JLH cover on True Blood

"There was a cover of Just Like Heaven last night on HBO's show True Blood during the opening scene that I have never heard before and the credits didn't mention soundtrack info. Female voice sounded like Natalie Merchant. If you could find out who did the cover I would really appreciate it. It was episode 7 of True Blood entitled "Burning House of Love"." (Thanks Allan)

Update: That would be The Watson Twins. (Thanks Roboterkampf)

  4. I love The Scream on the album. My god.. Porl has really made Cure so much better. I though it was over when listen to " The cure album. But 4:13 dream is f.. great. Dont worry, I have all Cure albums, and I will buy this one as well. The weakest track on the album, is the Only One, Freakshow and SWID. Thats kind of funny.

  5. funny! you sound like you don't know katie melua!!! She's really famous, she's sold millions of records this side of the pond. I have to say she's really pretty. What she does is kind of boring , but all right , though.
    At least it's not fucking r'nb , rap, or the utter shite such as Spears and the like that the US are so good at spawning and impose on the rest of the world.

  6. The album, although great, seems to be damn near to being another victim of the loudness wars. Why, Robert?!

  10. It's probably the Katie Melua version. If it is, then its the same one they played in the beginning of the movie "Just Like Heaven". Oh what a coincidence, lol...

  14. I thought it was The Watson Twins, as the cover is on their latest album. Here's a live version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUeoDJ0cOl8

  17. Everyone is wrong except Roboter. The version on True Blood is by The Watson Twins and it is much better than that other chick's.
