Neil Finn covers The Smiths

Posted about 4 years ago
I've always loved everything Neil Finn. I love this cover of "There is a Light That Never Goes Out". I feel Neil sings it his own way on this tune. Notice how he screws the chorus up a bit with some flipped lyrics, but it doesn't bother me too much. It's also no secret that Johnny Marr frequents the stage with Neil on his tours and also in the studio as the two of them have remained great friends through the years. I promised myself I would see him live one day. Let's hope that happens!
