It’s 2023 and this still has to be one of my all time favourite covers. Everything is just perfect from the lose yourself intro to the lion king. It all works so well.
It actually is. They released this song around the time that Miley Cyrus was partying really hard. All of the lyrics are relating back to Billy Ray Cyrus, her dad and older country music star. "Don't break his heart, his achy breaky heart, I just don't think he'll understand" is a riff off of Billy Ray's song from the '80s or '90s. Then with the lyrics changed from, "Remember only God can judge us" to "Remember only Dad can judge us". It was a pretty ballsy song to release at the time, bringing attention to the fact that she was doing some dangerous things and she has a father who loves her and would hate to lose her.
What a fun cover. Changing the lyrics from "only god can judge us" to "only dad can judge us" then later referencing this by using "achey breaky heart" was a clever choice. also clever was the use of the lion king's "just can't wait to be king" as a musical cue to miley cyrus's disney background. tying the song with eminem's 'lose yourself' was a smart way to start.
It's a musical commentary on her life. They were so smart to include all those references into just one cover. Even at the end with SHE can't stop. Brilliant.
Perfectly summed up. Good catch on the Lion King reference. I knew it sounded familiar but couldn't place it. A fun little party song that suddenly turns into a tragic commentary on her antics. This is one of the reasons I like the Live Lounge covers.
Still holds up as the best cover/mash-up of all time. Lose Yourself We Can't Stop I Just Can't Wait to be King Achy Breaky Heart all seamlessly connected.
Brilliant composition and performance, but I can't help but feel that his vocals were a bit weak during this track. His transition from head and chest voice into his falsetto is shaky.
"don't break his heart, his achy breaky heart" I fucking lost it oh my lord and then he couldn't hold his composure because he thought it was hilarious too hahhaha omg
Couldn't agree more!! The look he gave was because of the djs( I think it was Greg James) reaction, it was priceless his eyes nearly popped out of his head.
This is so freaking fantastic for a bunch of reasons: - quadruple mash-up :D (We can't stop, Lose yourself, I just can't wait to be king, achy breaky heart) - ladadida*DEY* we like to par*TEY* dancing with Mi*LEY* - everyone in line in the *BATH*room, queueing up to get into the *BATH*room - HELL NO 1:04 - the beautiful string entry at 1:31 - that accent - the lead singer's voice in general oml - they corrected the grammar in the lyrics - "remember only dad can judge us" lmao - the change of pronouns in the end is like a subtle nudge at Miley Cyrus?? - they're all silently chuckling at different points - cracking up at 3:07 - cuteness overload at 0:21, 0:53 I didn't really pay attention to Bastille before but damn, that video made me a fan. So creative and talented!
whoa did they just make it into a story between father and daughter cause "Only Dad can judge us" so "don't break his heart, his achy break heart" but "she can't stop and she won't stop." Wow.
Only Bastille is capable of mixing Miley Eminem Billy Ray and even Lion King All the while making it sound amazing and adding their own style. Well done, fellas.
I really love how he lets his accent shine through. I know he is british but as an Australian it really annoys me when I hear british/Australian etc singers put on an american accent in songs. It sounds so much more natural and ‘soulful’ idk how to explain it.
Well, most people actually don't have an accent when they're singing. Unless they have a very noticeable and heavy accent otherwise it often gets "drowned out" so to speak. In short "American" is a very easy and neutral accent to sing in, you just don't have to really think about what words you're saying since "generic American" can often be considered English without an accent, therefore it's also easier to pick up that accent when you aren't a native English speaker.
Paikea Kehlani Most people lose their accents while singing. Dan has a very strong accent and pronounces a lot of his vowels more strongly then others. People like Adele who sound American don’t have as strong of an accent or learned to sing through an ‘American accent’.
