Oh, how my tenuous heartstrings are pulled by this beautiful, stripped down cover!
Lykke Li, who sultrily snarled her way through a pack of sex-laden tracks on her most recent album
Wounded Rhymes, delves into her sweet side in the live performance. Li, plus an acoustic guitar, make for a tender but raw take on the classic Righteous Brothers' tune "” yes, my heartstrings are pulled taut, and so is the wavering quality of her voice.
I've listened to this track a few times on repeat already; I have a feeling it's going to get quite a lot more airtime over the next few weeks.
