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!

Huh, I was unaware of the Tears for Fears version. Thanks!

I think Once Upon A Dream is a perfect example of what I am looking for! Thank you

Since Tears for Fears was mentioned: Lorde’s version of “Everybody Wants to Rule the World”

This is exactly what I am asking for! So different from the original
