Jukebox HMS Redux

Covers are such strange beasts. Most interesting when they jump genres or in some way shake things up and yet still bring along the original essence in some form.

Chet Faker - No Diggity (Live Sessions)

[details=Lyrics]Shorty get down, good Lord
Baby got 'em open all over town
Strictly biz, don’t play around
Cover much ground, got game by the pound
Getting paid is a forte
Each and every day, true player way
I can’t get her out of my mind yo
I think about the girl all the time yo

East side to the west side
Pushing phat rides, it’s no surprise
She got tricks in the stash
Stacking up cash
Fast when it comes to the gas
By no means average
As long as she’s got to have it
Baby, you’re a perfect ten

(I like the way you work it
No diggity, I gotta bag it up)
(I like the way you work it
No diggity, I gotta bag it up)
(I like the way you work it
No diggity, I gotta bag it up)
(I like the way you work it
No diggity, I gotta bag it up)

She’s got class and style
Seen knowledge by the mile
Baby never act wild
Very low key on the profile
Catching feelings is a no
Let me tell you how it goes
Curves the words, spins the verbs
Lovers it curves so freak what you heard

Hey yo, hey yo, hey yo, hey yo
Man that girl look good
Hey yo, hey yo, hey yo, hey yo
Play on, play on
Hey yo, hey yo, hey yo, hey yo
She’s got class and style
Hey yo, hey yo, hey yo, hey yo
No diggity no

(I like the way you work it
No diggity, I gotta bag it up)
(I like the way you work it
No diggity, I gotta bag it up)
(I like the way you work it
No diggity, I gotta bag it up)
(I like the way you work it
No diggity, I gotta bag it up)
(I like the way you work it
No diggity, I gotta bag it up)
(I like the way you work it
No diggity, I gotta bag it up)
(I like the way you work it
No diggity, I gotta bag it up)
(I like the way you work it
No diggity, I gotta bag it up)[/details]

Lusine - Just A Cloud

[details=Lyrics]I wish that I was just a cloud
In the sky, above the land
I wish that I was just a cloud
Take less shape and disappear

I wish that I was just a cloud
In the sky, above the land
I wish that I was just a cloud
Take less shape and disappear

I wish that I was just a cloud
In the sky, above the land
I wish that I was just a cloud
Take less shape and disappear

I wish that I was just a cloud
In the sky, above the land
I wish that I was just a cloud
Take less shape and disappear

I wish that I was just a cloud
In the sky, above the land
I wish that I was just a cloud
Take less shape and disappear

I wish that I was just a cloud
In the sky, above the land
I wish that I was just a cloud
Take less shape and disappear[/details]

The Dakota Access Pipeline protests had me thinking about this.

The time has come
A fact’s a fact
It belongs to them
Let’s give it back.

Was digging through my old music blog and found this track. More relevant than ever.

Laura Mvula - She (In South Africa)

[details=Lyrics]She walked towards you with her head down low
She wondered if there’s a way out of the blue
Who’s gonna take her home this time?
She knew that this time wouldn’t be the last time

There she waits looking for a savior
Someone to save her from her dying self
Always taking ten steps back and one step forward
She’s tired but she don’t stop

She don’t stop, she don’t stop, she don’t stop
She don’t stop, she don’t stop, she don’t stop

Every day she stood hoping for a new light
She closed her eyes and she heard a small voice say
You don’t stop, no, you belong to me
She cried, maybe it’s too late

Don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop
Don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop
Don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop
Don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop
Don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop
Don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop
Don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop
Don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop
Don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop[/details]

Here is a track from this year. Beautiful and powerful.

Laura Mvula - Overcome (Official Video) ft. Nile Rodgers

[details=Lyrics]
[Verse 1]
When your heart is broken down, down, down
And your head don’t reach the sky
Take your broken wings and fly

[Verse 2]
When your head is hanging low, low, low
And the tears, they keep falling
Take your broken feet and run

[Verse 3]
With the world up on your shoulders
Nowhere left to hide
Keep your head up, carry on

[Bridge]
It ain’t no time to die, die
Even though we suffer
Come together, be brave
Come together
All God’s children, come

[Outro]
'Round the mountain, all God’s children run
’Round the mountain, all God’s children run
’Round the mountain, all God’s children run (All God’s children run 'round the mountain, run)
'Round the mountain, all God’s children run (All God’s children run 'round the mountain, run)
'Round the mountain, all God’s children run (All God’s children run 'round the mountain, run)
'Round the mountain, all God’s children run (All God’s children run 'round the mountain, run)
'Round the mountain, all God’s children run (All God’s children run 'round the mountain, run)
'Round the mountain, all God’s children run (All God’s children run 'round the mountain, run)[/details]

Emika - My Heart Bleeds Melody

[details=Lyrics]I fled to the ocean,
broken.
As my heart bleeds melody.

I see the horizon,
one line.
As my heart bleeds melody.

As my heart bleeds melody.
As my heart bleeds melody.

Things got so out of control,
killed by desire.
Now my heart bleeds melody.

I love life,
too much.
How much,
can we feel?
As my heart bleeds melody.Now forever,
the storms in heaven,
are raining.
Now forever,
the storms in heaven,
are raining.
As my heart leeds melody.[/details]

That’s catchy. Would love top see them do a live version.

Orbital - Halcyon (live)
Including samples from Bon Jovi’s You Give Love A Bad Name and Belinda Carlisle’s Heaven Is A Place On Earth.

I would too, but I suspect it ain’t going to happen - I’d be surprised if Carly Rae has the cachet in Trent Reznor’s eyes of someone like, say, Gary Numan.

Yeah I would imagine if it happened it would be more about him liking the mash-up enough to want to do it live than about him being big fan but… Ive noticed musicians often have broader musical tastes than their fans so you never know.

A new interpretation, yet with classic Polymoog.
