The thing that I love about Nouvelle Vague covers is how they make my imagination go wild. I always dream up some scene when I listen to their songs. I love them.
For me, the original is living in the moment with regards the lyrical content. This cover is looking back on life and reminiscing about how it used to be. I'm a massive fan of the original and I think this cover does it enormous justice.
b side to the masterpiece that is Ghost town,but this song has a charm of its own.This cover doesn,t do much for me though,its that familiar trap of lesser artists thinking if they slow it down and add acoustic guitar it represents an expressive take. You and i know its boring.
This song is perfect when you're waking up after party, smoking a cigarette and watching the street while all your friends are sleeping.. Just imagine..
I am a 13 year old kid, and I really want to make it big on YouTube. Would you mind if you go to my channel, watch the Osama's Friday video, and click the subscribe button after that? Thanks a bunch :D
Nah , I cant be bothered with this. Its just cofee table shit. Very very clever idea though , New wave with nostalgic 60's type Parisian Chique. Its made them rich.
The Trouble is it gets dull after the initial novelty.
Man, people are dumb. Who ever said a cover had to be an exact duplication of the original? Music is ART and it is open to interpretation and the beauty of music is that artists are free to interject their own personal bits of artistic idiosyncracies, even when doing a cover of another artist's song. That's exactly what makes this version so awesome. They took a great song, adapted it in their own unique way, and made another great song that is actually a beautiful homage to the original.
Interesting version of this classic song. Doesn't quite work for me though, as it fails to capture that gritty 80s laddish feel that the specials captured so well.
anytime i hear one of nouvells songs first i love it more than the original but if i hear one of her songs after iv already heard it form the original artist i hate her version... i cant help being biast...
Excuse me, but if someone did a cover version of one of MY songs I would be fucking chuffed to bits!! Have you not heard the saying "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery"?? Get over your previous ways of thinking that it is COPYING. If the singer of Joy Division (yes I know that's Ian Curtis!!) heard what you said he would be turning in his bloody grave!! Let his memory LIVE!!! I should not have to explain this...
Always loved this song as she sung it . . .

They are INTERPRETING songs and making them sound like Nouvelle Vague and not trying to make a perfect copy. They put this special NV thing in them.
