Re: What Are You Listening To Right Now?

 

I recently bought Hallelujah from Jeff Buckley on iTunes. It was covered on the original Shreck Soundtrack and I liked it. When I heard his version I needed to have it.

 

I love that song, especially when Buckley sings it. The original was recorded by Leonard Cohen. He wrote the damn thing, but his singing is really off-putting to me. He wrote some great songs, I just think he should let other people do the singing.

 

In the same vein, he wrote "Everybody Knows", but Concrete Blonde really made that song memorable.

 

I'm listening to Norah Jones' new album now.

Is that a cover of the Velvet Underground song?

 

Yep. Icehouse released an album a few years ago, Heroes, that's all covers, but they do them very differently stylistically from the originals. It's all music that influenced Icehouse's lead singer, Iva Davies.

 

I like it a lot, but then, I've been an Icehouse fan since the 1980s.

Well, the basic tune and style is clear and clean, it's got a strong, dramatic melodic line, and the lyrics are both appealing and tell a story. Add that to very good production values and an excellent singer - there's just nothing not to like in this song.

 

Plus, I just enjoy listening to it.

 

However, I'm currently listening to Behind Blue Eyes by Limp Bizkit.
