Midlake - "Roscoe"


The end of the year in the blogosphere brings many lists of bloggers' favorite songs of the year, but let's look back at one of the best songs of 2006. Midlake's "Roscoe" is a remarkable and enchanting song that sounds like it would be more comfortable in the 1970's than in 2006. "Roscoe" has an aged feeling to it but it never grows tired. I recently found two different versions of this song that while faithful to the original give the song a new and exciting feel.

Midlake - "Roscoe" (Acoustic)
Midlake - "Roscoe" (Beyond the Wizards Sleeve Remix)
Midlake - "Roscoe" (Original Version)

Roscoe is my favourite song ever, so to hear such a beautiful acoustic version was amazing.
Thanks :)
