I haven’t done one of these in a while. This bluegrassy cover of I believe in a thing called love is really quite lovely.
Awesome Covers: And She Was
When I was a teenager, I didn’t really get the Talking Heads. They were weird, and not very musical (I thought at the time). As I get older though, I find I enjoy the talking heads more and more. And She Was is one of my favourites. I really dig this cover of And She Was by Twin Forks.
Awesome Covers: Voices Carry
One of my favourite covers of Til Tuesday’s Voices Carry is by Rayna. The lyrics of the original have a dark sadness, and this simple version, using just piano and voice really brings them out.
Awesome Covers: Thunderstruck
A bluegrass cover of AC/DC’s Thunderstruck? Yes please! Steve’n’Seagulls gives you the classic song in a way you’ve never heard before (unless you’ve already heard this version).
Awesome Covers: Down
Kevin “K.O.” Olusola was (is?) a member of the acapella group Pentatonix. But he’s also an incredible cellist and beatboxer, often doing both. Like this this cover of Marian Hill’s “Down”.
