I'm sorry Fever Ray's version sounds like a thousand other industrial bands you'd here at a goth club. It really is that generic. Now if Leonard Cohen covered this his version may surpass this. It needs a deep voice that borders on sinister.
@poisonedgin I'm a huge Fever Ray fan, and I honestly do prefer her cover, but why would say something like that? Maybe you don't like this, but Karin obviously does and her cover wouldn't have happened without it so show some respect.
screw by all greats songs like "your funerail, my trial," or "the carny",or sad waters, this song was less well known. But in fact, it's fucking AMAZING!..
fuck mate, I'm that old that I actually had Sting moaning on about the very same Grecian on the first long-playing-record which I purchased as only a young lad
Reminds me of Joy Division Shadowplay

I personally don't like his voice. Love the lyrics though and Fever Ray's cover.

@redsquarenine I'm just saying what I think. Not being offensive to Karin. Aaaaaand, I don't have to be respectful to music I don't like. GTFO U MAD?

Fantastic version, surpassing even the studio take. Love how the bass swells inside of me.
