Title: Ed Harcourt's cover of "Still I Dream of It" Post by: Joel5001 on February 19, 2006, 08:27:38 PM I just heard this today for the first time. A nice version of one of Brian's best songs.

The string arrangement's a bit lesser too, though the conclusion is very strong and original in compensation (if a little overextended.)

It really drags a bit at the end with the extended instrumental section.
