So, my boyfriend is a huge Rick Astley fan. He’s been obsessed with his cover of “There Is a Light That Never Goes Out” from Glastonbury. Naturally, I started listening to it too because it’s always playing when he’s around.
A few days ago, he casually mentioned that the song is actually a cover, and he introduced me to the original by The Smiths. Let me just say, it was like a whole new world opened up for me. I’ve been listening to the entire "The Queen Is Dead" album on repeat, and I can’t get enough.
It’s kind of cool how music you love can lead you to discover even more amazing artists. Has anyone else had this experience of falling in love with the original after hearing a cover first? I'd love to hear your stories!
