He makes the whole party scene sound so sad and desolate. I love it, it really gives the song a new meaning... The words "we can't stop" are no longer a rebellious cry against authority, they are a cry for help-- they literally can't stop because they need to escape from their depressing lives.
"Only dad can judge us" The heart wrenching "Don't break his heart, his achy break heart" Eminem's Lose Yourself in the beginning Lion King's I Just Wanna be King at 1:20 Don't take this song at face value. It's not just a cover, it's a message.
"lose yourself" at the beginning because miley lost herself for a period of time, the lion king riff because of her disney background, achy breaky heart because of her dad. genius
This guy's covers are literally the best thing ever. I've been listening to a playlist of them for like an hour and a half now and WOW. Impressed as hell.
I just love how it is a cover of the song yet has a totally different message. The original version is about partying all night and letting loose. But this cover talks of the dads point of view, and how he just can't control his wild daughter, and watching her lose herself breaks his heart.
love it. i have struggled with heroin addiction for over 9 years, and this cover makes me cry. i hope others actually grasp the message behind this version. ALSO, the lyrics are not 'dancing with miley', it's 'dancing with molly' molly=mdma/ecstasy.
MsKatta98 because he wanted to clean up the song, put meaning behind it and make it more than just a song about drugs and partying. He also thinks that Miley's is extremely disappointed aha XD
+TheFlyingScott100 Naaaaah. Music is just an extension of the artist's internal life; They live with these emotions and thoughts, and we only shiver due to being exposed and working through another's experience.
And I think you have to put a big sign behind your comment: ATTENTION SARCASM!!! people around here are bound to get confused otherwise, just because it's the internet... ;p
Some how (and don't know if some of you will agree with me) but Bastille always manage to pull off Covers very very well, including Of the night and several others from the Album 'Other peoples heart break' they are very good in how they do it and add a new twist. Brilliant :)
Heard this last night when I went out for a first drink with someone. We watched the sunset and he sang this in the car going back home. He gave me a great memory ❤️
So beautiful ;(! They actually have a meaning behind the song! They are showing what they have accomplished ! Here i thought No angels brings a strong message ! This one Tops it :D !!!
I think this song is a message to Miley from the band saying the only person who is aloud to huge her is her dad as long as he's happy with her then everyone else should be too x
At the start i was like Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity To seize everything you ever wanted One moment Would you capture it or just let it slip? his palms are sweaty...

I think that you thought of it in a way too deep way...
Wow so wise comment :O
Wow.... I feel less wise now....
Oh my god. That is so deep, it kinda hurts xD
And this is Bastille, this is Dan: transforming every song into something so deep, it makes me cry...
When he starts to laugh during the "Achy Breaky Heart" part, I just fall in love.
"Only dad can judge us"
The heart wrenching "Don't break his heart, his achy break heart"
Eminem's Lose Yourself in the beginning
Lion King's I Just Wanna be King at 1:20
Don't take this song at face value. It's not just a cover, it's a message.
"lose yourself" at the beginning because miley lost herself for a period of time, the lion king riff because of her disney background, achy breaky heart because of her dad. genius
I honestly can't understand how they don't have the whole world yet.
***** fight me
***** lol, alright then, see ya there
This guy's covers are literally the best thing ever. I've been listening to a playlist of them for like an hour and a half now and WOW. Impressed as hell.
this is actually better than the original.
I like both, but you're right, this is also good.
how do Bastille always manage to turn a song into a beautiful masterpiece? 👌
+ItsKateElisabeth I know right? this song created so much controversy and then when they sing it it's like music made from heaven haha
I just love how it is a cover of the song yet has a totally different message.
The original version is about partying all night and letting loose. But this cover talks of the dads point of view, and how he just can't control his wild daughter, and watching her lose herself breaks his heart.

