2008 OVERALL WINNER: Devendra Banhart - Don't Look Back In Anger

[GUNNYinc]

it's so weird but i love it!

[15381472]

sounds like the intro is played on the same piano john lennon played on imagine

[Erin6969Pants]

@Avaricelovesvanity I am you! We is am! Am is me? Si!

[lizforsyth27]

this is the best cover ever, f-u all

and for the record, oasis sucks

[TheElJesus]

@lizforsyth27 no, Oasis FUCKING sucks.

[miyararazombie]

Me acuerdo de ti, :D

Siempre recuerdo la parte en que llegas a darle color a todo mi alrededor a todo mi ser...

And today... not u_u jajajaja

:D

te mito forever, wuju! :D

[Tjozzy123]

What a cover!! Why all the haters

[nickh40]

Shouldn't be allowed to get away with this.

[MrDtaylor86]

What a shit cover of a awesome song

[Erin6969Pants]

@AvariceLovesVanity i dunno... o.o

[AvariceLovesVanity]

this version sucks...

[FiqDzeko]

IMAGINE THERE'S NO... OOOPS WRONG SONG

[xdarkherox93]

@FiqDzeko i laughed out loud :)

[fearrock1]

i've noticed that most people who never tried acid dont really like devendra

[MStevo7695]

HAHAHAH WTF is this. is so weird!

[yootooberism]

swing and a miss.



[laurepsuarez]

Los hermanos Gallagher se revolverían en su tumba al escuchar esto si no fuera porque los muy cabrones no están muertos...

[john84928]

lol jazz?

[HuyerPercussive]

wow... i'm amazed at how horrible this is...

i can't imagine any fan of oasis liking this...

and why would this video win any awards...?? it has absolutely NO relevance to the song...

[daniel171095]

@HuyerPercussive i beg to differ

[Erin6969Pants]

@HuyerPercussive it does. Pay attention and you'll see the message.

Really only a deep person would understand something like this.

[HuyerPercussive]

@Erin6969Pants yes, appeal to your superior sense of "depth" without explaining what the "underlying message" is.

making a claim without substantiating it is pretty pointless.

[Erin6969Pants]

@HuyerPercussive its one of those things you have to find yourself bro :3

[AvariceLovesVanity]

@Erin6969Pants hahahaha classic cop out for people who don't know what they're talking about :3

[Erin6969Pants]

@AvariceLovesVanity well I am ^^; hehe. I dun care if you dun believe me or not :D but it is hehe :3

[AvariceLovesVanity]

@Erin6969Pants you am?? you am what?? you am know what you're talking about?? >.<

[jamiek321321]

Am I the only person that thinks it sounds like he's having a stroke...

[HuyerPercussive]

@jamiek321321 i completely agree.

his voice makes me want to punch babies... and subsequently eat them.

[pcostel1]

In Soviet Russia song covers you!

[UlleGermany90]

The Gallaghers would both shit on it...

[pm2702]

the beginning reminds me of imagine - john lennon

[partyhardydardy]

@pm2702 thats what i was thinking

[omggarybuseyRULES]

I thoroughly respect anyone who likes devendra banhart and still recognizes how bad this is.

[perlehoene]

damn. hate it when good musicians do bad covers.

[HRHooChicken]

what the fuck is this ive clicked on

[WhiteRoseRiotBoy]

well it started good, the intro. But what the fuck is the rest of it all about????? what a fucking mess. Arty farty nonsense, fucking shit.

[DanJoshMac]

ABSOLOUTELY SHIT

[dirkplummer]

nice

[lau979]

Devendra gave us primary colours to paint the cities! Enjoy your imagination.

[mickadublin1]

1 word SHITE!!



[ycontrolxx]

GAGA (lol)

[JRusiak]

Rubbish!

[omggarybuseyRULES]

Fuck, this is terrible.

[Dalekfry]

@omggarybuseyRULES

So what's so terrible about it?

All you've given is your opinion and you haven't justified it yet, what part of it don't you like?

[omggarybuseyRULES]

@Dalekfry

He's got a good voice. Everything else is worse than the original. 

[PAULLONDEN]

@omggarybuseyRULES Yeh ,the dude's beginning to believe his own hype. boring selfimportant crap.

Can understand though,why todays charisma starved customers get fooled by this.

