Why do we like this?

Wow, James Vincent McMorrow has completely transformed Steve Winwood's "Higher Love," a track originally released in 1986.  In case you're curious to hear what the original sounded like, you can check it out here on YouTube.

James basically strips the track of all its 80s glory, morphing the vocals into a haunting melody that gently lays over simple piano work.  It appears that no matter which way you try approach it, everything Mr. McMorrow touches turns to gold. Don't believe me? Try listening to this insanely awesome, but mellow dubstep remix.
