MriekZ, it isn't the original. Though you're right, the violins and backvocals sound exactly the same. Though violins are easy to reproduce, as it is an instrument, and not some ones voice.

I doubt that this is the original... Is it? It sounds a bit different, out of tune here and there and less convincing than the version I have in my memory. The violins and the backingvocals are exactly the same though...
