@@colinzeal524 idk man I hear like ten different bands on the radio everyday who emulate that nickleback rasp. Also countless pop/rnb with the Christina Aguilara growl while they sing lol
As a Foals fan I haven't heard any covers of their songs which really added something. I didn't know this guys but they did a great job by respecting the original song in their cover. Great band with a great singer. Will definately follow them. Greetings from the Netherlands.
This comment isn't intended to be edgy or in other words; overly emo but I think it's worth noting that I've been taking pretty strong Anti-Depressants for over a year now and my since my dosage has been increased I've noticed I don't get goosebumps when listening to good music any more. I've been looking to build a new playlist to try and get some stuff that gives me the feeling of awe but couldn't find anything until I found this video. Seriously shivers all around my neck, and arms I definitely feel the emotion that put into recording this. Incredible cover thank you.
Thanks for the advise Liam, I decided to come off them a month ago. I was told to slowly decrease the dose but I just went cold turkey as I was sick to death of the side effects. After a few weeks of withdrawal hell I can safely say I'm back to feeling normal and for the most part happy!
I know this comments old but dont listen to the hippie saying cashews are as good as proper medicine man. Do what you want though just be careful and consider we with mental illness cant always look at ourselves objectively when we change something due to the nature of it being mental illness...
It is, right? I am such a FOALS fan, saw them live 4 times and always thought others couldn't get close...but this cover is just mental. I just drown in it....
I "discovered" City Calm Down with this song and fell in love with them... only to find that they had just broken up... so sad I missed them live. Hope they are all well and happy.
I'd never heard of this band before, and got here searching Spanish Sahara. My God what a voice. Reminiscent of Ian Curtis. Are all their stuff like this?
unnnngh it's so good I love this song. And it's evident the singer here loves this song too. I picture him hearing the song, learning the words, synchronizing his voice with Foals singers voice. He goes low, Foals goes high. They would sound great on stage together
+Rachel T haha yeah I commented when it was like a couple hours old and there were 4 negative comments and 1 Neutral. Since then it seems to have been 100% positive. Good on CCD!
This has taken me by surprise. I'm not a Foals fan, and I don't listen to JJJ much anymore, so I wasn't aware of the song. I am, however, a massive City Calm Down fan, and I thought they did a great job on this. What blew me away was when they played this at the Brisbane show 2 nights later. Jack takes no prisoners when he's on stage, he leaves nothing behind. I'm now watching this video every other day, and it still gives me chills.
I'm sure I'm about to spout sacrilege....but I don't know who the Foals are (I am definitely checking them out tho…) and I don't know this band either....but Gawd Almighty Damnation what a masterful delivery!! So now I've got two groups to check further. TA!
Spectacular! A great rendition, the vocalist was very passionate. I rarely comment on videos - but this one left me speechless. I' ll be sure to follow this band.
These guys are awesome , thank god their are bands like this still coming through , reminiscent of the smiths and sounds a bit like the late David Bowie , genius .
I love this guy! Major mancrush he reminds me of Ian Curtis I love seeing someone putting his heart into it, I know that mustn’t be easy in the triple j studios! He oozes presence! This is the best thing I’ve heard since white lies first record
This song really makes me want to cry. This song reminds me of Chloe from Life Is Strange and of course the closing scene of the game. This cover is very impressive
Absolutely beautiful. Kept the spirit of the original with a subtle twist. Feels a little bit like a Joy Division song. Also, all these people talking about Life is Strange, but the real OGs are here for Misfits.
So I listened to this song before years ago and I liked this cover a lot. Last summer over the course of a few months I lost my father to cancer. I just had a listen to it again but to my surprise the words have a completely new meaning.. m
He's probably referring to their cover of "Blood" by The Middle East, but they also did a cover of "All My Friends" by LCD Soundsystem. Both are great!
So I walked into the haze And a million dirty ways Now I see you lying there Like a lie low losing air, air Black rocks and shoreline sand Still that summer I cannot bare And I wipe the sand of my arms The Spanish Sahara, the place that you'd wanna Leave the horror here Forget the horror here Forget the horror here Leave it all down here It's future rust and then it's future dust Forget the horror here Forget the horror here Leave it all down here It's future rust and then it's future dust Now the waves they drag you down Carry you to broken ground Though I find you in the sand Wipe you clean with dirty hands So goddamn this boiling space The Spanish Sahara, the place that you'd wanna Leave the horror here Forget the horror here Forget the horror here Leave it all down here It's future rust and then it's future dust I'm the fury in your head I'm the fury in your bed I'm the ghost in the back of your head 'Cause I am I'm the fury in your head I'm the fury in your bed I'm the ghost in the back of your head 'Cause I am I'm the fury in your head I'm the fury in your bed I'm the ghost in the back of your head 'Cause I am Forget the horror here Forget the horror here Leave it all down here It's future rust and it's future dust I'm the fury in your head I'm the fury in your bed I'm the ghost in the back of your head 'Cause I am I'm the fury in your head I'm the fury in your bed I'm the ghost in the back of your head 'Cause I am I'm the fury in your head I'm the fury in your bed I'm the ghost in the back of your head 'Cause I am

