You feel old when.........the songs you grew up listening to in the '80's are being covered by artists only in their twenties. You won't find me sulking over this issue being that my two favorite things have just collided creating brilliant music! Who doesn't love the '80's??? So I say a big "THANK YOU" to these artists for bringing awesome back!
One of my favorite, thus far, is the cover "All Through The Night" by Sleeping At Last. This song was one of Cyndi Lauper's greatest hits released in 1984. While I absolutely love the original, Sleeping At Last provides a vulnerability to the song that might possibly leave one weeping...ok maybe that's just me.
Here is the original.

Next on the list is "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" covered by Lorde. This song, which I'm sure many of you know, was a Tears For Fears hit, released in 1985. This cover was on The Hunger Games: Catching Fire soundtrack. Lorde did an incredible job with this song making it, hands down, the best '80's cover in my book!

We all know this next song "Don't You Want Me" by The Human League. This song was released back in 1981. Young Summer recently recorded this cover and certainly did the song justice.

Bonnie Tyler's 1983 hit "Total Eclipse Of The Heart" was extremely popular in our household in the '80's so I was excited to have stumbled upon this cover by Sleeping At Last.

Happy "Throw Back Thursday" everyone!!!
