Better than the originals (59)

So do I and I'm a big fan of the Beatles. This is the only Beatles cover that I like better than the original.

'You've lost that lovin' feeling'

Not sure that is shared, but it was 'of the moment' for me.

Friendship is like pishing your pants, everyone can see it, but only you can feel the true warmth.'

No just no, the Reznor original sums up the meaning to the song so much better. It's supposed to be a slow song reflecting the pain that it's about. Johnny Cash' version is twice as fast and doesn't have the soul that is in the original. The haunting musical arrangement of the NIN original helps to take you to the place he was in when the song was written.

Not sure if anyone saw Christy Moore at Glastonbury this year but his final encore was a cover of Jackson Browne's "Before the Deluge" that just made me cry.

This. Especially the slightly discordant arpeggios.

While we're on the subject of NIN, someone mentioned Dead Souls. I really enjoyed it when I first heard it on the Crow soundtrack, but I was always a little confused as to why it was billed as NIN because when I checked the notes, every instrument was played by Trent (the disgustingly talented bastard).

Because Trent Reznor is Nine Inch Nails, he only has other musicians when playing live as he cant play everything on his own then.
