  • Don't like it at all. I usually like his songs, but this one is all over the place. Drives me crazy.

  • THIS SONG GETS ME SOOOOOO relaxed!!!!!

  • no ...thats not working for me...nice in its way but lacks that blues vibe that made it a classic.

  • This one sucks thw original is way way better

  • maroon 5 is awesome!!! oh and the tamborine adds a nice touch

  • absolute crap. Maroon 5 murdered it, sorry Bill!

  • wtf

  • Don't, just don't mess with this song....create something new.

  • yup-----you have talent......use it wisely !!

  • das geht ja gar nicht

  • who did it in the first place?

  • @LoulouS656 Bill Withers :)

  • suicide version, sorry!

  • hes hott as fuccccccck

  • adam you are so fuckin sexyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

  • ADAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • lovely :)))) love adam :)))

  • No way near as good as Bill's, but still it's okay.

  • Did he really just say "heavy"

    

  • not better then bill withers the real song just sayin :P

  • Great Version. They did Bill Withers Proud. 

  • i like it just not as much as the original its not quite got that tetley tea vibe haha

  • no way near as warming as the original. this version doesn't make me feel happy

  • 82 justin beiber fans here! HAHAHAHA

  • @VincentVexler he's dead...

  • @GFlipmx He´s not dead he just doesnt perform anymore

  • Very good! (Y)' 3

  • holy crap isnt that the guy who sings the song "Aint no sunshine"??? holy crap thaat song is old as dirt so how old is that guy now?

  • I hate that this is actually pretty good >:/.

  • this guy has his balls cut off thats why he has such kinda voice

  • its for a more gloomy morning where in some places u cant get anything better, where bill withers' is for a bright and strong morning. its not bad , more like a real morning for me if i were living their lives

  • Doesn't sound as happy as the original, which is ironic given the lyrics, but it's not bad at all. I can dig it.

  • you guys should just quit hating the song, maroon 5 has always had that kind of mellow style, i actually do really enjoy it its relaxing, stop bitching about how it's not like bill withers they made cover the song to their own style risking themselves to suit they're fans you like the old version so much dont fuckn watch, (excuse language u guys just gotta learn to appreciate diff types of music)

  • I like this version. It doesnt compete with Bill Withers', and he doesnt even try to hold a note for 18 seconds like Bill but I like the toned down, almost melancholic feel that Maroon 5 brought to this song. They didnt try to better the original, but put their own spin on it. Surely thats what a good cover song should be like!

  • I wrote my opinion, then read other comments, are ya'll crazy, this boy has more talent, then any of you could dream up, please give him break, seems like a humble, and loving brother, be open minded, and give him another chance, thanks !

  • He's very proud, meaning Bill, about what this young man, and how he handle this little song!!!

  • i kind of liked it

  • I guess they sang it this way because thats how they saw the song....nothing wrong with that. You dont have to like it. Wonder what Bill would think.....

  • Great Job!

  • dey r killin dis song. turn it off

    

  • i would have a lovely day shoving my size 11 boot up his ass for fucking this song like he did,

  • someone shut this dude up.

  • I just think that Adam and his band made it their own....did a nice job of arranging and of course Bill Withers version will always be the best and I am sure Maroon 5 knows that but it is all in interpretation and what the song means to Maroon 5.

  • poor bill, poor mick jagger, these hacks are ruining music legends.

  • to be frank i'm a big big fan of Maroon 5 .. but not this one. Originally bill weather's version is perfect !

  • this is terrible....

  • No offense to Adam Levine whose music I really enjoy, but he really makes this song boring. It's suppose to be a bit more kicky. I have to find something else now to wake me up. Oh! I know! The remix version.

  • wheres the funk?

  • I like the origal better :P People but i mean it. Like if you dont like this one

  • haha shitty cover big time.

  • too much attitude,not enough soul. dreary rendition. leave the classics alone. people rarely do them justice.

  • this is a really bad version, and plodding arrangement-kills the original lyricism of the song. listen to tierney sutton sing "you are my sunshine" and you will understand what i mean, you can get it on itunes and amazon.

  • Adam is a GREAT Singer, but unless you are tone deaf there is something wrong with this. The piano doesn't seem to be on the right key with Adam, or vice versa. It's one thing to sing Great, but damnit Harmonize

  • Bien, muy buena excelente.

  • Totally boring cover by a great band The pacing and arrangement just ruins an amazing song Really dreadful

  • AWESOME cover

  • Comment removed

  • @range yer still a douche ;)

  • This makes me cry to .. Lol I don't no why

  • this song makes me cry T_T

  • Me encanta esta version, la original es obviamente mejor, pero la voz de Adam me envuelve...

