What makes it better is how he sings it with such passion as if if it's his own song. I'm a die hard MGMT fan but man they just play to play. Just stand there and play their instruments even though you sound amazing you gotta be amazing and go beyond like this guy.
This song was part of an album that MGMT wasn't really invested in, due to label pressures... I've seen them live 3 times and they've put on a great show. They just don't personally enjoy their songs off Oracular Spectacular - especially the hits. So it's great to see another artist take one of those songs and add passion to it, but to say MGMT doesn't play passionately across the board, is silly.
When he says MGMT at the end is just so Scottish, can imagine sitting smoking a few joints with him at 3am in a house party having a pure laugh and a sing song. Superb big man, great cover
holy shit this is the greatest thing i've heard in a while. the power in his voice makes me feel every emotion all at once. I know this song is satire, but the passion and longing in his voice makes it something special :)
Ha-ha! Show me just one of the "heaps of people" who sings like Paolo! The guy is unique with his powerful voice and passion! I understand the feelings of old MGMT fans, but sorry for me this version is better!
Just wow ....... the emotion in his voice, you can tell he feels the lyrics are how he is feeling every word. He may want a quiet life now but mate like you said go and have some fun !!!!!
I don't joking, I've never seen this. This is absolutely an incredible live concert performance and to sing with an amazing passion. I felt like I was there. Thank you Mr. Nutini for makes good feel us with your art. Greetings from Turkey. 🙂👍👋🙋🎶
Hi, yes certainly it is my opinion, also the original is very nice - only that i knew first the version of Paolo, so the other version sounds a little strange for me. But i prefer his version with the trumpets - saw him live in conzerts for three times - heis also my favorite. I love young talented people. Greetings from Austria.
the best indie rock cover you will ever see
Easily 🙌🙌
"This is our decision to live fast and die young. We've got the vision, now let's have some fun" love that lyric
Yeahhh
Paolo Nutini really means it.
Unemployed Philosopher yeah i thought too
He really does❤
3/8/24 still the best cover around 🔥
Might be the best cover artist ever... while simultaneously being a ridiculously good songwriter in his own right

Nonsense

What a performance. That's what you call owning the stage.
Well, I wasn't expecting to find this.
No pretending here, just sheer Passion from Paolo.
The passion in his voice.....
When he says MGMT at the end is just so Scottish, can imagine sitting smoking a few joints with him at 3am in a house party having a pure laugh and a sing song. Superb big man, great cover
every time I listen just wow
Singing with passion and intensity makes all the difference. You can't dislike this version anymore.
Never met or seen someone sing with so much passion love this dude so much.
Paolo... What a performance... Absolute passion, owned the stage and that voice....
That's the best voice i've heard in years
My day just turned beautiful.
me too brother... me too
holy shit this is the greatest thing i've heard in a while. the power in his voice makes me feel every emotion all at once. I know this song is satire, but the passion and longing in his voice makes it something special :)
I'm probably responsible for about 75% of the views on this one. What an epic festival moment that was
This is one of the best covers I've ever seen, so much passion!!! Listen to it everyday!!1
Who is here in 2019 , I will be here in 2020. The best wake up song and cover on UA-cam 😍
I’ve been here for a long time this never gets old
2024 my friend
This era was really apart of the last truly fun times to go to a music festival
I think this was the last music festival I went to. Never even heard of the guy before I watched him play but I really enjoyed his whole set.
Ha-ha! Show me just one of the "heaps of people" who sings like Paolo! The guy is unique with his powerful voice and passion! I understand the feelings of old MGMT fans, but sorry for me this version is better!
You can be assured of sincerity when Paolo Nutini does it. What a cover
First time any version of this song gave me chills
the dude can sing
2012 what a time that was
This is one of my favorite covers. Full stop.
absolutely killed it. Outstanding live.
Still listening to this. Best video on youtube. Paolo is the man
2024 still
The best cover I have ever heard
Hello, best cover I've ever heard in my entire life.
About a million times better than the original. Sung with zest, what a talent this guy is
Best cover ever ❤
Such a talented guy, this cover and his cover of don’t let me down are honestly two of my favourite covers of all time ❣️
Should check out 'down in Mexico' if you've no seen it
Also wake up by arcade fire
I think he is a genius.

