Thirdstory is known for their sublime vocal harmonies, but they are much more than a vocal group. Described by Pusha T as “unique, raw and fundamentally talented,” they are a collective of distinctly gifted singer-songwriters and performers. Thirdstory mixes pop songwriting and soulful singing with electronics and live instrumentation, an eclectic mix that also includes elements of folk guitar and hip hop production.
Elliott Skinner, Ben Lusher, and Richard Saunders formed Thirdstory in 2013 after a serendipitous meeting on New York's Lower East Side. Their crowning achievement thus far is their first EP, Searching, an emotionally expansive and impactful debut produced by Malay (whose recent work includes Frank Ocean's "Blonde").
Directed and produced by Wes Teshome
Cinematography by Chris O'Konski

7 YEARS LATER AND THIS IS STILL THE BEST COVER ALIVE!
I agree!
Indeed
Seriously!! ❤
Stil!!
The billie eilish one
I'm so sad they are no longer together😭 The harmonies are insane, they all have unique voices and they have great chemistry. Come back please Thirdstory🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I just found out they’re no longer together.
What happened that they disbanded?
I can't remember why they disbanded but Rich, the guy in the middle, is on TikTok.
please do 😢
I think it was creative differences.
THIS IS EASILY THE FRESHEST COVER IVE EVER HEARD.
+Alex Aiono IF YOU AND THIRDSTORY EVER DID A COLLAB, THAT WOULD EASILY BE THE FRESHEST VIDEO EVER.
agreed.
+Alex Aiono we're glad you like!
Thirdstory Collab?
+Alex Aiono Yes Please!!!!!!!!!
Harmonies that make you want to cry
Tekena Abere I did cry lol
Brooklyn Stallworth nothing but goosebumps the whole time. This was amazing.
I’m on the verge now as we speak. I wanted to get up and shout like a black baptist woman. This cover is out of control.
Definitely cried.
I cry
Oh and how about Elliot's range? Homeboy is doing bass at some points and also killing high notes....his talent has no boundaries. This group is ridiculous, I can't wait for some originals and their album.
Look up his Jazz piece for some national thing. Holy sheez
THE RANGE, THE ARRANGEMENT, EVERYTHING
Two and a half years later and I still can’t get enough.
I wish this trio hadn’t separated. They are so incredible together and I miss their music so much😭.
WHAT DO U EVEN KNOW ABOUT THESE THREE PART HARMONIES. killed it, char-grilled it, executed it, steamed it, murdered it, deep fried it. this video is damn near 2 years old and I am still as shook now as I was back then!!!!!!!
Dang, Elliott can do so much with his voice. So crazy.
this... THIS is music.
+Ashley Hess You're my music
Everything is music
+Dead poolmonkey Fact. People remain to confused within the fine print. Preference is a beautiful thing, it's what makes us human.
+Ashley Hess I love how they take other people's crap and make it into real music.
+Camden Johnson YES! You nailed it!
When he started singing in falsetto... OMGGGGG!
Olamide Olufemi omg
ELLIOT’S FALSETTO AND TONE IS INSANE
BEN’S LOW NOTES ARE FREAKING AMAZING
RICH’S RIFFS ARE HEAVENLY.
I AM ACTUALLY IN LOVE WITH THESE BEAUTIFUL TALENTED SOULS
Been over 5 years now, and am still coming back here..
Lord have mercy.
They're the best at covers. Reimagining songs that we love and giving it the perfect twist. Would love to see Thirdstory make a comeback and cover some songs like "When the Party's Over" and "Everything I Wanted," amongst many songs.
holy shit.... i've never seen anything like this and you guys just blew my mind
absolutely incredible fellas, seriously.
i truly aspire to reach your level of talent one day.
please continue touring and making music.
+Hamilton Troy Hayes (HAZE) Yes.
bruuhhhh Elliot's first note lowkey just made me cry 😭 so beautiful
Why?? Why are they so AMAZING?!?
How?? How can something be this WILDLY CREATIVE?!?
What?? What do we have to do to make them POST MORE?!?
+Misha Renee' Hey! We're really glad you like our video! You can help us post more videos over here: www.patreon.com/wearethirdstory
+Thirdstory You guys are BEYOND Amazing! I'm blown away, I actually went to iTunes to buy and realized, Nadia, this is a Cover, lol But nevertheless you guys are CREATIVELY AMAZING and have an AUTHENTIC and UNIQUE sound! #Love
Misha Renee' I
I'm not worthy to listen... I feel like I need to go change my life and then later come back and finish listen to this..
lol Agreed!
Lol. I wish they would see us worthy of another album. I love them.
