I do like the recent covers of Cat Stevens The First Cut Is The Deepest (Sheryl 
Crow) and Pink Floyd's The Wall (don't remember -- Disturbed? ).

It's Korn.. and it's the second cover they've scored with, they did a cover of 
"Word Up" that sounded better than the original.

This is the reason I don't understand Limp Bizkit's cover of Behind
Blue Eyes.

I do like the recent covers of Cat Stevens The First Cut Is The
Deepest (Sheryl Crow) and Pink Floyd's The Wall (don't remember --
Disturbed? ).

The Sheryl Crow cover is nearly identical, so I'm not entirely certain
why I like it except that perhaps the song itself is somewhat totemic
for me.

My craft name is "try" which, as odd as it might sound came to me by
way of the song... "and they've taken almost all that I've got, but if
you want I'll _try_ to love again." When I was considering a craft
name I considered something more mainstream (for a craft name) but
none of the more "traditional" sounding names felt to me like they fit
my skin...

I just couldn't be comfortable telling someone to call me
"river-dancing leafy-tree spirit". I've met lots of people who are
comfortable with names like "Laughing Oak" and the names seem even to
fit them when I put the name to them from outside... they just don't
fit on me... but because that's the common theme with craft names,
that's what I got hung-up on when I was considering my own until I
happened to be thinking about it at the same time that I was paying
attention to the lyrics of The First Cut.

Beyond the specific romantic implications of the song, the name itself
is an assertion of tenacity and an affirmation and reminder of the
expirimental nature of life.

The irony is that the shorter name actually requires an explanation
often because in the neo-pagan community when someone says "I'm
Laughing Oak" it's generally accepted and understood, but when I say
"I'm Try" I typically get the question "You're who?" or "Try what?".
It's so short and so unusual (for a craft name) that people don't
understand that it _is_ a craft name at first. I suppose it's not the
length either, because "Raven" and "Talon" are generally received the
same way "Laughing Oak" is received... Maybe it's because it's a verb
and it'd be received the same way if someone introduced themselves as
"Laugh" instead of "Laughter". :P Though the only noun equivalent I
can think of is "attempt" which just doesn't have the same ring to it.
:P

The recent cover of the Wall is much more ... bitter? ... It's a much
more passionate song... and I think it does real justice to the idea
behind the lyrics. And it's the sort of song I'd have expected from
that band too. :)
