Just what it says.

Can we do someone's version of a traditional? If so, I LOVE Sinead O'Connor's version of one of my favorite songs, Oró, Sé Do Bheatha 'Bhaile

And I love Lou Reed, but really into this version of Pale Blue Eyes by The Kills.

I Still Believe. The original came out the year before and isn't ALL that different, but I heard this one first and it's one of the very rare times I feel a sax adds so much.
