Was originally going to post that I’d always thought this was a massive hit at the time of release and wasn’t it played on pretty regular rotation on even the most suburban of radio stations, for months? But then a little Wikipedia reading revelealed that nope, that seems to have just been in the UK. I never realised.
I appreciate a cover version that brings something new, but these days I draw an acception to slow, plaintive renditions of 80s/90s classics by sad-sounding people with acoustic guitars. I’ve seen enough TV adverts over the last decade or so that I think I’ve reached saturation point on that practice for a while.
