DESCRIPTION:
Applewood Road covering R.E.M. Losing My Religion
Daylight Music performance at Union Chapel, London on 10th October 2015.
Applewood Road was invited to perform one original song and one cover song on BBC's Dermot O'Leary Show. At the time, they were only doing originals in their set, and Amber Rubarth (one third of Applewood Road) suggested doing this three part vocal she had arranged a few years back of R.E.M.'s "Losing My Religion." This is their first ever trio performance of the song, live at Union Chapel in London as part of Daylight Music, presented by Arctic Circle.
Applewood Road's debut album is out now on Gearbox Records:

In September 2014, three songwriters met for the first time in a cafe in East Nashville. By the next morning they had put the finishing touches to their first song, 'Applewood Road', which they recorded live to tape at Nashville's all analogue studio, Welcome to 1979.
The song's nostalgic air, along with the clear, sparse arrangement of three vocals accompanied by double bass, drew immediate positive response, and they decided to expand the idea into a full album.
Six months later, they reconvened to write, rehearse and record songs for the self-titled album Applewood Road. The songs were again performed live around a single microphone at Welcome to 1979 and recorded to two-track tape with minimal accompaniment from some of Nashville’s finest session players, including Aaron Lee Tasjan, Josh Day, Fats Kaplin, Jabe Beyer, and Telisha Williams.

"Losing My Religion" Song Lyrics
Oh life, it's bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
