    Covers aren't supposed to be duplications of the original. She sang it the way she felt it. She's not a Xerox machine. She's an artist, singing her heart with someone elses words.

    Drink up baby, stay up all night
    With the things you could do
    You won't but you might
    The potential you'll be
    That you'll never see
    The promises you'll only make
    Drink up with me now
    And forget all about
    The pressure of days
    Do what I say
    And I'll make you okay
    And drive them away
    The images stuck in your head
    People you've been before
    That you don't want around anymore
    That push and shove and won't bend to your will
    I'll keep them still
    Drink up baby, look at the stars
    I'll kiss you again between the bars
    Where I'm seeing you there
    With your hands in the air
    Waiting to finally be caught
    Drink up one more time
    And I'll make you mine
    Keep you apart,
    Deep in my heart
    Separate from the rest,
    Where I like you the best
    And keep the things you forgot
    The people you've been before
    That you don't want around anymore
    That push and shove and won't bend to your will
    I'll keep them still

    I think that her version is beyond sublime. Enough of the banter about whether Smith's version is better or not; she's paying homage to him, so I wouldn't expect the song to sound identical to his version. It's sad when fandom causes an automatic rejection of a beautiful cover.

    Obviously this is very good but there is something about the way Elliot Smith sings the song that can just never be matched by any other artist. The song personifies alcohol addiction, and the lyrics describe this "person" seducing someone into becoming an alcoholic. Elliot Smith's way of expressing that, through the softness in his voice, is done in a way where you can feel so many different emotions in the same moment as you listen to it. It's very difficult to explain, but it's definitely more than just sadness.
    This cover is beautifully done though, and I'm just expressing my own opinion. Everyone is entitled to their own, which means we don't need to fight about who sings it best.

    Not a bad cover. It's just that the song is completely different...yeah it has that melody and the lyrics but the way Eliott Smith sings it you can't describe it with words...thoose feelings he makes you feel - you just can't feel them when you're listening to this cover.
    I don't want to offend the singer of this one just expressing my opinion.
    P.S.: You have a good voice!! xx

    Pij,zlato, zůstaň celou noc
    S věcmi, co bys měl udělat
    Neměl bys,ale můžeš
    Ten potenciál,jaký budeš mít
    Který nikdy nespatříš
    Jen sliby,které uděláš
    Teď se mnou pij
    A na vše zapomeň
    Na všední tlak
    Jen udělej,co ti povím
    A uvolni se
    A odvez je pryč
    Ty obrázky přilepené v tvé hlavě
    Lidé,které jsi kdysi znával
    Které kolem sebe již nechceš
    Kteří tě tlačí,strkají a ohíbají tvojí vůli
    Budu si je nadále udržovat
    Pij,zlato,koukni na hvězdy
    Znova tě políbím mezi bary
    Kde tě uvidím
    S tvýma rukama ve vzduchu
    Čekajícího na to být konečně chycen
    Ještě jednou se napij
    A staneš se mým
    Zůstaň stranou,
    Hluboko v mém srdci
    Oddělen od zbytku
    Kde se mi líbíš nejvíc
    A nech být ty tebou zapomenuté věci
    Lidé,které jsi kdysi znával
    Které kolem sebe již nechceš
    Kteří tě tlačí,strkají a ohíbají tvojí vůli
    Budu si je nadále udržovat
