Although our Father’s Day isn’t for a while yet, a lot of people around the world have already celebrated the day and whilst most people either bought manly things like Autobarn vouchers for presents, BANKS decided to do something for dad’s everywhere to mark the occasion.

BANKS has dedicated this cover to her own father, explaining on her Tumblr page how he would play ‘In Your Eyes’ a lot after work and just relax to it with a cold beer in his hand. This is one gift any father would love on Fathers Day so BANKS has definitely done a mighty fine job.

Signed “Happy Father’s Day” BANKS has recorded a lovely rendition of PETER GABRIEL’s ‘In Your Eyes’. Light synths whirl around the track as it flows through the track with her lovely vocals leading the charge. BANKS has made it sound a lot more ethereal and dreamlike than the original, which has given it a new meaning.

‘In your Eyes’ kind of feels like a rejuvenation, a cover so unique and lovely that it just makes you want to relax. It’s a personal cover that BANKS has let the world enjoy, so enjoy!
