You do know that this is a cover of the original by Tears For Fears right...... I like it but it is more depressing than the original. I have been a fan of Tears For Fears but more so Roland Orzabal since the eighties. After they broke up he kept the name and recorded a number of really great albums. He did have an album called "Tomcats Screaming Outside" , that CD is a bit hard to get but a very, very good album. Amazon.com has it.

That Gary Jules song is amazing.

By far, the best cover song I've ever heard live was Of Montreal covering "Purple Rain". There used to be a video of it up on Youtube, but it's gone now. They also did an outstanding cover of Bowie's "Suffragette City" that same night.

This is another great cover. There's no official video, so please enjoy whatever this is....

Everything they do is a cover. I'd have to say my favorite by them is their cover of Sinéad O'Connor's song (written by Prince) "Nothing Compares 2 U".
