One of the most popular songs of the first decade of the 00s, Because of You, by Kelly Clarkson, gets a version by Aline Happ that combines rock with pop and erudite vocals. The singer renews the pop hit adding instruments as a hybrid harp, a violin and a flute. The song is part of a series of reinterpretations that Happ performs on her YouTube channel, which already has versions of Rihanna, Linkin Park, Iron Maiden, and even, The Mandalorian. Some of the songs are also available on the most popular streaming and download platforms.
“This is a deep song that talks about someone who pulls you down, making you feel insecure and abandoned. But it also brings the message of hope, saying that despite all the bad feelings, you will not be like that person”, tells Aline Happ about the lyrics of Because of You.
Originally released in 2005 by Kelly Clarkson on her second album, Breakaway, Because Of You was the most played song in Brazil and was among the top 10 in the USA, Germany, Australia, Austria, Canada, Hungary, Ireland and the United Kingdom. The first version of the lyrics was written by Clarkson when she was 16, during her parents’ divorce, and talks about the emotional pain of a toxic relationship. In the music video, the American singer shows that even with the pain she feels, she will not repeat the same emotional abuses with her family.
The videos posted on Aline Happ’s channel are sponsored by her fans on Patreon.
