Someone mentioned Hey, that's no way to say goodbye. I love the covers by Lianne LaHavas and the Great Lake Swimmers, but I didn't know Feist had done one. Thank you!!

I am the one who suggested the Feist cover. I love the Great Lake Swimmers, and I did not realize they covered the song, too.

I am a Montrealer and miss my city so much.
