I am one man who writes (pretty poorly) about music because I love it. I study, play, produce, engineer, analyze, and obsess about music. Enjoy all the topics I can muster up to write about.
Man, I dunno… she took out all of the bombast! Don’t get me wrong, I can see why you’d be a little bummed to have them close out one of their concerts with it, but frankly I see My Body is a Cage to be the only great song on Neon Bible (which I suppose is the biggest reason why we differ) and it’s just not got the same punch without the eruption of sound. The guitar’s really nice, but quiet and meditative cover songs are a dime a dozen.
Completely agree with Nathan on it being a “dime a dozen” cover. Pretty enough, but extremely boring in comparison with the original. It caused me to run back to Arcade Fire with a quickness. — Thanks for reminding me how wonderful Arcade Fire is, though. They are unequivocally the artist who did the song justice.
