Múm - Machine Gun (Slowdive cover)

This is one of my all time favorite Múm songs..


See you walking and I know she's my friend, again
Just the weight of the water drags me down, again
Guess I'll think of the water it's my friend, oh yeah
It's just the way that the water makes me feel again

Son of sheba I saw him drown
Son of yellow I saw him drown
It's all I need yeah

[scarlettcow]

@scarlettcow is blue skied an' clear a Slowdive tribute album? must be... is it any good?

[scarlettcow]

@harybosco I'm actually not a fan of Slowdive myself so I don't know, you can check out the track list and previews on iTunes though. :)

Mum are good in their own respect, but I feel they are too minimalist to truly pull off everything that makes Slowdive's original version what it is.

Of course the original is better, it almost always is. This is just a different rendition, offers a different perspective. I dig it

[karelzich]

múm are awesome but I also think this is not a great remix. the original is awesome

@leswoon Thanks but I meant the amazing cover that mum did. I've been listening to Slowdive for forever! They're such a great band. Other than the Cure they're my favorite band of all time!

@XxsilentninjaxX souvlaki is the album,i guess you found this out by now,but the whole album is spot on as is,just for a day also by slowdive :)))

You need a really really good sound-system to appreciate this song, there's so many small things going on and the whole sound vsiuality of this is amazing. I just realized it when I listened to it now.

[xinjinbei]

Why Neil's part was left out?

[teescupounadriatico]

@harybosco

IMO, this is by far and away the highlight of the album.
