I say a lot that the cover song is assemblage, interpolation. It’s an aural communion between the living and the dead, or the living and the living, or the living and the dead and the dead. The cover song is, at its best, resurrection and reinvention. I’ve made you a playlist. I must confess at least one of the tracks included is a sample (I just couldn’t resist… the moment I realized “Gone Baby, Don’t Be Long” sampled “Arrow Through Me” in my kitchen was such a delight, spoiler alert.) Hope you like, here you go.
