One of our favorites doing a cover of one of our other favorites.
It doesn't get any better than this!
Feist has teamed up with fellow Canadians the Constantines for their single, a cover of the Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers classic Islands In The Stream.
Enjoy it below!

I like the song but one comment by truth used the race card. slavery did exsist and black ppl would rather be could black then a nig by a white person. the only reason truth said that is because no black man would fuck her.
thank you
You guys are too busy to read all the posts? Are you guys not reading all the posts? WTF? Did anyone read the post all in caps. Is this a "ignore and maybe he'll go away" tactic I'm not aware of.
I'm sorry, but this is crap compared to the original version.
how do i get that song?
You fucking americans have NO taste in music. Canadian music (and HOCKEY) for the win, suckers.
that is so bad ass. I love the Kenny and Dolly version, always have but this one rocks too!
adore it
I'm a friend of the Constantines bassist, and it is pretty weird to read their name on Perez…kudos to discovering them, they are amazing dudes.
Ugh, sorry, but it sounded like she just got the lyrics that day, and those 2 voices just do NOT blend well.
Re: TRUTH – wow, truth, i never thought of it that way. but you know what, it makes sense. i always heard about white people picking cotton and doing the exact same things the "slaves" had to do. you are very intelligent to have come up with that. and they always gave them food and a place to live. sounds like a good set up to me.
knowing what a feist fan perez is, i was expecting this WAAAAAY sooner. it was released 2 months ago….
Re: TRUTH – indentured laborers only worked a contracted number of years in return for coming here…blacks were forced…indentured laborers came and usually ran away in under the 3 years…they were allowed education, and to have cases of mistreatment heard in court unlike blacks…you are po, uneducated, and a disgrace, if you face up to your inadequacies, you will one day have more to gripe about than the mistreatment of others…racism, and hate crimes have a correlative spike during economically impoverished times…I guess we all better get used to idiots like you….all of you (punks)complain of blacks and slaveryONLINE, but I have never seen blacks complain once about slavery online…not once
So mellow. I love Feist
This song is amazing. I can't believe how much she has exploded since her ipod commercial! I saw her preform in a church in Toronto just last year! Pure Talent.
Is this being released on itunes?
How do I get this single? Is it available for download?
this is beautiful
To those of you who don't like Feist, just go away peacefully. You don't get it and you never will. Go listen to Britney or Mimi. You've probably only ever heard one of Feist's songs - the one that iPod marketers played to death. Her music is radically different from one song to the next. Feist and Peaches are the fucking best.
all you people saying negative shit about feist- like shes an anorexic twit or something- shut up. you are probably a fat mess. appreciate her talent. even if you think its boring, at least she isnt some lame ass cookie cutter pop star. give her some credit you cranky, negative, pieces of shit.
SHITEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!
soo beautiful!
Perez,
Do yourself a favour and get a copy of The Constantines new album, Kensington Heights.
Knowing your admiration for Canadian bands, I think you'll love them.
ugh this was so fucking awful. i cant stand trendy, pretentious faux indy bands like feist. go fucking sing for another i-pod product. YOu're sucking the life out of rockin' roll!
SUCKS SMELLY, FAT ASS.
pp
don't know much about you or what you do, i only heard about you on tv, but i must say you have great taste in music! thanks for introducing me to this song, it's great, i will tell all my friends
I love it! She is amazing.
o.m.g.
so amazing.
HE sounds like Leonard Cohen in the Tower of Song. It's a total ripoff in the beginning.
Re: TRUTH – YOU IGNORANT ASS BITCH, YOU NEED TO GO EDUCATE YOURSELF FOR SOUNDING SO STUPID. YOU'RE LUCKY THAT I DON'T KNOW YOU BECAUSE I WOULD OF BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF YOU FOR SOUNDING SO DUMB.
I think she is highly overated as asa singer. She really isn't that talented. Her voice is whiny and I don't get the hype surrounding her at all? She is a talentless one hit wonder artist. Well, I can't even call her an artist. Just because she made ONE original video doesn't mean she's an artist. She just found a video director who had an original idea.
that sounds great
very different from Dolly's version but I still like it. It's very soothing - almost like a lullaby.
OMG!!! i absolutely LOVE their version!!!
It drags a bit. they need to pick up the pace and it could be something…
ZEXY!!!!! One of my fav duets as well. A unique spin on the song.
I actually like this, I dont think I would listen to it regularly, lol, but I enjoyed listening to it the first time around. Sounds good. — Not my type of song though, but I liked the sounds of it.
Love Feist, Love the Constantines…. Love Perez!
Rock on
not bad
Where can i find this song, cant find on myspace or youtube
This sux!!!!
Perez,
I read this every day - and this is the first time I've commented. Where do you find this stuff? This is a brilliant duet - THANK YOU!
