The Rasmus - Play Dead

[Giulia0175]

check out the 2012 tourdates!!

[lanalumiere]

i've heart this cover before, so i got used to hear Lauri singing it. When i opened Bjorks composition honestly i needed some time to feel the song in the right way...

[Secretstarz7]

I don't think his voice is quite strong enough for a song like this

[sTapleEVA]

look at the family tree version by bjork(with the brosky quartet) it really brings out the genius behind the composition. and her voice is raw/pure/powerful so it matches perfectly with the cellos and violins. All the brosky quartet versions are incredible!

[DurchZeitReisende]

To be honest I don't think this version is even partly as good as the original. I accept, that The Rasmus covered this song. It shows that it is a good song. But nobody can sing it as good as Björk.

[pamerasmus]

I really love this The Rasmus version ♥

[AlondraYam]

This is an amazing cover, so great just like the bjork

[kpnkpillai]

i love both Rasmus and Bjork. but THIS is rape :( completely robbed of the mood the original created

[Luvinhas]

Bjork rocks ...u guys are being cunts, he was very inspired on bjork...and are u guys deaf? have u listened to how she sings?

[Edgeworthscravat]

I'm not a fan of the original, but i think that the words have some beautiful meaning. Bjork is a talented artist, but just not my personal cup of tea.

[GothicAnnamal]

@Edgeworthscravat I agree.

[KROjb2]

I love both Rasmus and Björk... This cover can't obviously be compared to the original, cuz Björk... well she's Björk... But this guys did a great job:)

[mistergonsalves]

a bjork lover here . . . rasmus is hella awesome!

[Firewalkerbg]

Wow I didn't know they did a Bjork cover, that's an insanely brave thing to do, especially for Lauri. I've knew he wasn't a bad singer, but I never thought he would be all that good. Wow and wow :o

[leadu12]

Cette Reprise est vraiment magnifique .... je préféré largement la reprise a l'original !!!!

La premier fois que j'ai entendu cette chanson , le refrain ma fait penser a : Je défendrait pas vie - Bryan Adams !!!!

[thehumanbirdie]

1:17 holy shit thats good vocal work

[malicant123]

I don't like the Rasmus but this is a decent cover of a really good song. Bjork's original version is better though.

[migaseka]

bjork is bullshit

:D



[lokatr]

@migaseka Your life is bullshit :B

[migaseka]

@lokatr y tu eres una pinche zorra malparida al igual ke tu putisima y conchuda madre

you must waer google translator...bitch

[werner99]

probably this will get thumbs down or marked as spam or sth...

just saying i dont like the cover

[oresama93]

@werner99 it's all right...as long as you're polite XD

[sonofLUC1FER]

this is always how i wanted to sound. the guitar paying the sting secion inpaticular! fuckin rock on!

[0yukikuran0]

i love the rasmus but i don´t like this song so much...

[501poundmiget]

@0yukikuran0 then dont bother commenting on it.

[TheWildlife12]

the photos are very nice how can i get them?

[nancyLY4ever1]

i tried to listen bjork's version and i really couldn't... i did the mistake to listen first the rasmus version.. and of course i realized why i'm in love with lauri.. but anyway he likes bjork so why not make a new version of this song??? he actually did a great job.....

[HOSTvallo]

Best version, by far.. is by one of Sweden's finest, PAIN.

[juniper30]

Pretty damn good cover!

However, I wonder what an HIM version would sound like? Probably all sexy with burgundy, cabernet sauvignon or even absinthe overtones? :D

[Feshe911]

I rly like this song ^.^ So chill

[kokicute]

I don't like bjork, and I think that cover is amazing!!

don't like the original..

[SouthparkAvatarWater]

@kokicute Bjork Version is bettter..this one is more darkes i think

[GothicAnnamal]

@kokicute I'm sorry, Bjork fans, but I also prefer Lauri's vocals. On the other hand, the symphonic musical arrangement of Brork's original is amazing and I think she wrote this amazing song (?)

[camladyiswickeawsome]

ii love Bjork and the Rasmus, and especially that last pic! Way to get the person to smile! XD

[materidouska286]

I love Björk very much, she is a true artist but I like also Rasmus and although I would have never thought that someone would have guts to cover her song Rasmus did try and I have to say....this cover is brilliant, well done indeed.

[Zonyah]

I like both ~

Björk has her unique style but I love Tha Rasmus' singers raspy voice

[monik165]

i just have listened bjork and i must say that i prefer much more original version, there is so beautiful simphonic accent

[JAPANaBANANA]

It's not a bad cover, but I definately prefer the more atmospheric Bjork version.

[xmcflyeer]

I actually like this version better. *Please don't kill me Bjork-fans!* Each person has it's own opinions, and I think they did a better job with covering this song :)

[Catshaddow]

Won't kill you. ;)

I think they're both good. :) Even thought I like Björk more, as an artist.

[6littledevils]

....i belong to here where

no-one cares and no-one loves...

[NinaRossebille]

OMG I LOVE THE RASMUS!!!!! Lauri your the best and this is a good tribute to Björk

[poisonous666]

You stupid people!!Do you think Lauri is trying to reach his idol?I think it's his tribute to Björk!! I like her and I think she is unique but I also like The Rasmus. You shouldn't compare the original song to the cover just because it's a cover - they have made this song in the way they see it and to my opinion they've made a great cover!!

[rasmusgirl7]

It's an amazing cover, I don't care, what do Rasmu-haters think!!!

