Within Temptation did a series of covers in 2013 for a Belgian radio station. This is The Power Of Love by FGTH in symphonic rock style


The album is called "The Q-music sessions" if anyone wants to look it up

The stardate is 1983 & Marguerita Time was made famous by Status Quo. Can you imagine a cover by Dexys Midnight Runners?? No neither could I and its pretty grim

UK Single chart topper, for a good cause.



The original Taupin lyric one reached number 12 if you were wondering.

One with an interesting history - In The Army Now.

1982 - Bolland wrote it
1986 - Status Quo have a smash hit with it
2010 Status Quo redo it - and the video has them having far too much fun with some serious big boys toys :D



EDIT - there is some behind the scenes footage on this vid
