Different people bring out different vibes in the covers their do. A voice can change so much in a song, just as much as changing the music up.
I really love the sound of one instrument and one good voice in a song. In a way you're detached from the production and cool hooks and you're left with the raw basics of the song. The melody and the lyrics.
Here are some covers I think are rad.
This first one is a song I've wanted to cover on my own for like, ever. Firstly, I don't have the balls to, and secondly I have to train my voice back to its former glory to even attempt it again. What's rad about this is what a surprise his voice is... well at least I think so.
Brendan Walsh covers The Early November - Ever So Sweet.
Sometimes you don't even need lyrics.
I present to you guitar prodigy, Sungha Jung. Lie on the floor/on your bed and pay this loud and just listen.
Sungha Jung covers Adele - Someone Like You
This band is just too rad. They've been at it since they were teenagers and have grown into dapper young men. The band is tight, their musical style is awesome and damn they can sing!
Our Last Night covers Katy Perry - Dark Horse
This one hits the heart strings. I found this a lovely treat from the lil' Kelly Buckerfield. When she tweeted the link I had no idea what to expect. Yoh, I was surprised.
I'm sure I speak for every man by saying that there's just something about a girl singing at a piano that does things to a guy.
Kelly Buckerfield covers Rihanna - Stay
This song gets me amped. I've been on a big swing, Motown vibe recently. When I heard The Coasters' version of this I must have listened to it about 20 times over. It's too groovy.
The Dark Horse cover by Our Last night has got to be my favourite covers! Listen to it at least once a week! Nice piece R!
