Probably the most famous Live Lounge is Leona Lewis who later released this as a single. While Snow Patrols original has an understated charm Leonas mesmerizing vocal control grabs your attention. Its hard to listen to this cover without getting shivers, the original live cover is significantly more goosebump worthy than the studio version later released. The way she feels this makes it hard to believe that she didnt write the song herself.
4. Bastille - Locked Out Of Heaven (Originally by Bruno Mars)
The newest cover on this list comes via Bastille who mashed up this Bruno Mars track. Slowing it down and adding violins (that sound a lot like Kanye and Jayzs Niggas in Paris) this track breaks down into XXs No Angels and more randomly Rihannas Diamond. Haunting and unrecognizable the newcomers put their stamp on the track making it more about love and less about awesome sex.
