I found out my favorite song from a certain band was a cover. Specifically, it's Hounds of Love by The Futureheads. It's kind of a shame, their album has become so much less than I thought. Not to say the rest of the album is bad, but Hounds of Love was always a huge standout for me. It's really the lyrics that make the song, so to find out they're not original is such a detractor.
The original is by Kate Bush, a fairly popular English singer/songwriter. I've had one of her songs that I liked for a while but this revelation prompted me to get the album. It's damn good. As for the original Hounds of Love, it's leagues above The Futureheads.
