Was literally just thinking this while listening. Love when Aussie bands don't try to hide the accent or use that neutral American sounding singing accent.
I hope this makes the general public finally wake up to the insane talent of sly withers- a band that has been hidden in plain sight for years.. Absolute sick one lads
Oh my gosh! Our dog died when I was younger and this came on in the car with my mum and sister not long after during a long drive and we all sang the awoooooo bit together and cried.
The start of the song "come up to meet you" took me straight to the day when i first met him.. He walked up to me and sat at my feet as a puppy and i said well i guess youre the one.. Then so many memories flooded in "you dont know how lovely you are, running in circles, chasing our tails, awoooo" how much life can you fit into one little dog.. Was a privilege and learned so much. Listening to this was very healing for me
Love this cover and am now a converted fan of Sly Withers. I am getting a Smith Street band vibe from the 2nd vocalist, but that's a win because I love them also
I'm a huge fan of the Smith St band and when I heard that second vocalists I got the same Smith St band vibe. The first vocalists i actually got Daniel Johns vibes from not just cos of his hair but because of his voice to.
There are few things more immediately satisfying, than seeing musicians jamming out to a song they're clearly passionate about. Some of my other faves*? - ANYTHING by Holy Holy, Glass Animals, Meg Mac, Tame Impala, or Aurora -Denzel Curry's "Bulls on Parade" -Ball Park Music's "Paranoid Android" -City Calm Down's Foals cover -#1 Dads' FKA Twiggs cover -Cub Sport's Billie Eilish cover -Lily Allen's "Deep End" -Bugs' Mallrat cover *Obviously, this is now on the list, too. It SLAPS!🙃
This! This is great. It's what Like A Version should be. Great current bands putting their own spin on huge songs from huge artists. There was a long period there where Like A Version seemed to be tending towards a massive circle jerk among artists that featured recently on the station. Illy, Hermitude, Gordi, Alex Lahey, DMA'S, The Beligerants; those were fantastic Like a Versions. Triple J, please trend that way and not just recycling songs on recent rotations.
I should also mention Art vs. Science's cover of 'Enter Sandman'. That was glorious. I mean, I would have loved them to cover 'And Justice For All...' or 'Master of Puppets', but I can appreciate the need to appease the audience.
My fave like a version ever was tegan and sara covering dancing in the dark. Not available on spotify but it was epic. Dma's cher cover better than the orginal too
@@ceemay3981 The Vanns also have done a cover of Dancing in the Dark which is excellent, though not for like a version. It's only on their YT channel I believe
My son has a condition called apraxia , it’s a speech condition meaning he doesn’t have a voice and won’t be able to talk without intense speech therapy. This song has just became out fighting song for our little man . Thank you
Ah 🥹 Good god. I live for the moments where music brings me to tears. This song is incredible initially, you guys took it to a whole new level. Spectacular performance, gentlemen. Thank you so much for this
I love the Aussie-ness streaming through the vocals. Nice take on a classic song, and unlike the original, is much less of a drag and much more upbeat. You got my thumbs up!
Good on you guys -taking our Aussie culture and accent to the rest of the world!!!! We're ingrained to be as down to earth and genuine as possible, no feigning or postulating, just there for the sound
Genuinely the best cover of this song I've ever heard... if not better than Coldplay themselves! Sly Withers... I hadnt heard of you before but now I shall do my research :)

EXCELENTE! Um dos meus videos favoritos! From Brazil! Thx guys!
Brave covering such a classic. You guys absolutely nailed it. Hottest 100 contender for sure. A new discovery for me. Look forward to listening to more of their stuff.
Holy Sickness Batman! This Grunge version is amazing. Now whenever I hear this song I'm gonna wanna listen to this cover... to hear it played properly. Outstanding cover!
I lost my soul mate, my one true love this was our song !!! Since meeting in our teens we could never be together just best friends, then years later when we could, I couldn't! It was never easy I fukn miss you MYMIT !! RiP TIM BAZLEY forever in my heart ❤️

I love that the accent is so clear in this cover.
Agreed, it's so good to have Australiana come out in music. Needs to be more popular because it makes us have our own unique genre.
It sounds fucking gross
@@jaydenjohns589 why
@@jaydenjohns589 Sorry I'm old. Gross means good right?

