Teardrop on the fire

There are two basic reactions to this version of the classic original - "huh, interesting take" or "my God, what have you done?"

My personal opinion should be obvious from the fact that I put this up. It's not better than the Massive Attack, but it's got an interesting wistful, longing quality to it that's very Jose Gonzalez. (Though I'm not sure what it says about Jose Gonzalez that his best songs are covers.)

I also like the concept of the video. I just wish they had put more money into the production: that 6th grade art project look might have worked for another track (and especially another concept), but it doesn't work here.
