Music, much like any other form of expression, allows for people to communicate an idea in many different ways.
You can have 20 songs focus on one concept (love, breakup, delinquency, violence, politics). Yet none of the songs are the same because of a change in lyric, a change in tempo or an added stress on a vowel.
If you take it a step further, one song can be sung by 20 people with each person contributing a style or mood that completely changes the nature of the song. For example, someone can take an upbeat song (like "Happy" by Pharrell) and sing it in a way that makes the listeners sad. At the same time, the song's quality is maintained. Other cover songs keep the mood of the original song while switching the genre. So a cover singer can take a rock song (like "Back in Black" by ACDC) and make it sound like a country song. This is the beauty of covers.
Here is a cover I enjoy. It is Katy Perry's "The One That Got Away" sung by ThatRandomIdea. Click the link to the cover and tell me what you guys think. What about this cover makes it different from the original? You can find the original at the end of the post. Enjoy!
