This is gorgeous. Nothing like a beautifully covered 80s song. Like when you did ‘When You Were Mine’ at Mac Hall a decade or so ago- thank you for that. My sister and I used to dance in our living room with our mom to these songs, and combining those memories with your voice(s) is truly lovely.

After battling Covid all week and dealing with a hacked Instagram account added to the horrors happening around the world this week. I thank you for this Sara! This is an absolutely beautiful version of one of my favourite Crowded House songs. ❤️❤️

so beautiful 💖 as much as i ofc love your original songs, your covers either remind me of songs i had forgotten/see them in a new way or introduce me to songs i hadn't heard, both of which i love.

I needed this.

Just this morning I was feeling distinctly dissociated when trying to listen to music as if it was just a normal day, and the inner turmoil of thinking a mad man can end it all for all of us. I lived half of my life during the Cold War, but the unspoken doom never felt as close as it does right now.

I hope cooler minds prevail.

I was literally wrapped up in bed, feeling listless and so uncertain about the future, when I listened to this. Made me cry, but it felt cathartic, too. Music has a way of doing that. Sara, thank you for this.

I played this song the day I left my first job for good. Where I met my girlfriend of 3 years, my friend, where I learned to push myself and be brave and stand up for myself. I had to leave because of COVID; things were getting scary and I wasn’t sure what I was going to do for the rest of the spring/summer while I waited to move to my new apartment away from my family to start school. This song means everything to me, and to hear my favorite band (or half of it) cover it is literally making me cry. It’s taking me back to that scary time, where everything was dangerous. Thank you for reminding me that it got better. I only hope that it gets better for the people of Ukraine and everyone involved in the conflict.

I subscribed (not only to) but specifically today to be able to post about you covering this song! It's only my favourite song of all time. I love it.

Thankyou for using your means for healing to help heal many of us.

I've been intrusive hearing "I read the body count out of the paper, and now it's written all over my face. No one ever plans to sleep out in the gutter. Sometimes that's just the most comfortable place." in my ears on loop for days. But this strikes a much, much different chord of the same canon.

Thanks for sharing Sara! This came at the right moment. When the world is feeling colder, and we’re feeling older, sometimes we just gotta sing along to an 80s song covered by your favorite band. I teared up at some parts unexpectedly.

My FB memories told me that today, 14 years ago, was when I saw you in Glasgow for the tour of the Con. I later read you said that leg of the tour almost broke you up as a band. Tegan came up on stage in tears at the beginning of the set and I know I could feel all around me in the audience that we all felt so sad and sympathetic towards you two. You clearly had a rough time and you still showed up on stage and performed for us. That was such a gift :) So glad you're still performing together all these years later.
