Cover Story: Never Tear Us Apart
Never Tear Us Apart began its life as a bluesy demo by INXS’s keyboardist and songwriter Andrew Farris. Frontman Michael Hutchence gave it lyrics, producer Chris Thomas gave it synthesisers, and the public gave it a place on every Australian Music best-of list. And the covers come from far and wide: you’ll hear English, American, Welsh, French and Lanarkshire accents amongst the covers. Andy’s guests are ABC Classic’s Alice Keath, and Double J’s Al Newstead. Every great song gets covered. Sometimes beautifully, sometimes badly, and sometimes by people who clearly should have known better. Cover Story, returning for its third series, hunts down the best, the worst, and the downright strange versions of classic songs, and asks the question: why does this version give us goosebumps while that one makes our skin crawl? Never Tear Us Apart Words by Michael Hutchence, music by Andrew Farris First performed by INXS On the album Kick, 1987 Versions heard in the show: Joe Cocker - Respect Yourself (2002) Tom Jones feat. Natalie Imbruglia - Reload (1999) The National - Songs for Australia (2020) The Ten Tenors - Wish You Were Here (2017) Courtney Barnett - Rehearsal Room Recording (2018) The Twilight Sad - single (2011) Paloma Faith - John Lewis Ad (2012) INXS with Ben Harper and Mylene Farmer - Original Sin (2010) Next time on Cover Story: The Beatles’ Can’t Buy Me Love.

Embracing the choir: Alina Pash returns to Ukraine and Kristina Olsen takes up choral composition
Alina Pash was last on the show back in 2021, before the Russian invasion of her country began. At that point, Pash said that she wanted to stay in Ukraine and be part of a strong emerging music scene there. Circumstances changed and Alina is now based in the USA, but she returned home last year with the Belgian-Canadian producer Apashe. Together, they recorded with local choirs in Kyiv, drawing on the traditional music of Ukraine to create something very modern. Singer-songwriter Kristina Olsen has been a regular guest on the Music Show over the years, playing folk, jazz, and blues. But her latest work sees her taking on a new challenge - choral compositions. With a suite of works inspired by the equinoxes and solstices, Olsen is connecting with local choirs on her latest tour across Australia. Kristina Olsen's full tour dates are available here Music heard in this program: Title: Winter Solstice Eve Artist: Kristina Olsen, Angie Doctor, Kim Scanlon, Ed Johnson, Avi Jacobson Composer: Kristina Olsen Title: Kyiv Artist: Apashe & Alina Pash Composer: Apashe & Alina Pash Album: Hymns of Resilience Label: Majestic Collective Title: Everest Artist: What So Not ft.

Cover Story: Wonderwall
A love song, a football anthem, and a weapon of war for men with acoustic guitars: Noel Gallagher said he thought Wonderwall was an annoying song when he wrote it. Cover Story dips more than a toe into the world of Britpop with composer and ex-Go-Between Amanda Brown, and conductor, composer and singer Dan Walker. Every great song gets covered. Sometimes beautifully, sometimes badly, and sometimes by people who clearly should have known better. Cover Story, returning for its third series, hunts down the best, the worst, and the downright strange versions of classic songs, and asks the question: why does this version give us goosebumps while that one makes our skin crawl? Wonderwall Words and music by Noel Gallagher First performed by Oasis On the album (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?, 1995 Versions heard in the show: The Mike Flowers Pops - single (1995) Cat Power - John Peel Session live at the BBC (2000) Bring Me the Horizon, single (2025) Paul Anka - Rock Swings (2005) Brad Mehldau - Brad Mehldau Trio Live (2008) Royal Philharmonic Orchestra - The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra Plays The Music of Oasis (1997) Ryan Adams - Love Is Hell (2004) The Killers - Live At Lollapalooza Chile (2018) Oasis - Live in Dublin August 2025 Next time on Cover Story: the nation’s favourite Australian song, Never Tear Us Apart by INXS. Technical production by Antonia Gauci The show this week was made on Gadigal, Gundungurra, and Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Country.
