Awesome. And I didn't realize M.Ward covered this either. Great surprise.

As for the whole "intellectual bashing" thing, I don't think its being intellectual to like Daniel. It's open-minded. Relegating ur taste to only highly produced stuff is just boring and ignorant. Plus, Daniel's studio was a tape recorder and a garage or his bedroom. If you dont like the production, at least recognize good songwriting and melody when you hear it, even if the voice or play isnt to ur liking.

M. Ward's version may have heart but Daniel's has soul and soul lasts for eternity.

one of the greatest love songs ever

[kevkwak]

It's through M. Wards version that I came to know of DJ. I thank them both for their great music.

[Ilovemyfender2]

You can hear his vocals gradually declining in quality, up to the last verse and chorus when you can tell his vocal cords are tired. I love this!

[InvisibleHouses]

The Groovie Ghoulies also covered this back in '96, which is how I was first introduced to Daniel's songs.

Listening to M. Ward's version of this now. I don't love it.
