I'll take a troubled bearded man alone in the woods with his guitar over a little girl and her mtv video any day.

Edit - that line sounds wrong, and of course in all other circumstances I'd def choose the little girl.

But I think his version is so much more raw and heartfelt.



Listen to his version and hear how he lets his voice loose control whilst singig the chorus 'I told you to be patient, I told you to be fine' etc. He has so much more passion in his voice and emotion in his voice, you can hear it's real for him. Whereas she sings it very well but far too controlled, wiithout real emotion, at least imo.

She has a great future, but his version is the real deal, whereas hers is the sanitised, tv ready version imo.

Also that album, For Emma Forever Ago is a fucking brilliant album, that's not even in the top 3 best tracks. Flume, For Emma and Stacks are all amazing. amazing songs. In fact in terms of the quality of each track it's one of the very best albums I've ever listened to, OK Computer for example has about 5 tracks I just skip over, For Emma Forever Ago every track is an A list.
