how would you define Cover then? Of course it is also a new version of a song, but since EVERYTHING (music, vocals etc) is changed, it is a cover ... whereas a new version keeps either (like my example, which keeps the vocals)
more over, a new version does not require the artist to lift a finger
a cover on the other hand rolls out a new process of recording, thinking about arrangments, sometimes even twisting the lyrics

For me, walk ~to the future~ is a new version of walk, not a cover.
And I go with the definition of cover by wikipedia: "In popular music, a cover version or cover song, or simply cover, is a new performance or recording of a previously recorded, commercially released song by someone other than the original artist or composer."
I mean, for me it's just a cover if it's sung by someone other than the original artist. In my mind, it's impossible for an artist to cover oneself, it sounds crazy for me that idea hahaha
