It certainly gives the lyrics more breathe within the song's structure leaving it with a more pensive feel. But it does take away from the erratic feeling the original song's tonal story delivered. Which kind of changes its message/point.
After hearing Hannah's vocals at the beginning, I noticed that her and Christian actually switch places on the high part during the Spiderhead cover at some parts. They have incredibly similar sounding voices when he goes falsetto: he's got a great handle on his voice in the high range like she has a handle on hers in the low, and that's what so amazing in this video. The ranges are both on display here in all their glory. Thank you putting up both pieces of this!
I like how it's the same lyrics and story, but by just the way the song is played gives a completely different vibe to it. CTE is energy filled and makes you want to scream along with a "fuck it" vibe. GL's is like a romantic "why oh why" vibe.
As a Grouplove fan, I find all their covers awesome, you listen to it and you know it's Grouplove, a lot of people who don't like the covers can only hear the original song which is usually very contrasting so they don't like change, but that's the whole point of a cover, it would be stupid if Grouplove tried to make it sound like CTE because they aren't CTE, they're Grouplove! And that's what this song sounds like through and through and it's awesome!
The most interesting covers are the ones who give it different emotional impacts from the originals, or the ones that bring it up the the logical extreme (see the Disturb version of sound of silence
As I am more of a fan of Cage The Elephant and listen to their music more often than Grouplove, it was extremely strange and weird listening to this in the beginning but I loved the way they integrated the key pieces from the song into their cover. Truly beautiful and gives me a whole different perspective onto the song especially since I saw Cage The Elephant perform this live. :)
What an ear for sound, anyone can copy a cover. To change the vibe, put your heart into it and use simplicity is exactly how you want to make a song explode in a different way. Amazing Hannah always sounds beautiful
if you guys haven't yet check out the longer version of this vid where they play ways to go but johnny cash style. and she kills the johnny cash voice!!!!
I keep coming back to this cover over and over again, I ADORE THIS LIKE A VERSION Grouplove took the CageTheElephant awesomeness and made it mellow..... kick ass!!!!!
How does that chicks voice go so low.. Edit: I forgot I commented this 3 years ago and now 1.8k likes. Lol. I guess I should mention that I love group love and think the range is quite impressive, but I still don’t understand how her voice can hit those lows.
Wow, I was already a fan of this song from CTE s fantastically eccentric album "Melophobia" -- but I am blown away by this cover from Grouplove - it is so beautiful and the best cover of anything I have heard in a long while.
Anyone who thinks covers (especially a live cover, no matter how well done) have to sound exactly like the recorded original doesn't really know what a cover is or what it's about. Or the fact that great bands have originality and individuality in everything they do.
cte is my all time favourite band, and i usually hate it when I hear a different version from a song I like, but I love this. I would love to her the female vocalist with a cte song
my dad has always liked cage the elephant. there fore I did too. one day he played this cover in the truck and it made me apprieciate the lyrics so much I had tears in my eyes. this cover is so beautiful.
You can pay attention in the original if you try, this ones just easier Bc its a lot calmer for the most part. They’re both great but imma always love the original
best cover of the year so far. After the strange version of AM and the Jezabels playing a way over covered song it's not that hard to take the title. But besides that this an awesome cover
Somewhere within the last few weeks they've cut the beginning of this video off to get rid of the part where Grouplove did a short bit of their song Ways To Go in the style of Johnny Cash and *damn* was it good. Guess that's lost to history now...
😲I have no idea who these folks are, but from a longtime CTE fan, may I just say, HOLY. SHIT. That was wickedly so unlike anything I had anticipated. 👌🏼And worth every note.
Clear and beatiful how an artist enhances the other's songs by making sincere and authentic renditions . Both are incredibly benefited as well as the fortunate listeners so to say. holy cheers
These are my two favorite bands and even though their styles are completely different, I thoroughly enjoyed this cover. They're both so talented and bring so much energy at live shows!

that woman has absolutely amazing range
She just riffing
Her name is hannah
Lol it’s called equipment but nonetheless yes she does👍
this version makes me appreciate the lyrics a lot more. Such a beautiful song
agree :)
sounds like modest mouse
alanmendezca sounds like band of horses to me

A lot f their songs have pretty deep and beautiful lyrics, it's just overlooked cause Matt's normally going absolutely insane haha

Actually the drummer was the lower register towards the end, there.
They are amazing.
Christian was her unofficial voice coach when the band first got together. He helped improve her harmonizing.
That girl's voice gets lower than my self esteem
Very funny
Hahahaha
must have your shit together
gah DAMN
And his voice gets higher than my cholesterol after three conies
I like how it's the same lyrics and story, but by just the way the song is played gives a completely different vibe to it.
CTE is energy filled and makes you want to scream along with a "fuck it" vibe. GL's is like a romantic "why oh why" vibe.
Just hearing this for the first time today but this is an absolutely perfect description! Same lyrics completely different emotions. Amazing cover!
One of the best triple j covers. Not often that a cover outshines the original

