This reminds me how much I already love the PSD button..!

Because this song sucks. Just to be clear.

Wow.  Tough crowd.  My daughter is a cello player so I'm biased when I say, this is pretty cool.

As I was feverishly working away at my desk, I started to subconciously sing along, I realized what I was doing, that this isn't Supertramp, and (to the dismay of my office mates) started to cackle uncontrollably. This is just a fun little song!

Not particularly original, and they have nicked the name of a smooth jazz group's name.At least try and get a new name even if you are marooned on the bottom end of our planet.

Oh an original segue to Supertramp BIA. {#Snooty}

This works well as an instrumental, but I still think that songs with serious lyrics should not be done as instrumentals. Back in the day, I had a friend who was getting married and wanted "Annie's Song" by John Denver to be played. But he wanted it without the lyrics. I just facepalmed and resigned myself to the fact that there will never be an explanation for things like this.

i was initially impressed with string quartet or 'symphonic' interpretations of rock (or other) songs but i feel like the novelty ran its course... This sounds nice, but it sounds exactly like you'd expect a string quartet (I assume, based on band name) interpretation to sound

to quote Joey from Friends: "I mean, what's not to like? Custard, good. Jam, good. Meat, good!", if you like this song and you like string quartets (or the like), then you're all set aren't you?

«Balm after rock» style. Interesting, i like it. But in small volumes — a whole album of Apocalyptica (for example), too much for my ears.

A weak pseudo-classical reinterpretation of a pop hit. Is there any reason for this?

No, this is just stupid.

I do like covers and this one interests me.

But I don't think I'd like to hear it too often.

Do I like it?... the jury is out

It's an interesting cover, but only because I know every note and every word.

It's an Australian string quartet. have seen them live years ago, both RichPrins and me. Still have two autographed CD's. It was fun!

Artist's web site link is wrong - it links to the "US" Fourplay, which is NOT the band that plays this Supertramp cover.

BTW this version just interrupted a very nice (tender and quiet) moment between my girlfriend and I when we both cracked up laughing at the silliness of this song. Still a nice moment, but you can interpret what it says about the song as you will.
