Song Cover Quotes

[My favourite song is] "All Along the Watchtower." The Jimi Hendrix cover.

When we did the 'Titanic' theme, that song was everywhere. At the time we did it, it wasn't an old song. We didn't really listen to that song. We're not fans of the song. It was more about taking the song everyone knew and making it sound like a New Found Glory track.

We do a cover of Charlie Puth's 'Attention' that I really, really love and I think really grooves.

Havin' Dylan cover one of your songs is like being a playwright and having Shakespeare act in your play.

"I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day," which I actually recorded on "Quality Street" because I don't think anyone has ever covered it before. You hear it every single Christmas, and it is a great record. That's by Wizzard.

I love Emmylou Harris's version of my song, 'Sweet Old World.' Her intonation is great.
