This was a delight! First hearing the great performance by Rene, and then following it by reading what Pete wrote.
You've managed to take a song that's overtly familiar and make it your own. I doubt the original artist could carry it like this without the production. It certainly wouldn't sound this good.
The guitar playing is always handled well. There's very little to comment on that. It's always perfectly balanced to support the vocals which are the reason we're here. I can imagine people cathering around a campfire, listening to Rene and getting lost into the music.
I don't unfortunately remember when i first heard the original. I would imagine that the first time i heard it... I went YUCK and changed the channel But times change.

Hi Zoltan,
What a privilege and honor to be reading your comments.  How I wish we can do the campfire sing-songs together as a group, with you and the folks in this forum, that would be a blast, and the best thing is the company!!!
Your wonderful comments are truly beautiful, and I am so thankful for you taking the time to write these excellent and inspiring words.
You are simply awesome, and I am in total respect for you, and your kindness!!!
Thank you Zoltan!!!
Respectfully,
Rene

I never heard that song before. I mean, I'm very familiar with the original Spandau Ballet version, it's kind of been a cliché throughout my life, but I've never heard it.

That's way better than the original.
