You know, the point of Postmodern Jukebox is to play new music in a way that you wouldn't expect it to work. And the funny thing about this song is that you could put this exact version into a movie set in the 50's and no one would be the wiser. The lyrics actually even fit something that would have been done in that era. Bravissima.
Von Smith is such a talented singer, living the whole story simultaneously while singing. He sings as a movie star. This man deserves a Hollywood musical. 💫🧿
My thoughts exactly! He is really acting the song as well. It’s funny, playful and very very impressive; what an incredible voice. He is in total control of his movements, expressions his voice all at the same time.
Back-vocal girls are so good, really. And that guy is also just excellent! This is the case when cover is 100% better than the original! And this one is my favorite of all PMJ!
honestly i like the pmj covers creep seven nation army and oops i did it again because Haley Reinhardt has a voice of 24 gold with diamonds on top you should hear them.🤩🤯✨
@@georgecaplin9075lol no offense taken i guess - sincerely, the girl on the left (robyn is a good friend who lets me sing with her from time to time!) 😂
+PostmodernJukebox This is my new way to find out about modern music songs I did not care for. lol I like how you guys change the songs, I have been doing that with just about anything that has the that 4 chords used in Heart and Soul. Its fun you can do a rock 'n roll song for just about anything pretty easily.
I feel the same about his rendition of Shake It Off...Better by far for me...I confess I hadn't heard Taylor's original before and so Von is my brains preference ❤❤❤
Great Remix! - Check this though - Frankie Mack & Aaron McGregor Crooner Remix | Ain't That A Kick In The Head, Volare, Mack The Knife - ruclips.net/video/gFqqElB1Mk8/видео.html
Every single one of them are wonderful. That guy on the piano is amazing. That piano is just an extension of his body. He is incredible. I’m a fan. --I’m a pianist. I don’t say this lightly. He is a Maestro.
I dunno what it is about Von's voice but its different somehow to most male vocalists that I've heard and I'm saying that in a good way. It works REALLY well with this style of music. Fantastic!
Dr Woo Yes, he is to be saluted for the way he has learnt to play the piano - out of sheer passion for the love of music. I have great respect for anyone who can play a musical instrument well
I think it's about time we pay some respect toward Scott Bradlee. Scotty, in every single song you play extremely well and you know the notes off by heart which is quite and achievement :D And I love the way you don't show off and take all the credit... you just sit and play, making everyone's day that tad better :D
Von smith is probably my new favorite singer when it comes to old styles of music. His voice seems almost unmatched by even today's pop artists. I know it sounds biased since i listen to mainly metal and hate pop music with a passion, but i could only imagine if smith did collabs with dion, roy orbison, or maybe even buddy holly if he was alive back then.
I'm absolutely in love with Robyns dress. The retro 50's soda fountain dress with that adorable waist belt is such a nice look especially with the bandana in her hair.
This was SO good. I don't recall Von but towards the middle onward his voice was like waves of melodic goodness. He really took to the song. Instant fave. Now that PMJB has at least 3 male singers...will be hearing a group tune a la "Burn"? Hmmmm?
That powerful climax hit my heart so hard and made me cry so hard My grandpa and I would listen to music together and this song reminds me so much of him because we danced to this for fun and he liked this sound so much... I miss you grandpa
I've had a long tiring day. I finished school late. I had to wait in a coffee shop for an hour and half for an obligatory extra session. An idea came to my mind to open RUclips and check out some songs. When I opened it, it had that screen of "what to watch" and I found this video as a recommended one. I didn't think twice and I opened it. I've been enjoying every second of it. Thank god I've subscribed for this channel because it appeared on what to watch. This song has made my day! Thank you for this amazing effort and keep it up!! ~one of your fans in EGYPT :)
The backup singers add so much - Von kills it, can’t imagine a better fit actually, but the arrangement/re-imagining is equally stellar. Love you guys.
I love how he always includes his own "jazz" take on the songs by changing the rhythm and adding scat! This is what converting modern music into jazz is supposed to be like! Very Nice!

I loved the reggae flavor of the Original but have a soft spot for oldies and I'm just loving this version!!! Now I will be hooked on vintage version covers of popular songs because it is wonderful. I love my oldies. :)
Isaiah Yoder It's a helpfull suggestion, the song is amazingly well played but the mastering/mixing could be better. But hey, not everything can be perfect. I was certainly not intending to be rude.
+Rhodesia Overeem Yep. That's pretty standard for PMJ - start with a decent song and make it AWESOME. Can't wait til they come to DC in October. My wife and I will be there!
Happened to see another Von cover, thought it was ok, but not the strongest thing. Then this came up...on my second time through, I was fighting tears. I never cry for songs. But my God, he is stunningly flawless throughout the whole thing. It's a level of beauty that is overwhelming.
He sung this in an old-fashioned Reggae style, which is exactly the style it should be sung in. Except there's no such style, which is what makes it amazing.
I had the pleasure to listen to this song live. Dude has like "OMG WTF JUST HAPPENED" voice. Seriously, you NEED to hear this live. If you think he's good in the video, you've heard nothing yet.

