  • Johnny. :(

  • Oh James, you can fall at my feet anyday

  • This performance is very good, but taken in the O.C. context, it's just great.

  • i just don't get whats with the whole like 2 min of silence afterwards....

  • Good cover by Mr. Blunt

  • well I loved it!

  • I don't get how people can hate this version of the song so much yet love the original. This is a great cover, and is you listen to all the vastly different genres of music out there and then this to this cover compared to the original, I can't see how they're different enough to deserve such different opinions about. Maybe it's just because James Blunt has a bit of a reputation of being unpopular so people already decided to hate his stuff before they even listen to it.

  • @KieranTheKrill24 I was dubious about it before I listened, but found myself getting some chills as he he sang it. I really wish he had those sublime hamonies on the chorus. That would have put it in the clouds for me.

  • boy & bear > james blunt

  • @MagnaMater Crowded House > boy & bear > james blunt

  • what the fuck was that, I feel like stapling my ears closed

  • oh dear

  • I love. The crowded house version best. But i like. How James gave the song his all and made it his own

  • Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooo!!!! Make it stop!

  • I normally find it annoying when people talk about a tv show or where they found the song, but when it comes to the oc I can't help it... JOHNNY !!!

  • I had never used a thumb down on youtube but this really deserves it... how can he dares to ruin a perfect song like this one?? I'm really dissapointed about you James...

  • boy and bear have done a better cover

  • This is embarassing....

  • Johnny Harper on a cliff

  • @daskillingmoon I'm still crying...

  • i prefer crowded house but james blunt sings the song well.

  • okay people... covers aren't supposed to be exact copies of the original versions so give it some slack and if you still dont like this, just switch to original crowded house version and kindly shut the fuck up

  • God this version is fucking horrible... I try not to write bad reviews but please just watch the Crwoded House version, it's the original and it is most deffinitely better than this.

  • What the fuck, man. He's got the lyrics wrong, he's got the rhythm wrong... I don't mind James Blunt and I'm all for covers, but just listen to the crowded house version. It's infinitely better.

  • The finger of blame has turned upon itself

    And I'm more than willing to offer myself

    Do you want my presence or need my help?

    Who knows where that might lead

    I fall at your feet

  • one of the greatest songs ever

  • thumbs up if broken heart brought you here -.-

  • Boy and Bear, best cover so far.

  • Johnny Harper's death

  • i like it

  • shitty cover of the great song

  • @RhythumDancer Or maybe this was a shitty comment :) Because this is a great cover :)

  • @LillaHannaa the upvotes on rythoumdancar's comment seem to disagree! I wonder, is it perhaps you that is a shitty human being?

  • @PsychosesMan Do this have anything to do with me as a person? Please skip thoose comments..

  • Neil Finn died a little inside when he heard this...

  • didn't know i was a james blunt fan... cool

  • Prefer The original, but this is still great :) whoever gives thumbs up i will subscribe :)

  • See what happens when you spend hours randomly surfing you tube

  • whats with the big silent gap at the end?

  • James takes the candle you hold to Neil Finn and lights a blunt of it. He's gonna hotbox a Crowded House when he gets home. Not saying the original is better or worse, both are beautiful, I just dont think you can call one a "trainwreck" cause it doesn't sound identical to the original, Im glad its not and you are boring for thinking it should

  • someone knows the meaning of this song?

  • @MANCHONCOACHING Neil Finn wrote it in relation to an argument with his wife, apparently.

  • This is a *trainwreck*. There aren't many musicians in the world who can hold a candle to Neil Finn and James Blunt is not and never will be one of them.

  • Not a bad version. But the original version by Crowded House is still the best.

  • @JSchrecko Of course the original version is better only because the James Blunt's voice is unbearable with its quavering falsetto in the trebles.

  • Nice version, but I prefer Boy and Bear's version.

    Check it out:

  • James Blunt, you got owned by Greta Stanley.

  • @Miclaeh So true. She's amazing. See her video here:

    /watch?v=_nwNcyeGhOw

  • I love the OC, heard this song while re-watching that episode for the 100 time, love the song!

  • @VSOCCER99 which episode??? i want to look it... do you have any video or link to watch it?

  • hermosa cancion

    amo a james blunt

    I LOVE JAMES

  • While I don't care for this cover, I felt it sounded much too rushed, he certainly has good taste in music I'd say by covering this classic song, but at the same time, the last time I checked James Blunt has a fairly successful music career, and I don't, so what do I know, right? ;)

  • Cool to see big name American artists doing covers of Australian groups.

