Nostalgia or tribute?

I remember when i first heard it...i think it was 1984 and i was driving by my college listening to the college radio station, when i heard "R.A.T.F." by the Smiths...i think i was stoned, and i was struck at the sheer honesty and no bullshit nature of the singer and the pure poetry of the lyrics and the beauty of the chimey clean guitars

Good cover, nice voice that goes well with the song. Shame that he didn't do the grand outro (you know, the "I dohoooo" bit) but apart from that, well done!

The piano is quite lovely, but the vocal sorely miss that indescribable sense of longing. I prefer Duncan Sheik's version.

Very very nice but I wanted more emotion at the end. He should have stayed with the Smiths ending.