Probably the definitive version of this song, honestly.
They were fantastic.
My god - what a cover. The solo part is freaking awesome!
i fucking love this song, i fucking love Foals from brazil
I miss this band :(
Me too :(
This dude needs to cover Love Will Tear Us Apart.
PLEASE
That would be amazing
He tries too hard to sound like Ian Curtis. He has an amazing voice and should just present himself.
Was about to say this was Joy Division-esque lol
@@colinzeal524 idk man I hear like ten different bands on the radio everyday who emulate that nickleback rasp. Also countless pop/rnb with the Christina Aguilara growl while they sing lol
This should have been in the hottest 100 like a versions for sure
Always a bit skeptical of someone trying to cover Foals, but that was legit.
Same!!
I listen to this over and over - great
why?
enjoy more of City Calm Down! :)
Lol why skeptical? Unusual choice of word.
The amount of emotion put into this performance is incredible...
blows my mind every time I watch it
The way he’s squatting, letting a choir of fury’s build in his head.
So much ❤
Definitely the best cover of "Spanish Sahara" ever made... !
The sound technician's for triple J always do a great job, hats off to you guys
They’re amazing right! Probably sound like karaoke if it wasn’t for their insight.
One of the greatest covers. Incredible voice. Gave it everything he had in this... Can't believe they're splitting up...
Omg whaat
Jack Bourke most definitely did not phone this in. Look at him at the end. That man gave it his all.
left it all in the studio that's for sure.
What an amazing cover. It's truly astounding.
Aaaand I'm crying again
Oh thank you for letting us listen this beautiful cover again.❤️❤️❤️

Gold
Isn't it amazing how much music can change our lives?
R.I.P. (Return if Possible) City Calm Down.
They need to regroup great band
Couldn't agree more! Amazing music ❤
Still the best cover EVER… l still feel every second of it.
100% agree
It is, right? I am such a FOALS fan, saw them live 4 times and always thought others couldn't get close...but this cover is just mental. I just drown in it....
Absolutely. I still remember hearing this driving to work on a Friday morning in 2016. Still gives me chills all these years later.
I "discovered" City Calm Down with this song and fell in love with them... only to find that they had just broken up... so sad I missed them live. Hope they are all well and happy.
Just popped up in my YT feed this morning. Damn what a voice!! I wish these boys come back
Cover of the year already.
I'd never heard of this band before, and got here searching Spanish Sahara. My God what a voice. Reminiscent of Ian Curtis. Are all their stuff like this?
Sadly, they just announced they're going on indefinite hiatus. But check "Echoes in Blue". Easily the best of their three albums!
Border on Control one of the best songs ever made in my opinion
“ Joan I’m disappearing “
it starts with :
“ it turned to shit on April 18th...”
@@patriciab1629 what happened on April 18th?
Amazing sound. It's a shame they're gone... hopefully not forever.
Voting for this ❤
his voice sounds very , nu-wave, post-punk/ goth-y not a judgement, i really like it.
One of my favourite songs with one of my favourite artists, couldn't have picked it better myself.
unnnngh
it's so good
I love this song. And it's evident the singer here loves this song too. I picture him hearing the song, learning the words, synchronizing his voice with Foals singers voice. He goes low, Foals goes high. They would sound great on stage together
This is unbelievably touching.
Y'all are tripping. They absolutely smashed this cover!

Incredible cover of an incredible song and one of the best Like A Versions of all time. Amazing!!!

