Country Star Lainey Wilson Covers the Beatles' ‘Come Together' and People Are Surprised by How Much They Like It
Yesterday, Apple Music posted a video of country star singing her take on "Come Together" by the Beatles as a part of Apple's Music Sessions. The comments of the video are filled with people who were originally skeptical of the cover, only to be whole-heartedly won over.
"Singer and songwriter @laineywilson performs a special rendition of 'Come Together' by the Beatles for #AppleMusicSessions. Listen on Apple Music," reads the caption of the Instagram post.
Lainey's twang is on full display in her version of the famous song. Her fringe jacket, cowgirl hat, and boots all punctuate the difference between the original song and the country singer's take.
"He roller-coaster, he got early warnin'/ He got muddy water, he one mojo filter/ He say, one and one and one is three/ Got to be good-lookin' 'cause he's so hard to see/ Come together, right now/ Over me," she sings.
Many fans agree, the country rendition suits the song surprisingly well."Never thought I would like a remake of come together…amazing!!!" commented one Instagram user.
"Never heard a cover of this song that I liked," wrote another fan. "Until now 🌟"
The Wrangler brand also agreed—"Didn't know we absolutely needed this version," they commented.

Legendary Rocker, 76, Nears Final Show as Wife Attends Emotional Tribute
Legendary Rocker, 76, Nears Final Show as Wife Attends Emotional Tribute originally appeared on Parade. Sharon Osbourne stepped out in a rare appearance to attend a Black Sabbath art exhibit just days ahead of husband Ozzy Osbourne's final show. Sharon looked stylish in a cream pantsuit with a black shirt as she posed beside a large poster of Ozzy displayed at the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery in photos shared by The Sun on June 25. The exhibit focusing on Black Sabbath launched the same day as Sharon's appearance, and it costs nothing for fans to visit. Along with the poster, it includes several pieces of original memorabilia like album art, stage outfits, Tony Iommi's guitar iterations, Ozzy's iconic crucifix, rare photos and more. The former X Factor judge's outing comes just days before Black Sabbath's final show, Back to the Beginning, which is set for July 5 in Birmingham, England. Birmingham is Ozzy's hometown and is widely considered the birthplace of heavy metal. This will be the first time in 20 years that Ozzy, Tony, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward have performed together. Despite his Parkinson's Disease and ongoing spinal issues, Ozzy said that he's 'giving 120 percent.' The concert will serve as a charity benefit and the proceeds are supporting Cure Parkinson's, Birmingham Children's Hospital and Acorns Children's Hospice. 'If my God wants me to do the show, I'll do it. I haven't done any physical work for the last seven [or so] years,' Ozzy said on his show SiriusXM's "Ozzy Speaks" on May 28. 'By hook or by crook, I'm gonna make it there. I've got this trainer guy who helps people get back to normal. It's hard going, but he's convinced that he can pull it off for me. I'm giving it everything I've got.' Sharon has been the one to orchestrate her husband's farewell concert and will include a lineup of some of the biggest metal bands in history like Metallica, Guns 'N Roses, Alice in Chains and more. Shortly after the show was announced, Sharon told the BBC that this show will be Ozzy's 'full stop.'

