That was fucking stunning, I am ready for my day.

The original (says 1948 here) is pretty good. Hot damn, I would have not said it was half that age. Well well, live and learn, eh?

This version feels totally shallow to me; and the video matches it perfectly in that regard. The song itself is about a lonely person whose journey leads to a spiritually-evolved outlook. Yet here we’re left with a scratchy-voiced guy in sunglasses staring at a girl in a record shop. Lovely. Should’ve ended with someone taking a selfie!

I learned this version backwards:

Oh, those bell-bottoms

This video:

Too long intro

clomp clomp clomp clomp clomp

Chet Baker impression

clomp clomp clomp clomp

clomp clomp clomp clomp
clomp clomp clomp clomp

unfortunate note stretching

clomp clomp clomp clomp

Terrible lip synch bit

Mariah-Carey-level melisma

the end

If that’s the best laugh I have today, it will still have been a good day.

Videos smoke?

Shoot, I thought it was going to be a smoking video.
