Hurt is definitely a cover for me that's ten times better than the original...not that the original is a
bad
song, it's just...Cash brings a lot more gravitas to the song, makes it a little more solid than the NIN version...at least for
me
, it resonates more. It's just beautiful.
Trent Reznor said it wasn't his song anymore either, haha. That was really an awesome thing.
Whitney Houston's version of I Will Always Love You was ten times more popular than the original (Dolly Parton sang that one) ...although I personally didn't really enjoy either >u> But that was one that was way bigger.
what I love is thinking a song belongs to a certain artist and then learning it's actually a cover, and it ends up being like one of their most well known songs...
Like did you know Along the Watchtower ws a Bob Dylan song first? I DID NOT. I was like oh yea that's Jimi Hendrix's song all the way
I ah ...
I also like the Alien Ant Farm version of Smooth Criminal |D;;; [/brick'd]
