But I much prefer the first half; a mildly up-tempo swing has little to do with the words of an exceptional song.
Agreed...it was a cutesy stomp all over a saaad, beautiful melody.

I'm all for doing your own thing, but this did not work.

And I do think the tune can work at faster tempos...but Rafferty's walking bass was stiff and uninspired...Didn't swing at all.

Lage's version is incredible...and he's improvising!
