I'm so grateful that Achilles Come Down has been given more airplay. It's never played live (probably due to its length). The combo of Tones & I unique voice, the choir and strings really do this song justice.
I love it how on 4:10 although she don't sing ''Today, of all days see, how...'' if you sing it fits perfectly when she start ''The most dangerous thing is to love''
Now THIS is a cover. They OWNED it, my goodness. This song brings me to tears every time, but this one... THIS ONE! My eyes sting with salt and parched of water after it poured every single drop. Edit, this is when I backed away from the ledge. 5:05
Well no shit.. he/she is commenting on this video so it's about this cover cos the original song is on Spotify but this cover is not on Spotify @@jaycal6405
5:09 the choir singing the positive part but the the distinct voice of the lead being the outliers is so fucking smart. Doesn’t matter how many people encourage you, that little voice in the back will always be there.
I appreciate how different this is from the original in terms of arrangement but it's still very much in the spirit of the original. I always love a Like A Version with strings and/or choir and this is one of my favourite songs of all time. As far as I'm concerned, Tones and I has my respect now.
this is such a masterpiece the original is a work of art and this cover is capable of being just as good in such a respectful way her voice never really got to me until now, this is so incredible such a wonderful performance of a incredible song, this and the original deserve more recognition
I am hopelessly addicted to those chimes at 3:52. Never heard another cover of this song do that and I still have chills every time I hear it. Are those microtones?! I know it's something between A# and G, but it doesn't sound like those chimes are tuned to semitones... I don't understand it, but it's incredible. A# - F## - F##? Maybe A# - Abb - F##???
Had to stop what I was doing and watch this with 100% concentration. I've got chills, i've got goose bumps, my eyes are sensing onions hearing that crescendo...Tones' singing brought home Dave's battles with 'Achilles' beautifully. I'm sure the Gang will love it and this is contender for best of 2022/23 LaV!
Just finished the book and her cover is so fuckingly amazing I have literal chills throughout the entire video, god damn it now Idk which version I'm gonna be listening to while I'm sobbing thinking about the ending😭
I didn't think that the voice of Tones and I would fit with this song, since this song has a nuance of ancient Greek tragedy and I thought her voice is somehow modern, but I'm honestly surprised by how she conveys the emotion. I can feel the sadness and pain of Achilles now..I personally think this is better than the original one
Just an incredible version, and just an insane voice. Absolutely one of the best ever like a version I have ever listened to. Tones and I, you are just amazingly talented beyond belief. MACKELMORE is not wrong in believing you are one of the best talents and singing voices on the planet. His European tour in 2023 would not be the same without you on it. An absolute inspiration
5 years to month of me listening to the original album on repeat pulling myself out of an unhealthy headspace. Amazing how life works in circles. Tones and I , you nailed it, thankyou.
lyrics: Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, come down Won't you get up off, get up off the roof? You're scaring us and all of us, some of us love you Achilles, it's not much but there's proof You crazy-assed cosmonaut, remember your virtue Redemption lies plainly in truth Just humor us, Achilles, Achilles, come down Won't you get up off, get up off the roof? Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, come down Won't you get up off, get up off the roof? The self is not so weightless, nor whole and unbroken Remember the pact of our youth Where you go, I'm going, so jump and I'm jumping Since there is no me without you Soldier on, Achilles, Achilles, come down Won't you get up off, get up off the roof? Loathe the way they light candles in Rome But love the sweet air of the votives Hurt and grieve but don't suffer alone Engage with the pain as a motive Today, of all days, see How the most dangerous thing is to love How you will heal and you'll rise above Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, jump now You are absent of cause or excuse So self-indulgent and self-referential No audience could ever want you You crave the applause yet hate the attention Then miss it, your act is a ruse It is empty, Achilles, so end it all now It's a pointless resistance for you Achilles, Achilles, just put down the bottle Don't listen to what you've consumed It's chaos, confusion and wholly unworthy Of feeding and it's wholly untrue You may feel no purpose nor a point for existing It's all just conjecture and gloom And there may not be meaning, so find one and seize it Do not waste yourself on this roof Hear those bells ring deep in the soul Chiming away for a moment Feel your breath course frankly below And see life as a worthy opponent The most dangerous thing is to love (8x) You want the acclaim, the mother of mothers (it's not worth it, Achilles) More poignant than fame or the taste of another (don't listen, Achilles) But be real and just jump, you dense motherfucker (you're worth more, Achilles) You will not be more than a rat in the gutter (so much more than a rat) You want my opinion, my opinion you've got (no one asked your opinion) You asked for my counsel, I gave you my thoughts (no one asked for your thoughts) Be done with this now and jump off the roof (be done with this now and get off the roof) Can you hear me, Achilles? I'm talking to you I'm talking to you I'm talking to you I'm talking to you
This is amazing!! The original version is 100% amazing but this brings a whole different dimension to the song!!!!! Weather you like "Tones and I" or not you have to agree it's a beautiful arrangement!
And this poor woman with this angelic voice feels like she's the new Nickelback 😭😭 and that Dance Monkey ruined her life. 😭 I didn't even realize they were the same artists until a video I watched. Please ma'am you have the voice of an angel 😭😭😭
Was a bit undecided on this as its one of my favourite songs and not a fan of Tones and I but once the choir starting doing the duet at the end I was sold.

