The tempo is too quick and perky for the profoundly morose nature of the content, methinks.

Sorry, Mick and Keith, I'll choose this one over your original. She yearns more beautifully.

Miss you so much, Cynaera...  love this cover...

Considering how much I like the Stones and the Sundays, I had high hopes for this cover. {#Neutral}

The voice sounds an awful lot like Liz Fraser, from the Cocteau Twins, and the electronic guitar background sounds very 4AD-ish. Is it Liz, does anyone know? It's a very nice and sweet voice, and captivating song :o). 8 from the entranced Nottingham jury.

Nice electronically modified and enhanced voice. Who is she? The voice quality and phrasing sounds familiar — recorded under another band name, or her own — but I can't place her.

I agree with the classic caterwauling comment posted in here...would have liked to hear her take it down a few notches. That repeated guitar riff gets very distracting and annoying...sorry everybody, no accounting for taste, as they say..

That seems a bit harsh it’s a nice enough cover if not hugely different from the original.

The Flying Burrito Bros. version is really nice as well.

Not usually a big fan of covers, but I didn't care for this by the Stones - I thought it was weepy and overwrought. This I like very well.

I agree. A well-crafted cover informs the original, like this one and Peter Rowan's. That said, Tom Petty's cover of The Byrds' "Feel A Whole Lot Better," played here yesterday, is a fabulous rendition and pretty much a carbon copy of the original. Both approaches have mesmerizing appeal, no? Chacun a son gout.

Never heard this before..Very seldom do I like re-makes, but in this instance this is a better version, IMHO

Who knew this song could be this meaningful and beautiful. Finally...it has a beautiful life. RS were like the abusive parents of this song..thank you Sundays...you've rescued this poor foster child of a song.

This is pleasant enough, but i can't go higher than 7; but am totally down with the FBB, flashback to New Riders of the Purple Sage, POCO, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, the Dead, etc. Yes, we are all biased to our own generation of music, but the 70's were really a fertile time for all genres!
