I usually expect a cover to sound different from the original song, but let's face it: "Road to Nowhere" is one of those perfect songs that couldn't be bettered. So when I saw that someone I consider as one of those rare geniuses of songwriting dared to cover it, knowing his huge talent for crafting and arranging his own material, I secretly hoped he would sing it as it's meant to be and it's just PER-FECT! Neil Hannon, for me, is still too much "ignored" outside of Europe and it's really unfair. He's one of my heroes.

Neil Hannity would be the first to acknowledge the many brilliant arrangements of his songs by Keyboardist Joby Talbot. National Express in my opinion is his best song and Talbot’s best arrangement.

I'm a huge Talking Heads fan, so I began by watching this through my fingers. But it soon became clear that Neil and the lads knew what they were doing. I really enjoyed this!

Neil's current version of The Divine Comedy has to have some of the best backing vocal musicians of any band out there. It really shines through in the acapella section at the start, and how well they sing it live.
