I’ve been super busy this spring break writing my senior thesis, and as such I have listened to a boatload of music. I finally got the chance to listen to Steven Wilson’s album of covers from 2014 (released throughout his solo career), Cover Version. To be honest, I’m unfamiliar with all of these songs, but the first track, “Thank You,” originally by Alanis Morissette, really stood out to me. The music is so simple, but Wilson’s delivery of the lyrics is amazing… emotional… beautiful. It is simultaneously melancholic and hopeful.

Thank you, Mr. Wilson.
