Compare and Contrast!

'The Limit to your Love' by Feist and the cover 'Limit to your Love' by James Blake are both fantastic in their own right.

The original, written by Leslie Feist (all round genius lyric writer and tune creator), is a slightly sweeter affair. It floats along like a paper boat on a stream but when you listen to the middle eight where she exclaims 'I can't read your smile/ It should be written on your face/ I'm piecing it together/there's something out of place' it's hard not to feel the pain and frustration of a love that she can not understand but can not give up...



James Blake's version is a much darker affair. This is someone who has been damaged and is now sitting in a darkened room feeling a little lost and sorry for themself...



I love the pumping beat of the James Blake version and it's haunting melancholy but I definitely miss the ommited lyrics from Feist's original.....

Ooooh it's sooo difficult to choose...
