It's not ignorant to say, 'this is so good that a even a non-fan like me loves it'. I think there's more strength to a song/artist that converts people in to liking a genre of music they normally don't like, than one that just keeps the fans happy.
I can't believe how much this song resonated with me a year ago... One of those songs for me that means alot and had me crying when I heard it but felt healed listening to it. I was alone and music was my only friend and soother! Thanks for this cover best ever!
When this played in the car I remember nearly crashing because I was buzzing so hard. Definitely the reason that I listen to Like a Version erry week. Triple J got their value out of that guest. Here's to Aussie hip hop aye?
I concur candyman, I ex introduced me to Hilltop Hoods back in 99 or 2k or something and I haven't stopped since. Only US rap worth a fuck is biggie, tribe, DOOM and digable planets lol. :p
Fucking love the exchange between the radio host and the guest vocalist. Letting him know she frequents the bar he works at. Yeah good, old mate spends a few weeks prepping for a big debut on national radio and 30 seconds before he starts she reminds him he has a day job serving people drinks just to take him down a peg. I bet he appreciated that hugely. That look away at 0:30 could kill.
@sean you're missing the relativity in the comment mate. Is it a bottom feeder job? No fucking way. Is it a few pegs lower than being a professional musician with potentially hundreds of thousands of people loving your music? Absofuckinglutely.
+Jodie Banks Callin out your lover Been callin out his name He’s been hidin, He’s been hidin There’s only him to blame Callin out your lover He couldn’t tell it to your face He’s been lyin, He’s been lyin Too fucked up by the pain {Verse 1 Tuka} Once upon a time You met him on a summer’s night Stomach full of butterflies Dressed in your best jeans By the end of the next week You would have hit it up a hundred times Sex in them bed sheets Now your singin lullabies And your blessed with a little girl And in your eyes she’s beautiful True to form, She rules your world Don’t ever say it wasn’t worth it But you’ve been seeing him for 5 years And you can see it in his eyes yeah And I can tell you’ve thought about it Give me an idea From the stories that i hear Of course you doubt him You mourn the sound when He says he isn’t headed home You can hear that fake voice break through the telephone His alibis don’t hide his life on the side You try to have faith but you’ll never know {Pre Chorus Ev Jones} Break down Pull yourself out of this state dear Acknowledge he was a fake dear From there on you might just grow Throw it all away {Chorus} {Verse 2 Jeswon} When did it all turn sour Safe to say that now he’s underneath your skin While you cower in the corner with no power left within But you’re his lover Even though you know he’ll never love ya You suffer just being his insignificant other Lipstick that’s smeared across his collar His best kept secret that’s hidden under covers Confide in your mother Nursing a broken heart Alone in the dark clutching at his photograph When it comes to emotions you close them shut Because he might just leave if you open up And it hurts so bad Think you’re gonna go mad Contemplating the things that you don’t have And you feel so sad When he leaves that you reach for the prozac, Yeah Tuka/Jeswon And now he’s standing at your gate And he be acting strange It’s sad to say But girl you have to face it Pack them bags that you’ve had stashed away It’s a tragic way to end it But if he can’t even pay attention And if he can’t even make the effort It’s way to late to save Its a cold world no man’s safe from You got soul girl Don’t let no man take none {Chorus} Ohhhh, Ohhhh, Ohhhh, Ohhhhooooo Too fucked up by the pain (x3) Ohhhh, Ohhhh, Ohhhh, Ohhhhooooo
Thank you for providing the correct lyrics. The lyrics depict a story of a troubled romantic relationship where the protagonist has been calling out their lover's name, indicating a longing for their attention and affection. However, the lover has been hiding and avoiding confrontation, being solely responsible for the issues in the relationship. The protagonist expresses feelings of pain and being lied to, highlighting the destructive impact it has had on them. The lyrics further describe the history of the relationship, from its passionate beginnings to the present, where the protagonist has a child with their lover. Despite the blessings of their child, doubts and mistrust have crept into the relationship due to the lover's actions. The protagonist contemplates the idea of leaving, feeling the need to break free from the hurt and acknowledge the lover's deceitful nature. The relationship has turned sour, with the lover now residing under the protagonist's skin, causing them to feel powerless and trapped. The protagonist confides in their mother and experiences heartache, clinging to memories of their time together. However, the fear of abandonment prevents them from fully expressing their emotions. The pain becomes unbearable, leading them to reach for Prozac as a coping mechanism. As the story progresses, it becomes clear that the lover's behavior has become strange and distant. The protagonist realizes that it's time to face the truth and prepares to leave, packing their bags and ending the relationship. The lyrics convey a message of empowerment and resilience, encouraging the protagonist to protect their soul and not let any man take away their sense of self-worth. Overall, the lyrics capture the emotional turmoil, deception, and eventual decision to break free from a toxic relationship that has caused immense pain.
This honestly isn't my favourite style of music. But these guys have done an excellent cover and you can see just how much effort they have put into it. Very creative and originally produced. Well done.
i think i listened to this song about 1,000,000,000,000 times last night...awwwww shucks, just had me hook, line and sinker. heard it when it first came about but slipped my mind until last night haha. so freaking good, classic Thundmentals.
Oh how I fucking love this. I heard it last night on Triple J and not knowing who was covering, I have spent all morning searching for this. Wooooo good work Thundamentals!
okay 1) isn't it wondrous how music makes people come alive 2) I LISTEN TO THE DJ THERE ALL THE TIME it's so bizarre when you SEE radio people for the first time.
Absolutely AMAZING! Better then the original. I've been listening to this song over and over again. Ev Jones paired with the Thundamentals is a winning duo. I really wish we could download this version of the song. It's very rare that you find someone with such a moving voice like Jones's.
2024 gang still coming back to this absolute banger
Yessss!! I’ll never get sick of it
Absolute Banger
How has it been 10 YEARS already, since this gem!? Still one of my fave covers EVERRRR!
Quarantine got me coming back to this beautiful thing
🔥🔥
Ditto
Boom
Fuk quarantine. We come here daily 🙏🤙
✋🏻
3 years later and this is still the best Like A Version ever.
ktgcake couldnt agree more
ktgcake Sticky fingers "delete" makes it pretty close
I think Chet Faker doing Lover You Don't Treat Me No Good would have to be my second favourite.
ktgcake peking duk covering kylie minogue is pretty badass
+ktgcake Nothing else to say.
Keep clicking Like button.... nothing happening. :(
Peace
I started melting as soon as they started singing. Now I'm just a puddle of awe.

