Hurt was my back up. But I stand by Song to the Siren as the greatest ever cover, in terms of how it not only transforms the original, but lets out its latent magic. The This Mortal Coil version sounds other worldly and eternal. A bit like it was discovered rather than created, in the sound of the ocean at night.

Never seen X Factor. But I've picked couple of songs which might have a bit of Hallellujah potential.

I bought Song to the Siren recently. Not easy to get a good copy that's cheap to buy.

Hurt was my back up too.

You don't like the back up choice? Bit of an obvious one, but a fantastic tune.

I couldn't carry a tune in a bucket.

Although I do occassionally sing on the karaoke in pubs. It seems to move a lot of people....to the exits.
