Cover Charge #18: Vampire Weekend to Andrea Bocelli (yes, really)

Cover Charge is simple: A covers B, B covers C, C covers D and so on, until I loop back to where I started, Ouroboros-style.

Last time: Peter Gabriel to Vampire Weekend

I like it when a cover is unexpected, and today's certainly surprised me. From the 2014 compilation album Sweetheart, here's Vampire Weekend's take on Time to Say Goodbye...

...which of course is better known by the original Italian title of Con Te Partirò, made famous by Andrea Bocelli. Now there's a left turn for this blog that no-one saw coming, right?

Next time: Bocelli has recorded many reinterpretations, praise the lord!

The Cover Charge "chain" to date.
