The gettyimages watermark really completes this video
I was thing the same!! hahaha
Right!?! Was tripping on that 🤣
Am I right to beleive they do not need to pay royalties since they included the watermarks?
Can it get more punk?
@@davedavito would be cool, but I doubt it :D
@@davedavito yes, this is how it works, you are allowed to use it for free with the watermark (its advertising)
I absolutely love that the entirety of the video is unpurchased stock footage with the watermark still on it. This is cinematic gold.
The hilarious thing is that that they almost certainly actually bought the footage, and deliberately used the watermarked version for the aesthetic.
Why bother? Can use it with watermark for free🤣
This is possibly the best thing I've ever seen, and I've seen a LOT of things.
They also could have shot it themselves and put the watermark on it.
It´s like "everything is ruined" faith no more videoclip , except they made it that way due to lack of money
To me, the best part of this cover is the chord change after "never gonna let you go". In the original, it returns to the major home chord, but this version goes with a minor chord. It adds a brief sense of foreboding to the track, as if there is a momentary sense of doubt, a sense that this "dream" relationship is doomed to fail. It's subtle; it's completely on brand for the Viagra Boys - and it's brilliant.
Matt Sweeney produced this cover. He also recorded a cover of OD’d in Denver (original by Hank Williams Jr) with Bill Callahan and Bonnie Prince Billy that also adds a little emotional complexity to the song. Worth checking out.
Wow!! Your interpretation and the manner you put it in scripture, pays homage to this piece of genius work in a fashion it so deserves.
sound work here and mixing is out of this world.....and that minor chord yeah......makes differense!!!! i love it
@@ryanmcqueen3576 I don't know a major chord from a minor chord but I know exactly what you mean and totally agree.
That was brilliant
This is such a gem of a song...brilliant...to be played at rough and ready weddings, on road trips and dazed in the bath!
We NEED a tiny desk concert from these guys!!!
Dynamite 🧨 LIVE
d'accordissimo!
The Tiny Desk vibe is way too twee for these dudes.
The Idles were awesome!
I can barely imagine him smoking... something, the sound level and the pounding base in there..
Ben is still the coolest guy on the planet... So sayeth the internet...
Idles Tiny Desk - th-cam.com/video/wMehItNQKAA/w-d-xo.html
One of the best British post punk bands.
this is essential
A Swede and an Aussie paying homage to the king of dive bar ballads. The land is healing ❤️🩹
Cali tho
Even got to my cold Texan soul
The guy is a Yank. He’s lived in Sweden since his mid 20s. Well I guess that makes him a Swede too.
@@Garrett1240 Sebastian has a Swedish mother and American father. He speaks Swedish without the slightest accent and has lived here since age 17. Very much Swedish I'd say.
@@entitybreathing Fair enough I read that he moved to Sweden in his 20s.
Amy is the perfect choice for this duet, pure gold.
I think it is my favorite cover ever
I just checked her band stuff. Brilliant fit.
@@41BOT is her band Amyl and the Sniffers?
@@KyleBenzien No. That one is her twin sister. Same name also.
@@KyleBenzien Amy Taylor is a goddess, imo, also powerhouse💥 perfomer. Definately must see the Sniffers LIVE!🍻 You will not be disappointed. 👍
This is the best cover to do John prine justice to date
An American folk hero.
Rip JP.
My dad is a huge old school John Prine fan and he would probably hate this, but I like it
Going to that minor chord right after "Never gonna let him/her go" was a stroke of genius.
100% got me! Great comment
@@lukedavidjones6125 Thanks! It totally changes up the mood. You're singing along, thinking it's gonna loop back like John Prine's version, but then the minor chord comes in, and you're like, "whoa, what was that?" I love it when bands make little changes like that in their covers.
@@colina1330 Just a little touch of magic when it hit.
Yup. It literally makes the song.
Literally
COWBOY PSYCHEDELIA IS BACK I KNEW THIS DAY WOULD COME!
Who's the OG for cowboy psych?
@@tvtitlechampion3238 Lee Hazlewood is the OG for sure. Listen to Phaedra and you'll get it.
Nah quit playing dawg
The difference between her facial expressions singing or non-singing, with that eery guitar kicking in. Absolutely fantastic
1:30 he's about to start singing in the wrong moment, love this!
