Slick and polished, but seems to loose the charm and sweetness of the original.

These are kids - look how young the drummer is. They're still learning. And often, getting to the emotional nuance - to the music behind the notes - is the hardest thing to learn.

It’s a different arrangement with a different feel. The musicians are very charming in my opinion ☺️
