A slow, soulful 'Hey Ya' cover? That...works?

Ye gods.

I suspect this is ironic but can't confirm it....

Being that I live in an odd little world of my own largely untouched by television or radio this is actually the first time I've heard that song. The crosscuts to the orignal video were my only clue to the fact that this guys take on it is a little different (<---- deliberate understatement).

Guess I should look up the original and see what that's like.

I had no idea who the guy with the guitar was either until I looked him up. My impression so far is that he has a lovely voice but his own compositions don't interest me as much as that cover and I wish his friend with the trumpet and keyboards would go away.

I'd love to find more, purely acoustic, just some person with a guitar music.

Thanks for washing the window on my little hermit hut in the swamp. I should probably look outside more often.

Finally a version of that song that does the lyrics justice! The poignancy of it was so lost to so many.

Yeah, I have to admit, I'd never caught the lyrics before. They're quite lovely. Thanks Bri!
