My Top 5 Christmas Covers
The Christmas spirit I once had has now drifted away leaving
a very unfestive teenager who cant think of anything worse than a Christmas
jumper. But the one thing I do enjoy about this time of the year is my
favourite bands covering, (some) cringe worthy songs and making them my new
un-guilty pleasures. Here are my top 5:
- · Jake Bugg - Happy Christmas (War is Over) -
I’ve always loved Jakes voice and this particular
song really suits it. He really does this often celebrated
- · Peace - All I Want For Christmas Is You / Creep
A mix of
Peace and Radiohead what more could you want? Harrisons voice is so haunting
and weird, you wouldn’t even think he could sing a Mariah Carey classic but he
proves you wrong. Peace make this work (somehow) and the outcome is amazing.
- · She & Him - Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree
Zooeys voice is definitely something
special and suits this song perfectly. This cover can send you back 60 years,
although She and Him have various Christmas covers this is by far my favorite.
- · Florence + The Machine - Last Christmas
I’ve
never been a massive Florence + The machine fan, BUT this cover really stands
out for me. They can make a 80s pop hit sound like meaningful modern ballad. Probably
not the best to listen to after a Christmas break up as this could end in
tears.
- · Angus and Stone – River
Definitely
the saddest of the covers, not the best to listen to if you’ve suffered a
recent break up and want to get into the festive spirit. I’ve always loved Angus
and Stones’ sound and this cover really shows their uniqueness and originality.
