This is pretty great, especially considering that this is his first time performing live ever. Dude seems to be having fun with it and I'm glad the reception has been almost unanimously positive.
Not certain but I think the song is syncopated. Syncopation is a neat little audio illusion that makes a song more lively or loose, there's a great Vox Earworm video on the use of the effect
@@HuyLy94 it's not syncopation that's making it sound off, but he is literally singing the verses 2 beats ahead of when they're sung in the original. just wanted to switch things up i suppose
Never really appreciated this cover until I started learning piano and guitar. This kid is crazy talented. What an awesome cover, so glad the appreciation grew on me.

Ahhh the French covering the French. I think Lil Biccy is going to cop a lot of hate for this one but I quite like that this is a proper cover with his own take on a classic. That build and drop @ 2:32 is gold.
How? From what I understand they want you to cover songs that mean something to you so it’s not a stretch that a French kid would be most inspired by a French band.
I think Captyvate probably means a lot of people wouldn't like that a lot of the instrumentation was done before the performance, not necessarily Petit's taste in music. I think a lot of us were expecting heaps of "all he did was press the spacebar a few times" comments, but surprisingly there aren't many.
I heard this on the radio this morning and missed the intro, thought it sounded like Petit Biscuit but didn't know it was him! Major Madeon vibes on that end drop though
On first listen I was disappointed, but now after listening to it several times I can’t stop. This is a killer cover and different from all of the typical sad acoustic guitar (Birdy-esque) versions you find on TH-cam

HE SHOULD SING MORE OMG
He's not a singer?
@@BasketballBeaner213 He's more like a musician/DJ. He doesn't sing in his most popular songs.
If you listen to “We Were Young” you can hear him sing “Love” for his drop sample. Issa cute
Um excuse me but DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH AUTO-TUNE IS IN THIS VIDEO?! It should be a crime.
@@vvdaniii244 well usually he's a producer so for him to sing live this well is already a sick accomplishment imo. love his take on this
This is pretty great, especially considering that this is his first time performing live ever. Dude seems to be having fun with it and I'm glad the reception has been almost unanimously positive.
Alia McBride nah he’s played live a lot. Live as in recorded and posted officially on TH-cam? Maybe...
@@rifdi1995 he said before the song that it was his first time performing live so,,,
its so weird he would say that lol
First time he's sung live*
no he said its the first time he has sung
Reminds me of Flume & Chet Faker - This song is not about a girl
yeaah i thought the same too
probably samplephonics haha
if I'm not mistaken he did state Flume as one of his musical influences.
Yes!
@asdf do yo know where can i get that drum loop??
One of my favourite artists covering another of my favourite artist and having a good time while he is at it. This is so cool
This guy makes the music that i want to listen.
This ain't even his fucking song
@@ETH1N1 But he makes it in the way we love it
that means you have such bad musical tastes ...
french flume
This kid is mad talented! Well done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I loved this song growing up. It has great sentimental value for me. So when i heard this cover it still gave me those feelings ;)
why are his lyrics like half a beat off the music and also why does it work
Not certain but I think the song is syncopated. Syncopation is a neat little audio illusion that makes a song more lively or loose, there's a great Vox Earworm video on the use of the effect
Cause he is just that cool
@@HuyLy94 it's not syncopation that's making it sound off, but he is literally singing the verses 2 beats ahead of when they're sung in the original. just wanted to switch things up i suppose
the original is similar in this way too
@@onitankt-348 whatever he is doing it works really well
And that is how you sample and smash a cover... absolutely mesmerizing fam...
By far the greatest like a version and best kick on song I have in my arsenal 💯
Two great French artists omg
Rachel Y. Phoenix are at least 3 if I'm right
Never really appreciated this cover until I started learning piano and guitar. This kid is crazy talented. What an awesome cover, so glad the appreciation grew on me.
This dude exudes talent. You've got a massive career ahead of you my brother. Good luck!
Sick like a version, great twist on the song! Loved it!

