I Already Know How This Thing Goes



At first I thought this was just a whack cover but at about 40 seconds in, the beat drops and the song picks up a bit. Typically, I like it when songs build up, but in this case The Fray could have done better by just starting off strong. I also think the song could have used that running, airy flute-line that provided the "head nod" in the original, but all in all this is a pretty solid cover. I still prefer Kanye's version but against all odds The Fray have put together a much, much better video than the original. The animation is amazing and it completely brings to life the imagination of someone doodling and day-dreaming in class.