Every generation needs a Barrett or Bolan ,never mind how thin the veneer.

[omggarybuseyRULES]

@PAULLONDEN

I agree with everything you said, even though I think those are 2 of teh most irrelevant people who ever lived.

[1Veetnisha]

Wow: Very cool how this song is covered by Devendra: I love this vibration of intimacy he transports always by his musical art-creations! Goes under the skin directly into the heart....<3 Sooo... cool!!!

[The8thhouse]

great open . . . nice.

[VVRamone]

Still reminds me of a Tim Burton film.

[ivan7526]

LOL, WTF

[davemorphine]

piano - imagine beatles rip

[TheMotomouth]

@davemorphine Well, oasis openly admitted that the beatles were one of the influences, so i wudn't can it a rip..

[GDFullOn]

@davemorphine

First off all it's called homage

Secondly Imagine is not a Beatles song....it's a Lennon solo song

If your gonna be a smartass...at least try and get the basic facts correct.

[tinnigeimgengill]

genius

[MonroeCt]

Reminds me of Mr Bill. Ooh noo!

[kangurokid]

a shitty song saved

[cassbanhart]

oui orgasmic c bien le mot, tout simplement magnifique

[MisterPeeeee]

in this he sounds a bit like anthony and the johnsons. .. nice =)

[Sofii112]

the first riff sounds like champagne supernova, doesn't it?

[elfinia]

A good song ruined.

[ilovelincecum]

the beginning reminds me of imagine by john lennon

[K3nsuo]

Que buena version!

[whenthedreamcame]

he gave me like an 8 second hug and told me he loved me. close to the happiest day of my life.

[CatMaster9000]

favourite song, favourite artist. oh yeah

[tueybooo]

The whole point of a cover is reinterpreting a song in your own musical style. Devendra is Devendra and Oasis is Oasis, if you don't like then it don't listen to it.

[MrBittenheroes]

I don't know why it's described as a 'guilty pleasure'. It's a classic British rock song that will live down the ages. Bloody hell.

[ryanadamsfan1]

devendra is weird he's genius!

[chefmalix]

Amazing video great animation and symbolism in the story and the music is great cause the devendra gives it his own style.

[starkyliam]

agreed, original is better...this version sounds like a christmas or coffeehouse version...at least it suits the video.

[MoreBarn71]

Love this. A perfect blend of musical art with visual. Bootiful. My dream poker table would be Devendra, Dylan, Chris Robinson and me.

[kasabianempire07]

For me, the original is faaaar superior than this version. Noel's voice and arrangement on the original is awesome. The voice on this is way too weird, doesn't portray the emotion of the song.

I also don't udnerstand how the song is considered a "guilty pleasure", considering it's a British classic. Well actually I'm not suprised, "indie" nowadays usually means pretentious people with weird haircuts and skinny jeans!

[KimmOetegenn]

devendra banhart is orgasmic, it is impossible to not like his voice.

[newslang91]

This man is a genius !! That's the best way to sing this song...

Devendra Banhart is God !

[packts]

Devendra Banhart is a great musician!! It´s sad when you can´t see it... very sad...

[F2125524]

@packts Noel Gallagher IS a great musician what is sad is this attempt to cover Oasis' masterpiece.

[90sand19]

ke merda....molto meglio la versione originale!!!! w gli oasi!!!!

[ZiggyStardust2329]

Fucking post-modern attempt to sing it differently just for the sake of being different. Absolutely terrible vocals, this guy needs to die in a fire.

[irishguy331]

agree with you 100%. Trying so hard to be unique its pathetic!!! Instrumentals to this song sound fine but his voice is like nails on a chalkboard... TERRRIBLE!!!

[mentecata6]

by the way...this is pretty sad :| the video contains so much longing..

[mentecata6]

that voice is pure magic!

I'm in heaven now...

[JoeyfromPhilly]

why is the album called guilt by association? he's covering Oasis one of the greatest bands on earth, not brittany spears. btw oasis version much more powerful

[equusMenagerie]

oasis better

[GodFStudio]

I agree, his version is softer for sure, and also, I don't think Oasis is a Guily Pleasure sort of band, it's not if he did Vengaboys or Britney Spears like you say. Thumb up

[Tiago1904]

É assim que se transforma uma música mediana numa grande música, grande Devendra!

