I can't believe that this hasn't come up before, but aside from Rilo Kiley's Jenny Lewis, Fiona is my musical goddess. The angst, the power, the glory; nobody does it like Fi. She does no wrong.
Now, I'm not a huge Elvis Costello fan, so I wasn't familiar with the original version of this powerhouse ballad before hearing Fiona's take on it, but I know for a fact that his couldn't hold a candle. The raw emotion in her voice is astonishing. Visceral. I can say that this is definitely my all-time favorite cover, if not my favorite song.
I can't say any more that I love you. Everything else is a waste of breath.
