Ball Park Music cover Powderfinger 'My Happiness' for Like A Version

[@timworcester]

All these years later, I keep coming back. My friends, this really is it.

[@Bartification]

This is the most Brisbane thing to ever happen.

[@MatthewSankey]

Euphoric

[@sitgg]

By the banks of the great brown snake

[@ahnhenden]

And the Maroons are still Origin champs. All is right in the world.

[@sliffman1]

Yeah it's sick.

[@mushro0m914]

❤️💚💛

[@majellaokeahialam3984]

Covered an Australian classic - check Put their own spin on it - check Did it justice - check Finally a Powderfinger cover

[@Layle03]

This is such a Ball Park cover: Those weird quirky keyboard flickers and chimes That distinctive rock melody chuffing away in the background That slow-moving emotive Surrender-esque build-up Them cheeky grins from Jen and Sam Fucking ace aye

[@gardyespinoza4677]

Cn.n n.

[@CaptainFram]

That guitar tone at 1:35 is BEAUTIFUL

[@poolix1]

The tone of that strat is mental

[@samuelmatthews7731]

I always forget what an amazing drummer they have

[@emmnquina]

Sam Matthews I'm glad you also love their drummer.

[@recordingsbeforethenukeswe9588]

3:04 them all bopping is the best shot

[@dakineprotoss]

[@saffronh9926]

WHY IS THIS STILL NOT ON SPOTIFY OML

[@nnnnsaakadamanas218]

that lead guitar line is absolutely beautiful.

[@aylaaustin]

Was having a real shitty day until I listened to this on my break at work. Day made

[@jamiekerr5514]

When that chorus comes in 😍

[@xemodadx]

I'm here in the US and I remember when I heard My Happiness back around the time that album came out, I still love that song very much. This is a great cover of it.

[@nildagodineaux3631]

The happiness this cover brought me. I always forget what an amazing drummer they have

[@TheMagXnum]

Bloody awesome, knocked it out of the Ball Park... thought their original swing on the harmony was brilliant. Gave the song new depth for an old Powderfinger fan. Well done!!👍 seems alot of the bogan comments coming through just have no appreciation for talent and originality... haters best you go listen the original and turn your headphones loud so you drown out your own stellar harmony 😆

[@oscarhanson6521]

😂

[@mediajunk]

I can’t stop myself from coming back to this one. Brilliant work guys.

[@AnonymousBloke]

And here I am too, back again.

[@terryspry8482]

When they played this on Friday morning, I was actually travelling to see my love! Windy roads through the hills and hinterland around Peachester... beautiful scenery and beautiful music! Man was I singing along!!!

[@rwinfi2019]

Saw an interview with Fanning and he was bemused that so many people treat this as a happy song, even used for wedding songs. It is a beautiful song, though, both the original and this amazing cover.

[@drewboyd2527]

Finally a Powderfinger cover

[@nu.wa.n]

takes balls to tackle it. most don't want to try and and fuck it up

[@thetalkingelement]

You may as well listen to powderfinger, as they’re obviously better. This was horrible. It’s supposed to be a version not a cover.

[@kurtwilliams1460]

+Dinky-Di hahahaha get over it

[@thetalkingelement]

Just pointing out the obvious.

[@Macconator2010]

There's always someone complaining about the cover versus version nonsense. It's too different, they butchered the song, some might say, others say, it's too much like the original. Would it kill people for once to judge the performance and not the context? Cheers. Performance was pretty damn good and they took small creative liberties with instrumentation while leaving the song essentially the same. Which is probably a good idea when you're covering a beloved Australian classic. I'm all for critical thinking here, but good god, judge the performance, not bitch about what you wanted and didn't get.

[@Abe.Wassenstein]

The happiness this cover brought me.

[@harryralph9284]

I'm responsible for about 10% of the views on this

[@xylobort]

Wow, I never thought I'd like a cover equally as the original. This is beautiful! 💖

[@ItsJustLeeLee]

This is insanely beautiful. I didn't think anyone could ever do The Finger justice, but the depth in this cover is simply stunning!

