i'm inconsolable tbh

i can't get used to the fact that this band can always wreck me in ways i thought inimaginable. and i love that this is the path they choose to follow after 'i like it when you sleep...', although it can mean nothing.

Yeah, did not like that at all. Covering a Sade song as a sad robot is a bad move.
― Don Van Gorp, midwest regional VP, marketing (誤訳侮辱), Tuesday, 21 February 2017 19:48 (seven years ago) link
yeah I really liked the album and thought it was a huge step forward, but this isn't a great version at all

reminds me of uwe schmidt's (very good) john lennon cover:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lWvI2svwrs

I HAVE ONLY JUST FOUND OUT THIS NEW SINGLE IS ACTUALLY A GODDAMN SADE COVER. THEY DARED. THEY FUCKING DARED APPROACH THE HEM.

I didn't think the Futureheads desecrating Kate Bush would be outdone in my lifetime

haha i am not that outraged but it does betray a...... lack of self-awareness, or at least Sade-awareness, on par with i dunno chvrches doing a stereolab cover? you just don't mess, it does you no favours
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Friday, 24 February 2017 18:00 (seven years ago) link
or like...when chvrches did a bauhaus cover

Stereogum ran a whole article this week on cover versions of this song. They were uniformly awful.
― Don Van Gorp, midwest regional VP, marketing (誤訳侮辱), Friday, 24 February 2017 18:03 (seven years ago) link
I would gladly listen to Chvrches cover Stereolab.
― MarkoP, Friday, 24 February 2017 18:04 (seven years ago) link
chvrches doing "bela lugosi's dead" feels way more out-of-depth than this though, not that i'm justifying this cover to people who will believe me on that point
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Friday, 24 February 2017 18:04 (seven years ago) link
that chvrches cover is so bizarre, i had totally forgotten about it
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Friday, 24 February 2017 18:05 (seven years ago) link
besides which the "by your side" cover doesn't veer from the original arrangement or reconstruct it as a rock song a la futureheads, just sort of faithfully recreates it with saxophones and synths and i assume someone humming through a distortion pedal, w matty singing through a vocoder. the anger it inspires is just another exponent of the significant contempt ppl already feel for this band, sade injury added to general insult
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Friday, 24 February 2017 18:14 (seven years ago) link
though i guess now that they've trolled lex so directly they can break up
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Friday, 24 February 2017 18:15 (seven years ago) link
what's up with the posts in this thread about how this cover is bad
― J0rdan S., Friday, 24 February 2017 18:17 (seven years ago) link
matty using a vocoder kinda subverted how i genuinely would rather not hear anyone but sade sing this song. it's like the inverse of bon iver's bonnie raitt cover, which is well-intentioned and intolerable
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Friday, 24 February 2017 18:24 (seven years ago) link
it's like they took the outro of "if i believe you" and made it a whole song, can't think of anything i'd want more in my life
― J0rdan S., Friday, 24 February 2017 19:37 (seven years ago) link
definitely better than justin vernon's autotune cover
― ufo, Saturday, 25 February 2017 04:10 (seven years ago) link
yeah uh this is amazing jordan otm
― k3vin k., Saturday, 25 February 2017 04:16 (seven years ago) link
the idea that a band who pulled off soul so flawlessly on "if i believe you" hasn't earned the right to tackle sade does not scan to me
― k3vin k., Saturday, 25 February 2017 04:49 (seven years ago) link
ok I need to hear that Chvrche s cover, and this one too.
― Mark G, Saturday, 25 February 2017 14:23 (seven years ago) link
their last album is still so good btw
― k3vin k., Sunday, 26 February 2017 03:41 (seven years ago) link
oh it's one year old today!

is it just me or is "change of heart" super hats-y, especially the beginning
― k3vin k., Sunday, 26 February 2017 04:45 (seven years ago) link
"please be naked" too tbh
― k3vin k., Sunday, 26 February 2017 05:02 (seven years ago) link
yes to both
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Sunday, 26 February 2017 05:35 (seven years ago) link
it's very easy to imagine a paul buchanan vocal over please be naked
― ufo, Sunday, 26 February 2017 05:47 (seven years ago) link
has enough time passed for us to poll the album
― k3vin k., Sunday, 26 February 2017 18:05 (seven years ago) link
omg yeah
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Sunday, 26 February 2017 18:32 (seven years ago) link
i'm going for it
― k3vin k., Sunday, 26 February 2017 19:51 (seven years ago) link
btw "by your side" still slays
― k3vin k., Friday, 7 April 2017 21:27 (seven years ago) link
slaaaaays.

sremms on 'perfect pint' is the only legitimate sade tribute tbh
