Who Did it Better? ‘There Is A Light That Never Goes Out’

Back with another edition of “Who Did it Better?” and this time I found three good covers of one of my favorite songs of all times The Smiths ‘There Is A Light That Never Goes Out’. First up the original:

Second a Anberlin cover:

Next up is Noel Gallagher (the genius behind Oasis):

Lastly a Nada Surf cover:

I happen to like all three covers, but I don’t think they stand up to the original, although I must admit there is something haunting about the Anberlin cover that comes close to the original.
