I actually respect Kelly Clarkson, but her version is over-produced...so I disagree that it's the singer, not the song. I wish she had sung this version instead
@23Incubus23 I think what makes Kelly unique is her ability to make her own music and sing her version of it; i don't think gaslight would disagree....they can take a song and make it their own. Kelly does that with every song she sings, whether she wrote it or not; whether she was the one who originally sang the song or not. So, credit to Kelly for singing her songs her way....and to GA cause they rock, too!
@sturgiekaitlyn haha, yeah dude i pretty much live and breath this band xD i really hope they dont go that way. Ill have to check out that triple j interview too :D
I hate to say it... but I kinda hope that Gaslight don't go down the mainstream route and get too popular. I mean, don't get me wrong, this video alone deserves double the views all the trashy pop songs out now have collectively! But I fear that if Gaslight (In my opinion, the most promising and talented band out there right now) and Brian Fallon (My idol) do get mainstream popularity, they'd end up changing their style too drastically- it'd be sad to lose Gaslight to today's "Music Scene."
@TheLimo64 Mate, I don't know if you've watched any interviews with any of the band members but there's pretty much no way they would go down that road, their personalities and ethos just wouldn't allow it! Also in an segment with triple j Brian refered to this cover, saying that he had a very limited choice of songs to choose from and that this was one of the best in the list, so don't stress!
When i first saw Kelly Clarkson i thought 'what!?' but i should never have seconded guessed the Fallon he is the legend that walks among mere mortals ha. fantastic cover... better than the original!
Brian Fallon is a friend of mine, and I can tell you personally he is a genuine regular guy who lives and breathes his music. I new him when we both were in different bands and we would just talk shoot the shit(way before any success) and I'd tell him to stay outta trouble... lol.........Love ya Bro!!!!!
@sikkirikki Lucky! I met him once, and I feel like he's got such a depth of knowledge about pretty much everything that every conversation with him might just change your life.
It made me like a song that I found annoying. Thus forcing me to listen to the lyrics and find some good meaning and lyrics in it. That to me is amazing.
This is how you do a fucking pop/top 40 cover. So many bands, when they cover something like that they do it ironically or with tongue in cheek and it usually ends up lame. But Brian knows how to do it. He pours the same level of sincerity and raw feeling into this song as he does into his own music. Love it.
It's fine but the melody and timing are definatly second to the origional. It feels like they said 'let's slow it down and change it up' without really looking at the song. The timing and delivery of the verses is wrong
@brianlongrox well, it's a cover. they are supposed to make it their own and tweak it to their own style. that's what they did, and it's beautiful. just saying.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
ok seriously, you all are saying he adds all this emotion and shit to the song, but when i hear him it sounds like hes an emotional robot. hes singing with no passion, no edge. he does not sound into the song at all! kelly is the best, i listened to katy perry singing it too and shes better than this emotionless guy
I at first believed you to be someone who knew what they were talking about. But as soon as I read your Katy Perry remark, I quickly realised that I was very wrong, and that you are very very confused.
@mcldub alright there mcldub, i didnt think it was by katy perry either, but then i read the comment by brickbyboringbrick7 saying katy perry was first, so i looked it up, and this seems to be true. so why dont you go look it up yourself and when your done you can suck my big hairy balls
@mcldub im not completely sure if katy wrote the song, but i did hear her sing it, thats what i meant when i said " i listened to katy perry singing it too" biotch
@Fr05tyFlak35 What the fuck song were you listening to? Brian Fallon is so talented and this version totally redeems the song. Talk about being a robot...
brian fallon is not the gaslight anthem, just a part of it. they're much better as a whole. However he does save this song and he could never have wrote it but he performs it way better than kelly. i draw comparison to tom gable here and i think he stands up better asa solo guy than brian as I think Brian needs the band. His other stuff is boring without
