An interesting comparison can be made between two interpretations of the song “Crying in the Rain.” The original, performed by The Everly Brothers, sounds very different from a famous cover by A-ha. However, the text of the song discusses the topic of heartbreak, the original sounds rather upbeat. The cover’s style improves the mood of the song, changing its arrangement to sound more in line with the text. Personally, I prefer the cover version, as it adds some rock motives. This version conveys the emotions of the lyrics.
Take any set of pieces on the cover’s listening list and talk about the differences that you hear in the performances. Which do you like more? Why? Are the versions of the songs trying to express different things, and if so, how are they different? In which version does it feel that the performers are speaking more directly to you?
