Thanks for posting this. Hmmm... I have to say, I'm not wildly impressed. It sounds like a generalised orchestral wash has been laid over it. Christine's piano was much more specific and appropriate.

OMG that was dreadful. I already have never cared for that song and now this.

Well, it’s a bit much—the understated piano made fine accompaniment to her plaintive vocal. Here, the strings threaten to overwhelm everything.

The arrangement makes about as much sense as the album cover.

But maybe we are all like that radio announcer who couldn't make sense of GYOW the first time he heard it. Maybe the hidden magic of this arrangement will reveal itself to us in time.
