gonna wrap you up in my song, all over

when i think of covers, a couple of things pop into my head. it always seems like the best ones are those that wrap you around into a different mood than that of the original song. therefore, the best covers for me are those accomplished artists who can cover an already brilliant song by tainting it with their own kind of music. it just wraps you up. rufus wainwright, for example, does an amazing "hallelujah" (jeff buckley, of course) and a fantastic "hotel chelsea" (leaonard cohen). but here's one that surpasses everything, the ultimate cover. of course, everone knows this is not a tori amos song, but it feels like hers.



notice the way she moves around her waist on the bench? love it.

stat!
