A song for Mary Jess

[Admin]

I was interested to read in the Telegraph article that Ken posted HERE where Tom Lewis of Decca "sees Mary-Jess appealing to fans of Enya and Katherine Jenkins but also Sigur Rós"

It just so happens that Sigur Ros are one of my all time favourite bands and I have always wanted to see a more classical version of Hoppipolla.



The piano and strings are already beautiful and I think Mary-Jess would do a brilliant job with the singing, especially with the higher notes towards the end, it is a good mixture of classical and pop and I think she would love the challenge of the Icelandic lyrics too.

Hoppipolla has been covered by Jonathan Ansell on his second album 'Forever'.

Thanks Nicola, I did not know that, I'll have to check it out.

I'd still love to see Mary-Jess do a version of it.

I posted this song on Facebook earlier, listening to it over again I think that Mary-Jess would do an absolutely beautiful version of this.
