Autoaudiography keeps trucking along! Hope you guys are enjoying it as much as I am. (I need an Autoaudiography icon!) Slightly late this week as the Cold That Would Not Die showed up for a last hurrah.
This week, the theme is Covers. You know what a cover is: they didn’t write the song but they rocked the hell out of it, often completely changing the feel of the song in the process. Post your favorites in the comments and look through everyone else’s posts for new favorites. As always, please keep the links free and legal.
My new favorite cover is this Brandi Carlisle reimagining of Bryan Adams’ cheesefest song Heaven from the time known as the late 80s. I heard it during the finale of Friday Night Lights and downloaded it immediately. It is fantastic!
Let’s hear yours…
“The Last Beat of My Heart” by DeVotchKa (cover of Siouxsie and the Banshees) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qv3w3_UmVE
I honestly had to pull my car over to the side of the road the first time I heard this, it was so amazing.
My favorite cover will always be “Hurt” by Johnny Cash. He completely made that song his and made me forget it was never not his. I also dig the Foo Fighters cover of “Darling Nicky” even though Prince through a fit that it was covered.
Wow, I like Brandi Carlisle’s version much better!
I’m not a fan of Metallica, but cellos make everything better: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQrVrUbFKsc
I adore Prince…