  • fucking great

    

  • I like it, I love Adam and Bill Withers. I also just like what the song stands for. It shows the influences that have inspired Adam's career I don't think he could have come across better. Bring back the old school teach these kids something. Makes me miss my daddy, this was one of his faves he would have loved to hear an artist from this generating covering this song.

  • THIS SUCKS!! BILL WITHERS FOR LIFE!!!!

  • just awful...sorry.

  • of course the original is Great that is why there are covers because the new artist "loves" the original song.............Go Adam :)

  • Great job! Lovely video.

  • I think this man is so fine, I love a man with tats

  • @23raynsc Would you still love him tatless?

  • i love this version. Adam has amazing vision. Right on with this one. Definitely one of the best I've heard of this song.

  • thanks for song i like it!!!

  • Bill Withers'song is wonderful, but the Maroon 5 version is incredible! Really really really nice

  • how to download this song??? lovely!!!

  • luv this version, its so laid back n chilled

  • @traslatesongs listemmn to the original, its a lot happier

  • the only bad thing about this song is the guy behind "lovely-lovely-lovely day" and i don't know the other version.. soo... Adam rocks to me like always! and thank you for this video! :)

  • I appreciate your efforts to make a video- nice work!

    This is an interesting version of the song. I am a fan of the original. However, this version is not too bad.

  • Actually, the vocalist sounds pretty good but besides Bill Withers singing what made Lovely Day such a great song was that funky bass guitar.  I think this would have been a great cover if they hadn't chose to leave that one very important element out of the song.

  • feat bill withers? FEAT BILL WITHERS? fuck you maroon five he feats you, you talentless cunts

  • @scalbard Maroon 5 are not talentless cunts. they rock:)

  • @scalbard Maroon 5 are not talentless cunts. they rock:)

  • Good performance, Great original and remake

  • I'd love to buy this version.

  • Loooove it.!!!-3

  • I just love this jewish group!

    ..they were so needed

  • I love you...

  • @politicszbitch As a huge fan of the original, I have to say that your characterization is a bit off to me. I agree that this version is not as "bright" as Bill Withers' rendition (which, by the way, isn't as "bright" as the version by The S.O.U.L. S.Y.S.T.E.M.), but it has an introspective tenderness to it that the original doesn't have. I think it is a gorgeous take on a classic song, and complements the original extremely well. Not very often that I can say that about covers. I'm impressed.

  • I like this version. Covers are sometimes better. The Beatles covers of old Rock n' Roll songs were waaay better than the originals for example, or did you really think that Twist n' Shout was an original Lennon-McCartney?

  • Woww! Awesome!

  • he ruined it

  • my wedding son :-)<3

  • 127 Hours ;)

  • I'm an original ol' schooler from the 60's, 70's, and 80's who just discovered this guy. I like him.

  • where can I download this?

  • love this version!

  • As big as a Maroon 5 fan I am, I'll admit that Adam didn't capture the joyful, upbeat essence of the original.

    What he did do was create a soothing, laid back vibe that I can't help feel would be perfect in a lounge with a martini in hand or quietly played in bed with that special someone during pillow talk =)

  • hey what album you got this I WANT IT!!!!

  • I liked the "Out of Eden" cover personally.

  • the original is better^_^

  • great version..i like it :)

  • love this smooth version as well as the original. great for being with your love & just chillin'

  • why have i never heard this until now?

  • 51 people are watching Rebecca Black sing

  • It is a very interesting cover of the song. I actually like it.

  • Nothing wrong with his version...it is great!!!!!!!!

  • I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE COME AND WE PUT THESE VIDEOS DO NOT LIKE THEM to hell

  • I like this version. Mellow like a cello. Very romantic and innocently sexy.

  • Why cant a talented artist cover a song without snobs saying how good the original is? Of course the original is better thats why this is a "cover" stop crapping on Adam Levine

  • @tyeman64

    agree with u with 100 % . Im tired of reading all the same ideas that the original is better. But I dont give a hoot, if they want to write comments let it happen..

  • @QeTuShaaa thank you for that comment.

  • @tyeman64 yea, you're right. but maroon 5's tone is so mellow and it kinda brings down a happy song.. i was hoping he'd hit that long note in the chorus hehe :) still a great cover.

  • @tyeman64 That's not why this is a cover. This is a cover because they recorded a song that isn't there. Don't use false definitions.

