"All My Mistakes" by The Avett Brothers (2007)

"Pink + White" by Frank Ocean (2016)
Although it's possible to read this song as a lament about loss, its warmth and dreamy production gives it an irresistibly romantic vibe. Frank Ocean has a rare ability to vocalize emotion in both surreal and immediate ways — in this case, penning a moving tribute to someone who showed him how to love.

"Baby I'm Yours" by Arctic Monkeys feat. 747s (2006)
Barbara Lewis' 1965 hit breathes new life in this cover — thanks in large part to the magic of Alex Turner's impossibly smooth vocals. While the Arctic Monkeys are more widely known for gritty, swaggering rock 'n' roll, this stripped-down B-side radiates an infectious starry-eyed energy.