[extremexmikawz]

the rasmus ♥

[knifeinthedarkness]

this is a great cover and to esclafaPosers.....frankly you are tone deaf

[esclafaPosers]

What a terrible cover.

[nanaqwe]

love this song

[pegasusis]

me too..  :D

[fagnasty666]

preferred the Pain version tbh but i have to say even tho i hate The Rasmus i have to admit this was actually a very good cover

[SoloHero]

Wow this actually good. I'm pleasantly surprised... REALLY surprised.

[Rakastan0musiikki]

I love the original one by Björk and this one is an exellent version byThe Rasmus , it's Rockier !!

[vivatherasmus]

I think the ablum version is much better than Lauri's live version....

But I don't like the drum's melody.

It sounds too dull :(

The rest is good :)

[Nobbejo2]

I think Lauri is good in this

[MiSsiSsiPpiX]

Well, I am a big fan of The Rasmus, and this song is not "bad" but they got really better ones. :D And I also need to say, in my opinion the original song by bjork sounds better. =) For this song.

[geoffcarlin]

They must be sorrounded by "yes" men, because if they weren't, surely sombody would have told them "no"?

Nothing personal against the band - I'm not aware of their work, but I'll check out some of their original material - but this is pretty tame stuff.

[destructicon500]

The verses are okay, but the "City of feee-aaaar" part during the chorus (at least the way Bjork sings it) is what makes the song... and Lauri can't do it.

[goachucky]

I like both versions. I'm happy to see that there are still some people, who don't like the band but don't fun of the fans :)

[goachucky]

*don't MAKE fun...

sorry^^

[xdevilxduckyx]

both versions are awesome...

rock on

[Sharkey1997]

Is this a joke? Please say this isnt serious

[dedlydanielsan]

I'm afraid they are serious. At least we can always go back to the original.

[OffLabelUse]

Another cover no one actually needs. Well sung, but not more. They do not only fail trying to express the emotions as Björk does, they don't even try.

But well, such a cutiepie like Lauri you can forgive a lot, eh? :-P

[Aidenfan2]

Lauri has stated many times that he is a massive Bjork fan and I think that he was just really happy to be able to cover one of her songs. Also, Bjork has a very unique style when she sings. Each version is good in its own way

[knifeinthedarkness]

he is a bjork fan. hes not emo . i am. bjorks was tonedeaf. lauri's is better has expression and doesnt sound like a castrated gorilla

[ajason495]

if bjork is his idol, he should have done this to her song.. its horrid!!! there is no real emotion and passion like bjork has. he acts like hes "emo" pain for pain.. blah blah

[RochesterHalfeld]

Hey...could you send me this mp3 file or a link to download it? It´such amazing!!!

Thank you!

[ugnialka]

this song is great!!! fuck off!!!

[ZO6]

this is not too bad

[oytothevey]

Oh my God. This is the worst cover ever. Why would they even think they could cover Bjork, especially this song. Absolutely horrible.

[mobmarli]

I think this one is better.. I heard this before Björk...Funny!

[bakamarluxia]

how do they dare to make a version of bjorks song???

i cannot believe it... this is disgusting

[SonneSonnet]

To tell the truth, Lauri has mentioned that Bjork was a role-model to him, I believe. He has a tattoo of her on his arm too. This song is alright by itself, but when they compare it to Bjork's passionate original, Bjork sweeps the floor with them. :]

[rearview2]

"the city of fear" is the best part of the hwole song, but he doesn't manage to performe the power that's needed...

[SuomiFreek666]

a good cover version. Better than from Björk.

[sleater84]

fucking serious, he cant even hit all the notes. I never understood y people try to cover her songs cos thy never can.

[VampireSeduction]

He tries too hard...

At first I had hope, but then as he started singing I was saddened.

He's trying to sound like a soft girl.

Too bad he can't.

Björk is better.

Just keep playing 'In The Shadows'

'Cause I like that song. :D

[men0vi]

I hate this. Poor Bjork :(

[Nympholita]

yes the original is better,but anyway i like this cover by my sweet lauri ^^

[y0u0nlylive0nce]

La hicieron mierda ¬¬

cero novedad, cero creatividad!!!

que le agregaron? más guitarras?

ES IGUAL LA CANCIÓN!

un cover es una versión nueva de una canción! ¬¬

MALA, MALA, MALA!

[plummad]

Bjork is etter. But if you want to here a good cover, that isn't yet on Youtube...although I may upload it... is

Play Dead, covered by, PAIN

[stareleades]

OMFG LOL

this is an embarresment to Bjork

[Ashketichu]

No.

[riiire]

Lauri lacks the emotions Bjork puts out in the song. You can really feel her emotions, Lauri tries but doesnt get there. bad cover.

[MaDaMeBiJoUxX]

amazing.. i love you Lauri:*

[Frogbogbogbog]

not bad but come on, nothing will beat bjork. he does not have the voice ability that bjork does. sorry. it's still good though :) .

[OzhiganovaDasha]

Bjork!!! I believe it's only her's song. Her version's so much better!!!!!!!!

[sw3eet666]

absolutely briliant

[matvilla57]

Hmmm. Not biggest fan of this version. Bjork's version is more beautiful. Still good tune and loving 'In the Shadows'

[XMustaXSusiX]

whoa

This is amazing

I love Björk's version but this is ever so slightly better

i think it's more to my 'style' lol

but Björk's version was still brilliant

[Insatiablehoney]

Love this song... Much better than Bjork.. But I do believe that is due to my addiction to Lauri's voice. I'm not too fond of Bjork.
