This song has grown on me so much in just 72 hours that it's almost unreal. I've always had a strange fondness for Tracy Chapman's original, although admittedly I don't listen to it all that often. Xiu Xiu's cover manages to capture the desperation and the sadness of Champan's lyrics in a beautiful and very haunting way. Frontman Jamie Stewart's vocals alternate between a breathy, barely-there whisper and a heartbreaking wail. This song is spare, subtle, and entirely worth being played on repeat…
