I strongly endorse First Aid Kit doing a complete cover of the El Loco album.  I want to hear them cover Party On The Patio and Tube Snake Boogie.  Would they do that album justice?  I wonder.

Indeed , very nice cover of the Kate Bush song, time to accept new versions.

This isn't a bad cover, but it's what my wife would call "unnecessary".
Posted 3 years ago by geocrackr    [ Reply ]
Wow, I’ve heard versions of this song a lot lately, or just other Kate Bush songs. What is the deeper meaning? Or is everyone just watching season 4 of Stranger Things.

Perfect segue, Bill! (P.S. not crazy about the song. Irrevelant, anyway).

Oops, that doesn't sound like ZZ Top at all?! Sorry, I first saw the photo on the record cover.... Please don't misunderstand, but Scandinavian bands are unfortunately underestimated. So 8 points,  a successful arrangement needs no  long beards.

I love Kate Bush but have never been fan of covers, anyway it is a beautiful song. 
Posted 4 years ago by jar.sapo    [ Reply ]
A song this personal and intimate shouldn't ever be done in duet form.  Harmonizing is fine, but not both girls belting out the lyrics together.  Not all songs are meant for duets.  I'm gonna have to give this a pass.

Sooo many great covers in the world of music. My long-term favourite is Santana's cover of Fleetwood Mac's Black Magic Woman. A classic from a classic - awesome .... btw - Hi everybody! after the best part of 20 years listening to RP this is my first post

Wow look at that ratings spread... a pretty large fraction down near the bottom and some near the very top... even a few 10s.

I like it more than the origininal. Breathes new blood in it. That song deserves not to be forgotten

Hell of a song to try and cover but this works brilliantly. Completely love this version.
Posted 4 years ago by tinypriest    [ Reply ]
I adore First Aid Kit and really like their covers...the Leonard Cohen stuff is great.  This, however, leaves me wanting.  They just don't seem to grab the gravity of one of Kate's masterpieces.  If I was editing this particular film, I'd leave this scene on the cutting room floor.  Doesn't add to the story...

Truly egregious. “Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should”, as Bill Clinton famously said.

For some strange reason, every time I see that album cover I think of ZZ Top.

Not bad, but it lacks the passion and angst of the original.

I love this song, and this cover is so felt.. for me is special and givess this song a spell to continue the magic,  and there's no comparison with the original by great Kate. it's intensity that renders... <3

I don't normally agree with negative comments on RP but sadly I have to agree with this one. Kate's original is outstanding, one of her best. And First Aid Kit do some lovely songs too. But their voices don't suit this song at all.

I would add Little Feat's version of  Dylan's Takes a lot to laugh.. , Devo's Satisfaction and Sinead's Downpressor Man

As an avid Kate Bush fan, I wish we'd hear more remakes of the stuff that (for superfans) are really terrific but never had a foothold on USA charts like this song did. Songs like Breathing, Army Dreamers.... super good songs. Try making those popular for the 2020s, indie musicians! 



I always feel if you are going to do a cover then make it yours; Devo's Satisfaction is a good example This is just a copy of Kate's version which will never be surpassed. Waste of time.

Cover songs are inspired when they take a distinctly different sonic approach to the original, transforming into something different - in contrast to the song’s original concept, which may have been clearly articulated by its writer and felt by the listener. Such transformation is not easy to do.

Great covers do not simply sing the words and play the music in roughly the same spirit. Yes, the cover vocals and music are inherently different from the original (they are, after all, different singers and musicians), but the differences can and should be more than this. Otherwise the cover cannot stand on its own creative merit and could rightly be described as mimicry.

Examples of great covers:
Pretty Woman - Van Halen (original by Roy Orbison)
Ziggy Stardust - Bauhaus (original by David Bowie)
China Girl - David Bowie (original by Iggy Pop)

First Aid Kit does not stand up to repeated listening. They start to sound thinner and thinner until they just sort of ....................fade away
