Lykke Li – Unchained Melody (Righteous Brothers Cover)
Once upon a time, Ghost was my favorite movie of all time. Makes me feel a little old saying that, since now one of the main characters (Patrick Swayze, of course) has passed, one might be old enough to be creeping up on becoming senile (Whoopi, of course), and the other is … well, it’s hard to know how old Demi Moore is when her husband is like 30 years younger. Anyway, I think part of the reason I fell in love with Ghost is because I really loved the song “Unchained Melody.” Now Lykke Li has published a cover of the tune in a very stripped-down fashion, and it’s stunning. It’s obvious why people love Lykke Li (other than the fact that she’s quite beautiful herself) when you hear the pure beauty and power of her voice in this song. I think sometimes she dolls her voice up a bit too much to sound a little too youthful, but here she seems to let her pipes loose, and it sounds fantastic. Well done, Lykke.
