Once in a great while, a cover song doesn’t just echo the original — it bends the light, reshaping it into something equally beautiful. That’s why I’ve collected three renditions of Hallelujah, Leonard Cohen’s immortal hymn — and two versions each of a half-dozen other songs. Today, I’ve shared a sparse but soothing rendition of Fade Into You, first written and recorded by Mazzy Star.
This song drifts and lulls. It
lingers in the more thoughtful corners of my mind.
Take a moment. Let this song haunt
you.

I love the slide guitar. I really like the timber of her voice. I don’t know if it’s my old ears or she really mumbles the words, but I can’t understand almost anything she says.
ReplyDeleteThe words are a bit hard to catch. Surprisingly, this versions is much easier to understand than the original.
