This isn't a terrible cover, but to be honest no one can cover this song and do it justice. I've heard atleast 100 covers and none have made an impact. This is Sias song. She is the only person on this planet that can sing this song with the emotion and power that it deserves.
I've always wondered why singers drop their accent while singing and (as im not a native) whether it was deliberate or it just happened, possibly due to the vowel stretching that occurr while singing...well now I know it's deliberate and, finally see why it is so.
Their accent is one of (too many) reasons why I love this band. Actually, I don't like when people try to hide their accent while singing. Why should anyone do that? It's how they sound and that's okay! I know many people think it sounds strange but they don't need to listen to this. Enough people do, though. And I don't know many bands that are as great live as Twin Atlantic :-) Btw, to me, Biffy sound very Scottish! Not as strong as TA, maybe, but you can hear it very clearly! :-)
Also, for people saying he can't hit the high notes properly: you clearly haven't heard him sing on 'Your Amazing Lying, Lion, Lie In.' His voice is damn impressive on that!
Much prefer this version to the original. I'm confused at people complaining about the accent though; he's Scottish. What do you expect? Not all singers lose their accents when they sing, look at the Proclaimers. I, personally, love hearing someone sing in a Scottish accent and I think they pulled off this cover excellently.
You don't like his accent because you speak english... as an italian I don't find that so bad, it doesn't hurt my ears! ... I really like the way he sings :)
People whining saying he's trying too hard to sound authentic. Listen to 'You're turning into John Wayne'. I'm sure he's said in interviews it was about this exact thing; He knows their accents are strong and he's not bothered, nor does he think people should be judged on it.
Rosie Wilson "He make it so much more....biffy are sound more.." what sort of english is this? and no they don't. If you like this cover then fine, but don't have a go at others that don't.
I agree. his voice could be really good for this song but he is kinda speaking the words rather than singing them. (I'm Scottish so it's nothing to do with the accent)
You think this becuase she actuslly mumbles the words in the song so it sounds strange fully pronounced (e.g i thought that it said 123 1233, 123 1233, not 123 123drink) also +Neil Griffiths that first comment is harsh, im Scottish and that slightly offends me
Party girls don't get hurt Can't feel anything, when will I learn I push it down, push it down I'm the one "for a good time call" Phone's blowin' up, they're ringin' my doorbell I feel the love, feel the love One, two, three, one, two, three, drink One, two, three, one, two, three, drink One, two, three, one, two, three, drink Throw em back, till I lose count I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist Like it doesn't exist I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night, feel my tears as they dry I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier And I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down won't open my eyes Keep my glass full until morning light, 'cause I'm just holding on for tonight Help me, I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down won't open my eyes Keep my glass full until morning light, 'cause I'm just holding on for tonight On for tonight Sun is up, I'm a mess Gotta get out now, gotta run from this Here comes the shame, here comes the shame One, two, three, one, two, three, drink One, two, three, one, two, three, drink One, two, three, one, two, three, drink Throw em back till I lose count I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist Like it doesn't exist I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night, feel my tears as they dry I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier And I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down won't open my eyes Keep my glass full until morning light, 'cause I'm just holding on for tonight Help me, I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down won't open my eyes Keep my glass full until morning light, 'cause I'm just holding on for tonight On for tonight On for tonight
I love how music can split opinions so much... Personally I love this cover and I love how he sings with his accent as I tend to not really like the Scottish speaking accent but it sounds better when singing personally but that's just my opinion.... Hate on haters
No. Everyone has their own individual accent. You should stay true to your own and not fake one. I'm fed up of British artists and bands faking an American accent and I'm pretty sure it would sound ridiculous and it would annoy people if an English person sang with this accent. Sam's accent is naturally Glaswegian.
+Hannah Ross What's up with you? That is exactly what I said. I only said british since scotland is part of britain...right? I am sorry if dont recognise which part of britain they come from but English is not my native language.
+Hannah Ross Obviously. But I meant for all british and also irish accents. I think they all sound really nice. I never get mad when people just mistake my language...
People saying don't sing if you can't hit the high notes obviously don't have the musical know how to realize he's singing in a lower key as to which to he hit the notes well and his accent is incredibly broad anyway and to the people saying the band is shit I don't think they would top the rock charts on a regular basis if they were
I woke up to this and thought for whatever reason that they were doing a cover on Bullet for my Valentine Hearts Burst into Fire and that Matt Tuck was th dude in the middle.
+Dean Steel I'm English and I love the accent. I don't know what people are getting bent out of shape over it for. If people don't like covers to sound different from the original, they shouldn't listen to covers. That's my view anyway.
I love them, they make me proud to be Scottish :)
I'm not big on Twin Atlantic but the fact they stood up for their accents is irresistible \o/ Good cover!
Beautiful
PREAAAACH
Love this cover! Stop complaining about his accent, he's Scottish what do you expect?!
Sam's a beautiful human being and his accent is one of the sexiest, most adorable things I've ever heard❤❤❤
Twin Atlantic are a Glaswegian band, so you're going to hear a strong accent in the music. I think it sounds great
I'm from the USA and I have no idea who these guys are but they are amazing! I now have to find out more!
LOVE TWIN ATLANTIC FOR DEAR LIFE!!!!!
So Scottish,
Much wow
I'm Scottish :/
Im quarter scottish
Jbn Dodd me too :) Go scots! !!
:P, 31 likes on the comment :P :D ty

