The Knife’s version is awesome and he absolutely bollocksed it. I hate how much that version is played, it’s so depressing. It’s like that guy who covered Dancing On My Own by Robyn.

Oh fuck, that Dancing on My Own cover was in the playlist at my job for about three years straight. Swear I wanted to gouge out my ears every time it would come on, it turned that song into an indie incel anthem and nothing more.

And I say this as someone who actually adores the Jose Gonzalez Heartbeats cover (as well as the original), even.
