London Grammar - In For The Kill (La Roux)

[@juliaaa1111]

Her voice is precious.

[@senselessDesires666]

It lies beyond the farthest sea, This castle whereonto I flee When life and time hang wearily. Yet though so far, 'tis strangely nigh: Within the breathing of a sigh One gains the walls secure and high Of the castle of dreams. Divinely beautiful and great, Of pearl each dome and tower, and gate, It stands, a hold of kingly state. There gyving Time and Space are not, And cares of Life are all forgot. No breath of restless change is brought To the Castle of Dreams. I walk each wondrous court and hall, Their varied treasures mine at call, For there I am the lord af all. If gold and gems of land and sea, And broad estates were offered me, I would not take them for the key Of the Castle of Dreams.

[@ritarawson8748]

Ju M. I could listen to her singing a bus timetable

[@JMW_JMW_JMW]

Her voice is like a crystal clear lake. It's amazing.

[@AHP378]

8 years later this is still the best version of this song

[@ivanbear4089]

11 year*

[@davidjones8043]

Skrillex version is pretty fire idk

[@audio.video.disco.]

@@davidjones8043 skrillex version is good on its own, this version it's just waaaaay more deeper and highlights the lyrics in a beautiful way

[@GaryM67-71]

The original will never be bettered. These hacks can't come close.

[@Mark08138642]

Literally as soon as she started singing I couldn't help but crack a massive smile...London Grammar are sooo badass!!

[@aaronjones6135]

There is more than just music going on inside here. These kids have some depth

[@MusicMan3]

Aaron Jones ya the singer is on par with Adele. Shes amazing her voice gives me goosebumps up my spine! And other guys know how to play to showcase her voice and make it epic.

She is my favourite vocalist ever. Glad we have someone like her in our generation.

[@michaelshorter1194]

Quite possibly the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard

[@luigivonleonhardt2923]

Oh my God. Her voice.

[@theenlightened1s]

This song introduced London Grammar to me.. and made me an instant fan... amazing cover.. heavenly vocals..

[@maciopt]

my favorite singer at the moment. just amazing.

and it will continue to be for a long time:D

[@a5h13y7]

Yeah right, I can't stop searching for them

[@Evesonification]

One of the most original and soulful voices I've heard in years, and all I see on youtube are 'she sounds like Florence and the machine'. Open your ears people!

[@whatadick2126]

This song perfectly shows how amazing her voice is.

[@ArjanSangraa]

Her voice is magical, its accentuated with the eerie background; makes a perfect coupling.

[@MrMrVV]

In for the kill "Jackson explained this '80s-derived song to Steve Harris of XFM radio: "It's about telling someone how you feel regardless of what you get back, and not waiting to find out if they want you or not." She added that when she wrote this, "I was quite in to someone in quite a deep and intense way and I went overseas (Paris) and told them I like them. It all fired back in my face but that's not the point you do it for yourself.""

[@creos42]

Love this cover! I've come back to it so many times over the years.

[@CPTM1]

Man, everytime I find a cover song that these have done, they have always killed it. So talented

[@tommywm24]

What a voice....such control and power.

[@a5h13y7]

I love that feeling of stumbling across something and then start to understand it will change what music I listen to.

[@kami_Shi_Shin]

Her voice is like a priceless painting

[@Acrata.]

omg I love La Rox so glad that London Grammar did a cover of this song !! I just LOVEEE all of this !!!

[@trapexzOfficial]

Better than the original IMO! Love London Grammar :)

[@GagaBoy1346]

Definitely

[@zentimemusic]

yes!!!

[@Rykka]

No one sings this song better than Elly herself... And the singer of London Grammar is totally flawless....

[@Andye.sadder]

There's no need to compare, They both have a very different voices, very different styles, I love both versions of the song, Elly is electric, this girl is chilling and peaceful. :)

[@Emmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmma]

Best thing to happen to UK music since The XX. Words fail to describe how amazing they are.

