[@terezacernohousova62]

How covers work: Most bands/artists creates slower, more emotional version of the song. And then there are Bastille: mix at least 3 different songs, make a movie reference and leave you crying

[@laurentle7164]

Yes, Bastille are the kings of covers!

[@ellie1650]

Tereza Černohousová what reference?

[@perspectiveoflondon]

What was the film reference?

[@terezacernohousova62]

Nothing, I meant it in general...

[@Thesleepypoet]

But the last live lounge they did, they dropped Lion King in there!

[@bycieandgingers4eva]

Bastille's BBC live lounge covers are always next level

[@slimrutherford2375]

That's my auntie in the back! So proud that she sang for Bastille!

[@arundhatisharma5743]

aww that's great

[@jacksefo]

Please tell her a stranger from Italy is both envious and very happy for her, you two have a nice day (:

[@AlecAkin]

THAT'S SO FREAKING AWESOME!!!

[@PoeticEspionage]

That's so amazing. She is very talented.

[@sherlxck-221b9]

Which one.

[@Nikitathecutest]

The Gods of mashups and covers are back all hail this fucking band ❤

[@ItsJessLouisex]

Dan could just sing the alphabet and it would still be the best thing I've ever heard

[@Poliplot]

Jess Louise same here 😂

[@izfactorxyzchain6971]

Yass!

[@esomoi7197]

Listen to Patti LaBelle singing the alphabet it’s something else

[@AlecAkin]

Can confirm. Me too.

[@salmaahmed-osman5648]

I loved how he sang "you can call me queen bee" and he started singing single ladies damn this cover is honestly the best thing I've ever witnessed

[@joedbernal5745]

Salma Ahmed-Osman then you should check their other cover in bbc live lounge, the "we cant stop" mash hp

[@salmaahmed-osman5648]

Joed Bernal I saw their cover of we can't stop and it was phenomenal!!

[@abrighteyedbandit2449]

Salma Ahmed-Osman kinda his thing haha. they've made projects of covers where they mash up songs. you should check them out!

[@salmaahmed-osman5648]

Dij Ri'chard I know haha I love their other people's heartache mixtapes

[@abrighteyedbandit2449]

Salma Ahmed-Osman oh cool which one is your fav? i love "what would you do" but the second one has "no angels" and "love don't live here" so i think i like it more lol

[@ogb1923]

Radio 1: What song do you want to cover? Bastille: Yes.

[@piershazelgrove]

You can't but help smile when they do covers like this. Brilliant.

[@racketman2u]

although to be fair the word "cover" is hardy adequate to describe what happens here!

[@littlemissmann62]

I have so much respect for Dan, he never changes genders or pronouns because he's a man - he sings the songs as they were written like a QUEEN

[@MB-me3ys]

Vixi Pixie in Requiem for Blue Jeans he sings from the perspective of the man rather than the woman, but that's the only occasion I can remember :)

[@MultiWilliam15]

Maya B I think that's because it's their artistic take on Blue Jeans. I mean it's not just a cover, it's for a mixtape.

[@TheEvilDamsel]

He also changed "we" to "she" in the cover of We Can't Stop for the final chorus, but it works SO WELL!

[@Alexandra-qu3mu]

Dan's voice slaying my life once again

[@charlottehowells1404]

Bastille are the Kings of mashups

[@smile673]

There are normal bands/singers who do a one song cover. Then there are Bastille.

[@juliusdelapaz128]

Agree!

[@denizi6323]

Wtf how is it even possible to perfectly put together all those songs and make something this beautiful i'm crying

[@Lara.xo_]

I just cant get over how talented and amazing Bastille are. I really shouldn't be surprised anymore but how could u not be

[@fionaadvincula]

Everything they touch just turns to gold~

[@mariammontaser7128]

fiona advincula is that bastille dragons i am hearing?

[@EmD93]

Bastille are the best at picking songs we know and love, and taking the best bits of those for putting in a magical blend!

[@robynobrien3519]

I saw this live and it was honestly amazing, especially when the snoop dogg part dropped

[@franzisr9812]

Dan, you're allowed to feel like the only girl in the World

[@PoeticEspionage]

In my eyes he is.

[@emmabuckley9630]

tbh i'm imagining dan covering Delilah by Florence + The Machine and it would make me die happy

[@maritta2504]

BBC1 Live Lounge never fails to produce something incredible and amazing. I cannot express how much I love this format. Please don't ever let it die. There are so many gems there already, and this for sure is one of them!

[@carmenk3897]

I can hear Dan roarrr~~

[@JackHumphrey326]

Honestly made me feel like it's 2013 again.

[@ishadrums]

bastille always comes up with the weirdest mashups and somehow make it all work together brilliantly

[@dazza25dj]

Bastille just smash it every time. This is epic

[@neilbowness6074]

Radio 1 should make an album of just the bastille live lounge sets he’s done over the years, they’re all gleaming

[@mollie2970]

Saw this live and was just the best atmosphere, especially when they switched between songs

[@millie2037]

Mol Mason How did you get to be in the audience for this??! Ur so lucky 😩

[@mollie2970]

Lara King was in my city and tickets were free!!!

