10 years later and this song just came into my head ... remember watching this music video 10 years ago!! loved it then, love it now, thank you Aluna and George
I really wish people would quit comparing this and the remix; it's honestly a matter of apples and oranges. If you like hype club bangers/dance music you'll like the remix better. If you like more laid-back, funky, chill electronic music, you'll like the original better. They both have their place. There's no purpose in going back and forth.
Crying real life tears this is literally me life’s theme song. There’s no way I can describe how this song makes me feel Alunnnna thank you for this gem
Did I say anything that judged the way she wears? And to be clear, I like her, I just thought that must be a cute little singer, I wasn't trying to offend anyone.
This is literally my first time hearing the original version. I fell in love with the remix in elementary school, but I didn't even think about if there could be an original version. I feel dumb right now.
Munya Fashu-Kanu I like the song and I like the video 😊 I'm an aspiring writer. Please give *Darling, please explain this..overestimated feeling* by ninanile a listen. It would mean a lot :-)
God I love the sluggish heavy bass sound in this. This version is way more interesting than the DJ Snake remix. They're both good, but I prefer this one
wow, she gorgeous, and the more i look the more i'm captivated by her looks. same like Florence Welch, it can't be helped their beauty transcends standards.
well, if you think so. We can agree to disagree, to each their own. I don't believe you transcend beauty standards or meet the par for beauty standards. but I hope you disagree with me on that merit or don't you do have to live with your reflection.
U-n-I Survive Because she can't. She's barely have any rhythm. You find the dance adorable and it is. But she's not the best dancer in the world. Many artists arent. Not a big deal. No amount of justifying her movements as "following the beat" will change that.
This version is so jumbled and doesn't sound very well put together, the best part about it is her voice which makes sense why it sounds so much better over a decent instrumental..
I like this version more because it's chill and dreamy as hell. For some reason it gives me chills thinking about driving around at midnight with this song playing.
It's weird seeing this comment from 7yrs ago, I thought this was recent, and I was like someone from now thinks those moves are good?, goes to show people a few years actually enjoyed effort
I'm some of the few people who prefer this version than dj snake's, this has different and original beats, dj snake's is good but not as this one, I'm one of the few people who listened to this since it just came out and loved it. 💞
Charlie Brenes i heard dj snake's first and i really liked it and i like his music, but when i heard this original one i loved it way more and this is my favorite
I'm glad I'm not alone hahaha :) I heard this two years ago I think and i liked it, then just few weeks ago I heard dj snake's and I was uhmmmmm???!! I was like: oh man, does it really had to has those beats to be succesful?? I mean I'm not against edm songs because I like them!!! But why people can't appreciate the original and by far better beats than dj snake's -_-"
im not saying in a judgmental way. I just thought it was some pop singer I've heard before on radio but I had never seen this girl ever. So yea but I like her. She seems cool!!!!!! Wish she would put out more music :)
letsroll so you're saying that you've never pictured what someone looks like when you have heard their music?... Please pull your head out of your ass and stop being so pompous. Thanks.
Even without water, this pool is refreshing! Your outfits are very beautiful, I particularly like the mixture black and sky blue! And this music is as enjoyable to listen to as her other songs. This voice takes us far away and relaxes us.
A Love you Aluna..... Quando ela subiu ao palco do Rock In Rio, muitos, ou quase todos pensaram que seria mais uma atração intermediária, mas gostei mais da Aluna que da atração principal da noite. Arrasou, e o Brasil ama essa coisa linda e talentosa. Aluna
Ikr! I JUST found out about this original because of UA-cam adding "remix" after DJ Snake when I tried searching for it! I definitely like the remix MUCH more, and that's even if you take out the vocals, cause I'm an huge electronic music fan, but the vocals were still pretty dang amazing. She did an amazing job. :]
I remember being so obsessed with this song in 2015, the remix was good butnI really loved the original. I remember thinking how ahead of its time it felt and it just felt like a vision of the future , the next generation of art. So funny to look back on from 2023
Omg I'm listening to this original for the first time today!! And I just can't take the remix outta my head 'cause I heard it before than this! Anyways this song is that one song which makes me vibe at any mood

