I know, it's way too much Hook, but I started this thing and now I need to see it through. So I guess this is Morrissey covering a song by Raymonde, I don't know, I had never heard it before last night. I did this last night in the car, on the MBR. It's funny, I get much better levels & sound in my car than I do at home.
N on!

Great performance, you really got into Moz-character.

I'm a long standing Smiths fan and almost by default Morrissey fan too, although I'd not heard the original.  Point is I do have a kind of irrational protectiveness to Morrissey's work (god knows why), so I listened extra carefully.  Needn't have worried though.  Splendid.

Nice cover Hook - very Morrisey.  I'm away till friday next week so I'll have some catching up to do when I get back unless the wi-fi has improved where I'm staying. You should be close to Z by then ?

Never heard this song before...but i liked this take. It's bare bones, honest, and full of energy and emotion. Solid playing and nice vox. Good post Hook...

I was convinced I'd listened and commented to the lot, until I checked. Sorry Bro.
This definitely captures the sound of the Smith's, excellent job and cover.
