Very nice cover - and very courageous, given the richness of the original version. I just want to break out Sakamoto's lush orchestral arrangement and put it behind this, but that would defeat what you achieved here - which is one of the best covers of 'Orpheus' I've heard.
A very nice take on Sylvian's brilliant original. It has a sweet fragility to it... but does lack an emotional depth that only Sylvian could deliver. 🍁🍁
You're welcome. A couple years back, he did a cover of Gentleman Take Polaroids. Not too memorable, but nice to listen through. Duncan does do a fantastic cover of Nick Drake's The River Man.
Okay. Here's what it is. This is an artist (Duncan) that takes on another artist's song and makes it a point to interpret it through his own lens and true to his own sound and style. Many covers are a big so what, why bother. But, not Duncan's. His always justify the re-recording. And, we are all better for it. I would assert that every artist Duncan has covered is gladdened that he did so and touched on a deep level by the final piece. As they should be. If Nick Drake were still with us, he'd be buying Duncan's recordings of his (Nick's) songs. And tickets to the live performances as well. I'm sure of it.
One of the best songs ever sung by Duncan sheik; love this man
A very Nick Drake version of a David Sylvian classic,, fantastic.
A slightly different interpretation of the emotional content to Sylvian, but equally valid and it sounds very heartfelt. I like it.

Most beautiful song ever
By far the best cover version of a Sylvian song.
A very nice take on Sylvian's brilliant original.
It has a sweet fragility to it... but does lack an
emotional depth that only Sylvian could deliver.
