“Train Song” by Bon Iver, Feist and Colin Stetson (Vashti Bunyan cover)

This Bon Iver/Feist/Colin Stetson cover of “Train Song”, the Vashti Bunyan song that has been making the rounds on TV as a Samsung commercial, is another example of a great live collaboration of indie heavyweights.

The tune’s been through a bunch of renditions, more notably Feist and DCFC head honcho Ben Gibbard’s contribution to the charity album Dark Was The Night, but this live version is my favourite of the lot, with Feist’s flawless vocals, the magical Justin Vernon touch and lots of romantic cooing.
