I don't think music has an essence, considering that it's such a subjective form... Same goes for art. Individual pieces can have agendas and even that is debatable, I think, considering that you can't really objectively assign meaning to subjective forms.
I'll try to think of some covers I like sometime in the near future.
Very fair point. :redface:
I'll revise my former comment by saying that, to me, "Careless Whisper" holds a lot of emotion, and the cover did the emotion little justice. I personally feel like this song definitely has a destination point, but in this form, it is lost. Whether or not that's "okay" is up to the individual. I'm not a fan of that specific sound and it's relation to the lyrics, so I am inclined to dislike this cover.
