I'm always keen to see how various covers of songs are done, and I reckon this one by Laura Zocca of Coldplay's "Paradise" is the best of the ones I've seen.

When she was just a girl,

Life goes on,

The wheel breaks the butterfly.

Every tear, a waterfall.

In the night, the stormy night,

Still lying underneath the stormy skies
