Cover #36: Low covers "Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me" by The Smiths

 It's not easy to cover The Smiths.  The gallery of truly good Smiths covers is meager, and I'm not exactly sure why.  This cover by Low is a good effort- they strip off the superfluous intro (isn't it super obvious that The Smiths turned in this uneven final album to satisfy the record company?) and remake the song into a very quiet, somber lament.  The vocal delivery is magnificent, and the mid-song dramatic change adds emotion rather than distraction.  I wish the recording quality was higher, but I'll take it.  ✅✅✅✅
