If i didnt already know the song i wouldn't know what she was singing. Purposefully slurring her words?... Is it meant to sound good or has she suffered a stroke? I'll never understand the obsession with Florence. Beautiful arrangement and cover by the Machine though, their take on this song is refreshing. Just wish they had a singer that was easier on the ears.
I've broken my arm in two different places and didn't cry. My parents got divorced when I was 14 I didn't cry. This song made me cry pretty hard listening to it, just music at its best.
I have a crazy idea, can we just enjoy the cover instead of indulging the never ending whose is better comment battle, I'm sure they aren't sitting around arguing about who did it better so why should we?
This is a great song. Florence and The machine are great. But I must say that the original by Cold War Kids is much much better. Heads and Tails better.
I like and respect this song, just in the description, it shouldn't be "by" Florence and the Machine. Sung by, yes . Made by, no. That's Cold War Kids.
I like this version,but I do like cold war kids' original better.I just think it's great that this big name band did a cover of a song that should have been more popular,thanks for posting :)
This is a brilliant cover, but the original brought me down to tears hearing it. I mean, when you pay close attention to the lyrics, it scares you, my interpretation of it is that, two Vietnam soldiers befriend each other while dying. Cold War Kids are the just unbelievable. Oh, and there's two things we can at least agree on,
1. Florence (Florence + The Machine is a band) can SING.
@MrAbdi111 In my case Flornce live version of this song brought me to tears, while the original was just, "Meh"... Both are good but Florence just make the song her own. She's beyond talanted.
i love this song(: cold war kids did good writting this song. This cover is good too. Hearing from a female voice puts this song in another perspective. I really enjoy it(:
GIZE! We all have different taste in music. If you don't like it just move onto some music you do like. At least you're trying new stuff. So yeah. What've we learned? Very little. I'm drunk. If it wasn't for spell check you gize'd have no chance of reading this!
@idontjudge2 You're a fucking retard.. obviously never listened to the original. How can some rug muncher with no talent ever be on par with the Cold War Kids?
@Warlock952 Wow calm down , Insults people! Thats a very hateful comment please calm down theyre both good bands , and after all its just a song , and shes a human being too calm down people. If youve got a problem with that go spread hate somewhere else and good day small minded people
@RecamZero Fuck off you would-be councillor. I'm entitled to my opinion without being called narrow or small minded. And actually, it's a FACT. Not an opinion. Florence has pretty much no talent, in fact she would be nowhere without the extensive promotion her father has produced. The CWC's version, the original and best, it incredible and brought a lot of people to tears because of the beautiful lyrics. Do you think this version had the same effect? No.
@Warlock952 Lets see then ,I never said No free opinions ,You can have all the free opinion you want but dont say it so hatefully ,theres a fine line to when free opinions are free opinions and hateful declarations.So to you I say so far youve acted as if youve got the only free opinion in the world and the world revolves around you , other people have opinions. Also 'free opinion' work 2 ways , so as long as you respect other opinions which you havent. Not every body has the same taste as you
@Warlock952 Well actually yeah ! See you have brought up free speech , personally I don't think the whole free speech concept is good some opinions are wrong , but if you believe in Free speech and Free opinions and everyone's right concept as you've so blatantly proven then you have to respect others as well
@Warlock952 Insults now? Seems I have defeated you , As I said SOME free speech is wrong , such as a statement like You should all kill yourselves because I said so or for the don't bash until you try concept Have you ever put your head under a moving trucks wheel ? You don't now until you've tried it! Plus You were the one using but not condoning free speech , from where I am standing you would be better for the job
@imonster242DRohrer44 " her voice isn't that good"?! do you even now what means having a good voice? cos if you did u wouldn't say such silly thing son
@imonster242DRohrer44 I think her voice is amazing at the begining. And you'd know she was a brilliant singer just by the fact that you probally couldn't do better......... no one beats Florence! She could challenge God with that voice!............x
@FlorenceisaMachine Maybe some people do not know of the band "Cold War Kids", so they would think this is an original Florence song. You can't assume everyone knows when it's a cover or an original song.
@FlorenceisaMachine I think you should put that this is a Cod War Kids cover in the title. I didn't even know that it was until I read the comments and heard it right after listening to the original. Also, when I started to type "hospital beds" into the Youtube search bar, it suggested Florence + the Machine before the Cold War Kids which I don't think is fair to the Cold War Kids.
@soludare92 UHHHHHHMMM excuse me was there supposed to be some HOStility implied in your comment?? I caught alittle sarcasm there. If there is , you need to take it away from my video cuz, im not havin it.
@FlorenceisaMachine haha it may come of that way but I was being serious, 'Hospital Beds' is one of the Cold War Kids most prominent songs and I kind of expect most people to know it.
@FlorenceisaMachine it doesn't seem there was considering it was a different person from the origanal commenter they seem to merely be congratulating your answer
Ok, I like the original song and arrangement better, but I would rather that the girl from Florence and the Machine be singing it. Her voice is so much stronger and it is piercing.
@katertots87 Florence only has one album out currently and it's originally by Cold War Kids, if you didn't see the name plastered everywhere else in the comments.
