I am quite surprised this video hasn't gotten more hits. Its brilliant. I keep coming back to it. Its played with so much emotion, you can FEEL this song when its being played.
Why cant the Massive Attack fans get over it and just accept this new cover? I think this is great, and a very fun emotional cover. I actually prefer it to the original.
I was raised up on the original. I still remember that day when I saw the clip for the first time. It was magic. This is one of the most impotant songs of my life. And I'm saying this is as amazing as Massive Attack. But dear Lord, how is that even possible??
I loved the original MA version. It's hard to do a great cover - you've got to keep what made the song great and still manage to add something of your own to the mix in a way that the song feels fresh. These guys managed to do a great job. Terrific cover. Been playing the studio version of this for a while now. If you haven't already picked it up, do yourself a favor.
if people would open their minds a little more they'd realize how great this cover is! i bet it's even better when you get to hear (and feel) this live, and when i say live i mean in front of the stage and not youtube-live!
this is good! its so hard to listen to a cover of a song thats by your favorite band, because everything pales in comparision. but if you look at this objectively, its a really good cover. his voice adds an interesting twist to the song, and the change in rhythim gives it a bit of a funky flavor
@J4YTR he uses a new technology that allows him to record a loop of instrumental so that while the loop is playing, he can add another base line to the rhythm.
It's true this isn't an amazing cover, but Civil Twilight did do quite a few great things during this song. Steven's little bass improv in the middle is actually quite tasteful, but more importantly, they really captured a feeling with this song. It's something that they do especially well. They can really make people feel with their (and other people's music). However, this is a surprisingly difficult song to sing and it just wasn't there. but, lay off, they tried pretty hard
I love Civil Twilight but Jose Gonzalez does far more justice to this particular song. Check out his version on RUclips. It was in an episode of "House".
the poignant melody written by massive attack, leveled by lyrix of such heart can not fail any who dare to cover it, elizabeth's original phrasing outdoes most while his falsetto soars
I love Civil Twilight but Jose Gonzalez does far more justice to this song, just my opinion. It was used in an episode of "House". Check it out here on RUclips
@cloudcollector83 It is better. I saw them last Thursday and was literally right against the stage when they played this. It was the most intense experience ever.
In the middle of the song when you hear the bass playing the same notes over and over how come the guy on the bass isn't plucking the strings along with the music?
i hate covers of everything, it just pisses me off when shity bands cover good bands music and try and copy it and ruin it.....so i came into this video thinking it was gona be terrible, but i was really impressed, the whole soft loud thing is amazing, i have never even heard of this band before..... outstanding, completely new twist on it
Massive Attack is just one of those bands that you don't mess with by making covers. That guy really shouldn't have tried to go up an octave, it sounded terrible
I don't like it. They get the lyrics wrong in the first place, even if it is intentional, and then they never finish the song. Instead they opted to go with repeating "Teardrop on your fire, I can feel it dripping" for five overly long minutes.
This was a weak cover. I'm a fan of MA, CT, JB, MD, AS, BB, CC, and all the other artists. Still doesn't change the fact that this was a lazy sloppy cover that sounds like a middle school garage band.

I love this band... I love all their songs!
me too!

We're over it, just like tears for fears fans are over it and Kate Bush fans are.
Massive attack is enourmous, but we must all give credit to civil twilight!!!! This version is MENTAL!!!!!

Fucking Brilliant Cover. Well done Civil Twilight this is a hard song to cover.
I loved the original MA version.

Really awesome rendition, I love what they did at the end. I'm a big MA fan, never heard of these guys till tonight.
@turbojason Actually, the original lyrics are "fearless on my breath"...
Outstanding.
Love this cover!
I'm a Massive Attack fan and I have to this outstanding!
AMAZING COVER OF A CLASSIC MASSIVE ATTACK SONG !!!!!!
Today, I got to know Chester Bennington admired Steven. I can feel that through this masterpiece.
@cloudcollector83 These guys blew me away live - opening. Anberlin was playing for the main show and didnt' come close.
if people would open their minds a little more they'd realize how great this cover is!
i bet it's even better when you get to hear (and feel) this live, and when i say live i mean in front of the stage and not youtube-live!
Love this so much. I'm a huge fan of CT!
this is good! its so hard to listen to a cover of a song thats by your favorite band, because everything pales in comparision.

