Amy's done a lot of great covers and makes them her own. I mean Tourniquet from Fallen is a cover and she reinvented that song, making it listenable and good. I'm an extreme metal fan since my teens but the original is absolute trash to me.
I enjoy Bjork, and I'm a fan of some of her music. Blissing Me would be a good one to cover. It has vocal features but Amy can just do it solo. I'd like to hear a piano or acoustic guitar cover of it.
Yes, Blissing Me! Ooh, I never considered a piano version - that would be really different. My first instinct was harp, as Amy can play it, but I think her cover would be better if it were more of a departure from the original
Play Dead has always reminded me of early Evanescence, so yes I can definitely see that!
Hyperballad would be amazing - I almost put that on my list. Especially if Amy did it something like how Bjork performed it during the Orkestral tour 😍
Omg pagan poetry; I wish.
With her picking a more old school bjork song to cover in the first place, I would assume she would cover something from post, Homogenic, or vespertine. Amy Lee/evanescence is my first music love, And Bjork is one of my all time favorite artists. I would be happy with anything if it was done well. I do think the expectations/stakes would be quite high. There may be a reason her joga cover was never released.
I love Bjork! Im so glad Amy does too and I’d love to hear her version of Joga. I feel like I could hear her singing Human Behavior. It sounds perfect in my head!
It would be awesome if she covered something from Vulnicura, such as Black Lake, Family, Lionsong or Mouth Mantra. I think it would fit perfectly with her voice.
I agree. Mouth Mantra she would especially kill, imo.
I think the others, namely Family and Black Lake, are a tad too experimental? Like I struggle to imagine how Amy would make those her own, but I'm sure if she did I'd be pleasantly surprised!
Exactly, that’s why I’d love to see her cover these ones!
I imagine her dark voice, like from The Open Door, singing powerful songs such as Black Lake and Family. I just don’t think she would relate to the lyrics nowadays 😅 Also, Amy seems to be kinda into experimental stuff, given what she did with Aftermath soundtrack and Synthesis (Vulnicura is an album with strong chords, such as Synthesis).

Yeah, to change the instrument and put her style on it. I'd love to hear that or any of the ones you mentioned in your OP would be good too.
Could you link the original version of Tourniquet?
It was by a local Christian death metal band called Soul Embraced. It's on YT: https://youtu.be/saySN4YGLKY?si=VxYBdEiGeAeLl5rO
I really like the idea of Play Dead, Joga, Pagan Poetry and Hyperballad.

As a Björk fan, I love this post! - Army of me - Jóga - Bachelorette - It’s not up to you - So Broken - Play Dead - Lionsong
Omg I love the idea of Amy doing Lionsong. And Bachelorette would be so powerful
yeeees
Pagan poetry
I’m a huge fan of the album “biophilia” and “Crystalline” is such a jam
Yesss - maybe Virus or Mutual Core as well.
Army of me. I'd melt on the floor if she sang that
I think Earth Intruders would be fun and I just know that she would put a really unique spin on it kinda like Push The Button vibes.
I always thought Amy would make a gorgeous cover of possibly maybe and hyper ballad.
I love Bjork! Im so glad Amy does too and I’d love to hear her version of Joga. I feel like I could hear her singing Human Behavior. It sounds perfect in my head!
Wait.... Human Behavior 👀 You might be onto something

She would CRUSH a cover of Wanderlust. I’ve been hoping she would cover any bjork song for so long 😭😭😭
Omg, yes, I never thought of this, but you're so right! It would suit Amy so well. I can basically hear it already ahah
Anything from the album “Post!”
