    On topic, been listening to the new Robyn album and really like the economy of production. There's only what needs to be going on going on.

    This is one of them:

    Man. You know when you over-listen to something or it gets over-played to you, then you hear it a couple or a few years later for the first time and it hits you just as hard as the original time? One of those moments just now for this.

    (Thread aside) Other recent examples of this for me are 'Walk on the Wild Side' and the Elvis version of 'Always On My Mind'..or hell the Willie Nelson one, too. That song packs a fucking punch.

    Glad I could help in some small way.
    Yes, I know what you mean, and particularly with this recording.
    This is a song that I can always recall in my head, frequently sit down and play and sing it, or accompany another singer on it. However, every time I go back to this rendition, I am struck by the delicacy and vulnerability of the performance. It is simply perfect.

    I've always loved Moe Tucker's solo version of this song too. Still simple but quite different. It sort of swaps delicacy for epicness.

    It is good.
    I saw her do it live with Sterling on guitar in a rather small club.

    This song has one and a half chords in the verse (play a D first and then put your pinkie down to make the second "chord", and another two once the chorus kicks in.

    Snowstorm by Galaxie 500:

    Really love them too!

    Never get tired of this Sparklehorse song.

    I've never got tired of that whole album. Shame what happened to him. I also like all the other stuff you posted, Low, Bonnie Prince Billy etc... All great stuff.

    Piano Bird with PJ Harvey is also one of my favorite song on this album. Very underrated, and such a sad life...

    He really nailed 'your own personal Jesus' a song only him could dare to cover.

    Yeah love those albums. I got into the Personal Jesus track. When I realised who wrote it my initial reaction was ‘yuck’, but revisiting the DM version a few times made me like it a bit. Still better when Mr Cash does it though, same with The Mercy Seat.

    What about Low?

    +1. I rarely listen to stuff that sounds like this, but the punch they pack with such minimalism is undeniable.

    With Low, for me anyway, it's more about the feeling of a punch they're always about to pack but somehow manage not to. It's the sound of your fist, clenched under a table; left there, frustratingly, because it's your partner's uncle that your heart is screaming HIT HIT HIT. Or that moment of stupidity in your past... you wish you could go back and punch yourself in the jewels but you can't so you're left with a uselessly clenched fist. I love Low.

    Maybe not the best example of their penchant for tension but The Plan is probably still my favorite Low song. So simple musically and lyrically but beautiful beyond bounds. Boom, banished but breathing.

    You describe it perfectly!

    His version of The Mercy Seat is amazing, but IMHO, the original is unbeatable.

    I like the the Nick Cave Mercy Seat (of course), but then there's always this, it's a different song, same name, around the same time:

    Cave's original builds and builds and builds in intensity. It is a hell of a performance.

    Oh yeah, I like both - but for me JC’s version does a better job in intensity building. I first heard it on the radio while being driven back from the pub - almost mirrored the dark drive up a hill. It matched the length of the journey, and by the time it ended I was completely shell shocked:

    I like the depth of emotion you get from an older vocalist, even more poignant when they’re singing about death.

    Cash's version is stunning.

    I have long fantasized about doing a similar project with Willie Nelson. Having him sing "surprising" songs that he could do an excellent take on.
    Examples:
    Lady Stardust
    Satellite of Love
    Wild Horses
    The Ballad of Lucy Jordan
    All Tomorrow's Parties
    2HB
    Some Of Them Are Old

    This was originally a Tim Buckley song but they made it stellar, probably one of the most beautiful and haunting songs of all time with the simplest arrangement.

    A true exercise in restraint and care for a song.

    My favourite female vocalist. She had a relationship with his son, Jeff.

    I guess I'm a simpleton. I love 90% of the music referenced here and like the rest. Never thought I'd see galaxie 500 or Low referenced in these parts but fills me with warmth knowing like-minded folks abound. I've been in a big "less is more" writing mode for a while and having so much fun! It's a great reward to write something simple that feels big!

    Nice to see this one here. Thank you Doug! When I was a kid, I first discovered it with This Mortal Coil's version. This is an incredible interpretation. But I still believe the original is the best especially this version:
