Original by The Knife

Cover by Jose Gonzalez

Cover by Scala and Kolacny Brothers.

Lately I’ve been discovering new music on YouTube and Myspace (check out the new Sigur Ros album “Heim/Hvarf”). “Heartbeats” originally by The Knife has been on repeat since this morning so I thought I would share. Usually when bands cover a song they lose whatever quality made the original song great, in other words they butcher the hell out of it. But these three different musicians/bands took the song and owned it. You can say one version is more to your taste but I think the genres are so completely different that they can’t be compared. Listen for yourself.
