I came back to the song due to a video by Patty Gurdy that Malamute has posted above. Her second most popular video is another cover of Gary Moore's song. The covers are not bad, but to me, it's a manly song. I prefer the original, it's another level, much more power.
One of my favorite songs in school was Gary Moore's "Friday on my mind" (guess why). I didn't know that it's a cover since a year or so.
PS:
Great live performance of "Over The Hills" by Gary.
