Hey there kiddo! So, have you ever heard of a cover version? No? Don’t worry, I’ll explain!
When someone sings or plays a song that was originally made by someone else, it is called a cover version. It’s like when you draw a picture that looks like someone else’s.
Imagine you have a song that you really love, but you hear someone else singing it differently. That person has made a cover version of that song. It's like an artist re-painting a painting that was made by someone else.
Sometimes, covers can sound very similar to the original, but sometimes they can sound quite different. It's like when you make a drawing of a house with a red roof, and your friend makes a drawing of the same house, but with a green roof.
People make cover versions for lots of different reasons. Sometimes they just want to show how much they love the song, or sometimes they want to make it sound fresh and new.
That's it! Did that help you understand what a cover version is?
