Don’t Look (Remain Idle Cover)

Cover day. Sigh. I’ve written about my angst surrounding cover day before, so I won’t repeat myself for once. This year, I had my favorite candidate from the day it first appeared and while several other fantastic possibilities appeared during the month, nothing ever knocked this song out of my top spot.

I wasn’t expecting anything to stick, much less stay frozen for long, but the buildup was surprisingly fast and by the time … Continue reading
