Well, the short film it's in makes it a little better, but I still don't like this cover at all.

I came here to say, 'holy Coldplay remake!' but I guess that's exactly what it is. Damn. Thwarted. ;)

I LOOOVVEEE that video. My dad is an organic farmer, so it's kind of what he aims for farms to be like. As for the song, Willie Nelson can't sing, but the way the emotion is driven in the song is powerful, but that might just be the video.

But he sounds awful here. I don't know if he's singing this way on purpose, or if it's just because he's in his late 70s now, but he sounds like he's short of breath a few words into each line. Although in his defense, this is one of those songs where the original would be difficult to match no matter who covered it.
