When the cover of a song you don’t know is so good you have to listen to the original. NBT really made this song theirs. It’s got that build I love them for.
Yay! The video is back up. The audio alone is great but the video just brings it up to the next level. This is hands down one of the greatest performances online
Last Saturday was my wedding, this was our first dance, we practiced a dance to it for months with an instructor, it was perfect, made more perfect by my best mate showing a video during his speech to us of Conor giving a shout out to my bride and I after bumping into him at a pub in London. I live in South Africa btw. This band and this song is just absolute perfection
My god this is good. So much emotion in his voice and his moves. These guys are something special. I'm late to their music but am making up lost time and it's been thee best time!
I think gang of youths probably put a stop to high quality covers being put out so people would listen to the original. It's such a shame tho bc this is one of the best like a versions in history.
I keep on coming back to this performance. It really touches my soul in a way I can’t explain. I hope one day this is available on a streaming platform or something because it’s just so so good. Sometimes a band sounds good only in studio, but I just saw them in Amsterdam and Connors voice was *incredible*. (But I already knew that from this video ❤)
Triple J - i need this like i need oxygen. 🔥🔥🔥 Always and permanently. Please find a way to keep it online, preferably with video. Voting for this in the LAV poll - nothing else comes close.
Original by Gang of Youths in brilliant. This cover is outstanding by Nothing But Thieves. Got to be one of the best bands in the UK right now. Love em 🙌
I’ve never felt so much for a band, not until Nothing But Thieves. Feels like my heart’s breaking and soaring at the same time. God, I love them so much
Anytime I want to hear this song I have to bring up RUclips. Not sure why the label won’t allow the release of this version. It’s the best! This band makes it their own!
Not many front men in music these days without a G-tar in their mits. So when you see this kid let it out through the bridge... Best! Best thing! Beeeeest thing ever!!
I didn't know I'm able to fall in love with this band more, but here I am. This made me literally cry. You can feel in their performance that it's 100% them.
There's a difference between finding a song you love and falling in love with the song. the latter cannot be explained nor expressed into words, and that's exactly how I feel about this song.
This is the sound of a soul in tune To a savage desire for a soul made new It's a savage desire for a soul untamed A definitive cry in the present age Do I throw my clothes in the fire? Do I throw my hopes in the fire? Do those things grow in the fire Or burn just to keep me complying? Can you still show me the way? Can you still show me a light? 'Cause I was only a kid when I fell and you tossed me aside, hey What can I do if the fire goes out? 'Cause I don't know if I can live without I wanna taste and see if the Lord is good I wanna know if I'm heard and if I'm understood See the savage desire is some stupid thing Or if having desire is summoned deep within Do I throw my clothes in the fire? Do I throw my hopes in the fire? Do those things grow in the fire Or burn just to keep me alive? Can you still show me the way? Can you still show me a light? 'Cause I was only a kid when I fell and you tossed me aside, oh What can I do if the fire goes out? 'Cause I don't know if I can live without
OIk, been waiting to comment for some time. Fuk me if this isn't the best like version ever, to one of the best like a version ever bands. The emotion is what gets me with music, pure unadulterated emotion. The feeling pulled on this song is just unmistakable. Ps. I'm a massive Tool fan, bring me anything with pure guttural feeling and mojo and I'm in love!
jean morris in introduced this band to my mom when i found em and their both of our favorite bands, and my mom picked her god as Jeff Buckley and never thouggt anything could reach that level, until i showed her this band! Seen em once in concert in gonna see em again in a few weeks
Am 63, and saw them twice in about 7 months. I have to drive for 6 hours (one way) to do that, so that'll give an indication of how much I'm a fan. Love their beautiful noise so much that I even bought/downloaded their last album while travelling in China!
So so so stunning. The song sounds like something they would actually have on one of their albums. Looked up the original and it's great as well, though I really appreciate the way this version starts gently with the piano. Such a nice surprise, always glad to hear anything new from them!
Come back to this all too often! Is there anyone else caught in it's spell like me? Just thing this is the best like a version just cause of the gravity of that performance and perfect rendition of an already supernatural song.
If I was in that band I'd be constantly worried that my string strumming and drum bashing was good enough to do justice to old mates vocals. Amazing vocal cords yo.
Have no words for this band. Have no words for this voice. Have no words for this song. Just WOW! *Saw them live twice. They're beyond of this reality.
Good luck to the rest of the bands doing lav this year, you just won't beat that! I want to give a like for the performance and another for that musky mullet! Peace
Maddie Rossetto Years upon years of tireless practicing isn’t natural - Saying someone is a natural born talent kinda undermines the ridiculous amount of time and effort spent jamming, practicing techniques, learning the technical aspects and gigging. ***I dont mean this in an angry or “hey screw you” kinda way, just more like “god I hate when people say this”***
Stunningly beautiful. Conor captues emotion in every song he sings. The band is so tight. I love how the song builds. So much better than the original in my opinion. I could listen to his golden voice all day every day. In fact, i have had NBT on repeat for the past 2 months. Such feels
I’m always so jealous of people just discovering them, I wish I could do it all over again! Once you dive into their discography you will become obsessed 😁
@@4363laura I literally came back here to tell you I haven't stopped listening and I have been up and down their discography for the last couple weeks. I find myself coming back to this cover, though. Its haunting. Conor is incredible.
@@JoshCampbellGeekXLhe is isn’t he! It’s not even just his technical ability, there’s something about the way he puts everything into his performance, it’s so emotional. And the rest of the band are just so good too. They are completely addictive!
Amelia Jewell if you havnt, do yourself a favor and check out their music! They vary alot, from rock to ballads, Conor is very Jeff Buckley inspired in his vocals
Turned on the radio as I did the hour-long morning drive to my boring day job and instantly heard my favourite band. Thanks for making my crappy day a little bit better today :)
conor is one of the best rock vocalists of his age, absolutely stunning
When the cover of a song you don’t know is so good you have to listen to the original. NBT really made this song theirs. It’s got that build I love them for.
I knew the original before this came out and I love it but when this came out I was shook both are amazing imo
I did in fact go to the original and have enjoyed gang of youths music but do prefer this version - gentle then powerful
This video proves that Conor Mason not only has the best voice in rock music, he's got the best stage moves.
He really loses himself in the moment here. Love it.❤
this is my favorite video on the internet.
Yay! The video is back up. The audio alone is great but the video just brings it up to the next level. This is hands down one of the greatest performances online
Love it that his hat says Brighter Days (atleast that’s what I see) and his shirt says DEAD. That’s the spirit.

