I also prefer magnetic fields version but the fact that Shins choose to cover it and do such a nice job affirms their unique greatness I think. Love the Shins and can't wait for their new CD (with Simple Song on it)
I love the Shins, but I'm not a fan of this cover. The Magnetic Fields are a difficult band the cover, Stephin has such a unique and mesmerizing voice.
It's 5 chords! 5! That's it! Here, I'll give them to you!
F, C, G, Am, and Dm. That's it! How can you not "get it"? Do us all a favor and "get" rid of all your equipment; you'll be making the world a better place.
@LindaDynamite Best cover maybe, although Plenty is never Enough was superb too! Their best was and will be New Slang followed by Caring is creepy and Split Needles.

I really like both the Shins and the Magnetic Fields. This is a good cover, although not as "magically produced" as the original.

This is a great version, I personally still prefer The Magnetic Fields one though.

Hmmm, like the vocals. Not a fan of the backing instruments. But nothing beats Merritt's voice.