I know what you mean - I like when I can hear accents in singing. One very noticeable British accent is Yungblud!!! I love hearing his "fook" and his /f/ sound for his /th/ sounds! I also really appreciate that he says "mate" and "cheers luv for last night" in Ploygraph Eyes.
I literally was JUST saying this on.... shit, whatever video I was watching right before it led me to this one 😂 I said the exact same thing, that I love that he doesn't try to flatten his accent EVER and in fact tries to accentuate it more. It is one of those things you hear when your radio is turned down low but you still hear just that small characteristic and know EXACTLY who's on. 🥰
years later and still the best version of this song ever performed. The way they changed it and mashed it and the meaning they are conveying is pure talent overload.
I disagree with those complaining about great artist making cover of a pop singer or whatever else, because the great idea behind R1LL, to me, is exactly reinventing mediocre songs into really good ones, proving that musicians MAKE the actual difference. Bastille can cover everything.
It's not turning a mediocre song into a good one. It's just changing the style. We Can't Stop is a perfectly good pop song and is fun to listen to. I wouldn't put this version on at a party or driving around like I would with the original. But I would guess that you (and most people here) like Bastille better than you like Miley Cyrus, so when you hear a song in Bastille's style you prefer it to Miley Cyrus' style.
BobBoican I am no a Bastille fan, you see. I do not mean to disrespect them, as long as I know them, they are amazing, but I barely know them. I am not familiar with their style. I'm just noticing a difference between attitudes. I largely prefer Bastille's. Then, of course, if yo judge music on easy-listening, Miley surely is. I tried and tried to listen to her performance. she has a good voice, but nothing in it. Simply some people search for something more. It's a personal choice. Id' prefer this version in every situation to the original one.
whoever thought of combining eminem's lose yourself, bastille, and some good song lyrics. freaking genius. i dont' mind the song now, i actually sorta love it.
..."only dad can judge us(Billy ray Cyrus)"...."don't break his achy breaky heart" ( Billy's hit song) ..."she can't stop, she won't stop" (sorry Billy)... brilliant Bastille, brilliant
If you ment the 'dancing with miley' lyric, they've changed or mistaken it. The original says 'dancing with molly'. Don't know why, nobody can quite understand miley and her strange ways.
ewandougie Bastille, when covering a song, uses a LOT of different elements. Like, they did a cover a No Scrubs, added together with Angels, with Shine Bright Like Diamond in the chorus. :)
ewandougie It is deliberately. It says Miley is losing herself. the lion king part means that she got well known through disney and achy breaky heart is a song from her father.. I think this makes the song much cooler to listen to if you know the idea behind.
I dont often listen to bastille but when i do i appreciate their music, dan smith has a beautiful voice and sharp features which elevates his whole style
Can't believe this happened 6 yrs ago! I remember when this vid came out, i watched it so many times! and it was only like two months before my first Bastille concert, it got me so excited! Now I'm gonna see them again this summer, they're actually coming to my hometown and playing at Malakoff Rockfestival in july! Best summer ever!😍
I can’t believe I’ve only just found this. It’s absolutely amazing. Dan makes this mashup sound so beautiful. Bastille are so talented. Everything they do is just perfection. ❤❤❤❤
Beginning Riff: "Lose Yourself" by Eminem Fills: "I Just Can't Wait to Be King" from the Lion King (The "Disney" Irony) lol End: Achy Breaky Heart by Billy Ray Cyrus (Miley's Dad) lol Overall Song: We Can't Stop = Amazing Cover!
No, you're not hearing things: The opening chords are Lose Yourself by Eminem; the guitar solos in between verses (eg. 2:47) are the chords of I Just Can't Wait to Be King from the Lion King; the bit near the end (2:57-ish) is from Achy Breaky Heart by Billy Ray Cyrus Even if you don't necessarily like the cover, you have to admit it was genius of them to include such subtle messages in the song.
