"please make very very good noises" ahaha

[@ericbumbera664]

Vance joy has a great voice... But still has a hard time reaching those Thom Yorke high notes haha

[@lazylasagna5596]

true, I used to be able to hit them, but then or course when you get older you lose the ability to hit the high ones. I wish I could sing like Thom.

[@ricardosiahaan5287]

Thom Yorke used a falsetto and falsetto cracked sometimes

[@stevenbard3519]

Eric Bumbera Thom Yorke is one of the best vocalist of our generation. he's hard to live up to.

[@mike-0451]

LazyLasagna his voice is dying too unfortunately. On their latest record you can hear splicing and a general decline in his vibrato.

[@sebastianmatarelli5602]

very few match those 1990s thom yorke highs. unreal falsetto

[@mfrippin2]

Very ballsy to cover an all time classic, and one this difficult. Pretty good I reckon. I had no love for Vancey, but he's up a few points with this effort for mine, kudos.

[@yammals]

am i the only one who thinks that alex turner could have pulled this off so well. with his raspy voice that always sounds like there's a hint of melancholy to it. not that vance didn't do a good job, cus they did, but you know, just my two cents.

[@patrickswayze2596]

@@bromunculus6117 no they don't but I hear what they are saying, and can almost hear it myself. When it comes to covers you;ve either gotta nail it or make it your own. Vance Joy (if you're not Aussie) played this at the Easter Party JJJ (triple J) a national station puts on every year, and he (although I felt if he made it his own he could have nailed it) done a great job at keeping it raw and original.

[@sirikalvik]

Every person on this planet can only dream of such a flawless introduction

Thom Yorke's voice is almost impossible to cover. And this was still fantastic. ❤

Vance has a great voice but this really lacked emotion. I feel like the gentle attention that Thom gives it was really missing. Sorry, not a candle to the original.

[@gavinmoran6880]

Thank you amazing cover

This song is just exquisite & this version does it justice. The instrumentation is especially great. Other really good covers of it, though more spare, are phoebe bridgers & arlo park's collaboration and Alexander Mills' cover.

[@odinp]

Such a beautiful song.

[@jricksweet]

The brass at the end is incredible, hair raising stuff.

damn it's bold to cover radiohead in general, and to pull it off is soooooo rare this is cool

[@_Harvey_Djent_]

Is it just me or is he getting faster every 10 seconds?

[@marioalejandro7549]

That's what i thought. It takes from the emotion of the song. This song need to be played chilled.

[@MM-vs2et]

It's definitely 20-25 bpm faster in the end than the start. But that's pretty usual for live performances without clicks

[@AlexVandenBroek]

Not usually one to listen to Vance Joy, but this is pretty damn sweet!

[@cckcck-ob8qx]

Really good voice and band so good

[@GAMER10079]

I don't understand why everybody is being so tough on him.... This is a pretty good cover regardless of any changes to the original. Some of you make me disappointed to be part of the Radiohead fanbase with your ignorant, close-minded opinions on how he doesn't compare to the original - one simple tip - DON'T COMPARE A COVER TO THE ORIGINAL. Vance is not Thom, therefore he is not required to sing or plat exactly like Thom would. P.s - I'd love to see all of you haters do a more faithful cover than Vance's.

[@multiplecigsgirlrot]

well said my man

[@BillyShears230]

Doesnt take a good chef to tell if a meal is shit, so I think the line “is like to see you do better” is invalid. Also I think comparing to the original is fine, everyone’s allowed to give their opinion. That being said I agree that people shouldn’t be so toxic when comparing different versions of the song

[@coachcoopfitness]

[@TheSeancassady]

Yeah, that's why I used to hate covers but now it's the reason I love them, they're different.

[@Amstrdamn]

The original song is the set standard. What is mainly judged is if the cover is good or not, not how same it is to the original. Regardless, this cover met neither. Sorry, expectations are high.

[@sebastianmatarelli5602]

I like this version, although I have to say one of my favorite things about the original is Jonny Greenwood shredding towards the end. However the brass was something new, and every cover should try to do something different with the original.

I wanted to hear more emotion in his voice. Other than that, he did a decent job. On the part when Thom sings " I can't help the feeling", you have to feel what he feels and I didn't get that.

[@joshuahanson4289]

He dumbed down the acoustic guitar part and lacked thom's emotion while the band just did good impressions of their respective parts. This sounds like something me, my brother and a few friends might play in our garage before lamenting about our collective musical mediocrity. It's not necessarily bad, just it's something that belongs in a school talent show tbh

[@joshuahanson4289]

Also the horns just felt too gimicky and didn't replace the raw intensity of the guitar jangle, while again that removal of the transitional suspended 4th, and 2nd chords kinda just ruins the progression. Just overall dead I guess
