Love it. And on the subject of covers. Trevor Something is the master at putting his spin on classic tunes with Lovesong and Wicked Game coming immediately to mind.
Uuuweee, what a classic interpretetion!. Even if you don't know the track you start to mumble the verse, A reall y cool spring(summer?) throwback. That smile @ the begining the track says it all :-)
Awesome cover. Definitely not a competition in trying to be better. It's paying tribute. Taking something you love and putting your own personal spin on it. Nothing wrong with it at all. Outstanding cover. One of the best I've heard in awhile. Trevor Something has a bunch of incredible covers
JB. You’re the best synthwave RUclips creator I know. It’s not a fair fight anymore. I turned a much younger guy onto your channel. You’d thought I helped him uncover one of the facts of life. Guy went and got a notebook and started writing songs down. It’s not often to introduce a true synthy, but it was pure magic watching that kid’s reaction. Wouldn’t give it up for the world.
Beautiful cover!! Very well done!! I agree that cover songs are more or less the artists interpretation. I think I actually like this about the same as the original. Thanks for sharing!! Much ❤ JB!!
There’s a simple reason I listen to JB. Synthwave is best enjoyed driving. This is a fact like breathing. He’s the only channel I know that does it. Is this the best kept secret? Because I played this music for a younger kid and he acted like I helped him discover the secret of life.
I loved the Miley Cyrus cover of Joelene, even though Dolly did the original. So I can partially see where you're coming from. I had a remix of [Jeff Wayne's musical] War of the Worlds, and some of them last 10 minutes from a song lasting 3 or 4 mins, but still having the main "bones" of the original.
I appreciate the thoughts on remakes being a false competition. I do love a great remake (and this certainly is a great one) but I know I involuntarily pit them against their originals every time. I'm not necessarily trying to determine which is better but I'm trying to figure out if I enjoy the new version as much. I've searched high and low for a cover of Everybody Wants to Rule the World and haven't found one that I enjoy as much as the original, though there are plenty that are great in their own right. I both love competition and hate it equally as much. I hate the idea that something has to be deemed superior, but then also competition often pushes things to excel to a point they would not have.
I'm not sure I've heard the original. Maybe it was popular in the US. The start of this version is something else. The problem for me as a collector is that i can't buy this in flac or wav add this to the previous recent releases being the same situation.
I prefer the interpretation of a cover... it's not karaoke. My favorite covers are ones that are vastly different than the original. Like Naked Eyes "Always something there to remind me." For a long time I didn't even know it was an early 60s cover, and it's very different than the orginal..
Your sentiments at the end of the video were much needed! Well said
Thanks and thanks for watching the end!
Nostalgia kicks in hard!!!
FOR REALS
POV : It's a summer night riding with the windows down and good music playing.
Whoa. Nostalgia overload!! This touches my heart.
The motion epic & the midnight are my favorite synthwave bands.good background melody. Wish had a big guitar solo
Классная группа поет отличную, старенькую песню 👍

I didn't think it was possible to make this song any better, I love this version.😊 ❤
Goosebumps Jonathan! ❤❤❤
Super muza. Dziękuję. Pozdrawiam Cię.
Love it. And on the subject of covers. Trevor Something is the master at putting his spin on classic tunes with Lovesong and Wicked Game coming immediately to mind.
Excellent cover, this is one of my favourite song, and this cover is really excellent!
again, my no 1 go to channel for good music recommendation
appreciate you doug
Good point about people saying something is better. I think they cover the song because they love it and are not trying to destroy it.
Отличный кавер. Спасибо Джонатан за хорошую музыку.
You’re welcome, thanks for watching!
WOW!!! Yes i agree on you about there own version of the song!
Uuuweee, what a classic interpretetion!. Even if you don't know the track you start to mumble the verse, A reall y cool spring(summer?) throwback. That smile @ the begining the track says it all :-)
Soo therapeutic
Great song , for traveling to the beach👍
such a smooth song, the chord progression is perfection. great cover. 👍
The visuals remind me of the vibe you get from a great ending to a awesome 80's film.
I agreee!!!!!☝🏾
Woop woop.... 🎉

Wow 👍 this new version is very interesting 😉😎
Thanks for giving it a listen 💯
This is the sort of song, and style and tone, that COULD be done in Eurovision
The sunset at 4:00 was a good touch LOL
🙏🏾
This version is amazing.
Thanks for reacting to the song, Jonathan! The Motion Epic never misses.
Can't wait until you react to 'Jealous Guy' and 'Take Me On Tonight'
❤❤
❤ thank u for great track bro
Sick song ✌️🎶🇱🇹

Thank you so much for sharing the channel! I appreciate it! And thank you for the kind words!
Very well done
I'm having a medical problem this week with hearing properly, LOL, so this was very uplifiting, thank you.
Beautiful cover!! Very well done!! I agree that cover songs are more or less the artists interpretation. I think I actually like this about the same as the original. Thanks for sharing!! Much ❤ JB!!
wicked
Wow! 💫✨
Edit: Agree on your point. Similar to the magic of Jazz. There is no cover in Jazz. It's all interpretation and a dialogue between artists
Nice

Great commentary! Somehow I feel like this is more nostalgic than the original. :D
Thanks for checking it out@
How did you not fully hop in on the chorus?! Another awesome choice! Next time let loose
🙂
Well said about covers, this version is equally cool, the original one is definitely more annoyingly catchy though! Haha
I would've felt more like exercising in Phys Ed class, if they played this LOL, mind you they DID have Fly Too High by Janis Ian...
I love this, always forever, whether fair, or stormy never... LOL - my own lame attempt at "singing" the songs praises
Great cover. The original version is good too.
💯
Nice Cover, not that burner as Ordinary World but i like it 🙂
Thanks for giving it a shot
Salve cara 😎

I see
I dont agree.. this is WAY better than the original.
I prefer the interpretation of a cover... it's not karaoke. My favorite covers are ones that are vastly different than the original. Like Naked Eyes "Always something there to remind me." For a long time I didn't even know it was an early 60s cover, and it's very different than the orginal..
I'll have to check that one out!
Старая вещь супер!!!
Woop woop.... 🎉
