Covering a song I love is bittersweet. Inevitably, I’ll compare my version and the original, and the original will always win. But, what keeps motivating me to make covers is the wonderful education it provides me. (Yes, nerd alert.) Taking apart a song I love and refashioning it in my own way teaches me about the craft of songwriting, and it also helps me develop my producing, recording, and mixing chops. This song is Jessie Ware’s “Tough Love.” It has a beautiful melody with simple but elegant lyrics. I hope I haven’t destroyed it. 

And, as always, please “like” if you like. Digital fans are lovely.
