    Not just one of the best covers ever, not just one of those extremely rare covers that improves by leaps and bounds on the original, not just a brilliant reinterpretation of a song that unlocks the meaning that was always hiding within it, but also truly one of the best songs ever.

    Very true, naxapinu nailed it, its an interpretation not a cover as such. different chord changes and completely dif sound and feel. I am a soft cell fan, so I do still prefer the original, but this is a beautiful song for what it is xx

    superb - almost as good as the 12" soft cell version which is perfection

    totally agree with naxapinu - brings out the bitterness intended in the lyrics

    I agree with naxapinu: So much more than a cover version, Love it!

    i still much rather perfer the original, but it depends on the version. theres about 4 different Soft Cell recordings of this from live sets, the original, the re-recording, the re-re-recording thats on the greatest hits... this is good, but my heart is with the original :) x

    I can't believe the likes of Michael Buble get more airplay than David Gray - he is a beautiful singer.
