@StrongImaginationA unfortunately, in terms of energy and driven-ness, it doesn't come anywhere near the original. For a creative cover it's not creative enough.
I would love to see if these d!cks on these youtube comments would go to these gigs and boo the band. It's a COVER, it's supposed to be different and NOT an exact replica of the original!
no offense taken, not a bad cover but YOU telling ME or ANYONE that this guys voice is better than david byrnes is ridiculous. that's like yer OPINION man. the original was BRILLIANT give it a listen. pretty good version here, great songs=great covers. have fun today everybody!
Guys im not being funny, but youve gotta like this version better than the talking heads one, toms voice just makes the song, respect to the talking heads though it was an awesomely written song, this cover is just awesome
and where not little children and we know what we want.4 8 15 16 23 42.see you in the next life brother.Great cover great band ,they can tell you what to do and they'll make a fool of you but who really gives a fuck its summer England are in the World cup finals and the beer is ice cold,i need no more.
They are herse of Joy Division, New Order, Talking Heads and all the best of the British music. And this is beautiful in this artificial, "american" World.
editors do not sound like joy division.why because they do dark rock pop songs too,so what.how many bands have used synths, guitars, drums and a bass.umm,1 or 2!.editors have a much crisper sound.i have both joy division albums and 3 editors.people are in love with the mythology around ian curtis(me included)curtis and smith both have great dark voices,i just wish i could have heard ian's voice a little clearer.this comparison is cliched populism.
Theyy Dont rip of joy division... joy division are the greatest and will never be beaten, is it to wrong for bands to try? Editors are by far the best band modern day
what a unique song to cover! one of the last songs I pictured Editors to do but that was great! boy would i love to go to a PinkPop festival, always such great lineups...
amazing, they could cover twinkle twinkle and it would be class! We're on a road to paradise here we go! :) original is good but this takes song to new level
This is one of the best songs ever, and also one of the funniest ever. I think making a good cover of it is nearly impossible, because the original just got every bit perfect. But at least they tried.
Editors is a fantastic band, but the reason I love them is their own songs.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
can i get in line now to not ever see this band cause this guys horrible. and what the hell is with him like raping/mollesting the mic with his mouth he like nearly covers the whole thing with his lips and the beggining it was scary
What's the deal with all the hating on this cover? I'm a huge fan of the talking heads, and you can't beat david byrne, but this is a REALLY good cover, minimalist and very different from the original.
@busterzzzzz It's a great song by a great GREAT band, and I'm also a huge Editors fan, but the problem that I have with it is that they've totally sucked all the fun out of what's supposed to be a ridiculously overblown, joyous song. It's normal for Editors - their music is pretty fucking downbeat, but I feel their taking the performance of this song a bit too seriously. That's all.
@gabe25591 I think that's what a good cover should do (not suck the fun out of a song), it should show a new take on a song. I think this cover does that, you can't deny it's very different from the original
@busterzzzzz Agreed, wtf is the point of making a copy of the always better original? Unless it's a Dylan song.. Then all covers are better than the original..
i love this song.. me and my son sing it all the time together. These guy s are better than me and my son by a long shot.. so i gotta love it.. I favorited it.. I got great ears for talent.. and i aint been drinking. I m not drunk you shilly sit.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i thought it was TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!!! at least carbonseven1st, solterer, nikorble2 and lesSmith45 have gud taste saying this is bad. anyone that likes this is either drunk or should be having an ear operation very soon. p.s. da singer is really bad...
I love this song, but I think people here are speaking just bad about the 'youth of today'. Saying they need some sense for good music and therefore need to listen to either Talking Heads, or their lyrics. Being a part of 'the youth of today' I think this is generalizing. I knew this song before I heard of any cover. Some 'wise' man ever said (Excuse me, I forgot his name) "Children like to listen to bad music, the music their parents listened in their childhood is good music". Amen..?
is it just me or is his voice kinda like ian curtis.this might just be me...but both are incredible.listen to open your arms by editors...the double of ian curtis.
wow i'm with you on that one dude..hes not quite as eccentric as mister curtis,but you can def hear similarities.their own tunes have the same style too
finding it difficult to type. Talking Heads are one of my fave bands, if this lad was my son, I would be so proud. David Byrne Fan, Salford. Now proper Editors fan.
fuck up dbcox2006, havent you got anything better to do than comment on how out if tune a musical genius, tom smith, is? and i would like to see you do better. tuneless wank. fuck up.
Editors have created there own sound; it's like U2 and there typiccal sound, I hope, that in 20 years, when my children hear this band, they will say, damn that's good, and I can say "yeah it's from myu youth"
