Happy to oblige

[cuthbert]

Yes! You went all icy Juno with it, and I dig the Bowie-esque vocal styling. A slower tempo, and a more stately feel. It's a beauty.

I listened to the original on YouTube in connection with this a couple of days ago.  Great version.  I love how you sang this, I can hear you staring enigmatically into middle distance.
