I remember one of my first concerts where better than Ezra, I was front and center and they are soo amazing! I didn't sleep for 2 days after than because I was still so excited! :)
i only looked this up because taylor swift apparently did a cover of it and i wanted to find out who sang it.if it werent for taylor swift i would have NEVER heard of these amazing people,im sorry to say i like taylor swift better,and im a huge fan of her and her music,but i have to say,these guys are awesome.
@sk8ergtrst yeah me too, i was listening to their song breathless w/c taylor did a cover too and saw this one and thought that taylor also has a song w/ d same title and i found out that better than ezra is the original singer but for me taylor's version is better. ;)
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Can someone post the Our Last Night version that once was on Youtube with scenes from the movie, "Mattilde: A Very Long Engagement" it seems like it's been removed.
Is there any truth to an Oak Grove, Louisiana conection for one of these guys? I used to live there and several people swore by it. Said it was Kevin but you know rumours...the tale grow taller on down the line.
This group has been consistently awesome since they came out with Deluxe. I've seen them several times and they are great guys-- all of them-- take the time to talk to the fans and autographed all my CD's. Kevin is one of the greatest songwriters of my generation. BTE RULES!!
Agreed coolman. BTE has been awesome for a long time. I've always said if their record label didn't go bankrupt after 9/11, stopping them from having any singles off Closer after Extra Ordinary (forgive me if I don't have that story 100% right) they'd be playing much bigger venues than they are right now. But that's fine by me, I can't wait to see them at the Trocadero in Philly next month!
i'm so sick of people who are too ignorant to know that some bands have existed for longer than their local radio station has overplayed the bands latest hit...
coolman, I'm glad to see there are still some true fans of this great band. You hit it on the head saying that they are one of the great bands of the past 20 years. Kevin Griffin and BTE are probably the most underappreciated band over that time too. They put out consistently great music with each cd they put out and am looking forward to buying their newest that came out today.
I don't know anything about Taylor Swift, except that she must have great taste in music. This is one of the great bands of the past 20 years. BUY ALL OF THEIR MUSIC. See them live in concert. They have been touring for a very long time and put on an amazing show. I'm glad that Taylor Swift was able to introduce younger listeners to this awesome band. Someone posted here that he sounds like Bono. He's BETTER than Bono. Tremendous range and authentic passion.
ok im going to commend taylor swift for making a cover of this song as it is a great song and she is a great singer ALTHOUGH there is something missing in her version; she cannot put the feeling into it that Griffin does. its just like iris by the goo goo dolls. soo many people have made a cover of it but noone can possibly sing it like rzeznik
ok first of all taylor swift is good and everything, but Better Than Ezra is so much better because there is so much soul in his voice! No one can sing this song better than them.
I agree with what you're saying. Taylor Swift could never know the true meaning behind this song. I remember when i first heard them i was a young kid but i'm going on 20 and i still love them as if they just came out.
okay, taylor was good. but BTE wrote it and the emotion comes through better with them (especially in concert). but to say either one of them sang it poorly, well, you gotta be an idiot that probably thinks you could make it on idol.
Ok, just because you and Taylor Swift are close to the same age doesn't mean she is talented. In fact, her lyrics are trash and her voice is the same as every other female pop star. The song was ORIGINALLY done by BTE. The song is bad when he sings it? Maybe you didn't hear her version. You did? Oh that's right, you're as dumb as your name... Awesometurtle17? Let me guess, you want people to think you're 17, but you're actually 14.. Nice...
Uhm. Taylor Swift does SUCH a better job singing this song... I mean, I first heard it sung by her, and I thought Better than Ezra would be... a girl... this definitly isn't a song for a guy to sing and Taylor Swift is a better singer to begin with... This is really bad when he sings it. Sorry to anyone that offended.. But WOW.. That was really crappy. Ew. Gross.
my favourite band of all times. Its a shame nobody knows them in Spain, but hey, that can be good news too because in Spain most people just like crappy music.
thankyou taylor for discovering them for me (A)
