  • This is probably the only Crowded House cover I like, I've listened to many others, all shit, but this, this is brilliant, and they got some stupid little bitch on Young Talent Time butchering Don't Dream It's Over... :(

  • 25 people have remained standing

  • can't believe people can't believe people have a different opinion.

  • did you go to knox??

  • LOVELOVELOVE that's all that's running through my brain

  • awful....the most overrated band in Aust....cant stand them

    

  • @TheReefinn WAnker! where's all yo songs in hottest 100.

  • @Timmahhh86 ...some of the songs I like are in the hottest 100....i just dont like this boring as hell band...and dood im not a wanker cos I dont like soft run of the mill stuff

  • @TheReefinn they're not boring. Give rabbit song or mexican mavis a listen and you'll see that.

  • @TheReefinn best band from australia's tame impala

  • epic epic epic

    

  • Think I prefer Blunt's version too but still a top tune!!! We need to get over to the UK asap.

  • this is good but i like james blunt's cover better

  • Amazing at BDO!

  • stop using the word epic! its good dont get me wrong , but that fucking term is thrown around way too loosely these days!

  • Not sure it's better than the original, but it's damn awesome in it's own right!

  • @inexorableveracity sarcasm? rest of the song?

  • Wow I just heard about this cover from a friend. That's epic.

  • I wish this was just the banjo. Maybe the vocals. I don't really like the rest of the song.

  • Can't believe people saying this is better than the original.. It is a tribute. The artists on the album were not aiming for better but to offer their respect for genius. Please respect their intention without turning their efforts into a competition?

  • The singer sounds like Jon Lajoie..

  • so much better than the original..

  • I'm sorry I'm just going to say this!

    So much better than the original, for me that is. I think this suits the song better.

  • Seeing this live at Pyramid Rock was probably number one moment of my life.

  • @wildozerful  i was there too, it was unbelievable dark and moving. this and cruel guradslive were the best moments of pyramid

  • This video went viral on Copenhagen

  • @TheKeyb0ard94 soooo you spend like 5 minutes on a calculator just to be a smart ass and not say how awesome this song is WTF

  • better

    

  • man you really have to love this song that's the 22 dislikes and if you Don't then you suck

  • perfect.

  • just simply beautiful <3

  • Well I listen to Heavy/Death/Thrash Metal all the like. But I can stop and still listen to this. :)

  • I think over 30,000 of these views were mine.

  • @TheMarvelousLewis so you spent 35.5 years of your life listening to this song?

  • WOW

  • They were pretty brave to touch Crowded House, and I think they did an excellent job! The vocal harmonies these guys create are just amazing, not just in this song but all of their music. If you don't know Boy and Bear's music then check them out!

  • Wow! Love the Clare Bowditch cover too

  • This is amazing!! boy and bear are soo good

    

  • this song is truly beautiful such an amazing voice

  • I remember watching this in the first 500 views, now here I still am 575,000 views later.

  • @SammyLyo Hi Sam :) Still got good taste in tunes I see :P

  • @gypsyandcat My good taste will never leave! I actually saw them play this song today at Big Day Out! HOW AWESOME :D It made me so happy. They played this so amazingly.

  • @SammyLyo yourr sewww indie

  • @SammyLyo YOu need some kind of medal.... a shiny one..... that says "i'm a clever boy".

  • totally deserved the Aria good work

  • soooooo amazing

  • This is soooooooo Good congrats on the ARIA!!

  • Yewww congrats to Boy & Bear for all the well deserved ARIA's won tonight!!! <3

    You guys were amazing at Foreshore yesterday!! :D

  • THEY GOT AN ARIA AWARD YEEEEE :D

  • This music is genius. I love it :]

  • Saw them play it live last night. I was AMAZING!

  • better that the original, i love boy & bear!

  • @indiarose95 sorry, nothing beat's the original.

  • Anything to do with Crowded House gets my seal of approval.

  • My.New.Found.Addiction<3

  • I think Boy & Bear are quickly becoming one of my new favorite bands!

  • How can you dislike this ??? This is one of my all time favourite songs, fantastic version love it :) thanks for sharing :))

  • I prefer the original

  • @RoganM2 your mum prefers the original.

  • 1 like or is it just my phone?

