That's his heart ona plate. That's what makes Seethers take special. They didn't phone it in, they did a Seether channeling of a classic song with heavy guitars and metal style drums.
my heart screams with him when he sings that part every time!!!!! I agree with all the lyrics especially what my heart cries infinitely... PLEASE STAY!!!!!
Look guys, I know that George Michael wrote this song about cheating and that he's the one cheating. You can contrast this song to the opposite gender as well, it's not like they won't cheat on you to. I wrote this as a joke, and if you are offended by it.... Then well that's you
This song reminds me of my brother, who passed away in March. We used to go to metal shows together, and he used to always drive us. He always burned CDs of good songs for us to listen to during the drive. I remember this was on one of his CDs, and i was astounded, as i never heard this. And Scottie and i both love Seether. Boy, this makes me think of Scottie. Miss him so much. Was his birthday last week.
I am a massive George Michael fan, literally cried for 3 days when he died. I just know he would have loved this version. He once heard someone murder it and gave them an ovation. He always said, music isn't a competition, it's an expression. I have this on my George Michael playlist. It's THAT good!
I feel so unsure As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor As the music dies, something in your eyes, Calls to mind a silver screen and all its sad goodbyes [Chorus] I’m never gonna dance again, (‘cause (?)) guilty feet have got no rhythm Though it’s easy to pretend, I know you’re not a fool I should’ve known better than to cheat a friend, and waste this chance that I’ve been given So I’m never gonna dance again, the way I dance with you Time can never mend The careless whispers of a good friend To the heart and mind, ignorance is kind There’s no comfort in the truth, pain is all you’ll find [Chorus] . . . Tonight the music seems so loud I wish that we could lose this crowd Maybe it is better this way We’d hurt each other with the things we want to say We could’ve been so good together We could’ve lived this dance forever Now who’s gonna dance with me Please stay! [Chorus] . . .
I’ve listened to a lot of covers of this song and this is by farrrrr the best one. George was too smooth! Seether gave me something I wasn’t even looking for and goodness they nailed this!!!
NIGHTMARE10694 Just checked that out. You're right, they did a great job. I don't feel the singer did as much emotionally with his voice as he could have though. I'd have liked to hear how much more it could have been if sung by the singers from Lifehouse, 3 Doors Down or Staind.
it's an amazing cover, but lets just take a minute to thank George Michael and his genius song writing to come up with the greatest love song of all time, which he wrote at 17 years of age while on the way to work!
I feel so unsure As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor As the music dies Something in your eyes Calls to mind a silver screen And all of the sad goodbyes I'm never going to dance again These guilty feet have got no rhythm Though it's easy to pretend I know you're not a fool I should have known better than to cheat a friend A wasted chance that I've been given So I'm never going to dance again...

