Sassy Nation version!
Sister Savage and Mr Sandbags collaborated on the original of this wonderful heartbreaker of a song. I’ve been playing it on the guitar the last few days and it always seemed to come out with a grittier tone, so i asked if i could cover it.
Alex Moody (in the early hours of this very morning) gave exactly the right organ sound on the very vague instructions that it had to sound like the soundtrack to “The Harder They Come”. Which track off the soundtrack? All of them. Oh. OK.
Alex also contributed that lovely wha guitar and managed to cope with my wacky sense of timing in the early part of the song.

Hi, my 17 guitar is 17 equally spaced notes to the octave. So it has 5 extra frets. I tune it like a regular guitar with small adjustments to take into account the different fret placements. you can find pictures of the guitar here http://chrisvaisvil.com/?p=436

There are lots of reasons to love this. I'd list them, but it's already obvious to all, and I'm too busy listening to this gem...

Cover versions always completely thrill me. It's like someone genuinely didn't think your song sucked. I love this - have added it to my re-imaginings playlist. But actually I started this comment to agree with Regs, so to get to the point, your vox sound amazing.
