Working on whittling down my list of albums of the decade, there are obviously going to be albums that don't make the list, but which contain individual songs that would make my songs of the decade list if I had the inclination and time to make such a list (I don't).
One such song would be "The Funeral" by Band Of Horses. Taken from their 2007 debut album Everything All The Time, "The Funeral", for me, is a perfectly written, perfectly executed song.
Continuing my recent attempts of writing about covers that I like, this is the perfect place to mention Canadian singer Serena Ryder's paired down version of the "The Funeral", a cover that takes the song somewhere else, while maintaining the essence of this fine composition.

the Serena Ryder version is really interesting... the production is great - it really plays up the gloominess of the lyrics. Cool.
