This truly is a beautiful and moving song, made all the more poignant when you consider that the lovely Kirsty MacColl is no longer with us. She sings so well with Evan on this - their voices compliment each other.

Sadly missed Kirsty, but much and fondly remembered.

It's a Lou Reed song. And I think it's beautiful, this version, especially.

nice to see different covers, nothing comes even close to original Lou Reed David Bowie Mick Ronson muscle.

Lou was incredible doing this song, too. All is good, it's one of those classics.

Thumbs up if you linked here from the comments section of the Althouse blog!

Pay skankinjimbo? No amount of money will bring her back. It certainly was an awful accident and a terrible loss.

[skankinjimbo]

Someone needs to pay for what happened to her.

God rest you Kirsty a great memory to leave behing

This is nice, and she's great, but I wouldn't bad-mouth Lou Reed, a great, expressive vocalist as well as songwriter.

Easily the best version of the many covers of this tune. Certainly blows the Lou Reed original all to hell, although that isn't difficult to do since Reed couldn't carry a tune in a dump truck. Kirsty always had the ability to take another songwriter's song and make it her own. Evan Dando sounds as good as ever and compliments the song nicely.

I must agree, lovely cover, Kirsty shows her soft side. I can actually say I miss her and hope the bastard that was driving the boat gets what is deserved. I hope Kirsty's mum get's justice for her daughters murder and she can rest. Kirsty, RiP, I miss you
