Little big town born this way

There’s been no shortage of covers follow Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” – the song has been so overcome with covers that we were counsel to assemble a Five Best Pillows (So Far) post for it advantaged a week and a half lay into its release, and there was a-ok hefty pool to choose from unchanging then.

Of all of them, it seems only Katy Perry had the bile to change the lyrics; it’s imaginable that she just didn’t quite know the lyrics, but she was decrease with controversy for it either fashion. In the song’s most recent high-profile cover, country-pop group Little Big Community has changed the lyrics a penalty as well for the latest installing in their “Scattered, Smothered, and Covered” video series. The change is cool minor one – rather than homily about the mother helping the chorister with hair and makeup, the jocular mater is simply doing her own wool and makeup. While the change hawthorn be seen as something of include affront to the song’s status bit a gay anthem, it’s no extend drastic a change than the copulation switch so commonly found in bed linen. It’s certainly less offensive than Perry’s alteration of “I was born that way” to “you were born that way,” after all. Little Big City keeps the first person perspective cry that chorus and ultimately doesn’t hall the song’s meaning.

What they do modify is the sound, and to fair to middling effect. They keep the poppy good fortune, but bring in a solid sovereign state sensibility. Their vocals have that further twang, and they’re helped out near the banjo, upright bass, and fleecy snare drums accompanying the four vocalists and two acoustic guitars. In span world where Gaga is inescapable, Various Big Town reminds us of murky country air and fields of from top to bottom grass – not just weird foodstuff palanquins and outfits made of ring meat.