no way!! he did it! I'm in heaven right now :> why do i see it only now ;o
This is actually one incredible cover 👌🏼👏
incredibly wonderful performance !!! makes me feel sooo good :) he sings with his heart !!
He could really fit an Baba O'reilly mashup in there
He seems like 'love reign o'er me' type of guy, he should cover that one for sure
I know exactly the part of the song you have in mind, heard it as I read your comment. :D
Paolo Nutini che "coverizza" 'Time To Pretend" dei Mitici MGMT.
Penso di avere un orgasmo. 💚
🖤
Magnific voice and song Paolo. Kiki
Just wow ....... the emotion in his voice, you can tell he feels the lyrics are how he is feeling every word. He may want a quiet life now but mate like you said go and have some fun !!!!!
He’s got a sick ass voice
Genuinely better than the original, especially live. Outstanding man
wow! fantastic!
Absolutely Brilliant Cover
Once in a generation talent.
DEFINITELY THE BEST VERSION OF THIS SONG, FUKIN AWESOMEEEEE
It took this cover to get me to appreciate the original. This has a pulse.
Better than the original track! trumpets were an excellent idea.
I don't joking, I've never seen this. This is absolutely an incredible live concert performance and to sing with an amazing passion. I felt like I was there. Thank you Mr. Nutini for makes good feel us with your art. Greetings from Turkey. 🙂👍👋🙋🎶
I was there
Great interpretation of a great song :)
Brilliant cover :D
Jesus, that was good
Paolo Nutini puts more feeling into this song than MGMT does themselves nowadays
Ikr
it feels so good when one of your favourite artists is covering other one of your favourite artists !
0.50 hahah, wee man`s right out his tree.. far too many funky cigarettes. Nailed it tho! :D
"Wee man's right out of his tree". Best way u could describe him & funniest. .! couldn't get any better..
Really good cover.
Missing Paolo. Where are you? 😢
How stoned can you be and stills sing like a young god?
Best singer to come out of bonnie Scotland 😉😉😉😉
looks like he's had a shot of smack but great live singer well done great great cover
Yeah looks like he shot some heroin without moving to paris first.
whats he up to now in 2018 i wanna see him so badly
Roxxane D'troyt no joke someone just posted a video of Paolo singing ‘Your Song’ by Elton John at a a karaoke in Paisley
all heart. love this.
Best cover of a song out there!
Paolo Epic as usual.......... Magic!!!
def one of the most enjoyable covers!
and God created the heavens and the earth and everything and then he put Paolo in it and then his creation was complete!
Beautiful cover.
I seen him do this cover in Belfast about 5 years ago. was epic
He enjoyed the hell out of that!
1:18 that little kid's reaction is just priceless... hahah
how cute! xD
Great Video - thanks, what a great performance from Paolo, saw him in Tarvisio/Italy - he s always the best.
Oor Paolo..brillante! 👏🏻
This is a good cover! I love live music.
First Class! Far superior to the original band's version. "Love" this boy!
AMAZING COVER 👏💙
LOVE!

@@iandakid672 both mate 😂
love paolo nutini
All those hands in the air free from damned cell phones 😮
Haha the little boy freaking out at the beginning is all of us
Glad I seen him live. He did not disappoint
the best day of my life...
All time fav😍
Honestly, you could have fooled me, labelled this as a Bruce Springsteen, and claimed it was the 'original' version. Dude SELLS it.
Thanks to Lewis Capaldi for this discovery
His version of Time to pretend is much more better than the original from MGMT - he is quiet outstanding.
fabuleux !
This one is about him!.......😃
😍 P E R F E C T I O N 😍

But i prefer his version with the trumpets - saw him live in conzerts for three times - heis also my favorite. I love young talented people. Greetings from Austria.
original song is so youthful and cool, I also love Paolo's version. p.s. mgmt can't even get closer to paolo when it comes to live.
So much better than the original Paulo!
great!!!!!!!!!!
Better than the original! Better singing and love that trumpet!!
2021?
im in love!
