Offline This is like, almost my favourite song. Ever. Actually, I can't think of a song I love more. The lyrics are awesome, the tune is great, I honestly can't listen to it enough.

Offline I prefer the Good Evening version better than the original, maybe because that was the first version I listened. Or maybe because Paul voice is quite emotional.
I'm a bit ashamed to say I had to go to youtube to check some songs in Up and Coming's play list because I didn't remember them. And he didn't play that one in Mexico.

Offline I haven't actually heard the non Good Evening New York City version, so I'm not sure which is better. Does it sound much different?

Well no.. and yes. The original one is more…. intimate. Check it by yourself.
