Abou Antoun Abou Antoun 15 mars 2016 10:25

@franck milo
Voici une liste complète des reprises :

  • In 1983 Dutch singer Andre Hazes released a Christmas version of the song, with new, Dutch lyrics, called « Met kerst ben ik alleen ».
  • In 1984, two years after the song’s original release, the first cover version of « The Day Before You Came » was released by British synthpop duo Blancmange. The cover charted at No. 22 in the UK Singles Chart and was included on that year’s Mange Tout album. Blancmange’s version included a slight lyrical alteration. Instead of referencing novelist Marilyn French as the ABBA original does, Blancmange singer Neil Arthur sang « I must have read a while, the latest one by Barbara Cartland or something in that style ».[1] In a live version, Arthur also sang « shame » instead of « aim », implying a complex sexual relation to come.
  • British singer/songwriter Tanita Tikaram covered the song on her 1998 album The Cappuccino Songs.
  • A dance cover by ABBAcadabra was released by Almighty Records during the late 1990s. An audio sample can be heard on the official Almighty Records page.[53]
  • UK indie band Jacques covered the song for their 2000 album To Stars.
  • Dutch singer Sarah Fairfield included a cover of the song on her 2004 debut album Green.
  • Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree covered the song on the second release of his Cover Version series in 2004.
  • Swedish opera singer Anne Sofie von Otter covered the song on her 2006 ABBA tribute album I Let The Music Speak.
  • British « antique beat » band The Real Tuesday Weld covered the song on the 2007 compilation album Backspin : A 6 Degrees 10 Year Anniversary Project.
  • In 2011, classically trained pianist Mark Northfield did a six-minute cover of the song. He "takes advantage of [the slower-than-usual tempo of the ABBA track] to draw out the song".[54]
