the most beautiful voice in the world!!!!

Of course, this cover borrows a lot from the Cocteau Twins' version. But I'm okay with that, because it sounds amazing and so does this person singing it. <3

Not at all bad................

Ahhh, here's my vote: #1 Liz Fraser. #2 shockingly enough, THIS version. Who knew?

I first heard "This Mortal Coil" do this cover and instantly fell in love with it! But Tim Buckley performed it with SO MUCH PASSION and intensity when it's live. Georgy has a nice, smooth, &sexy voice - but I prefer the original. I'd like to hear Maynard James Keenan of Tool do a cover of this song, cuz I think he has a good enough vocal dexterity and range to do it justice.

I prefer this version personally. While Tim Buckley was ok...the accent got in the way.

i agree with you that this sucks but listen to john frusciantes cover. it VERY different from the orginal song but atleast good cover.

[Panos1963]

i guess irenenieweg cut and pastes most of his replies on threads then?..lol.... soooo clueless is this guy,check Tim's awful vocals on many a youtube clip in here!!

[irenenieweg]

this really sucks, maybe because of the bad sound. it's a discrease for the original performer Tim buckley. he was THE man. great voice, great songwriter. if you listen to him, you'll understand why no one should cover this or any other song!!!
