5 days of Beatles covers - Day 1



When it comes to songwriting, John Lennon and Paul McCartney were the masters, and no one comes close. You can tell how good a song is, when it can be covered by someone else, and still sound great. Provided at least, the same arrangement is used... unlike that disturbing sample of Bobby Vinton's Mr Lonely in Akon's latest hit.

So this week, it's a tribute to the songs of Lennon and McCartney. Tunes previously recorded by the Beatles, reinterpreted by artists around the world.



Danielle Denin - Quand tu m'embrasse (I'm Looking Through You)

Lovely cover of one of my favourite Beatles songs. Besides this song, Danielle also covered 'Michelle'. If anyone has this track, do let me know! I'll love to hear it.
