This song was originally released in January 1984 but failed to make the UK top 40 as did their follow up 'Such A Shame'. After a couple of top 20 hits in 1982, they had another top 20 hit in January 1986 with 'Life's What You Make It'. Howver, it took until May 1990 when this song was re-issued for this to become the biggest hit of their career eventually peaking at no. 13. This was largely due to the promotion of their greatest hits 'Natrual History' album which was also released in 1990.

I hate discussing which version is better - to me, talk talk is original and it's a classic. but I don't know why you call ND's attempt (and it's their not her) a sorry one ? they hardly changed it... ofc that people would hear for it, but nd just brought it back to life. It's not that they made a dance song out of it...people shouldn't ditch no doubt because of the cover, but only respect them even more, because they are simply a creative and ambitious band.they've always done covers...respect.

And if it wasnt for their cover,we wouldnt get expert teenies coming in and saying their version is better,its a two way street here. In most peoples opinion..genius is best left alone,great songs like this are only covered for financial gain,not because its a damn tribute,people would still have heard of this without her sorry attempt,so i tend to disagree with your comment!

Nothing comes close to this great original version especially not No Doubt's crappy cover!
