It's 2022 and I'm here. I must've watched this video a 100 times straight just now. It's absolutely mind blowing. Jesus fucking Christ, I wanna live in this video. Thank you BLOF (which I've never heard before but I already love) and obviously Adam who is a god sent from music heaven to save Earth from all sorts of shit. Thank you.
I often return to this cover. The final refrain with Adam singing "there is a light" quite beautifully, against the crowd singing the full refrain, with the lighthouse circling in the background - damn near religious enlightenment level of music.
Het origineel van The Smiths is een de lijfliederen uit mijn jeugd, dus wat een verrassing deze versie tegen te komen, maar nu gezongen door de zanger van die andere band die zoveel impact had in mijn jeugd, Counting Crows, in deze prachtige Nederlandse versie van en met Bløf. Briljante samenkomst.
That is totally ok. the Dutch parts are pretty much a direct translation of the English parts. I know it has been 4 years since you posted this. But since nobody replied I thought I'd tell you anyway. I'm glad you like it :)
I'm American and don't speak Dutch, but I like this band. Great musicians and I like the singers voice. And Adam Duritz, does a fine job. Would love to see Counting Crows cover this song on vinyl.
13 years since I left nederlands... But hey this music keeps my smile... I wish Id never left... And counting crows... WOW.. Why arent they the best band ever in life ? Every song touches your life at some point... Lyrical genius... ♥
ITookYourName Zonde man van de upload. Ik wil deze versie met me bandje gaan spelen. Zonder diskrediet te doen aan het orgineel, dat zou zonde zijn. Maar ik zal het altijd proberen te coveren :p
Great performance of Adam Duritz in particular! Sure, you cannot copy the original, but you can recreate the picture and that is what he did together with the other great musicians. Hat off folks!
It is such a different experience to listen to the singing voice of Paskal Jakobsen, a Dutch singer, compared to the many actors speaking in the Dutch films that I love. I love this gentleman's voice. It also works so well with Adam Duritz's beautiful voice. The musical artists accompanying these singers are equally as wonderful. 🌸🎶
Ik vind The Smiths geniaal, vooral dit nummer met Johnny op de gitaar, maar ben ook groot liefhebber van Adam, The Counting Crows en Bløf. Ik vind deze mashup op zichzelf dan ook erg goed. Mooi samenspel.
I’ve loved this song ever since I played it incessantly while studying for the Bar exam back in 1987 and I love this version. I love the German parts even though my 9th grade German is not quite up to the task.
Well, in summer half of the province of Zeeland is German, so I understand this confusion. But as said, this song is in Dutch. So it's got nothing to do with your 9th grade German. 🤣
Well arranged, and magnificently sung by both vocalists. Adam's chorus in particular (1:08-1:40) rivals the Smiths' studio original in my estimation. Until I found this, I hated every cover version of this song I ever heard - and every live version (Morrisey or otherwise). Thanks BLØF & Counting Crows.
I still think this one isn’t too great, I don’t like the fact that it’s partially in Dutch, it’s weird to hear it in my own language.. I’ll always prefer the smiths performing it themselves
True, but some of them may not be especially familiar with the song, and those who do know and love it are experiencing the novelty of different artists singing it - and partly in Dutch. So, incredible as it may seem, I think what we're witnessing here is people actually paying attention to a (very competent) live musical performance. Amazing, I know. And they do respond reasonably enough when the BLØF guy invites them to sing the line towards the end. I find it quite reassuring that you can still find concerts to go to where you don't have to leap about moshing dementedly to prove you're enjoying yourself!
De nederlandstalige vertaling van Bluf, inclusief arrangement van de zangpartij , de uitvoering en de intonatie is gewoon zonder respect en begrip. Het is een zo mooi nummer. Luister naar wat er wordt gedeeld met je en probeer niet alleen een tekst te vertalen. Stop met de uitvoering tot je dit nummer begrijpt.
Ik denk dat maar weinig artiesten in de buurt komen van Morrissey's geniale teksten. Toch vond ik het een mooi moment toen ik er was, dat twee bands die ik tof vindt een nummer van mijn favoriete band speelden. Maar ik ben bang dat er weinig Smiths covers zijn die het origineel eer aan doen...
Gast, ik heb net het origineel gehoord en na een minuut weer afgezet, wat een verschrikkelijke bagger. Deze versie is toch echt wel even een stuk beter.
@Moira Bokstijn I appreciate that but just think English is the universal language ,,we should just stick with that ...very confusing all these other languages...just my view.
@Moira Bokstijn English is without a doubt the actual universal language. It is the world's second largest native language, the official language in 70 countries, and English-speaking countries are responsible for about 40% of world's total .English can be at least understood almost everywhere among scholars and educated people, as it is the world media language, and the language of cinema, TV, pop music and the computer world. All over the planet people know many English words, their pronunciation and meaning.

