When this video from actor-producer-writer Glover\u2019s alter ego Childish Gambino made its way to Garth Brooks and his own alter ego Chris Gaines, Brooks had this to say during Monday night\u2019s (Aug. 5) Inside Studio G live Facebook chat. \u201cIt\u2019s neat to see somebody that is so friggin\u2019 cool, and to hear him sing that with that kind of passion and love was very, very sweet. He not just covered it, he owned it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMusic is where we all come together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brooks is so right. Childish Gambino may be known more for his rap and R&amp;B, but somehow, this just works. And because this cover of \u201cLost in You\u201d on Like A Version \u2014 a cover-song segment on Australian radio station triple j \u2014 wasn\u2019t a straight-up country song, it feels like a natural fit.<\/p>\n<p>A brief history lesson on why this song wasn\u2019t really a country one:<\/p>\n<p>In 1999, Brooks released an album by his alter ego, Australian alt-rock singer Chris Gaines. \u201cLost in You\u201d was the first single Gaines released. It was written by Gordon Kennedy, Wayne Kirkpatrick, and Tommy Sims. And while Brooks\u2019 country fans didn\u2019t take to Gaines the way you might think zealous loyalists would, he eventually admitted that he and Gaines weren\u2019t all that different.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe closer you look, and the more you find out,\u201d he\u2019d said at the time, \u201cyou realize Chris Gaines <em>is<\/em> Garth Brooks. So all it is is a stretching of the arms.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"deferred_content\">Embedded from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pTV2sWObn94?feature=oembed\">www.youtube.com<\/a>. <noscript class=\"deferred_content\" data-deferred-info=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;iframe&quot;}\"><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pTV2sWObn94?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><\/noscript><\/div>\n<div class=\"author\">\n<div class=\"description\">Alison makes her living loving country music.
