Good cover but he didn’t adjust the genders and it sounds ridiculous
Yup. It also just sounded like Chapman’s version in a different key. He added nothing to the song. Think about what Johnny Cash did to “Hurt” or Whitney did to “I will always love you,” and Luke’s miss is glaring.
He did it better than she did. And yes, “You still ain’t got a job. So I work in a market as a checkout girl” is ridiculous.
As does the actual song from 35 years ago. Monochromatic in tone, beat and nearly mumbled lyrics. Musical criticism that would apply to any “color” singer songwriter. Was said about John Fogerty and Creedence.
Always amusing that a welfare student given an education at hitlery’s alma mater Wellesley College— could market themselves to the guilty wealthy. Fast car indeed.
“Good cover but he didn’t adjust the genders and it sounds ridiculous.”
That may have been Chapman’s call.
Use my song, but use it word for word, and by the way, make sure you spell my name correctly on the checks.
