    I'm so grateful that Achilles Come Down has been given more airplay. It's never played live (probably due to its length). The combo of Tones & I unique voice, the choir and strings really do this song justice.

    I appreciate how different this is from the original in terms of arrangement but it's still very much in the spirit of the original. I always love a Like A Version with strings and/or choir and this is one of my favourite songs of all time. As far as I'm concerned, Tones and I has my respect now.

    such a wonderful performance of a incredible song, this and the original deserve more recognition

    Had to stop what I was doing and watch this with 100% concentration. I've got chills, i've got goose bumps, my eyes are sensing onions hearing that crescendo...Tones' singing brought home Dave's battles with 'Achilles' beautifully. I'm sure the Gang will love it and this is contender for best of 2022/23 LaV!

    Was quite surprised at this performance but the use of electronic drums and that wailing synth felt so out of place. The strings would have made for such a better sound in my opinion. She made it her own in the end I guess which is great to see from a LAV. Would love to see Dave and Tom do this with the same resources she had.

    I am hopelessly addicted to those chimes at 3:52. Never heard another cover of this song do that and I still have chills every time I hear it. Are those microtones?! I know it's something between A# and G, but it doesn't sound like those chimes are tuned to semitones... I don't understand it, but it's incredible. A# - F## - F##? Maybe A# - Abb - F##???

    lyrics:
    Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, come down
    Won't you get up off, get up off the roof?
    You're scaring us and all of us, some of us love you
    Achilles, it's not much but there's proof
    You crazy-assed cosmonaut, remember your virtue
    Redemption lies plainly in truth
    Just humor us, Achilles, Achilles, come down
    Won't you get up off, get up off the roof?
    Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, come down
    Won't you get up off, get up off the roof?
    The self is not so weightless, nor whole and unbroken
    Remember the pact of our youth
    Where you go, I'm going, so jump and I'm jumping
    Since there is no me without you
    Soldier on, Achilles, Achilles, come down
    Won't you get up off, get up off the roof?
    Loathe the way they light candles in Rome
    But love the sweet air of the votives
    Hurt and grieve but don't suffer alone
    Engage with the pain as a motive
    Today, of all days, see
    How the most dangerous thing is to love
    How you will heal and you'll rise above
    Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, jump now
    You are absent of cause or excuse
    So self-indulgent and self-referential
    No audience could ever want you
    You crave the applause yet hate the attention
    Then miss it, your act is a ruse
    It is empty, Achilles, so end it all now
    It's a pointless resistance for you
    Achilles, Achilles, just put down the bottle
    Don't listen to what you've consumed
    It's chaos, confusion and wholly unworthy
    Of feeding and it's wholly untrue
    You may feel no purpose nor a point for existing
    It's all just conjecture and gloom
    And there may not be meaning, so find one and seize it
    Do not waste yourself on this roof
    Hear those bells ring deep in the soul
    Chiming away for a moment
    Feel your breath course frankly below
    And see life as a worthy opponent
    The most dangerous thing is to love (8x)
    You want the acclaim, the mother of mothers
    (it's not worth it, Achilles)
    More poignant than fame or the taste of another
    (don't listen, Achilles)
    But be real and just jump, you dense motherfucker
    (you're worth more, Achilles)
    You will not be more than a rat in the gutter
    (so much more than a rat)
    You want my opinion, my opinion you've got
    (no one asked your opinion)
    You asked for my counsel, I gave you my thoughts
    (no one asked for your thoughts)
    Be done with this now and jump off the roof
    (be done with this now and get off the roof)
    Can you hear me, Achilles? I'm talking to you
    I'm talking to you
    I'm talking to you
    I'm talking to you