    Go Crowded House !

  • @OliByGolly1 James Blunt is English.

  • @monthenmaw Really? Didn't know that.

  • The OC Jonny scene!

  • great cover here. watch this:

    /watch?v=ae1XS5ri5ZY

  • Compared to this decent version, the Crowded House original has a fuller, lusher arrangement, PLUS beautiful vocal harmonies. So, I think one's preference depends on how 'produced' one likes one's music. Both versions are good. Blunt's sounds more vulnerable and maybe more honest. CH's version is a straight-ahead pop treatment, which happens to be my preference. But hey, there's room in the world for BOTH versions of this excellent song, as well as many more versions.!

  • i like more his version than the one sung by crowded people!

  • @Cedjryou me, too

  • Well sung, but it's safe to say nothing beats the original!

  • WOOOOOOOOO CROWDED HOUSE !!!

  • hahaha u guys are so dumb & wudn't know good music if she slapped u in the face! James BLUNT is the MAN!

  • I SO LOVE JAMES BLUNT!!

  • Comment removed

  • This song is awesome and i like it more than the original!!!!

  • In love <3

  • Comment removed

  • Just after the words "do you let your tears" i usually sing "and I'm not pretty enough" because of Axis of Awesome :P

  • way better than original

  • who would dislike this? it's brilliant.

  • i'm sorry i like neil finn too much to ever consider this to be good.

  • Johnny :(

  • Thumps up, if u are here because of O.C!!!!

  • SHUT UP AND ENJOY THE MUSIC!!!!!

  • Bye my false friends....falce christianity

  • Great song:)

  • Been a fan of Tim and Neil (Finn) for over 30 years now. From the days of Split Enz. I normally find ANY cover lacking in merit and passion. James has a nice acoustic version of this.

  • Oc <3

  • johnny harper :'( </3

  • the question is...why did You direct attention????

  • Personally, to me this song is amazing

  • 58 Peoples dont know O.C., California !!

  • O.C FOREVER ♥

  • omg crowded house tottally ripped off james blunt

  • @Anabrgz neill finn of crowded house wrote it, so clearly not.

  • @themasterplan79 you know sarcasm do you?

  • @Anabrgz fucking idiot

  • @Anabrgz no your just embarrassing

  • yeahhhh nah

  • O.C, California ♥

  • Johnny Harper!!! <3 <3 Seriously missed.

  • One of my favourite songs, and I quite like James Blunt, but for me this just doesn't touch Crowded House. Seems like a cover for cover's sake. Disappointing.

  • @CrazyWater27

    I feel similar, it's not rubbish but it's not that special. You should check out Boy and Bear's cover of Fall at Your Feet, I reckon they do it more justice.

  • sounds so original. david blunt can write a tune.

  • thumbs up if OC or Axis of Awesome brought you here! :)

  • when a great song is written it does not matter who sings it it is still a great song. One of the greatest songs Neil Finn ever wrote and nothing ruins it

  • I did not know that cover...It's just perfect...:-)

  • You know what they say about opinions... but my 0.02$, I'm a fan of Crowded House, and I like James Blunt's work, but this is far from the best cover of this song. I wouldn't say it's terrible, but it's pretty close.

  • I am only posting this because i love her.

  • @HaliwLwuiA i feel the same about this girl im talking to... this song comes mind

  • my boyfriend sent me this, telling me that it reminded him of me..

    He left me about a month ago..

    Im still trying to put myself backtogether, one tiny peice at a time..

    He left me to clean up the mess that he created with his own hands..

    FML </3

  • This is the saddest song,

    it contributed to me balling my eyes out , when Johnny died on oc,

    :( <3

    love you johnny harper.

  • Per diem! BGT - 10 x better!!!!

  • what a toss pot

  • adore !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3

  • song is not bad...infact i love,,,as a musician dude tried something diff and i like it

  • wow .If he was a butcher he'd make this song ground beef . This version is crap

  • OC!!!!

  • looooove it :D:D:D:D:D:D

  • Jaaaaaames Bunt <3

  • Your voice is amazing <3

    

  • Your voice is amazing <3

  • this is actually the best cover i've ever heard

  • Good cover of an even better song. I love YouTube comments, so many trolls :)

  • i know, but this cover is great, all his songs are, and his version is unique

  • Sacrillage this prick should be hung for this

  • @stonedroses100 What the hell are you talking about? You can't ruin a song, cause the original will always be out there or in your mind, if that's the one you prefer. Let others do their thing, and never mind if you like this or not. An original song can never be ruined, they'll always be there mate :)

  • Vem pro Brasil. :/

  • Beautiful as usual...This is the first time I have heard this song and I can think of quite a few who would fall at his FEET!!!