Dan sings Miley. They changed the lyrics (although I have no clue why...)
MsKatta98 because he wanted to clean up the song, put meaning behind it and make it more than just a song about drugs and partying. He also thinks that Miley's is extremely disappointed aha XD
much better than the original
this is why bastille is a genius
IS a genius? haha
James Taylor Haha yes, because "Bastille" is ONE band. So yeah, Bastille is a genius.
hahoi
Bastille did it first....
I wonder if they ever get shivers from their own music while they are performing it?
+TheFlyingScott100 Naaaaah. Music is just an extension of the artist's internal life; They live with these emotions and thoughts, and we only shiver due to being exposed and working through another's experience.
They find depth in everything. It's brilliant to find this kind of beauty in the most unexpected places...
OH My GOD!! can't believe this song can sound so good! frightening talent bastille!
I like this waaaaaaayyyyy better than Miley's. Who agrees?
I do :)
How can't I agree? xD
It's so different and way better than Miley's
amen!
Yup I agree
Love this version and the addition of her fathers lyrics...genius!
I love the irony in this. Brilliant cover, just absolutely brilliant.
I'm in love with this cover, they managed to make this emotional which is genius.
Awesome vocal and arrangement. Lose Yourself + We Can't Stop + Achy Breaky Heart + We Can't Stop = Kickass!
LUV it
All I know is that I can't stop listening to this cover. I hated the original but this .... Bastille you did it again!
how are they so perfect i honestly don't understand. i LOVE bastille, so talented.
I heard Miley Cyrus made a cover of this song.
No he made the cover actually XD
Abigail Mahoney you don't say ...
Abigail Mahoney Oh hoho...you didn't understand it did you?
Abigail Mahoney Ohhh god
And I think you have to put a big sign behind your comment: ATTENTION SARCASM!!! people around here are bound to get confused otherwise, just because it's the internet... ;p
Also, this was pure GENIUS. I love Bastille so much.
I'm crying from how perfect this cover is
Can I just point out how amazing it sounds when he sings the word 'bathroom'?!
This cover is so beautiful. It honestly makes me cry
his voice is so,,, deep,,, and that accent makes it only better!
That lose yourself tune. Lovely
IT'S STILL BEAUTIFUL :)
What a take on this song by Bastille it makes the song have a more of a literal sense
More than literal...
MsKatta98 I see you on every Bastille comment section I go to... How odd
Xenopug odd? xD I just happen to believe in discussing things
Can't get over how good this is
I'm in love, his accent makes this even better he just made this song amazing
The guitar rift at 1:19 is straight out of "I Just Can't Wait to be King" from The Lion King *****
Yeah cause she started on Disney channel. Every piece these guys add to this song is brilliantly placed.
Some how (and don't know if some of you will agree with me) but Bastille always manage to pull off Covers very very well, including Of the night and several others from the Album 'Other peoples heart break' they are very good in how they do it and add a new twist. Brilliant :)
Can't stop listening!
Dan has such a beautiful voice
I can't remember the last time I heard a cover that was also a diss against the original artist.
THUMBS UP!
This was done so bloody well. They knew exactly what they were doing, cheeky bastards. I love them.
Heard this last night when I went out for a first drink with someone. We watched the sunset and he sang this in the car going back home. He gave me a great memory ❤️
'don't break his heart, his achy breaky heart'
honestly this is genius
British accent, I loved it!
OH MU GOD I LOVE HIS ACCENT
He has a south african accent as his parents are from there
omg the achy breaky heart part is the best
KILLED IT!!!! Miley Cyprus doesn't stand a chance. Thanks Bastille for making this song listenable. ;)
Can’t believe this is 8 years old, I remember hearing it when it came on BBC live lounge for the first time
So beautiful ;(! They actually have a meaning behind the song! They are showing what they have accomplished ! Here i thought No angels brings a strong message ! This one Tops it :D !!!
I breathe Bastille~ one of my all time top favorites!! don't think I could ever stand down from that !! xoxo
2:43 Dan laughing. Love it❣
I like this much better than Miley singing it. So good!
The cover, the voice, the lyrics I love.
Loved the touch with the chords of I Can't Wait To Be King in 1:20 and 2:25
Wonderful America , Good work boys , from romania , with peace.....
dan's voice just goes with anything
at 1:43 he says "Queuing up to get into the bathroom". Since he changes the words from the original by Miley Cyrus.
I love this so much Miley's original version is great, but this is awesome. Huge thumbs up
Please make your covers available on spotify! Love them!
2:45 His laughter ! SO Adorable
This is much better than Miley Cyrus'
I agree with you :)))
I'm a big fan of Miley's but I would have to agree
uste sabe
Nomas digo la verdad!
I appreciate your accurate use of the apostrophe. Good job, friend. :)
Oh my god his accent when he says "can't" *dies* btw i heard this on tumblr and was hooked
I heard Miley did cover this song
That is Miley's song
Mia♥ I heard Sarcasm is a lost cause for most
Mia♥ we know silly girl!! this is sarcasm!!! LOL oh Gosh
Haha I like your style
Emilee Grob thank you
His voice....So smooth and edgy at the same time....Excuse me while I float on to my own terrestrial infinity.
Who dislike this song version seriously.. ? they made it 10X better
so much better than the original, actually makes me like the song!
I love the Achy Breaky Heart tidbit lol
Hahahahaha I love this song! I already love Bastille, but this makes them so much better.
This is better than the original song. And definitely better than the original video 3 I love Bastille ♥

I think this song is a message to Miley from the band saying the only person who is aloud to huge her is her dad as long as he's happy with her then everyone else should be too x
Auf jedenfall besser als das original !!!
This actuallly makes the song good!

This is so sad... I love what they added to the song...
his voice is just so beautiful
This just made my whole night
Better than the original
This song is 12000 times sadder that I thought it was going to be.
I love this version so much more, I can't be the only one
That was beautifully sad but still beautiful
this is sick haha :D
they're incredible live, you'll love it
Definitely quitar from 1:20 onwards is from Lion King?
At the start i was like Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted One moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip? his palms are sweaty...
I love Miley, but OMG, Bastille.
Best band eva!
It's so much better than the original