Think it's not what you say, what you say is way too complicated
For a minute, though, I couldn't tell how to fall out
It's twenty seconds 'til the last call

Like we did it all the summer long
And I'll be anything you ask and more
Going hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
It's not a miracle we needed
No, I wouldn't let you think so

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this
Wow, I was pleasantly surprised. He gives it a completely different feel. One that shifts the focus from mainly the electronics to the vocals.
Has to be one of the best Like a Version covers, love it
I keep coming back to this after 3 years...
Is it just me or is he a young Rick Astley?
he def has the 80's fit going
probably the hair haha
Facts
Yeah or dave gahan from depeche mode
This is so sick! Proper like a version, really interesting
Now this is some great music. Great cover!
ONE OF MY FAVOURITE ARTISTS COVERING ONE OF MY FAVOURITE SONGS
So glad he’s getting the recognition that he deserves, been listening to him forever love it !!! Great opportunity ❤️❤️
Petit Baguette (more sauce than a biscuit)
Hey! As a French I have to make it clear for all the english-speaking readers : here a baguette is just bread, not all of these awkward sandwiches! :D
Théo Tissier in parts of the US a biscuit is like a savoury scone served with gravy
@@jessthompson237 Petit Poptart
@@jrose987 Petit cinnabun
damn lil biccy back at it again with the dope tunes
*magical*
One of my favourite songs ever
i cant stop listening to this , its amazing
How can so much talent fit into one human?!?!
The moment you decide to log on to TH-cam after years just to like a video.
Still love it, still in my playlist, thank you for that. Part of so many good moments in my life.
J’adore 🤩
This is just beautiful
this is wonderful, I love his voice!
Dudes got pipes. Awesome performance
Please release this as a single
It on spotify
Ahhh the French covering the French. I think Lil Biccy is going to cop a lot of hate for this one but I quite like that this is a proper cover with his own take on a classic. That build and drop @ 2:32 is gold.
Captyvate a lot of hate?
How? From what I understand they want you to cover songs that mean something to you so it’s not a stretch that a French kid would be most inspired by a French band.

I think a lot of us were expecting heaps of "all he did was press the spacebar a few times" comments, but surprisingly there aren't many.
Captyvate why do the French cover the French in English?
That Drop is so good!
I love you petit biscuit ! ❤️
Makes me feel like I'm back in the late 2000's again prefect
I was a bit iffy on this cover, then he got to chorus and I was hooked. Hard.
This cover is underrated
Edit: And this is how I discovered 1901 by Phoenix, this version still slaps tho it has some strange vibe that I love
Why does this sound better than a studio version omfg
Absolute perfection!!! 😍
He should sing more song. I like his voice. He’s really talented
I heard this on the radio this morning and missed the intro, thought it sounded like Petit Biscuit but didn't know it was him! Major Madeon vibes on that end drop though
Jordon Pollock it's interesting, I actually thought of Porter Robinson not Madeon! Either way, nothing wrong with a bit of influence
I didn’t have neither Madeon or Porter vibe.
Really great song and very nice Voice . Music like we want listen
this is heavenly
Just watched two covers by two great bands and one man blows them all out of the water.
Real frickin naughty
I kept thinking he was leaving lyrics out but it's just the different beat he begins on. Fantastic cover, this is the kind of covers we need
This cover of 1901 BANGS!
i’m in love with himmm 😭💙
This performance just singlehandedly made me fall in love with him
The original is one of my favourite songs ever. And yet that guitar riff tops it
This is some sweet sweet music! Loving it.
I can’t believe how old he is. Achieving so much so young!
Le genre d'artiste qui claque ! Bravo petit Biscuit :)
Wow…..great cover. Had it on repeat
Gosh! Why is he so gorgeous? 😍
Je t'aime c'est tout ❤️
What a talent
J’adore sa voix, elle est émouvante, douce et pleine d’énergie!
Please put this on your Spotify playlist triple J!
The coolest cover ever. 100% love
Nice job! Phoenix must approve as do I as their long time fan. Nailed it always my friend
ok I'm addicted to this
Extraordinary! This is everything I need.
Legendary. He’s going places 💕💯
Simplesmente a melhor música...! Que vibe top! Estou apaixonada ❤️