She does the same during the last chorus.
Terribly cute.
Oops. Never mind.
We all knew mixing Amyl and Viagra was a good idea, this just proves it.
Briliant.
These people know how to have a good time.
Chase it with a shot of Jaeger.
*golf clap*
my husband and i have agreed that this song, this specific version, is now "our" song.
Nuh uh its mine and muh baby's song lol
it’s my song with my dovey!!! 💕🕊️
Stop the internet, we have perfection.
Its a cover of a song by a man called John Prine. I didnt know either. A damn fine cover in my book, but worth a look at the original. Im a convert.
@@user-pq2mu5xc2x John Prine is one of the best singer/songwriters ever. highly reccomend looking into his other songs! :)
That unexpected chord shift makes this song haunting in a way that would make it a prime candidate to be included as a soundtrack song in some yet unproduced future Wim Wenders film. Absolutely brilliant.
Speed dealer shades country boy is definitely a look.
Pretty sure they are safety glasses too, got the same ones in my toolbox...
@@clapadamclap got them in my car haha
This is actually just Bakerfield, CA aesthetic.
Thats just how the Birthday Party bass player looked like 40 years ago.
Speed dealer country boy is just speed dealer
The change to relative minor on "let her go" is gorgeous. Love the mix of Amyl+Viagra weirdness with a beautiful version of this song.
Yes! Fell in love with the same part(E Minor). I just played the original to see if it was in that and it wasn't.
That was my favourite part too. Gives it such a cool feel
Totally agree, everyone. Exquisite chord change.
I love it, it adds like a kinda melancholy/strange/haunting feel to it.
I didn't know what it was called - but I knew that chord-change was the reason why I can't stop listening to this
When you take a journey, unsure of the destination and find somewhere amazing every time. Today I landed here. What a beautiful place.
I love the way Amy works the camera here - brilliant acting and a great voice.
I like how the ending lingers. Like watching the glow of your neighbor's house burn down while sipping on a cold glass of water. Tastes like a pair of jeans...
Correction. Tastes like someone else's jeans.
take your music nerd bullshit someplace else!...............joke bruv thought the same thing
@@patrickroberts29 chill out, Patricia.
@@waltersobchak2540 was a low blow
this comment is amazing.
I love how she even sings "sundee" rather than "Sunday". She isn't trying to hide her accent like so many singers from here do. She's embracing our horrible accent and it makes me want to cry with joy.
im from canada and i love an aussie accent! nothing horrible about it! :)
The ozzie accent together with the Scottish accent is fucking great.
@@emily-gh9ox thanks for the compliment! Much appreciated. 'Sundee' is very much the Victorian way of saying Sunday so I figure the whole band is Victorian. Their clips are all filmed in Melbourne. Ps. I really like the Canadian accent. It took me years to differentiate it from the American accents but it sounds so much friendlier, much warmer and welcoming.
@@tdb7992 Thank you for the complement! There are subtle accents all over the country but much more noticeable when you live here i think, some are friendly some are not. Very interesting about the Victorian way of saying things.. My mom and late grandma always say Sundee rather than annunciate the full "Sun- Day" as well.. and Saturday is Sare'dee Lmao . Not sure why and I dont notice it with a lot of other canadians.
💓from tejas
This is one of the realistic genuine love songs ive ever heard. Its pretty profound
John Prine wrote some bangers for sure.
It’s a cover :)
these are my favorite kind of covers where the artists put there own twist on it without taking anything away
The genius of John Prine, one of the best songwriters of the last 30 years.
@@michaelanderson5747 Prine and Townes Van Zandt are way underrated.
Never thought I'd see a John Prine song covered like this...good job! RIP John Prine....
I was born and raised in Nashville, and I'm declaring this best Country Song of 2020. This deserves a CMA Award.
I’ll take your word
its a cover. they covered it because the og singer died, he was great
No one born and bred in Nashville doesn’t know John Prine
@@Garrett1240 correct! i do know john prine, and i knew this was a cover. sorry i didn't explicitly state that in my comment a year ago. i also know about many other artists and songs, but full disclosure: not gonna list them out here right now.