Have you yet heard them sing Holiday in Spain together? It is hypnotizing! I think the same concert..................
I’m the same. I always come back to this video. What an amazing collaboration.

I really really love this. Excuse my ignorance, I can't understand anything except for the English and yet I really enjoy the non-English parts.
That is totally ok. the Dutch parts are pretty much a direct translation of the English parts. I know it has been 4 years since you posted this. But since nobody replied I thought I'd tell you anyway. I'm glad you like it :)
@@tkitsz Thanks for the reply brother/sister.
Yes, there is something about it.
I'm American and don't speak Dutch, but I like this band. Great musicians and I like the singers voice. And Adam Duritz, does a fine job. Would love to see Counting Crows cover this song on vinyl.
What is the vinyl you mention?
Adam Duritz singing the Smiths. That's about as good as it gets
Fuckin’ A.
Amen. My second favorite band covering my favorite band.
And the Bløf guy coming along and singing him into the ground. This is amazing.
Take me out tonight, cause I wanna see people and I want to see light - and in a pandemic, Adam you remind me of the miracle of art.
This is some of Adam's best live singing in the entire history of the band!
Ik weet niet of ik eerder een reactie heb gegeven, vindt blof hier goed optreedt, maar adam duritz steelt wat mij betreft de show 👍
13 years since I left nederlands... But hey this music keeps my smile... I wish Id never left... And counting crows... WOW.. Why arent they the best band ever in life ? Every song touches your life at some point... Lyrical genius... ♥
This is not their song
Het is wel zo netjes te vermelden dat het hier een cover van The Smiths betreft...
ITookYourName Zonde man van de upload. Ik wil deze versie met me bandje gaan spelen. Zonder diskrediet te doen aan het orgineel, dat zou zonde zijn. Maar ik zal het altijd proberen te coveren :p
Maakt niks uit dit is de mooiste versie
De originele versie blijft het mooiste van the smiths zelfs, niemand speelt het zoals Marr, en niemand zingt en danst zoals Morrissey
En niet eens zo’n beste, eigenlijk is dit rampzalig
cover? een heel slap aftreksel is dit gewoon.
Hearing Adam sing this reminds me why i waa obsessed with Counting Crows in middle school
HOW DID I MISS THIS.
How is one of my favourite bands (counting crows) covering one of my other favourite bands! I’m in love
My Favorite Song ever... thanks .. great 👍❤
What incredible scenery for a concert!
Great performance of Adam Duritz in particular! Sure, you cannot copy the original, but you can recreate the picture and that is what he did together with the other great musicians. Hat off folks!
It is more than wonderful how well this song translates after all these years

Incredible..
This is so good! My new favorite Dutch band! (:
Two amazing voices in perfect harmony. Has Adam ever sounded better? Love the brilliant drums driving this forward.
One of my all time favourites in yet another cover version- and how very well done! Thanx✌🏼
Great cover and great drummer!
ik hoor dit nu echt voor het eerst, ECHT KIPPENVEL!!!!
Fantastic performance 10/10

Spectacular, brilliant!!
Amazing tune...amazing cover...amazing place & view
blof blijft een geweldige band geniaal gedaan!
This is superb. Perhaps they'll release it on a live album or compilation someday. Here's hoping it's safe to travel by Concert at Sea '22.
Well arranged, and magnificently sung by both vocalists. Adam's chorus in particular (1:08-1:40) rivals the Smiths' studio original in my estimation.

