Ingrid Michaelson - "Creep (Radiohead Cover)"
This song is so iconic. It really held a genre of pop music in it’s hand and crystalized it. Emotional, painful, honest, and true, it was able to capture the essence of a generation.
This has always been my preferred version. Something soft and captivating about the raw honesty in the song just really makes it poignant. The original is amazing, including the video with Johnny Depp, but something about Ingrid’s lamenting voice is just right.
So today, looking through the window, I choose Ingrid Michaelson’s cover of Radiohead’s “Creep” as my, a little odd, artistic that one, careful you don’t want to catch it, song for a, maybe I am, sticks and stones, call me what you want - you’ll still just be you, Friday.
