Cover of the year. Absolute gorgeous. These boys need to get way more attention.

[@13dirty666]

***** oh fuck off will you

[@rbeach777]

ha.. lost context now.. the post above was become some idiot spammed some stupid ad..

[@MSJTOTHEHELLO]

Pretty awesome

[@PhilipJFry-qy7jm]

13dirty666 and then once they achieve fame you'll be ranting on about how you want the "old" Gang of Youths back...

[@13dirty666]

Philip J. Fry huh? They've already changed quite a bit in the three years I've listened to them and I haven't been disappointed yet. If your perception on everyone who is proactive about finding new music is they hate when something goes then you are very wrong. Nice random, uncalled for personal attack but it's only showing your own insecurities. I love plenty of bands which have changed their style of time, like Radiohead, U2, Coldplay, Queens of the Stone Age, Killers, INXS, Cure etc. and sometimes I don't like the direction a band changes to. So what, so does everyone else.

[@itsmarcooooo]

so good to have this back on youtube finally!!!

[@borris3768]

man i remember searching the web trying to find this video. So glad its back

[@thatdudefromthebackseat7675]

Probably the best cover of all time.

[@borris3768]

its unreal how good this song is

[@CarbonSolutions]

I keep watching this and thinking that if the singer starts strumming about 2bpm too fast at the opening, this whole song collapses halfway through when the drummers can’t maintain those 16ths at the end. Absolutely epic.

[@themisfortunecookie]

I was thinking the exact same thing. He kept time perfectly throughout, which is not as easy as one might think. Especially when you take in account that he is also singing. This is a great cover. You should check out their other Like a Version when they cover The Middle East song Blood. It's spot on as well.

[@Edtollet430]

My favourite LAV of all time

[@samanthamitchell4115]

Every time I watch this, tears be blurring my vision by the end. Every time.

[@ColinBrandtYYC]

The way that this song - right from the opening guitar line through to the crescendo - draws a beautiful line from Joy Division right through to LCD Soundsystem really unlocked something in my brain tonight. What a cover.

[@waldo109]

It's back!!! Holy shit, it's back!

[@cutieowl347]

This is absolutely amazing, I keep listening to it over and over again. I feel it in my soul.

[@maniaciswicked]

Checking in with the like a version hottest 100 upcoming. Not sure anything can top this for me.

[@finnianjoyce-velez8079]

Recently went through, my first major heart break. Left class with my heart wanting to jump out of my chest, lighting a cigarette and the line about 45 turns came in and all I could do is laugh. Somehow this song made everything feel alright in that moment

[@nopenoteven9612]

It's back! F YEAH

[@gustavoluz9267]

I love this version so much! Thanks you guys to make this possible!

[@danibecky8315]

Still get emotional on this one. I first saw this back in maybe 2017 and I was shocked it hasn’t got more views over the years. Simply brilliant performance. I get chills.

[@peterhockin9283]

Just simply fantastic. What a band.

[@luuuv2]

first experience with this cover, how did this get missed so many years ago? absolutely unbelievable! have to agree with so many of the comments, GOY just incredible, taken the mind back to another time

[@quivo6124]

I have no idea who these guys but they did the song justice, a very sick cover. One of my favorite songs

[@CarRamRod1992]

Saw this live at mojos in Fremantle and it honestly nearly blew the roof off! Great times ❤

[@borris3768]

you are one lucky human being

[@sugar-rushsue5270]

So good to see this back. I voted it #1 😊 I also voted their cover of Blood in my top ten - this is better though, by a smidge

[@samanthamitchell4115]

Hard agree!!!!!

[@narellebarrett621]

Voted Blood my all time number one

[@taintedtroll7051]

Blood was unbelievable

[@Ceriff88]

Threw the thumbs up 20 seconds in because I can already tell I'm going to listen again and again.

[@carmenaquilina2431]

I just heard this song yesterday….AMAZING!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Brisbaneguy30]

So glad this is back on KZbin

[@cathyhodge399]

Thank you for putting the video back up. It started my love affair with GOY.

[@samanthamitchell4115]

This is the video that started my GOY obsession. Can't believe it has so few views on youtube even now! Considering at least 10k of those views are mine lol kzbin.infoX9CDS3Qi9X0?feature=share

[@rl3799]

Hope this stays up this time around!

[@scottmacleod8790]

to beautiful I love yous!!!