I HATE THAT FREAKING PEEP-NOISE AT THE END. Like I just got all calm and zen after listening to Dan and then it gets destroyed by that annoying ear-destroying noise. It's horrible. Anyway, DAN IS ADORABLE. His little laugh is so cute. I can;t handle it. I love this guy.
You can! Maybe not on mobile... but definitely on PC! Although i'm not sure it's 100% legal there are websites that allow you to download an MP3 of a youtube video (not that I have ever used any of them ;), then you can add the mp3 to spotify through the local files option
1:42 - The rest of Bastille is covering Miley Cyrus.....while the one guy on guitar decides to start playing 'I Just Can't Wait To Be King' from the Lion King (1994) 😂
Miley got her start with Disney as a youth, and the child of a star, and her public persona has projected a desire to become a star as soon as possible, I think that’s what it is alluding to
i love how there is actually so many songs in here. There's the background music that sounds like the eminem song? And there's the achy breaky heart bit. I swear to god I even heard a little guitar piece from a lion king song?
I really love how this isn't a perfect performance like when Dan laughs it shows us that there are human after all (even though im slightly suspicious they might be gods)
WOW THESE GUYS ARE AMAZING!!!!!!! I have been listening (and loving bastille for awhile now) and these guys never fail to create new twists to the songs they do ... amazing ! cant wait for more good stuff ! lets go BASTILLE
Haha, loving the 8 mile in this. It gives a totally different feeling to the song. I was a little worried in the beginning, but it definately grows on you. And the violin gives this song a really beautiful and little pinch of something special. Good job, guys. And wow, lion king too in the mix? You guys really know how to mix it up.
wow I wonder if M.Cyrus has heard this; I'm not a fan of hers or her music really but Dan Smith's voice in this made me teary eyed...and is that an Eminem beat in the beginning?? absolutely beautiful... Bastille and Dan Smith never disappoint; true musical talent
I know! His voice does that, albeit the lyrics '[we] can't stop, [we] won't stop' can be a bit powerful on their own, if used in the right context but his [tribute] version definitely sounded right/better to me.. lol even with the silly part when he mentions 'big booties' and they're so cute when woody gives kyle a hug in the beginning
webeninjam He did change the lyrics... 2:50 "Don't break his heart, his achey breaky heart, I just don't think he'll understand" Mate he is taking the piss at that point, and doing it well (He laughs after he says it). Fair play to him, I laughed
it’s a decade and i STILL love this cover, they really don’t know the impact they were making 😭😭
I totally agree.
It’s THE best cover I’ve ever heard
I am a huge cover nerd, have thousands in various playlists. This is, imo, the best covet I've ever heard.
This is why I love Bastille. Everything they touch turns to gold :D
is that a reference to Imagine Dragons haha? Probably not but I immediately thought of their song "Gold" when I saw ur comment :)
***** First comes the blessings of all that you've dreamed then comes the curses of diamonds and rings
***** yeah, I kinda like Imagine Dragons
***** I'm really happy when I feel I'm not the only one obsessed with Bastille, they are just really talented.
I think more black and blue ?
I like the transition to achy breaky heart. He's kinda cute when he almost laugh. So funny really!
Omg! the rune! the mortal instruments😍😍😭
Hi there fellow shadowhunter! :D
Alyssa Lagrosa (hi)
he was even doing this when i saw them live last month haha i love this banddd
Omg your profile picture!
It’s 2023 and this still has to be one of my all time favourite covers. Everything is just perfect from the lose yourself intro to the lion king. It all works so well.
Bastille does the best covers. They can take a pop song and make it heartbreaking just by slowing it down and adding emotion.
Jessamine Manchester they can make the shittiest pop songs sound epic. ❤️
Yes! My favorite one is their cover of "No Scrubs" by TLC. The original is just a fun pop song, but somehow Bastille made it sound so beautiful!
This isn't really a sad version tho.......
