Right, this week for my favourite covers, I'm going to pick some that I've been listening to and loving for years.
1) Regina Spektor's beautiful cover of the classic Chelsea Hotel #2 originally by Leonard Cohen. I've always loved this song, but Regina brings a whole new dimension to the song. I really love this cover.
2) Nerina Pallot's cover of 'Frank Mills' from the musical Hair. I hadn't heard this song before I saw Nerina sing it live, but it really is beautiful. In my opinion this is one of the only songs in existance that works despite the fact that it doesn't rhyme. A stunning cover. Unfortuately I could only find one clip of this, and it's sandwiched between two other songs, but it's still definitely worth a listen.
3) Emiliana Torrini's breathtakingly beautiful cover of 'I Hope That I Don't Fall in Love With You', originally by Tom Waits has been one of my favourite songs for a number of years now. This is definitely worth a listen, especially if you haven't heard Emiliana's music before. Such a great cover, check it out!!
