    They were brave to cover this track. Garrett has a powerful and unique vocal but this is a worthy cover. Love the lyrics to this track...especially in these times.

      You only realize how powerful Garrett is when you hear this. But, they do their best.

    A lot of great original songs by The Killers, but are they also the world's best cover band? So many great ones, including this one.

    for me all Midnight Oil covers are bad covers. This band`s song could never be made covers= there`s simply not enough passion and magic in it. MO is unique,
