Liam O'Maonlai has so much soul in his voice, best cover of this song I've heard.

This is amazing...if I didn't know it was a cover, I'd swear it belonged to Hothouse Flowers. I've loved them since the 80's...They're an incredible band. Always said they should have been huge.... going to listen to this over & over, & send it to everyone I know. ...what a masterpiece.

All I can say is that anyone who would share this is someone I would be eternally grateful to for ever. This is thee very first time I ever heard this version of this Song....I would imagine that the human Being, Soul called Prince would approve...What a beautiful testimony to the soulful beauty of Liam O'Maonlai's voice....I will for sure be listening to this beauty again.......Thank You for ever.....

So true my friend*

[@conormckeown3691]

agreed

[@LawnNinjaBek]

John Obrien that's exactly why I tuned in today. Needed the beauty and emotion if Hothouse Flowers this morning (more than usual).

[@NegativeMass85]

You nailed it, John! Never even knew they'd covered this song til I stumbled across this video. If you get the chance to catch them live, treat yourself. I've seen them about 8 or 9 times now, and they always deliver.

[@lindamacmanus6352]

Fantastic Live! ❤❤❤

[@conorjohnhowe1892]

By god he can sing.

[@jacquelineelsner2146]

Yes he can. I Was fortunate to see them when they first came to the States and the subsequent year after that. I went to live in Asia and didn’t see any other tours after that. They toured one time in the 90s while I was overseas and I haven’t seen anything of them touring in North America since then. I wish they would tour again here in the United States/Canada. One of my all-time favorite bands. And I am a woman who grew up with the 60s and 70s bands.