It actually is. They released this song around the time that Miley Cyrus was partying really hard. All of the lyrics are relating back to Billy Ray Cyrus, her dad and older country music star. "Don't break his heart, his achy breaky heart, I just don't think he'll understand" is a riff off of Billy Ray's song from the '80s or '90s.

Love what they did to Green Day Basket Case. From Punk Rock to a Symphony
The way he laughe at the end of ‘his Achy breaky heart’ was absolutely adorable
2,5 years later I'm still not over this cover
love you profile name
it's the best cover ever
and his voice is so raw and pure and don't get me started on that smile oh god
I'm 2 1/2 late... but so grateful I found my way here :) Namaste.
I come back to this video often. Wish it was on Spotify

Where is the lion king part?
1blindmouse After each chorus (I guess the bridge?), listen to the little guitar riff.
"I Just Can't Wait To Be King".
Still holds up as the best cover/mash-up of all time.
Lose Yourself
We Can't Stop
I Just Can't Wait to be King
Achy Breaky Heart
all seamlessly connected.
ok honestly I though I was crazy for hearing Lion King in here good to know its actually there😅
+averyaugust When is the part with I just wait to be king?
+Leah Bakken The guitar riff after the chorus @ 1:43 & 2:46. I guess it would either be the "hook" or the "bridge".
+averyaugust OMG I'm so glad I'm not the only one who heard it too!! lol
Brilliant composition and performance, but I can't help but feel that his vocals were a bit weak during this track. His transition from head and chest voice into his falsetto is shaky.
3 years later and I still come back to this. They gave this song elegance.
Try 10 🤔 💭
"don't break his heart, his achy breaky heart" I fucking lost it oh my lord and then he couldn't hold his composure because he thought it was hilarious too hahhaha omg
I love the realness of that it's hilarious.
It makes my day, I laugh
I love how dan laughs a little at times during the song, i find elements like that give the music so much more personality :)
this is just a masterpiece. the laughing makes it even better indeed
I like it how this lad doesn't lose his accent when he's singing
For me the giggle at 3:07 just makes it even better. Always makes me smile even just listening to the audio. Best live lounge cover ever for me.
100
I always wait for the giggle lol
Couldn't agree more!! The look he gave was because of the djs( I think it was Greg James) reaction, it was priceless his eyes nearly popped out of his head.

Didn’t realise till I saw this comment.
Still here

This is so freaking fantastic for a bunch of reasons:
- quadruple mash-up :D (We can't stop, Lose yourself, I just can't wait to be king, achy breaky heart)
- ladadida*DEY* we like to par*TEY* dancing with Mi*LEY*
- everyone in line in the *BATH*room, queueing up to get into the *BATH*room
- HELL NO 1:04
- the beautiful string entry at 1:31
- that accent
- the lead singer's voice in general oml
- they corrected the grammar in the lyrics
- "remember only dad can judge us" lmao
- the change of pronouns in the end is like a subtle nudge at Miley Cyrus??
- they're all silently chuckling at different points
- cracking up at 3:07
- cuteness overload at 0:21, 0:53
I didn't really pay attention to Bastille before but damn, that video made me a fan. So creative and talented!
amazing!
plus dan is literal perfection
YES, yes, all the yes. The strings especially are great.
amazing performance but I can't ignore his accent😂😂😂
hilarious :)
where did they corrected the grammar?
I felt like bursting out in "Lose Yourself" during the first minute of the song. This is a really good cover.
Look.. If you had.. One shot.. One opportunity..
Now... THAT'S a cover.
and I just can't wait to be king @1:42
Adam Kerrigan
OH MY GOODNESS. Thank you so much for pointing that out. I just died. Again.
This has got to be one of the best covers ever done in the Live Lounge.

Wow.
good analyzation. deep. very deep...
Achy Breaky Heart is actually a small verse from Billy Ray Cyrus' 1992 hit
I thought it was only god can judge us
Did anyone else notice Kyle lifting his hands at 0:50 when Dan said "hands in the air like we dont care"? 😂😂
+KersZZ and Dan's smile !!
