oh man , when i first saw this i thought it said Days Before You Came (as in the Placebo song) and i was like HE COVERED THE CURE AND PLACEBO!? MY TWO FIRST FAVOURITE BANDS!!! FUCKING LOVE HIM...slightly disappointed but this is still a lovely song and Steven Wilson is still my idol =P
This is so good its like WHO sang this before him. steven wilson is the most talented musician of all time even though he considers himself a writer and producer his talent is unmatched

The acoustic is in a nice tune but yet kinda flat, like there're no upper no downer parts. On the other hand the vocals could use a lot more of guts; you must capture the despair of a lover that wonders what could it had been if the other one should have stayed, this fact is what make this song so emotionally powerful and yet so exhausting while listening to it when you find yourself in Agnetha's place. Cute cover, can totally be improved to make it Super Trouper!!!
Not bad, but lacks real passion and tragedy, which were present in ABBA's song. This cover version dos not move your strings inside, ABBA's does and always has done.
Always loved this song and the lyrics -this was indeed nice! Tuesday Weld, Tanita Tikaram and Blancmange all did their cover versions of ABBAs swan song (the demo lyrics had the title "Den Lidande Fågeln" [The Suffering Bird]) -this was different again --
nice cover.

Better than ABBA's version, not ignoring the value of originality though.

I feel that the blancmange is an awful cover and make fun of this beautiful song, abba's version and Steven's are so perfect

@cecilylovegood It's on Cover Version II by Steven Wilson. All his recordings are excellent purchases.

I usually hate ABBA-Covers, but this one certainly is great and worth being heard on and on and on

I'm not ashamed that Steven has hit me in my heart with this cover and it always makes me cry.
And that while the original bugged the sh*t outta me, really.

Such a fantastic song, and to me, no surprise Mr. S.W. recognized it just like that.
Wonderful cover version!

Pure and simple. Perfectly the best of all covers of this song, and miles above the ABBA original.

The Band from 80/90´. They made a great version too.
