"The Luckiest" by Fox Menagerie

 


From the village of Winneconne, Wisconsin come Fox Menagerie, a rotating ensemble of musicians who record cover songs and originals in their high school library, doncha know?

Here is their version of "The Luckiest," a 2001 tearjerker from Winston-Salem, North Carolina musician Ben Folds.

As ever, April 26th is set aside for a cover of this song, and each year I get to reaffirm just how lucky I am.

Happy 17 years, Jess.  I'm sorry I know that a cover song recorded in the Winneconne High library is a strange way to tell you that I know we belong.  That I am.... I am.... I am the luckiest.

For other versions of "The Luckiest," here's one from Charlotte Littlehales, here's one from Stephanie Erin Brill, and here's one from Sara Gazarek.
