I love you to bits as a result of your past mate. May I thank you for playing a major role in the sounds of my youth. That, may I add, I still listen to often today. Onya Tim. From Oz mate. 🇦🇺
Oh wow.... as a crazed Simple Minds fan I must have heard this song a million times.... I’ve never heard a cover version that made me want to listen to it again - it’s a surprisingly difficult song to do. This is beautiful - they aren’t afraid to rip it up and make it their own. Bravo!
It was a special tribute to a special song! Bravo to Simple Minds for creating it, and bravo to Boy & Bear for the bravery and artistry to put their own spin in such a magnificent song. Good music is just good music :)
I don't think people realise this but this song was a b breath of fresh air - an escape from COVID lockdowns. The enjoyment this song brought to all of us. Love you guys.
There are very few bands that make a version of a famous song and make it as good as the original, and very rarely surpass the original. Congratulations guys, you made it.
"Dear Mr. Vernon, we accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. But we think you're crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us - in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain......and an athlete......and a basket case......a princess......and a criminal. Does that answer your question? Sincerely yours, the Breakfast Club." great cover, almost like hearing it for the first time again
This is just pure heaven. I can't stop listening to this! It's one of those songs where you could feel so low, but when you play this you feel like you're listening to it in the clouds and nothing matters.
Wow, I've always loved this song and I love Boy and Bear, to have the two collide and to love it as much as the original is a surprise! Sometimes you hope for the best but it misses the mark...these guys nailed it! The addition of Annie Hamilton's vocals was genius.
Love the fill before the last chorus. As a teenager of the 80's, watched Breakfast club million times. Bought the original single when it came out. This is a damn fine cover. Well done. I love how you truly made it your own.
Whoa .. two worlds collide .. outstandingly awesome. Like A Version 2021 top cover of the year .. calling it already. Absolutely made it their own & nailed it ..👌🏻👍🏻✌🏻💜🎵🎶
Came across this while looking for big 80s anthems for a project I'm working on. Covers of such a big sounding, period classic like this, I always listen with trepidation. But not only was I pleasantly surprisedly by Boy&Bear's version, I found myself listening to it over and over - and saving it to my Favourites list. B&B have applied their own contemporary cool to a timeless masterpiece - and will sure extend its longevity. Big thumb's up from me.
This reminds me of when the world wasn’t totally jacked up and, even though there were troubles, there were a whole lot things about which to be hopeful.
Who else came here because they just heard this used on Channel 9's 'The Block'? Season 20, Episode 10, 33 min mark. They only played like a 20 second snippet and I just had to track it down. Now I've found it, and I love it!! ❤️

As Simple Mind's Ex-live sound engineer I fully approve, awesome version, love it to bits.

@@smeary10 Thank you for the lovely words.
"Here lies Philip J Fry, named for his uncle, to carry on his spirit."
Rip yancy 😭
This will forever be the episode that comes to mind when I hear this song, all the feels ❤️
Absolute feels train
bruh why would you do this
That was such a good episode.

I don’t need to add a comment. You said it all.
I thought the same thing exactly. :-)

Ummm.... really?

This what I want from Like a Version. Not just a cover but a different take, a band making it different, putting their own style to it.
Brilliant! X
Give whoever mixed this a medal ASAP! Those drums were crispppppp
Those harmonies are like a hug for your ears!
truer words were never spoken
It's like there's a great party in my ears and everyone has a ride home...
So much music to little time think in rip Van winkle mode missed this one breakfast club how much shit was I on what year is it
@@kenphegan1029 you ok man?
I'm good Cheri
I’ve watched this a million times over the years has to be one of the best covers of all time
THIS is what LAV should be. The production quality is beautiful too. Perfect

This is nowhere near the original

Being an absolute simple minds fan I was ready for the worst, but wow! These guys have done an awesome job at reviving this great tune. Love it !
Lovely Annie Hamilton & sturdy Boy & Bear Rocking up one of my favourite songs from my teenage years...Bliss.
Wow, I've always loved this song and I love Boy and Bear, to have the two collide and to love it as much as the original is a surprise! Sometimes you hope for the best but it misses the mark...these guys nailed it! The addition of Annie Hamilton's vocals was genius.
I’m not sure I love it as much as the original but I do love it

