 I'm sure there was a thread like this before, but can't find it now, sorry if this is a repeat. My submission for this category is Hyperballad, a brilliant original by Björk:

Now we have this beautiful thing from Jacob Collier:

What other wonders are out there?

This cover of the Tame Impala song Borderline is so much better than the original. Usually I'm not one for covers but this one just hits harder I feel.

here's the original for comparison.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


 Cruel Summer is kind of a nothing Taylor Swift song to me but this G Flip cover eats.

Some Johnny Cash posts in here...so I guess I'll post my favorite version of "Ring of Fire" :v:

Also, technically every version of "The House of the Rising Sun" is a cover since it's a traditional folk song. The Muse version is more of a cover than the Animals version though.