❤🇿🇦🎧🎼
Amazing!!! How lovely of Conor and what a great best mate you have 🤯
2024- still gives me literal chills you guys!
My god this is good. So much emotion in his voice and his moves. These guys are something special. I'm late to their music but am making up lost time and it's been thee best time!
I'm sorry but how is this not on triple js spotify. Blows my mind.

Man... when you hear something you didnt know you really needed.
betruet exactly bra! ! !
Took the words right out of my mouth
Haha! Spot on mate!! :)
well said
bUT YOU do
How many times can I listen to this in a row before having to declare I have a serious addiction.
The passion that escapes from Connor and into those moves in the middle, is exactly what NBT does to me.
every song, every time.
Love to see my tax dollars went towards brining this legend back to the public
Triple J - i need this like i need oxygen. 🔥🔥🔥 Always and permanently. Please find a way to keep it online, preferably with video. Voting for this in the LAV poll - nothing else comes close.
I wish it was on Spotify
Yeah why did it disappear 😢
Bro idk if you've heard of "I Need Air" but it's another NBT song only on yt and your comment reminded me of it. Go check it out!
It's been a while since I heard I Need Air. Thanks for the reminder. Might give it a listen tonight @@mcbubbles6714
Original by Gang of Youths in brilliant. This cover is outstanding by Nothing But Thieves. Got to be one of the best bands in the UK right now. Love em 🙌
I’ve never felt so much for a band, not until Nothing But Thieves. Feels like my heart’s breaking and soaring at the same time. God, I love them so much

