When Jamie said, "Working at Eesyesanzeychildevelmisenner" I felt that.
When you're singing on the toilet, but guests are over and you ate too many hot peppers the night before.
THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN PERFORMED AT THE SUPER BOWL
im starting to worry what listening to this kind of heartbreak everyday will do to my conscious
the original was fucking gut wrenching enough, this just tore my heart out
i always liked yt music uploads where people make their own little music video with clips
Never since Ian Curtis has a singer had such a soul destroying voice.
Best. Cover. Ever.
I can't think of a better video than this, it fits so good. Its dreamy, hopeful and somehow gives a bittersweet feeling. Old technology makes me think of a childlike hopefull but naive humanity for some reason. Maybe its their positively curious demeanor that looked at technology as a field of discovering or achieving something that we thought was impossible rather than a way of career success or an innovation to make people a small bit lazier or a weapon that makes nations look scarier. I mean yea a huge chunk of old technology was used as weapons for war but people weren't especially looking at them as weapons. I dunno, it just gives you the feeling of a kid talking about their dreams which is pretty much what the song portrays.
I know this is blasphemous, because I adore the original, but for me this is THE definitive version of this song. Tracy's is sad, but Jamie's is absolutely heart-breaking.
Holy. Fucking. Shit.
I just discovered this cover.... It's absolutely gorgeous
this feels like i shouldn't be listening to it
Casio tone for the Painfully Alone vibes for sure
Love it. His voice is like a caress.
keep coming back to this song
The original version is awesome and Xiu Xiu really innovated it. The tweaks in lyrics from the original are masterful.
He has the most incredible voice and singing.
saved my life