Im loving it just because of their scottish accent. That is what makes this so much better :) I love this version 1000 Times better then the original.
im english and love twin atlantic been seeing them twice this year fantastic band...i always tell my mates they are gonna be huge...they will be :)
His accent may be strong, but holy shit the words are actually recognizable.
"WUN DO TREE WUN DO TREE WUN DO TREE" -Sia
this literally doesnt even sound like he's saying the word tree... it is so obvious that's he's saying three ;-;
I love when people actually sing in their own accent instead of in the typical American one
I love that accent so much
refresh that he keeps his accent unlike most that sing with an american accent.
How long has that cellist been playing...?
There was some craziness going one with that left hand.
really love this cover sounds heartfelt to me
This isn't a terrible cover, but to be honest no one can cover this song and do it justice. I've heard atleast 100 covers and none have made an impact. This is Sias song. She is the only person on this planet that can sing this song with the emotion and power that it deserves.
Couldn't agree more!!
Check out Sara Bareilles's if you haven't already. She gets it.
Dan Devine check out too Coco Jones,is perfect!
Dan Devine yeah fantastic
Bullshit. Check out Sara Bareilles cover, it's better than the original
Personally i like this cover...
R u Scottish aswell?? :)
Nope im not
Aidan Taylor I agree completely, seeing as this was a live recording and there was no editing done to it. It's as good as it gets in terms of a cover.
I love this his accent is amazing!!
this is an epic cover. I gotta check out this band
I love this cover in a way refreshing and gives a good buzz :)
i absolutely love this cover, and his accent too. actually prefer this one over sia's even though her's is really good too
YES I only heard the actual single a couple of days ago (shameful, I know) but the first thing I said was 'I like the Twin Atlantic version better' xD
AMAZING cover!!!!
I've always wondered why singers drop their accent while singing and (as im not a native) whether it was deliberate or it just happened, possibly due to the vowel stretching that occurr while singing...well now I know it's deliberate and, finally see why it is so.
Love them!
BRILLIANT
Fantastic and unique
Loved it.... Great Scottish accent🌹🌹
Love Twin Atlantic :) really liked this cover guys xxx
Love it! The cello just kills it (in a good way:-D)
that accent shining through makes any song they do worth while. stay true, lads!
bludy perfect cover, his accent in this song is amazing
sam's accent is really an acquired taste. personally, i love it.
also, barry & his cello
even better than when I saw them live, so good!!
Brave and strong . We all deserve to enjoy life .
Such a good cover! 👏👏
love it.
I loved it. Thought it was brillig.
That accent shining through was my favourite bits.
I didn't know this song needed a Scottish accent but I'm glad I finally saw the light.
kinda obsessed with this cover
I can understand why there are mixed opinions in the comment section, but I quite like this cover - and I really love the accent
In my opinion even better than the Scripts version. Really well done
For some reason, I love his accent on this
Nobody can sing this song better than Sia
I think the accent coming through differentiates his voice and makes them stand out from the crowd, works for me
Chandeli 👂🏻
I always hear Chandeluuuuu xD
I was even hearing SEAN-DELL-EAR!!!! :) :) :)
Awesome!
Just beautiful! I love the accent singing, it's real instead of false London boy or American accents. Hello repeat button!

Btw, to me, Biffy sound very Scottish! Not as strong as TA, maybe, but you can hear it very clearly! :-)
Amazing👌
ooo his scottish accent shining through makes it even better
I love his accent. Simple !
Ameiiiii! Lindooooo
Also, for people saying he can't hit the high notes properly: you clearly haven't heard him sing on 'Your Amazing Lying, Lion, Lie In.' His voice is damn impressive on that!
I love u so much
Love it ♥♥♥
Such a gd cover, can't get enough of it. Mon the scots haha
Super! I like it.

