  • I love this song and her cover of it...... if you don't, don't listen. She is a pure talent!! Period!!

  • Christ, she sings like she has cum in her mouth. Terrible.

  • She is an Aussie covering another great Aussie bands song....under the milky way - The Church...just get over it

  • @rob3934 She sounds like a pom.

    Original is way better anyway. It's just the spooky, mysterious voice of steve that makes the song have a better sound and mood.

  • I agree with the person who said, "SHe butchers this" because she does. Another woman who wants so badly to be an artist but just doesnt have the talent to back up that dream. Its not enough to just have a different voice and tone, you have to have talent and an ear for melody and feel. Good try but it doesnt move me. Blah blah blah

  • @baronsting I don't love her cover of this particular song but Sia is definitely an artist. She has a incredible voice! Just listen to any of her work with Zero 7 or her solo albums. How can you not love 'Breathe Me'??

  • @baronsting you are so fucking wrong. i can't even be bothered to be specific, but you're just so so wrong and sexist and pretentious and urgh. please die.

  • @baronsting Sia is actually an amazing artist. I agree, this is a bad choice of cover and doesn't suit her but your blatant disregard for her talent (search Zero 7 and her independent stuff) represents you as a bit of a bigot. Sorry mate.

  • She butchers this

  • This video doesnt have good sound quality try another one for a better experience.

  • Quit Comparing the versions...both are awesome! DUH! Yeesh!

  • A beautiful version : )

  • What's the point of making a cover such as this that merely attempts to approach the original?

  • i like this version better actually. the original is kind of emotionless. i'm not trying to rage anyone.

  • @Mrkti Hi, I'm not enraged by your perspective, just a little perplexed that you don't hear the emotion. Maybe bcos it was recorded in the 80's, when we were surrounded by over-produced music. 1 way of showing emotion in a ballad back then, was stripping it back (this one still like the starry night) - different from the thousands of power ballads around at the time, to hear the subtle changes in the voice - the vast ranging R&B vocal ad-libs we now hear in mainstream weren't heard then. :-)

  • @melvinjo68 interesting point. i'll search for these subtle changes, the next time i hear the original.

  • this is fuking horrible!!!!

  • I think it depends on which one you heard 1st but I seriously doubt most would like Sia's version better. The church is hands down the best.  Sia's version is too happy.

  • Love this way more than the original for some reason, probably the surreal music in the background.

  • she kinda covered it for the sake of covering. didnt really add much to it.

  • this version isn't church as one of the associates of jesse pinkman would say, bitch..

  • Una buena cancion arruinada.

  • oh boy. ... i like this girl... : )

  • Kill Hannah's version kicks this version ass. Sorry, has to be said.

  • @lightssmith all right, i'll go listen to their version too, but i suspect that all it is, is just different, as apposed to being better. because i just stummbled upon this, and i like this girls voice, i wanna hear more by her. and if you listen to this very closely, you'll hear she's got all kinds of stuff going on in this song that just sends you away to the milky way.....

  • sounds great but after listen church... damn , church r awesome . who is orig ???

  • Well done..both versions are great

  • The original (The Church) version is one of my all time favorite songs. I like this version also for some reason. I like the ethereal music in the background.

  • It's like trying to find a boy, girl version, my fav the church, however sia brings it.

  • crap compared with church's version

  • @Ja14111948 Fanbois like you need to go back to jacking off over pics of the church

  • Hmmmmmmm ... I only looked in in this version out of curiosity.

    The Church set the standard and it is their old production others are measured against. 4/10 for this...Sorry babe... over produced makes for a big minus element to this cover... some minus for the limited vocal range.

    You MUST feel for what the song MEANS to sing it from the soul.

    Sadly, that seems to be wanting here. :-(

  • totally hot version of this song <3

  • What feel ...with many layers. BRAVO!

  • The original is sooooooo much better. I don't think anyone can do a better job than the Church. The mood and incredible sounds created by the band are unique.

  • @KRW1612 agreed with this KRW, The haunting quality of the original can't be duplicated but it was valiant to try it out lol...

  • Church is soo much better, what is this ?

  • Check out the recent cover by Sugarwall. It kicks ass on this and the original!!

  • after a long way to find, I FOUND! i heard on Greek, and it WAS in a FANTASTIC SCENE!

  • love it. heard it on greek :)

    a great valentine's day song right?

  • like this if you heard this song when cappie was being all sweet to casey <3

  • Heard it on Greek!Cappie and Casey are so cute in that scene <3

  • @Mirtillina92 Me to I wish the show wouldn't have ended. I would like to see more of those two.

  • They are BOTH GREAT!

  • Forget the comparisons with the Church, 2 fabulous renditions of a great song.

  • If the original is better than this then it must be one incredible song. Going to listen to it now.

    PS: I love Sia. <3

  • you guys need to check out Conjure One

    

  • This one is good but The Church's version is better.

