LOVED. loved, loved and LOVED that Dire Straits cover. Played it 3 times over. I'm a big fan of theirs and this reminds me of a long standing request I have for a cover story. The musically challenged from Christoph was awesome too as usual, and this reminds me that I was planning to do one of these. Must open up Garageband soon…
BTW, When She Loved Me was on Toy Story 2. Even in the movie, sung by the doll, I found it very moving.
great! I love 'just like heaven' from Katie Melua too!
this song is very impressive…
cheers!
Nice set. I had heard that new "Just Like Heaven" on Hype Machine this week, and wrote myself a note to suggest it.
How about the cover of "Thunderstruck" by Swedish folkies Hellsongs instead?
Wow. Have you ever played Steve Tyrell before? My wife has a couple of his albums – he's a standards singer but he's got a great, resonant voice.
And yeah, that Dub Pistols version of "Rapture" was fab. Nice reworking of a song that seems uncoverable.
