Cover This

This is a song I hated in high school.

Much later I heard a live recording and found a new appreciation for the song, the group, and their music.

I've heard a lot of covers. Matchbox 20's lead singer Rob Thomas defined a cover once, at a live show, as a song you wish you'd written yourself.

This is the first, very cool, spoken word cover I've heard. And it's pretty cool.

And when you're done with that...
