Topic Change: Anyone feel like a warm autumn day is the absolute perfect weather?
I'm sorry, IRL I just had a very viscerally violent reaction. No, to put it politely. My actual location is texas, so cool autumn days are the best from my perspective.

Covers can be quite interesting in my opinion for emphasizing different things for different arrangements. My Heart Will Go On and Sound of Silence are two interesting case studies IMO.
With Sound of Silence the [original] wasn't initially as popular. But when [an electric guitar got added] it added extra spice to the song. The [Disturbed cover] then had a new spin on the song, slowing it down and adding a dramatic tone to it. And the [Gregorian Cover] is able to maintain the beat while adjusting the vocals to have a more melodic air. Then you have the [Pentatonix Cover] showing an acapella version with only human instrumentals.
With My Heart Will Go On Celine Dion's [original] has a lighter airy feel to it in some parts (such as the beginning) prior to her voice surging with power on the high notes. the [Gregorian cover] has its own interesting spin where instead of trying to match the higher notes Celine could reach, it leans into the power of a male choir with booming voices in the lower octaves. The [Vienna Boys' Choir cover] changes around the instrumentals to have a more upbeat tempo and has a nice way of using a choir that can both go more piano (softer) by reducing the number of voices and rising to a powerful forte (louder) by having the whole choir join in. And then the [Royal Scots Dragoon cover] offers a glimpse of how to make a lyrical song into an instrumental one, with bagpipes playing the role of carrying the main theme in the song.
There's a lot of great songs out there where the original and the covers are each musically awesome in their own ways.

Very true! I love some covers of songs, even more than the originals. I do very much like the Disturbed cover for Sound of Silence.

yes
Can we all agree that is at least (slightly) ironic that the thread for happiness got locked for negativity?
Quokkas are objectively the best animal, anyone who disagrees needs a psychiatric evaluation
I mean, yeah.

I suppose I should specify that to me, a warm Autumn day is like ~68 degrees and sunny.
It gets a little coolness in the breeze, but the it's warm enough that the sun keeps you feeling perfect.

A normal day in Autumn for me is around 90 degrees

Well that makes me think of May it Be.
So, the original Enya version and a cover are coming to mind.

Out of curiosity, do you tend to prefer songs with solo singers or multiple?
For me, it's kind of split 65/35 multi/solo I'd say.

Yes, basically the same thing for me. I love it when a solo singer has a great voice, but otherwise, multiple voices sound really cool, imo.
