I swear, so many complain that the covers are "too similar to the original". Then when an artist actually uses Like A Version as an opportunity to make a song their own and actually switches it up, people hate because its "too different". Wtf guys, get over yourselves. Mad cover, I think.
I saw Jamie T live in Newcastle last night. He was amazing. All in honesty, I think this is a brilliant cover, I think changing the melody is inspired and it really works, and the bossa nova guitar goes perfectly with her vocal style.
I really love her version of this. I think her interpretation of it is awesome! I'm glad they film them as well, it's nice to be able to watch artists sing. Adds so much more expression and meaning to what's being sung.
I much prefer lisa's cover to the original, but whether you prefer the original or not, musically the cover is great and you have to give credit for doing such a different angle on it. i don't get the point in covers which offer nothing more than the original sung by someone else.
Exactly! it would be good if genres of all kinds did covers to one another's music a rock song into jazz, instrumental, into metal, or something soothing. Why doesn't it always have to remain to 1 type???? Experimenting with music and doing covers only opens up a door for new fans who would have never listened to the original country or rap or sock song.
i've loved the original for years but this is such a cool take on it, it's crazy how different the tone is!! this sounds like it should be on a movie soundtrack omg
I have not heard the original but I must say I really enjoyed this version the guitar playing was excellent and Lisa such beautiful voice and her self just such a natural woman just gorgeous down to earth .
I didn't love that, but that's why music is so great, there's so much variation in expression and it's never going to appeal to everyone. Very interesting take on a great song. Keep it up Lisa.
Can we all remember a the fact it's called LIKE A VERSION not a fucking cover, if you play the exact same thing as the original that'd be shite. MY music teacher preached that the whole point of music is to express yourself your way not someone else's way. SO she or anyone can play/cover a song however the fuck they want.
Rian Smith Yeah, great philosophy... but you probably wouldn't hesitate to rip into some other artist if they completely butchered one of your favourite gems. I'm reporting this "version" to the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity.
Lisa Mitchell Albury's very own Lisa Mitchell has joined StopAdani! The indie singer-songwriter is one of our region's biggest stars. She and other musicians will converge at Binbee in Central Queensland from October 24th-27th to show support for Frontline Action on Coal’s work opposing the Adani Carmichael mine.
Hi, I really loved this guitar too, I did some research to find it a few months ago. It's Lisa's guitar, I'm pretty sure it's a Gibson J-185 sunburst (not sure what size, this is all I know). I remember looking it up because I wanted to buy one of my own but unfortunately I don't think Gibson sells them anymore :( I ended up getting a Yamaha LJ16 ARE, I'm very happy with it. it's similar looking to the one Lisa Mitchell has. www.musoscorner.com.au/lj16-are-acoustic-electric-guitar-brown-sunburst Hope this helps :)
My love, she sees apart from me, possessed behind the eyes Apart from the frighting, the moaning the biting he seemed to be a nice guy And I know what she thinks when she looks at me, when she looks with such despair Well you're not the only one around here, who needs a bit of fresh air Cause I'm a sad sad post teen Caught up in the love machine No dream, come clean Walking like a zombie (like a zombie) And I'm a cold train, fast lane Caught up in the dirt rain No pain, no gain Walking like a zombie (like a zombie) I got blood shot eyes, and there's blood in my teeth I got a ripped up jacket and a friend who's a thief I gotta prophet at the mouth, tryna put it out But the fire inside keeps burning, burning out Chorus... Hold your own in the situation, don't be afraid to be a friend. Cause I wont hurt you, girl or leave you a loose end You make me alive enough to love again Chorus...
Man the internet is full of hate. No surprises I like this bossa nova spin on zombie. What I don't get is the vitriol at an artist having artistic liberties on a cover.

She looks like she's in serious emotional pain the entire time she sings this. I don't know if it's either really connecting with the song and doing it the justice she thinks it deserves, or she's just remembering something terrible that assimilates easily with this track. Either way it delivers a pretty emotional performance, her voice even wavers in some parts.
Covers aren't supposed to be compared to orignal, music is supposed to be interpreted by whoever is listening to it... thats why Artist A delivers it differently to Artist B... everyone needs to chill, music means something different to each individual, no ones better than anyone, relax.