Von Smith! That was incredible. Your hands.
haha nice set of mitts Von. Puddles has some competition for the best mits on youtube.
Hey Mike nice to see you :)
What would happen if you and tambourine guy performed together? Would you cancel each other out?
Nice Props from Puddles. Now just watch out for your hands Von....I think puddles wants them for his collection
*Bites nails anxiously awaiting more from Puddles* :D
What happened to this fella? I ❤ him. His voice has made me smile during some dark times. He is truly a blessing.

Von is brilliant and the backup singers (and their synchronisation) is freaking immaculate. My favourite PMJ piece.....by far.
I've never heard the original so as far as I'm concerned this is exactly what this song is supposed to sound like. And it's perfection.
The original is like some weird fusion of reggae, pop and rock. It's NOWHERE near as good as this version.
Okay, got to hand it to this guy - he hits the notes as perfectly as my limited understanding of such things can tell. Respect.
That dude has some serious pipes. Love it!
+Mark Simmerman Thank you! Von Smith truly is talented!

Mark Simmerman u should see his version of cry me a river
Great rendition! I like it more than the original and Von just kicks it into another gear at 2:25, the dude is awesome and accurate!
Listening to this makes you realise there is still joy in the world.
I feel the same about his rendition of Shake It Off...Better by far for me...I confess I hadn't heard Taylor's original before and so Von is my brains preference ❤❤❤
*It's so cool to listen to old style... U can focus on different voices and instruments*
*Whoa... I don't remember commenting this? Well, it must be 3 am*
Yee and that is the point! Very special music on HI end audio system!

I can totally relate to that coming from a classical piano background myself ;)
"That guy" is literally the Maestro. He's the legend behind PMJ. All hail Lord @ScottBradlee
❤
he writes their tracks
scott is a beast
If you have two background singers of that caliber, you better be very very good. And yep, he totally nails it! What a joy to listen to and watch.
❤❤❤ sincerely, one of the background singers
I love the way he performs. Not only is his singing outstanding he acts out the song so theatrically, very rock and roll.
Pleeeeeaase invite this guy back! I'm absolutely in love with this rendition and his vocal abilities! He's a real treat!
This and Maps with Morgan James are my favorite PMJ songs.
Wow same here actually. I personally would also throw in Take Me to Church with Morgan James and Straight Up w/ Ashely Stroud.
Is it bad that my two favorites are Anaconda and Wiggle. The are not the same this way and I just seem to like it better
Aidan Black wiggle is freaking fabulous,honestly. mine are Timber and All about that bass
my favs are wiggle and we can't stop
Son increíbles!! :-)
I introduced PMJ to my 9 and 13 year old daughters, and this is our all-time favorite. Another PMJ which beats the original. Great line-up as well.
You did good. they will grow up knowing real talented musicians and fine arts

I dunno. I kinda really hate this version, too.
+Amber Freeman lol, right
+Amber Freeman isnt that right? these guys should be the superstars, not the autotune guys who have people writing shitty catchy songs for them
The guy has incredible range. Most men can't even come close to hitting the notes he is singing. He has amazing control.
Whenever I hear the original of this song on the radio, I think "I wish they'd play Modern Jukebox's version. It's WAY better." I love you guys!
The piano arrangement is sick...well accompanied by the vocalist

He is exquisite! Every thing he sings is incredibly wonderful!!!

definitely one of my favorites. congrats to Von and the band. greeting from Italy
This is my favorite from postmodern jukebox. Everything flawless, every single person on screen. Beautiful.

This is like being the original song and Magic turn it to more modern reggea cover...very nice!
True
3:02 That "NO" thooo! Woah i had to listen to that part again just because it was sooo good
He was born to be a singer :) his voice bring tears to my eyes.
Such truth and joyful.
I simply can't take my eyes off him performing.
oh man I cant count the number of times I've listened to this. GREAT cover. And that guy's VOICE...give it to me! lol
I have watched this vid at least 50 times. No kidding. It's just awesome. One of the performances by the PMJ crew.
wow I can't believe how good this is, what an incredible voice this man has, and the other vocals, the band. It blew my mind.
My favorite PMJ video. Terrific. He seems so young and fresh and innocent. Everyone involved can be very proud.
Just stumbled onto this while youtube was playing an automated music mix. i'm so in love with Von's performance. I've listend 10 times in a row and can't stop!

Same, if anything I think the oldie feel of this cover puts the lyrics in a more logical context. Both versions are great though!
Impresionante músico. Cuanto más lo escucho, más admiro la calidad del conjunto. A destacar Von Smith que hace lo "imposible" con su prodigiosa voz.

Try to make the vocals a bit louder, everything seems of equal volume and the piano drowns out the vocals at some points.