  • I love Sia... met her... way back before she was big... when she started with zero 7 loved them and love her solo stuff too...

  • its beautiful when females sing, it marry me please

  • its beautiful when females sing it

  • Maybe I'm a little biased as I'm a Sia fan but I LOVE this cover! I'm very familiar with the original song by The Church but Sia sings with more feeling IMO.

  • This is awful........she has butchered an Aussie classic

  • I always loved this song on the commercail. Then I heard her My Love from Eclipse. Then I fell in love with that song. And it's crazy that I'm just now finding out what else she sings.

  • @Aubree617 I started listening to her back from her days with Zero7. Check her out, Sia is absolutely amazing!

  • I LOVE all of the cool sound effects added into the background. Sometimes it just sends chills if you listen with earphones <3

  • This version is superior to The Church's. I think people like to side with originals simply because they are originals. The effects, jazzy tones, and Sia's voice, add something more to the song.

  • @BeanKroc Yeah but what the hey, they are all Australians sharing a superb Aussie classic with the rest of the world.

  • Non ci posso credere.. non sapevo l'avesse cantata. La mia canzone preferita e la mia cantante preferita.

  • Honestly, the way Sia sings this song ruins it for me. Check out Tearwave's cover, it's my personal favourite, although I do love The Church.

  • meh church is much better

  • This song is very hard to sing, I think she did a great job. Congrats!

  • This version is awesome, but I'm partial to the original. It had this hollow sound that kind of made more sense.

  • People are quick to defend the original version of a song. I understand why they do. But having listened to both Sia and The Church's versions....I'm going to have to side with Sia. Her voice and the effects are a slight improvement.

  • one of the BEST 80's songs ever ,but yes the church version is just a little better

  • one of the BEST 80's songs ever ,but yes the church version is just a little better

  • Another classic ruined

  • nice cover of a classic.

  • Sounds horrible comparing to the original.

  • Go to iTunes or Amazon and sample all the various covers of this song---some of them are other-worldly beautiful. I downloaded about twelve covers and play them back to back all the time and never get tired of hearing them.

  • i like the dear and departed's version :)

  • She makes the song her own. That's the mark and sound of a good cover.

  • I like kill hannah's version

  • coheed cover is better

  • beautiful song.

  • If you don't like this version of the song you should immediately drive yourself to the hospital. They're having a special this weekend on removing people's heads from their asses.

  • You people are nuts... Sure her singing isn't quite as good, but what about, oh I dunno... Everything else?

  • @DietSoap3 wat are u tlkinn da bitch is ugly !!

  • @oscar2034 I meant the rest of the song without her singing.

    

  • orig is better

  • @xlxexcxlxaxixrx always.... the original is almost always better.

  • @xlxexcxlxaxixrx Then why are you here, dickhead?

  • Comment removed

  • @xlxexcxlxaxixrx but it's still covered good

  • Yeah Lincoln gets good music for their ads!

  • what is this genre called

  • @buffering159

    This is known as "ruin the original" genre.

  • I like Sia. This is a good version.

  • i lovee this song(:

  • feels like a daydream ;)

  • cursie you are so right, it has everything the near perfect song has for me for every mood.

  • this song was written while on acid.

  • i like this version better maybe cuz im 13 but u know i like the new this is my opinion.

  • Who the @&*% is Sia?

  • This version is NOT even close to being as good as The Church.. I can't believe some people have actually said her version is better. Her voice and how she sings just doesn't suit this song at all. I don't get the peaceful, nighttime feeling with this version.

  • @geminigiirly Agreed.

  • omg I had no idea this was Sia....

    really Sia? for a car commercial? & this version is pretty blah, not like her at all

  • Excellent version. thanks

  • It is unfair to compare this song to the Church's version, they are both beautiful in their own right.

    That said, I do love their version better, but Sia's version is great, too.

  • @blueefficacy Yeah, I think you can actually compare them because umm they are like the same song. With The Church's there is no comparison but if it gets makes people aware of one of the most underrated bands of the 90s then that's a good thing.

  • @Jobaby66 Actually, this song was from 1988. The Church has a lot of success and a huge following, but this was their only US hit.

  • @Jobaby66 they did some great stuff in the 80's also such as the original version of this tune

  • I was looking for the Church then I saw this shit! it's so bad. Horrible.

  • @suckonthisyo I have to agree. I like Sia and all, but her version of this song isn't that great

  • This lady sounds like she sings through her nose. She needs to stop Whining...thats what she sounds like LMAO she sucks.

  • This cheap karoake artist would'nt even make it through preauditions for

    american idol and whoever hired her for the lincoln commercial is an idiot.

    Her english is terrible singing and the song is destroyed for all rendered.

    and the lead guitar solo in the middle sounds like a cat in heat.Where is Simon Cowell to tell her she and the song are a trainwreck...nuff said

  • @mca7777744 I think it's funny you use american idol as the bar set for talent. says a lot.

