I’ve always liked this song, found it very evocative, but in my mind it sounds a lot more like your version than the TfF version actually does! When it plays in my head it’s achingly melancholy… And your voice certainly captures that (“Happy birthday”) … perhaps it was encoded into the song in a way that read like to us, or brought up those feelings, when we were younger but that no longer sounds like that to our adult ears? Anyway this is lovely…
🙏❤️ I've definitely spent more timewith the Gary Jules version, which is likely the first one I heard. It seems to me to work better stripped down and sparse, which is my vibe, of course! I've always liked it as well, and can imagine more versions in the future...
👍👍 Well Adjusted Buddha was just thinking about this song yesterday, and now she's convinced you have telepathic powers!
🙏🐶 Those are very specific powers to have! 😱😂
Well done J, and I definitely prefer your version of this song!! 😂💖🙌
Haha, thank you! 🙏💖 I'm a bigger fan of the Gary Jules version than the original, myself...

Now I’m listening to the Michael Andrews/Gary Jules version and realizing that vibe is much more present there…
However I feel yours has the melancholy without the whimper
