We tried to cover it with my band, but it sounded really boring. Upon listening closely to it, I was surprised by how minimalist it actually is. I mean there’s barely anything on the track! Some piano, some strings, and drum and bass of course.
It was a happy surprise to find that it’s one of those songs that are carried by the pure energy of the vocalist, which makes it very tricky to cover unless you go a very lateral route and “re-genre” it.
Not that much actually! There’s not even any bass for the first verse, as it punches in at the first chorus. By the end, the strings appear to come a bit forward in the mix, and there are 2, maybe 3 additional vocal tracks but no additional instruments that I can hear.

It starts minimal, but it does progressively fill out.