  • @300adam300 your right, sorry i meant a reject for THE GONG SHOW.

  • I actually like Sia's version better than the Church's version.

  • @Samielle1 thats because you suck too.

  • @suckonthisyo No matter what you say, her version still sounds better than the original.

  • @Samielle1 No chance in hell.

  • Obviously there is a chance in heaven is I say I like her singing better than the original.  Get over it.

  • LIke the song. Its very peaceful. I like that Lincoln commercial with it too!

  • And if shelby is listening to this song like I told her to shell agree with me, right

  • And if shelby is listening to this song like I told her to shell agree with me, right

  • awesome song flat out amazing

  • when i first herd the commercial all i could think was "god sounds familure" then later that night it came on again and it hit me it was sia then i fell in love with this song <3 she is awesome

  • great vocals!!!

  • The sound kind of reminds me a little of Zero 7, Destiny. Just a little.

  • Good call tommykabby, Sia did sing for Zero 7.

  • what makes u think i'm interested in your negativity? i like the song, i like sia, as a matter of fact, thanks for bringing me back to this page, i hadn't listened in a while...i'm listening right now, and enjoying it immensely...does that rile you? good now go play in the traffic negatron...

  • oh thats just AWESOME right there :)

    + effing one for being the better man.

  • Uhm Hello> It is ruined! This cover really does the Church a disservice! They are one of the greatest space rock bands of all time.

  • Oh what a hack job on such a classic song So sad! The best cover version of this song is by the ps22 chorus> check it out it puts this crap to shame!

  • she should be remaking Sade songs..terrible a big thumbs down.

  • I love how all the people with actual sense are being massively thumbed down by oversensitive teeny boppers. Screw you idiots and this nobody singer who decided on screwing up an 80s indie classic to draw an audience. She should stick to the manufactured trash like Christina Aguilera she finds so worthy of collaborating with, and stay away from real music.

  • Great song.

    (I also like the font of the title, its so cute!

    Anyone knows whats it named? lol ^^

  • This doesn't rival with the original by the songwriters: The Church. Kudos to those who actually wrote this timeless piece of music. Check out The Church, Sad Lovers and Giants, The Chameleons, and all 80's band that made existential ethereal rock with aquatic guitars and the like...

  • Fans of this kind of nonsense would get nothing out of listening to classic bands like these, hence their childishly sensitive reactions toward people here who prefer the artists who actually penned the song over this pretentious "diva"'s.

  • She sounds a lot like Nadia Ali....I dig it!!!

  • ew. the original is sooooooooo much better. what is wrong with her vioce? she ruined this song. the church created this song and made it spectacular but this version ew just ew.

  • Brilliant remake of a soulful song. When Sia sings it, the heart of this song is truly felt.

  • Maybe to you since you didn't even know there was an earlier version of the song until you looked on the internet.

  • sorry but what an complete piece of rubish

  • hypnotic.

  • I love this song. It's really great son. Way Sia!!!

  • I loved this song once I heard it off of the commercial. I love it so much and her voice is awesome!! :P

  • same here

  • I love her version it is so relaxing

  • her version is better

  • huns24

    her version is better than what?

  • @dalmanation the church's version, which is the original obviously. But i must say, I like this one better :)

  • If you think this version is better than the church then I would be very scared to know what other artists you like> sorry but this does not even come remotely close to the church!

  • the original version is from The Church.

    Much bette, although this one is good.

  • I agree with you totally.

  • This guitar solo's like a rare gem of audio, so few artists are grasping the awesomeness of a solo such as this.

  • Love her voice and sense of humor.

  • love your version of this song!!!

  • The Church

  • Geez, I fell for this song with the lincoln commercial. xD It's beautiful <3

  • ME TOO!!!

  • @Cursie15 you should pick up "Starfish" by The Church; they were the ones who originally penned it along with other great hits!

  • Looks as if she needed to see a dentist.

  • Hahahahah @ Whop. That had me rollin.

    But this song is pretty sick. Heard it on the Lincoln commercial and I had to find it. The beat is so laid back. Something to cruise to...

  • her version is amazing.

  • it is the church, love her version!!!

  • I love this song. Its so soulful!

  • Amazing singer. Timeless song. Hope she performs this on her 2010 tour.

  • this song is sooo pretty and it makes me sleepy

  • wow! a very stunning remake of this song, indeed! +_+

  • The Church; believe they're Australian

  • The Church I think

  • Kill Hannah covers this song too. I love their version as well as this one.

  • nice

  • i love both versions. i wish this one was a tad slower tho. other than that its great. she has an amazing voice.

  • I know nothing about this artist but I love this song.

  • this is beautiful; so strange to have loved the original all those yrs ago and now this haunting song brought to today by this young singer...

  • I love Sias music.

  • Just saw the commercial today , after the football game ... niece song .

  • i love this car commercial and this song too, saw this at the movies when i saw 2012
