To hear the difference between the raw sound and the fully mixed final product is so striking. Such a good end result. Well done all.

[@Shaunholton]

Haha! This video is brilliant. I’m so sorry I put you through this, but I feel better now that this awesome vlog came out of it 😅

[@CraftyMusicTips]

Thanks mate, glad you feel better now (x2!) 😎

[@blueyonder1233]

Coffee, Crafty, Coffee! 👍

[@jasonmcmillan9554]

The ART of Craft.

[@cremer007]

That explains why there was a lot less of your usual antics as you were concentrating hard to get it right ….lol

[@singitliveworld]

Check out 'Stop' for a serious Crafty face kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZfHmJZ7oKeCnLM

[@singitliveworld]

Love it when it switches between what the camera hears and the final mix. Best BTS yet mate. Thanks once again 👊🏼

[@catastrophic009]

Just shows all the prep that goes into your songs & that it isn't just rolling up in the studio & hitting the ground running ! Great job guys !!

[@rikrushton6826]

We see and hear the end result - you guys know the process...and the work that goes in behind the scenes is insane. Awesome insights as always Crafty thank you 🙏❤

[@sharonedeau]

Thirty seconds in: this is the funniest intro to a BTS EVER!!! 😂

[@bedicou2003]

Just love this "behind the scenes". Daren did an excellent job with the mix. As always ! Best 2024 wishes for you guys !

[@sergiosegada]

I LOVE " EVERY IS A WINNER " ( HOT CHOCOLATE )

[@billrimmer5596]

I got a real kick when the bass gentleman Damien, had to point out things on your guitar. This was a lot of fun. U all really work hard to make us happy. Shaun had probably done a lot of preparation. Then u have to rush and cram. Great result!!

[@Mutely312]

As usual checked the latest SIL drop and what’s this? Crafty looking like he’s sight reading the music. Having found out why, bloody good job 16 hours including sleep 10/10 . Finished take was just brilliant, scaled down band members and still a great performance.

[@stevehall8981]

love the band and love your videos Crafty! They are always fun and informative

[@Luthien-v1m]

True professional at work crafty. This is the creatives version of the boss saying have it on my desk by 5 . All strength to your (playing) arm

[@andyashcroft1921]

Brilliant 👍

[@jeremydene24]

Crunch time is what separates the men from they boys. Been there and although I hate not feeling like I've had proper time to prepare, it pushes us and makes us that much better at what we do. Having watched the finished video first, I never would have known it was a short prep time. You guys are top notch.❤

[@peterhall6656]

Fantastic work guys - now we all know what the chef does to the liver in the kitchen !!!

[@poopmcgee3826]

6:05 amazing getting to see this coming together

[@carstenu.459]

all your Performance always looks like "yeah, they do it every day a docent times so they should be able to do a new song instantly 🤣🤣🤣" Awesome that you gave us a view behind the scenes. That really showes how much work you do on the songs and how professionell you all are. Thanks a ton and thanks for so great cover songs from my childhood, i love you and happy new year !

[@Sonny_AA]

I really enjoy your videos Crafty! Thank you for sharing.

[@valeriecrawford9860]

I have even MORE RESPECT for just how GREAT you guys are. Pulling that together that fast & making it seamless PROPS to all 💝

[@badebolden1]

Fantastic song and great performance. Greetings from Denmark🇩🇰😎

[@erwinaddison2030]

Never heard the song before either mate😄

[@techadvice]

Incredible to hear the difference

[@chaschampion777]

Hilarious! You handled it like a pro Crafty. God bless from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 🙏

[@MatByrne1]

Very cool seeing the behind the scenes of how you guys get it all sorted 👍🏼😎Love the song and your cover does it absolute justice 🫶🏻👍🏻 Keep up the good work

[@learoadoldhalllectures462]

Absolutely fascinating to see the process of evolving the production of this. I sort assumed it was all written on sheet music like an orchestra and people just learnt it by heart then performed it. I like this, music you can watch being made, live, not just a playback, yet you get it bang on.

[@brucelamay8977]

Nice Work! "Every 1 is a winner! Oh, another Hot Chocolate song anyways keep up the great work!

[@Karen-b9t]

So funny and so interesting to see the hard work that goes into putting these songs together. Great team effort with a brilliant outcome 😊🤩

[@andrewfudge2341]

Absolutely love this😂 This is every band I've played in trying a song for the first time when half the band have only recently heard of it! Can't believe you are too young for Hot Chocolate Crafty 😂

[@bisonnn]

Amazing talent - beautiful voice such a skilled guitarist - and doing everything at once ? superstar

[@richardwarburton90]

my wife is a hot chocolate FANATIC. despite the lack of Erol Brown ( SORRY DARREN, WAS A GREAT EFFORT MATE)....she was impressed...nuf said :)

[@gladsthetennisbuff]

Love the song n thanks for sharing how last minute it was haha

[@andrewfudge2341]

Haha, he's seen them at the Gov and doesn't remember their biggest hit. 😅 love it!

