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

Nope. I’ve heard Jeff Buckley’s version of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah and Johnny Cash’s version of Hurt.

One of those is the best, but I can’t pick. They both are so moving - as mere covers! - that the odds are low of anything better coming out.

And then Farrel’s Happy, so yeah.

As much as I love the cover, I really have never been able to enjoy it more than three original version of Hurt

  That is interesting. I loved the original in my youth, but now that I am older, a cancer survivor, and with a lifetime of challenge and too many dead lived ones, Cash’s version speaks to me on a different level.
  
  I’m not yucking your yum one bit. I am happy that you have a song that speaks to you.

    To be fair, I’m in my mid 20s which may still be “youth”. I do see how the cover can speak more with more challenges in life. I do also love “Thank you for the offer” by Chip Taylor and it gives me a similar feeling to Cash’s Hurt.
    
    I’m not yucking your yum one bit. Wouldn’t take it that way. Besides, Cash’s version is also “my yum”, just not more than the original :)
    
    I hope life has given and continues to give you more to smile about.
