The Feelies were insanely under-rated!! I love them. I love this cover. All hail The Feelies!

I think this is my favorite cover of all time. it's that good. The Feelies are disgustingly underrated.

This song introduced me to The Feelies, and the love affair with their music has never stopped...one of my all time favorites, and it's a cover!!!

My introduction to the band also and still to this day play them almost daily.

I received a Feelies demo CD(with this song and Higher Ground) from a college radio station in 1990. I've been a fan ever since.

When I was in HS in the 80s this was a radio-only 45 rpm and almost impossible to find. You had to hope your local used record shop had a good relationship with the local progressive rock radio station. I used to lose my sh*t every time it was played and crank it way the hell up. Once file sharing sites like Napster made tracks like this available, it was THE first song file I downloaded, and it had a skip in it. Did not care. It was clean in every other way, and I still listen to it to this day, skip and all.

I saw them at McCarter theatre at Princeton. Then , it was off to Hoboken.....

This is my favorite version of this song (sorry Patti) I listened to many times on College road trips.

The best American indie band of their time.

Thanks for sharing this hidden charm. Guitar team, drummer and voices make The Feelies a true gem in American rock.

This was a popular track to spin at William & Mary's WCWM college radio station back around 1990, which is where I first heard it--and later wound up spinning it myself. :-))

Beautiful song played by the most gifted group

I saw them do this live! I adore The Feelies! One of thee most underrated bands ever.

They need to put this in the next season of Stranger Things so this cover gets the love it deserves.

I remember hearing this on Kristy Michael's night show on 93.7 The Coast (Hampton Roads, VA) in the early '90s.

Saw The Feelies open for Lou Reed on the New York Tour in 1989. They gave us a Feelies cassette at the door with this, Higher Ground, and What Goes On. Never saw any of those songs available anywhere but youtube. Lost the cassette years ago.

Love this version,bought it when it came out way back when..... great live band....

Great cover of the Patti Smith original. Better than the original by a wide margin, IMO. One of the clerks at a record store I used go to in high school in the mid 80s told me this song was made available only to radio stations when it was released, and not the general public. Before the internet it was almost impossible to get a hold of it. One of the bands' best performances on record. Why they made it so hard to get is a mystery to me.

bad ass cover.

Ah Max's. Seen many great shows there in the early 90's. I also have this 12". Bought it for this cover and glad that it came with "Higher Ground"

Joya 📀🔥

I have never heard this song before ten minutes ago. I listened to Patti Smith's version first (for the first time) and then I immediately found this one on youtube minutes later. Different styles, this one is blissful, however i prefer Patti's. About to go further into the Feelie's catalog tho!

Wow!

This band never ceases to amaze me... Unbelievable.

lovely cover

Me too! If you watch this whole video, I have two set lists, both from that show. The first was from the 7:00 pm show; the second was from the 11:00 show where they played Dancing Barefoot. It definitely sounded EXACTLY like this. The guitar sound was incredible!! I was standing literally 6 inches from the band - front row of course!!

Excellent track

very amazing

Wunderbar

Thank you so very much for this video. I'd never heard this if not for you. 🌷

I like it but my favorite cover is by The Mission. The Feelies are a great band though. I was able to see them in '88 at the Fillmore right after their Only Life album was released - great show! There are a lot of covers of this song. U2 did it in '89, and that version was included in the soundtrack to Two Girls and a Guy. Simple Minds has a decent cover of it too.

Had no idea they'd done this

Liked it a lot

Thanks, Axe. I think the guitar sound is incredible!

Patti Smith's original is potentially as beautiful as this Feelies version but isn't because it's spoiled by the 80's drum production. As usual the Feelies have an ear for what's very good and make it brilliant. The same is true of their version of Love Tractor's "Fun To Be Happy".

sounds like the byrds❤

Who is the vocalist? It doesn't sound like Brenda! She sang at a higher register. Have always loved this enigmatic band since I saw them open for REM in Buffalo 1985. Best live was Boston's Paradise early 1990 or late 1989. Wish they used her singing more! She slides in so perfectly here! No knock on Glenn but he could force his vocals and they could have used her. But what makes this band a precious jewel is their determination to do it in their zig-zag quirkiness, often only playing near Haledon NJ on holidays when the paint store was closed, often changing their name or members. Must have made marketing types nuts! So who is the vocalist? Compare her to Speed the Plow, where Brenda sings. Not the same. Thanks for posting this. I'd been searching for it for a while...
