I love what he did with this. Beyoncé is obviously an icon and I think it speaks to both of their talents that he was able to stylize her lyrics to the point that it doesn’t sound like the same song at all, but it still hits like the original.
Ezra Koenig from Vampire Weekend (with Diplo) actually made a demo using the hook from Maps and then it eventually got to Beyonce. They're both also credited as writers!
I am not a fan of beyonce myself, and I love holy holy and put off listening to this for months because I was afraid it would just sound like Beyoncé, but damn I love this! It sounds like a holy holy original
Being a massive Bey fan I was so nervous for this but I'm so pleasantly surprised !! Great choice for a cover will definitely check out some originals from you guys 🐝🍋
really loving this m8 keep it up. you can usually tell from the first 41-43 seconds wether or not a song will be good but i loved it from the 16th second onwards. bacon fetus out.

Scrolling through your call list I don't wanna lose my pride, but I'mma fuck me up a bitch Know that I kept it sexy, you know I kept it fun There's something that I'm missing, maybe my head for one What's worse, lookin' jealous or crazy? Jealous or crazy?

I don't know man, I just hate it? The only times I think it might be possible for me to enjoy it are when it veers weakly in the direction of the original. I don't hear what everyone else is hearing. I think I might be able to appreciate them more if they hadn't done a cover-- like if they had just made up their own damn lyrics! I feel like they just took B's authentic lyrics, pulled the soul out of them, and inserted them into a completely different lounge-y song with none of the fire it deserves. And not in a smart, ironic, Cake's "I Will Survive" kind of way. Just in a "this is barely a cover" kind of "why would you do that?" way. But good covers are tough. Or I'm a harsh critic. Either way, to each their own. I feel you guys are all off your rockers. ;)
Heard this live on Triple J, somehow liked it but not sure about the gentle voice of the vocal. Today found the original version, first couple of lines into verse, decided nah, I like this cover better.
THIS FEELS LIKE A 90S INDIE MOVIE WITH INCREDIBLE BANDS ON THE SOUNDTRACK WOW
This is still my all time favourite like a version
Alot of covers can't or aren't justified , this seriously has to be or should be highly rated. Totally slayed it!!!..
Holy Holy are so underrated.
Under rated? Probably not. Under exposed, definitely!
Everyone should go and subscribe to their channel.
how this doesnt have a billion views already is beyond me. absolute silk
So smooth
They nailed it. I hope Beyoncé sees the beauty in this. Just wow..
How does it feel to make Beyoncé happy? Because congratulations, this is LIFE!
I love what he did with this. Beyoncé is obviously an icon and I think it speaks to both of their talents that he was able to stylize her lyrics to the point that it doesn’t sound like the same song at all, but it still hits like the original.
in love with his voice, love the cover
PUT THIS ON SPOTIFY X1000!
Just gonna throw this out there........ best Like a Version of the year so far.
Says everyone for every like a version ever
Ya joking shoulda been higher
Trav Don't even....
Lmfao you guys started it.
better than beyonce. screw that pre elected subject matter.
It's giving me the Yeah Yeah Yeah's Maps vibes 🔥
haha I just realized Karen O is one of the lyricist of this song-- look up the composers on Beyonce wiki and you'll see her name
Ezra Koenig from Vampire Weekend (with Diplo) actually made a demo using the hook from Maps and then it eventually got to Beyonce. They're both also credited as writers!
Came in with low expectations, left with the best LAV of the year.
The song is fire, I like all the covers I’ve heard so far
Holy Holy bringing the perfect Friday morning vibes 👌🏼🤘🏼
Ok when is this banger gonna be added to Spotify???? I love this 💘
Love this.... Its so different to Beyoncé... They really gave it their own touch. Good job guys!!
I am not a fan of beyonce myself, and I love holy holy and put off listening to this for months because I was afraid it would just sound like Beyoncé, but damn I love this! It sounds like a holy holy original
Omg!! Love This version!!
Being a massive Bey fan I was so nervous for this but I'm so pleasantly surprised !! Great choice for a cover will definitely check out some originals from you guys 🐝🍋
Brianna Rodriguez check out Sentimental and Monday from them, great song 😊
