For some reason, action movie star Vin Diesel has released a poppy EDM song called ‘Feel Like I Do’ and The internet has responded fast and furiously. Internet Today covered the entire reoccurring trend of established actors recording music. They covered the odd debut of the song the ‘Kelly Clarkson Show’ with a virtual audience and how the song is just weird.

Usually I try to come up with something cool to say here to set up the playlist, but what do I even need to say about Trent Reznor? He is a LEGEND, a hall of famer, and the best thing to ever come out of Cleveland! Take that Lebron James. Oh, and he is one Tony award away from the EGOT. Lets dig in to some essential NIN tracks.
There are songs that never fail to just rip your heart straight from your chest. This is one that does it to me in all it’s beautiful versions.
Nothing Compares 2 U was written and composed by Prince for for his side project, The Family, in 1985.
It was later made famous by Sinéad O’Connor, whose cover was released as the second single from her second studio album, I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got in 1990. Who can forget the iconic real tear-filled video…
Prince released his own rendition of Nothing Compares 2 U with Rosie Gaines on vocals in 1993.
Chis Cornell did an incredible cover back in 2015.
And shortly after recorded with his 12 year old daughter Toni who shared the song for father’s day in 2018 and donated $20K from the proceeds to the International Rescue Committee, a humanitarian aid organization which provides refugees with support.
“Daddy, I love you and miss you so much. You were the best father anyone could ask for. Our relationship was so special, and you were always there for me. You gave me courage when I didn’t have any. You believed in me when I didn’t. I miss your love everyday. Recording this song with you was a special and amazing experience I wish I could repeat 100 times over and I know you would too. Happy Father’s Day daddy, nothing compares to you. – Toni”
Ugh my heart. What song rips yours out? Tweet me. <3 Lauren
Imagine being a teenager and before you even release an album your band starts getting compared to the Beatles. Then imagine that when you finally do release music, it really is absolutely incredible and somehow you live up to the nearly impossible expectations placed on you. Thats the story of the Arctic Monkeys. While they were instantly a “best band ever” in the UK, it took them a while to break through to US audiences but with a little help from Josh Homme of QOTSA, they are here to stay. I love this band, here are a few of my favorite tunes.
