The Morning Benders (POP ETC)- LoveFool

I guess this is just going to be a Morning Benders (POP ETC) day. The song this time is Lovefool by The Cardigans. Lovefool is classic among the hipster crowd and is probably featured in every 90s high school romance movie.

So it's really no surprise indie band, The Morning Benders, decide to cover it. The original has an upbeat sound but the vocals bring down the ''pop" to the song which is actually a really nice combination. As for the cover, it is once again slowed down but not as much as Dreams. The primary instrument is still an acoustic guitar with vocals. Maracas and a tambourine are featured this time which give it a nice feel. Of course, I do miss the "pop" of the song and that classic riff but the Morning Benders still give the original justice while making it their own. Enjoy!

The Morning Benders (POP ETC)-Dreams

The Morning Benders may have changed their name to POP ETC but their sound definitely has not changed. However, this cover was done before the name change so I might be jumping the gun on the whole sound thing. So since that is the case, I am going to be referring to them as The Morning Benders.

The Morning Benders cover Fleetwood Mac's Dreams and totally nail it. The original has a country blues rock feel to it. The guitar has elements of slide guitar giving it the country feel but they complement it with a soft rock style.

The cover is slowed down and only an acoustic guitar and vocals are present in the song. It really is a nice cover and the way it is done shows the beauty of song and it's lyrics. The echo of the vocals gives the listener a sensation of floating and a calm peacefulness envelops you.
