This is what creating a great cover version is all about. Adding a distinct twist to a classic whilst still retaining the essence of what made it a great song in the first place. Awesome work!
This is exactly what we tried to do. Original - nothing will compare, perfect in every way. Do our own thing while paying tribute to the essence of what this is about. That was our aim. Appreciate you!
@@GamerGavin04 I think for most of us we like to hear a band's own interpretation of a song, that's why I love metal covers of The Cure or piano covers of The Toadies, I love to hear how a band puts its own slant on a song. But I can see where you are coming from, Gav, because a lot of the times someone butchers the original tune 🤣 Greta definitely did Everlong justice here.
@@krashd Yeah i see what you mean though by their own little twist, but I certainly love a cover that sticks to the original flow and tune! Doesnt matter to me though they still did an awesome job!
I admit when the keys first started the song I was thinking "oh no, please don't do this to Everlong" but this take is really really awesome. You guys totally made it your own instead of standing in the shadow of the mighty Foo Fighters. Awesome job!
I gotta say when they first started the song I was thinking "Oh no, please don't do this to everlonh" but by the end I was like "Damn they really fucked up everlomg huh"
This version made me cry. :( Remembering my mom today, a week before my birthday. Mom passed away last Christmas 2021. Thank you, #GretaStanley and her band and @TripleJ #TripleJ #LikeAVerson #IfEverythingCouldEverBeThisRealForever #IfAnythingCouldEverBeThisGoodAgain
@@gretastanley9653 this is why I love channels like "like a version" , always getting onto new artists. As promised Greta I have checked out a few of your songs, I'm now going to Plant my feet, in the red earth dirt and check out some more. Love your sound Greta 👍
gotta check out In The Face of War's cover of Everlong ....they made it in like 2005 or 2006 ...a bit heavier but man it gets me every time i hear it almost 20yrs later
I haven't heard a better Like A Version that deserves that name more! I initially bounced off it hard as the original is an all time favorite. But then I realized that this is not Today I Cover, it's LIKE A VERSION! Tribute the original and turn it into something new and own it. There are so many nuances in it that I had to listen to it several times to fully appreciate it. It creates that uneasy feeling of wanting to go all out while listening to the original but at the same time being held back and go with the flow of this beauty created here. So it perfectly captures how Foo's songs won't ever feel the same again after Taylor Hawkins passed away. Amazing job!
I must have listened to this a few dozen times by now.... I love the slower pace, the higher pitch vocals, and the groove of this cover. So very different from the original or acoustic versions, and a real stand-out performance. Thanks for sharing!
Wow, amazing! Love the cover, Greta and the rest. First heard it when i watched Simple Pleasures, a cool snowboard movie, when Foo Fighters wasn’t that much big of a deal yet. It’s on youtube, watch that!
I also had my doubt about the song, but you really hit the nail on the head with this song and made it something else. I think that Dave would love it just as much as the rest of us. I would love to see you and Dave Grohl do a duet that would rock. You rock
Love it Greta! Love the song so much, and love your arrangement. I did a stripped back version a few months ago, hope you get a chance to listen to it x
Great rendition of this. I also dig the fx on th guitars- at the like 1:00 mark or so the guitars for the verse have a hint of the halloween theme song

Thanks Graham!
Must be a personal taste, but I actually prefer a cover to sound almost just like the original, just with a different voice.

Bruh i was the same !
+1
I honestly go let's see how this person can mess up a perfect song. They nailed it and made it their own
Synth is so over used for a nostalgic feel these days. I’m glad they didn’t over use it
I gotta say when they first started the song I was thinking "Oh no, please don't do this to everlonh" but by the end I was like "Damn they really fucked up everlomg huh"
The world needs a duet with Greta and Dave. This cover was fantastic.

bro this was my wifes mums funeral song she passed a bit over a year ago this song is beautiful
How did this not get in the top 100. Mesmerising voice Greta.
Thank you!
This is a fantastic cover, I hadn't heard of Greta before this, definitely going to check her stuff out now. Well done guys 👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you Kev!

She's such an angel! Listen to bedroom city, the album, and go from there 💛💛
@@cassiemarriott9823 thanks Cassie, will do 👍
Can't stop coming back to this.
Best cover I've ever heard of my favorite song. I owe you a look into the whole discography, Greta!
God damn gotta be one of my fav like versions! Greta adds so much emotion
Incredible. Was really wishing they would have kicked into double-time for the second and third chorus though. Song wants to explode!
A reason why the original is timeless, it builds up
I love a good simmer
gotta check out In The Face of War's cover of Everlong ....they made it in like 2005 or 2006 ...a bit heavier but man it gets me every time i hear it almost 20yrs later
These lyrics give me this feeling of a long lost love. I love it so much.

