30 days of song: day 1 - your favorite song

[loveflyfree]

so it was actually easy to pick my favorite song because it's been my favorite for just about forever. the hard part was picking which version. obviously there is the original which I love like pie. but then Chris Colfer did an amazing job on Glee. ultimately though I chose the version I listen to the most which is Sarah McLachlan's cover for the movie I Am Sam.

Every single time I hear that song, I think of Susan's sister Chloe having her baby on ER like a million years ago and how she wanted that played while she was having the baby, but the baby came early, so they sang it for her instead and I cried and cried.

so. um. random. but true! :D

That was lovely. Y'know, "Black Bird" is the only song out there where I prefer every single cover I've heard to the original. (My favorite, and this makes me a Bad Music Fan, is Rachel Evan Woods's from Across the Universe. She just makes it so haunting.)

oh no. that version is WONDERFUL. and I totally get that. I mean I love the original because you know. The Beatles. but there are so many truly great covers. ♥
