Sixpence version equal or better than La's original version

"This Sixpence None The Richer version of The La's song is one of the few instances where a cover version at least equals and I would say in this case slightly improves upon the original.Although the arrangement seems close to The La's, I think having a female vocal adds to the Sixpence version. (And, the earlier reviewer who says The La's version is not the original is mistaken. I think they are referring to a Velvet Underground song, Femme Fatale, which I believe begins with the words, " There she goes..." Anyway, The main guy in The La's is the songwriter and he probably wasn't even born yet when the VU recorded their song. So we have two great songs that contain the words, "there she goes")."
More touching than the original

"I've heard The La's in 1990, and I liked their version a lot, but this girl sings like a little cute she-mouse, and I cannot help falling in love with her and with this song... It is brilliantly reduced to the accoustic melody and meaningful emptiness... Really touching and tender... Pop in the best meaning of the word."
Great song to cover

"Cover song from the La's, one of my favorite CD's of the early 90's. Glad to know someone else listened to it."
Great cover of The La's classic.

"Neat song. Cool band. Only available on the single or on the Austrailian import of the self-titled album."
Great cover of a classic La's song

"The La's version of this song was one of my favorite early 90s songs and this version is almost as good."
