I have listened to hundreds of covers of this song, but IMO, this one is BY FAR the best. Vocals is absolute next level. Such absolute brilliance. Wow.
@@herbertvonzinderneuf8547 in fact that i never heard anybody talkin about the band itself aside her voice of singing it seems too totally underrate the band as collective.
This is the first song I played in my first car. I used to drive on highways listening to this song. so i have a very emotional connection with this song. didn't know the song name until now. like this comment when you see it so it will remind me to come here and listen to it again and enjoy my memories.
When I clicked on this I thought it would be another so-so cover of this song like all the other ones. Little did I know I was clicking on one of the best things I've ever heard.
Picker alert - The David Gilmore guitars, including the Black Strat used on classics like Dark Side of the Moon, is going up for auction at Christies in NYC. Also Strat 0001. IF you happen to be this good and making millions of pounds!
I remember when Chris Isaak first released "Wicked Game", how I was nailed to the floor by the haunting sound that made me immediately think of the late Roy Orbison. This performance is powerful as the vocal richness and perfectly accompanied guitar had me floating and should make Chris' smile as well.
This was Amazing. Singing transported. Guitar-guy's pick skills and style smooth as butter. And my man handling the black&whites.. Velvet told him he had a soft touch. Very. Very Nice.
Baelor Chris Isaak and about a milion other performers and bands did it as well. HIM's version is pretty famous one. You should check it out, it definitely IS a cover.
IKR? When she started singing I jumped in my seat! I usually focus in on the guitar (being a half-assed, talentless hack with the six strings) but not this time because this young lady can SANG!
This is godlike. Everything on this one is just perfect. I love how sensitive the guitar guy plays it. And then perfect piano, perfect voice. Absolutely incredible performance!
If you want godlike then this isn’t even close. Listen to Diana Ankudinova (15 years old) singing Wicked Game ruclips.net/video/7jv-DQnf2UY/видео.html and then for the deepest female voice that you will ever hear in your life ruclips.net/video/-KgD666fRtY/видео.html and finally to blow your mind ruclips.net/video/-KgD666fRtY/видео.html
When I first heard you sing "Wasting my young years"; I was driving and had to pull off the road. My eyes exploded with tears. Your voice reaches down to the depths of the heart and soul. I sobbed and howled. That was a masterpiece and hit home to 20+ years of frozen tears just waiting to come out.
It doesn’t matter how long I know London Grammar how often I listened to it… Her voice is that of an angel. It just stops me in my tracks, makes my head empty and my eyes tear up and for the duration of the song there is beauty, calm and peace… gorgeous!
@eddie90 it wasn't a comment about the placement being wrong but The Sun, as a newspaper being wrong; what with it being a vile pack of lies. Hope that explains what I hadn't realised was such a complex statement when I made it. :)
Its when she goes up an octave that makes my hair stand on end .. What a wicked way to sing reaches me deep within What a cover of that song I cant help but sing along
@@kulio1214 Lol that's just rude... Let the man rhyme, Jim! Dude, seriously, dude... Try and make your own hymn It ain't simple But y'all gotta try Better make your first rhyme Before your first wrinkle
Paul Bosse right!! I don't know about you, but I didn't think that the Sun's general demographic would be into this... I mean for starters, she's not wearing pink, topless, or in the kitchen. Oooooohhhhhhhhh 🔥🔥🔥
William Krupar I sympathize, I too possess a loathsome list of heartfelt songs that leave me both regretfully and aptly reminded of loves keen sting. Loathsome, yet maddeningly appropriate for the circumstances. Such is the power of music, more adept at describing life than mere words alone. Take care of your heart, to some hurting another’s is but an acceptable casualty.
I remember seeing them on the last day of some festival, everyone was all shuffling about, semi damp, moderately hungover and stinky, she was there raised above the crowd on stage, rays of sunlight parting, angelic tones belting out over us like some ridiculous goddess.
What a magical voice she as Hanna Reid has, one of my favourite singers out there to this day , there isn’t many singing vocals can match her vocals for me ❤
Back in 2014 I worked at the Sochi Olympics. On the road from the coastal venues to the mountain resort (and back) I always used to listen to LG. Always a pleasure late at night
She sings as if she's swimming in the music and the melody. I don't know why but the world "elegance" popped in my mind the first time I heard her sing. I also love how subtle and subdued the guitar and keyboard are, as if to make her voice resonate even more. Fantastic cover from London Grammar!
*nico3641* Lol Such a cute comment... It is an awesome cover, though! However, Chris Isaak wrote the song in 1988 and it was released in 1989 (the year that I interviewed him for his album *Heart Shaped World* ) Smiles from Melody Fox (aka the Princess of Rock) LPeaceM 💟☮️🎵
Thanks for sharing this performance. Hannah has a beautiful and powerful singing voice with a lot of dynamic range. It's a real pleasure to here them perform together.
One of those golden songs that indefiably make you stop whatever you're doing... and this one proceeds to send you to that one place deep within your soul, where loss and sadness mix with a quiet blessing of thankfulness, thankfulness that whatever it was that made you feel this way, happened at all.
In 2024 I'm still returning to listen to this. It's haunting isn't it.
Just came here after listening to Chris Issac version. Both brilliant.
Check out HIM and Tenacious D too 😊🙏🏼
Me too !
its literally the worst caver

