Comment on There are songs we've gone our whole lives without hearing and our favorite song might still be out there.

  That song had a revival recently. I don’t remember hearing it when it came out, but it has been on my coworkers radio every day for the last couple of months. Maybe it has been on a TV show or something. Great song.

    In the past two decades there’s been a bunch covers that I know of (or just learned of):

    • Ace of Base
    • Seeed
    • Zucchero (didn’t even know about this one until now)
    • Katie Melua
    • Smith & Burrows (the one you heard on your coworker’s radio?)
    • Imany (or did you hear this one?)

    and then a bunch of electronic music mixes.

    I love that song since the 80s; and for a long time - until the early 2000s I knew no covers - so I am very happy that there’s a lot of tributes to Black with lots of different styles :)

      I just heard it again my radio on my way home. I still don’t know why it’s so suddenly popular again right now and it’s puzzling me.

      Anyway, it has stood the test of time, and I think that’s about the only way to actually find the greatest songs.

        Which version, though? :) That sounds like you mean the original?

        I suppose it’s one way to judge them :) But yes, that’s why my favourite has not changed for over 30 years - I don’t get tired of it. Much like this one.
