Two songs: Let it Be and Rainbow Connection
When I find myself in times of trouble; Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom let it be
And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree
There will be an answer let it be
For though they may be parted there is still a chance that they might see
There will be an answer let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be,
There will be an answer let it be
And when the night is cloudy there is still a light that shines on me
Shine until tomorrow let it be
I wake up to the sound of music Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom let it be
Let it be....
Why are there so many songs about rainbows? And whats on the other side?
Rainbows are visions but only illusions
And rainbows have nothing to hide
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong wait and see
Someday we'll find it
The Rainbow Connection the lovers the dreamers and me
Who said that every wish would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of it and someone believed it
And look what it's done so far
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing?
What do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it
The Rainbow Connection the lovers the dreamers and me
All of us under it's spell we know that it's probably magic
Have you been half asleep? Have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name.
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors
The voice might be one in the same
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
Something that I'm s'posed to be
Someday we'll find it
The Rainbow Connection the lovers the dreamers and me
Lalalala
(the Sarah McLachlan version or this or Michael Mraz is beautiful)

Johnny Cash's covers of both "Personal Jesus" and NIN's "Hurt" are both exceptional. Also, the Smashing Pumpkins' cover of "Never Let Me Down Again" is also exquisite and nuanced. That's the way covers should be...something that reinterprets a song in an interesting way, as opposed to something like 311's cover of "Lovesong" which I can hardly tell the difference from the original.

Hey, Leo...
Did you ever hear Johnny Cash's cover of Bob Marley's "Redemption Song" (with Joe Strummer?) Sort of haunting.
