I know I know. I’m probably one in the minority here, but I’ve always loved CC’s take on Big Yellow Taxi. For me it’s incredible how a band who lives and dies by personal interpretation and the most visceral of human emotions would seek to cover such a song in such a contemporary/upbeat way. IMO adam sounds great on the studio version of the record and vanessa carlton -although she’s kinda just there for shits and giggles- makes the song better align with its connotations of bringing about a more content world or whatever.
