The catholic boat!!

Teardrop, by Massive Attack was released in 1998 and reached a whopping number 10 in the UK sales charts. However good the song was, it was the music video that everyone always thinks about when they think about the song. When you hear it you cant go without thinking of the eerie fetus that lip syncs to the song, which worked even more so because the heartbeats were in-time to the song (or vice verser). The fact that I learnt today that I never knew was that the singing for Teardrop was actually done by one of the Cocteau Twins. In more recent times there have been a couple of really good covers of Teardrop. The very first was done by Elbow on the Radio One Live Lounge show. Elbow are a bit of a Bidet regular and hopefully need no introduction. Newton Faulkner also released a version of Teardrop on his debut album, Handbuilt By Machines (which unfortunately doesn't follow suit from this awesome cover). Another Bidet favourite has also recently done an amazing cover of Teardrop. Jose Gonzalez, the Swede/Argentine is on the road for the release of his new album, In Our Nature (which is awesome). To my surprise I heard this cover when flicking through the album, and as always Jose does an amazing version of an already fab song!
