@@skythunder4413 huh? they are not even close to known for this cover, it only has 1.9mil views and isnt even on spotify, these guys are one of the biggest uk bands and indie rock bands around lol, this is never even cracking their top 40 most popular tracks, even one of them alone has 130m streams
This band deserves to be fill all the biggest arenas in the world man. They are a typical example how hard it is to be recoqnized for the big masses. I showed theme for a lot of people and they all says the same.
This song used to be my jam, from the shrek soundtrack. BUT NOW ITS MY ABSOLUTE SICK JAM. brilliant version from a brilliant band. My love for you guys just grows day by day. Can't wait for the new stuff!
This song is truly great and sounds dark unlike the original, but I still cant believe its a guy singing it. I have watched vids of him in the studio and it assures me its him singing!
+Darren Cozens I also really love it when artists leave the lyrics alone. Kings of Leon did a cover of Robyn's Dancing on my own. They didn't mess with the lyrics to make them fit with a man singing it and yet they completely made it their own. Their version is really melancholic and to me it sounds like that's the way it should have been sung originally.
Where have all the good men gone And where are all the gods? Where's the streetwise Hercules To fight the rising odds? Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed? Late at night I toss and I turn And I dream of what I need I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast And he's gotta be fresh from the fight I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light He's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon And he's gotta be larger than life -Larger than life- Somewhere after midnight In my wildest fantasy Somewhere just beyond my reach There's someone reaching back for me Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat It's gonna take a Superman To sweep me off my feet I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast And he's gotta be fresh from the fight. I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light. He's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon And he's gotta be larger than life I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night Up where the mountains meet the heavens above Out where the lightning splits the sea I could swear there is someone somewhere watching me Through the wind and the chill and the rain And the storm and the flood I can feel his approach like a fire in my blood I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast And he's gotta be fresh from the fight I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light He's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon And he's gotta be larger than life I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
Why nobody is talking about this song being used for a "Vikings" trailer? "Vikings", one of the best series plus this amazing cover is something I can't take... it's too good, it's delightful, it's orgasmic, I'm dying in a good way.
The meaning of the lyric is coming out really from this version...Best version ever.Everyone needs a hero, but we can become our own heros if we transform ourselves by our fiery serpent...This is the greatest gift Gods gave to us.
I remember the original and this just takes it to a different place. Amazing band and the bass is fantastic. Oh and the lead singer Conor has an amazing voice
It sounds like "Heavy in my arms" by Lord-knows-what-is-her-name-and-her-band, but she is Bristish or Welsh, I guess; the song even has similar lyrics. In a way, I mean.
As a several-decades-long fan of Jim Steinman, I'm thrilled by this cover version of "Holding Out for a Hero" -- You both captured the magic of the original *and* did something fresh and original with it. It's true to the source AND transformative. Well done. Seriously. I've listened to this version so many times over the past two years!
Sorry, no Bond guys. James Bond is the Alpha male. For better or for worse. Otherwise he wouldn't be James Bond. How many SJW will me around in the case of war? None. Zero. They'll all be running to their safe spaces.
@@NisseOhlsen lmaooo you say a lot about masculinity and others being fragile when you're losing it over the idea of there being a male love interest in a fiction movie. bond doesnt exist, get over yourself. as if you're out on the front lines. haven't even got a damn profile picture
Magnificent... OCD overload on the bass & drum work... my lift me up song go to... being my own hero, but a stronger may join the adventure... Well done boys ... as always... ❤
Is it just me or does this kinda fit 2020 in its entirety so far? Like I heard this song and thought, this is almost a perfect dystopian pandemic sounding song.
Good men need to know that they are not alone..and that they are strong... It might be a dying breed but there will always be good men ready to fight, for love. Love is always worth a life.
My opinions on the original and this cover: The original: seemed like it was a young girl wainting a hero to save her from dull and eventless life. The cover: is to me a guy, who realized he's done for, and requesting aid. From friends who'll never show themselves. Which I find sad and beautiful. Because you just know that they are trying to move mountains to get to their dying comrade.
I just think of a lone marine from Halo:Reach remaining behind as his team evacuates to safety, he does hold the line by himself for a long time but he is getting tired...so tired...and is running out of ammo, then finally seeing the pelican that came to get his men out, before all of a sudden- *BOOM* Fuel Rod takes out the Pelican's engine as it flies around trying to land safely before divebombing somewhere far with a explosion...no hope of anyone surving and so, the marine's light is snuffed out along with it.
Excellent version! Everything that I've heard from these guys so far, is pretty epic. - Also, try listening to it again, with the speed on x1.25 or 1.50 (click the gear to change speed). It sounds good on both of those, too!
Absolutely insane cover, completely changes the entire feel of the song it's as if they wrote it themselves
SamOsee you are awesome
This is the best thing XD
That’s what is so great about covers! Songs that I really like I usually have several covers of.
Isn't ironic, this band that has many originals is know for this badass cover

