Scarborough Fair

I usually don't like it when a band takes a folk song and revamps it with a back beat and squealing electric guitars, but this song is one of the exceptions. ♥

I love, love this song. And I know what you mean about revamping folk songs. It can either be amazing, or kind of embarrassing. This version works I think because it keeps that tone of being slightly mysterious and very celtic, without pushing it too far into heavy-heavy metal.

You're right. I was trying find a way to describe their spin on it--and you nailed it!
