Calling it now. Best Like A Version of 2021

[@HarryJamesH]

AMAZING!

[@Luke-ri5fo]

Nah Hayley Mary doing Chemtrails Over The Country Club is the best of 2021.

[@mathewoconnor1319]

close but not as good as Sly covering The Scientist

[@sx-mt-fd]

It's got nothing on the wiggles cover

[@bettertomorrow85]

This is a pretty good like a version and the last ones where not that great tbh. but not sure if the best of 2021. My favs are JK-47, Hope D, Tyne-James Organ and this one... not sure what's the best one of this.

[@Sam-zz3ms]

This is still one of my favourite covers! Gretta is one-of-a-kind.

[@csarcsarcsar]

One of Australia’s best voices singing one the best songs from one of Australia’s best bands. Cannot go wrong with that combo! Loved every second of this! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ThaiTalkwithPaddy]

This is a bloody beautiful cover of an amazing song! Gretta Ray killin’ it

[@josiahfarrell6407]

I’m am the biggest fan of gang of youths and she sings it with so much care it’s done superbly love Gretta ray my girl dosent disappoint 😁👊🏾

[@polthedestroyer]

That cymbal steady grab at the end of that held note right at 2:05? Chills. Oh my god.

[@kateb8079]

Greta is always so clean and pure and honest-sounding. So so so suits the raw and unbound sounds of Gang of Youths. Beautiful!

[@chasingawesome9870]

Wow. Watching the growth of Gretta over the past five years has been so rewarding. From Triple J Unearthed High winner to the powerhouse she is today.

[@kaitlynkrause9090]

Her voice has such a beautiful clarity to it. This song strikes straight to my soul every time I hear it and this cover really does it justice - I was not ready for that crescendo!!!

[@BestFootForwardShoes]

Japanese Wallpaper in the band? hell yeah!

[@heathersherlock]

Winner! I have loved Gretta since she won Unearthed High. Love her voice, the production was excellent, band was tight and I love Gang of Youths. Winner, winner, winner.

[@siennasaurus26]

what the actual fuck. this is so good.

[@sachitechless]

Holy crap the way it just picks up towards the end and crescendos sent chills down my spine it's so good

[@eddieMFsauceboy]

Keep coming back here. Everything about this - her, her voice, the reverb, the airy-ness. It's all so beautiful. Love Gang of Youths and its great seeing up and comers already covering them.

[@danielfitzgerald7111]

Uma Thurman has some pipes 🤙🏼

[@winterwolf9376]

First time I've heard the song covered & first time I've heard Gretta Ray sing. She owned the song clearly with joy. C'mon Dave.. get this lass up on stage for a duet!

[@meganking2205]

she actually toured with them and they had her sing this and joined her!

[@winterwolf9376]

@@meganking2205 That's epic. Would have been amazing to see live.

[@HunterFrigault]

As someone who holds the original near & dear to my heart, this was absolutely incredible. Thank you times a million for this.

[@trashonvideo]

Saw Gretta on the Woodford programme and this was my first thing to find of hers. Just incredible vocal control and a beautiful retelling of one of the best GoY songs. So keen for her show

[@grantpalmer85]

Genuinely my favorite song.. ive hunted long and wide for worthy covers; and this is right after the gang of yourhs triple j live version.. amazing job.. much love

[@ajmcnab3651]

Would froth for a Dave Lepepe/Greta Ray duet of this song

[@theotan4410]

Omg yes I was just thinking that

[@rasza0]

She said that he features on one of her new songs

[@MrBeefyweefs]

ugh fuck yes

[@benlivera8581]

Your wish has been granted 👍🏽

[@Misskitttyrr]

They did it in Sydney last noght

[@ellarobertson5431]

Love how she put her own spin on this incredible song. Big thumbs up, Gretta xx

[@danarmstrong7203]

This has captured me for over a month now. Not sure what it is but it's got a certain magic to it. I didn't even know who she was till I heard this

[@indocrites]

i've watched this on a loop for like, 2 hours no joke

[@lairdhercules4553]

Just discovered Gang of Youths and this song stood out to me and what an amazing cover. Thanks Gretta!

[@simonpearson9491]

What a beautiful voice....and the drummer being so present made it feel even more great

[@RivenRaven]

Towards the end when they were both smiling and straight up vibin was great

[@Keeahn]

🌞✨Her voice is like sunshine ✨🌞

[@CateB66]

2018, I took my son to see Mumford and Sons in Brissy. Gretta opened….THANK YOU!

[@becmcgeown3733]

It’s the use of her hands that does it for me

[@MC-wy3ow]

Pure gold

[@emmagarison1595]

Man, this is just incredible. Gretta looks so to be truly enjoying herself too. Wholesome content.

[@Clipzy2013]

Bloody brilliant! Wouldn't expect anything less with Gretta and Gab collaborating. Just perfect.

[@QKvox]

She needs to more music in this style COME ON!!!!!!!!!

[@joytaylor1920]

One of my fave female artists singing one of my fave songs!! An absolute, perfect rendition that gave me chills!

