    I hope you never stop doing covers. Your approach to them is really honest, the work you all put into them is very visible, and they come off so polished. I'm not knocking your originals and I would never say to stop doing those, but if I'm being honest I really get a ton of enjoyment out of your takes on these covers. There is something to them that is paying respect to the originals while at the same time the nuance or little bit new take that you bring to them really makes them pop. What I'm trying to say is I have a ton of respect for how you make these songs your own without necessarily changing them very much. Just something in the way you perform them that really makes your covers special.
