zippi Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Dunno about the "better than original bit" but here it goes nontheless: "All the world is green" is one of my favourite Tom Waits songs ever, however I heard a cover of it first by another band I really love - Bo Kaspers Orkester, a jazz-pop band from Sweden and it's sung in swedish (also released in 2003). Such a good cover I genuinely thought for about 6-12 months it was an original, till I heard TW. Here they are both and because the lyrics mean a whole lot, I will attempt a translation for those interested. BKO version is along similar lines of the original lyrics, but with a tip of the hat to the master (end of first verse) and also a bit more romantic and noir than original, less of a TW edge. "Allt Är Som Förut" "All is like before" Bo Kaspers Orkester Jag föll djupt och handlöst I fell deep and hopelessly, När jag mötte dig The day that I met you Även om det gjorde ont Although sometimes it hurt like hell, har jag aldrig ångrat mig I've never regretted it Jag har gjort så dumma saker I've done such stupid things, Du kunde göra lika bra You could've done them just as well Säkert mycket bättre, Certainly much better, Men du är inte jag However I'm not you Låtsas som om vi aldrig setts Sounds like we never even met, Innan allt tog sluut Before it all was gone Vi kan drömma oss hem igen, We can dream we're home again, Att allt är som förut Where all is like before Vad var det som hände? What was it that happened? Ramlade himlen ner? Did the sky just fall? Slocknade solen? Maybe the sun went out? Eller var det något mer? Or was there something more? Det enda jag han tänka var att The only thought in my head: "Hoppas marken bär" "Hope the ground will break my fall" När du sa att jag borde When you said I shouldn't be, Inte vara där du är Anywhere you are Låtsas som om vi aldrig setts Sounds like we never even met, Innan allt tog sluut Before it all was gone Vi kan drömma oss hem igen, We can dream we're home again, Att allt är som förut Where all is like before Vi tar en drink i baren, We have a drink at the bar, Vi ses en sista gång We see each other one last time Jag kysser dig i nacken, I kiss you on the neck, Dom spelar våran sång The band's playing our song Jag får kalla dig min kvinna, I'll call you my wife, Och ana att du ler And I suppose you'll smile Sen kan jag försvinna, Then I can disappear, Du ser mig aldrig mer You'll see me never again Vi tar en drink i baren, We have a drink at the bar, Innan allt tar sluut Before it's all gone Jag kysser dig i nacken, I kiss you on the neck, Allt är som förut All is just like before Give it a whirl - it's a song an half (so 3 songs all up). Hope you enjoy it! And as a note, BKO are veterans with first album dating to 1993 (the hatted frontman Bo Sundström playing piano jazz standards at Chamonix for years beforehand) with heaps of gems throughout the discography of 10 or so albums, but can truly be appreciated only if the language is understood (to an extent at least).

Guest deanB Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Roy Buchanan covering Neil Young's Down By The River. The Rolling Stones invited Roy to join the band after Brian Jones death but he turned them down, later saying he was pretty messed up at the time and didn't want to add to the Stones casualty list. Robbie Robertson, Billy Gibbons and Jeff Beck were also among his fans and fellow Telecaster master Albert Collins was a close friend who Roy jammed with regularly.

Ian McP Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 the original still sounds fresh, way ahead of its time! Grace put her unique touch to it, better than the original? Just a different take on the song, equally good, shows you just how good songwriters Vanda and Young were! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian McP Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Warm Leatherette: The Normal (1978) Considering it's budget production and early "industrial music" approach it stands up quite well https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warm_Leatherette <The lyrics of "Warm Leatherette" reference J.G. Ballard's controversial 1973 novel Crash, which had heavily influenced Daniel Miller.[1] Together with his college friend, he had worked on a film script based on the book, but after the project was abandoned, Miller decided to "write a song encapsulating [the script] in 2 and a half minutes".[2] The song was recorded in Miller's apartment using 2 Revox B-77 tape machines. Series of sawtooth waves were recorded on a $150 Korg 700S synthesizer. Miller took the record to a few independent music shops, including Rough Trade in London, where it would be played to customers.[2] "Warm Leatherette" was released as the B-side to "T.V.O.D.", the only single by Miller's musical project The Normal, and the very first release on his Mute Records label. However, since it was "Warm Leatherette" that gained more public attention,[3] it was featured as the lead song on subsequent single re-releases. Although Miller did not expect the single to be successful,[4] it sold thirty thousand copies.[5] The single was an early example of the then-burgeoning industrial music genre, emerging on a wave of numerous electronic pop experiments of the late 1970s in the UK.[6] It has since been described as having "revolutionised electronic music with its punk aesthetic, stark sound and dark subject matter"[2] and has been covered by numerous artists. > Warm Leatherette: Grace Jones (1980) featuring the legendary the Riddum twins, Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare and superb production from Compass Point Studios! Give a vinyl copy of this a spin, still sounds incredible today! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warm_Leatherette_(album) < For Warm Leatherette, Jones went through a musical and visual reinvention. The singer teamed up with producers Chris Blackwell and Alex Sadkin, and Sly and Robbie, Wally Badarou, Barry Reynolds, Mikey Chung and Uziah "Sticky" Thompson, aka the Compass Point Allstars > 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