Just WOW! I love this song and enjoy singing it as well. But nothing like this!!! Beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing!
Best cover. Great job. Faithfull to the spirit of the original and definitely making it their own. Neither a copycat nor an artificial rework.
Any day I get to hear something new with Annie Hamilton is a good day ♥
Whoa .. two worlds collide .. outstandingly awesome.
Like A Version 2021 top cover of the year .. calling it already.
Absolutely made it their own & nailed it ..👌🏻👍🏻✌🏻💜🎵🎶
Well one thing I won't forget about is this great cover 👌
Great song, great choice, the boys were first class and Annie smashed it out of the park. 👍🏻
I am a simple human, I see a Simple Minds cover I click. Love the choice.
Great cover!
love seeing annie hamilton back in the studio
I really wish they'd mixed Annie's vocals up by about 15%. So much rich harmony there begging to be brought to life!
WOW! You folks just KILLED it! I love the a cappella intro and also the way you brought that back into the song farther in. Good JOB!

Thank you to all involved in performing and producing this masterpiece 🙋♂️🐻💖
What a banger! That bassline is fucking slick
Prime example of the power of bass, and how fucking insync he is with the drummer :O brilliant
Right? Especially at the end there, it really stood out, excellently done.
best cover of simple minds I've ever heard and I've heard a lot
Wow, that was an awesome arrangement. Beautiful vocals 🙌🏼
Proud to be in Spotifi's top 1% listeners of this band last year. Love this band.
Every cover these lads have done has just been on god tier level of amazing
Wowee, another one for the Like a Version Hall of Fame!
Maravilha de som Boy and bear, é demais.
Obrigado Spotify por me apresentar a esta grande banda.
Very therapeutic cannot thank you enough 👏👏👏🙏❤️
What an absolute ripper! It's been a minute since the gang has done a Like A Version
Just thought of looking up this song after watching Easy A. And brought me here, what a timely upload! Thank you. Love the version. 😊
This plus their cover of Fall at your Feet makes Boy and Bear a truly graceful and unique group of human beings
AND walking on a dream cover
Finished in qld, came to UA-cam straight away to share with my mates, posted 32 seconds ago yesssss ty triple j you’re on it
Its, official. These humans have musical super powers
Took some balls to tackle, and they all nailed it. Respect.
I am a huge Simple Minds fan and I love Boy & Bear too. This sounds so incredibly amazing that I have to say, it's better than the original for me.
What a great cover, they took it and made it their own love it
Annie Hamilton is awesome.
One of my Fav 80s songs
Can't stop listening, so cool 👍🏻
Boy and Bear prove yet again they can really make a song their own. I still listen to Walking on a Dream consistently
This reminds me of when the world wasn’t totally jacked up and, even though there were troubles, there were a whole lot things about which to be hopeful.
Amazing 👏 cheers from the U.S.
Fantastic , one of the best cover of my favorite song. Keep it up and good things will come your way👍

Me: *right click insert into Hottest 100 shortlist*

Awesome. One of the best songs ever
Gorgeous vocals!
Boy and Bear just wonderful as usual
Never heard of
these people but her voice is sublime
I can’t help but think of REM with those harmonies!! Very reminiscent of old REM very good cover!
I’m about to watch this version for the first time
One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite movies. Did not disappoint. Innovative and respectful
Loved this and I don't like many covers. Love Simple Minds, Thankyou.
My favorite song, they did an awesome job with this cover.
Brillante!!!. Desde Argentina, abrazos!🇦🇷
You ar marvellous Boy&Bear. The world should know :-)
Love this song!
Eu como nativo do pais mais misical do mundo, que é o Brasil, digo- Isto ficou maravilhoso.
.. love simple minds… this is brilliant
Thank you!
I really like his voice x
I really like how they didn’t use the main da-na na da-na-na guitar riff until the end, it made it feel like a well-earned callback
perfect version ... perfect band !!!!
You guys did a phenomenal job. Absolute perfection.❤
I have never liked this song until I heard this cover. Unbelievably good!
Goosebumps!
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Boy, they took this song apart and put it back together with surgical precision and immaculate taste.
best version of this song I've heard. Like it better than the original.
this video inspired me to search for the original... IMHO im happy to have found the original..i also like this version as second best.
Amazing
With Will Forte on the bass, love this!
Wtf the live recording on those drums is absolutely perfect for the sound they want. I thought it was a sample.
