This song does exactly what a good cover is supposed to do - it re-imagines the original material in a way that is completely different but is every bit as engaging as the original (which, in this case, I happen to enjoy as well). Great song! Very glad someone aimed me at it. I'd never heard of the Reels before that. They definitely sound like they're worth looking into.

They are/were... just type 'The Reels nzoz' to see all my uploads... I recommend "The Reels - Quasimodo's Dream (slow version, 1981)" on my nzoz1981 channel first.

very haunting lovely version

Great cover of a great song. Quite clever filming too; would have cost very little to shoot yet still gave a superb effect.

[Trajan730]

Totally agree. When I heard it first in 1986 I was shocked that it gave a new slant on a great song. Stands up well to this very day. In many ways I like this version better although I know I will be vilified for stating that.

[kdhvernon]

Very good version of this song.

[stuartthefirst]

I never really listened and understood this song till I heard this version. Chilling. And amazing.

My dog reckons that the Pooch at 38 seconds was her Dad.

I used to go and watch this band when I was half my age...Sunday night sessions at Central District Footy Club....

Dave always looked sad.

Stoked to have found this song. Brings back vivid emotional memories from my teens. I had a lot of fears and worries back then, but I remember this song, oddly, making me feel that things might be alright anyway. I love the one take film clip as well.

This version of the song has been coming to my mind a fair bit lately. Was wondering where i could hear it again; the reels are an old band of Australia and they where not that popular when they produced this. So i am very surprised and glad that i found this on Utube. I live the tempo of the song and how it is in some parts mournful. It's a classy version for sure.