Appreciate the effort of writing out the lyrics. Just thought I'd help out for correctness sake. It's "and waste a chance that I've been given" not "A wasted chance that I've been given"
mahbub plabon i never knew the lyrics are, im not a english native, and i really thought this song is romantic, you know its used a lot in movies when people starts to make out, yet the lyrics are heartbreaking ㅠㅠ thanks man
Funny story: Im mexican and when i was a kid i asked what song was this and i always thought people said "Carlos Whisper" (cuz none of them were great at speakig english and i was a little kid) and i spend years looking for carlos whisper when it was "careless whisper" all along
I'm horrifically disappointed that this song is actually good. I searched for a metal cover of careless whisper expecting something super silly and over the top damn it!!
@BowserFan Productions Yeah. The guy cheated on his partner, and she found out from their friend. They split up, and the guy expresses desperation, sadness, regret, anger.
@Cameron Armstrong Lol you didn't realize the lyrics? First is: "As the music dies, something in your eyes, Calls to mind a silver screen and all its sad goodbyes" this is probably where the breakup happens. "I should’ve known better than to cheat a friend, and waste a chance that I’ve been given So I’m never gonna dance again, the way I danced with you " replace "danced" with dated/loved, it's a euphemism. "Time can never mend The careless whispers of a good friend To the heart and mind, ignorance is kind There’s no comfort in the truth, pain is all you’ll find" is about the lies he told, how he feels bad about them, and how he wishes (she) never found out. The last part of the song is him begging (her) to stay.
Jesus Christ, I forgot how good this cover was. Doesn’t take away from the original, just gives it a new soul. Independently great in its on right, which is rare for any cover.
The only other really good one I can think of is johnny cash covering hurt. Covers should be like these where they take the song and make it their own instead of trying to sound like the original.
Found this cover while going through a hard time with my former best friend who I had a crush on about a month ago, I don't think there's a song more fit to how I felt or that hit me stronger then this when I heard it the first time but I've never really been one for the original as it always just sounded emotionless and like George Micheal never really meant what he sung, but this cover...just the emotion in every vocal to the song and every note to the music, just fits's the song perfectly. I don't know too many other bands that could have done this the way Seether has, beautiful cover.
Totally agree. This beats the original 100 to 1. Hell, I even remember listening to this on 94.5 The Buzz when I was younger. Loved it then, and still love it today.
I clicked on this video ready for it be completely shit because I never thought anyone could find a way to make this song into something like this and all I gotta say is DAMN
Since rock/metal heads are giving this kind of flowers to us, I think it's nice to give flowers to them as well. As a Hip-Hop head myself, this is one of the sickest cover of all time!! Can't get enough of this.
i discover this song yesterday on a pub here in brazil... never heard such a perfect cover like this... BROKEN is a hell of a masterpiece... but this one... man is on another level... cheers from brazil... metal forever...
I actually have to agree. Because of how big of a meme the original version is, people don't take this song as a sad song, despite the sad lyrics. Hearing this cover actually makes the sound sorrowful, I love it.
I’ve been listening to this version of the song and seether’s music (although unbeknownst to me) for pretty much my entire life. My dad would play their music allll the time when I was young, and when I found them again after I got a phone and Apple Music and properly discovered rock music on my own, the nostalgia and the recognition of truly amazing music hit me like a truck lol. I was also under the impression that THIS was the original version until like less then 2 years ago lol so when I heard the original I was like this is so lame compared to the “real” one💀 anyways, I’d just like to say that this song is arguably one of, if not THE best cover, of any song, ever. It rips my heart out of my chest every time I listen to it.
THIS is the treatment the lyrics deserve. All the angst, all the pain, the heartbreak he feels for what he did. The George Michael version is a sad whimper (which the producers probably forced them to record that way for marketability); THIS is the gutwrenching, pain filled ROAR it was always meant to be!
There's a betrayal and so much regret mixed with the killer vocals. I like this harder version while showing respect to the creators and George Michael. Check out Gunhouse Hill. Carnie Sideshow Beauty Queen is my favorite song they perform.
For the longest time, I assumed that this was the original version of this song. Naturally that means it's my favorite, no disrespect to the saxophone.
Cordell Dixon Really!?! A Romantic Comedy? I'm more of a thriller/horror movie type... at least I'd know how to get out alive in that! Though, I am glad that you've enjoyed our conversation & I thank you for your very timely response & opinion.
