One of those songs I thought would be impossible to cover, but Lianne La Havas did it PERFECTLY, AND totally shifted the genres. Give this a listen, I think it’s one of the best covers of all time, full stop.
started rebuilding my cd collection from scratch last year and i love getting to hold my favorite albums in my hands. reading the lyrics from the fold feels like reading the writer’s journal. in a time when everything feels disposable, it’s nice to feel like the songs that shape you get a place in your home too.
one of my favorite hobbies is listening to music and writing reviews in my journal. this year i’m going through rolling stones top 500 songs of all time and keeping a playlist of the ones i feel are truly five stars. my ranking system is fully instinctive. there‘s some weight to it, but it’s mostly based on feeling.
my birthday month!! the april showers make for amazing naps, it finally gets warmer but not too warm. the flowers are blooming! tulips, daffodils, azaleas, i even love the dandelions. everyone comes out of hibernation and has a new lust for life after being cooped up in the house all winter. all the great fruits start making a comeback: strawberries, mango, oranges. AND THE CLOTHES!! warm enough for short sleeves but you can still layer a cute jacket. i also feel like that’s when new music releases start back up. all around, just a fantastic time.