I’m back. 8 years later. Realising I need this to be a better person. I could not do it on my own.
Can we agree they need to post more videos frequently cause sheesh ... Miss y'all
Like seriously
+rulysse92 very simple: QUALITY > QUANTITY.
YES
+Josiah Haiek I'm not saying to post every week but once a month or twice a month wouldn't hurt
yes SERIOUSLY
They are all ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. But Elliot .... i cry every time i hear his voice. This group out did every single group i have ever heard. 2024 && im 27... my brain has blown in the best way.
Hearing this gives me a natural high. Felt like I was floating the whole time. ❤️
SAMEEEEE
I wish they would get back together 😩 they are misseeeeddddddd
Hand down still the BEST cover of all time. 👌🏾
BEN JUST CAME IN WIT THAT SWAAGG LIKE "youuuuu" yassss!! ELLIOTT BOY U BETTER HIT THEM RUNS LIKE "belonnng" AND RICHLY RICH THAT VOICE ITS SO UNIQUELY SMOOTH LIKE "ohhh oh" I FXCKING LOVE YOU GUYS!
The guy on the end's range was RIDICULOUS!!! Oh my gosh. Best cover I have ever heard. It was so different and showed so much control of their voices. From the classical music to modern day music mix was great
This won't ever get old to me
I'm currently going through such a hard time in my life and listening to this is the only thing stopping the tears from rolling down my cheeks. Thank you.
And I’m coming through so much and i can’t go a day without listening to this
Hope life is treating you well now
How are you just going to take Drake's song and show him how to sing it????? Now I understand the lyrics! Absolutely beautiful.
Elliott's range is unreal!!! Had this on repeat for the past week. Thank you so much for this, genuinely, I actually feel honoured witnessing this. You guys!!
I'm pretty sure about 1000 of the views are mine. I cannot stop watching/listening to this cover!!! Incredible harmonies, and I love how they've re-worked the song.
2024 and i am still wondering how they made this sound so magical.. the harmonies are just crazyy!!!
Still here. This hits unlike anything else.
I would pay so much money to see them cover Billie Eilish’s ‘When the Party’s Over’.
Also I miss these covers 😭😭😭😭
I miss em too but I absolutely adore their original music so the trade off is worth it. But them covering that song would be perfectly epic.
They recently broke up :'((
ItsmeNikkieee omh really
Unreal
Whyyyy
Elliot started singing and my spine just vibrated.... this talent....OOOOH
Btw they are signed and that's why they don't have many vids now. they are making a album be ready guys
This didn’t age well 😭😭😭
this arrangement is just beyond beautiful, and the harmonies...goosebumps
Literally every second of this video is unique, interesting, and captures the listener. This arraignment is the kinda music we need in the music industry today. I can not stop listening and being touched by each section and little flair that is used. Truly beautiful.
still one of the best videos on this whole website, goodness gracious
Thirdstory's channel - where the best covers on UA-cam are made.
This still hit different then any cover I ever heard . 🔥
the illest cover....the timing....the patience. ..the chords. .the melody. bravo
This cover has me ROLLING on the floor! Do you know why? It is because their harmonies and intensity are so incredible, but they are singing the most FLUFF lyrics! LOL! The faces they are making while singing these lyrics, when they are CLEARLY focused on their BEAUTIFUL delivery of this song, is INCREDIBLE! It is like Josh Groban making the ABC song sound good! How do you keep a straight face when you are singing "..these days all I do is wonder if you're bending over backwards for something else...getting nasty for someone else..."? GREAT JOB!
this is the kind of singing that makes my throw my empty evian bottle and my right shoe at someone. beautiful
I don't understand how 132 people could dislike this. Their harmonies are so tight, they have it down, awesome range, great voices. Great job guys.
I love eliotts ohmwamwamwamwa part and also Rich and Ben's oowah oowah oowah part. You guys know what I mean right?
+Soul Munk I know exactly whatchu mean dude. I feel you.
It carries the song in an inexplicable way
for reals
Yes I gotchu 😂
I felt this 😂
These high notes are reaching for my soul
YES. FINALLY. Your covers are few and far in between, but when a video does drop it's always majestic AF.
8 years later and I still can’t get this cover out of my head!!
Literally the only version I will listen to. If I could give this a million likes I would! Well done boys!
Harmonizing with these people.. Is like hearing a bit of heaven
they've done it again... they've turned another song into an art form, unbelievable!
2024… anybody still listening 👀
Yup 😂
Forever more
Hell yes!