I didn't know who John Prine was until I moved from Nashville to Boone, NC
I'm telling my kids this was Sheryl Crow and Kid Rock.
i thought it was.
LMAO
😆
Hey why not
Please don't. These two deserve better!
One of the greatest covers of all time. Period.
Such an interesting take instrumentally, yet the vocal melody is true to John Prine’s original. So good.
Rest in peace John Prine. Thank you for writing such an inspirational song. Fabulous cover..
john prine's writing skills were something special
I just listened to this 15 times in a row. Thanks TH-cam for recommending me this masterpiece.
one of the best love songs ever
This is the most damn romantic song I've ever heard in my entire life. I think I'm about to cry.
I hope I' ll live a love story like this....
John Prine is a lyrical master, what's to say man
@@jonasbrm yep
My thoughts exactly
Adult swim: 👀📝 “write that down! Write that down!”
No shit!!! Lol stole this ENTIRE esthetic.
@@dalekay9ine can you explain?
What did they do this time?
Can't stop replaying this.
In my entire life this is the only thing I have ever seen that has made me remotely proud to be an Australian. It's also a good song.
The darkness of the chord that hits after "I'm never gonna let her\him go" gets me man.
Sebastian, Texas Ranger
protect us
its the imperfections that make it perfect
This is the darkest, most romantic, and the most crackhead song I've ever heard. I love it! 🖤🖤🖤
Prine john
Finally a good comment
had the same thought haha
yeahhh🤣🤣🤣
These two are *When you have a perfect match on Tinder*
so this is gonna be on repeat for the next 5 years
i think i have played it 64 times since it came out like no joke
Yeah I’m trying to stop playing it but I can’t
I play it at least 10 times a day for the last week ..love it
every sundee without fail!
i friggin love this!
I wish they would do a whole album together!
That would be awesome!
word up !!!
What a hauntingly beautiful song...and Amy you are amazing!
And an as cute as all fuck and an Aussie with a bunged on deep sout' accent!
An excellent cover of 'In Spite Of Ourselves' by John Prine RIP (1946-2020).
I dig it, John would have been good with it imo
Dude.... Love punk hate country but live un texas so yeah... But check out bloodhound gang "a lapdance is so much better when the stripper is crying" its the only thing running through my head beyond this song when I hear country!
Im 48, and I've liked Underground music like Punk and Alternative since I was 14. But for some reason I'm always pleasantly surprised to find others that love the same things as me. Because of troubled times I guess... This really made me Smile more than it should've. Two of my current faves... Along with The Real Surfbort... The Black Lips, Idles...
This is one of the best covers I've heard in forever...hope these guys do some more tracks together.
Hands down the best duet I've heard like ever. I love how Amy is beaming here! The instrument tracks are right up my alley. I'm an odd duck living in the deep south of the U.S., I'd love it if Amyl and Viagra would get over this way sometime.
Don't you love her accent?
Hell yeah brother!!
@@jeremybeckett6 really good Appalachian twang for an Aussie for sure -- and the same damn charm!
@@waylandharley6823 Be great if they came to NOLA or at least Atlanta for me. I'm near Pensacola.
@@NateBuker that's how she always talks, it's a very broad Aussie bogan style accent.
I was having a really rough morning. 3 month old baby, university finals, an overly stressed spouse, my impending mental breakdown, facing a Holiday without seeing my family. Having my two favorite bands of the year come together to create something like this got through all the mess and made me smile. From the bottom of my heart, thank you all. This is what art is for.
Feel you bro got a year old baby myself and another on the way . Plus my spouse is super stressed lol you’ll get through it 🤣
Keep at it! You're valid and loved, my fellow internet stranger. Good luck on them finals.
stay up brother u got this
Hope things have gotten smoother since
You’re doing university finals and you’re only 3 months old???! Impressive!
damn that's a spooky NIN chord that hits right after the chorus run. pretty sick, gives me chills
glad I wasn't the only one who spotted that!
It is a standard Em 2 fingers.
Better than any New Country song in the last 25 years!
Whatever. Have you even listened to Hank III?
@nativeeurope1299 Can't say that I have. Hopefully he sounds more like his grandfather than his lame-ass dad.
