The Hunter's Daughter
is SUCH a tune. I'd sort of forgotten this album but it's definitely a great summer one.
This tune is rather good
I like the orginal too. It proves that goths can come out in the sunshine.
Great stuff!
That cover is aces high and 'The Hunter's Daughter' is full to the brim with brilliance, it'll work a treat if we have a sunny June too. Shame i can't make the tour.
what a boring cover
anyone looking for something more original should check out the why? version.
This cover
makes me want to vomit into my own eyes
there's a link in the story...
where it says 'click' or something...
