truth.

There is so much from him that I love... but sometimes he seems to phone it in.

disappointing from JJ - weak lyrics
 
agree as to the lyrics but his guitar is still magical. It's disppointing there isn't more of it on this track. Overall, a woebegone effort.

I'm a big fan of JJ, but with some of his albums I think he either got lazy or just banged out stuff to fulfill a contract. This is a lazy effort.

Didn't Moby cover this, or sample it? If he didn't he should.

This sounds remarkably like "Bridge to Nowhere" by Sam Roberts (also heard here before). Something tells me this guy was around first.

Because of the painfully obvious canned drums. Are the horns canned too? Sounds like it. That piano is definitely of the ersatz variety as well. Blech.
Yeah, it sounds like every bit of sound in that studio (minus the voice) is coming from a Casio keyboard. Ugh. 1.

I'm a huge JJ-fan, but this is VERY minor stuff

totally disagree - I have yet to hear a cohen cover that even attempts the irony that is so essential to almost all of his tunes, much less pulls if off

I just bought this CD and though most of the music is pretty good I'm a little disappointed in the production. It seems JJ's vocals are often overwhelmed by the instruments. That's not the case in this song however.