+Crazy Book Eater And if Dan would actually start laughing, like in Overjoyed.
HAHAHAHA LMAO😂😂
Notice? It was right there in the middle of the screen lol
legit same tho
I always smile at the part where Dan starts smiling and laughs a little while singing
Lol, same idk why
Because he's cute :3
9 years later and wow im so amazed by this cover. I saw them live a couple weeks ago and now I wished I saw them perform this!? Incredible
His palms are sweaty, knees week, arms are heavy
Yeh I thought of lose yourself when I heard the guitar intro to
moms spaghetti
+Mathew walentowicz yes, me too....
I love Dean 😍
the beginning was totally sampling Lose Yourself haha
Only Bastille is capable of mixing
Miley
Eminem
Billy Ray
and even Lion King
All the while making it sound amazing and adding their own style.

I think the actual song blushed at the amount of talent that covered it.

I thinks it's such a great thing bbc does by asking bands/singers to cover songs. it's kinda cool to see what they make out of this song. :-)
I bow to bastille's arranging skills
i get chills listening to him singing.. love this cover more than the original
There was an original??? this is EPIC he OWNED it!!! 😀😀
Bruh this just makes it funny and I'm pretty sure we all know this song :D by Miley
One of the best covers/mashups all-time
this is the most amazing cover of any song I have ever heard.
Talent. They took Eminem's "Lose Yourself" and put Miley's lyrics to it. Kinda genius in it's execution.
And so it is if consider the meaning of the songs...
whoever thought of combining eminem's lose yourself, bastille, and some good song lyrics. freaking genius. i dont' mind the song now, i actually sorta love it.
Hands down best cover of the decade?
It's awesome but Neon Hitch's is bit better♥️
Look up jared leto "stay" or chris Cornell's "nothing compares 2 u"
Yes!!
absolutely
Totally agreed
..."only dad can judge us(Billy ray Cyrus)"...."don't break his achy breaky heart" ( Billy's hit song) ..."she can't stop, she won't stop" (sorry Billy)... brilliant Bastille, brilliant
May Agadzi yessss I caught all that too and I got all emotional :')
This is my favorite thing in the world. Just saying.
Lol same
kate i think IS THAT AWSTEN KNIGHT I SEE
It's definitely up there with the best
I love how they gently removed the line about drugs and changed some lyrics but left in the Partying with Miley line. Gosh this is beautiful.
If you ment the 'dancing with miley' lyric, they've changed or mistaken it. The original says 'dancing with molly'. Don't know why, nobody can quite understand miley and her strange ways.
Lose yourself + We Can't Stop + I can't wait to be king + Achy Breaky Heart = This
I thought it was 'Lose yourself' by Eminem at the start.
Its almost like they used the Riff deliberately
ewandougie They do use the Riff
ewandougie Bastille, when covering a song, uses a LOT of different elements. Like, they did a cover a No Scrubs, added together with Angels, with Shine Bright Like Diamond in the chorus. :)
ewandougie It is deliberately. It says Miley is losing herself. the lion king part means that she got well known through disney and achy breaky heart is a song from her father.. I think this makes the song much cooler to listen to if you know the idea behind.
oh my god YES seriously!
His voice is genuinely so talented
i honestly like it better when he sings it
Same!!! Pop is just the same thing nowadays
agreed
I think so too
yes!!!
Yeah same 😍
I dont often listen to bastille but when i do i appreciate their music, dan smith has a beautiful voice and sharp features which elevates his whole style
6 years late and it still is just like gold!!! They are so amazing!!
at the beginning the song sounded like Eminem's lose yourself
am i the only one with this feeling ?
It is
Nope its 8 mile Imean no talent!!!
christian berry 8 miles is the movie
I know it is, it sounded i meant!
