Trevor wignall that’s what I was thinking.

[@CrainBramp]

Styles swagged that shit. You can tell he loves the song, and did it more than justice. Even Gabriel gave him a retweet.

[@AnyoneCanSee]

Well, Gabriel obviously had to sign off on agreeing for him to do the cover version. For me, it is way too close to the original. If you are going to completely copy a song note for note, I don't really understand the point in doing it. But if it makes him and his fans happy and he has Gabriel's blessing I guess it doesn't matter what I think.

All the older people in these comments saying they're a fan of this cover is so wholesome tbh

It's cause he /All of them, Absolutely NAILED IT. If I ever do covers, I go for the album versions. (was in a radiohead tribute band, stand-up drums and lead vocals ..and we all listened) .. SO RAD this guy understands WHY a song is awesome in the first place. Don't get me wrong.. Jeff Buckley's cover of "Hallelujah" is one of the 8 wonders of the world.. but those are Somewhat rare.

[@lildouche731]

I am grandma-age old and remember the original version. A couple of months ago I was refusing to listen to Harry since he was formerly in a boy band. I had read nice reviews of his latest CD and thought about listening, but I was still too stubborn. What did make me say WTH just listen to one song was his "Juice" cover, and I just sat there in awe when the song was finished. So I found more songs, bought both CDs, and asked my adult daughter (who also likes his music) if she wants to go to his concert when he comes our way. Yes, we are going! And I am so excited. He did a wonderful version of this song, one of my all time fave songs.

[@sassy9182]

I'm 51 and a new fan. I was aware of 1D, but didn't listen to their music until recently. They were good together, but man, Harry just shines going solo.

[@portagenial]

I'm not surprised on his singing, i know he's got talent, what shocked me is how faithful the cover is, it really good and shows love and respect for the original

[@Dlogreen]

Very well said

[@scottcatermusic]

well put

[@phillyfan70]

I agree with how faithful the cover was. It's clear he was definitely influenced by Peter Gabriel and has tons of respect for him. Sounded like a young Peter. Loved how he put in all of the 'vocal quirks' of the song and even the body movements were very 'Peteresque'. As a huge Gabriel fan this was very enjoyable. Job well done.

[@andrewturner5507]

[@sabjitathwal3235]

I’m 60 years old and I remember the original very clearly. Having followed Genesis right from the start, and Peter Gabriel from his departure from Genesis, throughout his career I can say Harry Styles has done an excellent cover. The bass sounds so good and the band is very tight.. I like this a lot.

[@jeffblack8457]

Straightforward, professional cover. I'm not really sure why it was necessary. I like Harry Styles very much; always feel a cover should be something more than a singer doing his best to sound as much like the original recording as possible.

I’m 64 and I agree!

This is not a cover - it's an exact copy. And I mean that as a huge compliment.

[@nextplanet7100]

Yes

[@jennifersteinberg9306]

Exactly

[@oliviermalhomme9923]

I do not. Who would care for a copy which is doomed to fail compared to the original. WHo would go hear a xerox ? I want to hear artists put their musical vision in their cover, take risks, propose another reading. When Judas Priest covers Diamond and Rust, it is their own version. When Toris Amos covers Smells Like Teen Spirit, it doesn't in anyway ressembles the original.

[@gfailen]

In my opinion, this is a 95% copy, and I would’ve prefered either a 99 % (100 % is of course impossible), or a cover. This recreation seems to be in the middle. Well executed, but in the middle. Also, some of the groove is missing.

[@chocluva2678]

If you're gonna cover a song, do it exactly as the original, it's a major compliment to the artist. This was AWESOME!

This isn't just a cover. This is an homage to one of the best songs ever. The original's video may have contributed into it being huge, burning it's way into the retinas of the MTV generation, and becoming an iconic image of the 80s. It was first and foremost a bloody good song. Styles and the band should be commended on such an excellent job.

Harry's solo stuff is some of the best music that has been put out in the last few years.