Mad cover, I think.
cot its really depressing!!
and shit
IM IMPORTANT!
Cover smashes the original
I actually love this...She sounds like she's in a dream, which kind of suits a Zombie mindset. She did well. Kudos.
How did this not make the top 100 like a version's????
I melted through the floor.
she has really come into her own & developed as an artist...love her sound, interpretation so much light & shade - love it
Love this version, so beautiful. Lisa Mitchell is an amazing artist & her voice is entrancing.
wow has it really been this long?
I love this cover every time I hear it
I just remembered this cover its sooo sweet I used to listen to it all the time as a teen...can't believe its been 7 years
i listen to this whenever i need to cry or feel anything. thanks ms Mitchell for your service 🫡🫶
She has quite a soothing voice.
I'm in love, I love Jamie T and Lisa makes this sounds so beautiful.
i could hear her voice all day
This was really beautiful. Listening to this while it's pouring outside was something special. A great like a version!
Holy shit. Goosebumps.
I saw Jamie T live in Newcastle last night. He was amazing.
All in honesty, I think this is a brilliant cover, I think changing the melody is inspired and it really works, and the bossa nova guitar goes perfectly with her vocal style.
It does not get more beautifull than all of this.
I really love her version of this. I think her interpretation of it is awesome! I'm glad they film them as well, it's nice to be able to watch artists sing. Adds so much more expression and meaning to what's being sung.
That girl looks positively other-worldly,.... elvish almost.
Awesome cover!!! One of the best Like a Versions in ages.
Been listening to this for months now. How did she interpret this from the original? That's a musical talent alone. But a voice. Love it!!
after a few listens, I started to like it a lot more. Excellent voice
I'm yet to even hear the original and this sounds absolutely bomb to me.
Just heard the original on the radio, I prefer this version
Yeah don’t bother, i love this song and heard it girst and then looked up the original. The original is just garbage.
Most underrated artist out there
Holy shit that was awesome.
It's covers like this J'ers live for, soooo incredible.
Such a lovely voice I hope we will hear more from Lisa in the music world
I much prefer lisa's cover to the original, but whether you prefer the original or not, musically the cover is great and you have to give credit for doing such a different angle on it. i don't get the point in covers which offer nothing more than the original sung by someone else.

Lisa you're so calming I love it, looking forward to your upcoming album ;)
Holy shit I love her
I for one Love this cover
i've loved the original for years but this is such a cool take on it, it's crazy how different the tone is!! this sounds like it should be on a movie soundtrack omg
I have not heard the original but I must say I really enjoyed this version the guitar playing was excellent and Lisa such beautiful voice and her self just such a natural woman just gorgeous down to earth .
beautiful voice thank you Lisa xxx
Never heard the original but really loved this so somber, so well I don't think I'm literate enough to put it into words anyways loves it
I love the inflections in her voice so pretty
I didn't love that, but that's why music is so great, there's so much variation in expression and it's never going to appeal to everyone. Very interesting take on a great song. Keep it up Lisa.
So lovely
her voice...wow!
Pls release on spotify!
This is so awesome. Bring back the bossa!
Lisa is my dream gurl
Wonder what she was thinking of at 4:35
haha i wonder too
"Uugh, what will I eat for breakfast tomorrow?.... -_-'
.... pancakes
Cats with bells in a paddock.
Lisa Mitchell is so lovely
Enjoyed Lisa's version of this song. Peaceful...
Much prefer this to the original. Great rendition.
Really nice, she has a beautiful voice

So bloody good
This is gorgeous!!

I remember her on Austalia Idol
Mesmerizing.

Love you Lisa!!!

Rian Smith That's why it's better to write your own songs rather than sings covers and get shit over it.
Rian Smith Yeah, great philosophy... but you probably wouldn't hesitate to rip into some other artist if they completely butchered one of your favourite gems.

Music starts at around 1:10 friends. Also like WOW how she is using that cow bell!
I love her. Simple as.
I love this, sounds like a song you'd hear in the elevator.
She is such a dream
huge fan of Jamie T, i do prefer the original but i did enjoy this. I wish she just added a bit more to the chorus
this cover actually made me a fan, her voice is amazing.
Two of my favs from say 5 years ago. I wished she had picked a song from an earlier Jamie T album.
I prefer her cover over the original, lol.
Can someone tell me what type of guitar this guy is playing? thanks (size etc)

