    She's very talented and the instrumental is wonderful, as is her voice, however this lacks the "warmth" of the Radiohead original -- the comforting, lullaby-esque band backing and acoustic guitar especially, plus the sincere, tired tone in Thom's fuzzy-sounding voice are what make the original song my favorite of all time.

    While this does lack the warmth of the original, it is mainly due to the fact that Regina completely took the song in a new direction. I see it as a tired mother, getting home from her job middle of the night to soothe her crying child, quietly singing this lullaby to soothe the child to sleep. Promising the child that on day they will finally live a stable life with no surprises.

    Not a fan, I love radiohead to bits but... I don't know this is not doing it for me. It could have been so much better if she had been less gentle with it, she should have put a bit more bite into it (more bass notes in the piano notes). But it's a good cover overall.

    Her vocals annoy me a little bit... but the musical part of the cover is great! Goosebumps!
