Love roller coaster covered by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, originally by the Ohio players I think, unsure because there’s been a few covers, but RHCPs is the best. The problem is they did it for the movie Bevis and Butthead do America, and I’m now there are weird license rights so you can’t stream it, but can be found on you tube.

Kind of the opposite but "As the World Caves In". Most people know the cover by Sarah Cothran , but I think the original by Matt Maltese is way, way better.
It's a song about two people together at the end of the world, and while Sarah sings it mourning the loss of everything, Matt sings it as a love song. To me that's the much more powerful message, that when everything is burning down, the only thing that's left and all that really matters is being together with the person you love, and the only thing to mourn is that you won't have more time with them.
My absolute favorite is Hailstorm doing Daft Punks Get Lucky.
I also really like The Interrupters doing Bad Guy.
The Cleverlys have a lot of really good, over the top, bluegrass covers but I think my favorite might be Party Rock Anthem.
I could keep going on this subject for a while. I have a 12+ hour and growing playlist of nothing but covers that I really enjoy.

Joshua Ray Walker "Cuz I love you", his whole cover album really. The way he makes that Cher song into a country 2 step dance song is amazing.
Bob Schneider's cover of Running on Empty is haunting.
It's not so different but God I love the 9 minute November Rain by Connor Christian and the Southern Gothic.
Small town boy by Paradise Lost. https://open.spotify.com/track/0jfNgP8sP2tnOloYDw0HoM?context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A1lvVqodR4aT3R8WemeIgDN
The original is iconic, and there are almost too many covers of it to take it in. But Paradise Lost takes it in a different direction.
Same as Wicked Game by HIM. https://open.spotify.com/track/5XenUjG7cRnTkUe8AVuuMX
Jefferson Airplane- Wooden Ships
Ghost- If You Have Ghosts
Pilotredsun "Warsaw" Jazz fusion Cover by poruu.

The original is great, it takes simple Chiptunes and manages to convey a stunning range of emotion and movement.
This cover is fantastic because it takes what's at the core of the original and explores it even more, with varying loudness, instruments, ect.
It feels like the last warm august evening before going back to school.
It sounds like moving to a far away place in the search of opportunities.
It conveys the nostalgia of remembering your childhood friends with happiness, but also realizing that there's a great and unknown road ahead of you.
It gives you the comfort of knowing that every moment will pass, so you should enjoy it while it lasts and be hopeful for the future.
It's change, it's movement, it's nostalgia, it's hope, it's happiness, it's a bitter sweet end and a fresh beginning.
This cover gave me a lot of comfort and peace during difficult moments in my life and I can say with confidence that it far surpassed the original.
For as long as I've known it I've preferred the version of Ghost's Cerice done by Saint Raven, a much less known band out of Utah.
