Had to listen to the original at first. I prefer your version! This minimalistic LiItLR take works real well! Great tune, btw...

[Hook]

The litlr treatment really gives it a poignancy the original kinda lacks in my opinion. Braw!
Rock On!

[Flash Harry]

I knew as soon as I saw the topic that this would be right up your street. It suits you perfectly.

[Tangled Wires]

Good suggestion, and stripping down that big 80's production of the original has given the song a tenderness and closer connection with the subject.

Your vocal is a real standout here Jim.

[Greeny]

I really like Simple Minds, but this was a song I could never warm to back in the day. They should have done it like this - it adds such an emotional warmth and respect to the subject. Fits you like a glove, and the vocal is exceptional. Brilliant.

[Jarle]

Beautiful performance James. Love it. I too prefer your version.

Don't know the original, but this sounds like one of yourn. Very intimate and contemplative piece. Very well done, and well-suggested!

[64Guitars]

I don't know the original either but I agree that this one fits your style nicely. Well done.
