Australia has been heaping buckets of froth over Dear Seattle‘s Friday Like A Version cover of Missy Higgins‘ iconic 2004 tune ‘The Special Two’, and it turns out they’ve even won over Missy herself!
The legendary Aussie singer took to Twitter today to give the Sydney indie punks’ rendition of her The Sound Of White hit a big thumbs up.
“Wow, I never in my wildest dreams imagined The Special Two sounding like this!!” Missy wrote.
“I had a smile ear to ear watching and listening to this (very) old song of mine be reborn. Takes on a whole new meaning.”
The lovefest continued with Dear Seattle then responding: “Never in OUR wildest dreams did we ever think you’d hear our version, let alone enjoy it!! Hahaha Thank you @missyhiggins, it’s an incredible song and it was a pleasure to cover.”
So. Damn. Pure.
