if you know me, you may be aware that i live and breathe for symphonic covers of my favourite songs. it sounds a bit odd but honestly they are so so good!!! it's a known habit of mine to look up the orchestral version when i find a song that i adore, and so i decided to make a CD that's a compilation of my very favourite ones. some very narrowly didn't make the cut because i love them all so much !!!! i have a whole playlist of them on spotify here (some in the playlist aren't strictly orchestral but they have strings or whatever in but shhh don't tell anyone)
1. take on me (symphonic version)
2. life on mars (lso)
3. lucy in the sky with diamonds (lso)
4. let's dance (nile rogers string version)
5. goodbye yellow brick road (elb-orchester)
6. don't stop me now (rpo)
7. arthur's theme (the best that you can do) (rpo)
8. under pressure (rpo)
9. space oddity (lso)
10. total eclipse of the heart (lso)
11. livin' thing (electric light orchestra) (shut up this counts)
