We’ve been obsessed with this track since it dropped — Alex Warren’s Fever Dream is a huge song with a really emotional melody about love catching you completely off guard. As soon as we heard it, we knew it had to give it the violin and cello treatment.
The original is built around piano and a big drumbeat, but at its core it’s a love song with a gorgeous melody. That’s exactly the kind of thing that works so well as a string duo arrangement. We wanted to strip it right back and let the emotion of the song come through on just two instruments — no backing track, no production, just strings.
This is our studio recorded version of Fever Dream, and we’re really proud of how it turned out. Have a listen:
We’ll be releasing this cover on Spotify, Apple Music, and all the usual streaming platforms soon — so keep an ear out for that. In the meantime, you can check out our other string covers on our YouTube channel.
Why Fever Dream works as wedding music
We’re always on the lookout for fresh songs that work well at weddings and events, and Fever Dream is a brilliant one to add to the list. It’s romantic without being cheesy, it’s modern, and it has the kind of energy that works whether you’re walking down the aisle or having your first dance. The string arrangement gives it a timeless feel while still sounding contemporary — exactly what a lot of couples are looking for.
