My essay on Cry Cry Cry’s cover of R.E.M.’s “Fall On Me,” is part of the extracurricular essay series for March Xness 2022: March Faxness.

March Xness is an annual music essay tournament. The 2022 theme was all about cover songs.

“A song often starts as something else. A different riff, a different intention, its past still at least a little bit palpable. Kinda like life.”
