My mentor and close friend, Brent, sent this to me yesterday and it felt very share worthy:
Today's reckless prediction: Teardrop by Massive Attack will someday be considered the greatest song ever recorded by humans. The justification won't be commercial success or the fame achieved by the original artist, but demonstrated by the quantity, stylistic range, and blow-your-mind quality of the covers it generates.
Massive Attack's original songdefines the trip hop genre.
Newton Faulkner's version makes me cry.
Even the dead feel something listening to Brad Mehldau's version.
AURORA has a trans-inducing version.
There's a catchy bluegrass version from Sarah Jarosz.
Michalina Malisz even plays her version on something called a hurdy-gurdy.
And OMG, Sreejith The Beard. Goosebumps.
happy Friday loves

Teardrop was the prompt. Upscaled.
