The only way to make a Smiths song more emotional and raw is to have Jeff Buckley cover it

i love the original but buckley has such a beautiful voice, his cover is so raw and gutwrenching especially knowing his story. so sad but he brings this song a whole new life

I just about fell off my chair the first time I heard this. It's unofficial, floating around on the YouTubes. I think there was a (brief) relationship between them, too. I once saw Jeff accidentally in 1993 at a little (long gone) LES cafe called Sin'e on St. Mark's Place. He was doing Dylan, Van Morrison and Edith Piaf covers, we had a Rolling Rock, wondered why a bunch of models were there, then split for CBGB's. We were young/dumb and didn't recognize the greatness we were seeing in such an intimate space that night. But this is the mountaintop of heartachy music. I miss you Jeff.

At the height of my angst and a time where I wanted to escape via music so badly lol. This record did just that for me and listened to it through and through. I have “The O.C.” to thank for introducing me to Modest Mouse.
