"Sprawl II"

[@KittzBeatz]

Woke up thinking about this cover, put it on, immediately in tears and voice cracking as i sang along in bed. Honestly one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard, and one I come back to over and over again. Thank you to everyone involved in making this ❤

[@nini9946]

8 years since i heard this cover for the first time and it still goes so hard

[@dilarapov9614]

this cover is such a hidden gem. It reminds me of being in university. I remember the first time I heard it, I got goosebumps.

[@nates.249]

This cover in no way pays homage to the original song.

[@clappingpig]

You might need to get your ears checked my guy...@@nates.249

[@dilarapov9614]

@@nates.249 I think it's a beautiful homage, some things get filtered through. You can see they have such a deep admiration for the song.

[@ilyfrankh]

@@nates.249I couldn't disagree with you more. I'm not saying it's better than the original, but it's a beautiful interpretation.

[@jameseichinger7262]

Easily, the best cover of Sprawl 2. Most of the covers fail to capture the original’s rising tension and inevitable release. Hey Ocean manages this with ease by speedily adding sound elements and intensity early and throughout. A+. It deserves a release on a platform other than You Tube.

[@Simone3413]

I wish! I love this version

[@kelseygayler5327]

I love this so much that I can’t even describe it. I come back to listen to it frequently and it never ceases to amaze me what kind of feelings it can elicit. I wish I had this song anywhere but KZbin because I’m terrified of the day it disappears!

[@alexanderbeaumont4414]

I am terrified for the day it disappears

[@toripepe6547]

When I was 12 at sleep away summer camp my counsellor had this song as our wake up alarm every morning and I remember having never felt that peaceful waking up and it still holds a special place in my heart 9 years later

[@JixieDyeAuthor]

Your camp counsellor had good taste in music!

[@As5Hat]

I've listened to this about 1000 times now in 11 years.

[@tiger9152]

This cover has the power to make me cry or laugh within the first few notes. It is a beautiful piece of music formed by amazing musicians.

[@moonowlmama]

This remains to be one of the most beautiful (simultaneously) heart-crushing & soul-filling pieces of art, that I've had the pleasure of immersing myself in.

[@huntergorgas4262]

This might be the greatest song ever made

[@robpeters7124]

This track is like a big hug from everyone you love.

[@seltsameseeds]

still one of my favorite hey ocean performances ever even being a cover and collab. goodest shit

[@mikhailstewart]

I come back to this cover.. the lyrics of this song. 💔💔💔

[@Stonehawk]

"I need the darkness--someone please cut the lights..." ... chills down my spine. This is... my words fail. it's so beautiful...

[@zengrove]

Time does fly really fast. It's 10 years ago.

[@ZeroTyrant5894]

I can't even begin to explain how deep that song touches me, even after hearing it so much, everything about it is just wow... there are no words, It's just beautiful.

[@redbap]

I always end up back here

[@lovingiseasy-4342]

Holy shit this only has 20k views and 500 likes?? This is a crime!! My brother's friend burned a CD for him and it included this. It's such an incredible cover I've listened to it hundreds of times! I prefer this to the original, it's melancholy but so calming and comforting. Literally gives me chills every time

[@clappingpig]

Well said! I strongly agree with you!

[@ilyfrankh]

I seem to recall this video with over several hundred thousand views. I think that video got unlisted/taken down.

[@lovingiseasy-4342]

Oh what really? That makes a lot more sense! thank you for telling me!

[@alexismaestar]

This was indescribably beautiful. You all literally just took my breath away. Thank you.

[@Gr1mJr13]

The way ur music videos are of u and ur band just hanging out nd playin is just awesum and so chill, Ashleigh thank you for your great music and your awesum voice acting

[@Vince-DM]

"No description available." That is correct.

[@JimJohnson-gy8xt]

Iv heard a lot of covers. This is one of the better of the bunch. Truly.

[@andrew_radio]

This song really hit home for me. Thanks for sharing it with us guys!

[@Riddickserg]

i would love to be able to play that acoustic guitar bit, i love this song so much!!!

[@user-tm7nt6ib6e]

Really cool dudes, lovely tribute, thank you

[@benjamingimenez5162]

Que hermosso tema. Regine ❤❤

[@jhleong2]

Outstanding...bravo, Hey Ocean! The passion and talent in all of you reaches to the depths of my bones.

[@lukaskillisch1310]

Thank you so much for that beautiful piece

[@danielvincent5306]

Beautiful x

[@drbrucehubbard]

Beautifully done!!!

[@jex2023]

Great cover !! You nailed me. Well inspired by the mood of Arcade Fire.

[@cthulhuzilla7031]

Ashleigh's voice IS the Ocean.

[@Epicdps]

Beautiful. You people are amazing, a huge musical inspiration to me. Please never stop making music, it's too good. (Also, never stop being a VA).

[@clappingpig]

Absolutely magical!! ❤

[@apsepa4k]

wishing this was on spotify so bad!!

[@ElegeantFencer]

The way Ashleigh Ball sings, it's kinda difficult to describe, but.. it's like surfing a wave or something. It just has that mellow smooth thing going on. I like it.

[@kyorgadorgen]

they did it at mansion house in st catharines ontario. it was amazing.

