Top 50 Tori covers
May. 1st, 2015 02:15 pmI'm going to try to make a list to submit to the Tori Covers group this year. I've never done it before and there are soooo many covers out there! She does most of them live, so it's hard to know what all she's covered. I found a list online (obviously, you can find ANYTHING online) and I'm going through it to see what I know and then looking up/listening to what I don't. It's hard because some of the recordings are really poor quality and/or the audience is so loud I can't hear her. :/
But I'm pretty sure my number one favorite cover she does is Famous Blue Raincoat. I've heard the original (Leonard Cohen) version and I prefer hers. Hers has so much more emotion in my opinion.
Also up there is her cover of Enjoy the Silence. I love Depeche Mode. I wish they would do some kind of duet/collaboration. That would be awesome.
I also love Somewhere Over the Rainbow and Landslide. So that's four! 46 to go!
Listening to Candle in the Wind now and it's pretty.
Ooo, Daniel is pretty too!
I'm torn on whether to include '97 Bonnie and Clyde. It's very creeptastic. I really can't even listen to it. When I saw her in concert promoting the album it's on (Strange Little Girls), she opened with it. It was very haunting. She played it from offstage/behind the curtain. Seriously getting goosebumps now from remembering it. But that's what she was trying to do, she was trying to convey the song from the wife/mother's prospective. It's *supposed* to be creepy. But can I really include a song I can't even listen to? Hm. Maybe it can be number 50.
Listening to these makes me miss seeing her live. I love her stories.
I forgot A Case of You! I love that cover too.
I've got almost ten! They're not in order yet, but the deadline is in June, so I think I'm ok. :)
Hahaha, listening to I Ran now.
