Didn't know what song meant at first

Don't flame me for this but initially(haven't heard any other version), I thought the song "There She Goes" was about lesbiasm! Then I thought it was about a mother singing to her child but now I know the lyrics stand for something much more sinister,in heroin addiction.
But this version and the La's have ther own merits and are both worth listening to. November 26, 2004

WTF...

they r always branded by "christian band".
.
does that mean that they can sing?
this version of "there she goes" isn't as good as the original La's version, but give me a break
this is a cover; it doesnt need to be as good as the first one.
they were unknown before the song, kinda, they did like any local band would do; sing a cover.
but ppl thought that it was good enough , thats how america heard it. They followed the suit of covering great songs because they owe thier success to this
they are a really good band, only if they get a chance
your attitudes r not of a normal un-bias music listener.
but dont buy the single, buy an album; better value November 5, 2004

The worst cover i've heard.

The La's produced an absolute classic in 'There She Goes' but this is absolutely atrocious record. Whilst the original was played with a proper feeling and drive this is sung out of tune, poorly performed and really sounds awful. 'Kiss Me' is an awful record too. My advice, Buy the La's version but avoid this totally!! April 29, 2004

Disposable Cover Song

The first time I heard this I wanted to kick my TV screen in. Apparently, Sixpence think so highly of this song they're willing to sell it to the hucksters for commercial use. I'm with the LA's fans, get their version which is on a great album. I hope this trend doesn't get out of hand--mediocre bands selling cover versions of great songs to ad agencies. Thank goodness for the Neil Young's of the world who will never sell out. March 22, 2004

Nobody Understands....

The majority of reviewers on this board contend that this rubbish cover of The La's immortal single "There She Goes" (absolutely the best record of the past 15 years) is superior to the original, which is akin to saying that Oasis are a better pure pop band than The Beatles. Firstly, Sixpence None The Richer (a Christian band) don't seem to understand that Lee Mavers' classic, chiming tune is actually about heroin addiction! Secondly, the reviewers here who keep mumbling about this song's debt to The Velvet Underground don't understand that Mavers was far more talented than Lou Reed could ever hope to be (I abhor "...& Nico," easily the most overrated album of all-time). Simply, the fact that the Liverpudlian genius's signature tune has been turned into a MTV tween hit is an atrocity. October 4, 2003
