I love this, heard This Mortal Coil's version first when I was 16, made me cry. Tim Buckley's is rawer and more intense though. I love them both. Which do you prefer?

My funeral song? That'll get 'em blubbing, if anyone turns up that is.

    The first This Mortal Coil album is truly bleak.  Fucking incredible though & IMO one of the finest British 'Indie' albums of all time. 

    I really like this version as well, sublime guitar playing

    That Chemical Brothers track is a rare old racket.

    I would have said This Mortal Coil by far - it's one of the most beautifully bleak things ever recorded - but that Tim Buckley acoustic 12-string version is so much better than the familiar one (which I'm not really a fan of, I don't like the vocal) that it's a much closer call.

    Sinead O'Connor's is very good too.

    The TMC version is one of the finest pieces of music committed to tape, IMHO.
     It'll End In Tears was a hugely important album in my life, not least for introducing me to Big Star.
     Ivo Watts Russell is unfairly overlooked when people discuss the history of indie music.
    My wife asked me to stop singing Wonderwall.
    I said maybe.....