[@LoLo9078]

Here we are. Nov 2024 and this is still the best version of this song....ever

[@WakeUpMrCarter]

Original is such a fast song, You forget just how good the lyrics are. Really awesome cover.. Love it!

[@todordraganov]

We can fight our desires But when we start making fires We get ever so hot Whether we like it or not They say we can love who we trust But what is love without lust? Two hearts with accurate devotions And what are feelings without emotions? I'm going in for the kill I'm doing it for a thrill Oh I'm hoping you'll understand And not let go of my hand (x2) I hang my hopes out on the line Will they be ready for you in time If you leave them out too long They'll be withered by the sun Full stops and exclamation marks My words stumble before I start How far can you send emotions? Can this bridge cross the ocean? I'm going in for the kill I'm doing it for a thrill Oh I'm hoping you'll understand And not let go of my hand (x2)

[@pctechsupporthelp1]

Are you kidding me????? Hannah Reid has the most beautiful, amazing voice I have ever heard!!!! Hannah you cant be from this planet!! Thank you for sharing your inspiring, magical vocals gift with us. :)

[@hughseagraves7036]

One of my favorite recordings of all time. Just perfect

[@valtradad]

you cannot compare Hannah's voice with anybody elses as she is totally unique and what a hauntingly beautiful voice it is the rest have nothing on you Hannah . Keep it up you lot.

[@brunoromeu5856]

LOLOL on copying other people's music

[@yohyzoyohyzo3327]

This is one of my favorite songs, and you did this song justice! You made this song your own, and the way you did it was absolutely beautiful!

[@cheche4rox]

Love how they just completely "London Gammar-ed" it instead of just replicating the original

[@HansArteagaRomero]

that's what covers are all about innit

[@magicmulder]

Or being an artist, for that matter. :)

[@oscararmandopinochi4729]

Can't stop listening to this band! Congratulations!!!

[@leggylondonbricks]

I'm not sure how a 3 piece like this can have such an amazing 'big' sound, they are so talented.

[@llewelynconlin9739]

OH YESSSS.... WHAT A LIVE LOUNGE THIS IS..... WAS QUITE DOWN UNTIL I JUST LISTEN TO THIS... THANK YOU ALL

[@xPorcelain29]

I used to love this song and I adore this band, THIS IS SO PERFECT

[@pauloesmarques]

SHE'S SO BEAUTIFUL

[@mrp6459]

[@narodeiphos4606]

I seriously cannot understand why 97 people would dislike this amazing performance

[@anniemckinnon749]

I love how they slowed the song down and her voice is something else! Great cover

[@celinevanbenten]

I have been listening to a lot of london grammer lately, I really love her voice especially here it's so hypnotizing.

[@ArronCantCatch]

And here we have a perfect example of what is wrong with the music industry; putting stress on aesthetics before vocals, musicality and talent. Hannah is both visually and musically stunning, and this is a live recording, not a music video. Thank-you once again radio 1 for recognizing true talent and giving them a platform.

[@Musicisaheeler88]

Amazing! Seen them at Leeds they were incredible and Hannah was so humble can't wait to get the album totally obsessed with these guys!

[@stephaniespy7786]

Amazing. So haunting.

[@winifred101]

[@IzakWilkinson]

Absolutely brilliant cover, very simplistic and effective - And that voice is absolutely fantastic.

[@gabrielmosca4898]

I think this is a best performance that I saw this band on youtube, worth it if it's a cover

[@wesleytshabalala925]

Found this song in varsity. Still lives close to my heart

thank you london grammer ... i heared it first by you... the lyrics are just waw the song was well performed i love it

Fatima Karaouzene London Grammar did not write the song, it was La Roux.

Beyond perfect, there is no song she cannot sing and add to.

[@CinnamonChasers]

best voice ever

[@johnsonquinn6455]

For 15 years I knew London Grammar was London Glamour. It was only this evening that I found out that wasn't the case. Anyway, her expressionless identity and senseless sexiness are so attractive.

[@marjorryalves8130]

Best cover ever! And her voice is almost spectral! Divine!

[@mohamadfares890]

such a gorgeous rendition.

