Great cover. She's got a hauntingly beautiful voice. It's refreshing to hear something besides the suicide note-like versions that are usually done here.
I remember seeing these guys randomly at Falls Fest a couple of years back. Had no idea who they were at the time, but definitely the most memorable performance of the fest. Not long after I watched this and was blown away. Easily one of my favourite "Like a Versions".
I always thought Sixpence None The Richer did it perfect justice. Leigh Nash has the most angelic voice and it gave this song a whole different tone to the original. Whereas the original is like looking out at a scene on an overcast day, the SNTR version is like the clouds clearing and the sun setting at the end of the day
OMG... I was going through past like a versions and forgot how good this is!! I wish triple J would go back into the small studio... The acoustics are sooo much better.
note to self: don't read the comment section of any like a version covers. I'm guessing these haters had failed musical careers? Beautiful cover to a beautiful song.
I have always dreamed of being famous enough to go on LAV to cover this song. They executed this song perfectly, every decision they made paid off big time. Really quite flawless.
After reading all these comments, I watched the dude on the tambourine like a hawk, expecting him to pull some crazy moves out of his hat. Now that it's over, all I can say is....Best Tambourine Knocker EVER!!!
There is freedom within, there is freedom without Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost But you'll never see the end of the road While you're traveling with me Hey now, hey now Don't dream it's over Hey now, hey now When the world comes in They come, they come To build a wall between us We know they won't win Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof In the paper today tales of war and of waste But you turn right over to the T.V. page Hey now, hey now Don't dream it's over Hey now, hey now When the world comes in They come, they come To build a wall between us We know they won't win Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart Only shadows ahead barely clearing the roof Get to know the feeling of liberation and release Hey now, hey now Don't dream it's over Hey now, hey now When the world comes in They come, they come To build a wall between us We know they won't win
the thing she said at the beginning about the song weaving its way into our social psyches rings true for me. idk how I know the lyrics to the song when I first heard it. amazing!
I just heard this in an episode of "All Rise" and had to Google to find out who was singing it. Beautiful! There are lots of great covers of this song, but this one is different, raw, emotional. I especially like the ending.
Didn't want to watch this. One of the greatest pop ballads ever recorded covered by my favorite new pop act? I was afraid I'd cry like a little bitch. God damn it...
Legend has it the electric guitarist is still adjusting his volume knob to this day
Great cover. She's got a hauntingly beautiful voice. It's refreshing to hear something besides the suicide note-like versions that are usually done here.
Wow what a distinctive voice and a great cover
middle kids are so fucking good!!
absolutely incredible tambourine skills
lol. it takes talent to look that good and play a instrument.
Heyy it's Tidus
Stop it! He is a vegetarian!
Love crowded house, love this song, love the cover!
Tambourine guy steals the show. A+
we need more triangle
There was a tambourine guy? I was looking at her!
Wow what talent, beautiful voice
Timber Wood goddess

Great cover, they don't take away from the beauty of the original track but still make it their own.
This is better than the original.
Beautiful voice and performance. She made it her own
She's in the zone.....cannot be stop. (Bravo!)
This is a fantastic cover. One of the best I have heard over the 10 years I've been listening. (Kisschasy's Alex Chilton cover still has my No.1)
oh man I forgot about the Alex Chilton cover. Gonna go listen to it now
can you link it please? I cant seem to find it

every time i listen to this cover i get goosebumps had it on repeat all day. lovin' it
I just played this song 5 times in a row.
Dylan Brayshaw that’s fucking mad bro
I’m on number 56 lol. Can’t stop won’t stop. Lol
And then they opened for Crowded House on their recent Australian/New Zealand tour! Glad I got to see both of these amazing bands at one show!
LOVE IT ! Amazing how during a cover you hear and feel things you never did in the original! Thats where its at! :)
Thank you
Nice shirt 👌
Oh and the performance was good too 🎶
Me and me mam and me dad and me gran went off to waterloo
Stunning what a voice
beautiful voice and rendition of Don't Dream It's Over
i think this is still the best cover i've heard of anything ever
her voice is so GOOD
im never dissappointed when someone covers split enz/crowded house
Holy fuck she can sing
I love the expression on her face after the song finishes, she's so gorgeous
OMG... I was going through past like a versions and forgot how good this is!! I wish triple J would go back into the small studio... The acoustics are sooo much better.
I like the way she say "hey now"
Yeah guys nailed it sooooo good!!!!
I like that someone washed their hair so lush xx
Definitely one of the best singing voices I have ever heard.
CAn you please put this on spotify?
Nailed it. Gives me shivers just like the original does!
note to self: don't read the comment section of any like a version covers. I'm guessing these haters had failed musical careers?
Beautiful cover to a beautiful song.
Thank you! Finally someone loves this cover! It's amazing.
