A Classic Reinvented

This weekend i was listening to my music when Sam Cooke's "A Change Gonna Come" came on. It is an unbelievable song. The lyrics, the orchestration and the voice are all perfect. If you haven't heard the song, go out and download it.

So I found a cover that is pretty awesome. The Cold War Kids perform the song regularly during concerts

Added Bonus!

At a Free Concert for Barack Obama, The Arcade Fire performed a cover of "A Change Gonna Come"


Edit: Now Better Video! Thanks Jack.

Enjoy!
