Bellsaint has created a haunting version of Losing My Religion. I don't think anyone can truly say this version is better than REM's original. However, Bellsaint has taken a unique spin on this old classic which transcends the concept of "cover" to become its own brilliant song. For me, I'll listen to the original REM song when I want the gritty and off-beat 1990's feel, and I'll listen to Bellsaints version when I want melodic and haunting experience. This newer version by Bellsiant is distinct enough to allow one to listen to both versions back to back without any boredom or feeling of repletion. I don't know much about Bellsaint's other releases, but I love this particular song, which is why I added it to my digital music collection.