George Michael - Careless Whisper (Seether cover) verse 1 I feel so unsure As I take your hand And lead you to the dance floor As the music dies Something in your eyes Calls to mind a silver screen And all its sad goodbyes chorus 1 ( I'm never gonna dance again These guilty feet have got no rhythm Though it's easy to pretend I know you're not a fool I should have known better than to cheat a friend And waste a chance that I'd been given So I'm never gonna dance again The way I danced with you ) verse 2 Time can never mend The careless whispers of a good friend To the heart and mind Ignorance is kind There's no comfort in the truth Pain is all you'll find chorus 2 ( I'm never gonna dance again These guilty feet have got no rhythm Though it's easy to pretend I know you're not a fool I should have known better than to cheat a friend And waste a chance that I'd been given So I'm never gonna dance again The way I danced with you ) verse 3 Tonight the music seems so loud I wish that we could lose this crowd Maybe it's better this way We'd hurt each other with the things we want to say We could have been so good together We could have lived this dance forever But now who's gonna dance with me Please stay! chorus 3 ( I'm never gonna dance again These guilty feet have got no rhythm Though it's easy to pretend I know you're not a fool I should have known better than to cheat a friend And waste a chance that I'd been given So I'm never gonna dance again The way I danced with you ) P.S. привет из 2021 )
*Careless Whisper - My Interpretation* As the man leads his girlfriend (his best-friend and love) to the dance floor, he feels so unsure. He has been cheating on her for so long and is racked with guilt and wants to tell her the truth. As he gazes into his girlfriends eyes he thinks, "She knows". She has always known but pretends she doesn't, he knows she not a fool. He tells her the truth but she says "It's fine" and, as a result, he can't comfort her. Broken, ridden with guilt, and alone, he reflects on his new-found loneliness when she leaves him. He starts thinking, "Why didn't she stay, did she NOT know that I was capable of learning from my mistakes? I'm only human. We all make mistakes. Did she ever think about how happy we could have been if she at least let me try?" As he goes over these things, he realizes....she isn't so innocent in this broken love either...
its a george michael cover and the song is a true story that he was with his boyfriend (yes george michael is gay if you didnt know) and he loved him but something happened and george cheated on him, his other half then found out but George felt like he had betrayed him and felt so guilty so swore to never dance with anyone ever again as it wouldnt be the same without his ex
Asuna Because he was her best friend, not just her lover. She never told him the truth and talked about how much his mistake bothered her (talking things out is important in a relationship) and left him without him ever being able to tell her just how much she meant to him. She never thought he could fix what was broken. She had no faith in the person that was her best friend...
Sometimes people react really differently on several situations you know.. Maybe the fact that he cheated on her was something unforgivable..... And personally I could never ever be with a person that has cheated on me before... It's not easy to forgive that kind of stuff..
Seeing one of my favorite be paired with my favorite genre of music in the most perfect way is amazing. Credit to seether for knowing how to make a great cover of a great song.
I was actually going to write this off as another lousy cover of a classic song. I heard the guitar replacing the iconic sax and i shuttered and turned it off. 5 minutes later I felt temped that i should give it a chance. They did a really good job. It takes a lot off talent to make a cover feel as good or even better than the original. Can only think of a handful of covers that have accomplished that. I'll add this to my list.
Let me explain..I respect and thanks the original all the times..the words or the poem where i feel the First Time got my respect but..if .. if i feel the poem a Little bit closer to me ..by someone else ..i Really dont care i didnt gain and i m not a judge..i Just speak my mind..so how can i explain to u that i dont give a fuck.& how can i make u understand..Respect and thanks to the original one..but.. if i prefer.. give me shelter by puddle of mudd..or bed of Roses by hinder..i ll be always thanks..but no Sorry.. .. there Is no Sorry !! ..and maybe im not normal and believe me i dont want discuss..but i m thinking that if i play or design your work..u should be proud !! ..okay im drink and by now i ll shout up !! ; ))
Stephanie Watkins here's something to blow your mind. a lot of popular songs by popular bands and musicians from Elvis to five finger death Punch are covers that only a small amount of listeners realize. Good luck finding out which. lol
I love this cover, and it’s awesome that George Michael was given credit as well.... I will say that drummer was ON POINT! love both versions,And although George Michaels and although George Michaels was a little more heart broken but in a softer tone, this was more heart wrenching and I love that. I agree with everyone else in this version,when he hits that part “please stay, “gets me every time
They try to hug each other like katy perry fries and taylor swift cheeseburger & run to each other w/ open arms in slow mo? My thoughts exactly 🤗. Great minds think alike 👊
I just listened to the original and this cover. As a kid until today, this particular song is in my top 20 songs ever. Seether takes the originals spot. The singer isn't 17 after a high school break up, he's got too many years of pain and hurt he's carried for much longer than 17 years. This isn't a man singing this, its a bared, ripped soul crying out. I love this cover. Good job Seether!
I can't believe this specific video is still up on RUclips after all this time. I remember listening to it back when I a freshman in highschool.... time flies man

