Antony shows that no harm came to his cover of "Here Comes The Sun"

There is something about the Beatles that makes you think that they are uncoverable, that their coat of artistic armor is so thick that no other voice could do the band justice. And while sometimes that is oh so right, there are also times when people put on their best and bring something new to the table. Nina Simone's version is one of those moments and that is exactly what Antony of Antony & the Johnsons pulled from when creating his own spin on the Beatles' classic. It's a tender optimism and the choice of a soft tone, instead of the original's sparkle, is what makes it appear as more than just your average cover.
