The Smiths' version is done as a plea. This is a prayer. Both versions are excellent. For very different reasons.

I love The Smiths, but this version is exquisite

"Life moves up pretty fast, and if you don't stop once in a while to look around, you may miss it"

I’m bringing a pair of earbuds next time I go to an art museum and I’m just gonna stare at a painting intensely while listening to this song.

A giant sent me.

Ferris brought me here....

I bet when you're at a point in your life where it feels like nothing is going right, this song hits different

incoming Kane Pixels fans

This song (especially the instrumental) makes me feel both happy and sad. So many emotions.

this song leaves a GIANT hole in my heart

This song has me ROLLING on the floor, crying.

I missed this one when it came out originally. So, Kane Pixels brought me here. That's right, a 17 year old filmmaker introduced a GenX old man to a song from his own youth. That speaks to the timelessness of this song.

That museum scene always stuck with me and anchored to it is this beautiful gem!!!

I have loved this song ever since Ferris Bueller's Day Off. I am amazed by John Hughes' taste in music and how he combined it into his films. RIP Mr. Hughes, you gave a generation an amazing soundtrack.

Everyone describes this song as melancholic and sad, but it's always been more comforting than anything IMO. It emits that 80's innocence.

This makes me cry. It's just wonderful, especially the oboe part.

Dream academy have some seriously beautiful songs way way underrated group.

Always fun to hear different artists interpret a song, and this one's a beauty. Nick's vocal understates the lyric well, and seeing the lovely Kate St. John is worth the price of admission.

So calm and peaceful, an excellent version of the song. Love his voice