Exactly! The whole point of a cover is to make it your own.

really cool !
They need to do a cover of the song Useless. Its by a band from Phoenix, Arizona and the band is called Anarbor

this is a fabulous cover of the song

I don't really know this band but cage is my favorite band and this is genuinely a really good cover.
They do the ending theme to Bojack Horseman as well.
it was meh
These bands, Grouplove and CTE are some of my favorite bands.
Really? Cte I'd your favorite and you like this?
zachf yeah
this version gives me a LIFE IS STRANGE vibe
That game is everywhere. I miss it so much.
Hannah Baker BEFORE THE STORM COMING SOON AHHHHHH
Maliha Sultana wow yeah I can hear it
Oh now that you say it - absolutely!!
What an ear for sound, anyone can copy a cover. To change the vibe, put your heart into it and use simplicity is exactly how you want to make a song explode in a different way. Amazing Hannah always sounds beautiful
For some reason I REALLY loved the 'parody' cover of ways to go in the beginning.
+S. Stevens Wish they did more like that. I keep listening to that few seconds.
why is this not on spotify, i just love thid cover soooo much!
No chance of a full length Johnny Cash version? That was awesome.
I know right!
a country album would be something
id buy it
Her voice is so manly ahah
Really wasn't
its people like you that ruin perfectly funny jokes
When one of your fav bands does a cover of another fav band
Why was the intro cut? I enjoyed the quick Johnny Cash cover.
OHMYGOD THIS IS BEAUTIFUL MY TWO FAVORITE BANDS COMBINEDDDDDDD.
The one LAV I just keep coming back to!
Haven't heard this version in years and I still love it so much
Both of these bands are my favorites, this made me so happy!!
Why did you cut the intro OMG????
lol the Johnny cash like a version cover was great😂
if you guys haven't yet check out the longer version of this vid where they play ways to go but johnny cash style. and she kills the johnny cash voice!!!!
Wow this cover makes the lyrics to this song just POP!
I forgot about this, and it’s very nice to come back to it after a few years :,) such a good cover. I love Grouplove and Cage the Elephant 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
Version with the Johnny Cash intro?! What happend?! I been locked up bro's and bro'ettes
This is 10 years old so they must have edited it out of the original
This is the best "like a version" because this band actually enjoyed covering the song.
I fucking love both bands. This cover is too amazing....
I keep coming back to this cover over and over again, I ADORE THIS LIKE A VERSION
Grouplove took the CageTheElephant awesomeness and made it mellow..... kick ass!!!!!
Still coming back
Big fan of Cage the Elephant, but Grouplove sure brings the same amount of passion into this song. Thanks, great, great cover.
Damn it seemed like a whole other song, that was a phenomenal cover!
How does that chicks voice go so low..
Edit: I forgot I commented this 3 years ago and now 1.8k likes. Lol. I guess I should mention that I love group love and think the range is quite impressive, but I still don’t understand how her voice can hit those lows.
some people are super good at manipulating their voices
I was wondering the same thing. lol
yup, that's a gifted set of vocal strings :)
Noah Bailey vocal raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaange
Noah Bailey First thought it was a trap :0
Wow, I was already a fan of this song from CTE s fantastically eccentric album "Melophobia" -- but I am blown away by this cover from Grouplove - it is so beautiful and the best cover of anything I have heard in a long while.
i wish they would cover a pixies song
Imagine if they did Gouge Away or Hey that would be amazing
@@midchaff5010 I was just thinking Gouge Away would rock. then I saw your comment! :)
You should see christians old band it was basically hardcore pixies
Listen Rasperry live from them and sounds like pixies
I been listening to this song almost every day for years... It is just that perfect.Thanks so much!
for real? anything even close to daily would be quite notable but I get why you might coz the song is thaaat good.
i enjoy watching the guys nose squish against the microphone
Funniest comment on here haha I agree though
Where did the Johny cash but go? That was killer!
I was wondering the same thing!
One of my favorite bands covering another of my favorite bands song, this is amazing I'm in love with this cover
This is brilliant. Hannah's vocal range = amazing.
Anyone who thinks covers (especially a live cover, no matter how well done) have to sound exactly like the recorded original doesn't really know what a cover is or what it's about. Or the fact that great bands have originality and individuality in everything they do.
YES. Love Cage the Elephant, this cover wins.
cte is my all time favourite band, and i usually hate it when I hear a different version from a song I like, but I love this. I would love to her the female vocalist with a cte song
try Sara m m-johansson... softer version..love her voice...
Love it when bands I love cover each other
this is amazing. they put the song to their own sound and it worked perfectly. great job grouplove
This will always be my favorite cover on triple j. First time I heard of grouplove and cage the elephant and am a fan ever since.
I still come back and watch this all the time❤
Grouplove knows how to bring a whole new atmosphere to music.
I really like both versions a lot.
This is beautiful, They delivered it so well, it almost sounded natural.
It’s amazing how a different tune can make the lyrics seem so impactful
6 years later and I still get chills
I've had this song in my phone for years,and never actually watched this,before! Never tire of either versions.
This version hits right at home. Tears me apert every time.
Was the Johnny Cash cover at the beginning removed?
I came here and there's no more Ways To Go parody cover :(
Same
anyone else come back to this once a month if not more?
I would buy the shit out of the complete Johnny Cash version of Ways To Go
Malcolm Nathaniel for real, I can dig it.
two of my favorite bands combined :]]]
my dad has always liked cage the elephant. there fore I did too. one day he played this cover in the truck and it made me apprieciate the lyrics so much I had tears in my eyes. this cover is so beautiful.
It's like a dream come true.
I’ll never get tired going back to this song
Just now I paid attention to the lyrics. I can't do this with the original song.
I think this cover is better than the original for that reason. I think it really represents the meaning of the song or I at least my view of it.
+James Ickes I agree.
that's good, because regardless the beauty of the song, the lyrics kinda suck :P
You can pay attention in the original if you try, this ones just easier Bc its a lot calmer for the most part. They’re both great but imma always love the original
They need to do a cover of the song Useless. Its by a band from Phoenix, Arizona and the band is called Anarbor
Grouplove should totally make that "Ways to go" song in Johnny Cash version, It's been on my head all day and changed my mood lol
This never gets old, love it 👍👏🙏
best cover of the year so far. After the strange version of AM and the Jezabels playing a way over covered song it's not that hard to take the title. But besides that this an awesome cover
I like the way Grouplove always givesa their own twist to the covers they do
I'm in love with this cover. And I wanted their Johnny Cash thing to go on longer XD
Love CTE. Not mad at this. Great job GL.
Oh my god that is the perfect Jazz bass tone, floaty bassline with much sustain, high midrange, and just a touch of gain. That is beautiful
Absolutely voting for this as my number 1 in the upcoming Hottest 100 Like a Versions ... real goat shit
I will never get over this cover!! my all-time favorite!!
Wow, this is the greatest song I have discovered this year. Amazing!
his nose ... the mic...
Lisa Rogers otp
No chill
Damn!
haha that's what I was thinking too

