Like Trent Reznor's "Hurt", covered by Johnny Cash, both this version and the Portishead version of "Roads" are powerful and stirring in their own right. Each group made it their own. As always, however, extra kudos to the writer.
sitting here...in anticipation (as i have just heard about this cover and MDB being a huge influence on me) waiting for that MDB sound to burst through the speakers. that duel guitar harmony that i fell in love with and...nope it doesnt happen.
im sooo deflated. this song is awesome but i'd at least expext someone in the band to go 'hey, why don't we make a cover of the original that doesnt actually sound like the original?' because if i wanted to listen to portsihead...i'd go and do it.
@DjTokenMusic I don't see the point in making a cover that is completly different. If they were to make it sound completly different, it wouldn't be a cover, just different music with the same words. Why would that count as a cover? I liked the fact that they stayed true to the original, yet incorporated their own style, in a way, into the music. I think Aaron's voice and the violin make it different enough. Sometimes I like this cover better and sometimes I like the original better.
Perfect song for this band to cover. Beautiful and haunting... they kept the soul of this track alive (so to speak) I love the original and love this cover equally. Great video too. Really fits well.
For how much people trash on this version, it's much better than I thought it was going to be. The music is pretty much spot on, and the vocalist seems to do it quite well too. Sure, it's nothing like Beth, but still quite a respectable cover.
This song with The Cry Of Mankind is my favourite My Dying Bride song ever. Is so sad, so deep, so dark; perfect for the silent hill !!! and obviusly 9999999 times better than the original :)
If you still need it, then I would suggest you to check out these (keep in mind my dying bride is actually a metal band, so i only picked softer stuff)
Sear me III
From Darkest Skies
Two Winters Only (probably the softest one)
For My Fallen Angel
My Wine in Silence
a Doomed Lover
The Wreckage of my flesh (metal-ish beginning, but adds to the atmosphere. Probably the saddest one out of these)
I been a fan of both bands for a long time, but I just found about this cover. The original was one of my favorite songs ever, but after founding about this version, it's the only version I have been listening to.
feels good to know that there is steel people who does appreciate this kind of music on our planet, thnx guys we have to build our roads to the darkness and it's beauty
Storm in the morning light, I feel no more Can I say, Frozen to myself I got nobody on my side and Surely that is not right and Surely that is not right ...
@SorrowGalaxies Maybe it will be the other way round when some more months pass, hehe. I like both the bands but it was a bit weird that MDB made their version of this song. I wouldn't say that any version is better.. both keep the melody, though there's a different voice and effects. This is not one of the best MDB songs anyway, not exactly their style.
i fucking hate volume equalisers. anytime the guitar or vocals stop, the drums (which sound programmed btw, another thing i hate) increase in volume. volume of any instruments should not go randomly up and down like that.
by far my fav cover... and one of my fav mdb songs wat and amazing band the way they covered this song reminds me of perfect circle... both amazing bands
@grafvonblass Yeah, the clip is from Tim Burton's Vincent, and even though the narrative to the actual clip is filled with Tim Burton's characteristic genius dark humor, it still fits the music well.
