\n\tVera Blue has taken on one of alternative rock\u2019s most enduring songs, covering Radiohead\u2018s \u201cCreep\u201d for triple j\u2019s Like A Version.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Australian singer-songwriter stripped the 1992 track back to three elements \u2014 electric guitar, piano and vocals \u2014 building from the lower end of her range into a soaring falsetto by the chorus. Late in the performance she deployed The Pipe, a mouth-controlled dynamic effects processor and synthesizer made by SOMA Laboratory, adding an eerie texture to the arrangement. <\/p>\n

\n\tBlue said she was drawn to the song\u2019s emotional core, describing \u201cCreep\u201d as an \u201cepic rock song\u201d whose lyrics are also \u201cheartbreaking,\u201d and aiming for a \u201cvery haunting version\u201d that still nods to Thom Yorke\u2019s original.<\/p>\n
