(30) Days of Music: Day 24

Your favorite cover song
"Running Up That Hill," Placebo.
Originally by Kate Bush.
This is one of those weird things that simply cannot be explained. See, I love me some Kate Bush, and I don't even really like Placebo at all. ("Special K" is pretty much the only exception to my total lack of use for them.) But I not only like Placebo's version of this song; I like it better than the original version. Somehow, they managed to pierce through the layers and reach to - and thus bring out - the horror and strangeness of love that is inherent in the lyrics but never came through in the music of the Kate Bush original. In a sense, they made this tune into the song it was always meant to be. Odd, but true.
