bat for lashes - a forest (the cure cover)

[XDRory]

Stop bitching you narrow minded fuckwits and try to realise it's a COVER, it's obviously going to be different. Why post negative comments in the first place if it's obviously not going to be the same as the version you love so much?

[claudiasometimes]

Only true The Cure lovers can appreciate a nice cover like this one.

[otterboi26]

Great cover. Love bat for lashes and the cure.

[mattnnalan]

The cure now can qualify for a Rock and Roll hall of Fame Induction...i think..They(and love and rockets/ pete m) deserve to be in for what they have done for music. not just the immensely beautiful soundscapes created, but also for the MAJOR influence on modern music... i'm a cure fan till the end, and not much of a modern music fan...but seriously!! it's time!!

[DataUnit]

<3 !

[Vypir1966]

Disgraceful cover. Lost the whole purpose.....lost in a forest = faster...a person in a forest starting to panic. Stick to your own music. I wish fuckwits would stop covering the Cure.

[gravesofqueens]

@Vypir1966 I wish fuckwits would refrain from posting annoying, bring-down, snobish comments nobody wants to read.

[xXRubella666Xx]

@gravesofqueens Exactly. It's a cover, not a clone. Some people are so dumb.

[NekoMageMusic]

Oh no it's different it's not the same oh no I can't deal with change oh no no no I can't handle it oh no oh nooo

[mtsn]

Could it be a little less boring?

[juanaloulehoux]

This is great, has a Depeche Mode twist to it, very good cover!

