      This song is really stepping up the game not just because of immensely talented voice but also from very thoughtful composing.

      @@ToeTag1968 I don't think I could call it low hanging fruit, personally. Yeah, it's been done a lot, and it's pretty much always going to sound good, so I do get your point. But the bar is incredibly high. If you don't bring something completely new to it _and_ do it perfectly, people aren't going to be satisfied, because they've heard better. A lot of my favorite song covers are from PMJ, largely because that's exactly what they do: they make songs new and perform them at a staggeringly high level.
      PMJ still didn't quite match up to my personal favorite cover of this song, which really says something. It was still absolutely worth doing, as so many commenters are saying it's the first version that's really resonated with them.

    This is a late comment to this video and I have two thoughts. First, when I saw the video appear on UA-cam, I initially thought that we didn't need another interpretation of this song. I was totally wrong. Bravo, Scott et al. Brilliant work.
    Second, like a commenter above, I saw PMJ on tour a couple of weeks ago-- in Stockholm. Effie Passero delivered one of the most extraordinary live performances that I have ever seen. She absolutely stunned the audience. We all wept. If you have a chance to see her perform, do not miss it. Her rendition of Creep to close the show was also spectacular. With both of these tunes, she easily matches the talent of those who have performed it before, but she adds an emotion and a personal connection to the music that is absolutely staggering. I am so fortunate to have been in that audience. Thank you.

    For many years I've thought K. D. Lang's rendition was easily the best. Ms. Passero though delivers a simply wonderful rendition that challenges my belief. The way her voice effortlessly reached and sustained the high notes was glorious.

    Omg this lady's vocals! It's long been known this song is beautiful given how many artists/groups have covered it. It's hard to do a bad cover of this song but this is simply incredible! It's breathtaking.

    Absolutely stunning!!! This song has been done so often by so many people, it’s difficult to create a version that is both unique, and still as powerful as the original. What an incredible instrument her voice is - truly outstanding 🤯 Excuse me while I go to look up all the Effie Passero I can find ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

    You would think that with a song that has that many covers, it wouldnt be possible to make another version that felt new and interesting, but once again PMJ shows their talent. Incredible cover.

    I heard this live last night in Bournemouth. I am not embarrassed to admit that I started crying. The emotion, passion and power that came across blew me away by far the best live vocal I have heard….ever! Thankyou, this and the other songs you sang so superbly last night was nothing less than phenominal.

    I've heard there was a popular song
    That Effie sang and it pleased the throng
    But we all do care for music don't we?
    A dozen listenings and I think it's getting better.
    And every single breath we drew was ...?
