A.A Williams - Into My Arms

 Yes it is who you think it is covering the song you think it is...

Last month A.A Williams released Songs From Isolation which is a beautiful series of stripped down covers. It is mainly stripped back to piano and vocals only, as we have seen on previously released tracks through lockdown. There are new versions of tracks by Radiohead, Nine Inch Nails, Deftones and Smashing Pumpkins, while squeezing even more pathos from The Cure’s mighty ‘Lovesong’. It is well worth a listen and some tracks on repeat.

Her take on Nick Cave’s ‘Into My Arms’ is brilliant and just when you thought you had everything you needed from this track the hushed intimacy here makes its sorrow all the sweeter.
