Julia Jacklin has recorded a cover of Rowland S. Howard’s classic ‘Shivers’.
Howard wrote the song as a member of Nick Cave’s pre-Bad Seeds band The Boys Next Door. The song was later covered and made a hit by The Screaming Jets.
In a statement Julia said, “It’s been covered a lot, but it’s a special one for me. It was one of the first songs I ever learnt to play. Many Sydney bars, venues and open mic nights have heard me sing this song. Howard wrote it at 16 and I’ve always loved how much the lyrics capture that type of unbridled, dramatic teenage infatuation. The kind that physically hurts but also makes you laugh at yourself.”
