It came as a surprise since entrance scholarships are supposed to be awarded at admission, hence at this late date I assumed I didn't get one. XD Covers tuition for this year which for a Quebec resident isn't really a huge amount, but there is never anything wrong with free money. XDD Will make going on exchange easier to finance, at least.

So why is LWTUA one of *the* songs that gets covered the hell out? Hallelujah is another one, but I've already read explanations on that phenomenon so I know, but... what's the case with LWTUA?

Congrats on the scholarship! *fireworks!*

[livejournal.com profile] jokersama has a link on it below, but to me it's just one of those mysterious things. Like, David Bowie's had tons of hits and acclaimed albums over the course of a 40-year career, but the only Bowie song you hear on rock radio regularly is "Heroes". Why that one? One's hard pressed to say it's that much better than all his other great songs. I think it must be something like the power rule at work: once a song's been covered a few times, it becomes the song by that act to cover in people's minds, and then it snowballs. Or maybe it's the easiest tune in the band's catalogue to sing XD (certainly the case of "Teardrop", another one that was mentioned).

Here is an explanation (http://myoldkyhome.blogspot.com/2006/05/love-will-tear-us-apart.html) of the LWTUA phenomenon, as well as just about every cover in existence. Didn't actually see if the links still worked, but hey, it's a list to shoot towards! :D

Congrats on the scholarship!
