I don't know the original, but that is great. I love the video too. Were they afraid the chrome streamer would upstage Kit?

Well, it looks and sounds great!
Just checked out the original on spotify, and I must say, I prefer the KR version - especially the drums, which give the whole thing a darker, more primal feel

[SpaceChick]

The best cover version I have heard of that song (and I've heard a few).

I love Crowded House, and I always think its tough for people to do their songs justice, but once again Kit's sublime voice backed by all you talented guys have knocked it out of the ball park... Sensational Nige

(also some rather snazzy looking moves from you in your silk gloves and hat!)

I was expecting the song to stay on piano & everyone just picked up their instruments & stood there, but yeah... Brilliant track.
I don't know the original, but I really like this version. I'm gonna have to pop on Youtube & have a listen to the CH version.

Wow, take the vocals out and that has a pretty big Mogwai vibe (that is a very good thing in my world), but the vocals give it a sort of early Muse b-side but better vibe (also a good thing), very good indeed. They'll be cleaning feathers out of those violins for months though. Also the beret and gloves combo does give you something of a French assassin vibe.

[fumps]

Wow
you guys are outstanding !!!

yet again great stuff.

[Raymondo]

I clicked on reply to topic.....

and words fail me......

WOW!

Just








WOW!!!!

Nige, it's SUPERB mate! Beautifully played and produced. And the video itself has a real 'pro' quality to it. Very nice indeed - cool and clever but not too artsy. I really dig it.

Mrs Skol commented how Kit's vocal reminds her of 'Kate Bush meets Jewel' (a US singer I hadn't heard of). Anyway, it's a compliment

[Musicman20]

Nig you fit right into that band...super cool. Excellent video!

[xilddx]

Dear friends, I must say I'm delighted at your reaction! Thanks so much, we had a lot of laughs doing it, just like the last one. We're proud of it Can't wait for the launch gig and getting the EP out on Sunday!

Thanks again xx

BTW, does it actually look slow motion to you? We did a double speed version of the song in the same pitch to film to, and then slowed the film to half speed for the final edit. I was expecting it to look more dramatic, but it seems quite subtle, maybe I've watched it too often

[geoffbyrne]

Lovely track. Congrats.

Looks awesome Nigel, sounds fantastic too, ace job the lot of you!

It looks ever so slightly slow-mo but its not distractingly so. I like it

[xilddx]

Thanks Geoff and Si

[ead]

Yeah, nice. Where did you get all the asbestos from ?

Yep, it looked slo-mo to me and I liked the effect. Though I thought Kit's lip-syncing looked somehow 'not quite right' in places, but your explanation of the double-speed recording probably explains that. But that's a really minor thing that I wouldn't have brought up if you hadn't asked.

Congrats on a seriously good piece of work.

Thanks mate! I had serious fun at rehearsal last night with that fast tremolo pulse on a huge dub tone, long low slides sound awesome. It's going to sound massive live I'm rather excited.

Cheers!
