I've always been kind of in-between on liking and disliking covers. When they are good, they can be amazing but sometimes it can be the same exact thing and just fall flat. The former applies to this version of "Rocket Man" by Steven Drozd and Maynard James Keenan.
Part of the genius in this rendition is the addition of the computer blip sound, which just makes it feel like an astronaut is floating around. The cover is a mix of an electronic song and some acoustic guitar. It really ends up feeling like a futuristic version of Elton John's original.
I love this...thanks for putting it on here, I never would have heard it otherwise!
