Mind Games - Covers FV

I'm playing those mind games together.  I had just recently finished reading Sinead O'Connor's memoir and was listening to some of her music. I really loved her cover of John Lennon's Mind Games and wanted to start off a new covers mix with that song as the title track.

The hard part was finding songs I hadn't used yet in a covers mix that could possibly follow her version of that classic song. I was looking for a certain feel and now this is it which I just completed after a little tweaking.