The name of the movie is 8 Mile. It's the name of the road in Detroit. Dumbasses.
This cover is brilliant. Seriously: I think listening to this it's actually good for health.

This might be the best thing i ever seen
yeah sure
I love the fact that he changed it to try and make it more grammatically correct.
Just noticed this
For a completely meaningless song, Dan kinda had me catching feelings towards the end of it
it is like Mega Minx
Lol how is it meaningless? Lol its about partying, enjoying life, and having fun

Now I'm gonna see them again this summer, they're actually coming to my hometown and playing at Malakoff Rockfestival in july! Best summer ever!😍
Still think this is the best cover ever done out of all the live lounge sessions.
His laugh oMG HE'S CUTE AF
Cant help it lol
Sooo hot
I love how Miley Cyrus' songs are so awesome when she isn't performing them.
omg me too!
omg!!!!!!!! who ask u
I can’t believe I’ve only just found this. It’s absolutely amazing. Dan makes this mashup sound so beautiful.
Bastille are so talented. Everything they do is just perfection. ❤❤❤❤
I WILL NEVER GET OVER THIS
This is the best live lounge for sure.
For a while I thought I'd clicked the wrong video and was listening to an Eminem cover😂
I thought the exact same 😂
me too, what song does it hear alike?
lose yourself
same lol
me too :D
10 years and is still the best cover ever
Dan's voice, dans voice, dans voice, omfg his voice
THIS PROVES HOW AMAZING BASTILLE ARE they actually made this sound good
I know right
this is the best cover i've ever heard.

Bastille totally changed the feel of this song, it went from a party/club college-girl song to a darker, grittier scream-at-the-world type of thing.
The BEST version of Achey Breaky I've ever heard!!!! Hahahaha
I absolutely love this! It was genius and made me laugh so much, they obviously had a lot of fun doing this!
Beginning Riff: "Lose Yourself" by Eminem
Fills: "I Just Can't Wait to Be King" from the Lion King (The "Disney" Irony) lol
End: Achy Breaky Heart by Billy Ray Cyrus (Miley's Dad) lol
Overall Song: We Can't Stop
= Amazing Cover!
I love how cultural-reference-loaded Bastille's music & videos can be. It's one of my favorite things about them as a musical group :).
No, you're not hearing things:
The opening chords are Lose Yourself by Eminem; the guitar solos in between verses (eg. 2:47) are the chords of I Just Can't Wait to Be King from the Lion King; the bit near the end (2:57-ish) is from Achy Breaky Heart by Billy Ray Cyrus
Even if you don't necessarily like the cover, you have to admit it was genius of them to include such subtle messages in the song.
11 years later and im still returning to listen to this.
I HATE THAT FREAKING PEEP-NOISE AT THE END. Like I just got all calm and zen after listening to Dan and then it gets destroyed by that annoying ear-destroying noise. It's horrible.
Anyway, DAN IS ADORABLE. His little laugh is so cute. I can;t handle it. I love this guy.
I wish I could have this on Spotify :(
You can! Maybe not on mobile... but definitely on PC! Although i'm not sure it's 100% legal there are websites that allow you to download an MP3 of a youtube video (not that I have ever used any of them ;), then you can add the mp3 to spotify through the local files option
after that put it in a playlist then sync it to your phone. then put the playlist as available offline and presto you have it on your phone.
Imagine coming across you, Ellis in this comment section! Small world. Come on boooooooys.
me too...
you can just download audio to your device and look for it in spotify down your library menu on local files
I never seen someone so excited saying "bathroom"
XDDD
this is honestly the best comment i`ve read under this video
lol'd
Ahahahahahaaaaa 😂😂😂😂
OMG HAHAAHHAAHAHAHAHHA
I love that he appropriates his accent and is not afraid of showing it.