[gfbelich]

~~~~~~~~wth

so fuckin great cover

deal with it haters

[snakeplisskeniena]

i really enjoy it!

[tarasthelordofprawns]

Stop bitching about how the original is better, we all know it. Instead try this: fool your brain into believing this is not a cover and somehow it becomes a really good song.

[MeRiAnNe666]

Both bands awesome but she kinda ruined this cover...

[xXRubella666Xx]

@MeRiAnNe666 I actually think it's marvelous. I may even prefer it to the original, just because of its dramatic quality.

[shagmydog]

haunting and if i didnt know the cure version id like it but i do and this sucks.......

[TheManolakis]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !

[Micaelas]

yep, she definitely destroyed the song...

I love both bands, but really?!? don't think she enhanced the cure AT ALL!

[changemytone]

A truly shitty and boring cover of a great song.

[LUSCii0USxLOLiiP0P]

they did an amazing job!

adore the cover! <3

[Errorcode44]

For me - one of the most beautiful songs ever...

[MrLight4u]

i'm a big cure fan too...but this cover is a good one with respect to the original...i saw the cure on their first germany tour and later in the 80 when they where bigger...its a important band for this decade...and for me too:-)

[stonewtube]

i like it ... !

and I love the Cure ....!

[sordon4]

cmon!!!!!!!! this is a big shit

[mattosj76]

AWESOME cover!

[camisadokiller666]

I'm a big fan of the Cure, but in this case I think this cover is better than the original.

[6747654]

Im sorry but i LOVE the cure and this cover is just i dont know i dont like it on my behave we all cant like the same things but she does have a nice voice

[satbir129]

i liked this version better....

[simionTheOne]

she's got a beautiful voice, no doubt

but i agree

this song's all about the instrumental parts & the atmosphere

this wont do as a finished cover for me

[lewisduncan93]

Killed the song.. the whole part is the about the instruments and effects.

[emzie66]

im sorry i hate this , that version has ruined one of the my favorite songs ever, thumbs down.

[vientinho]

OMG! What They Do To THE CURE!!!

OOH NO STOP DOING THIS

[pjcotterill2]

Love the original and think this is a very thoughtful and careful cover. As a seperate issue; there's a horrible, dark part of me (akin to the imagery in the song) that would like to hear a filthy (yet well executed) dubstep/heavy electronic remix. Anyone with me?

[ashtrayheartx]

when i heard she covered the cure, i knew she'd do it well. however, this cover has exceeded my expectations. she's very talented.

[KaesexKuchen]

Im a massive cure fan so i was like oh noez this could be awful D: clicked and it was actually really enchanting. love it.

[Technobimbo]

this version is more powerful for me

[gazzylime]

She turned down the 80s new wave cool, and turned up the intensity and longing of the song.

[BellsOnGrave]

I think its a nice interpretation.

[wildmoodswings1]

i agree about not liking Cure covers..but this is pretty good. I actually like bat for lashes.

[mistressabyss]

I think both versions are good.

It's like Tori Amos' cover of Smells Like Teen Spirit.

These dreamy clear versions make you appreciate how truly amazing the original band is. I mean, can you truly appreciate the amazing lyrics when Robert sings it? Well, yeah, ofcourse, but not as well as on here. The Cure are complete genious. And I love this cover, even though it makes me want to cry soo much.

Both songs have completely different atmospheres, it's amazing.

[Rimaamane]

LOVE IT. Bat for lashes should make a video for this.

[Xephon212]

Hot Hot Hot was dance music as well.

[KrmillaKrstein]

This one is really good however i still madly love Ror Shak's cover

yet the ending of this one was good unexpected, i didnt like that much the heys heys yet its good

[catsaregrey]

i usually dislike Cure covers, but i heard this today and thought it was great. cool take on the song.

[spawnlly]

Didn't like the "hey" at the end, but it is def a dreamy version.. :)

[filappick]

Dreamy beautiful version... just like it must be for this wonderful unforgettable song

[77ggosia]

calkiem ,calkiemk

[debwatch]

Hypnotizing!

[mangouldbarrington1]

this is a really good version of this song. totally different feel from the original, maybe even more melancholy if that's possible. but that's what makes this work so well.

[Daveborg94]

Absolutely amazing voice.

[greenpowercr]

wow, this song appears in "fringe" trailer in warner channel, when i heard it i couldn't get it out of my head until i found it!!!!

[mateopumba747]

exact same story

[greenpowercr]

muy muy buena, un estilo unico!

[cuddawuddashudda]

I had the same experience except that its not this version in the trailer. Its actually the one by a band called ror-shak. You can check them out here on You Tube.

[greenpowercr]

you're completely right!! now that song seems more familiar to me, unless both are very similar, thanks mate!

[wakis0dude]

yup, the same lol

[unfunkit]

damn, this is the best

[anechka12]

this cover is the best song i've ever heard...

[huhnanuhmarijuana]

I am a HUGE Cure fan. This is one of the first covers I've ever really loved. I really enjoy how she made this her own and yet kept the atmosphere of the song. Beautiful.

[andreabak]

Amazing... though being the original much darker, she's got a pretty personal way of expressing feelings

[chadsnadsrox]

This is a good Cure Cover.

[TomMunster]

This is a fantastic cover you can tell she loves the original.

[ajittffcure]

Very good version. I loved it. It is very melodic.

[Sfod5000]

Amazing cover - good work.

[LipsLikeSugar78]

As a huge Cure fan, I am not generally a fan of covers of their songs... However, Bat For Lashes is definitely the exception. This is truly amazing.

[Nonvm]

@LipsLikeSugar78 DId you like the "carpathian forest" cover?

[dustycool66]

i love Bat For Lashes, but i liked Nouvelle Vague's version better.

[capricornchick]

loved it :D

[maggot0801]

This is a great cover..

I'm a Cure fan too...

And I love them!

[aerithsflo]

Very atmospheric. I prefer to the Cures version. Its creepier!

[CaptainStigmata]

I <3 The Cure and Bat For Lashes!

[Vypir1966]

Been a Cure fan and musician since 79...I actually loved this version. Very well done. Loved the intro.

[keereerar]

i am a HUGE cure fan and i love bat for lashes, but i'm going to be honest, i was a little disappointed. i really thought bat for lashes would add a little more. it seemed kind of lifeless until the end.

[jazzifarian70]

Nice f417h, I just rambled off, on a Bat for Lashes, quickie tour, Wowsers! Great artist's

[mspen1018]

Nice, another big fan of Robert Smith and company.