Gave me the chills

Have to agree

+pepson71 Their debut album last year was incredible. My third favourite of 2015
pepson71 same here. I'm a massive Foals fan and didn't know this band but damn they made a truly great cover whilst respecting the original
If Spanish Sahara was released in the 80's
Driving to work this morning was so beautiful it was almost surreal thanks to City Calm Down.
Awesome song by an awesome band who has a new fan.
odinp this isn't originally their song , it's by foals
These guys are awesome , thank god their are bands like this still coming through , reminiscent of the smiths and sounds a bit like the late David Bowie , genius .
They did a very good cover live of Ashes to Ashes ...
It's back! Brilliant.
Yeah noticed it dropped off also- wonder what happened- glad it’s back- amazing cover
That voice...guys...
Something out of this universe!
Covering foals is a bold venture but I love it!
Beautiful
I love this guy! Major mancrush he reminds me of Ian Curtis I love seeing someone putting his heart into it, I know that mustn’t be easy in the triple j studios! He oozes presence! This is the best thing I’ve heard since white lies first record
This is so good that i have listened to this over 30 times on a two day period and never has this happened to me with other songs !
I need more covers by this guy 😍
Cover done a proper justice!!! I love Foals and I got goosebumps at the end of the performance. You can squeeze the passion from the video!
Legit goosebumps. Amazing
Love the build-up!
This is gold absolute fire 🔥 even all these years later!
Makes me smile. They did a fabulous job.
shivers! So sick!
You guys just get me - 2 of the best bands out there today...
Phuck me! That was beautifully perfect! Foals finally done justice!
This song really makes me want to cry. This song reminds me of Chloe from Life Is Strange and of course the closing scene of the game. This cover is very impressive
haunting and beautiful voice that carries it
Still watching this once a week or more. Best version ever!
10/10
Brilliant cover. First time I have heard them, really good band......that singer is superb.
That was really great. I mean, you can't compare to the original version, but this was pretty rad:)
THAT VOICE!

best like a version since gang of youths. noice
flaaressence fucking right
since Foals I'd say
which cover did Gang of Youths do ?
He's probably referring to their cover of "Blood" by The Middle East, but they also did a cover of "All My Friends" by LCD Soundsystem. Both are great!
I would have never thought I wanted this song covered but this was smashing
And max caulfield .... don’t you forget about me !
Never.
Nothing compares to this
okay that was just stupid good. that i came here by accident makes it even better. brilliant.
Love the original and absolutely fucking adore this, wow!
THIS COVER SHOULD HAVE MORE VIEWS

Sad final
MrBungle222 RIP
CHLOE MY BBY
bae over bay
This is absolute magic! Oh to the depth and beauty.
wow this is captivating love it
im abit late but damn this is impressive
Don't think you can get better that the original by Foals, but this is as close as you'll get. Stunning cover
Come back please , come back
Bold song choice, but they nailed it. Great cover!
So I walked into the haze
And a million dirty ways
Now I see you lying there
Like a lie low losing air, air
Black rocks and shoreline sand
Still that summer I cannot bare
And I wipe the sand of my arms
The Spanish Sahara, the place that you'd wanna
Leave the horror here
Forget the horror here
Forget the horror here
Leave it all down here
It's future rust and then it's future dust
Forget the horror here
Forget the horror here
Leave it all down here
It's future rust and then it's future dust
Now the waves they drag you down
Carry you to broken ground
Though I find you in the sand
Wipe you clean with dirty hands
So goddamn this boiling space
The Spanish Sahara, the place that you'd wanna
Leave the horror here
Forget the horror here
Forget the horror here
Leave it all down here
It's future rust and then it's future dust
I'm the fury in your head
I'm the fury in your bed
I'm the ghost in the back of your head
'Cause I am
I'm the fury in your head
I'm the fury in your bed
I'm the ghost in the back of your head
'Cause I am
I'm the fury in your head
I'm the fury in your bed
I'm the ghost in the back of your head
'Cause I am
Forget the horror here
Forget the horror here
Leave it all down here
It's future rust and it's future dust
I'm the fury in your head
I'm the fury in your bed
I'm the ghost in the back of your head
'Cause I am
I'm the fury in your head
I'm the fury in your bed
I'm the ghost in the back of your head
'Cause I am
I'm the fury in your head
I'm the fury in your bed
I'm the ghost in the back of your head
'Cause I am
wow love this song can't get enough of it, amazing foals cover
Damn that Telecaster looks sweet !
great work, boys.
Incredible Cover of a great song, prefer it over the original. Powerful.
In light of today's announcement, thank you again CCD for this truly special LAV.
I didnt expect such a deep voice.
ADDED TO MY FAVSSSSSSS OMG
Truly amazing.... The perfect song
Beautiful voice!
An absolutely brilliant cover by the boys!
one of the best like a versions ever
Seemingly the dopest like a version yet.
Best song and best performance of all time
If City Calm Down weren't being taken seriously before, they most certainly will now.