I love how, despite being a love song about togetherness, she exits frame very early and we're left with homie just being alone.
A song that accurately conveys the feeling of two smackheads in love. Beautiful. Belter of a tune.
save for the fact that John Prine (nor Iris DeMent) were 'druggies' by a long shot. This song is more like a lovesong between two very poor people (monetarily) who are not poor of spirit.
@@LauraRamirez-zd3il I think they talkng about the tone of this cover
@@LauraRamirez-zd3il Like getting that check after a long hard week, you and the missus are just glad to be alive and love.
Savior Joe will see to it everybody lives in poverty. He also sees to it drugs pour over borders. Get your digital ID. Everybody is doing it. With that said. I love this cover. New fan of V Boys and I will be seeing them in Detroit in a few months. I get Nitzer Ebb crossed with stooges vibes. Love it.
Fuck that is so correct
The wholsomeness of this video is just cranked up to the max.
Amy and Nose Man really smash it with this one. Love that nefarious undertone the song has. You can see them clinging on to each other to stay balanced while singing this on karaoke in a redneck bar before driving home under the influence.
RIP to the great John Prine! Cool cover!
This was randomly suggested two weeks ago… never heard of them, thought it was an old vid, first look, played it, thought wtf?! But played it a 100 times.. to understand what the fucks happening here?! Lol , his voice blew me away, her energy fascinated me… so discovered Viagra Boys… and Amyl and the sniffers! And OMFG both incredible!!!! And so fucking excited that music this incredible and bands are surfacing!!! Literally know all the words to this song! Girls and boys and sport and Guided by angels off by heart! I’ve tore the arse out of their previous music!!!
Thanks TH-cam algorithm! You actually did a blinder here!!! Xxx
This came up for me too about then. New to me as well.
@@Anaris10 fabulous! 😁
Welcome to the party
AMyl and the CHaps (2 aussie bands) have saved punk rock. Its a big claim, i know, but listen to Chaps "6 L GTR" AND Amyl "Gacked on Anger" and I would be suprised if anyone does not come away feeling the same (about them saving punk rock)
@@fedayeentaqx9956 Gacked on Anger is hard!!! Love it! Will listen to the Chaps! Thanks! 👍🏼
This is my favorite song right now. I don’t know how an Aussie and a Swede managed to do Texas better than anyone else in the last several decades since this song was originally made, but this cover is a straight up masterpiece. Cheers, babies.
Yeah seb isn’t a swede he’s American, just been living in Sweden for a couple years
@@todddarcy oh ok, that’s wild! I didn’t know that, thanks!
@@todddarcy Wait he has lös tattooed on his forehead and he's not swedish? xd
@@todddarcy I was always confused because he's almost treated like he's a swede but his accent made think wth?
@@todddarcy Viagra Boys are a Swedish post-punkband from Stockholm.
The band was formed in 2015, with several members coming from the bands Les Big Byrd, Pig Eyes, Nine, Nitad, and Neu-Ronz. In 2018, they released their first album, Street Worms. Nils Hansson, a journalist at the newspaper Dagens Nyheter described the band favorably, praising their musical style, as well as their use of black humor and satire, and rated the album a five out of five.
But you are right. The lead singer is born in USA.
Sebastian Murphy
Born: San Francisco, California, United States
Amy is so charismatic on camera.
She is the main character of life
Love the mid 90s vibe here. Love both bands. Imagine this music on your FM dial ? Thank god for yt to dig for real music.
I'm blown away by Amy Taylor's country drawl. Who'd have thought that the current queen of hardcore punk had an inner Patsy Cline?
She grew up in a shed. It’s in her blood
Queen of hardcore punk is pushing it lmfao
Hardcore punk is not a monarchy, more like anarchy.
My family has this exact table cloth on their back porch. The fact that she's wearing it as a dress. Is the deepest representation of southern culture. Truly a masterpiece y'all have made. Cheers
It's called "gingham" it's a very old and common pattern for fabric. You're still right though.
This is among the best things I've ever heard in my life
word
As a newer fan of the Viagra Boys I've (watched) listened to this songs dozens of times in the past few months. Everything is amazing from the stock videos and especially Amy. I was at a friends house last weekend and she had a country mix on and I heard the original John Prine version. I had no idea it was a cover (despite the "In loving memory of John Prine" in the description. Such an amazing cover of a song I never knew existed.