The original sax gives more of a romantic feel but this feels sad and heart wrenching
That's exactly what I was thinking.
But the electric guitar gives it the sad sound, his angry voice the feeling of betrayal. As the song was meant to have.
No this gives excitement maybe not the 1 you ho looking for but a good rock shit. The other is just old n boring.
@@shalissawhojeschowski2873 I see mister is butthurted over someones opinion huh?
the original one was not romantic
The saxophone in the original is love and romance. The guitar in this is the tearing in half of the heart.
@B Jarreau It's ok bud, we all have a pain in the ass in some way or another
The saxophone in the original is pure sleaze.
The new version describes what the old version failed to!
@@Knightmare_143 While I appreciate the old version, I agree with you
200th like for you my good sir.
I honestly believe this is the best version, you can feel the hurt it's amazing. Been my favorite song for years

Metal touches everything with perfection- pain, anger, self belief, overcoming, moving on....
Except that this isn't metal. The song is pop, and Seether is a Post-Grunge band! They've never played metal.
@@Svartsejd yeah
Metal is especially good with classical music
Not every metal/rock artist has the same feel. See steel panther
@@Svartsejd and chill out. The rock/metal scene never asked anybody to freak out over subgenres.
This can be considered either rock or metal.
When he hits that "Please Stay!", his heart is torn. I feel him.
So very true
same with "pain is all you'll find"
That's his heart ona plate. That's what makes Seethers take special. They didn't phone it in, they did a Seether channeling of a classic song with heavy guitars and metal style drums.
You can't fake it with how he hits that note. He puts his stamp on the song
It's just a song, they rehearse until they hit the notes they want
When he hits that "Please Stay!" Gives me the chills
my heart screams with him when he sings that part every time!!!!! I agree with all the lyrics especially what my heart cries infinitely... PLEASE STAY!!!!!
Chris K True
@@skinni_the_P00hBear ;)
It feels worse if you screamed "Please stay" at some point in your life...
Seems so heroic.
George Michael's careless whisper :Romantic and she falls in love with you
Seether's version: After she breaks your heart
Have you looked at the lyrics of the original?
@@randomnessrules4971 just boutta say that
The lyrics are about cheating, actually.
Please look at rhe video of the original . The MAN cheats and regrets it. THAT is what thus song is about.
Look guys, I know that George Michael wrote this song about cheating and that he's the one cheating. You can contrast this song to the opposite gender as well, it's not like they won't cheat on you to. I wrote this as a joke, and if you are offended by it.... Then well that's you

This made me cry. I had a buddy that recently passed that did the same thing for me and my brother.
I've always wondered if George ever heard this version. I bet he would have been proud, because Seether nailed this.
He did hear this version. He signed off on it and cashed all the royalty checks ✔
@@davidbaron6680 he actually gave Careless Whisper to Andrew Ridgeley so he would never need money, ever.
I am a massive George Michael fan, literally cried for 3 days when he died. I just know he would have loved this version. He once heard someone murder it and gave them an ovation.
He always said, music isn't a competition, it's an expression. I have this on my George Michael playlist. It's THAT good!
I feel so unsure
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies, something in your eyes,
Calls to mind a silver screen and all its sad goodbyes
[Chorus]
I’m never gonna dance again, (‘cause (?)) guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it’s easy to pretend, I know you’re not a fool
I should’ve known better than to cheat a friend, and waste this chance that I’ve been given
So I’m never gonna dance again, the way I dance with you
Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind, ignorance is kind
There’s no comfort in the truth, pain is all you’ll find
[Chorus]
. . .
Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it is better this way
We’d hurt each other with the things we want to say
We could’ve been so good together
We could’ve lived this dance forever
Now who’s gonna dance with me
Please stay!

I'm only 57 but I wholeheartedly agree. My daughter played this for me, thinking I'd hate it. Love it!
These are awesome comments.
This is what a cover should always be! Faithful to the source to a fault, but never forgetting your own touch to it. This is perfect.
Forgetting your own touch to it...
This is seriously THE best song cover I've EVER heard my entire life. The first time I heard it I was blown away, and still am!

