Cover: Philosopher Kings, "Cry"



I think the Philosopher Kings' take on Godley & Creme's tune is one of those cases where the cover severely outdoes the original. The first version is a good song, haunting and hurtful in its way, but Jarvis Church's 90s band pumps it up into a danceable bit of soulful pain. They wring out hooks that are only slightly in the original and help it reach its full potential.
