I discussed things coming around before, with Foy Vance covering Bruce...here's another example. I'm down in Florida right now with my bro and our girlfriends, celebrating our 30th birthday which was yesterday. Scott and I are sitting in the computer room listening to tunes, and he throws this one on. Peter Gabriel is music. Scroll down below a bit and read about my appreciation for Bon Iver. Now, put the two together; Peter Gabriel covering "Flume" by Bon Iver. You know you're good when a guy who's been in the music biz for 30 years covers your song. Peter Gabriel's first record came out before Bon Iver was even born. This is like JFK walking into the White House and giving Obama a high five.
Check out the lyrics. Thank you Scott for showing me this. Amazing
I am my mother's only one
It's enough
I wear my garment so it shows
Now you know
Only love is all maroon
Gluey feathers on a flume
Sky is womb she's the moon
I am my mother on the wall,
With us all.
I move in water, shore to shore;
Nothing's more
Only love is all maroon
Lapping lakes like leery loons
Leaving rope burns reddish ruse
Only love is all maroon
Gluey feathers on a flume
Sky is womb she's the moon
Really solid stuff. Cheers.
