What a gorgeous song! I don't know the original (I only know Lou's "Transformer" album) but I just love this. The piano and strings sound great. And the vocal is awesome. Great job, Hook.

Wonderful arrangement and performances on this, Hook.

I know the original (it's one of my favorites, on my favorite Velvet Underground album), and you caught the spirit and emotion of the song very well. I think Lou would have dug it. :)

very beautiful version....I really like the counter-singing played on the cello

Incredible I just realized that Mr. Hook had made 771 covers and original songs!
