Biffy Clyro - Umbrella cover

[claude081]

i know this song is on radios 1 live lounge album volume 2 but does anyone know if its on one of his own albums ta!

[GreendayAreSxcDotCom]

Oh, Simon ♥ Why are you so perfect ?

[MialinneaM]

this is great!!!

[MissNothing09]

I enjoy listening to this much more than the origional!!!!!! Biffy<3 xx

[BlondeRocknRoll]

oh, remember the first time i heard this, blew me away..still bloody does..

[TheTobysoob]

this is sick!!!!!

[4ndreaCZ]

Good, but best cover of Rihanna´s Umbrella has Manic Street Preachers I think :-)

[courtneytanisauld]

Far better than the original! Seeing them this month in el glasgow! cannot wait.

[courtneytanisauld]

Far, far better than the original. Aboslutely love it!

[MikeyZozo]

This is proof that there are loads of crappy pop songs out there that could be re-arranged in to something brilliant like this

[tombola1990]

I love their covers...

[Glitznglamax]

Yes spam it meant something, You say that you did nothing wrong to me yet you wished me dead on facebook...

will always be ya mum even though you replaced me

[MsChainsaw1]

hahahaha wow thats wicked weird

[tomjackism]

the original of this song was crap but this version is amazing, the manic street preachers version is also brilliant, listen to it :D

[CallMeElenaGilbert]

This makes the song actually... poetic. :] So much better than the origional.

[samehereno1]

this is amazing,but anything that biffy clyro does is amazing :D

[ROCKONplaceboforever]

MON THE BIFF LUV IT GREAT COVER!!

[TheDonRobinson91]

absolutley brilliant, yeah i agree there is alot of people who cover this... but non of them cover it like the biff. 5 stars all the way

[superbford]

This shows how good this song could have been without all the electronic crap of the first song... well of course and the stupid concept of the lyrics.

[xavdude]

Wooow.

Made the hairs stand up on end :o

[ArseBags]

You just lost.

[30Seconds2MarsLove]

Whoa ! i love this cover,, so many people have done a cover of this song, but this one sounds like an acoustic sound. I love it (:

[munkyass911]

Mon the BIFF

[bexsterhalo3]

omg love it !!!!

[extrapreneur]

it worked well on the malaysian F1 highlights

[TinytotOx]

Good version :)

[pandabaaaer]

i could never listen to her version of the song but i guess i changed my mind just now. i love theirs!

[Vagabundxxl]

now that its raining more than ever hahahahaha

[andydaskater]

i prefer biffys version

[showjumpergirl007]

i love version better than Rihanna's. its WAY better

[lost0in0time]

great version. i don't like the original, but vanilla sky's and biffy's versions are awesome! :D :D :D

[AngryNintendoSegaFan]

They come from my hometown :)

I KNEW THE SINGER

[TehCallan]

this has more emotion in it, wich i love because the lyrics werent put to good use with rhianna she's consumed with the pop culture wich is just a waste of talent, finally someone found a use for it

[PUNKSMB]

Feels like these guys really means what they´re singing, three mates that've been playing together since they were sixteen. Love this version. Powerful shit, and the voice of Simon Neil makes me fucking cry. Awesome.

[Roxy1995Luvr]

All Time Low does the best version EVEEEER!! it beats all of them...plain white T's,Biffy,Linkin Park,Vanilla Sky,OneRupublic...

[GaryLeeMcKinney]

I'm a huge Biffy fan, but The Manics do a much better cover of this song.

[d3athman13]

Its a good lyric, but Rihanna's version is shit, and this is decent

[AlleyBalloon]

this version is so much better if you like rock better than pop, like me XD

[micromini007]

beau.ti.ful

[JemGC20]

This is such a better version - Rihanna's version sucks, you can't even hear the words when she sings it - too much hollywood editing crap.

[pudboy123456]

Totally - more heartfelt

[jesslovesbasshunter]

ILOVEJAMESWHEELER

[gokuzula]

i love you too x

[Adam0209M]

The only reason Biffy Clyro did a cover of this song, is because Rihanna top them in the charts... therefore they said they'd do a cover for a laugh!!!!! lol... so whoever bad mouths Biffy, should be shot :)

[Linear500]

agree with you markmason

[falluire]

nice!!

[PJPH16]

jay-z make it i think too, but biffy clyro's version is sooooooooooo much better !

jay-z rules,

biffy clyro too !

[Lewis31A]

mch better than the original

[chester8258082580]

wow really ?

[mychemfan250]

booooo

[Hektorina]

I really like this version, they made it a really nice song.

[HowardAshton]

this sucks

the all time low cover and the rihanna origional are awesome

[Romayy0]

Sounds very average to be honest an I'm a big fan of Biffy...

[Jaimiexoxo5]

sucked.i hated it

[rockluver510]

is soooo much beter than orig.

totaly agree wiv casr2

is 1 of th best covers iv ever herd!!

LUV IT!!

