James Blake - “A Case Of You”
One of the most wonderful covers I’ve ever had the pleasure of hearing. So bitter, yet so sickeningly sweet. It’s quite a wonderful thing how a song so subdued and so minimal has the power to overtake you like this one. Play this at a stressful time in my life and I will most likely cry like a baby. He played this when I saw him in concert and it was the the most raw, heartbreaking, yet astral performance I had ever experienced in my life. Perfect for this icy weather we’re having, innit? You’ve already got the best single of the year, and yet you still outdo yourself with every subsequent release. Four for you, James Blake.
“You’re in my blood like a holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you, darling
I’d still be on my feet
I’d still be on my feet.”
