Don Henley duets - "Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough" and "Leather and Lace"


There are two songs that I love - both by female artists, and both are duets with Don Henley.  They're great songs in their own right, but I always get a kick out of hearing Don singing the HIGHER harmony, because Patty Smyth and Stevie Nicks have lower vocal ranges.

Here's a fabulous live duet of "Leather and Lace": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRQ8NUEvwiI

And I love the subtle lyric shift in the chorus of "Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough" - it goes from:
"There's a reason why people don't stay where they are..."
to
"There's a reason why people don't stay who they are..."
It shows the power that relationships have over us, that they can transform us in the most fundamental ways.  In this song, it's meant in a sad way, but I like to think we are all capable of changing in positive ways, and it helps if we're surrounded by people who love and support us unconditionally.
