If you’re new here then let me lay out how this works. For this series, which we’ve been doing infrequently for a little over five years now, I dig up three different covers of a beloved song and serve them up for your enjoyment. Emphasis on “different” because part of the fun is showcasing how artists that, in theory, are very different nonetheless share the same influences. We’ve done Served Three Ways for songs by Father John Misty, Drake, Oasis, and more.
We have three studio recorded versions of the tune including a somewhat orchestral take on the tune by Kishi Bashi; a shuffling, playful version by Sure Sure; and a sweeping, pensive version by The Lumineers.
And, if you’re looking for even more Naive Melody you can check out a few live versions of the tune by Car Seat Headrest & Naked Giants (a personal favorite), Arcade Fire, Iron & Wine, and MGMT. Honestly, some many people have tackled this tune that this collection just scratches the surface. Enjoy!
