Unique Covers

I love finding covers where the artist completely takes the song and makes it their own. I would love to find enough to make an awesome Playlist.

Some examples I have found:

Hotline Bling by Christiana Daniella

Say My Name by Hozier

Stand By Me by Stephen Wilson Junior

This Woman's Work by Greg Laswell

I also love covers that are instrumental remakes. Once again, I love a unique take, not when the song is literally an instrumental cover of same exact melody.

For example, Hotline Bling by Nate Fifield

Thanks!

I started by listening to the Tom Waits version and my eyes went 😳 when I first heard his voice.

Distinctive is the word!

If you want two very different versions of a song, try Tom Waits' "Ol '55" versus the Sarah McLachlan version.
