That is one of the most unusual and interesting cover versions I've ever heard, I've never come across it before.Originally Posted by Silent

I think as a cover it feels like a completely different song. I know plenty of covers have that feature (All Along the Watchtower for example) but Glory Box is always more special to me.
I love both versions but there's so much soul in Martyn's version.

Gorecki no 3 largo.
All of this movement, but the female voice in the middle gets me every time. Wonderful music.

You are absolutely right, it feels like a completely different song. I think I heard a few tweaks to the lyrics too.

Yes, thats a nice piece of music.
But it doesn’t give me that kind of haunting beauty vibe, that gets to the hairs on the back of the neck, which Spiegel Im Spiegel, and Gorecki 3 both do.
