When Solon was in town a few weeks back, I rode with him and Harrogate to a local bar. A discussion of Beatles covers ensued. Generally speaking, we agreed that most fall short of their originals.
Here is one I prefer, though. It's a cover of "If I Fell," performed live by Adam Levine of Maroon 5. It's a beautiful song. For me, the cover works better than the original because the slightly slower tempo and stripped arrangement make it all the more intimate.

Harrogate finally listened to this, just now. And he agrees it is better.
Interesting, because this was never a Beatles song that Harrogate liked very much (a rarity, that!), but this version really brought out its lyric simplicity and beauty.
Well done, Oxy.
I love it.
