Coury Palermo – Here Comes The Rain Again (Eurythmics Cover)

coury_palermo

Spectacular cover of a classic and beloved Eurythmics track. Coury takes a minimalist take with organic flare and let’s his voice soar, twist and dive into an abyss of orchestration.

Coury has several new projects in the pipeline:

– Three songs on the new Sleepthief record, “Labyrinthine Heart” (due in July),
including first single “World Gone Crazy“.
– Collaborations with Sunday Radio & Odd Year
– Recording an ep under the name Finley Grey (with former bandmate Matt Butler)
– Working on first solo album, “smoke, mirrors & the heartache that follows”

Nouvelle Vague – Dancing With Myself

nouvelle-vague

Hey folks, here with another cover of a popular 80’s track. This time around it’s a playful bossa nova cover of Billy Idol’s “Dancing with Myself.” Reminds me of a mix of bossa nova meets The Bird and The Bee meets Billy Idol.

From wiki:

The song is reportedly about masturbation, although it is in truth about what Tony James and Billy Idol witnessed in a Japanese night club during the band’s 1979 Japanese Tour as patrons watched themselves dance in the space enhancing mirrors which covered the walls.

Nouvelle Vague released their cover in 2006.

From wiki:

Nouvelle Vague is a French musical collective led by musicians Marc Collin and Olivier Libaux. Their name is a play on words referring simultaneously to their “Frenchness” and “artiness” (the ’60s new wave of cult French cinema), the source of their songs (all covers of punk rock, post-punk, and New Wave songs), and their use of ’60s Bossa nova-style arrangements.

Sufjan Stevens – Free Man In Paris

This is a cover version of Joni Mitchell’s, “Free Man in Paris” that was originally released on her 1974 album Court and Spark.

This track can be found on a 2007 tribute to Joni Mitchell compilation. Stevens kept only the lyrics and let the words inspire him to write a new arrangement and melody for the song.

Stevens has stated that with his cover he “decided to conjure up a party song, with strings and trumpets and trombones and vibraphones marching in a parade down the Champs Elysees to the Arc de Triomphe, all lit up with fireworks.”
