      The start of the song "come up to meet you" took me straight to the day when i first met him.. He walked up to me and sat at my feet as a puppy and i said well i guess youre the one.. Then so many memories flooded in "you dont know how lovely you are, running in circles, chasing our tails, awoooo" how much life can you fit into one little dog.. Was a privilege and learned so much. Listening to this was very healing for me

    This! This is great. It's what Like A Version should be. Great current bands putting their own spin on huge songs from huge artists. There was a long period there where Like A Version seemed to be tending towards a massive circle jerk among artists that featured recently on the station. Illy, Hermitude, Gordi, Alex Lahey, DMA'S, The Beligerants; those were fantastic Like a Versions. Triple J, please trend that way and not just recycling songs on recent rotations.