  • @able2biteme haha just your phone..i'm seeing 1256 likes on my laptop! Unless 1256 people liked it in 5 hours o.O

  • Comment removed

  • it's even better live. absolutely amazing.

  • One of the very few covers that, for my taste, exceeds the original. Just f@cking beautiful.

  • Very very good - does Crowded House proud.

  • Fantastic :)

  • can't wait for the 24thhhh

    

  • This is a beautiful cover, it sends shivers, especially if you love the original too.

  • fantastic cover!!

    the banjo reminds me alot of the - Journey of the Sorcerer - by eagles, also used in Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy!

  • just so beautiful

  • Did they do this for a like a version or something?

    I absolutely love the original and when I heard that Boy and Bear did a version, I knew it would be no less than amazing :D

  • @yasamiiine it was done for "he will have his way" a joint collaboration of male vocalists doing covers of crowded house songs, after "she will have her way" was such a big hit, as it deserved to be, both are absolutely wonderful

  • best song cover EVER... I love Boy and Bear

  • like if you knew this song before they covered :D

  • @OliByGolly No, at the Palace Theatre in Melbourne :)

  • Beautiful cover. So excited to see the band next month, hope they play this!

  • @meggyzmoo Big Day Out ?

  • A cover is not supposed to compete with the original, it's simply a different take on the original. This is an excellent cover.

  • dont hate me for saying this but i dont like this at all

  • @Jordanmikka208 All have different tastes i suppose

  • I am so in love with this band now!

  • thankyou tripple j otherwise i would never had heard this song

  • best cover ever!

  • I think that at least 80, 000 views on this video are just me...

  • alright to you geniuses who keep going on about the fact that this is a cover, look at the album cover there. its part of a compilation thats produced by tim and niel finn of other artists playing their songs

  • This such a beautiful song it sounds amazing whoever sings it, i prefer clair bowdiches cover over this although, this one is still so lovely though

  • Trying to work out what the last words were to this song. Tough one.

  • This deserved the top spot in the Hottest 100 far more than Big Jet Plane did.

  • @Raydienz No point talking about who deserved what mate. The Hottest 100 is a popularity contest, nothing more. Big Jet Plane got the most votes so it won. Simple as that.

  • @bobthemonkey08 The implication of the "hottest" 100 implies that what takes the title ought to be the best. Popularity is typically dictated by quality - but in this case it was not. It was dictated by Nova.

  • @Raydienz Big Jet Plane shit me to tears! seriously i never understood how that even made the top 10.

  • LOVING YOUR SOUND! Really tight, well done and blessings to what you do yo.

    Could you do me a favour and check out the Adele cover on my page? Rolling in the Deep, nice Gritty HD video with it too :)

    Let me know if you want to box for box on our channels. I'm a youtube partner now and 63rd most subscribed musician in the UK and growing daily so it may be good exposure, let me know :)

  • @Vi2009 You better be worth it, man, I gotta stop listening to Boy and Bear to hear you sing.

  • Saw this performed live in Chicago a few days ago & got chills it was so good! Sounds even better live!!

  • This lead singer sounds like a hundred other lead singers out there.

  • @degree7..... Your better i bet

  • @georgiewilliam

    I can be an armchair critic if I want.

  • @degree7 the vocals are just a part of the song. Boy and Bear have totally different background music and instrumentals, and IMO a totally different style all together.

  • good work

  • This was the best song played at Splendour In The Grass 2011, pretty sure no one person wasn't singing along

  • @whamymusic fuck off please

  • Comment removed

  • Haters gonna hate. This song was recorded for the second tribute album of it's kind. Following up from the all female 'she will have her way.' Stop complaining and realize that there is not only two albums but an upcoming tour. It is no different to the paul kelly concert a while back.

  • why is everyone arguing in the comments when such a beautiful, heartfelt cover is playing?

  • Amazing song

  • Sitting at traffic lights, heard this for the first time, had tears rolling down my face, it is so beautiful.. am a huge crowded house fan and I just loved your rendition of this song, Im sure Neil must love it too.

    Cant wait for new Boy & Bear album :)

  • @aturnerboys Gotta say I had a similar experience.

  • @aturnerboys Same here. I had to pull over because I couldn't see through the tears. So beautiful =")

  • holly fuck this is good

  • Wow I'm so stoked this came 5th in the Triple J Hottest 100. I think that's the record for highest placed cover, along with Black Betty by Spiderbait and It's Oh So Quiet by Bjork. 

