@TM said in ๐ถ*New* Cover vs Original. Any new covers you heard lately?๐ถ:
The original one is better than the cover but the song itsef is not touching for me .
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:
"I believe that I wrote the song โFast Carโ in 1986. At the time that I wrote the song, I actually didnโt really know who I was writing about. Looking back at it, and this happens with other songs as well, that I feel like I understand it only laterโฆ I think that it was a song about my parentsโฆ And about how when they met each other they were very young and they wanted to start a news life together and my mother was anxious to leave home. My parents got married and went out into the world to try to make a place for themselves and it was very difficult going."Source
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.
