How is that cover on a meditation app? Unless mediating is supposed to be about desolation? Yeesh. People sometimes rely on a song’s sound or just the song’s title or chorus, without “hearing” the lyrics. It reminds me of a years ago radio request show where a very sad young women requested Sheryl Crow’s “All I Wanna Do (is have some fun).” That song is about desperation! Or think of how many couple’s use U2’s “One” as a wedding song! That song is about the way we fail each other! In any case, this is such a great cover.
It really is. A song that is very beautiful but also transcends its original meaning is "My Funny Valentine." I saw Babes in Arms, and Lorenz's Hart's lines--"Is your figure less than Greek," and so on--were meant to put a woman down. I love the song and I even love the misunderstandings, but it was kind of a burn.

Yeah, that is a burn! And that reminds me of Springsteen’s “You ain't a beauty, but, hey, you're alright, Oh, and that's alright with me.”
