most of the songs on this playlist are similarly well known and associated with a particular artist. These creative covers (as opposed to a wedding band cover) are done knowing that we the listener probably know the original version |
There’s a difference between recording or performing a song not written by oneself and doing a cover version. Sia wrote Diamonds for Rhianna - which is not considered a cover version- but if I recorded a version of Diamonds it would be seen as me covering Rhianna. So |
and maybe even give it a new meaning. Dolly Parton does Stairway to Heaven! I become aware how close it is to a traditional English folk ballad |