Hope you still truckin' on mate

+James Richards Excellent man. USed to love US rap, but Aussie hip hop has taken over me now.
yuuup
I concur candyman, I ex introduced me to Hilltop Hoods back in 99 or 2k or something and I haven't stopped since. Only US rap worth a fuck is biggie, tribe, DOOM and digable planets lol. :p

You put into words exactly what I thought. It was honestly the strangest thing to say.
ya he didnt like that at all hahah he wont be doing that for long I imagine
So to you, "serving drinks to people” is a day job that drops you down a peg?
Fuck you mate.
@sean you're missing the relativity in the comment mate. Is it a bottom feeder job? No fucking way. Is it a few pegs lower than being a professional musician with potentially hundreds of thousands of people loving your music? Absofuckinglutely.
Every time i listen to this i laugh /cringe at her comments about it pre song.
that first line gave me goosebumps how they hit it from the beginning omg
I haven't stopped listening to this for the whole of this month. Even worked out the lyrics one day because they aren't online. Best cover yet.
+Jodie Banks Callin out your lover
Been callin out his name
He’s been hidin, He’s been hidin
There’s only him to blame
Callin out your lover
He couldn’t tell it to your face
He’s been lyin, He’s been lyin
Too fucked up by the pain
{Verse 1 Tuka}
Once upon a time
You met him on a summer’s night
Stomach full of butterflies
Dressed in your best jeans
By the end of the next week
You would have hit it up a hundred times
Sex in them bed sheets
Now your singin lullabies
And your blessed with a little girl
And in your eyes she’s beautiful
True to form, She rules your world
Don’t ever say it wasn’t worth it
But you’ve been seeing him for 5 years
And you can see it in his eyes yeah
And I can tell you’ve thought about it
Give me an idea
From the stories that i hear
Of course you doubt him
You mourn the sound when
He says he isn’t headed home
You can hear that fake voice break through the telephone
His alibis don’t hide his life on the side
You try to have faith but you’ll never know
{Pre Chorus Ev Jones}
Break down
Pull yourself out of this state dear
Acknowledge he was a fake dear
From there on you might just grow
Throw it all away
{Chorus}
{Verse 2 Jeswon}
When did it all turn sour
Safe to say that now he’s underneath your skin
While you cower in the corner with no power left within
But you’re his lover
Even though you know he’ll never love ya
You suffer just being his insignificant other
Lipstick that’s smeared across his collar
His best kept secret that’s hidden under covers
Confide in your mother
Nursing a broken heart
Alone in the dark clutching at his photograph
When it comes to emotions you close them shut
Because he might just leave if you open up
And it hurts so bad
Think you’re gonna go mad
Contemplating the things that you don’t have
And you feel so sad
When he leaves that you reach for the prozac, Yeah
Tuka/Jeswon
And now he’s standing at your gate
And he be acting strange
It’s sad to say
But girl you have to face it
Pack them bags that you’ve had stashed away
It’s a tragic way to end it
But if he can’t even pay attention
And if he can’t even make the effort
It’s way to late to save
Its a cold world no man’s safe from
You got soul girl
Don’t let no man take none
{Chorus}
Ohhhh, Ohhhh, Ohhhh, Ohhhhooooo Too fucked up by the pain (x3)
Ohhhh, Ohhhh, Ohhhh, Ohhhhooooo
Haha thanks!
favourite like a version ever
So tru
💯💯💯💎💎💎
"Today we're doing Matt Corby's brother"
A little too much info.
3 years and no replies? Quite the different youtube back then. Damn shame, but thanks for the laugh.
they gave you the hint and then told you the answer. simples....