[alsbart]

such AWESOME cover! impressive!!!

[Maccaseven07]

its an oasis song redone by some fuck wit

[zakiechan]

Hmm. This is one of my fav oasis songs ever. And I like Devendra... but his version sucks.

[decayedwood]

this song is amazing! i think it's better than the orig... it's one of those songs for me that you don't like at first and it totally grows on you and you can't stand not listenin to it every day

[GodFStudio]

You won't like it at the first listening

But it get stuck in your head and you'll keep listening to it until you love it

[MrAdamski21]

love devendra but i tink he cud of done a job of this one, still good but not great

[FuzzSprinkle]

Holy Hell Kleinbauter... I guarantee that I speak for just about everyone. Just shut up.

This "song" is a travesty.

And I'm chill and have lots of love, but i hate you.

[kleinbauter]

I don`t get it - what can one NOT like about that?!

I love devendras style since 2000 - and that won`t ever change. How come some people get sooo aggressive here? This is about love! Chill, guys! :-)

[Tmendler]

i love devendra, but this is really not good at all

[q28s1]

maybe cause you're a douche

[redmanson121]

nice video and song like it...

[Amorisey2010]

I love both of these artists, but this is just utter shite. So disappointing

[andersbarca]

No the intro is Champagne Supernova

[kounoupiaa]

the intro sounds like "imagine"

[Vogelfrei777]

The Intro of "Don't look back in anger" is taken from "Imagine".

[r4mbler]

I agree

[hcohniexy]

so shiiiiiiit!

[dcreelman1982]

Hacked to bits, couldn't even get through the whole thing....I had to stop to be sick...ha.

[Cephlin]

Shit the bed that's a bit over the top ain't it? can't imagine what you'd do if you heard that peice of shit original

[zebrametal100]

Slip inside the eyes of your mind

Don't you know you might find a better place to play

But you'd said that you'd never been

But all the things that you'd seen will slowly fade away

We'll just start a revolution from my bed

Cause you said the brains I had went to my head

So step outside summertime's in bloom

And stand up beside the fireplace, take that look from off your face

[pbuk]

Wtf?

[Annphant]

wait...listening to it the second time makes me less dissappointed.

(:

[Annphant]

I love banhart but the way he projected his voice in this, very wonderful, song makes me sad.

[AnthonyOASIS]

Sorry, I respect Oasis far too much to say that this is a good version

But hey ! , Thats only my opinion, all different people like different types/versions of songs

[magoiocco]

very good

[tsinnn]

I really like it!

[cndn85MB]

Anyone know where to find the cover of (Get off your) High Horse Lady?

I'm kind of scared to listen to it. I mean...nobody hate me...but I don't think that Devendra Banhart is my cup of tea. But people keep going on about how great that version is and I want to check it out for myself.

[rosainaniel]

Hey it's possible to love both of them !

I think that OASIS rocks !!!

I'm only love when I listen to devendra songs!

...and I love this video! I love the video, I love the original song & and I love the cover also!

it's not a crime...

[forestrootshakyknees]

i respect oasis, but i feel as though Devendra is way better, and that he did a far better job with this song. this is my opinion.

[Radioeyebrow]

Magnific clip from Devendra Banhart.

Great music.

[hoolzote]

everyone should relax.

so much fighting... over the internet =lame

[interpolluter29]

But you gotta admit, it's pretty entertaining.

[mandatruco]

it's just a terrific flow coming from devendra

[gongorastv]

Devendra Banhart's music is 10 times better than Oasis...

[nnnnoe]

the worst thing i've EVER heard, oasis shouldn't allow people to use their songs to do such a shit

[sasdelli]

oasis is too much better.. folk is cheat.

[marcosacustico]

Awsome!!!!! Debendra took a terrible song and made it become so nice

[JoeyTheFatKid]

your crazy. Dont Look Back in Anger is a rock and roll classic!

[jamjamjamsession]

wtf are you sayin?? you fuckin asshole. go fuck yourself

[pbuk]

Worst cover ever.

[forgottencouto]

eu quero desviar meus pensamentos

[thuglife84578]

this sucks!!!!!

[paperflower091]

i like it...the vocals are a little odd but i love how he incorporated the guitar solo from champagne supernova in the beginning. i give him props for putting his own spin on it.

