By deep I mean with the most obscure original. I am not talking ‘all along the watch tower’ but things like Fever Ray’s cover of Vashti Bunyan’s song Here before

Fever Ray is relatively well known while Bunyan had very limited success

    “Torn,” by Natalie Imbruglia (1997) was originally written by Ednaswap and recorded in 1995—which, imo, is better. However, even though they wrote it, it was first recorded in 1993 by danish band, Lis Sørensen, who titled it “Brændt,” which means “Burned.”

    Bonus! “The State I’m In” a song from Ednaswap’s first album, was covered by Sinéad O’Connor for her 2000 album Faith and Courage.
