[DaniGoesWonderland]

[kiratina]

i love both bands

[Apacherosepeacock44]

haha they made this song epic

[wowlovely4]

hehe im a masive fan of the kooks

and i love this :)

with the cello and xylophone, love it.

[gymnastcutii19]

this is so cool! where did you get the video?

[CShayRay13]

I think it was sweet.

The music worked really well.

Idk though.. played this way, the lyrics just doesn't seem to fit.. haha

[Willshmarshmar]

i think the kooks should do some covers of 1R. thatd be sweet

[gvillabroza]

ooh yeah! thatd be super cool!

[naddiels]

i think it is really awesome! i love 1R, and ryan especially! the song is great! i love this vid!

[jharmzz]

the music in this is amazing

and that its still got that hip hop feel over all these happy violins and things

its wierd but it just works

but i have to admit i prefer the kooks singin

[anjaa00]

yeeah!.. onerepublic and kooks!! =DD 

love it! <3

[XxmerulexX]

i have to addmit it is pretty good, but nothing compared to the kooks, but good

the kooks <33

[Ketobbey]

nice cover! the Kooks didn't do a good job of their own tune in my eyes. But, it is good to hear it coverd so nicely! GOOD WORK!!!!!

[younghulligan]

people these days are ridiculous... "so and so did this so much better blah blah blah" "this is crap" " ruined the song" i hate that crap...has everyone forgotten that these songs are covers? not the original.. their version of the song... as long as its melodic and not out of tune and whatnot it should never be hated on. its music, music shouldnt be criticized unless it is horrible.

[ThatSecondDude]

good cover... but kooks did it way better

[GingaPlayer2]

of course because it's their song

[Ponyless]

no one can make the kooks are always gonna sound better!

[jimonten]

cello makes it sound amazing...without it i dont know...great cover anyway

[taiichi333]

I love OneRepublic!!! but i have to say that The Kooks Is alot better at this song. but its a sweet cover

[herecomeztrouble]

the cello sounds wicked

[sidewalkholdsdimonds]

cute :)

[ChloisJ]

good cover! love ryan tedder & Onerepublic! x

[Nicole4269]

I loooooove The Kooks so i think that its pretty cool a cover of this song =D

[Calla07]

aaaaaaaaaahhhhh how cool.

[terrythewizard1R]

i thought it was great they could hav killed it but of course they didnt haha luv these guys:)

[GiPsyGrL121]

AH!! I love this song and One Repubic doing a cover of it just make sit sooooo much better!

[Elicantstop31]

i like a lot The kooks

and i think they sing this song better.. but one republic are good too, i love them.

[lesleyfizzel]

Alright my opinon,I love the Kooks.But I think the kooks sing it better,my opinon.Even though onerepublic is kinda good.

[Jessica031192]

This is good

But the Kooks are better

This song belongs to the Kooks

[xcorxxxkooks]

in my opinion, it's a very good cover cos it's a difficult song to cover !!

bravo one republic !! but the kooks are still my favourite band !!

[erock8785]

I think this is an extremely difficult song to cover because of the voice you have to try to follow. Not bad though.

[mycatsnamesanton]

I think it's an interesting interpretation and the cello fits perfectly, but I've to admit I don't like the xylophone and ofcourse I prefer Luke's voice.

I know it's hard to play a cover version of a song without destroying the original, but they made it.

[bexyboo25]

ryan tedder has a brill voice love him and his band x

[surferslimit3]

SWEET!

[uberderstrasse]

cool cover! =)

[hujidikahjoe]

Arcade Fire inspired a tiny tiny tiny bit? I think so.

[maybmaybnot]

this is brilliant

love the song

and the kooks :)

[dskhfksdf]

I guess its good for what it is...I think that luke can sing his songs better, but that is because they are his songs, and he has the voice for it!! This song is great, but i don't know it geting sung by One Republic is just blahhhh

But I still love One Republic!!!!!!! And the Kooks are still my favorite band in the WORLD!!!!!

[BelowTheArtComesME]

its a good cover..

remember guys , its all acoustic!

cant get the power out of an acoustic guitar as out of an electric.

[aidenhlfc]

this isa very good cover from a very good band, ryan has an excellent voice. i cant wait till i see them in september

[uncl35am]

in my opinion..pretty good cover..but not as much energy as the kooks

[terrythewizard1R]

lol he doesnt hav as much energy cuz ryans left achilles tendon is torn thats y he is sittin usally he would be jumpin around..just lettin u know :)

[LizaAndTheKooks]

it's a good cover but never better than the kooks-version.

i think ONLY luke can sing kooks-songs :D

[laxgoalie5115]

they just cant do it like the kooks

[TheRanDomZeD]

loving their twist to this! i love the kooks

i love onerepublic

therefore its all love here x

[BlackingInn]

The Kooks...amazing band.

This song is awesome.

This is an amazing cover.

[idrees0304]

raah, I soo want that carbon fibre chello!

[IHeartOneRepublic]

ONEREPUBLIC IS BY FAR THE BEST BAND EVER!! I LOVE THEM!! AHHHH nice cover! Ryan has an Amazing voice! you should check out some of Ryans songs!

[rachieface76]

can't say this is the best cover I've ever heard, but I do love the cello.

[TimoGarance]

=)c cool

[DogEater316]

This was a pretty good cover, but the voice just doesnt match along with it. I guess I'm used to Luke's voice :)

Whoo! I love the background instruments!