[@robertne.mcclai5026]

Wow, I never thought I'd like a cover equally as the original. This is beautiful! 💖 I always forget what an amazing drummer they have

[@sharondleisk]

Just wow .. this is a song that means a lot to many people and these guys knocked it out the ball park (bad pun intended) !

[@miguelcarlo83]

Fabulous version. Love this song.

[@skyer0blue]

Is this the greatest thing to happen in Aus Music Month or what?!?

[@obeet]

I see your shadow on the street now I hear you push through the rusty gate Click of your heels on the concrete Waiting for a knock coming way too late It seems an age since I've seen you Countdown as the weeks trickle into days So you come in and put your bags down I know there's something in the air How can I do this to you right now If you're over there when I need you here My happiness is slowly creeping back Now you're at home If it ever starts sinking in It must be when you pack up and go It seems an age since I've seen you Countdown as the weeks trickle into days I hope that time hasn't changed you All I really want is for you to stay So you come in and put your bags down I know there's something in the air How can I do this to you right now If you're over there when I need you here My happiness is slowly creeping back Now you're at home If it ever starts sinking in It must be when you pack up and go I know I know I know what is inside

[@icantbebotheredtonamethis2329]

This is so good I can't stop playing this cover

[@Browser771]

HOW IS THIS STILL NOT ON SPOTIFY?

[@kevindrone]

what a beauty!

[@icantbebotheredtonamethis2329]

I love that guitar solo it is amazing

[@chrisandrews4810]

Straight up awesome....

[@martypolderman6937]

One of my favorite covers, but I always get up to see if the fridge door is closed whilst listening!

[@johnchataway9831]

From the comments it seems that a lot of people like this apart from the elements that make it different from the original. That's the beauty of a cover though, otherwise might as well just listen to the original, right?

[@jessxzaff]

John Chataway yeah but people are morons so...

[@thetalkingelement]

Wasn’t even a good cover.

[@thetalkingelement]

Calm down skirt.

[@dommitchell4319]

Covers don't exclusively have to try and change the song to make it the artists own version. In fact, a song cover is defined as arecording or performance of a song by someone other than the original artist.

[@blakey96]

Takes me back to the time I stopped by the Caxton after a Roar game to grab a six pack of Mangoes for the Uber home, and the lad behind the counter gave me a free Castlemaine Cranberry hat. I was so overcome with Euphoria that I had to go back to the forecourt of the mighty Fortress and show my Uncle Wally my new headwear. Like a jacaranda sunset, the sky parted into a perfect purple flash that you get from a routine brown-snake thunderstorm and I knew that someone, somewhere, was reliving the heart-wrenching feats of the Eight in a Row.

[@gatoblanconzful]

Joshua Blake not criticising but this is why bne is considered bogan

[@blakey96]

Wouldn't change a thing :)

[@mitch2610]

Yeah right

[@noahwebb9887]

Can't wait for their tour next year

[@tommylucatiel7911]

God this music is amazing but watching Jennifer playing is captivating all on it's own.

[@maddiebridle1453]

awesome cover boys! really digging this one x

[@jessxzaff]

One of the best LAV I’ve heard. Smashed it!

[@redclaw6505]

I love this soo much

[@SkyBlue-jn5zp]

This song definitely works better with 2 vocalists. They were crazy not to do that originally

[@tylerhofmann2309]

Great work, everyone! Love it.

[@dianem4513]

[@jasonbiger9571]

DIane M yeah next week will be shit with ‘baker boy’

[@charliescott7220]

Fk spending $20 on iTunes for this one song why does it have to be ‘Album Only’ and why isn’t this on Spotify??! 🤔

[@billieforsyth2135]

Awww respectively done guys xx

[@mcphat2423]

Absolute legends

[@endwido]

Bernard would be proud af

[@thetalkingelement]

Pretty sure he’d roll in his grave if he were dead. Give me half a carton and Bernard would “also” be proud of me. LIKE a version, not a cover.

[@remz02]

this reads as if he's dead lmao

[@MIGAustralia1]

Best. Cover.

[@phanvanhungtranvanhai5426]

Wow, I never thought I'd like a cover equally as the original. This is beautiful! 💖 Bernard would be proud af
