Cover Me Songs Premieres My Goodness’ Take On Tom Petty’s “You Don’t Know How It Feels”

Cover Me Songs has the premiere of “You Don’t Know How It Feels,” a Tom Petty cut from Wildflowers that My Goodness recorded for their recent Islands EP. Drummer Andy Lum told the site, “We were listening to a lot of Tom Petty on our last US tour, great driving music – so we decided to choose a classic and take it to a dark place… our producer Shawn suggested we play the song at double speed and slow the tape down to get this spacey, warped drum sound. It felt insane while we were tracking, but the end result was totally worth it.” Cover Me Songs aptly describes the result as having a quality of “spooky menace,” quite unlike the original Petty classic. Check out the track here or below.

Islands, which finds the Seattle-based band branching out from the heavy, no-frills sound found on 2014’s Shiver + Shake LP, is at radio now.
