Malcolm Middleton

continues his “girl band cover project” with a cover of ’s My Delirium. Now, unlike the last one he did, I am at least vaguely familiar with this particular song. Not through every really hearing it, but via a friend who on occasion will repeatedly sing the same little bit of the chorus. While changing it to “delerium”.

There is probably no way I can honestly write about this thing without coming across as a snob like last time, so I’m not going to attempt to compare the versions. Nor should I try and figure out why I quite like this when what I’ve heard of the original has me wanting to destroy my eardrums. Standing on it’s own though, this slots in as a fairly typical Middleton effort, coming across as a stripped down plea for his own sanity. Which is probably a reasonable course of action when you spend your days covering songs like this.
