This is one of the best songs ever recorded by a female artist...top 10 ever in my opinion. Compliments to songwriter Lloyd Cole, but she does the signature performance of this song, both studio version and here live. She needs to come out of retirement and keep doing new material and she could transform her career into legendary status. We get zero airplay of Sandie Shaw in Canada.
I definitely appreciate her "60's" style performance with a contemporary piece.
Much as I prefer LC&TC original, it's a beautiful song and this has an interesting slant to it. Still preferred Sandie doing 'Hand In Glove', with Marr, Rourke and Joyce though......
uhu... so fuckin'eighties. sandie's from naked feet to boots... that's her tribute to lloyd but i prefere the original one, though this sounds made with love, somehow
Ah, le look des années 80....C'est la seule décennie qui n'est pas revenue dans la mode..Heureusement! Hormis ces commentaires sur le look, cette chanteuse a une super voix.
Sounds like The Smiths with Sandy Shaw with that chiming Byrdsian guitar ... I love the boots and the skirt, btw, she looks soooo cool. Shame about that loose jacket.
I'm a great fan of Lloyd's but I must admit his version is not better than this one;Sandie does a fabulous job here you have to admit it!!!However this is a great song in itself!
I.35 the voice is awesome great cover this is she nailed it!

Check out the response to this song by Camera Obscura, "Lloyd, I'm Ready to Be Heartbroken". That song really rocks.

When people say 'interesting', their interest is rarely beyond the first listening.
Interesting.
Maybe you could extend on your shoe wearing by being the frontman for the Smiths, sans Morrisey, Sandy? Heaven knows...
If I may contradict myself, Lloyd Cole is not 'interesting'!

LLoyd Cole is a genius and his version is so much better than this one (which is also quite good anyway)
