Music Monday

[potentiality_26]

I decided to try doing a music Monday, which I'm interpreting as making a post about music on a Monday.

Lately I've been thinking about live acoustic recordings of songs that, quite frankly, blow the studio versions out of the water. Such as:

Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen

Watch on YouTube

Anyone else have live or alternate versions of songs that they like better than the originals?

ETA: not sure why embedding isn't quite working for me, I feel like it used to. Any ideas? Fixed!

Looking at the code of your embeds vs. the Raye one I just posted, the style section for yours says: style="padding-top: 83.3333333333333% and mine says style="padding-top: 56.25%"

Maybe try swapping those out? Not sure otherwise. Looks fine. Do you have markdown checked on your entries maybe? Try changing that to casual html?

For songs I like alternate versions better:
The live version of "Meet Me At Our Spot" by Willow Smith and The Anxiety is 1000% better than the studio version. Someone needs to talk to her producers, because they BURY her voice.

This live version of "Walk on Boy" covered by Jim Byrnes is WAY better than the one on his album.

Yay, it's fixed!

"Meet Me at Our Spot" was very enjoyable. I don't know that song so there's a decent chance the studio version will never do it for me now lol. It's happened before.
