[Damien]

The original by The Smiths is a very sad song in it's own right, about a man or Morrissey expressing that a certain thing or experience would be good for him even though he's been dealt a rough hand of life. Morrissey's vocals are always amazing and even though the man's a little problematic, I think this song is a massive W. 10/10


The cover by Deftones keeps the same type of sadness, but through Chino Moreno's vocals, Deftones' guitar style, and their own post-production effects shows that they can give a grittier version of the same type of sadness. Deftones is always a W so this is an 11/10.