Somewhere within the last few weeks they've cut the beginning of this video off to get rid of the part where Grouplove did a short bit of their song Ways To Go in the style of Johnny Cash and *damn* was it good. Guess that's lost to history now...
I think they made it a short Im going to try and find it
This just reaffirms my love for them
Grouplove is one of the most talented bands. I wish they did more songs like this
So much talent with these guys, they are excellent live, must see!
i love them both
all the proceeds from their music goes to curing their bass player of narcolepsy
You modified the video, and yet STILL have not put this song on Spotify.
RIGHT?!?!?!?
this is the best cover of a cage song I've heard to date i love it so much! it changes the song completely but the way that they did so works so well
One of my favorite videos right now. The owner of this channel can confirm. Just dope.
😲I have no idea who these folks are, but from a longtime CTE fan, may I just say, HOLY. SHIT.
That was wickedly so unlike anything I had anticipated. 👌🏼And worth every note.
So lovely. Awsome to see them as fans as well as colleges. Awsome version.😘❤️
Been listening to this song for years and i will never tire of it. 💕
Clear and beatiful how an artist enhances the other's songs by making sincere and authentic renditions . Both are incredibly benefited as well as the fortunate listeners so to say.
holy cheers
I adore her. Adore Grouplove.
Why did they cut down the video ?
Wow
Peace everyone
Greatest cover ever done. ❤️
Love this cover. So into it....baby baby baby baby I'm not lying!!!
This is my all time favorite cover
2nd - Where Is My Mind (Milky Chance cover)
3rd - Dance of the Manatee (HungryCovers cover)
Love her so much this whole group gots my love
I love both of those bands, this is one of my favorite covers of all time
they are perfection. flat out.
I’ve watched this video so many times, love both of these covers
Amazing Cover!!! When it's slowed down like this it reveals a deeper meaning.
i'm always astounded by grouplove. their performance at bdo auckland was definitely a highlight of the day!
Love those guys. I listen to all their stuff.
I love Like a Version. This is one of the best I've heard. In an Ocean of Amazing Covers.
What a bunch of gems
These are my two favorite bands and even though their styles are completely different, I thoroughly enjoyed this cover. They're both so talented and bring so much energy at live shows!
