5 Songs I like to listen to…Only, out of wilful awkwardness and perhaps a re-blog to the esteemed Mr @allnightsong2 as 5 songs isn’t a terribly big number I have gone with 5 Cover versions I like listening to, and are indeed on my ancient Ipod Nano in my ancient car.
Boys of Summer, Don Henley, Covered by Show of Hands. Given SOHs home in the West country, it’s a fitting tune,
Isolation, by Joy Division, Covered by Therapy? Off the fantastically noisy shouty, mad bastard drummer album “Troublegum”
Sol Invictus, Trad, by Thea Gilmore, so, possibly not an actual cover as we might understand the concept, but, close enough. Ideally to be played at daybreak on the Winter solstice.
Days like these, Foo Fighters, Covered by Florence and the Machine. Done by Florence when they headlined Glastonbury after Grohl broke his leg. Possibly only available on the BBCs Glaso coverage, or, bootleg.
Strange affair, by Richard Thompson, although the lyrics are supposedly from a Sufi poem. Covered by June Tabor and Martin Simpson. If you can find the live version from the Union Chapel, it’s magnificent.
If anyone else wants to join in, perhaps with 5 covers, please be my guest!
