I have a ridiculous attraction to depressing music, both in lyrics and music, and one very dynamic artist is Kate Bush who mostly worked in the 80's. She did a great job of getting across this completely juxtaposing energy and emotion in her songs....anyway, she made a song called "Running up that Hill" that may be way too 80s for most people, but really has great lyrics....HOWEVER, while I can't say for sure if this cover is better, it's much darker, completely different and really powerful. It's by the band Placebo and is actually featured on the new "gettysburg" commercials on History channel (which looks awesome). It's definitely my "sad/mellow" song of choice for today. Check it out and check out Kate Bush as well.
