Heartbeats
I first heard this song in the Sony commercial with all of the bouncy balls. When I finally heard the original, it took me a while to remember where I had heard the song before, and when I did I assumed that the original was the cover! The original has some really great sounds, and this is a really close one for me.

Comments about Heartbeats:
You can tell what you want, but for a cover Gonzalez did a creat job!! It's like Tunng covering Bloc Party's "Pioneers", Making a happy, positive and loud something into something so tender. Just stripping the song apart bit by bit, till there's only the basics left. I really love the original from the knive, and knew it already before Jose covered it. But Jose (and Tunng also) can do it. They didn't "just cover a song", they took something that wasn't theirs and made it a little more like them. I think that's also a gift :) btw Jose Gonzalez live was a-ma-zing!

I have to say that i first disliked the Knife, but i was obliged to listen it at my job while i was sortering post. Both versions reminds me a period of my life so i like both of them. Maybe a little plus for jose's version which is so good to hear during those resting moments.

I think Jose's version is cosier. He gets my vote!

I agree that The Knife is damn good (I love Silent Shout) but I have to say that the Jose Gonzalez version is good too. I'm voting for them both.

The Knife version is so much better. Karin's voice is absolutely brilliant. Been one of my absolute favorites since 2003.

VOTE FOR THE KNIFE!!
both versions are amazing, but there's absolutely no beating The Knife. Every single song of theirs is so well crafted
