different cover versions of this song that have been recorded by a vast number of diverse artists throughout the decades who have all brought something new to their own version. These include popular artists such as Marilyn Manson, in 2002, and The Pussycat Dolls, in 2004, along with less known acts such as New Jersey band Shades Apart, in 1995, and Singer/Songwriter Hannah Peel, in 2010, whose version was used in the popular television show American Horror Story. This specific version of Tainted
Nails on the album “The Downward Spiral”. The song was written by Trent Reznor and was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rock Song in 1996. In 2002 Johnny Cash recorded a cover of that same song which quickly became an ode to his life and death. The two versions of the song, much like the artists who provide the versions, are completely different yet, still the same. The song takes on new meaning when performed by Johnny Cash, however, it still retains the same connotation. Both Reznor and Cash
everything about the cover is the same as the original. The cover still has the velvet voice of Nat King Cole, the soft piano playing in the background, and unchanged tempo. Ultimately, the only thing that sounds different between the two songs is the female vocals incorporated in the cover. On the contrary, those who think there are no differences among the two are the people blind to what is under the surface of the song. “Unforgettable” is set apart from any other cover song out, and is successful
in all parts of life. Much of what is created doesn't have (quality of being fresh and new) it is a re-thinking and re-doing of a previous original idea. In the essay written by Jeff Turpentine, “Why Some Covers Disappoint”, he discusses how challenging it is to determine the quality of a cover song. As described by the author, these reproductions often leave the listener with little gratification. The author goes on to explain the lack of a clear difference from the original song can be failure
Every day I walk around with a crown on my head, even when I am at home or when I go to sleep. Okay calling my hair a crown may be a little exaggerated, but hey that’s what happens when you have an appreciation for your hair. I enjoy styling my hair because hair is an accessory that complements an outfit. From my freshmen year to my junior year in high school, I have had some major changes done to my hair. As part of my transformation between middle school and high school, I wanted to change the
1. What was your favorite musical moment of the event (and why)? My favorite musical moment during the event was when the Jerry Don band would play different cover songs. I love listening to bands that are able to create their own music, while still being able to play a cover. If a band is capable of doing both, then I tend to find them more talented. I think this because if you’re a band like Jerry Don’s then a lot of people don’t know you or your songs. Therefore, if the band plays multiple songs

He belonged to the House of Stuart along with all the other Kings of Scotland and a few from England. James I became the King of England when Elizabeth I, his cousin, died.

Is the cover a good thing or a bad thing? Are there any cover songs that you have heard and have grown to like more than the original? Perhaps there are songs that you have heard and have later come to the realization that it is indeed a cover song. This is the case for me. However, my feelings on cover songs vary depending on the particular instance. I think the cover is a good thing now days. There are many new songs that I have heard and have later realized that it is a cover song. I probably
and early 21st century. Film versions of Othello made since the 1960s reflect our time's preoccupation with race. This paper will look at several film versions of Othello in this light. Filmed versions of the drama--directed by Orson Welles (1952), Stuart Burge (1965), Oliver Parker (1995), Tim Blake Nelson (2000), and Geoff Saxes (2001)--visually boost or minimize the race factor in the story, subject to the political ideas of their time.

Film Versions of Shakespeare Comedies Shakespearean plays are complex, intricate pieces of work in which a diverse range of interpretations and readings can be made. This is particularly true of his comedies, where the light-hearted humour is often offset by darker, more serious undertones. In adapting these comedies it is for the director – in the cinematic context – to decide how to interpret the play and which elements are privileged and which are suppressed. This variance in interpretation
The Semiotics of Covers I'm going to buy a book today - but not a school book, a real book - a bestseller. I walk past the harmonica man standing outside of the Brown Office Building, clamping my ears shut against the discordant melodies he's spewing out at me. I enter the Brown Bookstore - my Mecca, my Graceland. I strut past the tables near the door and walk toward the bestseller wall, my being allthewhile bombarded by hardcovers seeking my wandering eyes. Howard Stern in drag screams out

Gilder, having just published "To Build a Fire" in his magazine, was worried when he came across another version published 6 years earlier.

A Comparison of Two Versions of The Big Sleep The Production Code attempted to censor sex and violence in film of the 1930's and 40's. Instead of impairing, it encouraged directors to use artistic ideas and integrity to surpass the viewers' expectations -- actively involving them in the film despite Hollywood's censorship. Howard Hawks is one such director who used the restrictions of the Production Code to his advantage. His screen adaptation of the Raymond Chandler novel The Big Sleep
Compariing Three Versions of Chaucer's Pardoner's Tale One of the interesting things about the works of Chaucer is the amount of difference one can find between the different manuscripts of his work. I thought it would be interesting to look at the difference between two manuscripts, using the transcriptions available in the Chaucer Society Specimens of all the Accessible Unprinted Manuscripts of the Canterbury Tales. I found a copy that has comparative versions of the manuscripts assigned
that particular speech. In a play, the actors’ interpretation of the character is what gives the audience the background and insights into the characters’ feelings, since there is not a narrator, like in a short story. Each actor’s version of Hamlet is different, and therefore the interpretation by the audience will be different. There is not a right or wrong interpretation, but a change in the actor’s tone of voice or facial expressions, can transform the meanings of the words