True that

That moment when the cover is so good and so different, the original and the cover become two seperate great songs. I know, you feel the same.
BingletonTV--- Like Disturbed's version of Simon & Garfunkel's "Sound of Silence"...
Yea or Marylin Manson’s cover of “Sweet Dreams”
Ruth Irvin Disturbeds cover of Sound of Silence is fucking trash. Simon & Garfunkles version is the only good version of that song.

Once in awhile you get a band that does a cover and they knock out of the ballpark.
Seether are more hard rock, but headbangers are absolutely capable of some incredibly beautiful and dark creations.

"Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind, ignorance is kind

is about the lies he told, how he feels bad about them, and how he wishes (she) never found out.

Found this cover while going through a hard time with my former best friend who I had a crush on about a month ago, I don't think there's a song more fit to how I felt or that hit me stronger then this when I heard it the first time but I've never really been one for the original as it always just sounded emotionless and like George Micheal never really meant what he sung, but this cover...just the emotion in every vocal to the song and every note to the music, just fits's the song perfectly.
I don't know too many other bands that could have done this the way Seether has, beautiful cover.
One of the best covers in the history of covers!
Caroline A agreed
Yeah I'm a year late, but I disagree
Soboba Fett what's the best covet in ur opinion then?
any cover by halestorm just trust me
It'd probably be Free Bird by Shinedown.
This is one of the best covers ever recorded, thank you Seether!
+Dixie Woods agreed!!
true
Quando uma versão fica melhor que a original 🤘🏻🇧🇷

Continuo com a mesma opinião de 2021 😅

Not better different
Não apela!
@@alexandrelima506 supera!
Na velocidade 1.25x melhora bastante!
original version was legendary, im sorry but this version is... the god level
+TurkishRider AYNEN
hem .. no
agreed, everything Seether does is God-level.. they are very underrated, in my opinion.
couldn't agree more !
Totally agree. This beats the original 100 to 1. Hell, I even remember listening to this on 94.5 The Buzz when I was younger. Loved it then, and still love it today.
seether nailed it .......................the metal aspect is incredible................RIP to George
PLEASE STAAAAAYYYYY.. Still gives me goosebumps after all this years
my dad really loved this cover, listening to it reminds me so much of when we'd go around driving and he'd blast this song :) miss you dad
Listen to the song with your kids and tell them things about yo dad 😊 have a great day!!
“Alexa play careless whisper”
“You know what I’m feeling angry!”
“Alexa play CARELESS WHISPER By SEETHER”
🤣🤣🤣
haha that seems like a glamandgore reference haha i dont think it is but whichever lol
@@emmywilliams yesss!
My sentiments exactly
Omidog! This is quite possibly the BEST cover version of any song I've ever heard! Freakin awesome.

