Emm Gryner: You Do Something To Me
Is this the best cover version I have? A simple (?) piano and vocal version of Paul Weller’s song which proves that just ‘cos you can wrote a song doesn’t mean that you’re the best person to perform it.
Some songwriters realise this and make careers out of writing for other people, or indeed, anyone that’ll have ‘em. All of this goes against my fiercely held views that a) if you write a song you should sing it, and b) if you can’t write songs you shouldn’t be anywhere near a music career. Emm Gryner does, of course, write songs.. obsessively so.
