I love how she dances

[@JaguarJonze]

Thank you :P

[@evanreza4712]

She went to the Charlie Brown Christmas School of Dance

[@donalgillespie9013]

She's got moves

[@jasonrowe8871]

Same. Just something about her moves that makes me like it, no matter the music or the "look".

[@fuckya1260]

Haha so good!

[@JaguarJonze]

I wish someone had told me to comb my unkempt left eyebrow haha. Thank you Hermy & triple j for this moment

[@damianhillas6673]

Jaguar Jonze it’s a tough gig covering Nirvana, but you guys nailed it!!

[@ProudMele]

Miss Lynch! I lerrrrrve this

[@Chillzy]

well played

[@janemorrow6672]

Loved it! Didn’t notice the eyebrow.

[@Axenicsecond]

No ones looking at that. For sure.

[@elvenator]

IMO, this is pretty close to the best cover 'Like a Version' has ever produced. It's the epitome of what it means to cover a song; you pay tribute to the original artist and you make it your own style in the process. I mean, imagine being a mainstream EDM artist and thinking, "You know what? I reckon we can cover an iconic track of the 90s grunge era from the band that basically defined the genre". Bravo, Hermitude.

[@QuantumLeapJus21]

It's unhealthy the number of times I've listened to/watched this 🤩

[@rowdydiversion97]

dude, i'm back after a month off. It's one of the best like a versions from last year

[@mikkelandersen7788]

He he same here 😊

[@jasonrowe8871]

With ya....cannot believe didn't crack even the Hottest 200

[@ericmiller7022]

there’s no unhealthy number established yet just make sure to get your daily dose several times you be ok

[@relearn]

It's healthy I think, this always picks up my mood when I'm down... so good for me talking health ❤❤️‍🩹

[@simplyminecraft1000]

What I like about this is that it’s not exact replica of the original song, it feels like a different rendition which is something that doesn’t happen to a lot of covers nowadays. Production was sick

[@wackyoneone]

mabye you missed the point of like a version ...

[@JJones_1]

Covers opposed to renditions

[@wikkidme755]

And that’s Like a Version .....

[@bogdanmeoff2399]

Nah it sucks

[@binarydredd]

This is insanely good. So true to the original but completely fresh, the fact that it's done live is incomprehensible.

[@Deano12345ist]

Kurt would be rolling over in his grave

[@Deano12345ist]

The fact that you think a good live performance is 'incomprehensible' makes me think that you have never performed live. A huge adjective to use. Weird

[@binarydredd]

@@Deano12345ist Hiya, no I think you misunderstood my meaning :) I meant my brain found it incomprehensible (unbelievable) that this was a 1-take live mix, it's so good.

[@machina_aeterna]

Nope.

[@robsdroid6856]

I'd go as far to call this a masterpiece

[@ExperienceJacob]

The pitch bends were so sick on the synth.

[@michaeldunn6501]

I always thought she was just doing that with her voice, ngl a little magic of this is gone now, but on the bright side I learned something I guess

[@russellthomson7574]

I almost turned it off after 30 seconds. So glad I stuck around. It really grew on me. Really builds. Love the drumming.

[@GeetarGai]

Same. It started off and I was like eeeehhhhhhhhHHHHoooowell better stick around then

[@AraZuvuya]

Same here haha!!! Loved it!

[@rickywilliams9937]

I liked it from the beginning and enjoyed the mix but thought it needed more drums when he did come in there.

[@brokenbikerr]

@@rickywilliams9937 Her vocals are hypnotic

[@th3_drummer_chick548]

Same

[@712Jefferson]

This has slowly and unexpectedly become my favorite Like a Version ever, which is saying quite a lot. Something truly mesmerizing about it, including her performance. Exceedingly well done.

[@brendonvanderwalt6977]

Me too ! Can’t get enough of it

[@deljo000]

Julia Jacklin covering The Stroke's someday still the beast to me

[@madmat20091]

The difference between a singer and an artist. Love it.

[@giguereg]

1) Jaguar Jonze's voice. The dark energy. Hoooooly. shit. I really need to hear more from her. 2) I'm usually pretty "conservative" when it comes to covering Nirvana tracks, but this is something else. Impressive. 3) This needs to be given an official release so it can take over the world. 4) Has Dave Grohl seen/heard this?

[@Rintoulian]

Different sound but same energy as Kurt's growl. Dave on drums would improve it

[@mynameandnumbers]

the dark energy, definitely something like she's letting out some pain

[@jadexpy]

it's on spotify :)

[@rayhoodoo847]

At first I thought this cover was crap, but now I’ve listened to it at least 50 times.

[@heartbeatbillionaire]

Just voted this number 1 on hottest 100 like a version. Hopefully it gets a place, its so underrated!

