Eternal’s Cover of “Someday”
The credit roll version of “Someday” on the UK release of Hunchback of Notre was performed by Eternal. Eternal is another R&B group from the 90s. Their rendition has more convention instrumental. Again this song has that 90s twinge to it, that is hard to over look. Again they have that classic 90 vocalization. However it’s well sung and like All 4 one, it’s a heartfelt performance. Eternal’s Rendition is less gentle than All 4 One and has more power in the vocals.
The biggest problem with it, is the video. They re-create the Feast of Fools complete with jugglers and a Clopin double. However this just doesn’t work.
“Someday” is a heartfelt song about a hope for the betterment of humanity, so why am I seeing a cheap renaissance fair in the background. Also I don’t think their costumes fit in with the whole Ren-faire thing either. When I think of early Renaissance/Late Medieval, I don’t think of blue jump suit but to each their own. I’m also not a big fan of the hard cut of film. So good cover, bad video.