I love Conor's voice so much. So much emotion and never get tired of hearing it. We need more like this. So Raw! I feel like he sings to me!
I just can’t get over how good these guys are. Please save me.
Need this on Spotify plzzzzz
Omg ... after several years, still give me goosebumps
Geez. Just discovered this today. Insanely good. Wow.
You know it's gonna get good when Conor gets on his tiptoes to sing
I love that comment!
And i thought telepathy was a hoax
Not many front men in music these days without a G-tar in their mits. So when you see this kid let it out through the bridge... Best! Best thing! Beeeeest thing ever!!
@@24Gagey I prefer a keytar anytoot.
Oh my god.. His voice is insanely good.. Literally got goosebumps
With a mullet and talent like that what more could you want.
a bigger mullet
Justin McDermott you got me there.
I have not heard a more Australian comment. I'm in complete agreeance with you!
Yeah moi boi.
@@joostin123 😂
A year has passed and I’m still coming back to listen to this cover. Makes me feel a lot of emotions
this needs to be on spotify asap. they killed it
The passion and intensity the frontman goes through. This song just builds and climaxes perfectly
I didn't know I'm able to fall in love with this band more, but here I am. This made me literally cry. You can feel in their performance that it's 100% them.
Oh yes, I know that feeling!
My #1 vote for LAV 💯
Not even a question
🤘
Damn straight! ❤
yep same! people are sleeping on this cover
Same
every god damn time this masterpiece still gives me goosebumps
I wish this was on Spotify 😢
x2
X3
Missed watching this so much, glad to see it's back, wanted to see this played live at Grooving the Moo.😁
I am fckn glad this is back on RUclips
i love how Conor express his feeling while singing
Sweet lawd! That’s how you cover a song! Brilliant job
this band keeps topping themselves every single time how is it possible
i’m: thankful
There's a difference between finding a song you love and falling in love with the song. the latter cannot be explained nor expressed into words, and that's exactly how I feel about this song.
How a cover should be done. 👏🏼👏🏼 Another song on the shortlist for Hottest 100. Legends 🤙🏼
Gooodd I love it when Nothing But Thieves does the Nothing But Thieves thing, ya feel?
slumbers i do... i really do
O yep
This is the sound of a soul in tune
To a savage desire for a soul made new
It's a savage desire for a soul untamed
A definitive cry in the present age
Do I throw my clothes in the fire? Do I throw my hopes in the fire?
Do those things grow in the fire
Or burn just to keep me complying?
Can you still show me the way? Can you still show me a light?
'Cause I was only a kid when I fell and you tossed me aside, hey
What can I do if the fire goes out?
'Cause I don't know if I can live without
I wanna taste and see if the Lord is good
I wanna know if I'm heard and if I'm understood
See the savage desire is some stupid thing
Or if having desire is summoned deep within
Do I throw my clothes in the fire? Do I throw my hopes in the fire?
Do those things grow in the fire
Or burn just to keep me alive?
Can you still show me the way? Can you still show me a light?
'Cause I was only a kid when I fell and you tossed me aside, oh
What can I do if the fire goes out?
'Cause I don't know if I can live without
Lina thank you for commenting the entire lyrics you ducking simp

