Acoustic Kiddie Virals

The Sandalwood Everlong Cover is Sure to Melt Your Heart

It’s hard to resist anything on YouTube that involves the following: children, music, and just adorable things in general, which is why this Sandalwood Everlong Cover is now the most viewed cover of the Foo Fighter’s most popular song on YouTube.

The Sandalwood Everlong Cover is performed by brother and sister duo, Dylan and Lauren, at the OxJam tent at Electric Picnic festival in 2010. The kids also do other acoustic covers of popular songs, including Green Day’s “Time of Your Life” and “Melancholy Hill” by The Gorillaz, among others.

There are few things in life that I enjoy more than great acoustic covers of popular songs, but as it turns out, kids performing these covers just might top the list.
