Can't beat a bit of tradition, a proper goosebumps song when done right.
Green Grow the Rashes.
Unfortunately this version is not on spotify or other streaming services. So for the purposes of the playlist happy with Eddi Reader's version to go on. But would encourage folk to listen to/view this one anyway. I was there.

I didn't think I would like that Eddi Reader album when it came out but, though I'm not a fan of listening to the whole album in one go, I think there's something really interesting in hearing them in the style she sings rather than something more obviously traditional. It's not as 'goosebumpy' but there's a kind of new light through old windows feel to it