Right??? It never gets old
Yes
I been on a Seether kick since 2012 lol
Essa versão ficou sensacional, impossível parar de ouvir.
2021
I clicked on this video ready for it be completely shit because I never thought anyone could find a way to make this song into something like this and all I gotta say is DAMN
i feel your pain
name is trinity
on dif com
I love this i hated the original
I know me too lol it's awesome
I thought the same thing when I heard mud vein do king of pain
Ok ok, ki van itt a THEVR miatt? 😀
én
me
Dazo911 én
Én XD
És ki ismerte előtte is az előadót és a számot?
I'm not really into rock but this is golden. They turned it so dark and powerful
Rodrigo Mirra damn right!
Straight chills throughout such emotion!!
Rodrigo Mirra just like my penis
jack inthecrack giggity
Its a song about cheating, its already dark with a powerful message.
Since rock/metal heads are giving this kind of flowers to us, I think it's nice to give flowers to them as well. As a Hip-Hop head myself, this is one of the sickest cover of all time!! Can't get enough of this.
He put so much feeling into this song. Best version of the song
This version is really good, but george michael is a terrific singer...the original is even better
@@ThiagoOliveira-iv2nx nothing beats the original
Most of the time I like the original better, sometimes this one more. Depends on my mood lol.
that's the beauty of seether
Best cover I ever heard. Ugh, the passion in it. SEETHER🤘🤘
Heck yeah
feck yeah
I did not expect this to be as good as it was. Damn, glad I gave it a listen.
i discover this song yesterday on a pub here in brazil... never heard such a perfect cover like this... BROKEN is a hell of a masterpiece... but this one... man is on another level... cheers from brazil... metal forever...
Man, I'm sorry but this version of the songs really feels like it was meant to be this way.
Timothy Belt yessssss ❤️
Timothy Belt hell yeaaaaa
I actually have to agree.
Because of how big of a meme the original version is, people don't take this song as a sad song, despite the sad lyrics.
Hearing this cover actually makes the sound sorrowful, I love it.
++
Never feel sorry. Feeling sorry would imply guilt. This version is totally kick ass. It kicks any feelings of sorrow out the window.
Glam and gore?
Veronica Solorzano heello zombaes :p
More zombeas 😍😊
Veronica Solorzano her video brought me here too 😜 I am so glad it did, this version slaps
Heyy!
Veronica Solorzano yeaahhhh
I’ve been listening to this version of the song and seether’s music (although unbeknownst to me) for pretty much my entire life. My dad would play their music allll the time when I was young, and when I found them again after I got a phone and Apple Music and properly discovered rock music on my own, the nostalgia and the recognition of truly amazing music hit me like a truck lol. I was also under the impression that THIS was the original version until like less then 2 years ago lol so when I heard the original I was like this is so lame compared to the “real” one💀 anyways, I’d just like to say that this song is arguably one of, if not THE best cover, of any song, ever. It rips my heart out of my chest every time I listen to it.
THIS is the treatment the lyrics deserve. All the angst, all the pain, the heartbreak he feels for what he did. The George Michael version is a sad whimper (which the producers probably forced them to record that way for marketability); THIS is the gutwrenching, pain filled ROAR it was always meant to be!
There's a betrayal and so much regret mixed with the killer vocals. I like this harder version while showing respect to the creators and George Michael. Check out Gunhouse Hill. Carnie Sideshow Beauty Queen is my favorite song they perform.
For the longest time, I assumed that this was the original version of this song. Naturally that means it's my favorite, no disrespect to the saxophone.
Dr. Evil same
I couldn't even imagine what it was like to think this was the original and then hear the original 😂
Yeah, same here.
Same here too.
Funniest thing is I even thought the original one was the remake one of this "original" one. 😂
I want some freaking sharks with freaking lazers on heads
Best cover ever! I remember singing this all the time in high school. We'll miss you George😔
I like this version and the way Seether maintains their own style.
An hour ago, I heard this for the first time on the radio. I've listened to it 6x since. Amazing
BEST COVER EVER!!!
+Kevin jvl Kano! :'v
1st cover i like more than original version
FFDP bad company! just as good.
+ASDASD ASDASD listen to all ffdp covers
💕
Can't believe I just found this. It is amazing.
Yall are cute haha
It's a brilliant song! ^-^
***** I enjoy the original as well. The video sucks ass though! But to each their own😃
This is too much haha. There has to be a Romantic Comedy that started this way lol
Cordell Dixon Really!?! A Romantic Comedy? I'm more of a thriller/horror movie type... at least I'd know how to get out alive in that! Though, I am glad that you've enjoyed our conversation & I thank you for your very timely response & opinion.
For a cover, it’s fucking amazing
Difícil um cover ficar tão bom quanto original. Esse ficou show
I wasn't expecting this to be this good...
John Doe so you stated the original is trash too
What the fuck?
Cagey Troller im not saying that at all both are delightful, just what ever trash they listen to, to make them think this wouldn't have been good.
Omg me either it's my new favorite song
John Doe
God, chill out dude...
Arthur W you talking shit
NEVER HEARD A BETTER VERSION OF THIS SONG!!!!!
agreed!! never ger tired of this version
Chris K - Totally agree!
The og is better
Omg bro i remember the og version but dude this brings me to tears an gives me chills all over

