I heard this cover from a mixtape that was compiled by Chris Chu of The Morning Benders. You can find it on Saymayday[dot]com. It’s a wonderful little mixtape itself, but this song is something else. The fact that the song is an oldie instantly makes it a classic, and with the heartfelt sound that The Walkmen add to it really make you get into the song. This is the true sound of a broken heart.
