A little like... (Score:1)

I like this rendition of the song, but as I listened to the beginning I heard a little Neil Young in the singer's delivery. Then I pictured Neil covering the song and thought it would sound very interesting. Then I went back to work.

The Cure's "All Cats Are Grey" is all you need.

Better than their version of This Charming Man from You Can Play These Songs With Chords. I know Ben is a huge Morrissey fan too. I haven't caught the full KCRW set, but they always put on a good showing.

Very basic and still very touching (Score:1)

I very much like this cover; simple, unadorned and beautiful. Ben's voice really works for this song much better than their other Smiths cover. This version and Noel's cover are really well done

I hate it, and here's why (Score:1)

DCFC is a really talented band; I admire their work! But this rendition is awful. It lacks energy and emotion, and the vocals are insincere--deliberately stilted. Very few vocalists can capture the essence of this song. The reality and urgency simply aren't felt. This cover is simply a confusing mockery. "Seven Worlds Collide" had a much better rendition. So did the Starbucks "Sweetheart" collection.

Imagine having no breath, and very little life left inside of you. Feel your heart beating almost out of control. Can you feel your insides burning, and your palms sweating-- your throat tightening? A severe headache--and only one chance to say "I love you." This is one moment, and there will never be another--for as long as you live. You have lost everything, and your hope and reason for living is next to you. How would you sing? ...Not like DCFC. That's for sure.

Ken.

Nothing really new or exciting done to the arrangement and a pretty lackluster vocal....

Deaf Cat for Cubans are normally an extremely DREADFUL band, in my opinion... but this cover version is actually quite decent and will be added to my collection. *Three snaps in a Z formation*
