I didn’t have Ziggy Alberts covering the Proclaimers on my 2026, but here we are! His take on the 1988 banger “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)” is stripped back to put the focus on those sweet lyrics. Rest assured, he doesn’t mess too much with it. I know you’re still going to be singing along to this one!
Ziggy apparently recorded this cover in Cavanbah/Byron Bay with longtime collaborator Garrett Kato for a film sync opportunity. Now though we all get the chance to hear it and add it to our road trip playlists. The music video, shot across Kabi Kabi County/Sunshine Coast, captures those road trip vibes.
