Amazing vocal harmonies!! Well done! Great interpretation of an old classic.

[@JoshBryan]

Just found this. Very well done!!!

[@RaelWander]

Fantastic performance! I always felt there was an awe-inspiring ambient choir song lurking somewhere in the original. Thank you for making it real. I'll be keeping an eye out for your work for sure.

[@callif.9679]

This is BEAUTIFUL OH MY GOD

[@fosatech]

MORE COWBELL, DAMMIT!

[@theultimatereductionist7592]

I've got a fever! And the only prescription ... is more COWBELL!

[@johnnyjohnny3117]

Original stuff bro.

[@andrewlloyd1198]

They really did think about how much cowbell was required. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3e3d4eOebStd8U

[@ВадимФинашин]

Brilliant!

[@fairskyze]

A-mazing. 🥰

[@LifesignsmusicLtd]

Gawjus! :)

[@Mangaproduction-sl9wz]

Still think the best version is the one they shown in the show the originals.

[@tedjones403]

Interesting...

[@xcdkr316]

不思議な感じ

[@self1sch]

Is this a Christian band?

[@MerijnH]

Does it matter?

[@self1sch]

@@MerijnH For me it does, yes.

[@me_yessik]

I really love the sparseness of this performance .. this setup for a group feels so unique, three vocalists, minimal drums and just a little synth. Really cool. I wish i could see more groups like this.

[@zonsius]

Excellent interpretation and performances.

[@aline4909]

The best cover I've ever seen❤

[@derekpauly4130]

Got to say I'm pretty impressed on the harmonization

[@jetephant223]

It’s almost poetic really; a trio of angels telling me not to fear the reaper.

[@TheSmackAttackMusic]

Actually brought me chills and tears in my eyes, amazing.

[@chromesthesia]

Wait it is ESPERA HI Y'ALL!!!!!

[@djorlan]

Amazing! The best cover from an intelligent and sensitive viewpoint. Big up!

[@yasmineyahyaoui-v3m]

sleep token backup vocalistes???

[@larrybaker9924]

I would love to hear monks put this to a chant in Latin.

[@MoiraRussell]

Otherworldly!

[@adamturner5005]

omg i was dying for the final verse :( amazing

[@KeithOtisEdwards]

It's a fine song, but this etherial version is actually better than the original. This is what musicianship is all about.

[@sarahlouise6507]

Please dont give up i dont care what people think you guys rock please keep doing what you love it works

[@willieg7895]

We need cowbell! And more cowbell! I have a fever and the only cure is more COWBELL! I want some COWBELL!

[@ForEverRon]

I knew there was something missing 🤔

[@MoonShadowz]

I would really love to see more of them o.o

[@quinnflorence]

Loved you take on this old school song. I can’t stop singing along whenever I play it when I need music to power though the day. Great job lady’s and good luck in your next singing project or just musical creation. Take care everyone and stay safe out there.

[@lexistacy9980]

Needs little more flavor

[@deamonspade808]

its great but I kinda wish they did a classical instrumental version with their beautiful voices

[@hdanielburgess]

i feel like the song comes out better this way..the true meaning

[@l.salisbury1253]

Remember: this is the song Bonnie Plunkett gave birth to... went into labor while attending a BoC concert!

[@b0neme]

I'm sure you've heard this before: "MORE COWBELL!!"

[@lexistacy9980]

It needs a guitar or keys give it rhythm

[@JohnnyMonsarratBoston]

Wow! Amazing performance.

[@jeh1st]

[Christopher Walken has left the chat]

[@mattcalfee6781]

Definitely different 💁🏽‍♂️

[@richlargent5665]

I very much enjoyed this ... Thank you

[@robbyg8073]

Mind blowing. These chicks are angels. God bless them and also all who appreciate this masterpiece.

[@bob2161]

I like it, I like it. Really pretty voices, beautiful harmonizing. Nicely done.

[@andrewdavies3927]

Love the original Was looking for another twist on it. Daddy why is there a tear on your cheek as I listen. Thank you

[@MaxxDoberman]

Scary good 👍 👍 but it could use more cowbell.

[@EspaALSC]

This was eerie, otherworldly and overall beautiful! you did a wonderful job, you guys.

[@cawfeedawg]

Covid virus brought me here.