Go behind Tones And I's Like A Version: ruclips.net/video/gU6h-rT0NgI/видео.html
nice
I just heard an entire choir sing "No one asked your opinion" so it's a successful cover in my eyes
No one asked for your opinion
Oh God. I'm in for it, now. (Just started the video)
I'm so grateful that Achilles Come Down has been given more airplay. It's never played live (probably due to its length). The combo of Tones & I unique voice, the choir and strings really do this song justice.
OMG YESS
The only song in my 20 years on earth to put me in such a state of emotion of tears.

The “Can you hear me Achilles?” At 5:43 is borderline orgasmic
I love it how on 4:10 although she don't sing ''Today, of all days see, how...'' if you sing it fits perfectly when she start ''The most dangerous thing is to love''

It's a crime this isn't on Spotify 😢
Wait are you talking about this cover
Well no shit.. he/she is commenting on this video so it's about this cover cos the original song is on Spotify but this cover is not on Spotify @@jaycal6405
Go search for the original.. it destroyed me.. left me shaking in fear and tears.z
5:09 the choir singing the positive part but the the distinct voice of the lead being the outliers is so fucking smart.

3:54 is the BEST moment in this cover. The sound goes straight to the soul especially with the bell sounds
this is such a masterpiece
the original is a work of art and this cover is capable of being just as good in such a respectful way
her voice never really got to me until now, this is so incredible
such a wonderful performance of a incredible song, this and the original deserve more recognition
Just when I thought it was impossible to love this song any more than I already do.
one of the best songs to ever exist and I loved this cover and choir WOW
3:52 always gives me goosebumps
I am hopelessly addicted to those chimes at 3:52. Never heard another cover of this song do that and I still have chills every time I hear it. Are those microtones?! I know it's something between A# and G, but it doesn't sound like those chimes are tuned to semitones... I don't understand it, but it's incredible. A# - F## - F##? Maybe A# - Abb - F##???
Love this cover! Tones and I's frail, powerful, cruel, and loving musical tones are amazing and out of this world!
Had to stop what I was doing and watch this with 100% concentration. I've got chills, i've got goose bumps, my eyes are sensing onions hearing that crescendo...Tones' singing brought home Dave's battles with 'Achilles' beautifully. I'm sure the Gang will love it and this is contender for best of 2022/23 LaV!
A most beautiful cover for a most beautiful song
Tones, this is amazing. Thank u for sharing this with us all.
Shocking song. Brings tears to my eyes. Must be insanely hard to perform.
Just finished the book and her cover is so fuckingly amazing I have literal chills throughout the entire video, god damn it now Idk which version I'm gonna be listening to while I'm sobbing thinking about the ending😭
what book bro
Yeah, which book man?
@@ShiningFinger005 Haven't read it but pretty sure they mean "The Song of Achilles" ^^
Halleluah 🙏🙏☝️☝️🙏🙏 viver par sempre o rei dos hebreus yausha hamashya 🙏☝️🙏
Brilliant. Never heard this song before but Tones and I has done an incredibly beautiful rendition here - quite an epic. Thanks.
I'm crying, I love this song, it's my favorite and I love the story of Achilles 😭🩷
Just wow!😢 I love tsoa and this song and it's message. I didn't have goosebumps, goosebumbs had me
This is my favorite Like A Version of all time. So well done.
The ending of this song is absolutely insane
What a flawless performance!! Gorgeous from start to finish, her tone was fabulous and all of that beautiful backing was the icing on the cake.
This arrangement is absolutely gorgeous! Tones and I really shows her music chops.
Só fã de carteirinha essa é minha cantora preferida ,o i resto é flamerda Deus zeus senhor flabaal jesus Yeshua Ivete Sangalo meia colher
Gut-wrenchingly beautiful, made for those of us with aching hearts.
i love this. Her vocal style with this arrangement reminds me so much of early Sia
I was thinking the same thing! Although early Sia was often so mumbly you couldn't make out the words. Tones strikes a nice balance here.
I didn't think that the voice of Tones and I would fit with this song, since this song has a nuance of ancient Greek tragedy and I thought her voice is somehow modern, but I'm honestly surprised by how she conveys the emotion. I can feel the sadness and pain of Achilles now..I personally think this is better than the original one
I prefer the original, but this slaps aswl 🔥
I like both versions. They both give different vibes
my favourite like a version so far this year!!!
I've listened to the original version countless times, but this cover has made me actually hear the lyrics for the first time....
Goosebumps all over. Holy hell! Absolutely love this
Not a big fan of Tones and I, but she NAILED this !!!!! Beautifully arranged and performed
O rei dos hebreus yausha hamashya 🙏 abençoe sempre essa brilhante cantora
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😘🇧🇷💚❤️🇮🇱🇨🇭🇨🇮🇳🇬🇳🇪🇲🇴🇮🇷🇱🇺
Just an incredible version, and just an insane voice. Absolutely one of the best ever like a version I have ever listened to. Tones and I, you are just amazingly talented beyond belief.
MACKELMORE is not wrong in believing you are one of the best talents and singing voices on the planet. His European tour in 2023 would not be the same without you on it. An absolute inspiration
This arrangement is just as beautiful as it is powerful. When the song shifts with "you dense MFR" .... Yes!
5 years to month of me listening to the original album on repeat pulling myself out of an unhealthy headspace. Amazing how life works in circles. Tones and I , you nailed it, thankyou.
I'm not crying...you are!!!

