Is it just me, or does anyone else this might be an elaborate cover-up to save REM from the shame of facing another major hit after "Shiny Happy People" nearly completely destroyed their Indie-cred?
(You have to admit, it does sound a hell of a lot like Michael Stipe's voice\lyrics)

If it was Michael Stipe, I'd hate it.
Therefore it can't be Michael Stipe.
Easy! :-)

Besides, everyone knows you have no musical taste :-p

I prefer the Alex Parks cover to the Gary Jules anyway. :-D

How have you been anyway? You've been silent (LJwise at least) for ages.
Hmmm... are you sure ~you're~ noy Michael Stipe?

I woke up a few weeks ago go to the radio with this, and I must admit I'm very disappointed it's not Stipey.
To be quite honest I think it's better than the original Tears for Fears version, although the Flat Capped Muppet who sings this version should be kept hidden from the public eye.

I'm happy to say that most of it still sounds good, depite the 20 year gap since I bought most of this stuff. One thing that does sound a bit odd, though, is the single "The Way You Are" which I think was only a minor hit, and hasn't been re-issued on any compilations, etc, since.
Am I the only chap who remembers this song, perchance?