This band should be more known. They are really incredible
This band deserves to be fill all the biggest arenas in the world man. They are a typical example how hard it is to be recoqnized for the big masses. I showed theme for a lot of people and they all says the same.
If you dont do hip hop or rap its complicated today to get more recognition.
the cover we never knew we needed
Yesh 😂
Out of a scale. Really?
i love the apocalyptic mood in this version, gives me chills
holy shit, conor, HOLY SHIT
This song used to be my jam, from the shrek soundtrack. BUT NOW ITS MY ABSOLUTE SICK JAM. brilliant version from a brilliant band. My love for you guys just grows day by day. Can't wait for the new stuff!
Literally me
Nizza Nils relatable
The way he sang...."rising with the "heat"..omggg i think i ovulated
😂😂😂
This song is truly great and sounds dark unlike the original, but I still cant believe its a guy singing it. I have watched vids of him in the studio and it assures me its him singing!
Plixel did actually think, it was a girl singing xD
Storm force I did think it was a woman. lol
But I don't care this song is amazing!
I know this comment is a year old, but I been looking for a video where they play this song with no luck. Where did you find it?
yeah I can't seem to find it either :/
@@evem6207 it's a guy, his name is conor mason
that was kind of epic not even going to beat around the bush. really like that these guys didn't tweak the lyrics either

+Maialeen I feel the same with Muse's Feeling Good
If you like this cover you should listen to their cover of 'Crazy'
Yeah, it's awesome
one of my new favorite 👍
will check that one out, thx
YESYESYES IT'S AMAZING I THOUGHT THEY HAD MADE THE SONG FOR SO LONG UNTIL I PLAYED IT FOR MY FRIEND AND THEY SAID IT WAS A COVER AAaaA
Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where's the streetwise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and I turn
And I dream of what I need
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light
He's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
-Larger than life-
Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It's gonna take a Superman
To sweep me off my feet
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight.
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light.
He's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I could swear there is someone somewhere watching me
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach like a fire in my blood
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light
He's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
Cris CL thank you SOO much for this
thnx👆💕
В очко иди да, я еще верну себе Рим
This turns a happy song into something completely badass
That bass line IS EVERYTHING!! Love this
one of the sexiest versions of this song, love it! These guys cant do anything wrong.
Listen to this song with headphones, it's crazy!
In love with this band rn
Me too 😍😍😍
me2
Nothing But Thieves can make me love any song, it's confirmed by this cover
Fairy Godmother is shook
Goose bumps, that's all that needs to be said, perfection 👌👌👍👍
I want to undress for this.
come round
same feeling we share
For who? Ragnar, Conor Mason or for yourself?
❤
Why nobody is talking about this song being used for a "Vikings" trailer? "Vikings", one of the best series plus this amazing cover is something I can't take... it's too good, it's delightful, it's orgasmic, I'm dying in a good way.
Which trailer exactly? I cant find it
That bassline absolutely MAKES this cover god damn
brilliant singer...brilliant cover
i could marry the bass
I'm seriously in love with them, they're my fav band omg
The meaning of the lyric is coming out really from this version...Best version ever.Everyone needs a hero, but we can become our own heros if we transform ourselves by our fiery serpent...This is the greatest gift Gods gave to us.
Still here. Still loving this cover ❤
I remember the original and this just takes it to a different place. Amazing band and the bass is fantastic. Oh and the lead singer Conor has an amazing voice
These guys just go from strength to strength. superb stuff
Eargasm ❤️👌
i love nbt and this is amazing and everything but i just want you all to know that ive seen shrek 2 exactly twenty-seven times
i love you
Hammy Hamilton
My best friend watches shrek, I kid you not, at least once a day XD
FroggieFairy This is incredible.
I've seen it more.....I grew up without cable and a VHS copy of Shrek two.....and I still occasionally watch it again once to 4x a year
hauntingly brilliant
It sounds like "Heavy in my arms" by Lord-knows-what-is-her-name-and-her-band, but she is Bristish or Welsh, I guess; the song even has similar lyrics. In a way, I mean.
Florence and the Machine. The lead singer is Florence Welch.
The only way this song could ever have been covered and still do Bonnie justice.
This band just never fails to amaze me, awesome stuff 👍
💕😄
Who would have thought that NBT plus a Bonnie Tyler song would equal ultimate Jeff Buckley vibes? My heart is very happy right now.
Oh it's dark,I got butterflies,got me excited 😏 💜 can't believe I only now across this !
this is so hot
Nikki B Yes... 😍
Oh that base!!sweet as!!
Grant Madden Bass
Benjamin Norman Realised that just after I clicked it.lol

