Since those didn't work for you, let's try again.
I haven't heard this in several years! It's so good and bring back some great memories!
A great Buddy Holly cover! I've never heard of The Raveonettes before. I'll have to explore them and see what more they have done.
This is one of my favorite songs, and I love what Trent Reznor said about the cover:
They are Danish (like you?) 50's/60s's stlye and their music is usually a bit more upbeat - definitely check them outA great Buddy Holly cover! I've never heard of The Raveonettes before. I'll have to explore them and see what more they have done.

I love Johnny Cash and I love NIN. So, I'm sure this is a very unpopular opinion among fans, but I've never liked Johnny's version of this song. I wish I did. I appreciate the art behind his rendition and the video but listening to it is like nails on a chalkboard for me. :-(
Lol, you are allowed to not like a song! I love it when an artist covers a song in such a way that it is almost entirely new.

Oh, I totally agree! I love when a covering artist can make a song their own. Which is why I really wanted to like the Cash version of Hurt, but it hurts my ears (pun intended) to listen to itLol, you are allowed to not like a song!

A good example would be Jeff Buckley & Rufus Wainright's covers of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah". To me, Buckley's is a soul wrenching ode to heartbreak, while Wainright's is an almost reverent hymn about how love/sex can be a religious experience. And yet, both are so different from the original as to be almost unrecognizable (were it not for the sacred chords, the 4th, the 5th, the minor fall & major lift...
A not so great example is Sheryl Crow (love her!) Cover of Guns 'n Roses (love them more!) "Sweet Child O'Mine". It isn't much changed from the original, and it just lacks that something that would make it hers. It has no teeth!
I hear you. For me it depends on the song. There are some songs where I love the original so much, I prefer something I see as a tribute to it, like the Killer's version of Romeo and Juliet. It's almost like they were saying "Hey, don't forget about this masterpiece from 20 years ago."Lol, you are allowed to not like a song!

I love First Aid Kit...
Me too I deleted it for silly late night reasons and saving for last day xx
Admit it, you saw the gif and imagined me in the cat suit with a whip… irresistible
I got a 45 on record store day a few years ago that had both versions. One on each side. Aretha really made the song hers!
Great show.
The woman in that band is half Chinese and half danish. Soooooooo hot. Sharin Foo. Very exotic.A great Buddy Holly cover! I've never heard of The Raveonettes before. I'll have to explore them and see what more they have done.
