I had heard a couple of tracks from Peter Gabriel's new album Scratch My Back, I'd heard Book of Love a month or so ago. But when I heard his version of Flume by Bon Iver - it blew my mind. Its rare songs do this, in the realm of covers the last one that did this to me was Buckley's Cohen cover, Hallelujah.
The arrangement is perfect. I had always liked the original but I was struck by this cover's raw emotion. Have a listen.
The delicate piano, with the surging horn section are unbelievable, with Gabriel's raw vocals. I've listened to it dozens of times. It's a brilliant version.
