I'd never imagined that he could make this song any better, but he really has pulled out all the stops with this version! I got goosebumps and my hairs stood on end after the first 30 seconds..... I cannot wait to see how these guys progress over the next few years.

the amount of range olly has over his voice + the control he has over it... he's beautiful oh my god i can't wait for you guys to blow up globally, but at the same time i kind of want to keep you quiet, because it feels a lot more special :)

[@ja1207]

that piano riff though...that's what I love the most in this song...

[@ScreenQueen813]

Love their version! Olly's voice is always so emotive, even if it's not his own words...

[@meggziez]

This is actually their own song, and the lyrics were written by Olly :)

[@ScreenQueen813]

[@Emma-bv7lh]

No amount of words could explain how proud I am of you boys😭 I have watched how you have grown for quite some time now and I will continue to watch you grow and become MASSIVE this year! This song has always been my fave and I didn't think you could make me love it anymore...and then you posted this!! I may or may not have shed a tear while watching this - it was so breath taking and performed stunningly! Big things to come for you in the future💙

[@na-kh3dn]

And I… Yeah, I've got the lines I've got the lines Oh it's brighter this time This type of mine This disguise Oh you talk, ooh, to me Well, nothing's gonna hurt me with my eyes shut I can see through them I can see through them I am drawing pictures I'm evading I will not use them I will not use them [2x] 'Cause I wanna be bigger than life For you For you And nothing's gonna hurt me with my eyes shut I can see through them I can see through them And I am drawing pictures I'm evading I will not use them I will not use them No, nothing's gonna hurt me with my eyes shut I can see through them I can see through them))

[@mayfares6948]

In the past 2 years,I've introduced 237 people to you guys, and still counting.. I think they are as obsessed as I am! Is it weird that I actually counted how many people I talked to them about the band? Well, who care! ❤️😍 That was... wow...beautiful

[@NewCreationTV]

[@salsabillaeh4973]

[@arcticflyer]

This Band is the freshest sound around... best of luck to them.

[@meganmartini15]

For some reason this reminds me of 'coloring' by Kevin Garret. OH MY! YEARS AND YEARS MUST COLLABORATE WITH BIRDY!

[@haleighxp]

YO I WAS JUST THINKING THAT

[@stuckbeingkat]

I legit have tears right now. This is beautiful. The strings and backup are wonderful addition. You're gonna have such a big year, my boys. Love x

[@ninalfhs6626]

[@stachiano]

Hahaha I totally get what you mean, definitely elements.

[@salemvincent555]

[@elliewallwork4]

+Robert Sanchez Oh GOD you're right

[@brigittesnelson2354]

Nisrina Alifah Sauda so true

[@Noellenc]

How have I missed this for 2 weeks? This has been my favorite song for awhile now and this acoustic is pure magic. Strings, are you kidding me? I am kind of in love with Olly as an artist.

[@angry3824]

Am I the only one to think this is better than the studio version ??

[@madelonp2910]

why am i always obessesd with all years and years songs? love love love

[@SuperMinkyMomo]

He's like God....

[@sohocarter2765]

This song means a lot to me. It's just so beautiful.

[@closedaccacc8370]

0:56 olly casually transforms into zayn malik :D

[@Jackster31]

This is a musical prodigy....OMFG....phenom in the making....Olly rulez! Years and years...best new band of the past few year, hands down...

[@alexatorres4382]

Can't believe you're gay ! I wanted to marry you so bad !

[@benjamingalapon3868]

It's been 4 years. Still one of my fave songs 😌

[@14Rimvydas]

Sounds like autotune...

[@meggziez]

I thought that too when I first heard them, but I've seen completely raw live performances and it's just his voice. He does this kind if shaky vibrato thing that makes it sound like that. It's very different to anyone I've heard before :)

[@14Rimvydas]

Megan Stacey because of you I've watched fee live performances. This is really interesting voice, you are right :)

[@14Rimvydas]

Megan Stacey few*

[@Noellenc]

14Rimvydas I think he is using it, to be honest. I'm not an expert and could be wrong, though. Someone prove me wrong! But even if he's using it, I think it's an artistic choice not something he needs. He sounds awesome without it.

[@lottes.6538]

I saw them live yesterday and I can tell you he doesn't use auto tune, it sounded like this and it was soooo good

[@navkaurx]

I still listen to this song after like 7-8 years. It’s part of my teenage years❤️❤️ Wish i could go back in time 😌

[@jadenmcmillian7914]

There is so much soul in his voice

There is something really unique about this one! I can’t imagine all the work you must have put into it. As another musician, I can say that your songs touch something that most don’t these days. Keep up the great work!

[@thatjustqin]

this song is so good its gonna be my top list. Gonna spread the world about it.

[@mollybarvainis4411]

I have never heard something so beautiful. such raw talent honestly

[@rebeccaf.figueiredo1381]

Amazing version!!!!!!! Can't stop listening to.

[@Brittaniramblings]

He is so incredibly beautiful. His soul is breathtaking.

[@sofiabusato6342]

This song gives me some kind of feelings. Definetely my favourite

[@itsmenotmario1517]

Not only the Voice, it' s all the sound!! Thanx

[@mariapizzati]

My favorite Years & Years song of all time!
