[@MichaelIretonEsq]

I am a Shane/Kirsty purist. This is one of the best covers I've heard that does justice to them and the song. Thank you, Puddles, for not doing a Shane impersonation.

[@stamfordly6463]

There's a slightly shonky Radio 2 acoustic version by James Dean Bradfield and K T Tunstall from the Archbishop of York's palace that has a certain charm.

[@MichaelIretonEsq]

@@stamfordly6463 Hadn't seen or heard that one before--thanks! Agree with your assessment.

[@leveljumper3732]

I agree that Storm on this is far and away better than any woman I’ve heard take on that part of the song since Kristy, and is just as good on this as Kristy was. I can’t say I’m a big fan of Puddles vocal take here, but that’s probably just me. Shane just had a rawness and edge in his delivery that I’ve never heard anyone replicate and any time I’ve heard anyone try and cover one of the songs he is known for it just feels like an entirely different song at that point. It’s still one of the better covers of this I’ve heard, though, and I’m glad to find Storm through this. I’ll definitely be looking into more of her work.

[@kairocs]

Agreed. I'll allow it.

[@bretthensel8178]

Blasphemy. This was horrible.

[@PuddlesPityParty]

I'm loving all the feelings we're getting over this song.

[@user-ck1gj2ol3e]

You butiful musicant man. From Russian sad clown kompositor Whith love

[@kathystricker7552]

Who would have thought this song would have started problems. (I was laughing reading all these comments probably because of the reaction you got but also because I don't think the comments got too bad). Half the country thinks one way and half thinks the other way. And both sides get mad at each other because the other side thinks bad of them. In regards to the mask, I want to wear one even tho I kinda don't believe they work. Lysol makes me cough and when I spray it when I have a mask on, I cough. On the other hand, my family and I were glad we had a mask on when visiting my dad in the nursing home and found out the next day that he had covid.

[@SarahPesto]

You have the best feelings, Puddles! ❤️❤️❤️

[@SarahPesto]

@@kathystricker7552 Oh no. I'm so sorry about your dad!

[@kathystricker7552]

@@SarahPesto The nursing home ( the end of August) called my brothers and sisters and my mom to let us know we could all visit the same day but only 2 at a time because they thought my dad was getting worse from other things....but it turned out he had covid instead. He died 3 days later. He was not on hospice until he got it.

[@scottlutz8347]

This is one of my all time favorites. I feel like it's one of the few true love songs. It deals with the truth of lifetime love's compromises, including bitterness and resentment. But it also shows that love doesn't have to end there. The bitterness is misplaced when you blame your partner. THEY didn't take your dreams from you, LIFE took them from you both. And it didn't TAKE anything really, you just...grew up. You're in this thing together. God i fucking love this song.

[@Kasey113]

You took the words right from me. This was going to be my comment.

This was a surprising treat. I had not heard this song before, it's rather unique. The duet is outstanding. PPP is always solid. Special Credit to Storm Large for visually selling her reply to "I could have been someone" with "so could have anyone". Epic. Thank you and Happy New Year!

Thank you. I have avoided anything to do with Christmas this year because this is the first year ever that my Mum and I will not be together, she's being held against her wishes and mine in a care home, that she cries to me about detesting so much when she phones me on her own mobile phone, her having been put there by social services who have used false information to do so. She's 81 now and this maybe will be our last Christmas ever, first time apart. My heart is beyond broken but your song made me smile for a little while, so thank you.

[@MsThebeMoon]
