It's video Friday, and this week we've got two ladies covering songs originally done by gents.
First up is Amanda Palmer covering Radiohead's "Creep". The original sounds haunting and empty enough, but the lyric "I wish I was special" as delivered by Amanda Palmer is simply gutting. There is something about a woman screaming that line that adds an entirely new level of desolation.
Next is Madeleine Peyroux with her take on Elliott Smith's "Behind the Bars". Slower, more sultry than the original. Heartbreaking.
Songs to snuggle up with in this cold, bitter weather. Enjoy!
