For once a cover where it is sung correctly in the manner stuart sang it. I know alot of people want to to there own thing but if you dont sing it like Stuart sang it on this particular song sorry it just wont sound right. BTW this is the best cover version ive heard so far.
Standards and Practices. The whole album is covers. Originally this song was a Japanese release bonus track released on the bands imprint of Vagrant records. I think Vagrant released it, later, but I don’t know if the bonus tracks were on the re-release.
This is a good cover. The best outside of Mike Peters version from the Alarm. This one puts a fresh spin on it and the vocals are far superior than Dashboards and Moe's.
Impossible song to cover, pat on the back for anybody who has a go, ........The reality is if any single element of the original is missing, then its destined to fail,,..
Excellent job guys. Big Country are one of those bands that alot of people would like to cover but due to their unique sound not many try. To cover their most famous song as well as you guys have is a big thumbs up from me. Pleasure to listen too
@sailintonothing i say it was better than dashboard confessions, cause you could actually hear the guitar that sounds like a banjo. the part that goes(dun duh dun duh dun, dun duh dun duh dun) plus the part when they sing the hook "in a big country (duh dun duh dun duh) things stay with you (duh dunduh dun duh). you could bearly hear that in d.c.'s version.
I'm with you on that TheColdMask, this is a sweet cover and I'm having trouble finding a place to download it as well. Any help would be much appreciated.
This is the only cover of the song that doesn't butcher the song by straying from the original sound or suffers from horrible audio quality like live versions do.
Been a fan of face to face for 32 years. I'm catching in Vegas this weekend with Flogging Molly. Cheers!
Never thought I would hear those riffs so faithfully reproduced.
Stay Alive, boys.
So many years later, damn, damn good cover!
Brilliant cover done with energy and sang the correct way, great riffs
Bloody hell, this is great. And I'm not really a "covers" guy. Perfectly simple and faithful, and an iconic song with massive lyrics.
I love face to face AND this song! how'd i miss it???
Amen to that! :-)
Stuart stays alive in all his songs!!!
I love this song so much and I love hearing covers of it. Awesome job.
My fave song of all time. Nailed it...rock style.

This is the best cover...
Lol I was curious if there was punk covers of this and major tom coming home, found out face to face did both
good cover because they stayed faithful to the original...
Face to Face do the best covers.
Fucking Wonderful!!! 😍
Absolutely
maybe I am biased b/c I'm a huge Face To Face song but I think this version is much better than Dashboard Confessional's...
WOW!!!!!!! GR8!!!
Encore! Encore!
i like this one more than dashboards but nothing touches the original
Great Version.
Great cover! FTF 4EVER!!
awesome version
Wonderfullll
Good cover…they cover Don’t Change by INXS really well too!
no need to compare,.. every great bands have their own style,.. original sounds,...
SHEA HUT!

Sorry, no
Totally awesome!!!
Hardest song in the world to cover but very enjoyable version - captured the energy awesome
Facts
Sleeping Satelite, IMHO, is harder.
What an unreal cover
i am a massive big country fan and this is a great cover well done face to face
Live on stuart... he would be proud of face to face.

Great instrumentals, great vocals, great homage to a great song. thanks
BC fan for 35 years , great cover.
Never heard this before today one of my favorite 80s songs & 90s bands, goes well together

Excellent job guys. Big Country are one of those bands that alot of people would like to cover but due to their unique sound not many try. To cover their most famous song as well as you guys have is a big thumbs up from me. Pleasure to listen too
the best song in the world!

Nostagia dos anos 80 👍👍
Great version. Well done
Love the vocals!
Love the guitar sound on this!
The best cover of this song I've heard by far. Looking for a legal source to download it but having trouble. Any help?
This sounds almost better big country themselves. very very tight performance and true to the sound. They captured everything.
@sailintonothing i say it was better than dashboard confessions, cause you could actually hear the guitar that sounds like a banjo. the part that goes(dun duh dun duh dun, dun duh dun duh dun) plus the part when they sing the hook "in a big country (duh dun duh dun duh) things stay with you (duh dunduh dun duh). you could bearly hear that in d.c.'s version.
Gear version. Put it up in spotify
Nailed it. Even has the slow fade at the end.
I'm with you on that TheColdMask, this is a sweet cover and I'm having trouble finding a place to download it as well. Any help would be much appreciated.
great cover
Love the guitar tone, it sounds like a Mesa Tremoverb
Ace job!!!! This song is Will prof -pos to the testament
of man!!!!
One of my first live concerts at 12✊ back in 92
CLASS
God bless Ukraine 🇺🇦🙏❤🙌♥💖🇺🇦
Great cover!
For our brothers in arms
Keep the day jobs
so good:)))))))
SHOCK!!
LOVE this song!
In my opinion bro Face to Face and Dashboard butchered this song. The original is by far the best.
wow - well done
I really enjoy this cover a whole lot, and love face to face, but the punk in me prefers Down By Law's version.
A good version of a great song
This is the only cover of the song that doesn't butcher the song by straying from the original sound or suffers from horrible audio quality like live versions do.
Good job guys!