Yes yes yes!!! Love it Greta! You’re amazing. So happy for you, absolutely nailed it 🥰
'If Anything Could Ever Be This Good Again'. Wow, how that line from the song describes this cover! Awesome version!!
So beautiful, just truly amazing
This is seriously perfect. Such a great take on the original with Greta’s dreamy pop sound! 💖
she's got a voice of an angel!!
She sounds like every other generic female triple J promoted singer.
Goosebumps.

Absolutely mesmerising version of one of my most treasured tunes. Thankyou beautiful Greta!
She has such a lovely singing voice, it's so sad and eerie. Interesting how she has an Australian accent and sings this way. So cool. 😎
What a brilliant version! Excellent cover of a great song
I’m in love with this version & tempo
Great work. I was served up Greta’s work on Spotify and for you. Amazing how technology can connect us to these fine things.
They really took this composition down and rebuilt it. It is fantastic. I now appreciate the original even more!
So good.. made it your own and very meaningful
Love love love it!!!!
Definitely done this justice 🔥🔥🏴
That was great, I luv GRETA'S voice, very talented, I will def look out for more of her material 👍🤟👍🤟👍🤟👍🤟👍🤟
Heard heaps of people talking crap, but this is a great cover!! Good work Greta!
Stunning ❤ what a talent she is
I've never heard anyone make this song their own, very good job!
I'd recommend Jay Buchanan's (vocalist for Rival Sons) cover of it. It's very unique and I think it's beautiful.
I was not expecting this to be so damn good!
Wow, amazing! Love the cover, Greta and the rest. First heard it when i watched Simple Pleasures, a cool snowboard movie, when Foo Fighters wasn’t that much big of a deal yet. It’s on youtube, watch that!
Didn't think I would like it, but wow! Great job!
Her voice is ethereal, nearly made me cry.
You really captured the essence of this song! This is so beautifully Sad love song
Oooh this built up nicely. Wasn't sure for the first few bars but it really grew on me
NAILED IT!
I also had my doubt about the song, but you really hit the nail on the head with this song and made it something else. I think that Dave would love it just as much as the rest of us. I would love to see you and Dave Grohl do a duet that would rock. You rock
Wow Micheal thank you! That’s such a huge compliment.
@@gretastanley9653 look out you could do well in the hottest 🔥 100 🤘👍
Ps your got my vote 😎
Wow. I heard the words totally new this run. Great job.
Stunning
Incredible Greta ❤️
Never thought anyone else besides the Foo Fighters could do this song, but this is a good, unique cover ❤️
Great job Greta and band! I’ll be playing this 7/19/23!
Whoa!!!!! BRILLIANT!!!!!
Nailed it on the vocals damn, how did I miss this?
10/10 that was perfect 🤩
What the fuck...? 🤔
@@baaron7 I'm with u
@@scotto8513 now he's deleted them? Was that just to get his comment up the top because it was interacted with more? 😂
Love love love!!!
This is perfect. Well done.
Great cover! Love it!
Very smooth cover. RIP Taylor Hawkins 💔
This felt really good inside
This is soooo so good, absolutely in love with it borrows progressive rock melodies and sinks deep
excellent cover and the mixing
never disappoints....
Goose bumps 🥶
Love this.
Love it Greta! Love the song so much, and love your arrangement. I did a stripped back version a few months ago, hope you get a chance to listen to it x
Love it!!
i needed this today
Usually its a random team player like the drummer to be the MVP of the performance ...in this Friday's case totally the singer claiming the WIN.
Put this in all of the summer netflix movies, and then people will find it, and then find out theres an original. Blow their minds twice!! 😇
This is beautiful. Amazing mix as well. Use good headphones.
Beautiful rendition
killed it, great job
This was awesome
Great rendition of this. I also dig the fx on th guitars- at the like 1:00 mark or so the guitars for the verse have a hint of the halloween theme song
Top 5 Like a Versions of all time.
Nice!!! Completely made it your own
Was a bit nervous at the start but you lot smashed this out the park. Good result
lovely
Killed it.
Shot horizontally:)
Awesome twist on a modern classic.
Your voice is like marshmallows- airy, light and sweet. Great cover!
best cover of this song .
that was pretty darn rad
DAMN
Such a cool take on this epic song!!
great voice.
Well done.
banger
This was perfect and anyone who doesn't like it is going straight to the place downstairs.
Wow.
needs to get into hottest 100 of like a version please
wow
Hell to the fuck yeah
Great cover, unique and true to the original at the same time.
Nice, you are so unique.
I'd love to hear a collaboration with Dave
This is tough as shit. Awesome cover!
The person beside you fell for you
RIP Honey, our little dog princess died today. I dedicate this beautiful cover to her. She’s in puppy heaven now.
I feel like this version of everlong would end up in a David Lynch movie
The start reminds me of Vermillion Pt. 2 by Slipknot
I’m just gonna say it for him… Dave approves.
Eerily similar to an arrangement I'd expect from The Stills. Great track.
why am i dancing???
Fucking ayyyyy.
Good ass fucking cover