Well done. Seriously. I've listened to this version so many times over the past two years!
nbt owning the song in their cover is the best thing
Replace the version from Shrek 2 with this... we'd have a whole different movie.
OMG. I read that in class and started laughing and now the teacher is kicking me out
+delaney peterson I'm glad I could contribute to your education 😂
Thank you for your contribution
@Tom Bowman I am Johny Five. I am alive. You spare the human, but destroy the machine? Let me show you some r e a l input.
Agree
Love Vikings. Love this band. It's so insane (in the good way) and beautiful this cover
This is the perfect James Bond song. If they ever made a movie where there's a Bond guy instead of a Bond girl...
Lisa Wang omg yes please ❤️
And sung by Tina Turner ;P I'm just saying, that'd be pretty epic.
But I love your idea!
Sorry, no Bond guys. James Bond is the Alpha male. For better or for worse. Otherwise he wouldn't be James Bond. How many SJW will me around in the case of war? None. Zero. They'll all be running to their safe spaces.

I swear these guys could cover absolutely any song and claim it.... 🤩🤩
I used to hate this song. Now I totally dig it. This is what I call a brilliant job.
heard this about a week ago on TV, absolutely adore it! Conor's vocals are on point as usual!
Awesome version! A kind of creepy but great...
Anyone else besides me wanna marry Conor Mason's voice?
Angel Valentin he has Amazing voice!!! 😍 ❤❤❤❤
i wanna be ripped apart by his voice bye
He can rip me apart without the voice ♥️
Wanna marry him!
@@vvms22 Me too. Would you mind taking turns? XD XD XD
best cover of this song=! 💕💓
Love that bass!
Adore. This is seriously on replay all day! x
I always say the original is better, in books or in music, but this is definitely better
Tis cover is so perfect ! what a masterpiece .
amazing version for an incredible series!!!
Haunting. Literally was the soundtrack of a dream after the first time I heard this
i discover this band 3 days ago and now i cant get it out of my mind 😍😍, i love this band❤❤👌👌 (sorry for my bad english😞 , im learning it)
holy shit i'm in love with this cover!! :o see you soon in Poland!!
Magnificent... OCD overload on the bass & drum work... my lift me up song go to... being my own hero, but a stronger may join the adventure... Well done boys
... as always... ❤
It's enchanting... I feel sucked in.
Love it! Heard it while I was watching Shades of blue!
I had to hear it again!
Is it just me or does this kinda fit 2020 in its entirety so far? Like I heard this song and thought, this is almost a perfect dystopian pandemic sounding song.
I HIGHLY AGREE
Love this version of “Holding Out for a Hero” (also listened to it in my teenage-years when Bonnie Tyler first time performed it in 1984)! :-)
My totally favourite cover of this song! So much better than original(sorry Bonnie) I love your lovely and engaging voice...Good job NBT!
I love this version. 🍷🖤⚘
Almost all the way through the song it occurred to me that it's a cover. I love it!
Most incredible thing I've heard since I heard Scott Weiland sing "Plush" for the first time!!! Instant fan of NBT!!!!
This is one of the best covers I’ve ever listened too
I discovered the Vikings series because of this song, the show is one of the best shows I've ever watched!
This is so so beautiful
I never liked the original or any covers. Then Bam Nothing But Thieves do it and I am completely in love with this version.
Please I need more songs like this one this is just perfect 😭😭😭
Good men need to know that they are not alone..and that they are strong... It might be a dying breed but there will always be good men ready to fight, for love. Love is always worth a life.
This beat is giving me all the vibes 🔥😍
YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME EVERY SONG I GET INTO THERES A NBT COVER I LOVE THIS
This doesn't just deserve a like button. Damn, where's the love button? This Is absolutely amazing!
So much better than the original
John Smith Blasphemy :) Not fair to compare 30 year old song with this and I love this version
Michal Motyčka why not?
Waaay better than the original.
ORIGINAL >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
That's like comparing Manson Sweet dreams to the original they have completely different moods and tones
This is incredible!!!! I totally adore this song!!
Love this band some much

@@themechanicalvee5244 it kinda reminds me of the Believe ad
the entire gay community: 👁👄👁
I mean, it's not as good as Fairy Godmother's cover, but it's pretty great.
Isaac Kresta 😂😂

I am shooketh.
OH BRILLIANT
Brilliant... I agree with Nizza Nirvana. Better everyday. These guys are way ahead of the curve.
My hero. 💕
Iam now more in love with this band. I can`t believe that they transform that song nto this version. I love them bot btw
anyone got a guitar or bass tab for this particular version? sounds super cool
Hi, have you found it? I keep looking for a bass tab but I can't find it ANYWHERE 🥲
We saw you in Portland Oregon last year and knew how wonderful you guys are ❤️🌈🙏🏽🌏🍀
Excellent version! Everything that I've heard from these guys so far, is pretty epic. - Also, try listening to it again, with the speed on x1.25 or 1.50 (click the gear to change speed). It sounds good on both of those, too!
one of my favourite songs!!
This makes me feel like an antihero
Amazing cover!! So excited for Vikings now!!