Kray_Cray_Amy Is Crazy! Iggy doesn't sing. She raps. And she's horrible at it. Absolute trash. It doesn't matter how many people "know you". Billions of people know who Hitler was and he isn't exactly good.
Kray_Cray_Amy Is Crazy! Let's think about it this way, how many people know you, you're saying to be accepted you have to be known while I don't have a clue who you are, and being known doesn't make you a good person, like the guy who you tried arguing with saved, Hitler wasn't a good person but he is more known than iggy and iggy I feel is worst than Hitler because she has an influence on society that is ruining it while Hitler wanted to destroy the Jewish society and Noone agreed with him
Off-topic isn't necessarily bad in art. If all music videos related exactly to their respective songs verbatim, they would be predictable and therefore boring.
Elierbster That's part of it, though. Sometimes they just want to make an artsy video with all sorts of things going on. Some songs are meant just for people to have fun to without thinking so much, and that's what the music video is representing. It's a bunch of randomness that doesn't symbolize anything. Ignorance is bliss.
Mabel Takona Yeah, the way it sounds originally is so slow and odd. I kind of like it... But I like DJ Snake's version better. And the video for his version, too. DAT MONKEY FACE THO.
So i kept seeing their song "Best be believing" on an ad for Vogue and I liked it so i checked out their other music and i was like "HOLY SHIT, THEY'RE GREAT" and i fricken love their music!!!!!
I thought I simply had a huge crush on Aluna Francis based on seeing/hearing the media she's created as part of AlunaGeorge. Then I saw them live and now I'm totally in love :) She's very charismatic, sings incredibly well and powerfully live, and is even more beautiful and sexy in person.
Keep in mind there would be no remix if this masterpiece didn't exist first
Km
I was about to comment that
This masterpiece wouldn't exist if world war 1 didn't happen. Think about that.
‘Master piece’ 🤔
Remix is better though
i love the remix, but this version is so aesthetically pleasing
Mhm
I like this one better
I’m
This one sounds so much more chill after hearing the remix
Werd
This version is like a chill day party. The remix is at a nightclub.
Decaf is in the car. 🚗 🔥
this was ahead of its time 😭
FR IVE BEEN SAYING THISS
Way
the bass on here is legendary
People should make more beats like these
I like this version so much better. It's so chill and they're having fun and minding their own business. She's so pretty and has a unique voice.
She looks like a mix of Zendaya and Michelle Obama
the feel of this video is soo free
Yeahh
I'd rate it 98% free
Lukas Pihl lol
The remix is better than the original DJ snake & alunageorge - you know you like it

is it weird to say that i like this version better than the remix? o.O
Yes
Very weird
I love this better
Not weird at all, I definetly love what dj snake did to it
I definitely love what Dj Snake done to it, and the original version. 😊
The vibe is immaculate.
I like this song, but the one with dj snake is 10x better. 😍
Chloe J No
Yes 😍
Thank you 👏
Chloe J cuz the video has sex
No. I'm talking about the disgusting music video. I'm talking about the song itself. Thanks.
I love this SO MUCH
I didnt know Michelle Obama and Zendaya had a child together 😮
Omfg right!!!😂😂😂😂😂
Patrick Ewing? :-)
yaaas sooo true
True 😂she so pretty tho
Who Ever OMG THATS WHAT SHE LOOKED LIKE I KNEW IT WAS A MIX OF SOMEONE 😂😂😂😂
I like both versions
try tchami's remix, it's also great imo
I also
People who don’t like this version are just really into pop and don’t like the variance in the original but I love both
Same.
@@TheAquamarine4 you clearly have no idea what pop is do you
I actually liked the choreography. I don't understand why people are saying she can't dance o.O
I think people say that cuz she dances slower to follow the beat
U-n-I Survive Because she can't. She's barely have any rhythm. You find the dance adorable and it is. But she's not the best dancer in the world. Many artists arent. Not a big deal. No amount of justifying her movements as "following the beat" will change that.
U-n-I Survive She looks really awkward when she is "dancing"
Same here I think it's fine
she can't
I'm mad it took for dj snake to remix this for them to really buzz in america...
Tripsy Drogas same
This version is so jumbled and doesn't sound very well put together, the best part about it is her voice which makes sense why it sounds so much better over a decent instrumental..
Tripsy Drogas great reason to get mad...
Cause he simply made a good team with her dude, it's a good song for the original but I like the dj snake remix lol no need to be mad about music lmao
Stuntihn MX agree
This version is way sexier
Facts like I love this version in a way but idk which way lol thanks
+Missrubydoo2 yeah
+Missrubydoo2 i agree
+Missrubydoo2 i was just about to say the same
yea
Bringing back that unique 90s sound.
I had only heard( and loved) the remixes, but this is incredible
I like this version more because it's chill and dreamy as hell. For some reason it gives me chills thinking about driving around at midnight with this song playing.
Her dance moves from 1:40 to 2:05 are really cool and laid back. i'm really enjoying... and this comes from a guy who knows nothing about dancing
It's weird seeing this comment from 7yrs ago, I thought this was recent, and I was like someone from now thinks those moves are good?, goes to show people a few years actually enjoyed effort
This version has better ear candy and feels more authentic which is why I prefer to listen to this.
DJ Snake really brought life to this song!
I'm some of the few people who prefer this version than dj snake's, this has different and original beats, dj snake's is good but not as this one, I'm one of the few people who listened to this since it just came out and loved it. 💞

u girls are so judgmental thats why.
im not saying in a judgmental way. I just thought it was some pop singer I've heard before on radio but I had never seen this girl ever. So yea but I like her. She seems cool!!!!!! Wish she would put out more music :)

Ummm.....I pictured her VERY differently.....
Same lol.
Same....I thought she was blonde :p
Me too
White??
Me too
God she's gorgeous
Aluna looks so fluent and natural when she moves. Must have been lots of practice for this choreography
I hate and love nostalgia at the same time
I thought she was a tiny blonde white girl, I'm shook..