[@carmenaquilina2431]

I fucking love you guys!!❤❤❤

[@maxkopfraum]

epic double time

[@ogatalars5835]

That's how it starts We go back to your house We check the charts And start to figure it out And if it's crowded, all the better Because we know we're gonna be up late But if you're worried about the weather Then you picked the wrong place to stay That's how it starts And so it starts You switch the engine on We set controls for the heart of the Sun One of the ways we show our age And if the Sun comes up, if the Sun comes up, if the Sun comes up And I still don't wanna stagger home Then it's the memory of our betters That are keeping us on our feet You spent the first five years trying to get with the plan And the next five years trying to be with your friends again You\'re talking 45 turns just as fast as you can Yeah, I know it gets tired, but it\'s better when we pretend It comes apart The way it does in bad films Except in parts When the moral kicks in Though when we're running out of the drugs And the conversation's winding away I wouldn't trade one stupid decision For another five years of lies You drop the first ten years just as fast as you can And the next ten people who are trying to be polite When you're blowing eighty-five days in the middle of France Yeah, I know it gets tired only where are your friends tonight? And to tell the truth Oh, this could be the last time So here we go Like a sail's force into the night And if I made a fool, if I made a fool, if I made a fool On the road, there's always this And if I'm sewn into submission I can still come home to this And with a face like a dad and a laughable stand You can sleep on the plane or review what you said When you're drunk and the kids leave impossible tasks You think over and over, "hey, I'm finally dead" Oh, if the trip and the plan come apart in your hand You look contorted on yourself your ridiculous prop You forgot what you meant when you read what you said And you always knew you were tired, but then Where are your friends tonight? Where are your friends tonight? Where are your friends tonight? If I could see all my friends tonight If I could see all my friends tonight If I could see all my friends tonight If I could see all my friends tonight

[@timmcgrath9708]

Fantastic! Would also highly recommend Kodalines version

[@benjidubs826]

What? Two of my favourites. How the fuck did I not see this at any point in the last decade? Given the sheer number of god-awful LaVs from Lime Cordiale, DMA'S, etc somehow charting in H100s past...it's a travesty this didn't blow up.

[@maxmorlock697]

Wow

[@jaxareback311]

Please....Please....Please leave it up.....for the love of God and all that's right with the world , leave it up.....!!!.

[@donnachamccormack6330]

The greatest song ever written? Just saying. Maybe

[@TheNanper]

1st time that the cover its way much better than the OG ( still a good one ) well done!!!!

[@mpcgod6987]

this aint tally hall

[@timpekarek9159]

Sydney, I love you but you're bringing me down.

[@user-tb1ob3zb9s]

Kephri Egyptian God of the Akashic Libary real one L571 and L758 Hygiene Timeline glitches light codes

[@tarotsport1451]

Most racially diverse band in history

[@VvexX]

Who the fuck are these guys and why do they evoke such emotion within? I'm sold...give me more.

[@13dirty666]

Mark Harkness buy The Positions man and prepare to go on an emotional roller coaster.

[@VvexX]

13dirty666 Thanks!

[@ThemowofChow]

Holy Shit I cannot believe how good this is. New favourite song.

[@Gherkinz]

So much build up, so much energy, so much wow. My favorite for the year so far.

[@michaeldaly6662]

isn't it a great start to the weekend when you go on to youtube looking for new music to listen to and stumble across something as mindblowingly brilliant as this.....and this coming from a metal fan.

[@mareedownes4944]

This is one of the best LAVs .....guitar work, vocals....spine tingling.........fantastic cover.

[@lavateddy]

One thing is a good cover, another is to capture the soul of the original song. This cover does the latter so perfectly, making this one of the best fucking songs this year.

[@thexulterius]

this was really really really good

[@Jordy2136]

I really, really, really like this song.

[@Thomas-mo3uh]

Morpheus Dorpheus It's all yours my friend.

[@bourdeaufurniture3629]

these guys are my favourites at the moment. good vibe! I've been on holidays for the past 3 weeks. Gang of youths have been burning through my speakers none stop...love love love

[@robinkesterson6878]

These guys rocked it out in that little radio station studio. Probably the best Like A Version I've heard.

[@FrazzleMuff]

To be honest I had barely heard of Gang of Youths before watching this vid, will definitely be investing some time to find out more about them. Loved this.

[@13dirty666]

they are a brutally honest band. They've only released a few songs but theres a few tearjerkers. According to their lead singer, he wrote most of the songs about his girlfriend who had a terminal illness

[@Babarky]

Smashed that to pieces

[@minnerbren45]

this is probably my fav like a version ever

[@rubymilne6651]

Absolutely stunning. I love this band so much and this is a physical reason why. I could listen to this all day

[@8bitDude0]

EVERYBODY in this band is so incredibly talented. Amazing cover!

[@omakron35]

So good to see a bunch of true musicians really grooving to the music. Great job guys!

[@keegan9632]

I wish I could hear this song for the first time again. Such a satisfying sound across the board

[@xarrox123]

That cover is amazing. Wow!!!The drummer goes on and on like crazy.

[@BuildingAssets1]

Like a version of the year. Ive listened to it 15 times and still rate it! Wonder if James Murphy has heard it .... betcha he'd bloody love it! Well done!!

[@jimsherls]

One of the best bands in Australia right now, absolutely crushed it.

[@lewisobrecht]

i have played this video over 100 times!! play it just before im leaving the office every day

[@Darchie]

What a voice and an absolutely amazing song. This cover is something else. Love the original too.

