Cover song of the day, R&P...?
Good evening R&P :)
By now we are all familiar with 'song of the day', so I thought we'd try 'cover song of the day'.
I'm sure many of you know the wonderful, beautiful song 'Kiss from a Rose' by Seal...
Well, this is a lovely acoustic cover of it, by Scottish singer / songwriter Sandi Thom.

Your thoughts...?
Remember, if you can't say anything nice...!
Oh, and the video is mine ~ I could picture it as soon as I heard the song :)

I'd never have guessed you were a Sandi Thom fan!
She's done two other exclusive covers: 'It Must Be Love' and 'Bleeding Love' {which is *so* much better than Leona Lewis}.
Good evening Tesla :)
All we need now is Sookie and Mike, and it'll be just like the old days!

You're welcome :)
She's done some other lovely covers {usually put out as b-sides}, such as 'Bleeding Love' {in the 2nd link}, 'No More Heroes', 'It Must Be Love', 'Don't Think Twice' and 'May You Never'...

Hi Silver!
What an interesting choice; for one, I think it's a great song, and, two, it's a wonderfully-interpreted cover by Sandi Thom. I've never heard of her before - leave it to another R&P regular to introduce my ears to a new artist. Domo arigato gozaimashita, Silver-san. (That is to say, thank you very much, Silver!)
Sandi just recreates this from the ground up; it has such a different quality of energy, character and tone from Seal's version. Striking. The video images were pretty cool, too. : )

Ooh, nice! I like Sandi Thom. I have not heard the original, but I'll check it out later. Thanks for the link.
Edit:
Haha really? Usually people think that her type of music is right up my alley. XD Ok I just listened to the original and as much as I prefer female vocals, I like the guy's voice better in this song! I'm shocked, haha. But I like the music of the cover better.
Eeurgh, I still haven't heard Bleeding Heart yet lol. Maybe I'll listen to that cover first, since Leona Lewis is blegh.

Ummmm... it's ok, i'm not a fan of the vocals. though instrumental-wise, it's better than the original.
EDIT:
Is there a metal cover of that song? I really love the song when I was a kid.
Here's my cover song of the day:

oh sorry for this vid... just listen to the song if you want to, but don't watch!

Very nice Silver, I liked it
I doubt We'll be getting any visits from Sookie and Mike, or Rckets and Spooky, more's the pity too. But You never know
I have seen a lot of My missing Pals up in here today! Hi again TG!

Good afternoon, Silver! I came on here earlier this morning and didn't see any of you guys. I thought maybe you all left too.. I was disappointed. I'm happy to see many of the regulars here again :)
Cover song of the day... hmm... how about..
"Walking in the Sand" - Aerosmith. I've always liked that song. Then again, what Aerosmith cover song is there not to like?
- Master CLv 61 decade ago
Hey Silver! Hows everything?
I like the song, but it's a catchy song in general. I don't think anyone could do a terrible version of it. This one you posted, surprisingly, has a country western feel to it. Its sort of surprising...LOL

amazing cover!
but i have to say my favorite cover of all time is System Of A Down's cover of Pink Floyd's Goodbye Blue Sky. such an amazing song!
- Anonymous1 decade ago
That was really good. I'm not crazy about Seal but that was a great song and this a really good cover.
- Anonymous1 decade ago
I didn't like that song before, and was hoping this would give me a new perspective on it, but for some reason that song just rubs nme the wrong way I guess.
nice video though.
- JemLv 61 decade ago
I was only able to listen to the first few seconds but from what I heard it was noteworthy. I have really never cared for that song :(
