I hate to admit it, but you're right.
It's not that bad, is it?

I think vocally she sounds like she doesn’t care.
Funny this popped up, just read this on the NME site-
Some songs are far too precious to ever be tampered with: their DNA is so pristine and perfect that to twist them in new directions is tantamount to gross indecency. I still remember how queasy I felt when Mark Ronson turned The Smiths' 'Stop Me If You've Heard This One Before' into a horn-parping bellow-along anthem, all the subtlety and wit and humour removed to make way for some blaring, trumpeting reinterpretation. The horror, the horror.
I feel the same way about There Is A Light, or most Smiths and Moz songs for that matter. Although Arcade Fire's cover of London when I saw them live the other month was pretty good.
This song is too scared for some twat in her underwear to be "singing" it on stage. I can't even listen to the original recording unless I'm in the right state of mind. It's not the type of song I can just happily drive along to. A lot of Smiths and Moz songs are like that for me.
You mean sacred?