[@rubymilne6651]

7 months later and this is still my all time favourite like i version.

[@grantmcgarryable]

best song in a long time

[@tempo77]

Definitely one of my all time favourite songs. So much energy and passion....amazing.

[@rachelgriffiths6349]

Brilliant cover...listened this morning but another listen after reminding myself of the original, this is very cool. Well done guys, brilliant vocals.

[@mintynovember8458]

Spot on!

[@connorwood5493]

The emotion in this cover is unreal. It makes me want to hop in a car, crank this up to max volume, and drive until I run out of gas just to see where I end up.

[@foreverastarkid]

so so soooooo good. Dave has the best voice.

[@plyalex]

Loved seeing these guys live last year! And this Like a Version is mint!

[@leonobrien7845]

the best like a version ever one that will last in my book

[@rchrist4]

Dope! Also, released on birthday, wish I'd heard it on the day! This is a gift for the world!

[@rallychamp2003]

wow - fantastic version of a great song. Perfection.

[@mgthomas7812]

so much talent!!! woah!!!

[@RowlandPercy]

best Like a Version in a VERY long time

[@patali09]

Absolutely sensational.

[@jpjbassking]

I would really love to know who was the one person who down voted this. One of the best covers on Like A Version ever, shivers. LCD would be proud

[@harryh9841]

You know its passion when you see dave removing his broken string at the end haha

[@lapa3548]

amazing. simply amazing.

[@rexcaruana5800]

Probably the best song on Like A Version ever!!!

[@DavidMartinAustralia]

+Rex Caruana Pretty good but Highasakite - Heavenly Father and Tuka - Big Jet Plane stand out as my 1 and 2. Gang of Youths are on my high rotation at the moment - Kansas is quite special.

[@rexcaruana5800]

Tuka & Co were amazing thanks for the tip.

[@CForeman83]

This cover doesn't get enough credit. Made my top ten this last year. Amazing vocals and build up.

[@IamPixelism]

and i can say i am now a fan love this song

[@AugustusAus]

So perfect!

[@Str8OttaCompton]

Well shit man, the lead vocalist broke a string in there somewhere yet everything sounded fantastic all the way through. I wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't actually SEEN him pull out the busted one at the very end, after no less than 15 viewings of this video. I've never seen such a unanimously affirmative comment section, either. I'm all about this, I'll go buy the album. Well did, boys.

[@B0WERS117]

This knocks glass animals off top spot as my favourite like a version.

[@AtticusIRL]

Lead singer reminds me so much of Jason Momoa with an angelic voice.

[@kiwiramjet5625]

That voice.

[@colj001]

brilliant cover for one of my favorites

[@Rowan_C]

This is great. Absolutely great.

[@chorthithian]

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT IM MINDBLOWN!!!!!! like, omg, im literally spechless. the way the song gradually increased in energy was so god damn amazing! so many times do people attempt this technique of gradually increasing energy, but to do it flawlessly in a 7-minute long song?? i can COUNT with my fingers the number of people that can do it, to such a degree of perfection that they make the song appear to be 2 minutes long instead of 7 as they drive you through the most beautiful path that the song paints. jesus christ. in the original, the piano is like a base element in the song, and here, there is no piano, but the most creative awesome guitar sounds and perfectly overlapped bass and main guitar and voice that it completely shines out as a perfect alternative to the original song. add to that the freaking energy that the drums take at like minute 4:30, how the hell is that drummer even achieving such a speed? well, honestly, when in the heat of the moment, holy fuck even i could do that. never have i ever seen a cover of this quality; of this perfection that simply overwhelms me. this is PRECISELY what a cover should be like, jesus guys, this video just changed my concept of cover even. Murphy would shed a tear.

[@xarrox123]

Mau Mou The drummer is realy crazy, amazing.

[@patali09]

Mau Mou What a great read. Nice comment.

[@chorthithian]

Hohay Hunt ty :3

[@AxlRoulley]

+Mau Mou excellent summation of this version..

[@samanthastevenson9413]

+Mau Mou woah great description for someone who was "like omg im literally speechless" haha :)

[@Mrsoggywheatbix]

bloody fantastic!!

[@eamonnoneill1317]

They're gonna get big!

[@meldrago]

This is so amazing I just think it's done the original justice, and then some. Well done my favourite this year by far when can I buy it.

[@sonofagreatsouthernland]

Killer cover! Epic build up, driving drum, bass line and haunting vocals. Thanks very much GOY and JJJ!

[@cutpastetiedye]

Never heard of these guys before, but GREAT cover. Will give a listen.

[@williamraudenbush8847]

Just bought a $10 ticket to go see them at the Mercury, well played sirs, instantly stoked on these kids.

[@CounterTunes]

this is bloody amazing

[@mbilas86]

Fantastic!!!

[@AlexSc0tt]

That was beautiful.

[@brendonmcgrath8422]

Great Version

[@icandomusicme]

[@McRagic]

[@pedrotofani]