[@lauren.xo01]

There needs to be a Spotify playlist of all the like a version songs

[@j_massey]

Lauren L there’s a triple j podcast that has them all

[@danielpedic154]

And a literal playlist on Spotify 😂😂

[@saikeshi]

There has always been one. You were just living under a rock.

[@sntcci]

but on the playlist there is a lot missing

[@dutch1171]

This is a great cover... You could see at the end how relieved the singer was when it was over - she must have been nervous, anyone covering a Nirvana song is going to be scrutinised. But top marks, this was actually really good. Oh and the drummer rockin his PJ's absolutely killed it... 🤜🤛

[@kanzas77b75]

Jaguarjonze, she's a fkng boss x

[@user-eg1ps2vt3m]

How tf did they make this song danceable? Impressive!

[@FatForWeightLoss]

That end synth sound is what dreams are made of

[@terencenordberg7482]

*sweet dreams

[@jamesmcgee3645]

That riff/beat from Heart Shaped box is fantastic. It's amazing how well it translate to nearly every instrument. I've seen it played with Guitar/Bass/Violin and synth and it's alway good.

[@Tia-Marie]

Solid. I loved this more than I expected.

[@MrBlueberrypie44]

aBSolUtely! i THOught this was great. More than I expected too

[@tezzrterry7485]

@@MrBlueberrypie44 The tension builds. Gets better with more repeats.

[@duanen2337]

Me 2

[@mykasoda]

I wish these two would form a permanent band together. I need a whole album of this! Love it so much!!!

[@lucyellenberger5802]

I still prefer the original but I appreciate the modern spin they took on it. They made it their own which is really reassuring to hear. They didn’t just spit out an exact repeat of Nirvana, they kinda took it out of the grunge realm and into something more new wave and poppy. It was really refreshing

[@bluedoggobook9399]

When my mother passed my brother and I buried her ashes in a heart shaped box as we’re both nirvana fans

[@sandiegojoe]

She's got some big balls covering Nirvana

[@Rintoulian]

She backs it up though

[@mattdrum5719]

I’m old enough to remember when this was first released, and I gotta say this has re-birthed what is/was a magical song for me. Amazing! A-maz-ING!!

[@johnathanreece8192]

So very impressive. The arrangement variations are very well thought out. The live dance/remix style drumming really adds an extra energy or cool factor way beyond what traditional DJ style drum loops can achieve. The vocals are amazing the way the dynamic builds in intensity while maintaining precision. The combination of their individual unique styles played together is what really made this cool. Bravo to everyone involved in performance and post production.

[@Swerve_City]

The keyboardist has some lethal hipthrusts. Could take someone's eye out. Cool cover, certainly did them justice.

[@eskerinola5845]

I am used to listening PJB and Tiny Desk. This performance is one of the best I've heard PERIOD.

[@downrodeo]

A super brave and bold take on one of my fave Nirvana songs. Freaking nailed it.

[@tomwalker5555]

She dances like shes 3 pills deep at the afters...Love it!

[@TheNewNo1se]

Even got the T Rex arms lol

[@joystick2212]

I was thinking that as well hahaha

[@mckenr07]

Nice one bruvaaa!

[@michaelmueller8772]

Peter Garrett in a phone booth, basically. Which I love, btw! :)

[@14energy]

Mitsubishi x3

[@Verluxxe]

this was an actual experience with headphones, so vibey

[@billiegirl7736]

As a 90s teen growing up in grunge era I love this version. Well done 😊

[@hernendezsanchez7646]

This rocks my world, such a unique cover, her voice is beautiful and the drums have such a great beat.

[@vanessapicken9815]

Hands down the best yet!! Jaguar Jonze you are our new spirit animal.

[@JaguarJonze]

meowwww

[@CaptainFram]

Her energy is awesome!

[@eskerinola5845]

This is like italian garlic spaghetti. So few ingredients for such a marvellous result.

[@thomasharlovic7470]

idk if they give out Pulitzer Prizes for music reviewing but this should win it

[@PeterTodd]

I keep coming back for the goosebumps, just awesome.

[@tezzrterry7485]

Wow, one of the best ever, also the first time many people had heard of JJonze.

[@apenasand]

Man... this channel was the best discovery of the year!

[@ericmiller7022]

uahaha excellent her voice : phenomenal her dancing : explosive his drumming : perfect his keyboarding : surfing between all of it and melting it together unbelievable production they simply recreate a ( classic ) song in a way so that we all wanna dance our asses off to it on repeated x 1000

[@evanevans1843]

The Jaguar-Hermitude combo, surprisingly, served up a top shelf like-a-version on this one. I will have to listen to this one a few more times. Well done guys!

