#day30 (!) of #30daysongchallenge - a song that reminds you of yourself

“I Love the Unknown” by #ClemSnide

This song became a mantra as I navigated unexpectedly switching jobs over the last few weeks. It’s always a good reminder that life is for living, even when you don’t always know your next step.

“Beautiful” (Cover by Clem Snide in 2003; originally by Christine Aguilera in 2002 )

https://youtu.be/x3fdYaPWZLU

Clem Snide is most commonly billed as an “alt-country” band named for a fictional William S. Burroughs character. Despite their “alt cred,” the band has never shied away from sentimentalism or popular songs - but according to lead singer Eef Barzelay, they only do tunes they genuinely like (even when that results in an entire album of Journey covers).

They didn’t wait long before grabbing Aguilera’s empowerment anthem “Beautiful,” nor were they alone. The tune (written by Linda Perry of 4 Non Blondes) has been covered something like a billion times, and it's almost always still pretty good. Few capture the honesty of this early version, however - maybe because the lads seem to genuinely mean it.

Keeping it a bit mellow(ish), but definitely melancholy (ish) with The Ghost of Fashion by Clem Snide.
