As a huge Biffy and Kate Bush fan, this is perfection ❤️

[@russellpanken]

yeah, so as I stumble upon this I find myself in what must b some fantastical heavenly dreamscape that exists only to serve my deepest longings. The Best front man ever singing a tune from the Immortal KB catalogue.... Like someone Must Have made a deal w god... 💚🤘♋

[@TSotP]

It's really good. It has shades of an uptempo version of Placebo's cover of this song too. You should check that one out as well.

[@p4ulj0nes96]

go and listen to the placebo version...seriously

[@p4ulj0nes96]

but mon the biff

[@Askyl]

Placebo is perfection :D This was great though! Such a more hopefull take on the song. Like "We should do this to make it better".

[@laurencebeale8949]

Love this. I wish there was a more emotive button I could press for this rather than just "Like".

Unmistakably Biffy, but handled with care to keep it faithful to Kate, feckin brilliant.

[@Snotzalotz]

But this isn’t Biffy, it’s Simon, Biffy’s covers are usually a complete new take on the original

Simon nailed this.

Wow, I thought Brian Molko/Placebos was the best cover but the emotional feels from the Biff, Lord have mercy.

As a Kate Bush fan for ages, and Biffy Clyro being my favourite rock band, this is a dream come true! I'd love them to do more of her art with their own twist on it, that's something I would buy immediately!!!!!😃

wtf just searching rock versions of this song then i stumbled upon this gem

[@lanebashford3982]

Brilliant! I totally enjoyed this version of one of the greatest songs of all time. Thanks to Stranger Things for enriching a whole new generation with the best 80s music and to Biffy for this live version.

[@BeholdChronicles]

The drummer was on point!

[@epec20]

Run max !!

[@antonioluismarcoburgos8117]

This is brutal: the singer, the musicians,... It's awesome. Wow!

[@jakeparker6610]

A stunning take on a classic. Musically outstanding to add a different tone and vibe to the original song, and Simon’s voice lends itself brilliantly to this cover. Beautiful

[@LadyDemetria]

Just when I thought the best cover was Placebo but this has blown it out of the water!

As a massive Kate Bush fan and huge fan of this song in particular I've got l to say this is awesome. Yep pretty damn impressive. Been waiting for a decent male version of this and he nails it perfectly.

[@benedettat2555]

Ok it’s the second comment I leave under this video BUT how can Simon Neil be so perfectly raw, real and whole with anything he sings? It’s beyond me I swear I can’t get over this

You might be right. This is more a cover of Placebo's cover of the song, in my opinion, but it is good enough to stand on its own.

@@OrthodoxAtheist I just , MUST go to listen this Placebos version, of this marveullous song by Kate. Must say. Never heard no song ever from Biffy Clyro, never ever heard son from Placebo. Sorry , i am old punkrocker, and i dont listen these nowadays favourite artists. But... Great anyways...

[@joejacksom9831]

@Purple Hoodie it's a matter of opinion. I don't like the lead singer. He's a creep who I witnessed get beaten up outside the Ritz for giving a girl unwanted attention. Actually said " Don't you know who I am!?" To her.

[@goatypricegoatyprice1724]

Just wow 👌

[@CH51234]

Absolutely amazing. The way his voice struggles back and forth yet he clearly thinks so hard, so fast on how to best handle every single note is so satisfying and makes me wanna listen to it forever. Most singers do the exact same but their problem is their voice is TOO good and often float off too effortlessly so there's less room for variety. (for my taste)

[@JustHarryOBrien]

You’re like me - it’s all about that raw talent. Not too clean, not perfect, just raw.

[@stevethemover]

That’s exactly it the fact he has to put 110% into every syllable makes it perfect

[@badgoat666]

💯 Such an amazing, distinctive voice.

[@amykyle9243]

I’ve noticed this at biffy gigs recently it’s not “perfection” but it’s real, it’s raw and it’s talent. Always the real deal with Simon and the boys

[@christineterry3079]

He sings this so well .... 😘

[@ryanminney3909]

When Biffy are one of your favourite bands (seeing them for 4th time this November), Kate Bush is one of your all time favourite singers and this song has a personal meaning, Stranger Things brought this song to whole new audience, and you're in work on a Sunday trying to find the motivation to power through 👌🖤
