The Doors will make an appearance on this playlist. It would be impossible not to include them… a sensational band. It’s just a question of which song, and I suspect that will present itself in due course.
In the meantime, one of their songs has made it here in the form of a cover. And what a cover. It took me a moment to realise what I was listening to, but there’s a certain gusto - and gusto is the word - to it that absolutely does the song justice.
Covers are funny things. Some are truly awful… lazy to the point of feeling almost disrespectful. Others are clearly well-intended, but equally awful. Then there are the ones that work. You think, okay, you get it.
And occasionally there’s one that makes you wonder… is this actually better than the original?
Possibly controversial, especially having just said how fond I am of The Doors, but I’d put this one in that conversation.
