This is a pretty good like a version and the last ones where not that great tbh. but not sure if the best of 2021. My favs are JK-47, Hope D, Tyne-James Organ and this one... not sure what's the best one of this.
First time I've heard the song covered & first time I've heard Gretta Ray sing. She owned the song clearly with joy. C'mon Dave.. get this lass up on stage for a duet!
Her voice has such a beautiful clarity to it. This song strikes straight to my soul every time I hear it and this cover really does it justice - I was not ready for that crescendo!!!
One of Australia’s best voices singing one the best songs from one of Australia’s best bands. Cannot go wrong with that combo! Loved every second of this! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Winner! I have loved Gretta since she won Unearthed High. Love her voice, the production was excellent, band was tight and I love Gang of Youths. Winner, winner, winner.
Keep coming back here. Everything about this - her, her voice, the reverb, the airy-ness. It's all so beautiful. Love Gang of Youths and its great seeing up and comers already covering them.
Saw Gretta on the Woodford programme and this was my first thing to find of hers. Just incredible vocal control and a beautiful retelling of one of the best GoY songs. So keen for her show
Genuinely my favorite song.. ive hunted long and wide for worthy covers; and this is right after the gang of yourhs triple j live version.. amazing job.. much love

Goddamn, do you fear me tonight? Ah, pass me a light Ah honey, pass me a light Won't you feel me tonight? Goddamn do you feel me tonight? 'Cause not everything means something, honey So say the unsayable Say the most human of things If everything is temporary I will bear the unbearable Terrible triteness of being
Watches whole video, fondly remembering that time I saw Gretta live... Hang on, she was in the process of touring the States with Gang of Youths. Makes sense now!
Loved this cover. Searched for Gretta afterwards and found out that I already heard her song "Drive" a while back on soundcloud and was hoping that she would get more attention :)

It's got nothing on the wiggles cover
This is a pretty good like a version and the last ones where not that great tbh. but not sure if the best of 2021.
My favs are JK-47, Hope D, Tyne-James Organ and this one... not sure what's the best one of this.
This is still one of my favourite covers! Gretta is one-of-a-kind.
That cymbal steady grab at the end of that held note right at 2:05? Chills. Oh my god.
I’m am the biggest fan of gang of youths and she sings it with so much care it’s done superbly love Gretta ray my girl dosent disappoint 😁👊🏾
First time I've heard the song covered & first time I've heard Gretta Ray sing. She owned the song clearly with joy. C'mon Dave.. get this lass up on stage for a duet!
she actually toured with them and they had her sing this and joined her!
@@meganking2205 That's epic. Would have been amazing to see live.
This is a bloody beautiful cover of an amazing song! Gretta Ray killin’ it
Her voice has such a beautiful clarity to it. This song strikes straight to my soul every time I hear it and this cover really does it justice - I was not ready for that crescendo!!!
Greta is always so clean and pure and honest-sounding. So so so suits the raw and unbound sounds of Gang of Youths. Beautiful!
Japanese Wallpaper in the band? hell yeah!
Wow. Watching the growth of Gretta over the past five years has been so rewarding. From Triple J Unearthed High winner to the powerhouse she is today.
One of Australia’s best voices singing one the best songs from one of Australia’s best bands. Cannot go wrong with that combo! Loved every second of this! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Holy crap the way it just picks up towards the end and crescendos sent chills down my spine it's so good

She needs to more music in this style COME ON!!!!!!!!!
What a beautiful voice....and the drummer being so present made it feel even more great
Towards the end when they were both smiling and straight up vibin was great
Genuinely my favorite song.. ive hunted long and wide for worthy covers; and this is right after the gang of yourhs triple j live version.. amazing job.. much love
Just discovered Gang of Youths and this song stood out to me and what an amazing cover. Thanks Gretta!
Goosebumps
As someone who holds the original near & dear to my heart, this was absolutely incredible. Thank you times a million for this.
Love how she put her own spin on this incredible song. Big thumbs up, Gretta xx
Would froth for a Dave Lepepe/Greta Ray duet of this song
Omg yes I was just thinking that
She said that he features on one of her new songs
ugh fuck yes
Your wish has been granted 👍🏽
They did it in Sydney last noght
This has captured me for over a month now. Not sure what it is but it's got a certain magic to it. I didn't even know who she was till I heard this
gretta ray has such a clean and powerful voice, its incredible! gives me shivers
i've watched this on a loop for like, 2 hours no joke
Beautiful.
This gave me a big ol' case of the soul shivers!
Same
“Soul Shivers” I love that! Such an accurate way to describe that feeling 🥰
There' just so much great talent in this world of ours.!!!
Bloody brilliant! Wouldn't expect anything less with Gretta and Gab collaborating. Just perfect.
Just fabulous
One of my fave female artists singing one of my fave songs!! An absolute, perfect rendition that gave me chills!
Man, this is just incredible. Gretta looks so to be truly enjoying herself too. Wholesome content.
I just listend to other stuff from her and she should def. do more songs like this.
Fit's her voice very well.
2018, I took my son to see Mumford and Sons in Brissy. Gretta opened….THANK YOU!
Lyrics:
There's a sky full of lights
And none of them stars
But each white, silvery flicker's
A faithful reminder to us
Of a weight that's in youth
That makes a dick of us all
If it happened today
Then it's probably happened before
In a crowd unfamiliar
I just wanna touch a familiar face
And make friends at the parties I've feared
The likes of an age
To be wanted with truth
And make formidable love
See light in myself
That I see inside everyone else I know
It's not a lacking of spine
Nor of physical pulse
It's just a feeling of distance
Akin to a feeling of loss
Of love in the youth
Of my limited life
That passed in a violent
And ritual screwing inside
And the years unfamiliar
Are made of increasingly digital days
And I am grieving the loss of myself
With frightening malaise
When there's weightless in youth
And the sum of it's small
Just stand in the darkness
And laugh with your heel on its throat
'Cause not everything means something, honey
So say the unsayable
Say the most human of things
And if everything is temporary
I will bear the unbearable
Terrible triteness of being
Alone in my house
Frozen in time
But don't get me wrong now, honey
I am trying
There's a warmth in the eyes
And a clearness of thought
When the deepest of sighs
And the frankest of shadows are gone
We're pushing a stone
Up a mountainous waste
And the lines at the store
Look like lines on a beautiful face
See, I'm not so assured
Nor unusually strong
Or outstandingly brave
I'm more just fumbling around in the dark
For the bulk of my day
When there's weight that's in youth
And the sum of it's small
I will stand in the darkness
And laugh with my heel on its throat
And not everything means something, honey
So say the unsayable
Say the most human of things
And if everything is temporary
I will bear the unbearable
Terrible triteness of being
Alone in my house
Frozen away
But don't get me wrong now, honey
I'm okay
Ah, cast me a line
Ah honey, cast me a line
Won't you fear me tonight?
Goddamn, do you fear me tonight?
Ah, pass me a light
Ah honey, pass me a light
Won't you feel me tonight?
Goddamn do you feel me tonight?
'Cause not everything means something, honey
So say the unsayable
Say the most human of things
If everything is temporary
I will bear the unbearable
Terrible triteness of being
This makes my heart melt.
this is genuinely the best LAV i've heard in forever
ugh this came up on my feed again from last year and it gets me everytime. that build up