"December" is just great. That whole album will change your musical tastes upside down.
I really like the jumper that the singer is wearing. I think I'd like one in green....maybe red....
In the groove and out of the park this one fly's...impressive!
I love this version!
I'm in love
by far my favourite like a version
Wow! I expected them to kill the song but they KILLED it 🔥
I am so pleasantly surprised!!!
I'm getting Santigold vibes from this cover
Loving this! Never disappointed with anything Holy Holy does, great band
SXI96 I saw them in a music store gig, and they are honestly the nicest guys ever
Lucky you :) I'd enjoy having a beer with these guys
I'd estimate that I've watched this >50 times. Great cover.
OMG so perfect ! this is best cover ever !!! wow... no words...
This is just such a good cover.
Respect!!! Totally made that your own!! 💖💖
That man s voice !! Just amused with that band since their love will tear us apart cover , waiting for more covers .
'Waiting for more covers'. Maybe listen to their actual songs....
They own this song, bloody hell what a pearler
Holy holy have really grown in the past years, wouldn’t expect to see them on here
I really love Declan's version.. but this is just in another level!! now i love them both :D
Not enough views on this its honestly so amazing aye
really loving this m8 keep it up. you can usually tell from the first 41-43 seconds wether or not a song will be good but i loved it from the 16th second onwards. bacon fetus out.
Hold up, they don't love you like I love you
Slow down, they don't love you like I love you
Back up, they don't love you like I love you
Step down, they don't love you like I love you
Can't you see there's no other man above you?
What a wicked way to treat the girl that loves you
Hold up, they don't love you like I love you
Oh, down, they don't love you like I love you
Something don't feel right, because it ain't right
Especially comin' up after midnight
I smell your secrets, and I'm not too perfect
To ever feel this worthless
How did it come down to this? Scrolling through your call list
I don't wanna lose my pride, but I'mma fuck me up a bitch
Know that I kept it sexy, you know I kept it fun
There's something that I'm missing, maybe my head for one
What's worse, lookin' jealous or crazy?
Jealous or crazy?
Or like being walked all over lately
Walked all over lately
I'd rather be crazy
Hold up, they don't love you like I love you
Slow down, they don't love you like I love you
Back up, they don't love you like I love you
Step down, they don't love you like I love you
Can't you see there's no other man above you?
What a wicked way to treat the girl that loves you
Hold up, they don't love you like I love you
Slow down, they don't love you like I love you
Let's imagine for a moment that you never made a name for yourself
Or mastered wealth, they had you labeled as a king
Never made it out the cage, still out there movin' in them streets
Never had the baddest woman in the game up in your sheets
Would they be down to ride? No!
They used to hide from you, lie to you
But y'all know we were made for each other
So I find you and hold you down
Me sing se
Hold up, they don't love you like I love you
Slow down, they don't love you like I love you
Back up, they don't love you like I love you
Step down, they don't love you like I love you
Can't you see there's no other man above you?
What a wicked way to treat the girl that loves you
Hold up, they don't love you like I love you
Slow down, they don't love you like I love you
Hey, this such a shame
You let this good love go to waste
I always keep the top tier, five star
Backseat lovin' in the car
Like make that wood, like make that wood
Holly like a boulevard
What's worse, lookin' jealous or crazy?
Jealous and crazy?
Or like being walked all over lately
Walked all over lately
I'd rather be crazy
Hold up, they don't love you like I love you
Slow down, they don't love you like I love you
Back up, they don't love you like I love you
Step down, they don't love you like I love you
Can't you see there's no other man above you?
What a wicked way to treat the girl that loves you
Hold up, they don't love you like I love you
Oh, down, they don't love you like I love you
I hop up out my bed and get my swag on
I look in the mirror, say: Wassup?
Wassup? Wassup? Wassup?
I hop up out my bed and get my swag on

Wassup? Wassup? Wassup?
Bey would be proud (':
It’s 2019 and I still can’t download this.

Forgot how bloody good this is 🙌🏼
Thoroughly enjoyed this!!
This is so good!!!!

This was very well done. Good job.