Thanks BLØF & Counting Crows.
this is so cool! i wish i'd been there
Absolutely beautiful 🌹 well done everyone ♥️♥️
thank you.... the smiths where the group of my youth.... this song and cover is superb.... god bless
There is a light that never goes out
No sabia de esta banda blof, y encima con countin crows
Quedo una joya ese duo y el ultimo minuto es para sentirse ahi mismo 😍
Wauw! Op de muziek van Bigmouth strikes again van the Smiths!!! Één van my favorites👌🏼😎 Love it so much!
Nee het is There Is A Light That Never Goes Out
Great remake for the Smits .Brilliant ❤️🌸
Simons ik zie t elke keer 👍👌👍
Beautiful performance!
Hey! Dit liedje ken ik nog niet! Wat een heerlijk liedje, geniet ook zo van Adams stem.
Awesome
Amazing!
chills
Outstanding
Great track!
Well done
Amazing. Pity this is not available on Apple Music.
Such a good cover! One of the only covers of this song on YT, which I think is good; so many other shit covers of this song. Nice one!
Not bad at all. The drummer is the one who’s really driving the feel - good delivery from all. Nice
יש אור שאי אפשר לכבות ✌️✨⚡️
❤🎼
❤
Prachtig
❤👍
im fiipino but ths version givs me goosebumps
Dit was een zo gaaf #cas momentje TOP! 2016 weer :)
Heeft Bløf een nieuwe gitarist???
Niiice...
I don't know what Butterbean is saying but it sounds wonderful
Niet best vertaald maar wel goed vertolkt
Du kenns alles zingen du bis ummer tse jik 👍🍻 ja jullie verstaan het wel
A Song for someone, that i didn't find...
Love Adams voice so much!! Just not when he does that "talk"singing like he tends to do live
Represent... Dub Nation!
Not a massive fan of covers of The Smiths’ songs as I usually think they are rubbish, but this is great
I still think this one isn’t too great, I don’t like the fact that it’s partially in Dutch, it’s weird to hear it in my own language.. I’ll always prefer the smiths performing it themselves
madelief honnef yeah re-watching it, it isn’t great. It’s good but not great
Jason Corr i know !! I mean no one can play like marr and no one dances like morrissey,, so covers are always mehh
Anyone got a tab for this version?
raestad I have one, I can share it if you want
love, this almost makes me like Morrissey
Goed gebracht zuiver
Qué idioma es?
Holandès
Delícia de música...
"Eeeeer is een nicht dat nooit uit zou gaan"
Wilhelm Dietz triest!!😉
Vernederlandsen brrr
The crowd look so lost as to what they're listening to lmfao you've got like 1 guy bobbing his head a little that's it

Je moet wel bluffen om zo’n band als de Smiths te coveren. Maar inderdaad goed gelukt💪.
Rust zacht Andy Rourke😢mooie cover!!!!

Niks overtreft de Smiths.
God wat een zure opmerking dit
The Smiths. But these guys did it better!
Een goed nummer maar Paskal hoor je wel over al boven uit en krijgt ieder een ook mee
O wat erg dit...Heiligschennis!
Nee, moet je niet doen.
Pity they do not perform in total English as the majority of the audience is English literate ..but still very good no less.

Wtf! TSBT
Vind Blof een geweldige band,maar dit kan echt niet!
@Superpiair1 maar gewoon een liedje? wtf. Dit is het beste popnummer ooit geschreven
In everything. Can't match the Smiths version.

doomer nation
This cover is so cringy to hear in dutch... 🙄

Vreselijk
Beautiful
