So this is the girl i’m going to marry.
I know she’s way out of my league, but i think if i compliment her enough, she might just recognize me one day. Ok well thats all a joke, but i legit love Ellie Goulding. This British songstress is a musical genius and has little competition in my books for someone whose got as versatile a voice as she. Really, everything about this cover is brilliant and considering the number of covers that Ellie has done and their recognition vs. this, i’d say that Roscoe was done the best out of her large collection of covers and is up there in her top-songs.

Here is one of the original versions of the stellar song, done by Midlake, a band based in Texas. This acoustic version brings vivid memories of Neil Young and CSNY to the forefront of my mind, jolting my mind full of Helplessly Hoping and Our House.

Being a Canadian, even moreso, being from Southern Ontario (for you who don’t know, by that I mean Toronto and the area to the south-west, going to the broder with Detroit and around to the south with Buffalo, NY), I was very happy to have been sent this music from a band no more than an hour away from my home. Although i was planning on saving Harlan Pepper for a bit, until i started to feel like its time to go jump in the snow and then sit by the fire, that is, Pigeons and Planes already jumped on these highschool boys from Hamilton and I guess the time for disclosure has come.
