This Irish folk group's cover of Sia's Elastic Heart is gorgeous

Now with bonus fiddle.

ELASTIC HEART IS one of the biggest songs in the country right now.

The Sia number has been hanging around the top ten in Ireland for ages now, so Tullamore group RuggedWood have decided to put their own spin on it.

The young folk quintet have pared the song back, added fiddles and basically totally reinvented it.

The end result? A gorgeous/slightly addictive cover that we think Sia would approve of.

Watch below.