George Michael - Careless Whisper (Seether cover)
verse 1
I feel so unsure
As I take your hand
And lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies
Something in your eyes
Calls to mind a silver screen
And all its sad goodbyes
chorus 1
( I'm never gonna dance again
These guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should have known better than to cheat a friend
And waste a chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you )
verse 2
Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find
chorus 2
( I'm never gonna dance again
These guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should have known better than to cheat a friend
And waste a chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you )
verse 3
Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we want to say
We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But now who's gonna dance with me
Please stay!
chorus 3
( I'm never gonna dance again
These guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should have known better than to cheat a friend
And waste a chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you )
P.S. привет из 2021 )
*Careless Whisper - My Interpretation*
As the man leads his girlfriend (his best-friend and love) to the dance floor, he feels so unsure. He has been cheating on her for so long and is racked with guilt and wants to tell her the truth. As he gazes into his girlfriends eyes he thinks, "She knows". She has always known but pretends she doesn't, he knows she not a fool. He tells her the truth but she says "It's fine" and, as a result, he can't comfort her. Broken, ridden with guilt, and alone, he reflects on his new-found loneliness when she leaves him. He starts thinking, "Why didn't she stay, did she NOT know that I was capable of learning from my mistakes? I'm only human. We all make mistakes. Did she ever think about how happy we could have been if she at least let me try?" As he goes over these things, he realizes....she isn't so innocent in this broken love either...
its a george michael cover and the song is a true story that he was with his boyfriend (yes george michael is gay if you didnt know) and he loved him but something happened and george cheated on him, his other half then found out but George felt like he had betrayed him and felt so guilty so swore to never dance with anyone ever again as it wouldnt be the same without his ex
Sam Mansfield He's bisexual.
bberg21 Why isnt she innocent ? :|
Asuna Because he was her best friend, not just her lover. She never told him the truth and talked about how much his mistake bothered her (talking things out is important in a relationship) and left him without him ever being able to tell her just how much she meant to him. She never thought he could fix what was broken. She had no faith in the person that was her best friend...
Sometimes people react really differently on several situations you know.. Maybe the fact that he cheated on her was something unforgivable..... And personally I could never ever be with a person that has cheated on me before... It's not easy to forgive that kind of stuff..
Seeing one of my favorite be paired with my favorite genre of music in the most perfect way is amazing. Credit to seether for knowing how to make a great cover of a great song.
"There's no comfort in the truth. Pain is all you'll find."
Maybe it's better this way, we hurt each other with the things we wanna say
Please don't staaaaaaaay!
"The truth shall set you free"
" Please .... STAY !!!!!!!!!!!! "
I'm a die hard George Michael fan. I listen to his music every day. I was expecting to not like a redo of this song, but it's pretty good!
Yeah Right
That's True
The dislikes are from the ones who feel guilty and have no rhythm.
ha ha right! u can feel this version!!
Exactly 😂🤣😂😂😂😁😆
I was actually going to write this off as another lousy cover of a classic song. I heard the guitar replacing the iconic sax and i shuttered and turned it off. 5 minutes later I felt temped that i should give it a chance. They did a really good job. It takes a lot off talent to make a cover feel as good or even better than the original. Can only think of a handful of covers that have accomplished that. I'll add this to my list.
@@vortexrace definitely better than the original. I'm a huge metalhead tho so yea
Guess they'll just never dance again
I don't usually like covers, but goddammit this is gooooooood!
Absolutely mindblowing!❤
I hate covers to but i have heard a few good ones
Let me explain..I respect and thanks the original all the times..the words or the poem where i feel the First Time got my respect but..if .. if i feel the poem a Little bit closer to me ..by someone else ..i Really dont care i didnt gain and i m not a judge..i Just speak my mind..so how can i explain to u that i dont give a fuck.& how can i make u understand..Respect and thanks to the original one..but.. if i prefer.. give me shelter by puddle of mudd..or bed of Roses by hinder..i ll be always thanks..but no Sorry.. .. there Is no Sorry !! ..and maybe im not normal and believe me i dont want discuss..but i m thinking that if i play or design your work..u should be proud !! ..okay im drink and by now i ll shout up !! ; ))
