Admittedly there's nothing like the original, but this is an excellent cover. Close enough to the original yet different enough to make it their own.

After surfing KZbin of all the cover versions, this one is the most compelling, it is true to the original but with it's own character. This is something special, I've listened to it so many times. I hope this band find a wider audience.

[@Ellevatorband]

Thank you, Andy! We've got a recorded version up on Spotify and most streaming platforms, along with our full album if you feel like hearing more

I absolutely love it when a few musicians and a vocalist gather somewhere and create a masterpiece like this one literally in emptiness. This is something that only music can do, there is nothing like it. What a stunning cover. Thank you.

[@nolankuffner3573]

She also sings in the same register and in a similar timbre to Kate, so that helps. Like, she's not trying to sing Kate for the cover, that's just her natural way of singing. It's perhaps a bit too in Ellevator's wheelhouse lol

[@kevlarkev7]

It's really crazy how some songs come out of nowhere n u hear it in the right context and it just slaps and sticks with u for life now

[@Wantar]

I respect that ypu did this 3 years ago when it wasn't viral. I'm 80ties kid, I grew up with this, but Stranger Things brought it to 21st century level. Did you know that Kate Bush earns million dollars per month now, only from Spotify due to Stranger Things popularity and that she's the sole owner of music, song and licensing rights which made this an unexpected mailbox money for a 1985. song. I hope it will do some good for your channel too cause this is an excellent cover.

[@mrhorrorjunkyde4920]

This song has a very strange connection to me. When I'm listening I am overwhelmed by nostalgia, memories, sadness and I get a twitchy feeling in my stomach. I really can't explain why but at the same time I love this track and want to listen to it over and over. Some pretty damn good art over here.

[@1988ZER]

There's a few songs that do that to me. It's a feeling of another time you can never go back to and a reminder life is passing you by. You gotta hurry and make more memories, maybe better yourself from where you are now in your life because time is flying by.

[@AnonymousSaiyan]

I know the feeling

[@NinjaGorillaFTW]

Same here! It's a little overwhelming. Your Hand in Mine by Explosions in the Sky and a song my friend wrote and sang with the ukulele both haunt me in wonderful ways like this one.

[@Ellevatorband]

It's a wonderful song, Kate Bush has that effect!!

[@kelvan1138]

What a great explanation. What a strange feeling. You suddenly see the little time you have left and the time you spent already in context. You don't get it back.
