Heardle answer for May 26
Heardle
A true ‘80s classic that has not only been covered by Cash, but a bunch of other artists, including Placebo and Garbage (let’s not mention that other guy).
It didn’t click for me at first. I didn’t recognize the opening harmonic notes. But as soon as I heard the “Reach out, touch faith” lyric, it was a cinch. If only the Heardle preview lasted a little longer and into the first verse, since the first line there has the name of the song in it. That would have made things a lot easier.
Enjoy “Personal Jesus” in full below:
