When a song gets inside my head, I find myself wallowing in it. Part of my wallowing is to scour YouTube for cover versions of the song, finding wonderful versions that people have recorded and uploaded. Here I have gathered together some that I&#8217;ve found and loved over the past few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve often thought that the fidelity of a recording isn&#8217;t as important as the performance. Despite some of these being recorded in unusual locations and on basic equipment, the quality of the music shines through. They all make me smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Erin Rae \u2014 Some Misunderstanding (originally by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=W1oGyxLtqok\">Gene Clark<\/a>)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center;
