My rule for covering Bruce: Be different or be great.
Sympathy and the Lion, a duo out of Lancaster, PA, does both.
Words can’t describe how much I love their cover of “Glory Days,” so just take a listen. I’ve never heard the song arranged like this before (or since).
And just like that, an 80s arena showpiece is transformed into an intimate, aching, truly nostalgic ballad.
I think Bruce would approve.
Let’s hope we hear from these guys again.
A wonderful and complimentary arrangement. Totally nails the feeling of the theme in a dreamy fog of emotion. Nicely done.
Another great cover with a minimalist arrangement is a slow acoustic version of Radio Nowhere https://youtu.be/2hrCq0stOmA
