Anyone that knows me knows I am not a fan of country music but I recently heard this new cover by Luke Combs of the song "Fast Car" (Originally by Tracy Chapman)
I really love this version and this is one of the rare occasions I like the cover more than the original (even though I still think the original is amazing). What do you think?
Have you heard any new covers that you like more than the original? Share/Comment below!
The cover by Luke Combs (2023)
The original by Tracy Chapman (1988)
@Janet Nah.. have you checked Khalid's version of this song?

Ohhh I like this too! its the male version of the original haha.
I should have searched other covers cause, duh, there would be more. This one is great but I really was surprised at how much I liked the country version (since I don't like Country).
TY for sharing :)
@Janet He's an upbeat remix
(The best part is the tune at 1:00)

Yeah not every song resonates with every person. Tracy even admits she didn't really know what she was writing about when she wrote the song. Years later she stated:
Whatever the meaning many fans have expressed how the song changed their lives and how they interpret the song.
Glad you took the time to listen. Do you have any covers of songs that you do like? I would love to hear them.
@Janet I'm starting to hate songs for how much deep feelings they can reflect on my heart with 0 return in reality ... It's all in my mind and heart strangly unmatched with how others would receive it . I have nothing to share anymore there not even half a single reason to do so .

Yeah see I am quite the opposite. I love music. This morning I woke up in a fun happy great mood and yet I chose to listen to sad songs just for their beauty and meaning. For me, they soothe me so that is my "return in reality". The feeling and power of love and heartbreak is very relatable to me and made me the person I am today... I see the beauty of heartbreak lyrics and devotion/love in lyrics.