[@mentaltelepathy24]

[@MowiMovesToMars]

[@texaspete817]

Beautifully done ladies great job!

[@tz7813]

All our times have come Here but now they're gone Seasons don't fear the reaper Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain We can be like they are Come on, baby (don't fear the reaper) Baby, take my hand (don't fear the reaper) We'll be able to fly (don't fear the reaper) Baby, I'm your man La, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la Valentine is done Here but now they're gone Romeo and Juliet Are together in eternity (Romeo and Juliet) 40, 000 men and women everyday (like Romeo and Juliet) 40, 000 men and women everyday (redefine happiness) Another 40, 000 coming everyday (we can be like they are) Come on, baby (don't fear the reaper) Baby, take my hand (don't fear the reaper) We'll be able to fly (don't fear the reaper) Baby, I'm your man La, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la Love of two is one Here but now they're gone Came the last night of sadness And it was clear she couldn't go on Then the door was open and the wind appeared The candles blew and then disappeared The curtains flew and then he appeared Saying don't be afraid Come on, baby (and she had no fear) And she ran to him (then they started to fly) They looked backward and said goodbye (she had become like they are) She had taken his hand (she had become like they are) Come on, baby (don't fear the reaper)

[@javier232]

This is beautiful! I just subscribed!

[@HardwareG33k]

Gorgeous interpretation. Was really hoping for some proper drums to kick in about halfway through though. But hey, what do I know.

[@adriansmith6993]

Very nice version of this Cult favorite. Beautiful harmonies. I look forward in hearing more from you all. ❤

[@PMCollectorAdam]

A fantastically unique cover of this masterpiece. Superb efforts by all, congrats.

[@leza6288]

Beautiful!!!

[@peterikarlstad]

Beautifu rendition! But...it needs more cowbell!

[@friendofcoal]

Beautiful.....

[@ZuccaEZagara]

Reminiscent of the ambience of Dark Bombastic Evening.

[@TiffanyCooperage]

Beautiful voices!

[@chefbanjo8139]

It sounded great, but I gotta be honest: I coulda used more cowbell.

[@craizcat2276]

I got to say, the first line is quite creepy. But great cover nonetheless the less!

[@paintnamer6403]

This song will be in the last movie Quentin Tarantino makes.

[@paulj9657]

Do I really have to say it? MORE cowbell!!

[@chromesthesia]

Eee their voices taste so good! *synesthesia things*

[@caliomaston42418]

Good gugga mugga.. beautiful.. well done.

[@KevRalph]

Nice, reminds me of my son's acapella group

[@andikoerper9379]

Uhhhh....that is awesomly nice.

[@simoncasson3327]

Great and unique version...

[@TheHobofosho]

Listen at 1.5x thank me later.

[@bobbybobby5532]

I laughed when I did this! I didn't think they could get any worse but speeding it up made it worse! 😂

[@raymondmiller9176]

This song is wonderful you girls did a great job I like it

[@ForEverRon]

Where's the guitar solo? 🧐

[@Nimbus505]

So they just disappeared

[@johnhanek167]

I'm sure it's art in music, but BOC are the only ones who truly give this song the sound it begs for.

[@callamastia]

cowbell.

[@deborahadkinson5079]

Heard so many variations of this song, but it’s BOC’s baby. They bring it to life!

[@mitchellsmith4690]

LOVE BOC! But a great song can be versitile, be used to express many other interpretations....this excellent!

[@NASCARCUP22FAN]

Where are yalls other songs? Common now.

[@ryveralhara2749]

I simply love this. I want the whole song.

[@97Mizzo]

Love this rendition so much ❤

[@heathercallow1558]

Thats more creepy then the original

[@AdamJMMason]

Absolutely incredible. The purity of your voices and perfect harmonization come together to create an absolutely soul gripping version of this song. Well done

[@Kuato]

Oh relax

[@derBorB]

[@FernAngelBeattie]

[@gointotruthnomatterwhat4541]

incredible!!!

[@cambloklandmusic]

Beautiful

[@Radocruz]

Fantastic.

[@abumaor]

It should be illegal to perform this song without a cowbell.

[@shaunryan6646]

This is nearly a cappella - the singers aren’t bad, but I don’t think it works

[@jlphoenix3866]

And that’s how you destroy a classic.

[@Crunkboy415]

Needs more cowbell.