[perpitbla5]

How many people have covered this song now?

[bexter28]

and how many were better than the original?

pretty much every single one.

doesnt say much for rihanna does it! lol

although i actually heard britany spears wrote it, or was at least meant to sing it

[elvenluna]

I can't remember who wrote it but I thought it was a guy.

[tranx13]

Jay-Z wrote it, I think, with the intention of having Britney Spears perform it, but given her state over the past few months and years, she was replaced by Rihanna.

Good move, I think, as I don't think that Britney's release would have been as weel received...

[isvara]

It really is a pretty decent song, and I think it would have done Britney a lot of good if she'd done it. All of her post-going-mental songs are dull and forgettable.

[tranx13]

Mmm, I agree with you that Britney's "post-going-mental" songs are dull and forgettable, but that may be less of a statement about the songs, and more of a statement about her as a performer. I think that she's had her run, and she doesn't have the energy to perform well, and to entice people into enjoying her newer songs.

[01cravend]

it was written by the dream and a rapper called tricky

the dream also wrote j.holidays bed originally intended for chris brown

[muzakdeezign]

The song is written by Terius Nash (aka The Dream), Christopher Stewart (aka Tricky), and Kuk Harrell.

[InaZeaAnaZazi]

jay z wrote it i think ... and .... i think rihanna does quite well, i have heard worse music

[neonom1024]

jay z didn't write it. a producer named christopher "tricky" stewart wrote it with the help of producer "the dream"

[casr2]

never look back!, biffy shuda sung this in the 1st place!, rihanna? whos that? ;p

[PerfectChloe]

Biffy Clyro have proved this is a lovely song.

I think it sounds a bit stupid when Rihanna sings it really.

[XbleedingXcinderella]

I love how this is possibly one of the only songs that has been covered by so many different artists and bands.

It's a bloody brilliant song as well.

[RufusRamen]

This covers are so messed up but really good.

During the Killers cover (who I dont even like) I thought I heard laughing from the singer.

[77Eilidh77]

way better

[e1527m]

I hate Rihannas version but Biffy Clyro makes this a really sweet song :)

[hydey777]

I really love both versions.

Except for when Manic Street Preachers covered it

[wowshebetica]

be..be.. better than rihanna!!!!!

did i read right?????

anyways..jajja... vanilla sky did a good cover.. check it out

[Georgeofthejungle09]

that song sucks but..

biffy made it much better than the orginal

biffy clyro much better than rihanna!

[oohshakeit]

just what i was thinking

[chainsawdude01]

Same Here

[alias609]

why do you think so many people cover this song because it isn't because it sucks. it's probably because it is one of the best songs of the past 50 years.

[frostyoriginal]

50 YEARS!!!!! A time period that covers bands such as The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, Aerosmith, Red Hot Chili Peppers, MICHAEL JACKSON, Ray Charles, James Brown, RATM, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Oasis, Blur, Pulp, FEEDER! :s, Madonna, REM, Nirvana, Guns 'n' Roses, Jonny Cash, Queen, Ramones, Bob Marley, Prince, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Aretha Franklin, Prodigy!

these bands and more have produced many songs that are, in my opinion at least, far better than "umbrella".

[alias609]

i detect more than a bit of pretentiousness in the artists you named. umbrella is a fantastic song - plain and simple, it's just a shame that because it was released in the last five years and not by a rock band many people don't get that.

[amazingidiot]

lol its a good song but its not a great song

the bands in frostyorgininal's lists have created much much more techniqueally gifted songs. There for instance is no way to can claim this song is anywhere near as good as bohemian rhapsody or however you spell it. lol

[bouncylj]

plain and simple does not equal greatness, in fact thats teh antithesis of greatness, a fantastic time defying song needs somthing specail umbrella is good and it does have somthing, i dont think it will span a long time making rhianna a famous brilliant artist up there with hendrix the beatles and nirvana other such bands

[Nislam]

they sound better than rihanna

[CrystalCastles101]

Simmon Lived just down the street from me when i was younger then i moved away =[

These Guys are soo awesome , i'd say this is one of maybe thee greatest cover done , they have done awesome with it MON THE BIFFY!!!!!

[maramcbride]

Who the hell is Biffy Clyro????

[sexybabestoney]

what?

[54redstreetman]

idiot...

[maramcbride]

whoa there! its not like I said they were bad, I just had absolutely no idea who they were... whats with all the negitivity? Seriously people, why do you care so much that I dont know the band? They rocked the song, thats all that metters. Sheesh...

[maramcbride]

matters*

[54redstreetman]

okay i shouldnt have been so negative sorry.

(Late apoligie or what:-P)

[FREDDO2K7]

its a scottish band with heaps of talent unlike most of the bands nowadays.

MON THE BIFFY!!!!

[maramcbride]

Thanks for being nice to me about it. No one else answered the question, they just gave me the thumbs down. I was serious.. I wanted to know who they were, but theyre really good...

[FunBunMan]