You don't like his accent because you speak english... as an italian I don't find that so bad, it doesn't hurt my ears! ... I really like the way he sings :)
MaryNelChaos what's being italian has to do with the song
as a bolivian, it doesn't hurt my ears too.... 😂
People whining saying he's trying too hard to sound authentic.
Listen to 'You're turning into John Wayne'. I'm sure he's said in interviews it was about this exact thing; He knows their accents are strong and he's not bothered, nor does he think people should be judged on it.
He's from Glasgow of corse he has a strong fucking accent. Like 99% of us do😂😂
No one will ever do it better than Sia' but its still a good cover' dig his accent
I feel like that could have been a really good cover, but his scottish accent really goes against his singing.
You're right, it ruins a brilliant song. Most Scotch singers don't sound quite this strong eg. Biffy Clyro sound more american than Scotch.
He make it so much more unique and are you kidding biffy are sound more Scottish than American man, come on get a grip
Rosie Wilson "He make it so much more....biffy are sound more.." what sort of english is this? and no they don't. If you like this cover then fine, but don't have a go at others that don't.

Party girls don't get hurt
Can't feel anything, when will I learn
I push it down, push it down
I'm the one "for a good time call"
Phone's blowin' up, they're ringin' my doorbell
I feel the love, feel the love
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
Throw em back, till I lose count
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier
I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist
Like it doesn't exist
I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night, feel my tears as they dry
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier
And I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light, 'cause I'm just holding on for tonight
Help me, I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light, 'cause I'm just holding on for tonight
On for tonight
Sun is up, I'm a mess
Gotta get out now, gotta run from this
Here comes the shame, here comes the shame
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
Throw em back till I lose count
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier
I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist
Like it doesn't exist
I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night, feel my tears as they dry
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier
And I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light, 'cause I'm just holding on for tonight
Help me, I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light, 'cause I'm just holding on for tonight
On for tonight
On for tonight
I love it, it's a standard cover and this is how he sings
like a shanndeli- eaaarr!!
Brilliant! :)
I actually really like this, and I like how his accent sounds in it. It is no way near as bad a cover as so many of the comments are suggesting.
i was playing a game with music in background i put my earphones back in to this xD
I liked it
Good cover...vrry brave
i find this better than the original, despite the accent. This is really good!!!!!
Katrina Walsh What do you mean "despite the accent"!?! Nothing wrong with it!
No one should ever dare to cover this song. Only Sia could pull the song off.
Exactly no one can do it right
I love how music can split opinions so much... Personally I love this cover and I love how he sings with his accent as I tend to not really like the Scottish speaking accent but it sounds better when singing personally but that's just my opinion.... Hate on haters
the accent is awesome xx haha
I like it. I feel like it's closer in style to the original than The Script's cover
I would love this song if this version was the original one.
That moment when a cover is better than original song >
VOTE YES
The Music was made to break the barriers and here people making the barriers of accent.. though a good cover..
I actually love the accent. More bands/ singer from Britain should try to sing in their accents!
No. Everyone has their own individual accent. You should stay true to your own and not fake one. I'm fed up of British artists and bands faking an American accent and I'm pretty sure it would sound ridiculous and it would annoy people if an English person sang with this accent.

+Hannah Ross Also I meant everyone should sing in their own accent...so whatever part of britain they come from.
+grimy89 there are big differences between Scottish and English accents. It's annoying when people label them as British.
+Hannah Ross Obviously. But I meant for all british and also irish accents. I think they all sound really nice. I never get mad when people just mistake my language...
I love the accent lol it's cute
The Scottish (even maybe just west Scottish) accent in music, is an acquired taste, like liquorice, I personally love liquorice.
Let's be clear, Sams voice is an aquired taste and if you don't like it just leave and get off the video
Lol love it
Nice
I really like this cover :) he's a good singer and they're a good band but it really comes down to preference since you can hear his accent.
I love his accent
People saying don't sing if you can't hit the high notes obviously don't have the musical know how to realize he's singing in a lower key as to which to he hit the notes well and his accent is incredibly broad anyway and to the people saying the band is shit I don't think they would top the rock charts on a regular basis if they were
I woke up to this and thought for whatever reason that they were doing a cover on Bullet for my Valentine Hearts Burst into Fire and that Matt Tuck was th dude in the middle.
If he wasn't ill when he sung this it may have been a little less nasally..........
Can this be a bonus track on the new album please?
OMG, that Scottish accent is gonna kill me...
I was listening to this the other day whilst driving...did you make the lyrics up as Yi went along .
his accent is so cute when he sings
Amazing but I think that no one can beat sia other than Brendon Urie
his accent is so hot
I'M LAUGHING SO HARD
it sounds cool with a Scottish accent
English people hating on the Scottish accent as per usual.
+Dean Steel I'm English and I love the accent. I don't know what people are getting bent out of shape over it for. If people don't like covers to sound different from the original, they shouldn't listen to covers. That's my view anyway.
+Callie Weylin very true!!
I'm English and I adore the Scottish accent!
wher's the explosion on the chorus without that its nothing
Am i the only one who likes this?
