I'd like to see someone mash this into a video duet between them. Her version blows his away. You don't feel the despair in his. It would probably get - jnine Jul 1, 11:14
Will she get the Old Town Road treatment afterwards? -- nm - Qale Jun 30, 21:03
I've heard his version. It wasn't bad, but the entire time I was listening to it, I had a feeling it should be with someone else. -- (edited) - Beryllium Jun 30, 20:13 1
- 100%!! -- nm - mandy on home machine Jun 30, 20:14
That's pretty cool. - ReluctantCynic Jun 30, 19:46 15
- I'm waiting for Mickey Guyton to do this for one of her own songs. She's really great. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 30, 20:18
- agreed, but honestly if they had rereleased chapman's version, it might have done just as well. nothing new in dude's version. -- nm - mandy on home machine Jun 30, 19:59 13
  - also toooootally listening to her first album on the way to harrisburg tomorrow. I bet I still know every lyric. -- nm - mandy on home machine Jun 30, 20:00 12
    - (I'll just keep replying to myself) it is interesting that dude is saying to a chick "stay out drinking late at the bar see more of your friends - mandy on home machine Jun 30, 20:04 11
      - I like that he didn’t change the gender. He still works in the market as a checkout girl -- nm - Tim Jun 30, 20:11 9

        He must've really had a connection to it to agree to all that. - Beryllium Jun 30, 20:59 5
        
        I think it's most interesting she has a firm no-sample policy but he could do this. I'd assume that she's happy about getting her cut...but that - Will Hunting Jun 30, 21:05 2
        
        difference between a mechanical license for cover versions (which artists have no veto over, just get paid the statutory license fee) and sampling - hollywood big shot Jun 30, 21:43 1
        
        I read the article -- I get the "Why", but given she's protective enough to file suit in the sampling, I'm not assuming she's cool with the cover. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 30, 21:47
        
        Maybe his mom loved it and played it all the time? -- nm - Pippy 🏳️‍🌈 Jun 30, 21:03 1
        
        Mine did. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 30, 21:06

        ha ha great catch -- nm - mandy on home machine Jun 30, 20:14
