A few weeks back - we told you about Songs For Australia an upcoming album featuring covers of classic Australian songs - curated by Julia Stone - to benefit Australian brushfire relief efforts.
The album features Kurt Vile, Martha Wainwright, Damien Rice and more covering the likes of Nick Cave, Sia, Gotye, and Gang Of Youths ... but one cover we were particularly interested in hearing was The National's rendition of the 1987 INXS classic - Never Tear Us Apart.
The band released the cover this week - and while their version stays true to the original's form - there is some National-esque spin on the song ... and we think its a wonderful tribute to a wonderful song for a wonderful song
