While it's easy to create a basic acoustic cover of most pop songs, it's difficult to create a version unique enough to stand on its own.
When done correctly, however, a great acoustic cover can give us an entirely new take on a melody we already know and love.
That's why we put together this Music Monday playlist full of acoustic covers that just may be better than the originals.
So kick back, throw on these chill tunes and enjoy the long summer days while we still have them.

How to Share Your Song With Us
1. To follow Mashable on Spotify, click here. If a popup window asks you to launch an external application, accept. This just means the browser will open up Spotify.
2. Follow Mashable, or send us music by clicking "Send Music."
3. To send music while browsing tracks within Spotify, follow the MashableHQ account. Then right-click (ctrl + click) on the song you want to send, and click the "Share" option.
4. By default, Spotify pulls up the "Post to Feed" option. Instead, select the "Send to Friend" tab, type in "MashableHQ" and hit the blue "Send" button.
If "MashableHQ" doesn't show up when you're trying to send a track, make sure you're following the account. If you're still having problems sending a song after that, let us know in the comments, below, and we'll help you fix the problem.