Singing is on point but the rest is a hack job...
You have to have a music career to have an opinion? Cool. Just make sure.
i didn't know my body had that much water bc i've been cryin for hours tbh this gave me chills back to first grade skjbhdfvbdkfh
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GET RID OF THAT INTRO!! It makes my ears bleed every Friday.
at least turn it down to match the rest of the video
Lol
I agree, just pour gravel in my ears; more therapeutic that whatever this mess is.
U know they wont win
how do I get tambourine covered cloth?!!! XD
Don't not steal Richard Kingsmills tea towel
Holy crap what a voice!!
I have always dreamed of being famous enough to go on LAV to cover this song.
They executed this song perfectly, every decision they made paid off big time. Really quite flawless.
The only cover of this song I will even allow my ears to hear - and I love it. Absolutely stunning.
Tambourine guy got his own record deal!!
,
*Fantastic Cover Ends*
*TWO PEOPLE CLAPPING VERY LOUDLY*
*Video Ends*
Is there a way to purchase individual songs performed on this show?
Grew up with this song as a kid in the 80s....the way you sang it and hearing the words clearer gave it a whole new depth and appreciation for it.
After reading all these comments, I watched the dude on the tambourine like a hawk, expecting him to pull some crazy moves out of his hat. Now that it's over, all I can say is....Best Tambourine Knocker EVER!!!
he's usually playing drums so the tambo should have been an easy gig lol
This song always finds me at my most troubling times and I can't help but ball my eyes out. Maybe it's fate.
they won't win!
I just wanna crawl up inside that voice and take a nap. So soothing.
Her voice NEVER fails to give me goosebumps 💙
Massive Crowdies Fan...ace cover
The original song is very anachronistic. I feel like it could have come out any time within the last 40 years. The songwriting is so universal.
that blondie is so beautiful
Beautiful
WONDERFUL! - outstanding voice...great version...better than the original...bravo!
love this. faithful beautiful cover.
Great job guys! Come sing this for us at 107.1 The peak in New York
holy moly
There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
While you're traveling with me
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win
Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof
In the paper today tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the T.V. page
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win
Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only shadows ahead barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and release
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win
the thing she said at the beginning about the song weaving its way into our social psyches rings true for me. idk how I know the lyrics to the song when I first heard it. amazing!
Hit like as soon as she started singing. Beautiful voice.
just put these on spotify already 😩
One of the best like a versions I've ever heard!
This makes me cry every time I watch. Fantastic song. Excellent cover. Love Middle Kids ❤❤❤❤❤
I was really struggling today, and then I found this video. Thanks Middle Kids, you guys got me out of a slump :)
they commme, you know they wont winnnnn
Her voice is unique. I quite like it. Of course, I love this song too.
Everytime her high notes come, it rolls my insides with a chill. I’m a sucker for unique voices or atleast voices you don’t hear often.
Her voice makes my soul happy
I always come back to this cover 😭 so fire 😩
Amazing! Did justice to the song. I am so emotional right now
Aussies?
Yup!!
this is v nice
I just heard this in an episode of "All Rise" and had to Google to find out who was singing it. Beautiful! There are lots of great covers of this song, but this one is different, raw, emotional. I especially like the ending.
No one can outdo Neil on anything in my opinion, he's magical and magnificent. But this is lovely. Great job. Her voice is beautiful.
Well almost anything...Neil's covers of Smiths tunes aren't that great
absolutely amazing
This is getting included in my hottest 100
I listen to this video monthly. For years. WHY STILL NO SPOTFY.
Sure just vocalize the keyboard part for the break. As one does. Incredible!
Didn't want to watch this. One of the greatest pop ballads ever recorded covered by my favorite new pop act? I was afraid I'd cry like a little bitch. God damn it...
dont dreamy sofa?
😂
So much i wanna say....maybe I'll just start and end with...thanx
Her voice is brilliant. so nice.
I love this song
Crowded House would be proud 👏🏼
what a fucking voice, effortless and she's hot too 😉👍
So good.... no other words
Love Middle Kids but that song is severely overrated.
You'll never see the end of the road when your traveling with me x
0:39
I LOVE the Middle Kids, but this sucks.
Not more tambourine. Not less. Just right
One of the best this year
Amaizing!
American Dad made this such a sad memorial song
Amazing!
Your little cousins sound like rad kids
Goosebumps!!!
The TV show All Rise brought me here.
Needs to open her mouth a bit more and enunciate.
Another modern singer who sounds like an Australian Raven. Come on Triple J, enough with the "broke busker" music...
Miley Cyrus and Arianna Grande fo a better cover. This is still good though.
Nice cover but nothing too exciting here. Prefer Miley's version actually
Flock of Dimes also covered this song for AV Undercover. Both are worth a listen and the Flock of Dimes cover is on Spotify as well as UA-cam.
