Nice one, a George cover! I wasn't familiar with this band, from the 90s right? They do some cool versions, and there is a R.E.M. influence for sure.

Yeah they're from the 90s... I dig their minimalist honest sound and yeah I'm sure R.E.M. was an influence.

The singer went on to be in Luna which became pretty well known. I had been listening to this for like a year before I connected the dots that it was a George cover.

This is a George Harrison cover from his boss album All Things Must Pass

Isn't it a pity
Isn't it a shame
How we break each other's hearts
And cause each other pain
How we take each other's love
Without thinking anymore
Forgetting to give back
Now, isn't it a pity

Some things take so long
But how do I explain
When not too many people
Can see we're all the same
And because of all their tears
Your eyes can't hope to see
The beauty that surrounds them
Now, isn't it a pity

Isn't it a pity, (oh-o)
Now, isn't is a shame
How we break each other's hearts
And cause each other pain
How we take each other's love
Without thinking anymore
Forgetting to give back
Now, isn't it a pity
