[dewexdewex]

@pedstarr thx

[apemantus67]

Wow! I love both this and your version of "You and your sister" Outstanding work!

[dewexdewex]

@apemantus67

Thanks. Shame about the Chilton.

[shiftleswhenidle]

R.I.P. Alex, you were a great songwriter and also a great ear in the studio for many bands.

[dewexdewex]

@shiftleswhenidle Shame, that. He was one of the pop greats; wrote a whole lot of fantastic songs.

[ZARYJACKSON]

sounds so muuuch better with Brian so sad!!!! aghhh!!! so deep "everybody goes leaving those who fall behind"

[generalpatton222]

the slight background noise totally adds to the ambiance of the song, fantastic cover!

[omgbetch]

You do have a beautiful voice.

[dewexdewex]

Thanks.

[dewexdewex]

@omgbetch

Try the Chris Bell song I just recorded.

[lutherblissett3]

Very nice, I like your voice.

[thundernut]

Nice

[snotser]

Another good song murdered...

[dewexdewex]

Meany.

[billybacci]

this really is a great rendition.

[dewexdewex]

Thank you.

[sugarydonkey]

Banal version. None of the feeling. You don't seem to be able to live the song. You obviously can't relate. and the recording's a mess.

[dewexdewex]

I'm not prepared to get into smack to satisfy your high standards in art.

[basha07]

Chilton wasnt into smack downers and liqour

i,ve heard worse btw nice spacey keys

[dewexdewex]

Thanks.

[sallyheartjack]

so wait, who sang this version?

Big Star did it originally right? Whose is this?

[dewexdewex]

Mine: I arranged, played and sang it.

[sallyheartjack]

oh! I love it more than the original ;D

[dewexdewex]

Thanks.

[marisilence]

i've been thought this is original!

very nice,dewex!

[sophminx]

anyone got this song they could send me? its so beautiful

[dewexdewex]

I put a link to the mp3 on my server in the video info.

[sophminx]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate this. Your version is SO much better than the original. I feel you have so much more depth in your voice, it sounds so sad, but brilliant. Thank you again for the link :)

[priestfielddom]

Listen to Pauline Murray and the Storm's version on youtube for a different slant.

[seanreillyireland]

This is possibly the bleakest song and production I have ever heard.

[howelldrake]

Exactly. I played this at a solo acoustic Halloween show last year, bookmarked by traditionally "scary" songs like "Season of the Witch" and "Sympathy for the Devil." I warned my audience that while not traditionally "scary," it was existentially terrifying.

[seanreillyireland]

Good for you, my friend.  I hope they appreciated it!

[howelldrake]

Thanks, Sean. They did.

One question--in referring to the production--did you mean on the "album" or did you mean the audio on the video? In that, yes, It's bleak on here, but, as I think you're saying, it's absolutely chilling on "Sister Lovers" aka "Three." Cheers.

[0rlok]

This is the original version, and for some reason the others bands (Placebo, This Mortal Coil) select it for made a cover! but well, honestly I like the 3 versions, but if you can, compare the voice in This Mortal Coil from 1984 with the placebo's version from 1999. Rock!

[Raider1648]

OMG! what is he shoveling? please dont let it be what I think it is

[frndrmgym]

i like this version much better than placebo's. the version of this song by big star that i heard on the FIOS TV radio is much better and i cant find it

[pathoplastic]

yeah, the one on big star's "sister lovers" is the best imo.

hope someone uploads that and "big black car" -- quite depressing though beautiful

(but I'm thankful for this video--like hearing different versions--love chilton)

[ripleymj]

placebo's is better

[dewexdewex]

They had to take a lot of drugs to get anywhere near Chilton and still missed it by a mile.

[bipolar9]

Sin palabras

[Syyyra]

I like placebo's version better. :)

[XISTH]

Mine cost less. Brian Molko is going bald.

[kikhuana]

Damn, this is such a beautiful song. <3

[spacemonkeypurf]

just great

[Karkar82]

This is such a beautiful song

[emkaymixone]

sad eyed lie, a holocost. -> holocaust is a lie ? .. cool

[786hanif]

it's not what he means!

[christinesshadows]

Don't get this vid. love Alex though.

love this song. wasted face a sad eyed lie, a holocost...

[daviddosborn]

Or, I could imagine the E being End, Empty, Eternal

[fear64]

Great!!!

[XISTH]

Is that bloke on E ?

[dewexdewex]

The significance of the letter had occured to me, but I hadn't the wit to do what you have done.
