Displaying all reviews (1)The arrangement is stays true to the original song. The music is straight forward with some nuanced differences between verses within the song to keep it fresh. Only negative is that the bass is too heavy. Still the final product sounds beautiful and will be a delight to any Magnetic Fields fan.
