"I Melt with You" by Modern English is actually a dark, apocalyptic song about a couple making love while an atomic bomb drops during a nuclear war.

Blonde Maze - I Melt With You (originally Modern English )

[Verse 1]
Moving forwards, using all my breath
Making love to you was never second best
I saw the world crashing all around your face
Never really knowing it was always
Mesh and lace

[Chorus]
I'll stop the world and melt with you
You've seen the difference
And it's getting better all the time
There's nothing you and I won't do
I'll stop the world and melt with you

[Verse 2]
Dream of better lives
The kind which never hate
Trapped in a state of imaginary grace
I made a pilgrimage
To save this human's race
Never comprehending
The race had long gone by

[Chorus]
I'll stop the world and melt with you
You've seen the difference
And it's getting better all the time
There's nothing you and I won't do
I'll stop the world and melt with you

[Bridge]
The future's open wide
The future's open wide

[Chorus]
I'll stop the world and melt with you
I've seen some changes
But it's getting better all the time
There's nothing you and I won't do
I'll stop the world and melt with you

[Bridge]
The future's open wide
Hmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmm hmm

[Chorus]
I'll stop the world and melt with you
You've seen the difference
And it's getting better all the time
There's nothing you and I won't do
I'll stop the world and melt with you
I'll stop the world and melt with you
I'll stop the world and melt with you
I'll stop the world and melt with you
I'll stop the world and melt with you

It's a bit haunting but nice. This is how covers should be done. She made it hers, ..like when Johnny Cash covered Hurt by NIN.

@Jayciedubb I like haunting things. I think it’s a very subjective experience when it comes to covers. Personally I enjoy them more often than not. But the fact remains that a lot of what gets covered by people who are hobbyist musicians are just not up to par for the course. I have enjoyed listening to covers from people who are not professional musicians and who have a talent but it’s very rare to find someone who can do justice to the material. Artistic ability and talent are a scarce commodity for certain.
I’m just glad that you were interested enough to give it a listen. I post in hopes of finding just one person who feels enriched by the music that they might not have otherwise heard. ☺😊
