Manchester newcomers Everything Everything have released a special cover version as a free download.
It’s Friday! Finally. After a long week in the office, music fans across the country will be indulging in a little ‘me’ time. The daily chores have been completed, let the web-based loafing begin…
As if they knew what we were up to, Everything Everything have released a fun new download. With their new single ‘My Kz Yr Bf’ set to crash into the charts, the band have decided to record a childhood favourite.
Gloworm’s ‘Carry Me Home’ is a guilty pleasure, something which crops up in the back of your head when you least expect it. Can’t quite place the track? Check out a vintage TOTP appearance HERE.
Everything Everything are fans, and have placed a unique cover of ‘Carry Me Home’ on the seven inch version of their new single. Out now, the band are so chuffed they’ve decided to give their rendition away.
“I remember this song from my childhood, there’s something unusually sad and soulful about what at first appears to be a fairly upbeat dance track…We hope our version throws light onto this amazing song, we did our best to do it justice.”
“There’s something about songs like this, ‘Dancing Queen’, T Pain’s ‘buy u a drank’, singing mundanities or even really happy things in the case of abba, but singing them like it’s the saddest thing in the world, that can really go deep in a way that straightforward sad lyrics don’t.”
“This is one of the best examples of ‘happy/sad’ or ‘sad-party’ feel, this amazingly soulful voice simply talking about a morning routine, before breaking down utterly with the chorus refrain ‘oh lord! oh lord! I did everything I could do!’ – what’s happening here? Why’s he so sad? How can this make me feel so up and so down at same time? It’s so brilliant, so moving and strange, and so much more than a throwaway dance hit of yesteryear.”