Seriously? That's a super gay song.
My god that voice. I literally went cold and my arms and legs got goose pimples. Awesome version. Fantastic.
I have listened to hundreds of covers of this song, but IMO, this one is BY FAR the best. Vocals is absolute next level. Such absolute brilliance. Wow.
Oh yes London Grammar … really underrated
The Ursine Vulpine cover of this is also amazing. Different, but still spine-tingling
Its a beautiful version
It's brilliant and emotional and almost perfect. The only negative thing is having "The Sun" logo in the top right!
Her voice is like diving into a cool, crystal clear lake on a hot sunny day. Beautiful X
So is her face
Best исполнение!

One of the best female voices, I' ve ever heard. Absolutly great!
More to do with the song than her voice
@@terrytownsend5583 have you heard their other songs though? Her voice is absolutely amazing.
also one of the best songs of all time.. what a combo!
probably just cus its masculine bro
She sounds a little bit like Nico on Velvet Underground. I agree, she's captivating.
I keep coming back to this version for years and years. Its perfection to express exactly how i felt at a certain point. Pure art.
ACCIDENTALLY JUST FOUND IT IN MY "MIX"
2:20 just magic...
What takes you to that point , what is that point , what a wicked thing to do .

she's amazing!
Good call! I second that!

+A girl is no one - Bruce Springsteen's song I'm on fire is sooo simple but beautiful - one of my favs
A girl is no one check out the staves they do an I'm on fire cover and it's great
She’s perfect in low and high notes. She’s one of the greatest singer nowadays
Bright future ahead of her for sure, that woman can sing 👌
@@gowlaz by "bright future",you mean ruined by the producers with autotune and forced sexappeal?I wish no bright future for her.
This!!!! She’s the best.

London Grammar really have their own sound. Her voice is hauntingly beautiful. Such a fantastic band.
Parts of them are Jewish.

Utterly brilliant and proper band. Hannah’s vocal range defies gravity. Beautiful. Thank you London Grammar
i love hearing females with deep voices
She has amazing range as well, can also hit the highest of highs!
I actually wish that she wouldn't sing in her lower range so often, she sings highs so beautifully.
Cláudia Assunção Bernardo Cossa So you like men?

Her voice is like discovering a crystal clear lake in the middle of a forest, lit up by the moon and stars and you gently step into it.
hahaha fucken settle down mate lol!!!!!
Kinda sounds like she's trying to sound like a man. As though she was mocking some guy by repeating what he said in that voice. Lol
And I would give my kingdom to witness this discovery and loudly fart for a continuous 32 seconds while I pass you by
Dirk Meilink Hahahaha
And you discover a new fish, with sharp teeth... going after your nuts😬
Gets you in the feels everytime. Hannah's voice is hands down THE best. Goosebumps

That guitar sound kills me.

Think hes using a pedal between heavy reverb and fret muting. Not sure tho
@@alteredbeast7145 think so too, It's a nice sound though!

Her voice is stunning and perfect for this song.
No jumping around, no histrionics…….just superb musicianship coupled with a sublime voice. Beautiful.

Chris Isaak has recorded Roy Orbison songs as he is a fan of the great man, and his voice is very close to the magic that Orbison achieved.

Not only the most intoxicating voice, she is stunningly beautiful.
The plate reverb is amazing, her voice is sobering.
Amazing
She has one of the most beautiful voices you can hear these days.
Any days
her voice touched my soul
She has such a simple, yet simultaneously strong and serene voice. I can only imagine this is the very voice God gifts his angels.
This is, quite simply put, the best cover....EVER..of this song
This needs released on Spotify.
So many people attempt to cover this song and don’t even come close to the original, it just goes to show you what a masterpiece the original is
Masked singer Belgium Chris isaak
I’m a 40 yr old man that some would say is hardened by the world and this makes me tear up.

Effortless jump of an octave, and really clean falsetto to go even higher - so impressive
I always wondered if the xx would do a cover of this song ...but this is way better. Her voice is so beautiful
Marie France No actually Xx would kill this song more brilliantly also will Arctic Monkeys😍
Yes! The xx would be amazing singing this!
They are similar genre
I adore how they make their guitars weep, so deep.
Nobody, loves no one.

Only thing wrong with this is The Sun logo in the top right corner.