[@CaptLobo24]

Wow. Just wow. I can feel the music. This is amazing.

[@fehimateo5748]

Un très beau cover bravo

[@Alex-yy5oh]

Randomly stumbled on this video through Reddit. I am satisfied.

[@beckyd86]

This is just so beautiful, it's perfect. Thanks for putting this out there for us, we appreciate it!

[@quinnsbtube]

Man I love this cover, I think 37 of the 38K views are me

[@sghall1968]

I'm responsible for at least 50 views.

[@EpicB]

Maybe you're surfing a Big Blue Wave. Had to get that out of my system.

[@TeenoFilms]

you guys have pretty much enlightened me in music. first non-electric artist i've bought an album from in ages.

[@crickletk4715]

WHY DOES THIS NOT HAVE MORE VIEWS... JUST.. WHAT

[@havefaithinhim13]

This is such a beautiful cover. It's perfect.

[@MensGroup]

Still LOVE this.

[@syncret_]

powerful. great tempo for this cover

[@guitarer99]

so many shivers from this song. holy crap. i love it C:

[@NACHOOFF]

Beautiful!

[@syd1171]

my new favorite band EVER.

[@FarFigSchitter]

wow, usually arcade fire covers are never that great, but this is great.

[@meganagan]

I just. love them. so. much. gah

[@ThatSpiffingChap]

If the book "Paper Towns" became a film it needs to have this version of this song when Quentin and Margo have their night out. Would be so amazing and perfectly fitting imo.

[@peepingsid2096]

Love this

[@chelsthechannel]

Still one of my favourite collabs

[@lordbyronn]

amazing!!

[@93z]

are you guys covering this song as part of your set? come home so I can hear it live! so good.

[@Stonehawk]

The good news is that the suburban sprawl format--indeed very unnatural and unsettling--is proven to be completely unsustainable and a total waste. It's on its way out.

[@AdamOwenBrowning]

you can believe me or not but I had the first comment on this video 11 years ago. idk why they removed comments. there's only 101

[@MarcS4R]

oh my this is fantastic

[@ScottCommon632]

perfect ❤️👊🏼🌻

[@smenchorf]

Made my day. TY

[@fredfresh13]

Whooooooooooa. Love it.

[@ConnorStinehartMusic]

This is unbelievable.

[@over9000fails]

Amazingly done! If I knew you guys in real life I would be very proud to do so :3

[@VillaFanDan92]

I adore the original, but this version is just on another level... wow...

[@DemBombaclot]

I know my single views on your videos won't make a difference between anything, but i honestly think that this band should be much more well known. I like to find bands like Hey Ocean! because nowadays 99% of artists dont create music with passion and feeling like this, they just produce it. I don't know if that made any sense, since english ain't my native language, but i hope you get the idea :) Greetings from Finland.

[@PonyPeculiar]

First. Feels good. Awesome as usual.

[@ipoddrake]

love it :) ive already watched it 4 times XD

[@LegendOfKara]

Can I download this anywhere? This is great!

[@ZzDiscordzZ]

a wonderful variety to Dupstep

[@VillaFanDan92]

This was my favourite song ever anyway, but now I've heard this version, it is even more my favourite song.... I dunno... I liked it.

[@Cloneguinvids]

Woo! New Hey Ocean song!

[@ijustwatchvidsduh]

I prefer this to the original! ♥

[@BlairR101]

It's hard to describe how this song makes me feel other than food for my soul. It's a travesty it's not more popular.

[@TheTman1234567]

Awww.....its okay.

[@FarFigSchitter]

if they can do a cover of back down south by Kings of Leon, i shall forever be a fan.

[@jayodea503]

lovely rendidtion! though the words of the second verse are "And like a mirror, the city lights shine" and not "Black river your city lights shine" other than that this was awesome

[@Vince-DM]

I've listened to this song almost every day since the day this video was uploaded. By far one of my favorite songs, and the best cover of anything I've ever seen. The original is a million miles away from competing with this. Excellent job, Hey Ocean. You guys are a really talented group - saw you last night at South Moe's in Englewood. Blew my mind how well you did. c: Oh, and Aidan Knight / The Friendly Friends did very well with this cover as well. c:

[@MikeChristensen]

Rad to the bone collaboration! Freakin word to your mamma's! Do'gain s'more!

[@TrippyMystTV]

... Pretenious things? Paleo is there?!

[@Goldie6434]

Yessss

[@peepingsid2096]

I love you guys xxxx

[@PonyPeculiar]

New here?

[@JonatanWallmander]

REALLY lovely cover! better than the original!

[@spetnaz93]

oh, i see wht you did there.

[@goodgirlsdancing]

forget bebier fever the new movement is sea sickness

[@syd1171]

5:05 goosebumps

[@AxphonicBeets]

Her and i'd make sweet sweet musik together...forever!

[@MrProccy]

bronies rise up

[@Senicks]

ponies anyone?

[@MatterStorm1]

Obligatory Applejack/Rainbow Dash reference. Also this song might be my favorite of theirs, and I've known them for a few months now, and this is a cover. Still, they have about equally good original songs.

[@PonyPeculiar]

inb4 all your subs leave.

[@thomaswillingham4084]

Um, yes
