      Ah, the version of which i just said "SO autotuned that is should get roasted for it. Horrible and lazy interpretation, "lets smooth over all the edges and make it beige"..". Not taking those back, if it is the same one we are talking about. That is the kind when you are making a product and eventually as you are polishing it, you take all the things away from it that makes the original great. The original has GREAT sense of parody and laughing at yourself, over the top stadium rock anthem with cheesy lyrics. Trying to make it "authentic and intimate"... It is kind of like people thing that "Every Breath You Take" is a love ballad, and then make a cover of it non-ironically. You did not get the song, you used the song, exploited it. Taking away all the edges it became nothing.
      And you obviously have the talent to do better.

    This is a very special song to me. It was playing on the radio as I was steaming down the road far too fast having been told my one day old son had been rushed into the SCBU. If you listen to the lyrics imagining new parents looking at - and unable to hold - their one day old child in an incubator hooked up to various medical monitors they take on a very different meaning: ‘I believe in a thing called love, just listen to the rhythm of my heart, there’s a chance we can make it now, we’ll be rocking’ til the sun goes down…’

    @pobsdad 11 месяцев назад +137

    It's great to see you being so generous. A lot of bands (I'm looking at you Eagles, in particular) would not only refuse to acknowledge these covers, but will actively strive to have them removed and blocked. I really don't see the sense in that. It's not like we are going to buy their version of the song instead of your's, and it keeps your version in people's minds. The Darkness are still current because we haven't forgotten you, and these covers are part of that.

    The New Orleans styled version is the correct choice.
    Nice Habs sweater. The “see you on the ice” could’ve worked here also.

    My fav is n2 as well PostModern...etc... It's a brilliant whole different interpretation of the song, just love it. But I wonder... not in a " technical" way but emocionally... Justin... with the Panic at...cover, listening to the crowd going THAT crazy about a cover of YOUR song... How does it feels?? The influence, the impact you had and have on such a big amount of people... You ( all the guys in the band) must be so proud ,I think... Is it moving for you? It would be great to know how you feel about that. Love The Darkness ... every minute,every hour, every day 😂. Congrats for your whole career and for what is yet to come. Tons of love from Madrid❤.

    Post Modern Jukebox, monsieur habitant. Their interpretation makes the song seem to belong to that era. Adorable! The joy you bring! Speaking of Darkness covers, there’s another, acapella, of just verse and chorus of Nobody Can See Me Cry by Alexandria Boddie that soars way above the clouds too!

    Wow! So many interesting interpretations.
    Confession: I became aware of The Darkness because I was asked to come up with an acoustic version forba wedding. In learning the song I became a fan.
    I vote for the New Orleans version but all were pretty remarkable.
    Cheers!

    Yes, PMJ's version is my favorite cover.
    Yes they changed it around and made it their own, but they did it in a way that seems they have a genuine love of the song, and "honor it"... while demonstrating their own amazing artistry.

    @youreadyfreddie 11 месяцев назад +8

    Yeah. It's Post Modern Jukebox for me. Clear winner. I absolutely love it. Definitely the most creative interpretation, although mad props to the guy playing all four in the attic, wearing his wife's clothes while day drinking. Also very cool and fitting that Panic! at the Disco did it. Clearly some mad love and respect there. And the "octave-higher" girl: Wow! The vocal control at the top of her range! She had some real fun with it.
    Et, Les Habitants!

    Justin, I am so happy I found out one of the musicians I loved so so much as a teen has a YT channel and I get to see him and share his thoughts. Back then, I wanted nothing more than to know what those celeb guys were like, and now you are making my dream come true. The music of The Darkness made me really mad at myself for not being able to sing (as well as you do) but yeah, it's a hardware problem, can't do anything. Anyway, much love and I am so happy that in a world of arrogant people full of themselves, you seem way different and genuine.

    Man I love this channel. Didn't know how to take you at first, but once I knew you sang and played that wicked axe as well as you are the singer of "a thing called love" I'm in 100% aa well as I immediately subbed! I mean how could one not be a total fan? Love how you are phenomenally awesome yet you don't take yourself so seriously and I could sit and chat to a guy like you for hours. I love how royally English you are too man. The absolute best music always comes from across the pond. Always without a doubt! It must be so gloomy there that you Brit's just have nothing bloody better to do than crank out hit after bloody hit. So remember to stay great and Pip pip Cheerio, carry on my mate.

    My first dance song at my wedding was I Believe In a Thing Called Love - Delta Goodrem blended with darkness version.
    It worked really well as it sounds like a nice slow song to get everyone up and then once they're on their feet it blended into the classic rock version we know and love and everyone had no choice but to stay up and keep dancing haha!