Greatest. Cover. Ever. Simple as that
Yep. Second best and very close to this is Kasey Chambers covering Eminem's Lose Yourself. If you haven't seen that one, check it out. Breath-taking
Holy shit! The energy in this performance is incredible. *Shivers down my spine*
Conor's voice is truly something else. Hard to express how talented he is, just jaw dropping.
Never heard of this band. Never heard of this song. But damn. Talk about talent. I'm amazed.
I can’t believe how amazing this is. They are so talented.
My favorite band playing my favorite song by my next favorite band...could this day get any better?
He sings to my soul!!
Straight to the Hottest 100 shortlist for this bad boy. So good!
This was made for Conor. Vary rare I have a band on repeat, and in particular this track.
Fantastic Cover. 👏👏👏👏
I keep coming back to this video...... absolutely amazing! Connor's voice is incredible!
Come back to this all too often! Is there anyone else caught in it's spell like me? Just thing this is the best like a version just cause of the gravity of that performance and perfect rendition of an already supernatural song.
Yep. I'm back once again- 2 weeks. Already heard this cover on Triple J this week. So thats at least one every week.
Damn I have just been listening to this on repeat since I discovered it yesterday.
Finally a like a version where everybodies comments are positive
steve york how couldn’t they be positive?
4.2k likes v 16 dislikes and #5 on trending. You can't get much better than that!
Have u not heard dmas cover Cher?
nothing but thieves, and English rocks tends to be of a high enough standard to impress the majority of listeners.
i am so so happy that this song back online!! this is the best version of this song ever!!!
Conor's dance moves are so great too i love these guys sm 😂❤️❤️
This is the cover I didn't know I needed.
Such incredible vocals over an already great song.
Conor your voice is haunting. Best like a version. Goose bumps
If I was in that band I'd be constantly worried that my string strumming and drum bashing was good enough to do justice to old mates vocals. Amazing vocal cords yo.
Have no words for this band. Have no words for this voice. Have no words for this song. Just WOW!
*Saw them live twice. They're beyond of this reality.
Quite simply the best cover of any track I've ever heard, ever..period!
This is out of this world
oh wow, this vocalist is a treasure
These guys never fail to amaze me. Can't wait for what the future holds for them.
5 years on and they're doing pretty good 🔥
Those vocals hit you like a ton of bricks honestly
damn this is incredible I can’t stop replaying. Love his voice
God damn I thought their original was brilliant but this took it to another level. Just wow
Good luck to the rest of the bands doing lav this year, you just won't beat that! I want to give a like for the performance and another for that musky mullet! Peace
update: he's cut it!
Love that musky mullet!!
Ohhh that voice!!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
ASAP rocky was a gem also
Gang of youths
I could listen to Connor sing allllll dayyyy ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I can’t stop playing this. I can’t wait to see them in September
Conor's voice is too much. In love💖💘💖💘💖💘💖💘💖
So many feelings I can't even sort them out. Killing me everyday these boys. You blow my mind Conor. Love isn't a strong enough word. More please.
Seeing this is back has made my day! I can't wait to see my sons reaction 😊
Always puts so much passion into their covers
I literally come back here like once every few months. Best LaV ever.
What an amazing natural born talent oh my Lordy

That escalated.
Holy shit the drummer killed that
Dudes voice is bloody epic. Chills. So good.
One of the best like a versions.
YASSSS!! ANOTHER GANG OF YOUTHS SONG THAT HAS BEEN COVERED AND ITS AMAZING!!!

Wow , literally goosebumps. Please put that on your set list for the tour
Fell in love with this cover all over again after watching the video. So much passion!
I'm back - watching this again. Just as good as the first time I watched/listened to it. I just love this!
I am absolutely thrilled that this video has been put back up! Buzzing!!!! Can’t wait to see yous in November guys!!!!! ❤
I mean I already love the original, but THIS - holy moly!! Chilllllzz...
That cover sounds like magic,the effort of the NBT guys is incredible,they always surprising 💖
I don’t say this lightly but Conor Mason is currently the best male singer in the world. I cannot find anyone that comes even close to him.
Matthew Bellamy from Muse comes close, but falls short. Conor is the best
I was about to say either Matt Bellamy of Muse or Brendon Urie (P!ATD) but another person's reply beat me to it. Haha!
Myles Kennedy is pretty amazing but yeah im conor all the way
Deaf Havana's James is something special
And the lead singer from highly suspect
Dang - the falsetto to heavy drop was excellent! Nice!
Speachless, love you guys, can't get enough of this performance
Conor wants to be my favorite vocalist so bad. I'm obsessed and I literally discovered them like yesterday it feels like. WOW. 🥰

I was confused too.....I had to read the comments....love the vocals though
