“Iris” is my favorite song of all time and, as such, I’ve never cared for any covers of it...until now
It’s the only attempt at the song (including live performances by the Goo Goo Dolls) that solved the problem of what to do with the instrumental break without an orchestra
yeah. it’s decent. listening as soon as i woke up, still being a bit sleepy, probably wasn’t the best choice
cover rules. love that pheebs kinda changed the melody a bit in the first verse, made it sound more like one of her songs
can't stop listening to this. i listened to maggie's record from a couple of years ago or whenever and liked it a bit but it didn't really stick. gonna have to revisit it, her verse on this destroys me. edit: the album came out last year. fuck off 2020 lol.
Yeah I love this. I grew up listening to The Goo Goo Dolls and they were one of my first shows so it’s cool to hear this version. I’ve never been able to get fully into Maggie Rogers but I really hope she does some folky/Americana type stuff in the future, she has a great voice.
If anyone is looking for another beautiful cover of Iris, Snail Mail and Soccer Mommy covered it last year when I saw them in Chicago and it was awesome.
