I just found this and I’m completely obsessed with it and I cannot stop listening to it. As far as cover songs go, I think this is one that is a complete improvement over the original. The emotion in this version feels like they lived it and then wrote it.
I LOVE Cage The Elephant & their original "Spiderhead", but this cover of the song by Grouplove takes me to another place when I listen to it... IT'S ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!
When I think about it, it's totally natural that Grouplove would be able to take a good crack at a Cage The Elephant song. They've got that same emotional resonance, the same type of musical construction. It's a really good match. I don't know why I was nervous going into this.
I am the one you left for dead, You are the bullet in my head, And as you stand over my grave, You pause the lips upon my face. Either I'm in heaven, or I'm in hell, Am I losing my mind, yeah, ('Cause I can't tell) I've been waiting for answers for way too long, Seems I'm always waiting around. [Chorus:] Spiders in my head, spiders in my mind, You may take my eyes, but baby I'm not blind, It all works out in time, You know I'm gonna be alright, You may take my eyes, but baby I'm not blind. I think your mother wants me dead, (Say you wanted to) I am a schizophrenic man, (Ah) I wouldn't change you if I could, (Say you wanted to) You treat me good, I play it cool. [Chorus 2x]
Before it was blocked in my country i would hear this song that was played on triple j radio. Before they played this song they had a johny cash version of their hit single at the time which was very delightful tolisten to.
This cover is such a twist to the original. I love it. And for the people who hate the cover for some reason I don't know. But you guys and gals need to know music is experimental and diverse. Being a singer/bass player in my own band I should know this. And I actually did a cover of this song with the type of indie rock style grouplove did and because of this get of there Butts.
I’ll be honest, I don’t like grouplove, and Cage The Elephant are literally one of my favorite rock bands. But grouploves version of this song is so much better lol.
I don't really like this one because its too slow and I liked the guitar in the original also they changed a lot of the notes in this one that don't really appeal to me.
eww they the took the standout sound of spider-head and turned it into typical indie rock bullshit, i am pretty big fan grouplove but good covers are supposed to add complexities to songs not generalize and simplify them
7 years later and I am still coming back and listening to this. It’s just so damn good!
THANK YOU for putting the song in it's own video, was getting tired of skipping ahead to it in the video haha
same
same
Same
Same
Sure it's nice but this person is just farming work other people actually did...so there's that.
Craziest part is this is done live, amazing cover.
I'm a HUGE Cage fan and I've found myself listening to this version even more than the original.
SPOTIFY THIS PLEASE GUYSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

*Say you want it too
I really don't get the hate on this cover I thought it was a great revision on a a great song
I couldn't agree anymore.
Everette Haire agreed, love this cover ❤️
this is an excellent take at this song, unbelievable

The male vocalist reminds me a little of Jeff Mangum of Neutral Milk Hotel.
So much soul
Beautiful

I like the cage the elephant 🐘 original and its got its own chill vibe about it but this cover by grouplove 😘 bloody rocks 🤟🏻

Still listen to this on a daily🥲
Yo conocí está canción por Grouplove y me acostumbré tanto a su versión que me cuesta asimilar la original. 😅
Love it..

I'm very confused. I really enjoyed this cover. they took a great track and put a different spin on it. textbook. oh well. thumbs up here
GOAT
I love cage the elephant, but I love this version more than the original. Obviously they have mad respect for CTE's work.
Did not care for this band at first listen...
I heard this on like a version, and thought hang on, there is summat here.
Now I'm in..cheers
Thank you so much!!! I love this cover so much. If you have an mp3 version that sounds really good email it to me please
My god; this is better than the original! I am a huge Cage the Elephant fan, so this isn't just smoke for someone's ass. lol
The real MVP, sadly it took my 5 years to find this song...
Mencaaaanta

James Ickes no the fuck it’s not
Queen Vienna I agree it’s a beautiful version but better than Cage’s? Nah

I’ll be honest, I don’t like grouplove, and Cage The Elephant are literally one of my favorite rock bands. But grouploves version of this song is so much better lol.
same exact opinion.
Hi
This is a good cover, tf are you guys talking about
everyone has their own opinion :)))))
I- WHAT- NO. 💀
I don't really like this one because its too slow and I liked the guitar in the original also they changed a lot of the notes in this one that don't really appeal to me.
eww they the took the standout sound of spider-head and turned it into typical indie rock bullshit, i am pretty big fan grouplove but good covers are supposed to add complexities to songs not generalize and simplify them
+handyman646 wouldn't really call grouplove's style typical... they kind of have their own thing
The original song is a mess.
This is god awful
I like both these bands but this cover is horrible.
Honestly this is such a disgusting version of the song.
Megan S honestly wtf were you listening to? This was great
The original is a disaster, honestly.
Could they have made a perfect song any worse?
GREAT BAND but terrible cover lol
