^^ Technically a cover and live mash-up, so I'm not sure it really fits this theme.

No that's fantastic. Open ended interpretation of thread theme but I started with stripped down songs that happen to strengthen the beauty of the underlying melody.

Oh and the Stevie Nicks is enchanting.

Ooh, that 'One Thing' is gorgeous. Slowed-down acoustic R&B covers are generally kinda a lazy treatment imo, but there's so much going on in the original that it's really good to hear the vocal line pulled out alone like that.

Curt Boettcher's demo of "Another Time", later recorded by Sagittarius and re-recorded by Boettcher himself

This is the definitive version of this song for me. The orchestration and guitar wankery on the album version basically ruins it
