Song: Unusual Covers of “Nothing Else Matters”

I think when talking about the song “Nothing Else Matters,” you don’t even need to name the performer. It’s hard to imagine anyone not knowing this — one of Metallica’s most famous and awesome songs. So this time I’m not even going to put a link to it here.

However! While roaming the internet, I came across two very interesting covers that differ strikingly from the original. And I found them so unusual that I decided to share them with you.

The first is a multi-voice performance by the Polish women’s group Tulia. It is both unmistakably Nothing Else Matters and at the same time has clear notes of Polish folk. I’m not sure I’d want to listen to this version every day, but the first time it definitely grabs your attention:

And the second cover is a fully a cappella version by VoicePlay. I’ve always loved a cappella renditions of any songs. But this one is done really well. The guys have gone far from the original, yet they’ve managed to preserve all of its beauty. And oh, what the bass does here! Be sure to listen until the moment he comes in (around 2:30). I literally got goosebumps. I don’t know how women react to men like this, but for a voice like that I’d give a lot!
