In the original, Kylie confronted a lover with an ultimatum, and the resolution was left completely up in the air-- happiness or heartbreak. In this cover, José González just sounds really, really earnest; he presumes heartache on the first note. To his credit Gonzalez isn't merely slowing down a fast song. He really seems to buy into the anguish of the lyrics, translating those stodgy '89 beats to his guitar with surprising syncopated fluidity. And the odd effects halfway through, which might be screeching birds in an aviary, only up the eerie intimacy. Still, the cover sounds like it's missing something essential in the original; I think it might be Kylie."