[@wyowyo]

gretta ray has such a clean and powerful voice, its incredible! gives me shivers

[@calvinvogt4396]

this is genuinely the best LAV i've heard in forever

[@elmonchis2]

Lyrics: There's a sky full of lights And none of them stars But each white, silvery flicker's A faithful reminder to us Of a weight that's in youth That makes a dick of us all If it happened today Then it's probably happened before In a crowd unfamiliar I just wanna touch a familiar face And make friends at the parties I've feared The likes of an age To be wanted with truth And make formidable love See light in myself That I see inside everyone else I know It's not a lacking of spine Nor of physical pulse It's just a feeling of distance Akin to a feeling of loss Of love in the youth Of my limited life That passed in a violent And ritual screwing inside And the years unfamiliar Are made of increasingly digital days And I am grieving the loss of myself With frightening malaise When there's weightless in youth And the sum of it's small Just stand in the darkness And laugh with your heel on its throat 'Cause not everything means something, honey So say the unsayable Say the most human of things And if everything is temporary I will bear the unbearable Terrible triteness of being Alone in my house Frozen in time But don't get me wrong now, honey I am trying There's a warmth in the eyes And a clearness of thought When the deepest of sighs And the frankest of shadows are gone We're pushing a stone Up a mountainous waste And the lines at the store Look like lines on a beautiful face See, I'm not so assured Nor unusually strong Or outstandingly brave I'm more just fumbling around in the dark For the bulk of my day When there's weight that's in youth And the sum of it's small I will stand in the darkness And laugh with my heel on its throat And not everything means something, honey So say the unsayable Say the most human of things And if everything is temporary I will bear the unbearable Terrible triteness of being Alone in my house Frozen away But don't get me wrong now, honey I'm okay Ah, cast me a line Ah honey, cast me a line Won't you fear me tonight? Goddamn, do you fear me tonight? Ah, pass me a light Ah honey, pass me a light Won't you feel me tonight? Goddamn do you feel me tonight? 'Cause not everything means something, honey So say the unsayable Say the most human of things If everything is temporary I will bear the unbearable Terrible triteness of being

[@sammyott5288]

Voice of an angel ❤

[@bettertomorrow85]

I just listend to other stuff from her and she should def. do more songs like this. Fit's her voice very well.

[@tickoftime91]

Gretta casting us a light. What an absolute gem.

[@MelMaltby]

5 minutes of pure bliss I can’t get over Gretta shes so BEUATIFULLLL

[@JellyCatGaming]

[@adamminehan1526]

This gave me a big ol' case of the soul shivers!

[@sarahcross9325]

Same

[@juzzymcb]

“Soul Shivers” I love that! Such an accurate way to describe that feeling 🥰

[@bentbitz1]

There' just so much great talent in this world of ours.!!!

[@benl5620]

Loved this cover. Searched for Gretta afterwards and found out that I already heard her song "Drive" a while back on soundcloud and was hoping that she would get more attention :)

[@dannychristie5628]

This makes my heart melt.

[@Alice_Walker]

Beautiful and an awesome companion to Odette's version of Magnolia 👌🏻

[@Natromat]

Japanese Wallpaper absolutely bringing this cover to life, production is top notch

[@francoisready3133]

Watches whole video, fondly remembering that time I saw Gretta live... Hang on, she was in the process of touring the States with Gang of Youths. Makes sense now!

[@minksrule2196]

This was a beautiful cover and omg her outfit! That is something I would wear for sure!

[@anneka3010]

why have i only just listened to this now - it's beauuutiful

[@davemartin7994]

Got Goosebumps. Wow. Beautiful version. 🩵

[@Monkeyseemonkey79]

Her voice is so unique. Such clean diction. Has an almost Sinatra quality.

[@dvfallon6345]

Beautiful.

[@idontdodishes8018]

Absolutely brilliant 👏 👌

[@scottcarder9543]

I love your beautiful voice Greta. Beautiful performances. You hit those notes each time beautiful

[@meganrush8681]

[@williamlee4179]

[@timhorrigan1973]

Wow. Greta rises to the challenge of an epic piece and defines “cool” in the process. She’s a star.

[@camh3870]

This is phenomenal quality

[@mfanwelikeit3760]

Goosebumps

[@BilloFactory]

I'm in tears

[@isabellajackson4532]

Incredible! Best like a version this year 🧡🧡

[@MikeLawrencePhoto]

So many incredible songs in this series

[@johandewit8418]

Amazing cover of one of my most favorite songs ever! Well done Gretta Ray!

[@charmoffinchesband]

Gretta you nailed it! xxxx

[@bladerunner_77]

Her performance is amazing. 💜

[@garymcghee2832]

This is just perfect. Saw her with band and Gang of Youths in Perth on the weekend. For this 51yo, her own performance was ok but not on the same level as this cover. She did a great solo intro to this for the Youths though. She and the Youths are so good for each other, and I hope they stay together and keep reaching high.

[@philshoward9340]

ugh this came up on my feed again from last year and it gets me everytime. that build up

[@debbiefuller2197]

Love, love, loved this. Gretta your voice and you are amazing.

[@gregcorrig]

this one is getting me right in the feels

[@kvinettaf09]

Dude. Incredible. Didn't think anyone could compete with the original of this song.

[@philshoward9340]

this song has understanding in abundance

[@alexandragrace8164]

Her voice…. Just wow. Such a fan of this song and she really makes it her own.

[@Alicia1976ish]

Chills the whole way 🥺

[@garymiller4616]

She sang this at their Sydney show this year and was outstanding, such a great voice

[@julesburke5996]

THIS RIGHT HERE IS THE REASON I LOVE LIKE A VERSION. BECAUSE THIS COVERS CUTE AF AND I HAD LITERALLY NO IDEA WHO GRETA RAY WAS BEFORE THIS

[@happycamper5012]

Give her a few days til her debut album comes out. She will have a whole slew of new songs and bangers for you to fall in love with! She's truly amazing

[@annag3691]

Gretta, you are magic.

[@jeremyburke6595]

Wow. Just wow! I love the original but this is something else.
