It was only last year when I stumbled across Leo Moracchioli, the Norwegian wonder kid, publishing one amazing metal cover after the other since at least seven years. Leo is not just a most complete musician, he also is quite creative when it comes to videos and besides that he seems to have a good humor. When tackling a new cover, he makes everything on his own, every instrument, mixing, editing. There are some exceptions where he has a guest musician, but mostly it’s Leo pure. I admire this guy and he keeps thrill me with his versions of some of the best songs, every written.
I want to dedicate him the whole week, sharing my favourite covers by him, starting with Aerials, originally from System Of A Down. Most of the songs, I very much like the original version as well of course. This is one though, where I in fact like Leo’s version way much better. Also a great video. What an artist.
Life is a waterfall
We’re one in the river
And one again after the fall
Swimming through the void
We hear the word
We lose ourselves
But we find it all?
‘Cause we are the ones that want to play
Always want to go
But you never want to stay
And we are the ones that want to choose
Always want to play
But you never want to lose
Aerials in the sky
When you lose small mind
You free your life
Life is a waterfall
We drink from the river
Then we turn around and put up our walls
Swimming through the void
We hear the word
We lose ourselves
But we find it all?
‘Cause we are the ones that want to play
Always want to go
But you never want to stay
And we are the ones that want to choose
Always want to play
But you never want to lose…
