That's great. A real reinterpretation of the song. The rawness of his voice and the paring of the chorus' lyrics give the song a more bitter tone, narrowing the focus on the end of a relationship. The original--partly from Simon's voice and partly from the additional lyrics--has a more melancholy tone and goes beyond the pain of a dissolved relationship and seems to point to him looking for purpose and redemption.