  • love james blunt, heard this song from the o.c but all james blunt songs are simply great.unique

  • @christiees2 this is not a james blunt song, its by crowded house he just covered it, but he did an ok job at that

  • @christiees2 sorry i think it sounds ok but how can a song he covered be unique??

  • @chestylarroo84 If he makes it his own like Jamie Cullum did with don't stop the music and probably others but that is the only one I can remember right now

  • lovin this song :-)

  • OC ! :)

  • Io amo James. Punto e stop.

  • @Nav15JB Punto, nel senso che la cosa si ferma li! Lui non ama te e mai ti amerà! Mi dispiace.

  • @armafallo ahahahaha bella battuta, mi sono sbellicata dalle risate.

  • @Nav15JB In bocca al lupo in ogni caso! :D

  • <3

  • boy and bear is best

  • Mike Masse plays and sings this song just much better than this fag. The way that James "Bump" sings sucks.

    Check this out, so you guys can see that I ain't fucking kidding.

    watch?v=_Unm-A39TnU

  • beautt.

  • let it go..]

    ill be there...

    when you re in the army lyrics have always another meaning don t they James?

  • are ye all mad.... this is the best cover of fall at your feet.... Crowded house make it sound catchy blunt makes it sound beautiful

  • For the people that say he's ruining a great song, please direct your attention at shows like GLEE and the other so called musicians. This is actually not bad.

  • @killerclass101 I agree with you soo much!!!!We cannot compare james with GLEE and all the same bullshit!

  • @killerclass101 Agreed It's not bad, It's just that Neil Finn is such an amazing live vocalist and this is such a great song that any cover by anyone will sound rather shite.

  • better than the original.

  • he is good, but not enough. he seems breathless o_o

  • this is an interesting attempt at an incredible song.... FAIL stupid boy

    CROWDED HOUSE FTW :)

  • I cant believe that their aren't rules against this!

    He shouldn't have been allowed to ruin this song.

  • Jesse Cook does a GREAT cover of Neil Finn's song,with flamenco guitar!

  • This is a truly aweful rendition... to call it a butchery would be too complimentary.

    Neil Finn would be turning in his grave.. (even tho hes still alive).

    Yes, boy and bear's cover is amazing because theirs is an awesome new take on an already awesome song.

  • how can anyone compare this to any of Neil FINN's perfect renditions of his own song. FINN is the master and BLUNT the apprentice

  • Such a beautiful song.

  • Gosh, this is really pretty... O.o

  • boy & bear do a great cover :)

  • this version is the greatest

  • if the original is so much better then go watch the original?

    i think james blunt did an amazing job of this, he added his own little touch to it and he did it very well.

  • The problem with this song to be is that its too fast.. Its not ment to be this fast.. Thats not the emotion I believe its trying to capture

  • Crowded House, Boy and Bear and James Blunt have done outstanding versions of this beautiful song. End of.

  • JOHNNY FROM THE OC!! :(

  • @beXnicola was a douuuuchee bag.

  • much prefer the original although some people may like it because james blunt puts james blunt in it.

  • This is terrible.

  • I think this great but the boy and bear version is a lot better!

  • doesnt do the song justice at all neil finn still the best version his accoustic version tht he did for uk arena with 2 of his mates was awesome

  • i love james blunt and i love oc california and when there are songs by JB in oc its wonderful!

  • beatiful song :)

    

  • beautiful rendition

  • people shutdafuck up....pls...if u wanna hear the original version then you should type by the crowded house ,,,,,,,thizz is james blunt version now stop talking shit...

  • boy and bear shits all over this cover!

  • I don't think I really like this version. I don't like what his voice does...

  • This version is far better than the original. It just is.

  • @alexanderwotl Have a word with yourself would you mate, Crowded House like Irn Bru is original and best!

  • i love this song <3

  • hrmm i dont think it is as good, but covers can be better than the original ie. knocking on heavens door by Guns and Roses

  • This cover has much more emotionality to it than the original to me in both the vocals and guitar. I think that cover songs can be better than the original (ex., Gary Jules' Mad World) though of course the songwriter deserves credit for creating the song in the first place.