[@millie2037]

Mol Mason Wow 😱 I'm so jealous!! 😩

[@millie2037]

Mol Mason what city was this in if you don't mind me asking?

[@arundhatisharma5743]

omg that must have been an amazing experience

[@anthonypaparo]

There is something so inherently peaceful about this mashup. No idea why, but it just gives me this calming effect.

[@ani_sans]

I don't know what is wrong with me but every time I watch something about (or with) Bastille I get really emotional, like, my body can't handle their existence, they can have everything I am and everything I own, I'm just in love with those guys. What they make is the finest art and I'll defend it.

[@hersheyshark13]

CAN WE TALK ABOUT DAN'S VOICE AT 2:50

[@Ac3OfWands]

Bloody hell, I know right? *fans self*

[@BereniceRamirez2806]

Allways a pleasure to listen Dan's voice, and talk about Dan's voice.

[@matthewgreen1504]

The first time I heard that I actually came

[@skybluegirl878]

They are always doing the unexpected things and then they are the most beautiful creations.

[@mbalihadebe6741]

DAN'S VOICE IS LIKE NOTHING ELSE IN THIS WORLD.... WOW

[@davidbradley8229]

This should be a charity song for the people of Manchester. Love from the south.

[@AyaLabnine]

So beautiful I can't omg

[@rayyy4089]

everytime i see this in my recommended i cant ignore it and its unhealthy how many times I've watched this

[@ljphoenix4341]

Yo same!! 😂😂

[@Karits11]

Dan the biggest Lorde fan ever

[@richardpogi17]

FreakoBunny I'll ship them

[@amandamorley5162]

I love these guys, so talented, smooth voice makes me melt :)

[@maikueken]

This describes how it feels to have several songs stuck in your head at once :D

[@cassidyblock1853]

this is the most amazing combination of songs ever made

[@irlandad822]

- Tenemos estas 4 canciones para que escojan una y hagan un cover... - Las queremos todas. - Pero... - TODAS, dije.

[@luciaescudero1540]

Irlanda De La O JAJAJAJAJA la lógica de Bastille es 😻

[@abileneruiloba3284]

JAJAJA tan cierto :'v

[@elsadlh7636]

the transition from roar to royals is literally perfect I can't handle their mashups

[@vanessabrowne2057]

OH MY GOD - I have had this on replay for half an hour and CANNOT get enough of it - MASTERPIECE - WOW WOW WOW the best thing I have listened to this year

[@kristinbruck9475]

Am I the only one who thinks Dans voice in 2:38 is damn sexy?! Heaven...

[@helpumuch6887]

Kristin Brück it’s always sexy what’re you talking about

[@drenushe4683]

Royals - Lorde Only Girl In The World - Rihanna You’ve Got The Love - Florence +The Machine Roar- Katy Perry Drop It Like It’s Hot - Snoop Dogg

[@chamoy955]

All the single ladies - Beyoncé

[@olympiagalliani4813]

You've Got The Love - The Source featuring Candi Staton

[@iamcampeller]

Bastille and his covers are simply FLAWLESS

[@tomislav_fatm447]

WOW Have no words WOW This is amazing

[@vesleMari]

Bastille is outta this world when it comes to mash-ups and covers.

[@yororo0820]

Freaking Bastille!!! How are they so amazing!!

[@elallen91]

YES. COVER MORE FLORENCE PLEASE!

[@kimberweed4205]

got the love was a cover by Florence it's from the 90s

[@williamlewis2752]

Florence is amazing

[@kimberweed4205]

she is !

[@Sianpb97]

PLEASE that song is by Candi Staton and covered by Florence although I love her cover I'm sick of people saying they are covering an artist when they aren't the original singers. You can't cover a cover you can only cover the original song.

[@elallen91]

The description lists Florence as the artist he is covering. I would love Bastille to cover an original song by Florence as well. Dream combo!!

[@sangyeonlove7691]

bastille are so good at mashups

[@giuling7441]

When Dan's voice goes all raspy when he sings 'let me live that fantasy' like if you agree

[@rubybaker8908]

[@EmilyL-hq6ne]

I still come back to this

[@adzantia8632]

Holyshiz this band is from another planet ❤

[@babyhilts]

Bastille mixing Lorde and Florence and the Machine in one song? Is this Heaven?

[@jeffreylambert8092]

[@adamwhit1868]

Bastille are the best at live lounge

[@danprice1843]

Astonished, Amazed, I just mean WOW

[@shazneentabassum9833]

THIS IS AMAZING.

[@44ndreana]

Just when I thought I couldn't love Bastille even more

[@ricardogreen3589]

I don’t comment on videos because music is a personal experience, but I have to say he has the best voice in music at the moment!! ...

[@jemimaboka1179]

I would kill to watch Bastille live

[@iAmTheSquidThing]

Deal. I'll send you a list of people I need dead, and I'll get you a Bastille ticket for each one you succesfully kill.

[@jemimaboka1179]

YES SIR. send this list to my email and I'll be done by tomorrow morning. And post me the tickets as soon as I'm done

[@DeeGamerZak]

Jemima Boka see them live in London. Incredible so much energy