[@chrisveale100]

Best band of 2013, been waiting what for seems like ages for their first album..... best of the year!

[@ronaldodantas8538]

Eu sou completamente apaixonado por essa voz da Hannah. É tão linda e única.

[@paulpz2004]

the band as a whole is just doing it for me, 100% love em..but just gotta say her eyes are truly just as seductive as her voice, and that is saying A LOT!!!

[@r8d0]

I didn't known absolutely this song,but after your version i try to find it.. i have to say that your version is absolute great.. better than the original.. i love it.. GREAT !!!!!!! thanks for this.

[@Novaradius]

Pop this gem on spotifiy asap... incredible

[@TeamSuett]

Her voice is just incredible

[@ScottyOg72]

Truly deep heartfelt lyrics to go with her voice they are unbelievable

[@steee17]

Cannot stop listening to these! Such a good cover!!

[@tashapxx]

I've been waiting for this to come on you tube every since I heard it on the radio. beautiful x

[@slyarsenal]

I like this rendition of the original song. The voice matches the face - beautiful.

[@possiblepossibilities7407]

definitely one of the top 5 live lounges

[@DenisasPupkevicius]

London Grammar probably the biggest found for me this year!

[@Jamie-hs7vr]

A THINF OF TRANQUILLITY AND BEAUTY.

[@sharpcircle]

I have a cool story about LG. So a few years ago I worked for a company that supported legal companies like solicitors and accountants in their IT. Not a relevant part of the conversation really but I was the head of service for this company and had to go to london from birmingham to face the music from one particular solicitors. I went, got absolutely destroyed by this solicitors and left utterly deflated. It was a fairly hot day and by the time I got back to euston i was sweating my ass off and decided that I was going to upgrade my company bought train ticket to first class so i could have a free beer ( i mean it aint free but you know what i mean) and a hopefully quiet trip back to birmingham, I get on the train and sit in one of those single seats you get at the side ....got my free beer and happily supped away. I looked up and saw hannah walking down the carriage, to be followed by Dot. Dot proceeded to sit next to me in the opposite seat with hannah and the managers and whatnot sitting in front. I should say at this point that myself and my missus were huge LG fans. We'd seen them at Glasto and had tried to get tickets to Birmingham but they sold out so quick we couldnt get them, so we even tried abroad in Germany, they had also sold out. I plucked up my curage and spoke to Dot, chatted to him for a while and said how much of a fan I was, explained we tried to get tickets and he said..."what you doing tonight?". Me not realising what he meant said well i'm going back to birmingham and me and the missus are gonna watch the new greys anatomy (I know, kill me). He laughed and said...wanna come to the show in birmingham instead? And thats the strory of how i got free tickets to LG's show in birmingham....curtesy of the fabulous Dot.

[@michaelphotographer8471]

I love them!!! So down to earth and amazing kind people.

[@Snacky_Tayahz]

can't help but get a little bit emotional listening to this

[@virgosiren]

In Love with her voice and their music... Nice cover of this track.

[@importantname]

the absence of bling and sexuality is - refreshing

[@MusicMan3]

ya the singer is on par with Adele. Shes amazing her voice gives me goosebumps up my spine! And other guys know how to play to showcase her voice and make it epic

[@hellfeather2011]

What absence of sexuality are you talking about? Her voice is pure sex

[@graf_marcula]

London Grammar is my go to sex music

[@xerxeskingofking]

@@hellfeather2011 i can only assume he means that shes preforming in street clothes, rather than three handkerchiefs, some strings and 10 grands worth of jewellery, like some female singers are wont to. but, quite frankly, she looks amazing anyway, and that's BEFORE she opens her mouth and that voice starts......

[@GP-qb9hi]

Are you gay bro? LMAO

[@iwb316]

Dont know why but this brought back memories of listening to Judie Tzuke 'Welcome to the Cruise' Album, especially the track 'For You'. Maybe its just the pureness of her voice, both have that special something. Strange how seeing or hearing one thing can remind you of something else.

[@austinsillman14]

They are such a great band
