i've been told so many times how much i was supposed to respect and admire that song because i was also a canadian musician. the adulation seems forced at this point, kind of like how anyone who liked indie music a few years ago absolutely HAD to be all over the smiths and joy division.
I meant to type I don't blame him - I often give the prefixes a miss like that (comes with being English) . There are about a dozen of his songs I think artists could make more interesting covers of, Suzanne, Story Of Isaac and Famous Blue Raincoat among them.
