Colin Meloy ft. Laura Gibson "Cupid"

[gutstotake]

This is how we keep good things alive---through the vocal tradition and rendition. Love this.

[onionhuff]

This is sad. I mean that in a bad way! LOL!

he played this with laura gibson at the concert i went to it was cute!!!!!!! but hes already married it's just that their voices sounded so good together

[fosterroberts]

When I heard he made a new EP called Colin Meloy sings Sam Cooke! I was so scared...

But this is really good.

[Verence]

Why would you be scared? :p

[fosterroberts]

Well, it's just that Sam Cooke's voice is really soulful, and while I love Colin Meloy's playing and voice, and well just everything about him...

People just fuck up Sam Cooke songs a lot, and I was worried...

But I was wrong. Very wrong.

no you were right, this is a butchering of a classic

@sculder =(

you gotta say though, electrifying as it isn't, to see this dude play some normal pop is some fresh air: just a couple chord changes here. no major 7ths all fooling you into thinking they're gonna turn out a happy song (they won't). i don't like it, but i'm for it
