Sounds like this guy, except with contemporary pop-ish voice modulation (in the refrain):

I'm not really that sentimental?
Come to think of it, it's interesting to consider the structural similarities between the two - chanson tradition? I don't know much about music history or theory...
The refrains:
Quote:
My youth
Byelorussia
Partisan song
Pines and fog
Partisan song
Scarlet dawn
My youth
Byelorussia
The lyrical bodies:Quote:
Country roads
take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia
Mountain mamma,
take me home
Country roads
Verses 1 and 3, small clauses of evocative natural elementsQuote:
A white stork flies, over whitish plains it flies
A Byelorussian motif in song of heather, in song of willows
The land has received all diligence, and affection, and flame
The firmament blazed over the land, like a crimson banner
Our memory moves along the partisans' forest trail
These paths could not become overgrown in the people's fate
The pain of those bygone years lives on hitherto in every heart
In each of our families cry the young children of Khatyn
A white stork flies over the plains, over quiet grains
Somewhere in the swamps cooling thunder is buried
A white stork flies, everything flies over cherished (native?) plains
Over our beloved land big wings spread
Verse 2, long connected phrases on themes of memory and home
(maybe verse 3 is intermediate)
Verses 1 and 2, small phrases of evocative natural elementsQuote:
Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue ridge mountains, Shenandoah river
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze
All my memories, gather round her
Modest lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me
Radio reminds me of my home far away
Driving down the road I get a feeling
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
Verse 3, long connected phrases on themes of memory and home
(maybe verse 2 is intermediate)
AC/DC "Highway to Hell" 1979 album. Every song is a real treasure! Those guys are old but still awesome!

Saw Fields of Gold, above. Eva's version is pretty nice:

This is a Leonard Cohen song of course and its covers have an interesting history..
The first cover that paved the way for every other version since, is John Cale's [of the Velvet Underground] cover, in 1991, from the Cohen tribute album "I'm your fan"
Cale's version changed the tempo and thus gave the song a completely new way of listening to.. all other versions, such as the one by Buckley above, as well as Cohen's own renditions since, changed to the Cale rendition..
Buckley's cover is very ethereal, very spooky, and is amongst the most - if not the most - loved..
Not many people know this but, Natalie Imbruglia's version of this song that became a massive mega hit, is actually a cover.. this is the original, ednaswap was a girls mostly alternative rock/noiserock LA band.. a classic..

I personally like this cover the most:

i really like this one ever since i first saw it on MTV back in 1989, when it first came out. Later on i found out that Edie Brickell is married to Paul Simon [of Simon and Garfunkel] - liked the album too..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_GkjymuQ9U
And since we're talking of Paul Simon..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6VrKro8djw
Paul Simon's name always remind me of the Clash, as their bassist was called Paul Simonon.. and this one is probably my own personal favorite of their records.. its a classic Mick Jones sweet tune.. love the paranoia in the lyrics..

Amazing performance, thanks in no small part to the Scottish audience..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soCpwoA6mh0
