Freedom or Death - "Sober" (Pink cover)
Less about strings than the original, and more about organ, post-rock style guitar, vocal harmonies, and layered percussion. With smooth, layered vocals, Freedom or Death turn the original's raw anguish into more of a cool detachment. It's a relaxed chill against the burn of the song's subject matter. While Pink's version relies on her powerhouse vocals, Freedom or Death put the emphasis on their production; the mix of massive drums, melancholic guitar, and the undertow of sinister synth embodying the sentiment originally expressed in the vocals.
