Babe Rainbow cover Dido's 'Thank You' for Like A Version
Babe Rainbow parted the clouds and brought the sunshine in on Dido's 'Thank You', a track that always makes us think about grey, rainy days.
In their Like A Version debut, the dreamy psychedelic Byron Bay band took the 2000s ballad (also sampled by Eminem in 'Stan') in from the cold, wrapped it in a towel and brought it a hot drink.
With warm-toned acoustic guitar, fuzzy bass and delicate vocals, Babe Rainbow transported us from a dreary London street to the crystalline waters off the North Coast.
"It was really nice, especially playing the nylon so low," guitarist Jack Crowther said.
"It had this deep resonance and then when Angus [Dowling, singer], when we decided that was the key, his voice was weaving so nicely with the guitar.
"It felt really cool, just him and I singing it."
It's a gorgeous shift on Dido's original, feeling like the first touch of sunshine on your skin after a long, dark winter.
We reckon this might just be the best day of their lives.
