12M ~ May 2020

Day 15: A song you like that's a cover by another artist!

The Doc: All Along The Watchtower - Dave Matthews Band
Me: Simply the Best - Noah Reid from Schitt's Creek
David: Weezer - Take On Me
Shaun: Africa - Weezer
Evan: Smooth Criminal - Naya Rivera and Grant Gustin ft. 2Cellos from Glee

I had a lot of choices for this one and so it was hard to narrow down. The classic choice would have been Joe Cocker's version of With a Little Help from my Friends, this is probably a rare case where I prefer the cover more to the original and I big puffy heart love The Beatles. I also had The White Stripes version of Jolene and Fugees version of Killing Me Softly on my honorable mentions list, along with a number of Pentatonix covers; they are all amazing, especially Hallelujah. But I am choosing this one because it was a big surprise for me. The original isn't a bad song, but I would definitely change the radio station if it came on the radio because, whatever. Then I saw this version while binge watching Schitt's Creek one night and bawled my eyes out. I've been obsessed every since. I love the stripped down version so, so much. I also feel compelled to let you all know that if you haven't binged this show yet, you're missing out.

Today Evan is TEN! Happy Birthday Evan! Given the circumstances, I think we did a great job making the BIG TEN something special! Special social distanced lunch with Auntie, Grammy and Scottie, a special phone call from his teacher, a special birthday sing a long with friends in the street, lots of cards and signs, take out dinner from El Rodeo and ice cream cake from Arnie's! BEST DAY EVER. 🥳💕😊
