Hello Music lovers,
A few weeks ago I teased you all about a great old-timey cover of the Tears for Fears song featured in my favorite video game, Bioshock Infinite. I got so many requests to post it, and I apologize it took this long! I just had plenty of stuff already planned out in advance.
The song is a bit of an Easter egg. The game features various time periods, parallel universes, and quantum physics, so its all a little complicated to explain. After hearing a brief clip of the original recording, you can stumble upon a phonograph playing this vintage version after the artist copied it into their own universe.
Like I said, its complicated to explain! But its really fun to listen to and honestly this cover stands up on its own, the upbeat piano playing is really cool.
PS: RIP Prince. I'll do a proper sendoff next week.
Pleasant Watching,
-Khalil

To keep with the 1910s theme for the game, BioShock Infinite creators got this guy from PostModern Jukebox to arrange this piano version of the Tears for Fears version.
