Five Good Covers presents five cross-genre reinterpretations of an oft-covered song.

Wrecking Ball covers

The number of cover versions committed to disc of this song far outnumber those of other and comparable “Wrecking Ball”s. SecondHandSongs lists 124 covers of the Miley Cyrus hit, against a paltry six for the Neil Young-written song of the same name, and four for that by Gillian Welch. Both are fine songs, of course. However, hand on heart, neither can hold a candle to the might of Miley’s tsunami of sangfroid regret, a song that clinically examines a deteriorating relationship with velvet-gloved precision, the lyrical accuracy as apt as it is transparent.

miley cyrus faithfully

Miley Cyrus covered Journey recently in a live performance at Chateau Marmont, a luxury celeb-filled hotel located in West Hollywood. During the performance, Cyrus did bare-bones versions of “Faithfully” as well as her own hit “Flowers.” Whereas the original Frontiers version of “Faithfully” is a slow-burn ballad that morphs into an epic song, this iteration of the song keeps things more calm and melancholy. As the silhouette of her gloved hand reaches out emotively, contrasted again with the yellow vintage-style light, the voice and piano cover begins to blossom. Continue reading »

Nothing But Thieves Performs Synthy ’80s Cover of Miley Cyrus’s “Flowers”

nothing but thieves flowers

Nothing But Thieves are a 5-piece rock band that has recently covered “Flowers” live for Like a Version, the series of covers that are featured on the Australian radio station called Triple J. The tune “Flowers” had loads of covers before the chart-topper had even been around for a month. We’re now at three months in, and this song has a lot of versions to sift through. But this one is more unique than some of the other dime-a-dozen covers that have been floating around the internet. 

To me, the bass line in “Flowers” always sounded straight out of the ’80s. But Nothing by Thieves added in lush synths and bright drums in their edition, and it really sealed the deal in making it sounds like it was from four decades ago. Conor Mason’s (intentionally) lackadaisical vocal diction in this one is purely charming, and the addition of the vocoder was a pleasant surprise. 

Nothing But Thieves kept the basic outline of Cyrus’s hit while adding layers and layers of new textural material. Check it out below.