Stephanie Watkins here's something to blow your mind. a lot of popular songs by popular bands and musicians from Elvis to five finger death Punch are covers that only a small amount of listeners realize. Good luck finding out which. lol
Man.. I love this. Awesome cover.
Verdadeira obra de arte. ❤️
I'm not sure which I like better, the smooth Wham! Version with the saxophone part, or the more ballad sounding rock version of this one
Love both but, in terms of great covers, Seether made one of the best ever.
This cover brought my childhood fave to life in such an amazing way. Love Love Love it. You can hear how angry he is with himself.
Sonia Buck I'm assuming you heard Disturbed's cover on Sounds of Silence....that is in my opinion the best cover I've ever heard
In my opinion this and Marylin Manson’s cover of “Sweet Dreams” are tied for the best cover in history.
I love this cover, and it’s awesome that George Michael was given credit as well.... I will say that drummer was ON POINT! love both versions,And although George Michaels and although George Michaels was a little more heart broken but in a softer tone, this was more heart wrenching and I love that. I agree with everyone else in this version,when he hits that part “please stay, “gets me every time
When two metalheads see each other in public
That’s a game it’s called sally face
They try to hug each other like katy perry fries and taylor swift cheeseburger & run to each other w/ open arms in slow mo? My thoughts exactly 🤗. Great minds think alike 👊
I just listened to the original and this cover. As a kid until today, this particular song is in my top 20 songs ever.
Seether takes the originals spot. The singer isn't 17 after a high school break up, he's got too many years of pain and hurt he's carried for much longer than 17 years. This isn't a man singing this, its a bared, ripped soul crying out.
I love this cover. Good job Seether!
Still gonna be listening in 2019
Joseph Nickles absolutely!!
Way ahead of ya
Aye aye cap'n
Joseph Nickles 2019... We're still listening Are you??_
Good for you but what the hell I do that information?
Carajo, es de los mejores cover que he escuchado en mi vida
2020! 😍🖤
Such a great cover of this song..It's hard to believe but, George Michael wrote Careless Whisper when he was only 17...Such talent. 🙌
One of the best rock covers of all time
Very True
This song was never supposed to be 'romantic'. Its about heartbreak.
Isn’t it about the regret of having cheated on someone? XD
I love the original, but this version is just too good. It totally fits Seether too, and I love this song as it was, so this is a Win=Win for me =P
Rest In Peace George Michael :(
😭😭
John Handcock only 53 if I am correct, it fucking sucks R.I.P.
god dammit 2016 killing everyone
Alan Rickman, David Bowie, George Michael, Carrie Fisher, the list goes on!
You forgot Lemmy...
I can't believe this specific video is still up on RUclips after all this time. I remember listening to it back when I a freshman in highschool.... time flies man
O melhor cover que já ouvi!!!
Indeed
This is one of the best covers of all time but nothing will ever beat Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt to me, ever.
This x100
Kermit frog's cover comes pretty damned close.
+Effin Cook lmao
+Vienna Rose I love you for that!
Johnny Cash did Hurt first though.
The best cover in my list, alongside with Disturbed Sound Of Silence.
Disturbed covered a Simon and Garfunkel classic?!
+Amane Mizuhashi yeah, on immortalized, it's really good
Song ruined by meme
Love it
Cristiano Siqueira try Disturbed cover of Shout
I love this better then the original, I can feel his pain and I think that is how it was meant to be.
Love this and the original both equally! Well executed on both sides! ❤️🖤
Que versão fodástica!!! ❤🔥😌
Much better than the original in my opinion
that voice and the background music is so much more interesting to my ears
One of the best covers and what a voice 🔥
Seems George is never gonna dance again. Rest in peace.
he's dancin in heaven yo... lucky God 😂😂😂😂miss him
Daren Redman 😂😂😂😭
Daren Redman He is in Valhalla dancing and eating with the gods
Daren Redman he's dancing in heaven brother
but he's George Michael so he is in wherever the fuck he wants
This is like the perfect recipe, take a great song add a pinch of metal then sit back and enjoy
my math teacher had us write the lyrics to this song as a bonus question, good man
Bailey Richard lol my maths teacher played this exact song as we walked into class
My math teacher did some thing similar, except with a lot of other songs
Math teachers... they're special, folks
Sounds like a man with good taste
Bailey Richard for what purpose?
