They have a female lead singer, and she sounds a little bit like vocalists for the Sundays or Sixpence None the Richer. In fact, either of those bands could be the ones I’m thinking of. This song has been used in movie trailers recently, too. Any guesses?

And what are you opinions on how good this cover is? IMHO, it’s as good or better than the original, which was pretty good itself.

You’re right - it is Sixpence.

Good cover.