lyrics:
Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, come down
Won't you get up off, get up off the roof?
You're scaring us and all of us, some of us love you
Achilles, it's not much but there's proof
You crazy-assed cosmonaut, remember your virtue
Redemption lies plainly in truth
Just humor us, Achilles, Achilles, come down
Won't you get up off, get up off the roof?
Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, come down
Won't you get up off, get up off the roof?
The self is not so weightless, nor whole and unbroken
Remember the pact of our youth
Where you go, I'm going, so jump and I'm jumping
Since there is no me without you
Soldier on, Achilles, Achilles, come down
Won't you get up off, get up off the roof?
Loathe the way they light candles in Rome
But love the sweet air of the votives
Hurt and grieve but don't suffer alone
Engage with the pain as a motive
Today, of all days, see
How the most dangerous thing is to love
How you will heal and you'll rise above
Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, jump now
You are absent of cause or excuse
So self-indulgent and self-referential
No audience could ever want you
You crave the applause yet hate the attention
Then miss it, your act is a ruse
It is empty, Achilles, so end it all now
It's a pointless resistance for you
Achilles, Achilles, just put down the bottle
Don't listen to what you've consumed
It's chaos, confusion and wholly unworthy
Of feeding and it's wholly untrue
You may feel no purpose nor a point for existing
It's all just conjecture and gloom
And there may not be meaning, so find one and seize it
Do not waste yourself on this roof
Hear those bells ring deep in the soul
Chiming away for a moment
Feel your breath course frankly below
And see life as a worthy opponent
The most dangerous thing is to love (8x)
You want the acclaim, the mother of mothers
(it's not worth it, Achilles)
More poignant than fame or the taste of another
(don't listen, Achilles)
But be real and just jump, you dense motherfucker
(you're worth more, Achilles)
You will not be more than a rat in the gutter
(so much more than a rat)
You want my opinion, my opinion you've got
(no one asked your opinion)
You asked for my counsel, I gave you my thoughts
(no one asked for your thoughts)
Be done with this now and jump off the roof
(be done with this now and get off the roof)
Can you hear me, Achilles? I'm talking to you
I'm talking to you
I'm talking to you
I'm talking to you
Wow!! Absolutely love this, her voice is something else 🫶🏻 brilliant performance
This is amazing, love her voice
This is amazing!! The original version is 100% amazing but this brings a whole different dimension to the song!!!!! Weather you like "Tones and I" or not you have to agree it's a beautiful arrangement!
And this poor woman with this angelic voice feels like she's the new Nickelback 😭😭 and that Dance Monkey ruined her life. 😭 I didn't even realize they were the same artists until a video I watched. Please ma'am you have the voice of an angel 😭😭😭
What happend?? How Dance Monkey ruined her life??
You know it's pure talent and ridiculously beautiful music when it sends shivers through your whole body. Absolutely outstanding!
This is really something wonderful. You can always trust Like a Version to deliver something you didn't know you needed.
I would give anything to see Dave's reaction to hearing this for the first time. Tears I bet.
Wonderful performance 👏
I've been searching over RUclips for a good cover of this song. Finally found it.
I love this song thank you Toni ❤ your voice is magical.
This is EXACTLY why, five years after leaving Australia, Triple J is still my favorite place for music. 🙏
Absolutely amazing. Thanks chick!
This is incredible! I cant stop listening to it
This is fucking amazing, Tones and I’s best performance ever in my opinion, and she’s had some bloody great ones!

Nádherná skladba a prednes speváčky úžasný zbožňujem jej skladbu držím jej palce a nech sa jej darí👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤
I've never heard this song and listened to the original and think I love this more. 5:00mins onwards...what an ending ..magical sound
Wow this was amazing ❤️
Tones is such a sweet soul. She recently visited a school local to her hometown, just to visit . So amazing 👏
Talented woman!