I'm with you lol
Heggs Yeah
My heart stopped seeing this in my notifications. I've been a fan since day one and you three get more phenomenal with each video. Please keep them coming.
Does anyone understand why this only has 200,234 views?! THIRDSTORY deserves billions of views! -That falsetto though.. :)
2:19 Jeeeez! I think I experienced a bit of love at first sight with Elliott while watching this masterpiece, seriously. Style and talent is through the roof with these guys, so so good
Whaaaat! This is the sickest cover of this song anyone could've possibly conjured! Soo scintillating and sort've haunting in a way..fresh!
GUYYYYYYYSSSSSSSS I have been waiting for a new upload and this surpassed my expectations. You guys are truly amazing.
+Nkosinathi Mavuso thank you 😊
Just found out that they announced in Feb 2019 that they are splitting up to pursue individual endeavors. I truly hate that I won't hear masterpieces like this. I'll just enjoy and appreciate what was created. I wish them the best! But man Im going to miss them.
HOW THE HELL DOES THIS VIDEO EVEN HAVE DISLIKES?!
Olivia Akolo good question
They just jealous .
Lmao lmao ,I’m blown back and away from seeing that to,,,,but some people don’t know sh$$ about music………😂😂😂😂

Big thank you to my sister and my nephew (her son) for putting me on to these talented men!!
God called. He wants his three angels back for supper and then he'll return you back for us to enjoy :)
The blonde voice sounds so velvety, brunette sounds soothing like clouds and glasses sounds like silk. They blend so well harmonies are just magical.
This makes no dag on sense for you three to be this talented! You all better sing the song, tell the story and take me on to church with your vocals! Superb fellas! Well Done!
WHY IS THIS NOT ON SPOTIFY OR APPLE MUSIC?????
adore this
I'm ADDICTED. Trying to stop pressing the replay button is soooo hard. Fantastic work gentlemen.
Still watching this in 2019 and this is STILL the best cover ive heard.
Gosh, I'm missing this trio big time. The harmonies and layering on this one were absolutely insane.
Angels, those are angels singing.
The harmony crazy much respect fellas
Only God knows how you guys thought of turning hotline bling into this. The creativity is amazing guys x
I don't think I've ever heard anything more solid
BUTTER THEYS SOUND LIKE THE PUREST SMOOTHEST VEGAN CRUELTY-FREE NON FAT MOVIE THEATRE POPCORN WARM CUPCAKES BUTTER I'VE EVER HEARD

thank you for opening for tori kelly it was a blessing, y'all actually made me tear up.
SAME!
They were amazing
They were amazing
Has Drake heard this yet??? He may reevaluate his choices if he does. Mr. Skinner, this collaboration is great place for your voice. Amazing trio. I hope you are making $$$. This should not be free. #BeautifulHarmony #SupportWithDollars
I think I speak for everyone in that we need to see more covers.
kbfasian fook the covers
As an artist you won't like to be remember as one that make the coolest imitation of someone else stuff.
What you bring to the table as yours matters
My mind is completely BLOWN!! real vocal talent - breath of fresh air.
Drake can take a fuckin nap. These kids made this song. Damn!!!
This cover gives me chills
one of the best arranged covers i've ever heard, tons of preparation and work invested in it, clearly. congrats
I watch this video multiple times a day. I can't stop.
This is a roller coaster of feels
the flow that these three put together is outstanding. it gives me the chills
The guy in black he kinda have Hozier vibes
Slogapower I’ve been thinking that too!!!
There isn't one of these songs that I would listen to the original over Third Story's covers. You guys are harmony and melody geniuses. Pretty sure the last 200 views on your channel have been my friends and I. We listen to these covers in the car, in the house-they are so stuck in my head and I could listen to your voices over and over again. This is real music.
Damn y'all bomb!! Let's collab!!
+andrewagarcia please do
+andrewagarcia please please please please
+andrewagarcia OMG YES PLEASE
Andrew!!!!!
+andrewagarcia YAAAAZ QUAAAAAAN!!
Nearly sprained my wrist giving this the hard props in the air it deserves.

This was just so Ethereal. Like I was floating somewhere. I'm a fan now. Officially subscribed.
it's the middle of the fucking night and I just discovered you guys.. you have made my summer.. soooo talented. I'm in shock.!
This is absolute *MAGIC* and oof that riff at 1:17 wow
put all other covers to shame...I'm sorry this is pure greatness😏👏👏👏
I love how clean you guys are. Please keep releasing covers, and some originals and what not. You guys are incredible
This is my millionth time listening to this and it still gives me chills y'all make this song so real lol
You guys don't just make covers, but you make art. This is a masterpiece.