bop of the century / millennium / all time ever
The comments are so harsh here. Can people just ignore the originals when they hear covers. It's the artists own take, why do you think it's a cover
Starts on 1:18
I love Jamie T's sound but this was a great and ambitious take on the single.
1:17 for start of the song.
My love, she sees apart from me, possessed behind the eyes
Apart from the frighting, the moaning the biting he seemed to be a nice guy
And I know what she thinks when she looks at me, when she looks with such despair
Well you're not the only one around here, who needs a bit of fresh air
Cause I'm a sad sad post teen
Caught up in the love machine
No dream, come clean
Walking like a zombie (like a zombie)
And I'm a cold train, fast lane
Caught up in the dirt rain
No pain, no gain
Walking like a zombie (like a zombie)
I got blood shot eyes, and there's blood in my teeth
I got a ripped up jacket and a friend who's a thief
I gotta prophet at the mouth, tryna put it out
But the fire inside keeps burning, burning out
Chorus...
Hold your own in the situation, don't be afraid to be a friend.
Cause I wont hurt you, girl or leave you a loose end
You make me alive enough to love again
Chorus...
1:17 through 1:27 is just 😩
Man the internet is full of hate. No surprises I like this bossa nova spin on zombie.
What I don't get is the vitriol at an artist having artistic liberties on a cover.
This is awesome 🤟🏻❤️🤡💯
I can't get over how beautiful she is
literally marry me, saw her live, best day of my life lmao
love it! what are the chords?
wow.
wow
, she sees apart from me
Possessed behind the eyes
Apart from the frighting
The moaning the biting
He seemed to be a nice guy
And I know what she thinks when she looks at me
When she looks with such despair
You're not the only one around here who needs a bit of fresh air
Cause I'm a sad sad post teen
Caught up in the love machine
No dream, come clean
Walking like a zombie, like a zombie
And I'm a coal train, fast lane
Caught up in the dirty rain
No pain, no gain
Walking like a zombie, like a zombie
Well, this old place here, man it's falling apart
She's on the road as she goes, but she won't get far
I'm on a show to parole to the toad in the hole
I gotta grow me some roots, I got a prop at the bar
I got blood shot eyes, and there's blood in my teeth
I got a ripped up jacket and a friend who's a thief
Well I'm a frothin' at the mouth, tryna pull it out
But the fire inside keeps burning, burning out
Cause I'm a sad sad post teen
Caught up in the love machine
No dream, come clean
Walking like a zombie, like a zombie
And I'm a cold train, fast lane
Caught up in the dirty rain
No pain, no gain
Walking like a zombie, like a zombie
Hold your own in the situation
Don't be afraid to be a friend
Cause I won't hurt you
Girl or leave you a loose end
You make me alive enough to love again
Cause I'm a sad sad post teen
Caught up in the love machine
No dream, come clean
Walking like a zombie, like a zombie
And I'm a cold train, fast lane
Caught up in the dirty rain
No pain, no gain
Walking like a zombie, like a zombie
Cause I'm a sad sad post teen
Caught up in the love machine
No dream, come clean
Walking like a zombie, like a zombie
And I'm a cold train, fast lane
Caught up in the dirty rain
No pain, no gain
Walking like a zombie, like a zombie
PLEASE! someone can tell all the chords?
people who criticize this cover are selfless wrong doers
She looks like she's in serious emotional pain the entire time she sings this. I don't know if it's either really connecting with the song and doing it the justice she thinks it deserves, or she's just remembering something terrible that assimilates easily with this track. Either way it delivers a pretty emotional performance, her voice even wavers in some parts.
wow O.o
Smashed the original... Nice!
she's so sweet and beautiful
Covers aren't supposed to be compared to orignal, music is supposed to be interpreted by whoever is listening to it... thats why Artist A delivers it differently to Artist B... everyone needs to chill, music means something different to each individual, no ones better than anyone, relax.
What is the name of the boy on the guitar?
His name is Tim Harvey, I'm pretty sure. He's not known enough to come up on Google though
Thank's
same lyrics but very different impact. This cover helps you comfortably fall in love with the song.
very nice -good guitar -Lisa vocal smooth-sweet-sensual.
More catbell..sadistic laugh..i love you Lisa!
does anyone know the chords? :)
very nice v nice
the instrumentals may sound like elevator music but her voice really makes it
Has Janis Ian all over it!
Holly shit, my soul just flew away from my fucking body.
I didn't like this at the start, By the end it grew on me :) Good job Lisa Mitchell
much prefer this version
lol, anyone get the "more cowbell" reference? XD