I guess if you have the mind of a peanut then yes, L0L.

This honestly isn't my favourite style of music. But these guys have done an excellent cover and you can see just how much effort they have put into it. Very creative and originally produced. Well done.
Bartenders vocals are superb, this song just hits those feels
absolutely love this cover. transformed an acoustic, transient sound into more of a upbeat one... love them both in different ways!
hands down the best cover ever done in history big thundermentals fan
It's been years and this cover still gets me every time I hear it! These guys are just amazing.
Amazing cover. Although its pretty much just a new song, and what a song it is! Ev Jones has a fantastic voice!
i think i listened to this song about 1,000,000,000,000 times last night...awwwww shucks, just had me hook, line and sinker. heard it when it first came about but slipped my mind until last night haha. so freaking good, classic Thundmentals.
The bartender has an amazing set of vocals 😃
He has his own project with DJ Morgs from Thundamentals, together they are called Jones Jnr.you should check them out :)
Thanks Caleb , will do..
yeah he does hey
i live his voice, thanks for the tip on his other outfits :)
Ev Jones! Finally 🤗 I've been trying to remember this lads name forever. All I could remember is that he was a bartender!
I agree💯 this one is still so good all these years later 💚
Still loving this Like a Version in 2019 ❤
He is in a project called 'Jones Jnr.' you can find on facebook/soundcloud.
seriously so in love with this! no going to lie way better than the original!
Since they did this like a version I have listened to it at least once a day..... can't get enough of it!
mmmmmmm Thundamentals you soaked my ears in lyrical love! Thanks for tune.
Thundamentals...just illustrating why I love you guys so much...and Ev Jones...wow!
Dman it's been 9 years since this dropped? Time flies. Hope everyone is OK, and living they life.
Oh how I fucking love this. I heard it last night on Triple J and not knowing who was covering, I have spent all morning searching for this. Wooooo good work Thundamentals!
Yep, still amazing.
All good, carry on.
Can't believe this is 10 years old. Still my all time favourite like a version
This and Missy Higgins' cover of "Heart's a mess" are the best Like A Versions
i love seeing how much heart and effort they put into this song
not a massive fan of aussie hiphop but this...
...this is one of the best LAV's...
...ever.
Love Jeswon's rolling 'clutching at his photograph' bit! Absolute Thundagoodness all round boys!!!
still gives me goosebumps...
Their voices mix so well together ❤
Probably my favourite Like A Version!
I’ve been watching this for literally 7 years ❤️
I love Matt Corby's version, but hell this is just as awesome!!!!
6 years ago and still better then ever.
Can't count how many times I've listened to this
I wanna hear more vocals from the singer... Smooth!
His name is Ev Jones
Here's his TH-cam
th-cam.com/play/PLRDFNySJO3zEUC-DRoOzf_UnNffhDJ94O.html
So amazing. Listening to this at our camp in Coffs Harbour. LOVE IT!!!
Ev Jones es perfecto. Me encanta esta versión!
Greatest like a version ever
pretty sure at least 1000 of those views are from me, fucking love this
This is just... words can't even explain how incredible this is, UHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
This is nucking futs. Love it!
The centred guy who isn't even in with the thundamentals stole the show. His voice is so amazing. it wavers, like julia stones
Fuck this is so good! Thundamentals smashed it once again
Please do another song with this guest vocalist, what a beautiful voice 😍
You should have a look around for Jones Jr. This singer (Ev Jones) plus the Thundamentals producer (Morgan Jones), made some beautiful soul tunes.
okay 1) isn't it wondrous how music makes people come alive
2) I LISTEN TO THE DJ THERE ALL THE TIME it's so bizarre when you SEE radio people for the first time.
FEELS
Six and a half years later and it’s still incredible.

Alan Wu Funny comment i laughed a lot but..... "That one guy" is Tuka.
Hahahahahaahhaahhahahaah
I still search for this track and thrash it over and over; best cover ever!!
so fucking good.... gives me goosebumps
Headphones on, sound up. Epic stuff. Loving this. Not really a cover, more a remake. Matt's original is great, but this......? Wow
hhhhhoooooollllyyyyy shiitttt

This still slaps so hard after all these years 👌🏼
The Barman has an awesome voice
Absolutely AMAZING! Better then the original. I've been listening to this song over and over again. Ev Jones paired with the Thundamentals is a winning duo. I really wish we could download this version of the song. It's very rare that you find someone with such a moving voice like Jones's.
I have no idea why I would have had any rivalry with Matt Corby's brother when I was growing up... Makes no sense...
if you had a brother, you would have rivalry was the hint
MrSpinyosaurass I have a brother, but he's not Matt Corby's brother...
Guidonator181 are you kidding me
Guidonator181 its matt corbys song brother metaphorically speaking you silly frog
Guidonator181 this guy :')
Best like a version I have heard in a long time! Thundamentals are king!!
