Covers aren't supposed to be duplications of the original. She sang it the way she felt it. She's not a Xerox machine. She's an artist, singing her heart with someone elses words.
Drink up baby, stay up all night With the things you could do You won't but you might The potential you'll be That you'll never see The promises you'll only make Drink up with me now And forget all about The pressure of days Do what I say And I'll make you okay And drive them away The images stuck in your head People you've been before That you don't want around anymore That push and shove and won't bend to your will I'll keep them still Drink up baby, look at the stars I'll kiss you again between the bars Where I'm seeing you there With your hands in the air Waiting to finally be caught Drink up one more time And I'll make you mine Keep you apart, Deep in my heart Separate from the rest, Where I like you the best And keep the things you forgot The people you've been before That you don't want around anymore That push and shove and won't bend to your will I'll keep them still
I think that her version is beyond sublime. Enough of the banter about whether Smith's version is better or not; she's paying homage to him, so I wouldn't expect the song to sound identical to his version. It's sad when fandom causes an automatic rejection of a beautiful cover.
Obviously this is very good but there is something about the way Elliot Smith sings the song that can just never be matched by any other artist. The song personifies alcohol addiction, and the lyrics describe this "person" seducing someone into becoming an alcoholic. Elliot Smith's way of expressing that, through the softness in his voice, is done in a way where you can feel so many different emotions in the same moment as you listen to it. It's very difficult to explain, but it's definitely more than just sadness. This cover is beautifully done though, and I'm just expressing my own opinion. Everyone is entitled to their own, which means we don't need to fight about who sings it best.
Not a bad cover. It's just that the song is completely different...yeah it has that melody and the lyrics but the way Eliott Smith sings it you can't describe it with words...thoose feelings he makes you feel - you just can't feel them when you're listening to this cover. I don't want to offend the singer of this one just expressing my opinion. P.S.: You have a good voice!! xx
Pij,zlato, zůstaň celou noc S věcmi, co bys měl udělat Neměl bys,ale můžeš Ten potenciál,jaký budeš mít Který nikdy nespatříš Jen sliby,které uděláš Teď se mnou pij A na vše zapomeň Na všední tlak Jen udělej,co ti povím A uvolni se A odvez je pryč Ty obrázky přilepené v tvé hlavě Lidé,které jsi kdysi znával Které kolem sebe již nechceš Kteří tě tlačí,strkají a ohíbají tvojí vůli Budu si je nadále udržovat Pij,zlato,koukni na hvězdy Znova tě políbím mezi bary Kde tě uvidím S tvýma rukama ve vzduchu Čekajícího na to být konečně chycen Ještě jednou se napij A staneš se mým Zůstaň stranou, Hluboko v mém srdci Oddělen od zbytku Kde se mi líbíš nejvíc A nech být ty tebou zapomenuté věci Lidé,které jsi kdysi znával Které kolem sebe již nechceš Kteří tě tlačí,strkají a ohíbají tvojí vůli Budu si je nadále udržovat
Submissively kissing a liquor flask between the Bars as a way of tolerance affordability, hiding consumption, and from being 86'd ... Ahh, I remember it all too well .. Genius
this is a beautiful rendition but the original is sung so softly you feel like you trespassing in someone's heart. i think it touches every dimension you are capable of feeling. thank you for listening, hope you are well.
So after all the comments about which version is best, I had to listen to Elliot's version. The only difference is this, apparently, is a cover and one is male and one is female. 🙄🙄🙄
Did anyone else discover him when "Good Will hunting "was premiered in the cinema in 1997? 23 years ago! I have been a fan since then, and just released my own version of Between the Bars if you want to check it out! Hope you are all ok and keep safe! ua-cam.com/video/DttzHwh9-m8/v-deo.html
one of your favorite artists covering one of your favorite songs from another one of your favorite artists, life is great.
100%
Oh, whoa…yes.
Plus me

Drink up baby, stay up all night
With the things you could do
You won't but you might
The potential you'll be
That you'll never see
The promises you'll only make
Drink up with me now
And forget all about
The pressure of days
Do what I say
And I'll make you okay
And drive them away
The images stuck in your head
People you've been before
That you don't want around anymore
That push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still
Drink up baby, look at the stars
I'll kiss you again between the bars
Where I'm seeing you there
With your hands in the air
Waiting to finally be caught
Drink up one more time
And I'll make you mine
Keep you apart,
Deep in my heart
Separate from the rest,
Where I like you the best
And keep the things you forgot
The people you've been before
That you don't want around anymore
That push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still
♡
beautiful and misery music. nah... my favourite.
They don't want you around either. Bathe maybe?

Hearing this cover is what led me to discover Elliott Smith and the rest of his music.

