    So many like a versions are just carbon copies of the originals. I love it on the occasion when an artist is talented enough and imaginative enough to do something truly different... "*like* a version" of another song. I love the QOTSA original. But this gave me goosebumps in the build-up to verse 2. Bump-day request anyone?

    After reading through some comments, maybe it's bc I don't listen to the radio, I've not been a big Stone Age fan, but this... as a stand alone, as if I'd never heard it, was beautiful. Sometimes you must forget what you know to embrace the beauty in front of you.

      It's because you don't listen to the radio and are not a QOTA fan.
      That sounded like it could have been sung by a 13 yr old girl auditioning for the voice.
      No heart, no soul, no life experience to give it the substance it deserves. Just repeating the words of the most mainstream song by a band they once overheard was cool from their best friends older brother.

      I'm a huge fan of the original I remember waiting by the radio years ago just so I could know the name of the song and who sang it and it took some time for me to find out. But I'm open to anything and I gotta say Safia gave it his own touch and I love it as well, of course it's no QOTSA. Sounds somber and I'm enjoying it. Two completely different versions.

    QOTSA doesn’t lend itself as easily covered in a slower tempo.
    Most of their discography is loud and bombastic, sometimes obnoxiously so (as a huge fan of the band)
    The second verse sounds A LOT better than the beginning here, because the louder vocals transposed with the quiet instrumentals captures that harrowing and sometimes disturbing sounds QOTSA is also known for.