ME TOOOOOOO OMGGGGG
I know right me too
Well she’s tiny
That moment when Remix is more popular than the original song lol
Doesn't matter.
I like the remix better
Dj snake 😍
***** I disagree. In my case, I prefer the original song of "Crave You" to the remix.
that moment then the remix is better..
I liked this song before it was popular,or had a remix
lpsmusic me too!
Me three
Congrats you win nothing

Same. The other one is too much for me. This one's chill and they're having fun.
I like this one better and I heard DJ Snake first.
This Version ain't Bad, way more Laid back. This was a Club opener and Snake jus took it sped it up and turned it into a Club Banger.
Daniel Ramirez me too
+Daniel Ramirez Yea, it's so crazy. That's because America does shit like that. We are more edm and uk is more chill.
No dj snake made it a shit ton better

this version is sexier than the DJ snake rmx....but I like both....
Ohkhay
perfection description.

Some people want me to be heads or tails
I say no way, try again, another day
I should be happy, not tipping the scales
I just won't play letting my life get away
I'm no fool, no, I'm not a follower
I don't take things as they come
If they bring me down
Life can be cruel if you're a dreamer

Don't tell me what can't be done
You know you like it but it drives you insane
You know you like it but it drives you insane
You know you like it but you're scared of the shame
What you want, what you gonna do?
You know you like it but it drives you insane
Follow me cause you know that you wanna feel the same
You know you like it but it drives you insane
What you want, what you gonna do?
If you wanna train me like an animal
Better keep your eye on my every move
There's no need to be, so damn cruel
Baby you got nothing to prove
I'm no fool, no, I'm not a follower
I don't take things as they come
If they bring me down
Life can be cruel if you're a dreamer
I just wanna have some fun
Don't tell me what can't be done
You know you like it but it drives you insane
You know you like it but it drives you insane
You know you like it but you're scared of the shame
What you want, what you gonna do?
You know you like it but it drives you insane
Follow me cause you know that you wanna feel the same
You know you like it but it drives you insane
What you want, what you gonna do?
You know you like it but it drives you insane

You know you like it but it drives you insane
What you want, what you gonna do?
You're fantastic and l'm impressed.
Her voice is insane ❤️ you Aluna ♥️
She’s so gorgeous
Who actually loved this song before the remix came out? Because this song has been out for a good while.
Not me I found out about it 5 years ago
Yes.
The chorus just does something to you, when you listen to this in the middle of the night.
How are people saying dj snakes is better when it literally still has Alunas voice
Good music and beat!
Can we get a behind the scenes video of them all dancing? It was lowkey psychedelic
Love the original song the most :)
I love the bass on 2:48.
+Andrew cervantes same
This original is... DELICIOUS
Timeless
Love This still to this day
the remix sounds better.... Who else agrees?? 🙋
😂
🙋
Which? There are countless. :P I personally prefer Tchami's mix over the others.
🙌
I like the remix with dj snake 😁
I agree
What happened to original music video? The one with all the Alunas dancing? It's disappeared off UA-cam and I can't find it anywhere else. :(
I don't know why but she reminds me of Francine from Arthur
😭😭😭😭😭😭 holy shitt

So true lol
😂😂😂
Wow xD
I think I'm in love with her...
a man?
Holly from dance moms??!
Im bot the only one like foreal thoo😂😂😂 ayways cant wait till nia and kendalls music vid come out

Dj Snake is good at remixing but when it comes to making a music video he is pretty off topic
I agree but DJ Snake isn't the one who normally chooses what his music video is like he'd get a say but not much more.
Off-topic isn't necessarily bad in art. If all music videos related exactly to their respective songs verbatim, they would be predictable and therefore boring.
+Allen Nguyen oh ok
+Allen Nguyen but by off topic with DJ Snake I mean like, super-duper-ultra-mega-ly Miles, light years away from what the song means

Some songs are meant just for people to have fun to without thinking so much, and that's what the music video is representing. It's a bunch of randomness that doesn't symbolize anything.

And 1:55 😍
why can't there be more music videos of Aluna AND George together?
Tamia Fynn I know! He's freaking adorable
He apparently has a little social anxiety and there have been a lot of mean stuff said about him by radio DJs and in the UA-cam comments sections etc
That. Makes me so mad.
Me too!
Who is George
Her dance so magical
this is so much better than the one outplayed on radio. So good love it! Thank you AlunaGeorge!
She kinda looks like Michelle Obama to me
That's what I thought but a younger version
😂😂
oh yeah hahahahhah

2024 anyone?
Yasssss
Mais oui
A) they are from England. B) if this was the one played on the radio all day you'd like this version more
This version is much better. Snakes Version is just some generic trap mix lol
***** Someone finally says it.
so many negative comments. she's beautiful and this song is really good.
When I was a teenager I heard that song. How I miss my teenage years.
She looks like Nia Mom from Dance Moms.
omg yes I thought I was the only one
Exactly like her just younger
Yep
Holly
exactly
This is art
People kept thinking she was white because of the Dj Snake remix. It's like, there are black British people too.They're not just white.
Charmer Duchateau yeah not everyone is white
Ikr? xD take me for instance- I'm a black Australian, I have the accent too~