[@QMWholean]

The Moog puts OUT so nicely and warmly and the mix is perfecto. Suite song two thumbs up

[@chinski1]

Love the energy & emotion Jaguar Jonze puts into this, the boys are banging out a pumping tune but her voice & way she moves makes it even better

[@josephtaranto9555]

She dances like the guy from the Talking heads ......I love it

[@DragonGalvy]

So glad I listen to JJJ at work. Heard this version and just HAD to go looking for it. Winning, Hermitude and Jaguar Jonze!

[@craigj7747]

There are just not enough superlatives to describe this work of art

[@rios1099]

Not exactly my style, but i still gotta say this is put together and performed very well, I do appreciate that it’s different as well

[@j0hnnyz3r0]

Slayyyyyyed it. Love me some Hermitude but god DAMN does Jaguar Jonze smash this out of the park. What a cool performer.

[@theatrain5388]

Slayed is a bit strong, decent cover is where its at.

[@AnthonyGaff]

As much as it pains me to say this, I really think that I prefer this version to the original. Please don't hurt me.

[@TinksiehTink]

I came here with the highest possible hopes... It was even better than I expected! So enthralled ❤️

[@markberberich4346]

I love how she dances too

[@timlevinson8891]

Brilliant reworking of a classic

[@amierose2681]

At first, I was worried when I heard that trap sample... then magic happened. Deena (Jaguar Jonze) never steers me wrong, so my faith was not misplaced! A+++ cover! I love covers that the artists make their own.

[@donalgillespie9013]

Awesome voice on this lady.

[@23mickV]

One of the best Nirvana's covers! Great job!

[@Tigermeowpants]

YASSSS!!!! LOVEEE!! Hermitude and Jaguar Jonze, what a team.

[@frozeninak100]

Amazing take on this classic. So unexpected and great ❤

[@tomsa_3567]

I was really curious to see where you went with this- and I like the direction you took it. The synth patches were really hip- you just made me want to work harder on the sound design course I'm enrolled in (thanks! I needed some motivation to push me through some wicked jet lag) and the drum and the vocal sound was fantastic- I hope you guys bought the live engineer a few beers after this. I'm glad one of my Aussie mates turned me on to you guys, and I'm also glad to hear Jaguar Jonze for the first time. I love seeing someone just sounding great on a simple mic setup without loads of processing beyond EQ and reverb. I'm going to check out JJ's spotify playlist now that I've heard a few songs to see where he ears live. Nice work all around.

[@levaremusic]

already written that I love it ? loooove IT!

[@flowstate4080]

Damn Jaguar Jonze and Hermitude absolutely smashing itttt!!!!!

[@danebeisheim9793]

That little exhale at the end of the performance leads me to believe she was a bit nervous - as well she should be - those are big shoes to fill. But, needless to say, she killed it. I am in awe.

[@richardwylie07]

One of the best. The electronic interpretation was bang on. Electronic but with a grunty edge!!

[@Raven.13]

IKR! It's great. I'm back - listen to it again, still thinking about it two weeks later!

[@tbz1551]

I watched this at least five times... then idk it hit me. Just wow

[@nonplus86]

Great production and I like how they put their own spin on it. Never imagined Heart Shaped Box as an IDM track. Credit

Like a version at its true essence. Great cover guys (and gal). This should definitely be on the 2019 LAV album. ✌🏼&❤️

[@NettwerkMusic]

Such an amazing performance! Happy both are part of our family, you make us proud.

[@hunterdavis3003]

This is why im subbed to this channel! Great cover

[@alliecobos]

Holy shit, this is awesome

[@acerx203]

much better then I expected. After the 3rd listening, it is an amazing cover.

[@cdronk]

Great version. Like many other commenters, this version really grew on me. The keyboards killed it. I also really enjoyed the singers stage presence. Her dancing was awesome. It made me love her a little. While her voice is unique and good, it lacks the rawness I think this song requires.

[@beatchef]

The smaller keyboard being used is a Moog Sub Phatty. The larger one is a Dave Smith Instruments Prophet 12

[@paulmitchell3882]

tuff stuff hermitude!!!! so dam good im a massive fan.....AWESOME...

[@md11x6]

Awwww yeeeeeaaaahhh. Nice job Jonzee and tha boyz. It was fresh and I liked it.

[@markgarcia8253]

Sure I’ve been dancing like her for years but everyone shits on me for my bad dancing. But she does it, everyone loves it lmao 💀

[@katsudon7264]

This deserves more views! Frankly it's different from what I expected it to be. And it turned out really great! :)

[@damianhillas6673]

I’m surprised how much I like this. Good job 👍

[@bendi36]

Love the way she moves. Part mc hammer, part jim carrey with spears in his legs from ace ventura. Im obsessed with her dancing

I have tears of pure joy

[@peterbellas8422]

Got the chills, what a combo. JJ is 🔥🔥🔥
