Little Lies cover

[bethelblues]

Ok, I only just saw this and Little Lies is one of my favorite all-time Fleetwood Mac songs. You've probably seen it before but you might appreciate it: this is Anna Ternheim's live version, which I like better since the chorus includes background singers, giving it a much fuller sound.

This is a version of Little Lies that I actually think Buckingham Nicks could pull off. If they slow it down and do a bare-bones rendition with Stevie singing lead, it could be a lot of fun. And this was the biggest hit from Tango in the Night. It's never been performed with Lindsey, and hasn't been performed period since 1990 (though they did rehearse it for The Dance). If it came back in any form it would be a special treat.


Edit: Also here's a piano cover of Little Lies I think is pretty good. Definitely worth checking out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nq6uFsbrqVA

I think I've posted it before - but it deserves to be heard. Again.

This is one of my favorite covers of FM

I agree. So many other covers of this song also ditch the electronics, but they absolutely miss the meaning at its core. I think Anna captures what Christine intended when she wrote the song.

Love this cover! Thank you.

For me, this cover sapped all the mystique out of the song.

Bonus points for the reference to Fleetwood Mac’s “Little Lies” in “Whole Life Story.” I’m not sure if the keyboard riff is meant to echo the Mac jam, but it reminds us that perfect pop and emotional trauma have a rich history side by side.

For me, this will always be the best cover of Little Lies - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QARuyU1adK8 I love the asian twist. For me, Little Lies is a hard song to cover. So much of it's appeal is due to the Christine / Stevie / Lindsey c-c-c-combo.

Superfly - a great Jrock band - do a phenomenal cover of Rhiannon too. I just can't find it on youtube. Again, I just love that asian fusion.

I actually like this version. I love it when bands "muscle up" Christine's songs.

No version will ever top the original.

The mere suggestion of Stevie singing lead on this quintessential Christine song makes me want to cry. What a horrible, horrible idea.

Have to disagree- I think its really disappointing the Lindsey/Stevie/Mick/John band never really played any Christine material. I would have loved to have heard them play tribute to their (then) former band mate with one of her big hits. I think it would have been a great idea.
