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
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 !
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.....
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.
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.
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
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.
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! :)
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.
@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?
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 =)
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
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..
@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.
@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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Don't like it at all. I usually like his songs, but this one is all over the place. Drives me crazy.