Re: TRUTH – U REALLY NEED TO GET A LIFE…. U WERE OBVIOUSLY HOME SCHOOLED BY 1 DUMB BITCH… AND U OBVIOUSLY HAVE NO FRIENDS… THATS WHY YOUR ON HERE DISSIN ANOTHER RACE… BET U WONT SAY THAT TO A SUPPOSED NIGS FACE. PUNKS LIKE U USE ON LINE ENTERTAINMENT SITES LIKE THIS TO TRY STIRRING THINGS UP IT'S THE ONLY WAY ANYONE WILL ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR OBVIOUSLY SORRY ASS…. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR FORGIVEN… I ACTUALLY FEEL BAD FOR U… BECAUSE ALL THAT MEANS IS U TRULY HAVE NO LIFE OR FRIENDS AND THE ONLY WAY U GET PEOPLE TO TALK TO U IS BY 1ST LOGGING ONLINE SINCE YOUR PROBABLY SO DAMN UGLY NO ONE WILL LOOK U STRIGHT IN THE EYE THEN U OFFEND THEM JUST SO THEY GIVE U MORE THAN A 1 WORD RESPONSE….

Re: jennn – LET HIS DUMB ASS KNOW JENN…. AND YOUR RIGHT… IT MAKES BLACKS FEEL LIKE ALL WHITE PEOPLE HATE THEM JUST BECAUSE OF THEIR RACE. THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT OBAMA MEANT WHEN HE MADETHE TYPICAL WHITE PERSON COMMENT… EVERYONE GOT ALL UPSET… BUT IS HE REALLY SO FAR OFF…. PEOPLE LIKE TRUTH MAKE US FEEL THAT WAY… AND IT'S SAD BECAUSE ME (AS A BLACK WOMAN) KNEW EXACTLY WHAT HE MEANT WHEN HE SAID THE TYPICAL WHITE PERSON….. BECAUSE IM USE TO THE RACISM…. A CO WORKER ACTUALLY TOLD ME I WAS THE ONLY ONE HE REMEMBERED WHEN HE FIRST STARTED BECAUSE I WAS THE BLACK GIRL AND THAT WHEN HE 1ST SAW ME ALL HE COULD THINK ABOUT WAS THE FACT THAT I WAS BLACK… HE EVEN WENT ON TO SAY WHEN HE SEE'S A WHITE PERSON HE LOOKS TO SEE WHAT COLOR THEIR EYES ARE AND IF THEIR CUTE… BUT ON A BLACK PERSON HE CANT HELP BUT STARE AT THEM JUST BECAUSE THEIR BLACK… THEN HE SAID A BUNCH OF STUFF ABOUT HE CANT WAIT UNTIL EVERYTHING IS EQUAL… WHICH HONESTLY NOTHING WILL BE EQUAL UNTIL PEOPLE CAN LOOK AT BLACKS, SPANISH, ASIAN AND ALL OTHER RACE'S AND SEE SOMETHING ELSE BESIDES THEIR COLOR…. SO YOU ARE VERY RIGHT JEN… BECAUSE AFTER THE LITTLE RUN IN WITH MY CO WORKER…. WHEN EVER I'D NOTICE A WHITE PERSON STARING AT ME…. I COULDNT HELP BUT THINK THEY MUST BE SHOCKED TO SEE A BLACK GIRL….
Re: sara – YEAH SARA WHITE PEOPLE MAY HAVE DONE THE SAME JOBS BUT LET ME TELL U SOMETHING….. THEM SAME WHITE PEOPLE GOT REGULAR BREAKS WORE REAL SHOE'S AND DIDNT GET HUNG FROM TREES AND WHIPPED TO DEATH BECAUSE THEY DIDNT WANT TO SEPERATE FROM THEIR FAMILYS…. YALL NEED TO WATCH ROOTS FOR REAL…. U SOUND JUST AS IF NOT MORE UNEDUCATED THAN TRUTH…. U BOTH SHOULD TAKE A HISTORY CLASS OR SOMETHING…. OHHH AND HURRY UP BECAUSE THE STAFFORD LOANS ARE HISTORY IN JULY…. OHHH AND I GOT PAID FOR THIS ONE TOO……LOLOLLLLLLLL
its ok i took the time to listen to it
come on. feist is defs fierce. i love her. but im not such a huge fan of this rendition of this song. hmm. im on the fence. but i love her music. so excellent
A PIECE OF ROYAL SHIT.
I love this song..it's so pretty.
Feist is so amazing… she's such a sweet canadian girl with great vocals!
I love to watch her perform, she's just wonderful!
Love this SOng! thanks for introducing it to me! MUAH
The person who left a comment on the first page, "TRUTH" as they called themseleves,is in denial. total wanka. face facts, slavery happened and it was not in our power to do that to them. we were in the wrong, and everyone else is mature enough to admit it. colour should not be used to define what is in the inside. piss of u racist weirdo and go to a little hole somwhere and die.
Re: Jimmy – That's funny. You sound like the hick. I've visited Calgary, and it and the people were amazing.
I love this version!Go Feist! Go Constantine!
