Which one is your favorite? - L -

Here I am with the 50th "Which one is your favorite?" post. This week I will take you to the 80s with song from a band that I liked very much. Unfortunately, Mark Hollis, the writer of this song and the lead singer of the band who made it famous passed away last year.

Here is the song for this week;

"Life's What You Make It"

This is a song by the English band Talk Talk. It was released as a single in 1985, the first from the band's album The Colour of Spring. The single was a hit in the UK, peaking at No. 16, and charted in numerous other countries, often reaching the Top 20.

The song was one of the last to be conceived for The Colour of Spring, following concern from the band's management at the lack of an obvious single among accumulated work. Initially unwilling, Mark Hollis and Tim Friese-Greene, the principal source of original material for the band, accepted the task as a challenge.

The track appeared in the 2002 video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, where it plays on the fictional in-game pop radio station Flash FM.

Here are the 5 versions I picked for you;

• Duncan Sheik - "Life's What You Make It"

• Weezer - "Life's What You Make It"

• Zinoba - "Life's What You Make It"

• Placebo - "Life's What You Make It"

• Joan as a Police Woman - "Life's What You Make It"

Now the floor is yours, go ahead and make your comments (here, Instagram, Facebook wherever you feel like...).

nb. Please note that I intentionally do not include the original versions of the songs as it would be a little unfair to the artists covering the songs, and I am sure that sometimes you will be surprised to see that the songs you thought were the originals are just covers.