Craig, don't know if you ever listen to any of John Prine music but do yourself a life long favor and listen to anything he has done I mean anything...He is that good...trust me once you start listening to him you will love him.
Great cover, Amy's accent definitely adds something you don't often find in American country music.
This is what my childhood sounds like filtered through the haze of my PTSD
Epic. 😂
LOL nice
Damn
Like a warped record playing on a turntable stolen from the AV club storeroom
Damn lol
Ok that hat alone has sold me..
I used to sing this song in bars back in 2011. This is a pleasant twist on the more cheerful tone of the original. Bring me more
I think John would be proud. This made my day!!
Love Amy Taylor!
She's like Debbie Harry if Debbie Harry was an autistic millenial.
she cute
Coolest girl in the universe right now
she got a really good rehab-aura
@@fruff30 Like Blondie but a mad max version
they pushed a regular country song to a whole new level! Amy's voice suits it well!
I’m not sure when or how I came across this video but I immediately fell in love with it and both Amyl and Viagra boys all in one move.
One of the best videos and versions of this song ever ... absolutely brilliant! I love you Viagra Boys and Amy!
Oh this song will be a. Forever Song.
I honestly cannot stop listening to this.
How has this been out for like 2 years and I'm just seeing this now? Amazing
RIGHT HERE!!!...Two of the most underrated artist in the world today.
I would like to thank the TH-cam sidebar and Getty Images for bringing this into my life.
I love how this instrumental is extremely tense and they could be singing about something political or existential but instead it’s just a weird but charming relationship
John Prine sure was a special kind of poet alright.
She takes a licking she keeps on ticking
This got recommended on Spotify ages ago and I've been playing it so often, love it. The algorithm just popped this into my YT timeline (immediately after watching some Mongolian Metal band!) so now I get to see who they are. Nothing like I expected. Love the groove of this.
I really love this. Never heard of either performer but I'm here for it.
Those Gettyimages stamps... that’s collector.
Goddamn, this is good. Romantic yet weirdly eerie and uncomfortable. And the video makes it feel like it could've been introduced by Phil Thomas Katt.
Yeah, there is a menace that comes at the end of each "I'm never going to let him go" that turns it into something more foreboding then the Prine song - - for me, it's what makes the cover.
@@kylehetrick2791 Not to mention the completely un-melodic background noise which stands out like a sore thumb (and it's great).
@@viljamtheninja Agree 100% - - love that sore thumb!
Yes. Mark Gormley style.
I love this song but the line "she takes a likin'" isnt lost on me, very clever song and worth a few watches.
Saw them at Coachella 2022. The only mosh pit I’ve ever seen at Coachella since I started working it in 2017. Met the Viagra Boys at catering tent before their set. Priceless.
One of the most romantic songs I've ever heard.
I love John Prine, Amy Taylor/ Amyl, and Viagra Boys. What a combo.
Love the Gettyimages watermark
My best friend told me that's the song that makes her think of us. I'm so happy. Been together 10 years so far and I'm never gonna let her go.
Happy for you my man
This is so romantic and I cry almost everytime. More love songs like this!
This feels like a hellish fever dream, and I mean that in the nicest way I possibly can.
This is the international super group that we didn't know we needed! Viagra Boys + Amyl and the Sniffers = Some Mutts Need Baseballs and Cigarettes ....
Yes, and yes.
If they toured together it would be a must see.
Some large mutts, just in miniature size.
Saw them back to back at a street fest in 2019. Was great.
Short shorts
Anyone who loves Prine is okay by me!
post-modern paradise by the dashboard lights... perfect
Love the darkness of this version
this is a masterwork, been listening to it the whole day long
Exellent! This cover is f….. great in every possible way! RIP sweet John Prine!
I can't get this song of my head
One of the sweetest sanest things 2020 has offered up. Captured the spirit of this John Prine classic.
Amy Taylor is completely sinister in this one, when her smile disappears and she stares directly at your soul
Honestly, it's just complements the eerie atmosphere of this cover
Amazing stuff
I want to hear this in Joker 2.
Best John Prine cover ever! ❤️