@@alpers.6068 mertin annesi: ???
Elliott Smith has more emotion in his voice I think. But of course both are beautiful.
Every time, this song makes me stop what I am doing and listen closely. So charming
This singer is blessed...
I love this version, Elliott's and Chris's all three are uniquely beautiful. They each give a different feel to the song. And I think that's beautiful
Chris?
:: Googles. ::
This song describes my whole life. Her voice is the best for that. And those lyrics
Aha
+Jeanne Dark Song and lyrics by Elliot Smith.
Eerily haunting, w/ a supernatural voice quality. Thank you Miss Obel !
No one can put up to the original, but this is the most beautiful cover
Thanks to this I knew Agnes Obel years ago and I love her.
Four years now..still in love with it❤
Your voice is so beautiful... This cover is amazing...
I would like her to do a full album of Elliot Smith covers.
Oh my god, yes! I'd love to hear her sing I Figured You Out.
Son of Sam. Figure 8.
Amazing as always!
I love her voice, particularly when shes sings 'shove' so good
w końcu mogę posłuchać prawdziwej muzyki na youtubie ;)
That was live?! What a voice...
Beautiful
Th best cover ever, it touches a dimension in the song, which wasn't yet expressed before.... Denne stemme er sjælden smuk! grtz Aleph

love it
Pij,zlato, zůstaň celou noc
S věcmi, co bys měl udělat
Neměl bys,ale můžeš
Ten potenciál,jaký budeš mít
Který nikdy nespatříš
Jen sliby,které uděláš
Teď se mnou pij
A na vše zapomeň
Na všední tlak
Jen udělej,co ti povím
A uvolni se
A odvez je pryč
Ty obrázky přilepené v tvé hlavě
Lidé,které jsi kdysi znával
Které kolem sebe již nechceš
Kteří tě tlačí,strkají a ohíbají tvojí vůli
Budu si je nadále udržovat
Pij,zlato,koukni na hvězdy
Znova tě políbím mezi bary
Kde tě uvidím
S tvýma rukama ve vzduchu
Čekajícího na to být konečně chycen
Ještě jednou se napij
A staneš se mým
Zůstaň stranou,
Hluboko v mém srdci
Oddělen od zbytku
Kde se mi líbíš nejvíc
A nech být ty tebou zapomenuté věci
Lidé,které jsi kdysi znával
Které kolem sebe již nechceš
Kteří tě tlačí,strkají a ohíbají tvojí vůli
Budu si je nadále udržovat
Checo ?
Song of a desolated soul in search of horizon...
So good!!
Genial.
Un besazo guapa.

OMG!
Que dire ....belle reprise d'eliot smith
Buena canción
this version is rustic and cool! ...
Kyle xy good que bonita voz tiene
He escuchado las otras versiones y originalmente no se de quien es esta canción, pero me gustó mucho esta versión.
Venus Juarez elliott smith, de el es la canción original
Cooooool
i like your soul :)
Can't quite cope with people covering Smith's song even though Agnes Obel has a voice of an angel.
this is a beautiful rendition but the original is sung so softly you feel like you trespassing in someone's heart. i think it touches every dimension you are capable of feeling. thank you for listening, hope you are well.
elliott smith the best
kusursuz ses
Wow
😍😍😍🌸🌺🌼🌺🌸🌼🌺💃
Is this the cover that comes out in the skin i live in
Why isn't this on spotify??
buena version
💔
FUORICLASSE!!!!!!!

So after all the comments about which version is best, I had to listen to Elliot's version. The only difference is this, apparently, is a cover and one is male and one is female. 🙄🙄🙄
s'est jute magnifique
This popped up on youtube after the cover by Jessica Lea Mayfield and Seth Avett. Not going to reignite an argument by saying which one I like better.
Kaleicinin sessizliginde dinlemeli bunu..
This cover isn't my thing but I think it's great for people to try their hand at Elliott's music.
Who cares what version you prefer, for christ's sake, put a thumb down if you need and walk away.
etiennesama In my humble oppinion, this is probably one of the best comments on UA-cam. I'll be sure to remember it. Thank you.
i colud love it if i dont know the original
what chords are she using__
T
I really like Agnes's and Madeleine's Peyroux's versions
Elliott Smith's better but her cover is really good. Can't imagine a better cover, good job!
This was a bit different...! :)
Gemma Styles look alike.
Did anyone else discover him when "Good Will hunting "was premiered in the cinema in 1997? 23 years ago! I have been a fan since then, and just released my own version of Between the Bars if you want to check it out! Hope you are all ok and keep safe!

türk varmı lo
and i thought Elliot's version was good, but this one is just sublime.
She is so much like Lana Del Rey 😘 to them both 👍🏻
This and Madonna's are the best covers.
Jesus, you should be banned from commenting on any future music videos.
haha, my love doesn't even drink. :/
If you like Agnes Obel, you might like:

It's ok, but the original is just perfection
