Great song...originally by Big Star, written by Alex Chilton. YLT knows how to take a great song and improve on it -- the rare mark of a truly excellent band.
As much as I love YLT's other covers ("Here Comes My Baby" is a huge improvement, IMO), Big Star's version is near perfect. YLT stripped this song down a bit too much. They almost sound like Velvet Underground with Nico on this one. Not a bad thing, but Alex Chilton emotes so well on Big Star's version. A truly underrated farewell song.
