      Glad you like it :-) To me it just sounds like they put the mic too far away and opened up the compression to get her voice back. Many sound engineers today think that compression = good sound, without actually having a clue how a microphone works.
      The song is utterly beautifull but the recording of the piano and expecially her voice... is just... well I think it's horrible.

    I see a lot of acoustic covers of this song from up and rising artists like phoebe bridgers and lizzy mcalpine and idk if I can attribute it to this rendition. Such a revolutionary cover that even the meaning of "teenage dirtbag" changed (at least for me). Props to the idea of the arrangement and execution of self-expression of the artists behind this cover (including the sound people/engineers responsible for capturing the subtle and raw details of the performance).
    Best Stories cover for me. Cheers!

    This is the best cover I've ever heard of this song. Good lord! Victoria's voice is insane. Sheesh.

    I would never have imagined this song could be infused so much feeling and pathos. It's delicate and beautiful. It's incredible. A truly great cover.