  • great cover of a great KIWI song

  • ^^ word that my friend fuck angus and julia stone .. rangas knows the deal!

  • 14 people don't have ears.

  • This cover is great! Awesome!

  • this is done by Boy & Bear... morons

  • Isn't this the Fleet Foxes?

  • ohhh yeah just saw them live and had to listen to this over and over and over and over......

  • @12lmeganl12 why would they be the other way around? Are you making some reference towards the colour blue being a "boys colour" and pink a girls?Either way, I'm pretty sure the colour I am looking at it this photo is red...so...yeah.

  • @TheNinjabreadMan86 i'm just saying. Normally people put blue for guys and pink for girls. Society, not always me. So... stfu :D

  • Lol I have one of the song's from the "she will have her way" and it's blue... you think the colours would be the other way around?

  • @12lmeganl12 wat

  • one of the best covers love it love it i brought the tripple j hottest 100 just for this one song coz the cd wasnt instore

  • this cover is so much better than original! just saying :-)

  • @tpavageau ...what? that makes no sense.

  • A covver should win! if the original is sing by a talented but GAY artist!!!!

  • @tpavageau ur a dumb kent...honestly if ur trying to say through your jaded english crowded house are gay go and commit

  • how the fuck doent this have 50million views yet?

  • Usually when people do a cover it COMPLETELY ruins the song.

    But this song is great. =D Love it!

  • this song is so beautiful.

    i have it on repeat.

  • στα ποοο διααα σουυυ... μεσα σου στο σκοταδι σε ξερω τα ποδια σου βρεχει πανω μου κρυβεσαι απο μενα δεν τ λες καλα στα ποδια σουυυυ τ δακρυα σου.. ο πονος σου θα προσφερω τον εαυτο μου στ ΠΟΔΙΑ ΣΟΥ οταν πευτω... οταν... οταν τα ποδια σου
  • beautiful.

  • Respect artists, cover or original. talent is talent.

  • great catchy rhythm

  • Comment removed

  • wow im actually impressed :) doesnt quite match up to the original but nice one all the same

  • yawn

    turns a great song into a vocal exercise, rubbish

  • Comment removed

  • Thought it would suck much hempen balls.

    Thankfully, a very nice cover, made me listen to the original again (haven't in AGES)

  • what is it with VEVO and not finishing songs as they should!!!! :(

  • im not gonna beat around the bush...and your probably all think its a HUGE call.....But personally this is better than the original....just puttin it out there

  • why are people offended? this is nothing more than boy & bear paying tribute to a truly amazing song?

    jesus people. chill.

  • why would you compare a cover to an original, its only an interpretation, and what a great one at that :)

  • legendary cover, really good

  • still lovin this song!!

  • i think tim finn & co. would be proud & pleased with this cover... beautiful... beautiful harmonies. i'm a big fan of both crowded house & boy & bear, i think this does justice to both bands & the song

  • don't you love when he says fall and the guys echo?

    fa -all. ;)

  • just another person raping the repeat button :D

  • Gives me goosebumps everytime I listen to it :)

  • absolutely not better then the original.... cannot imagine how you guys could say that, the original is wonderfull

  • @tripstepper i agree with you mate. This is a fantastic cover n doubt, but the origional was quite revolutionary and really made a mark in music history.

    Fimm Brothers <3

  • I agree this is better than the original version.

  • @yourmumgotpoonme and "flame trees" & "yellow brick road' by sarah blasko.

    GAWD she does the best covers

  • @yourmumgotpooonme and jonney Cash's version of hurt

  • I really like this but still think that their own songs are much better.

  • Love this version. Its so amazing and emotional.

    'Did you want my presence of need my help?"

  • saw these guys today at the triple j concert at unsw, really good :)

  • Breathtakingly gorgeous and emotional.

  • I think I'm in love with this song

  • i love this song and this cover, beacuse its not just a blatent cover, boy and bear have actually put their own spin on it and given it a whole new light and soal

  • c'est une reprise spéciale mais l'originale est loin devant !

  • Brett O'Malley -  Amazing Life - Groooooovy

  • love them. bloody good cover job.
