Hello readers! Welcome to the newest subscribers, such a pleasure to have you join us here 👋👋
On Sundays, I pass the mic (keyboard?) over to you — let’s meet in the comments of this thread!
Inspired by a recent conversation with my Dad, what is a favourite cover of a song you have heard? Let us know, or even better, link it in the comments so we can all listen.
Is it a cover if a band covers themselves? Okay, to get the brilliance of this, you have to look at the original banger Smile and Wave by the Headstones
It's like they took a perfect song and made it perfect in an entirely different way. I love both versions so much my heart explodes. And it is a testament to their musicianship. Gaaaawd, I love them so much. (Plus, in the first video, you get to see a younger, be-maned Hugh Dillon play his semi-nihilistic maracas. 😁)
Florence and the Machine’s version of Take Care (by Drake). Also Kelly Clarkson’s version of Happier than ever
YES! I think I contributed to 80% of the YouTube views on that Florence cover... and I am going to revisit it right now.
The original song is by a group called ETC and the cover is by an artist called NuNew. The video is a scene of the character performing at a bar.