  • @rosiichanii I understand what a cover is. I also get why you are nitpicking at how I used the word. The original Lovely Day is a great song and Adam's version is in no direct competition as to win fan's over from the classic. The general notion by many of the comments is of such that this was a competition and that Bill is the victor. Fact remains this is a great take on Lovely Day.

  • @tyeman64 its not about it being better. It's wether the artist does the song justice, which in my opinion maroon 5 don't. It's not snobbery, just opinions. What do you think the comment section is for? Youtube wouldn't make a comment section for people just praising the video.

  • @tyeman64 While I still like the original version of this song, I also like this version...it's actually quite "lovely"...and I'm old enough to remember when the original Bill Withers version came out :)

  • @tyeman64

    @QeTuShaaa

    The original is still better

  • @muddyboyc AND your mom is still better than your sister :D

  • @tyeman64 Just because it's Adam Levine singing doesn't mean it's good also though, if you're going to do a cover... at least do a decent job. This is fucking terrible.

  • I like Adam Levine a lot, but sorry Bill Withers has this song on lockdown...it's missing some sort of 'soul' that Withers had.

  • @jgizzy To be honest.. No. Not at all..

  • love me some Adam Levine!!!

    

  • That was a lovely cover. Good job Maroon 5. :)

  • 127 hours

  • Lovely lovely version of this amaaaazing song!! Thanks for sharing!!! :)

  • @IreneGM543

    u r welcome :)

  • วันนี้เหรอ?

  • it is Lovely day cause I hear the voice of adam everyday n_n...xoxo

  • good very good but not even close to bill FUCKING withers

  • too slow version .for me  but i do think maroon 5 are a quite good band

  • no sunshine at all

  • Not a bad version but not Bill Withers original.

    And guys, it's  one look at you not choo!

  • nice!

  • Adam Levine, Voice of an angel !

  • wow...great

  • Copycater f you

  • sucks big time

  • i absolutely this version of this song. adam levine is so amazing and i fall in love with his voice everytime i hear it

  • nice song

  • I'm disappointed they left out that sexy bassline!

  • Bill Withers

  • DAMN U ADAM!!! ur voice makes me smile and so do this song, perfect!

  • Not bad at all

  • I listened to the original and I totally like this one better :/ Am I the only one here?

  • (this version) Bullshit...

  • Merph...I like Maroon 5 and I was excited to see this cover but they really didn't make it their own...Kudos to having Bill Withers on the track though.

  • The original version is a way better.

  • I love maroon, but why violating a great song ????

  • It has been a lovely day

    for 1800 walkers...

  • Beutiful :)

  • never fails to let me smile, every time i replay it =)

  • Theres no sunshine in this version of song

    bill withers we love you.

  • @politicszbitch Haha. I was thinking along those same lines. Bill Withers was great and nobody could do better on this song...Ever!

  • @Marsx4 damn ur ri8!! according 2 me dis version sucks no offence 2 maroon 5 fans......dis song z depressive and makes me sleep!!

  • You turned one of my favorite songs into something very depressing. This is terrible!

  • @Ludiak I think it's more calm than depressing

  • I love Adam but this song is supposed to be a joyful song and adam made it into a depressed version. Nonetheless, Adam is just paying a tribute to such a great song.

  • How beautiful that Kori Withers, Bill's INCREDIBLY talented daughter, can be heard on the chorus. LovelyKori, LovelyKori, Love-layKori!

  • where can I get this - can't find on iTunes -- thanks

  • Adam Levine's voice just fit the track so good!

  • The voice calm me down.

  • Loved this song when my mom played it as hope when I was eight years old. Maroon 5 gives a contemporary spin on a song that is nothing but hope. Whatever it takes to get the best of what we were to the next generation. Smiles and hope never get old, people.

  • I fucking hate his voice!...so annoying ! ruined a classic for me...sorry folks, this is garbage.

  • @shootsbraw

    Yeah, he didn't actually bring anything to the song...No one needs half-assed Maroon 5 covers of Bill Withers or anyone elses music.

  • Comment removed

  • like this nicely calm version better than other remix, thanks!

  • touching...

  • epic fail

  • It's a nice cover, but it can't touch the original. I don't know anything about Maroon 5 and their sound, but the reason they're getting crap is probably because they're popular, especially with the ladies. People can be so defensive about their music these days it actually works against their humanity for each other. Music is a gift.

  • maroon5 SUX big time , they totally screwed the song !!!

    maroon5 = FAIL

  • @gatecrashergarner8 I think their first album is an incredible pop record. Unfortunately the rest of their catalog doesn't hold up.

  • OMGosh... This is totally TIGHT!!! This tells me that good music will inspire any generation!

  • He can't hold the note for 30 secs like Withers can.