[mcardim]

The intro reminds a bit of "Imagine" by John Lennon. And the way he plays the guitar reminds the Brazillian Samba.

[waginchicken]

I love this, but then I love Devendra, so I spose it's to be expected. Marmite, if you know what I mean!

[Tonivelerolongyang]

sIMPLEmENt faNTAStIc...mARaVAlLOS.

[pityrubibarna]

i don't like it i'm spanish and the orginal version is the best.

Att://.::PiTyRuBiBaRnA::.

[AdlejandroP]

imagine theres no heaven

[DanTheHobbit]

Devendra's not for everyone. If you can deal with a demolition of what you know and love, then this cover's pretty decent. I've heard plenty worse open mic folks who try to emulate the original, so a weirdo spinning his own version's refreshing.

[BilltheImposter]

this guy is a crazy fucking genius

[BNtin0ola]

so cute....and i love devendra...this is a cute version of this song...:)

[rockthecasbah92]

i rather like the instrumental beginning, but his vocals are awful

like yeah its artistic, but they arent good

[AnonymouslyCivil]

i love it =]

[oasisbigfan]

i quite like it

[xxnatt]

his vocals just killed it.. i liked the music cover of it but just the vocals are killing me..

[wcatdoor]

i just dint like the vocals but it was great

[hannahelll]

i think it's great.

devendra's goddamn crackhead.

[salibubba]

So this piano is 95% of John Lennon's "Imagine"? WTF is that.

[squeakvl]

that's how the Oasis version starts. But yes, it's basically the same

[tjourneyman]

looks like something Adam Jones would do if he were on muscle relaxers...

[babymistakes]

dead on

[Stuvoodoo]

this is total crap you guys! i bet even devendra knows it. . . .but whats all that boys give me head stuff? boys dress like girls is cool. but why have to mention 'head' specifically intead of love or somethin. . . . . . ..............?

[kingdaveydave]

devendra's pretty great

[RuckusAmsel]

whoa the video is just so fuckin' great, lloove the look.

this should also win the award for most brutal disgusting cover of an amazing song ever. seriously this is such a massacre I'm visibly sick by it

[Emizette]

it sounds so different that it doesn't even sound like a cover. Very cool. :)

[subterreanhighrise]

it's not a cover, but an interpretation. a quite good one too ... i mean if i want to hear like the 1000000. cover of DLBIA i just grab the guitar and do it myself :)

[GrandmasMan]

He used the same lyrics, and tune, and notes... how is that not a cover?

[IFeeley]

Video is good but wtf is with the song, its terrible :l

[Plattyuk]

I love this! And its not about being better then the original, its about making it your own, which Devendra did. :)

[tomhargreavescom]

i don't usually leave negative comments, but that was just plain awful.

terrible singing, and very so-so video.

i know nothing of the contest it was in, but the judges must have been high at the time.

[poti88]

the begining sounds like imagine

[jonilzon999]

worst cover ever

[djdany87]

this is the best acoustic version of DLBIA!

[combustivity]

I like this, but still prefer the original

[Terrabithian]

I think the original is SOOOO much better

[Psychonautical]

This is amazing. <3 Devendra.

[Pamathey]

The guitar hurts my ears. I might start crying any second now.

The video is cool... but this is just too painful to stick around for.

[biaparedes]

the way he sing this song, seem like a caetano veloso. LOL

[flusek]

Este video es fantástico, realmente me gusta la música que el crea junto con todos para formar Devendra Banhart. Felicidades!!!

[shellsdrops]

devendra can sing anything he wants at all and it will always be beautiful!

[plopnod]

can't say much about oasis really.i'm kinda neutral about them.this however is wonderful.great happy feel to it.check out his other stuff,it's amazing

[tadds0322]

anyone know where i can get guitar tab/chords for this one? can't find it anywhere.

[monsterfreak4pk]

he cant sing

[alfaBAT9]

massacred. cool video though.

[EvaSwa]

I like this cover better than the original Oasis song (:

[mont3818]

Great cover, but can someone explain "I want to live like of them boys dressed like girls dressed like boys who give me head,"?

It's because of that line I would play it for my mother haha. Thanks.

[australialove]

dont play it for your mother because of that line. definitely not. if you play it for her, say something DURING that line lol.