[Floozzz6dark6angell]

I think it's a nice cover.. still I love the Kooks more..:)

[kiwi21girl]

His voice is amazing!

[mediageneration65]

Love the chello(it is a chello isnt it?)

Haven't taken anything away from the original very good cover. Made it their own. Kooks should be impressed.

[inkabow]

LOVE THIS! Excellent cover by OneRepublic :>

[Antfj]

It isn't the same without Luke's vocals...still a good job though I suppose :)

[Paschendale10]

for me the kooks version is better ;) but this is also great

[elteeelts]

The Kooks are great.

They are amazing and so as One Republic!

I love them both!

[BlackingInn]

1R is amazing

[sin8cos8]

frankly i think the both are doing a very good job and they are in two totally different way(style)

And please stop arguing for those kook's and 1R's fan the best way to protect and support you idol is not to bash at the others

i don't think the Kook or 1R would like to see us arguing

if we don't stop we are hurting both of them

and we are not a good fanz anymore

[R00G00]

i love how other band's fans come here and bash 1R just because their favorite band ain't doing so hot.

[TechnoNinjaa]

The Kooks Obv Dont Suck...

i Like The Originall, [:

x

[robslater90]

kooks suck, onerepublic, they are more creative.

[jiggumbob]

creative is an understatement. tedder has like 10 songs on the billboard hot 100 RIGHT NOW. check out his wikipedia, he's almost as big as timbaland in producing, he's working on kelly clarkson, beyonce, rihanna, jennifer hudson and a ton of other artists.

simon cowell and clive davis even HANDPICKED him to work on leona lewis's album. im sure you've heard of bleeding love. and he has a grammy nomination under his belt.

[robslater90]

kooks suck, onerepublic, they are more creattove.

[TIMPA921209]

you suck,

kooks are great and this was a great cover

[rofan]

i did;t like who song it before but love onerepublic singing it

[evilchickenclyde]

whatdivvy or w.e youre called .. you do as well as Ryan and sing tht song!! be4 you start makin comments

[Debaaserrr]

What havenolegs36 said was spot on. Unfortunately for you, whatadivvy, you've just made yourself sound like quite the tosser. And if you genuinely think The Kooks are the best band on Earth you can't really criticise others' music/covers, becuase you must listen to a load of shite yourself.

Anyway, great cover.

[whatadivvy]

this is a disgrace. ahh the kooks are the best band in the world.!!!.and this is just horrible...where are the do's?!? He doesn't even sing the right words!!!!! he sounds like a mountain goat..why the hell would he pick this song to cover...he needs to stick to stupid high pitched music. AND..the ending of this kills me...his voice sucks so bad. luke has the sexiest most unique voice..not this wanker. ..phew im done.

[R00G00]

whatadivvy, how would you know the 'right lyrics'? no one knows wtf what luke is saying in the original. in the original, he sounds like he doesnt even know how to talk and his voice, unique? like the 300 other indie frontmen in the UK? puh-leez we've heard all that before. sexy? yea if u can call spongebob's voice sexy too.

[robslater90]

how in your right mind can you say kooks are the best band in the world? they are jsut anohter pop/indie band. nothing special live either. they are ok thats all i give the kooks, onerepublic however amazing!

[kiwi21girl]

he has very strange voice and I like it - Ryan is perfect!

[ihavenolegs36]

i always like how when somebody far talented then you or me does a cover because they like the song you have all these idiots who are like I hate it and whatever. prolly with them playing it this song will become more popular...so thank you Onerepublic. Plus his voice is a lot better than the kooks singer, just the truth.

[R00G00]

agreed. not dissing or anything but on this version you can actually listen to the lyrics. at least to me, the vocals on the original were all over the place

[BloodieKittens]

hmm, i dont have trouble at all understanding the original.

[jhaake753]

the kooks was better although i really like the cello,

cant stand that guys voice

[Lieesa]

the sound doesn't really fit to the lyrics. I don' like it..no

[xtqz]

Well, it's an another way to play and i don't really like it... anyway

[waser123]

good music but the actual singing is diabolical! He sounds like a sheep. I dont think this type of music is good for his voice, at all.

[jiggumbob]

he has an RnB singer's voice. it just sounds wierd cuz he doesnt look like it

[andwhataboutme]

it's okay

i like the music with the cellos

but his voice is very strange, it shivers, don't really like that

[R00G00]

"i like this version over the kook's one" doesnt mean the kook's one was bad. it just means we prefer it because of our own personal tastes or we're just big 1R fans :P no reason to hate on any of the bands.

i prefer this one over the kook's one.

[jiggumbob]

lol i love this version. the kooks one sounds wierd to me...

[guaponxo]

this version is cool , i cant tell u wich one is better but i like both groups.

[curtisjones123]

im sorry but this is just awful

[thekookedgirl]

good, sounds different :D

[taliabatalia]

it's different than the original one, but NO way that this beats the original.

[lauratjee]

it sucks.

[marianalcf]

this guy's voice is nothing compared to luke... sorry, prefer the original by a 100

[SCandLP]

completely agree.

[lululo]

I prefer this version than the Kooks one, and usually the original is the best whatever, but This is amazing! The cello brings it all together i think, It rocks I LOVE ONE REPUBLIC!
