So I’ve gotten into the habit of checking Youtube every time I hear a new song. Most of the time its because I want to see the music video, or maybe because I’m too cheap to download it so I listen for free, but recently I have checking out the covers that peopl upload. There are actually a lot of really talented people out there putting stuff on Youtube (not sure if you’ve heard of “Straight No Shooter” who just got a record deal and started out on Youtube).
One of the songs that I’ve been listening to recently is The Weepies – Nobody Knows Me At All. It’s a really good song. I like it a long, and while the original version is awesome, I find myself strangely loving this version too.
There is just something about that girls voice that I find very appealing. It just sounds very pure.
This is another one. Its a cover of Damian Rice – 9 Crimes. I really like this one. Maybe because it sounds just a little but more upbeat than the original but still is very deep.
I have a slight obsession with Audra Mae – Forever Young. I heard it on “Sons of Anarchy” (which is an awesome show). You can hear it on her myspace page. The accapela version is the best.
