One of my favorite websites to waste time on (and get free music) is CoverMeSongs.com. Artists can't sell these songs without giving royalties to the original artists, so we get them for free! I started collecting covers I came across and I have enough for a post. Cover songs often don't live up to the originals. These do... and maybe surpass them.
Birdy - Skinny Love (Bon Iver cover)
Dred Scott - Purple Rain (Prince cover)
Bon Iver - Your Love (The Outfield cover)
Ellie Goulding - Heartbeats (The Knife cover)
Matthew Mayfield - Fix You (Coldplay cover)
Jodi King - Street Lights (Kanye West cover)
The Avett Brothers - The Prettiest Thing (David Childers cover)
Have a cover you like? Let me know.
Ellie Goulding...love love love love! Thanks for sharing! And the Matthew Mayfield cover of Fix You almost brought me to tears. Wow. LOVE.
ReplyDeleteDelta Rae's cover of "Secret Song" by Alanis Morissette
ReplyDeleteYeah, Caroline. I really like that one, too. I had the Jagged Little Pill cassette tape (ah yeah, those were the days), but I don't think it had that song. So I heard Delta Rae's version first, but I still agree with you.
