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: Vampire Weekend to Andrea Bocelli
How to veer back into familiar musical territory, after last time's thematic diversion into Bocelli-land? Well, that might sound challenging but is actually easy, firstly because Andrea has covered lots of songs, and secondly because he has offered up an interpretation of what must be one of the most covered songs of all time. In short, here is Andrea Bocelli's version of Hallelujah, from his 2020 album Believe.
Although there are more covers of this than even the most branch-endowed man could shake a stick at, it's hard to imagine many hold a candle to Leonard Cohen's original.
Next time: Leonard discovers the junglist massive. Maybe.
No one has improved on Leonard's original.
ReplyDeleteCan't argue with that.
