+1. People gives a 10 to a song that they love, and a 1 when they don't love it. And there is no rating between... |

She sounds like she has a terrible cold. Or is holding her nose. Which would be a new thing I guess.

Calm down. I gave it a 2 to redress the balance somewhat. It's not a good interpretation of the song in my opinion. There we go, we all have different opinions. I think the power of the song has just gone with this version, it sounds flat and dull when compared with the original. |

I don't hate it, but it seems to be needlessly sloppy.

Dear me Bill - this is a desperate piece of music. I'm shaking my head in disbelief, and after I've finished doing that I will be logging onto another station until I've calmed down - could be quite a while!!  It almost got the dreaded 1, but I gave it 2 out of possibly misplaced compassion. What a shocker. |

I didn't like this song in High School. A remake hasn't made it any better.

This is beautiful. At the very least it makes you sit up and listen to a song that most of us have become numb to.

Awesome to hear Merrie on Radio Paradise again, after a hiatus of... umm... seven years or so? And haters?  Cheers! |

Breathes new life into a dated and two dimensional song. Thank you Merrie...no need to waste decent lyrics.

I actually dig this version better than the original. I have no idea whether that is because, at certain point, I started to dislike Sting or simply because the guitar and bass work, plus the dreamy percussion, roots into my head more effectively. In any case, it might be a matter of this version being fresher...

Awesome! Great to hear a cool cover song on RP... especially one that Dylan didn't write first.

I'm a huge Police fan and I actually really like this cover. Must have been some nice Haight Street Rainbow you had that day. |
