Great disasters often cause musicians to band together and lend support to their victims. This is particularly true in the wake of the Paris terror attacks, in which 89 people were killed while attending an Eagles of Death Metal concert. As a way to raise money for the victims of the attack, EODM encouraged other artists to cover their song “I Love You All the Time,” promising that 100% of the covers’ publishing income would be donated via the band’s Play It Forward campaign.
Thirteen of the covers went up on Spotify today, including takes by Florence + The Machine, Jimmy Eat World, Dean Ween, Savages and My Morning Jacket, among others. Check out a few of the covers (also available on iTunes and Amazon) below:
EODM recently announced that they would continue their European tour:
“Hearing the stories of the survivors, the injured and those who have lost loved ones has been overwhelming. Not returning to finish our set was never an option. We look forward to coming back in February and continuing our mission to bring rock ‘n’ roll to the world.”