[@CraftyMusicTips]

Without checking any stats I’d feel confident in suggesting that everyone’s a winner and you sexy thing where much bigger hits

[@andrewfudge2341]

You are right of course 😊 Have you heard the Paul Kelly version? I think he drops it just a tad, and it's got a slightly less "cheesy" vibe. I think it's great too.

[@andrewfudge2341]

Ps I hope you realise I wasn't having a go. Sometimes comments look different typed out, than how you meant them to sound 😁

[@CraftyMusicTips]

@@andrewfudge2341 All good! Same.... Haven't heard Mr Kelly's rendition, will have a look!

[@GPVideoUploads]

Thanks legend. Enjoyed that👌🏽

[@davidwood493]

Nice job, yeah you probs need to be of a certain shall we say.. vintage to remember that one

[@tonyjohnson3310]

loved the process

[@tsunamirider9895]

Great job all around. Amazing performance. Great background vocals Crafty, you gotta sing more!!!

[@rickpinelli1586]

From one Artist to another, Great Job SIL... Happy New Year! 💥💥💥🎸🎸🎸🎹🎹🎹🎤🎤🎤

[@musoman6754]

As always, top notch ❤

[@stevedudley831]

Nicely put together Crafty....(always love Bill Murray.) Great to see these behind the scenes goings on. Nice amp BTW.

[@ianinglis5354]

Loved this insight video. Illustrates the huge work that goes into the final product

[@carolrebers6998]

After a few reruns ,you performed well at rehearsal, reminds me of the rehearsals from 9-5pm when i was a lead singer in our band "Pulgi" ( Anglicare's band) for 8 years❤and we played at the "Gov" a few times!

[@waynefoulk6980]

Love watching your videos. They are educational and humurous at the same time which makes them really watchable. Love this song the more I hear it and love the sound of the SG as that is what I use to play back in the day.

[@Earthau]

Great work Crafty, thanks for taking us for the ride. Darren says, "Bring a Strat" and you turn up with a Gibson, how does that happen, a Captain Crafty Call?

[@CraftyMusicTips]

Strat was in the case out back, felt like trying humbuckers on clean and got 👍 from Daz before I hit record on the camera. Too many things to do!! But well spotted mate

[@singitliveworld]

I'm still very happy with that tone 👊🏼

[@walterdouglas2931]

Love the process

[@MisterGames]

Great video, thanks for sharing all you went through.

[@mickcuda3518]

You guys rock

[@OttoCharles49]

Nice really nice. You are a pro!

[@natugali]

Me encanta este video!!! 👏👏🇦🇷 Saludos desde Argentina!

[@vanialaura1349]

A lot of job , and finily you made a great song for us, congratulations 👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤❤from Brasil São Paulo

[@jimcawthard8631]

Great video. I love this!!!

[@cremer007]

Never heard of it started with a kiss ?? Shame on you Krafty . Great song

[@MattyFitt73]

Love this, Crafty. I'd heard about this rushed / sick Shaun session coming together from Darren already, but this is still amazing that you can all put this on so quickly. Very funny intro and outro. Keep 'em coming for 2024!

[@chisel83]

👍👍

[@bida123]

everything in life is a construction... nothing is easy

[@NigelWaddington-z3o]

Let us know when you guys are in the uk

[@cremer007]

Is it possible to just be given a sheet of music and play from that ? But I guess because covers are quite often not identical to the original no sheet music exists for Darren’s interpretation ?

[@singitliveworld]

Because every session is different (performer-wise) everyone contributes differently and it gives our version a unique approach. This track would be so different just by swapping out any of the members

[@cremer007]

@@singitliveworld look fantastic setup and music . I’m hoping you go on to more and greater successes than HSCC . You Darren have remained to your credit very stoic about what I believe was an acrimonious split . Never publicly venting which is an admirable quality . I saw you all perform live at the Bridgeway seemingly all happy and then suddenly you’re GONE and it’s because of that I can’t help but always click on their Friday performances immediately in a kind of negative mood or approach even though I absolutely love Danny and Jordan . That said , will you then kind of follow HSCC and have a core group of performers and just keep rotating through them or will you take any and all performers that want to be a part of your vision for performing . Do performers approach you or do you approach them ? Love to know how it works , perhaps a little insight …pretty please .

[@JohanaPage]

🤣🤣🤣 ahahahahahaaaa this is so good! That moment you’ve never heard the song before?! 🫠🫠 “should be… interesting” 😂 love this, well done
