Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now"
2 versions, both identical lyrically, Google her original from 1969,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pbn6a0AFfnM
and then listen to her 2000 cover.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKQSlH-LLTQ
The tone has changed completely, the later is darker, and reflects a full lives experience, a stark contrast, and its true to the song title, "Both Sides Now", a lament of someone who has lived and learned over the course of a lifetime.
I'm not mulling over meaning, I'm pointing out a comparison. A cover version should reflect phases in life. |

both versions so beautiful!! I prefer the more recent one. Always reminds me of the beautifully acted scene in Love Actually by Emma Thompson.
Some of my favourites:
Johnny Cash - Hurt
Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah
The Fugees - Killing me softly
Scissor Sisters - Comfortably Numb
Al Green - How can you mend a broken heart

" The actual songwriting is legally credited to the obscure, California-based, folk singer Billy Roberts. He registered "Hey Joe" for copyright in the U.S. in 1962. The earliest known commercial recording of the song is the late 1965 single by the L. A. garage band, The Leaves" |

"Can't believe no one mentioned Jimi Hendrix covering Bob's All Along The Watchtower 
My pick is, John Smith covering QOTSA No One Knows."
