Saw The Unthanks sing this my song (in my mind Elvis Costellos finest moment) in front of about 100 people in a small theatre in Peebles in June, absolutley beautiful, great memories, thank you
No. Why do the women sing it properly and he might as well just speak it? He does this off pitch version along with the melody way off only to do it properly at the end? I know about abstract music but this is too much. Took a great song and butchered it. Too bad cause the ladies do a nice job.
Stunning cover ! 🖤

Yes, and he co-wrote it, didn't he just do the lyrics.
A beautiful cover, thank you ❤️🇨🇦
Beautiful version of a beautiful song
Really touching! - Diving for dear life, when we could be diving for pearls
I've seen the unthanks many times and they're always amazing!!!
Brilliant simply brilliant !
I love it! 💖🎶✨
they are so very good
Is it worth it?
Let me work it.
I put my thing down, flip it and reverse it.
We could be diving for pearls?
does something different with the song - this and june tabor are my favourites
No, Robert Wyatt's.
Nah, sorry Adrian, but you ain't a lead singer.
Shipbuilding plus the Unthanks, should be better than this.

he's not off pitch. he's an octave lower. slightly changed the phrasing here and there.
I'm with you. I love the Unthanks, and this song, but what they've done with it makes me want to shake them.
Just try to listen it all again… At first I had a not so good impression, but I was wrong…

Yup.
Oh crikey. What are they doing? Adrian shouldn't sing this, and the chords don't sound right, maybe it's the voicings.
I disagree... It is just a different arrangement, not attempting to be a replica of the original!

I rather liked his vocals.