Those drums sound great. Props to the soundman.

Totally agree! Their voices!
They've definitely made some new fans from this performance, me included.

Love it when an Australian accent breaks through
If I imagined that an Aussie band were to cover this song this is exactly how I'd want to hear it, and now I can! Amazing!
Bravo guys. The harmony on the “take me back to the start” is chefs kiss. So good.
My dog passed away recently, the 'chasing our tails' part has me in tears.. Sly withers got a fan for life today

That dude in the dark green shirt has the most amazing voice
Sounded like somewhere between Tim Freedman and Will Wagner to me, really cool style.n

Dear Seattle - "the special two" is excellent as well
3:41 ugh. When these chords kick in, just pure eargasm. ❤️
Time for people to stop sleeping on Sly Withers. Dudes have been sick for years now.
for real !!!
Original's better
@@gulugul78 did i say it wasn't? Grow up Lawrence 😂
@@RallickNom 😆👍
Who’s sleeping on them?
This is talent is just unfair.
What a great band.
Much love from Switzerland!
I really love that snare leading up to the pause that totally makes this song.
Bloody incredible cover from a bloody incredible band. What a bunch of legends.
I absolutely LOVE Coldplay and this song. You guys rocked it! I love your personal flair you added to it!
I honestly haven’t heard of these guys before, but holy moly this like a version is amazing! Will definitely be checking them out 🤟🧡🧡
Album is out next week, hope you enjoy it!
check out their songs "explode into view" or "closer" they're my personal favourites
Truly jealous, I’d love to discover Sly for the first time again, one of the best bands in Australia right now
Same bro. Same.
James start checking out more Aussie music

Commenting at 6000 views but I think 5000 of those are from me. This is stunning. Absolutely stunning. Love you boys.
Could these guys sound any more Aussie ?
Great stuff
Love it !
Strewth!
Love it. I live overseas and I love Aussie music where the accent comes through so strong
I absolutely love that they have an authentic Aussie sound. We don't hear it represented enough in music
@@BrioneyElise Luca Brasi and The Hard Aches do a pretty great job at it
The bogan version
One of those covers that has me back month after month for one more listen, bloody great work fellas
Ah 🥹 Good god. I live for the moments where music brings me to tears. This song is incredible initially, you guys took it to a whole new level. Spectacular performance, gentlemen. Thank you so much for this

God, I love their voices. These guys are just gorgeous.
Going to look up Sly Withers entire discography 😍

You don't know how lovely you are Sly Withers - thanks for the Friday feels ♥
Julia stone you are made of solid gold. Please let nothing happen to this beautiful soul.
I love how melancholy all of Sly Withers songs sound
One of the best covers I've ever heard in my life

Well done mates!!!!
Fav like a version of 2021 for me. Listened to it on repeat while in quarantine after I flew home.
2:04 I’ve been waiting to hear you sing this verse my whole life . ❤
This is so good, original is a great song this puts a brilliant spin on it
Genuinely the best cover of this song I've ever heard... if not better than Coldplay themselves! Sly Withers... I hadnt heard of you before but now I shall do my research :)

Yep that’s bloody awesome. Well done guys.
The guy with green shirts voice is off tap good I sooooo like the cover
Outstanding performance guys. 👏
Sly withers most underrated band now for years. Closer alone sets them apart from so many other bands in this genre.
I wonder if the musical nod to "how's it going to be?" at 1:39 was intentional.
Big fellas vocals are absolutely killa 🤙
Aussie boys with guitars and a drum kit - slaying the original 💋
Wow these guys are brilliant. Got that Aussie indie rock sound and lots of energy :D
Love this band so much - great version guys
This is unreal, thanks so much you guys 🙏🙏🙏
the guitar and bass tone is blowing my mind
Just beautiful, absolutely love these guys!!!
young aussie bands are making waves right now.
Amazing Amazing Amazing Amazing Amazing
Sly Withers awesome as always
Absolutely freaking love it!!!!!
