In many ways, listening to a cover song is akin to walking across a bridge. The listener starts on one side, confident and safe enough with the original version to journey towards a new artist. As the cover starts, the listener begins to traverse the arch, stopping at familiar points (a melody here, a chorus there) to marvel or retch at how the architect rendered an old track fresh and unique. At the other end of the bridge, the cover artist stands anxiously; ready to administer more oral acupuncture if desired. Enjoy these links between the collectively known and the newfangled, esoteric, or just different.
