2-4-Tuesday

I have been thinking a lot about what song to do this week. I kept coming up with songs where the re-make is soooo obviously better than the original (you can guess what these may have been) but I wanted to do something where there was such a different approach to the song that they were almost different songs entirely. This track, Such Great Heights, started out as a techno-beated love song (you should check out the music video or the Apple rip-off) and then got taken into an entirely different direction.

Well, enough jibber-jabber. Time to listen and vote.

Postal Service





or Iron & Wine

and this for your additional listening pleasure:

I have no history/sentimental connection to this song. I don't remember ever hearing it before, so I voted strictly on how well I enjoyed each version. I definitely liked the less techno/more accoustic performance. Couldn't even listen to the entire third version.

Yeah, to be quite honest, that third version is really meant as a joke and I must apologize to anyone who listens to more than 30 seconds of it.

Third version - OUCH!!!
