Four Year Strong Cover John Williams’ “Somewhere In My Memory” from Home Alone
Media | Nov 11th, 2016
It’s after Halloween and you know what that means, Christmas music for 2 months. Four Year Strong covered an unusual cover, the track “Somewhere In My Memory” from Home Alone. Fans can purchase the track at iTunes and stream it below.
Originally written and recorded by famed composer John Williams for the original motion picture soundtrack for “Home Alone,” “Somewhere In My Memory” was nominated for Best Original Song by the Academy Awards after its release in 1990 and has since become a holiday classic.
Lead vocalist/guitarist Alan Day commented about the cover:
“We’ve wanted to record a Christmas song for as long as I can remember,” “Dan and I finally decided to sit down and figure out a way to make it happen and we couldn’t be happier about how it turned out. We wanted to do a song that hasn’t been covered a million times, and “Home Alone” is one of the best movies ever made, so “Somewhere In My Memory” seemed like the perfect song. We hope our rendition gives everyone as much holiday cheer as we had while recording it. Merry Christmas!”
Four Year Strong is currently on tour in the U.S. with Good Charlotte, The Story So Far and Big Jesus in support of their latest, self-titled album which can be purchased now at iTunes. In early 2017 the band will head to Europe for their “Rise Or Die Trying 10th Anniversary Tour.”
On Monday, the band will also be announcing their annual holiday show that takes place each year on December 30th. Follow the band at https://www.facebook.com/fouryearstrong for more information.
