An overlooked cover tune XVI

I praised "This Will Be Our Year" by The Zombies in a previous post.  The tune sports some of the best lyrics about giving credit to someone where it's due and maintains an optimistic view of the future.  Yesterday, I saw a impressive cover of it by Swear and Shake on YouTube.  The song works well in an acoustic guitar-with-vocals-version, and the vocals bring to mind Fiona Apple's soulful, bluesy sound.  Here's hoping it's released officially.
