Pony Up – We’re All In This Together
It seems that the only times I bother to write about Pony Up is when I’ve got them doing a cover of something. Not one to easily break with tradition, I now have them covering everyone’s favourite Australian named Ben, Ben Lee. We’re All In This Together originally appeared on his 2005 album Awake Is The New Sleep, and album full of beautiful mediocrity, something this song nailed perfectly. The Pony Up edition (incidentally recorded as a b-side for one of Lee’s singles) slows it down, adds a more sombre tone and throws in some vocal harmonies for fun. None of which makes it better, or worse, than the original. Just different.
Seached for “pony up” and your blog was first, and very amusing it is, too. Plus I like your Mp3s a lot. PLUS I’m not even a music thief if I download them. New bookmark!
