    I just listened to The Motels version of this song, a live rendition. Holy cow. Angel Olsen nails it entirely. Very beautiful. I've listened to it 3 times in a row today already.

    I was ready to rubbish this before I had even heard it as I loved The Motels and Martha and as it first started I thought nah! But as it went on it really started to grow on me and by the time the outro started I did not want it to finish. Great alternative take on a great song. I'm impressed.

    It is becoming a classic song, but mainly because of that fantastic sax solo. Every cover version has to live up to that. I think they come pretty close.

    Angela I fine rendition of this clasic by The Motels the waver in ur voice is something I'll hold onto its beautiful but what else I couldn't help noticing was the pain in yer eyes and more poignantly ur Soul .I hope ur getting help with that my friend you deserve the peace that only you can achieve. I also suffered with this for life but if you checkout madboy darker days on here I think you'll get that through my Lyrics but f*** maybe it's all part of The universal magic thing. Namasta sweetheart peace nd Love Mark aka madboy ❤🙏x

    I like Angel Olsen’s original music enough but have not yet been into any of her covers (and it seems she does a lot of covers)…feels like karaoke, unlike e.g. when Amy Lee sings covers. Angel sounds quite literally like a sheep in the chorus trying to imitate Martha Davis. I have to watch Martha Davis’ Sept. 2021 Burbank live performance of this song to cleanse from this.

    Too much reverb on her voice. Strange arrangement. Weird vibe and I felt like they ‘got lost ‘ but kept going because it was live. The motels doing it live is way better. The Sax solo!!An opportunity missed I reckon.
