Yup.

The chorus is incredible. James' voice, the harmonies, the skyscraping falsetto. The whole thing is just perfect. Also, people love it. Play it to anyone, any normie on the street and they will dig it, guaranteed. Also, Hold Me Like A Heaven, a magnificent song, is very much informed by this cover. They recorded it about a year later, it has a similar astral chorus, similar 80s sound, and also features the word Heaven. Even the key might be the same...

Raindrops is nr 2 for me. Always liked Take The Skinheads Bowling too.
Yeah, I love Feels Like Heaven too.

Which *version* of the Take The Skinheads Bowling cover do you/everyone prefer?

I would really like them to do studio covers of Bright Eyes and Sweet Child O’ Mine at some point.