love this band, hope to see u in the uk soon guys your amazing!
whoa now. whoa. I would die if they played that on their stop here in Kansas City July 19th.
@yellow2nd
At least you got to see them live. I don't think they'll be coming to Australia anytime in the near future :|
@schmelison I actually was on the fence about Civil Twilight but this cover made me fall in love them. To each their own! :-)
So expressive, artistic design apt!
Ian Curtis is back! :)
@J4YTR he uses a new technology that allows him to record a loop of instrumental so that while the loop is playing, he can add another base line to the rhythm.
l love this band I heard Steve sing at tribute to Chester B I looked them up fell in luv I like there music it's different and so soulfull
This is bloody brilliant!
This deserves more views, epic.
I love love love that!)))) I love the Civil Twilight!!!)))
I liked the band and now suddenly I like them more. Good taste!
they are great live!
Newton Faulkner is a close second to MA, but I'm not sure where to place this one. Changing the lyrics was a bit too much for me. :P
i never heard these guys til I am Number Four & thought he sounded like Bono, love his voice, very beautiful expressive & powerful.
It's true this isn't an amazing cover, but Civil Twilight did do quite a few great things during this song.

@cloudcollector83 You have no idea...it's an experience for sure.
I love Civil Twilight but Jose Gonzalez does far more justice to this particular song. Check out his version on RUclips. It was in an episode of "House".
@thinkfire1 I see that iTunes has release a copy.
I feel like his voice just hugs me! :)) ♥ Civil Twilight!
This is so beautiful.
they're so great.
civil twilight>>>
amazing, just amazing. thx!
Just saw this cover tonight when they opened for Anberlin, fucking epic.
Absolutely Brill....
seeing this cover live was crazy
the poignant melody written by massive attack, leveled by lyrix of such heart can not fail any who dare to cover it, elizabeth's original phrasing outdoes most while his falsetto soars
Empathised, felt right?
One word... WOW!
I love Civil Twilight but Jose Gonzalez does far more justice to this song, just my opinion. It was used in an episode of "House". Check it out here on RUclips
It was invented in the early 1990s. Another good artist that uses it is Ed Sheeran. KT Tunstall is also awesome at it too.
I’m a huge massive attack fan you could call me a massive massive attack fan and I really like this

We do a cover of this song as well, Its defintely better in a rock version. Well done guys!
best cover ever
i prefer this to the original. just beautiful.
Is there an official CD out with this remix/cover?
unique... more perfection than the perfect concept of the original
Best song EVER!!!! :-)
What a cover. Ghostly. Kinda got a "little death" - neighborhood feel to it.
Lovelovelovelove.
looks im one of the few MA attacks that likes this cover, alot of originality on one of the classics.
@cloudcollector83 It is better. I saw them last Thursday and was literally right against the stage when they played this. It was the most intense experience ever.
Yah I think these guys are the real deal hope all goes well for them.
In the middle of the song when you hear the bass playing the same notes over and over how come the guy on the bass isn't plucking the strings along with the music?
where can i download this?

@rodrigorenzo ahahah! :-D
why are your live performances so different??
feel like the sun might give way. the lyrics are, "feather's on my brain".
I love this cover but the MP3 sounds much better than the live.
I wonder why they changed the lyrics
love the song. but i he's totally chanelling sting's bass playing.
Очень круто👍надеюсь канал ещё жив)
Damn this version is good.
Look, we all know I got a godly voice... but if I was given the opportunity, I'd switch voices with this guy in a heartbeat.
Who the fuck ARE you?
So good! Listen ours song , it would be nice to be able to catch up your sound
richard is such a good drummer...great cover, i guess
fan from Pakistan 🇵🇰

It's all wonderful but i'd like to hear guitar a bit louder.
Somehow I wandered from the awesome cover of "Acoustic Labs - TearDrop"
to this shit. I´m taking the steps back to real talent...

House M.D intro!!!
WTF THIS BAND IS THE SHIT
6 people were humiliated by Dr. House.
Massive Attack is just one of those bands that you don't mess with by making covers. That guy really shouldn't have tried to go up an octave, it sounded terrible
ahah
No thanks. I'll keep listening to MA.
a great song... a good band ... but to be honest, I was disappointed when I saw them live... :(
All right, good cover so far, but why not singing the right words properly ? Doesn't make any sense, he seems not understanding the song.
shit WTF ths HIgh tonality
I don't like it. They get the lyrics wrong in the first place, even if it is intentional, and then they never finish the song. Instead they opted to go with repeating "Teardrop on your fire, I can feel it dripping" for five overly long minutes.
I agree, this sounds weird and has nothing to do with the original... THough the band has some talent, not for me though....
It would be a cover if they sang the correct lyrics... This is just a bad parody...
This song should never be covered. If you simply must cover it, this is an example of how not to do it. Just aweful.
This was a weak cover. I'm a fan of MA, CT, JB, MD, AS, BB, CC, and all the other artists. Still doesn't change the fact that this was a lazy sloppy cover that sounds like a middle school garage band.
This is horrible!!!!!
