Some suggestions:
Biffy Clyro - Many of Horror
Faith no more - I started a joke
The Cure - Prayers for rain (although a bit instrumentally heavy)
Nine Inch Nails - Hurt
I hate it when people modify a quote and say fixed, but I had to fix this.
Trent Reznor:
"I pop the video in, and wow... Tears welling, silence, goose-bumps... Wow. [I felt like] I just lost my girlfriend, because that song isn't mine anymore... It really made me think about how powerful music is as a medium and art form. I wrote some words and music in my bedroom as a way of staying sane, about a bleak and desperate place I was in, totally isolated and alone. [Somehow] that winds up reinterpreted by a music legend from a radically different era/genre and still retains sincerity and meaning — different, but every bit as pure."
I don't agree, but in that case, fixed.
The Johnny Cash version is so much better, I hate the NIN one
I think the opposite.The Johny Cash version is only liked because he is old and dying at that point.
