I've always thought 2 Becomes 1 would make a good lover's rock tune.

a while ago i mused that mavado could probably do a cracking cover of odyssey 'inside out'

it's an easy game to play with him though

he should also be part of a reformed ar kane, for example

practically there already tbf

check out jetstar's "pop hits inna reggae" series for similar btw

Always thought Pixies' Where is my mind? would make a good one if it hasn't been done yet.

Also Jackson Browne's These Days. Something by Al Green or Bill Withers?

couldn't immediately imagine the reggae groove for "where is my mind" then i thought: organ.

The intro is kind of dubby as it is, but "Open The Door" by Magnapop.

I was thinking of other Al Green songs like Tired of Being Alone or I'm Glad You're Mine. Let's Stay Together and I'm still in love have been covered many times before, right? He translates pretty good to reggae.

This is a better cover for Let's Stay Together.

there are lots of covers of ain't no sunshine as well.

Bee Gees "Every Christian Lionhearted Man"

this isn't an "idea" but I was sort of shocked to notice that this is more or less a "cover" of "It Might as Well be Spring" by Rodgers & Hammerstein

vampy weeks songs would work well in reggae form i think. so... oxford comma.

love that al green cover.

The gold standard for better than it should be:

Shellac 'Prayer To God'