Legendary '80s Metal Band Honors Black Sabbath With Epic ‘War Pigs' Tribute
Legendary '80s Metal Band Honors Black Sabbath With Epic 'War Pigs' Tribute originally appeared on Parade. Legendary '80s metal band Judas Priest have released a cover of Black Sabbath's iconic 'War Pigs' as a tribute to the band ahead of their final concert. "We are honored to show our love for Ozzy and Black Sabbath with our homage to 'War Pigs,'" the group said in a statement released alongside the cover. "[It's] a song we play at every show around the world that fans sing along to – reinforcing their love as well for the legendary Prince of Darkness.' Black Sabbath's original lineup – Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward – is set to perform together for the first time in over 20 years this weekend, and several other big names will take the stage, too. Guns N' Roses, Metallica, Slayer, Pantera and more are on the bill as well. Judas Priest, however, weren't able to make the show, as they had already committed to the 60th anniversary concert for German hard rock legends Scorpions. 'I had no idea it was happening!" Judas Priest lead singer Rob Halford told Metal Hammer in May. "We've known this guy, Ossy Hoppe – he's like God in Germany for metal. He came in to see me at one of our last shows and says, 'Would you consider doing something really special and important? I'm putting on the Scorpions for their 60th anniversary, in their hometown. Would you work with the band?' And I was just like, 'Done! We've got no plans, it's all good.'' He continued, 'It all got announced and was a big deal — Scorpions and Priest — and suddenly I get this phone call [from Sharon Osbourne]: 'Robbie, I know you've got this gig with Scorpions, but could you consider coming over to do a thing with Ozzy and the guys? He'd love to see you.'' While Halford considered the idea of flying from Germany to Black Sabbath's farewell was technically possible, he deemed the idea to be too 'dangerous.' 'Even with a private plane, there's a word called 'technical', where something could go wrong, or the weather that time of year could cause problems,' Halford added. 'I was absolutely gutted.'

The #1 Unexpected Trick to Feeling Happy—Even When the Odds Are Stacked Against You originally appeared on Parade. Parade aims to feature only the best products and services. If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission. These days, there's a lot of chatter about genuine contentment versus simply the appearance of happiness. "Instagram vs. reality" has even become a popular social media caption and theme, with some users poking fun at the curated aspect of the feeds we follow and post ourselves. For many of us, it can be difficult to truly feel happy when various aspects of our lives are challenging, and/or when we're unable to get something we really want—such as a clean bill of health, a new car, deeper relationships with friends, an updated wardrobe, more affordable childcare or any other desire that's currently out of reach for whatever instead of being honest about how we're feeling (whether it's rooted in not wanting to complain or trying to keep up appearances), inauthenticity or toxic positivity takes its place. However, true happiness is rooted in something deeper than your circumstances—even though our society might disagree."Our society has lied to us about what happiness is and how we should pursue it. That's the topic of my forthcoming book, New Happy," author and well-being expert Stephanie Harrison tells Happy: Getting Happiness Right in a World That's Got It Wrong shuts down common falsehoods about happiness—like having to be perfect, focusing on achievement and success, and doing it all solo. After a 10-year journey of studying positive psychology, Harrison is here to share one unexpected trick to feeling happy, as well as other top recommendations for habits that make a difference in true aims to feature only the best products and services.

"The best way to increase your own personal happiness is to help someone else to be happy!" she tells that this is the top trick? You're not alone. "It always surprises people when I share this advice, largely because of the way that our society has misled us as to the sources of happiness," Harrison shares. "I call this Old Happy: the messages that we receive about what we need to do and who we need to be in order to find happiness, as well as the culture we have built that enforces them." According to Harrison, these messages include: "You need to improve and perfect yourself." "You need to achieve more and more." "You need to be completely independent and do everything on your own." "Helping other people violates these Old Happy messages, and that's why it's surprising," she explains. "In fact, helping others is scientifically proven to benefit our well-being, it connects us to one another, and it's how we find a greater purpose in life."Related: "There are a lot of joyful moments in our day (of peace, of connection, of excitement and of beauty), but we often miss them," Harrison shares. "Make a note when something goes right and try to really allow any positive emotions to fill you up." "Old Happy culture teaches us that it's our end achievements that matter most for happiness, but what's far more important is that we acknowledge our daily efforts," explains Harrison. "If you respond in a new way, stand up for your boundaries, try something new or make progress towards a goal—celebrate it! It's also wonderful to do the same for others; we all need recognition for our hard work."Related: "Some studies have found that spending just fifteen minutes in nature can lower your cortisol levels," Harrison says. "Reconnecting to nature also helps us to rediscover our interconnectedness with others and the world around us." Up Next:Stephanie Harrison is the creator of the New Happy philosophy. Her work has been featured in publications such as CNBC, Fast Company, Forbes and Harvard Business Review. She is the founder of The New Happy, a company that helps individuals, companies and communities apply this philosophy in their lives.
