I clicked through for Weird Al and was pleasantly surprised. 
eta: I wanted Weird Al, but was surprised that this was a serious cover and a good one at that.

This was my father’s favorite song, ever. I can’t listen to it too often because it makes me feel things, but this was lovely.

I had a few random clicks thru that.
But it’s 2 hours long!
Think I might download it for some background one of these days.
(Typed while listening to the rather good cover of Cities In Dust at the 20.00 mark, definitely downloading).

The show does an annual covers program. Always a few gems within. Have fun.

But the all-time classic has to be the Sisters of Mercy’s Emma:

Covers of goth material by non-goth (or non-goth-adjacent) artists seem to be a lot rarer.

I need to find more Smiths covers. I was a sucker for their stuff when I was younger.
ETA: I was trying to convince a friend of mine the The Smiths were actually a Country and Western group. He wasn’t having it.
My argument is dead obvious, though - tell a sad story to the background of a foot-tapping tune.

Yeah, Morrissey has proven himself a real ass, but the Smiths are still quite solid music!
yeah… could be! The janglely guitar sound is sort of western inspired…

Following on from the goth stuff the other day…
And here’s the original, just because its perfection speaks to my very soul…

Pedantry:
The monks were recorded inside or at least under a full stone archway/cloister, not as you see them in the video.
Source: I’ve sung in enough churches, chapels, and stone cloisters/archways to recognize the sound profile.

A couple Canadians, Geddy Lee & Alex Lifeson, teamed back up to join a bunch of other Canadians at the Gordon Lightfoot tribute a couple days ago and covered The Way I Feel.
Cool stuff.
