Covers: Mumford & Sons

I found this cover on a friend's twitter feed today. Ready to flow some beauty into your ears? Kate actually gives me chills on this White Page Blank cover that she spills out in the bathroom...and can you blame a girl? We all know bathroom acoustics are where its at. This song has nestled in comfortably as my number 2 favourite on Mumford & Sons' Sigh No More, behind Awake My Soul.

The lyrics in themselves are something that pump goosebumps into this heart of mine.

Can you lie next to her, and give her your heart as well as your body?
Can you lie next to her and give her your love as well as your folly?
Can you kneel before the King and say 'I'm clean'?
but tell me now, where was my fault, in loving you with my whole heart?

Beatboxing Pixies Cover

Covers

A beautiful cover of one of my all time favorites. My, my, my….



And one more cover for the halibut.. can I just mention I was at work looking for this embed, and I couldn’t remember Anya’s name, the only thing I could remember that this version was featured in Gossip Girl…needless to say it was awkward when I was watching the “Gossip Girl threesome scene” titled youtube video when my bossman sat down next to me.

Passion Pit

Passion Pit have an open love for the 90s Irish rock band, the Cranberries. So much so, that they laid down a cover of "Dreams" on their LP Manners, and cover it every show in a way thats truly 'Passion Pit' - with synths and falsetto galore. I've been listening on repeat lately. If it doesnt get your toe tapping, your toe must be lead plated.

Fyfe Dangerfield

Fyfe Dangerfield, of the Guillemots, tackles this Billy Joel classic. Ladies, be prepared to have your heart melt.

Covers

I love me a good cover, and with it being Tuesday and all I thought we'd venture down that road. How cool is it when you hear a different band singing a hit and it sounds like a completely different song? Well here's a few diddies that I've rounded up since my last post about the BBC Radio 1 series of covers.


This one is a continuation from the BBC series - Paramore Use Somebody

I found this one from Lady Gaga's recommendations off her twitter account for a cover of her own Let's Dance by Gary Go

A little UGC never hurt no-one...and how cute are they? Here's a mishmash of Plain White T's 1234 and Drake's Best I Ever had, on the....wait for it...ukele.

Simon and Garfunkel Cover

What an amazing Thursday morning pick-me-up

Antony and the Johnsons vs. Beyonce

Could Antony and the Johnsons rendition of Beyonce's Crazy In Love be any more different than the original? Apparently A and the Js have been performing the cover for awhile now during their live show, but the video was just released this past week. What is so intriguing is that Its such a haunting take on the song, and makes you see this club hit in an entire new light. Even the video is pretty close to being a complete opposite. While B and Jay-Z's version is very upbeat and colorful, this one is full of dark shadows and silhouette shapes.

Compare & contrast. Whatchu thank?