1:42 - The rest of Bastille is covering Miley Cyrus.....while the one guy on guitar decides to start playing 'I Just Can't Wait To Be King' from the Lion King (1994) 😂
this made me laugh so much and i had to go back 5 times to listen for it
i was looking for this comment
Miley got her start with Disney as a youth, and the child of a star, and her public persona has projected a desire to become a star as soon as possible, I think that’s what it is alluding to
Omg dude you’re hilarious
Jajajajajaja i love it xD
i love how there is actually so many songs in here. There's the background music that sounds like the eminem song? And there's the achy breaky heart bit. I swear to god I even heard a little guitar piece from a lion king song?
Haha that's what I was thinking, wait, is this a remix with lose yourself? :p
suebidou
Yeah they added a little bit of the background music from lose yourself into the song.
I was thinking both things!
WHEN HE LAUGHS AT 3:00 FUCK ME
OH I KNOW, I WANT HIM IN MY FUCKING LIFE.
+Frances Nolan that made me smile and laugh too accully. I seriously want to meet him :P
+Hannahs Life I've met him and oh lord 😻
Lisa McLaughlin OMFG!!!!!!! DOES HE GIVE GOOD HUGS????
+Hannahs Life my friend hugged him not me lol 😜
Still one of the best covers I've ever heard.
Dan's accents
Lyster Reis v
beebz
Miley did a cover of this.
No this a cover of miley's, miley did the original
I know, I'm just kidding bruh
Darren Lynch I love when people spots the troll at first sight.
Greg House How is Dr.Wilson??
::)) ifoundmypeople
OH MY GOSH YOU ARE AMAZING! YOU EMINEM'S INSTRUMENTAL AND MILEY'S SONG! Oh my gosh you guys are freaking geniuses.
esha verma they play Lose Yourself in the background, thats the Eminem song
10 years on and still the greatest of all time in the love lounge
I really love how this isn't a perfect performance like when Dan laughs it shows us that there are human after all (even though im slightly suspicious they might be gods)
Does anyone else hear the Lion King theme at 1:42?
"Oh I Just Can't Wait to Be King"???
Eminem AND a Lion King sample? Dang.
+Gabrielle Holt huh... woots
Oh my god, you're right! I just noticed the "Just can't wait to be king" part
I thought the music was Eminem as well!
yes thats the lion king !!!!!!!!
It’s a nod to her Disney roots and losing herself
Dan's voice omfg fuckkkk he's so great
i love it when he just lets his voice show his accent and his heart together...
WOW THESE GUYS ARE AMAZING!!!!!!! I have been listening (and loving bastille for awhile now) and these guys never fail to create new twists to the songs they do ... amazing ! cant wait for more good stuff ! lets go BASTILLE
Haha, loving the 8 mile in this. It gives a totally different feeling to the song. I was a little worried in the beginning, but it definately grows on you. And the violin gives this song a really beautiful and little pinch of something special. Good job, guys. And wow, lion king too in the mix? You guys really know how to mix it up.
wow I wonder if M.Cyrus has heard this; I'm not a fan of hers or her music really but Dan Smith's voice in this made me teary eyed...and is that an Eminem beat in the beginning?? absolutely beautiful... Bastille and Dan Smith never disappoint; true musical talent
He gave it meaning, in a way. He didn't even change the lyrics...
I know! His voice does that, albeit the lyrics '[we] can't stop, [we] won't stop' can be a bit powerful on their own, if used in the right context but his [tribute] version definitely sounded right/better to me.. lol even with the silly part when he mentions 'big booties'
and they're so cute when woody gives kyle a hug in the beginning
webeninjam He did change the lyrics... 2:50 "Don't break his heart, his achey breaky heart, I just don't think he'll understand"
Mate he is taking the piss at that point, and doing it well (He laughs after he says it). Fair play to him, I laughed
ya but it's also just plain/simply sweet to combine the two together in this rendition since they're family
phbto101 Those lyrics are from a song Miley Cyrus' dad's song "Achy Breaky Heart"
