I know this isn’t new but I cannot stop listening to Seether, a South African band, covering Careless Whisper by George Michael.
This is one of my alltime favourite songs for a very specific reason. Apparently when George Michael wrote this song he was about 17. That absolutely blows my mind. At about 17 he did more than most people will do in their entire lives. Astounding.
This cover, in my humble opinion, does the original song justice. Seether puts a huge amount of emotion in to the song. My favourite section:
“Tonight the music seems so loud, I wish that we could lose this crowd, maybe it’s better this way, we hurt eachother with things we wanna say.”
For some entertainment value I’ve added in the original song and music video from WHAM!

I love Seether! Check out this exclusive interview where the guys talk about their third studio album “Finding Beauty In Negative Spaces” and describe what fans can expect from a Seether show – a lot of energy, sweat and a good time: http://soundcheck.walmart.com/risers/seether

Just a correction, the Careless Whisper was not written by George but one of the very few written by Andrew Ridgley his Wham partner. Great track…goose bumpy!
