Ok, yes, this was definitely worth the wait. Leave it to John to take a light-hearted fluff piece and give it the real twist in the gut.
The only question I have is, "John, where did you find such a marvelous tailor?"
I'm interested too. Those outfits are 👌
Ikr. I kinda envy whoever designed those clothes. They gotta be gettin paid well.
I'd never heard of Lenka. So I saw this premiere announcement and at whim, decided to go listen to the original. My only thought was that the song would be a perfect one for The Cog is Dead to cover.
Why did it take so long for me to learn you covered one of my favorite songs! Amazing job! I love the villainous yet bombastic tone you guys took!
Trouble will find you no mater where you go, oh oh
No Matter if you're fast no matter if you're slow, oh oh
The eye of the storm and the cry in the morn, oh oh
Your fine for a while but then start to loose control
He's there in the dark
He's there in my heart
He waits in the winds
He's gotta play a part
Trouble is a friend
Yeah trouble is a friend of mine. oh oh
Trouble is a friend but trouble is a foe, oh oh
And no matter what I feed him he always seems to grow, oh oh
He sees what I see and he knows what I know, oh oh
So don't forget as you ease on down the road
So don't be alarmed if he takes you by the arm
I won't let him win, but I'm a sucker for his charm
Trouble is a friend
Yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh
Oh how I hate the way he makes me feel
And how I try to make him leave, I try
Oh Oh I try
This took me to dark times of primary school! This was a massive hit back then and I'm so surprised anybody remembers that song :D
This song is so powerful. I can't stop feeling and singing it with all my will. Specially the chorus
Absolutely fantastic rendition of the song 👏
I said this in the live chat, but just re-iterating it in the main chat to boost engagement, great job as always!
OMG! I LOVE THIS SONG.....AND THIS HAPPENS! by a new band I LOVE TOO!
Your pointing out the obvious
1. obviously this song is fantastic, hence the cover
2. obviously this band is incredible, hence why their fans are extremely devoted and why everyone should listen to their songs
Damn that tempo slow down was perfect holy cow that was a great version of Trouble is a Friend by Lenka
I can almost see the captain of an airship pirate ship singing this a dancing over the deck of his ship...
Now you mention it...
Villain or hero? I'm thinking scoundrel hero, or super charismatic villain who gets merch at hot topic.
I've had this stuck in my head for DAYS!!! Great job, Captain!
Not sure I'm digging the premiere announcements. Every time I come to youtube, it tells me about something that I can't watch for another 20 hours. Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing this video, but it releases at like 4 AM my time, so I'm still not going to be able to watch it when everyone else does.
It was only 70 minutes for me when I saw it, but I was still busy doing other stuff and missed it by 7 minutes :P
I saw it and though youtube wasn't looking at my timezone so assumed was tomorrow... oh well 10min late coulda been worse. Funny thing was on UA-cam/Discord at the time
Agreed
This feels like it could be a sequel to Never Go Into the Woods. Olivia's all grown up with an, interesting, companion.
MindPrince good sir, and/or sirette, I like your theory.
@@eldritchgod4308 nag she became a servant then got saved by the metal boy who gave her his heart in anger the metal Boys father sent a clockwork dragon to avenge his son wich she then tamed
Wow this is so nice! Kudos!
what a great voice.. big range and it just pulls you in
I just found this a couple days ago and I've had it on repeat ever since. My absolute favorite song at the moment.
WHY HAVE I NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THIS EXISTING?
Grand stuff, good sir! 10/10. I'mma go ahead and give you a follow.
love your music i have a cog is dead t shirt showing up this week
God i love all the covers that you've done and cant wait to like hear a lot of different cover. And i just add this on spotify. Hell yes~
That is such a great voice of yours, I'm really rockin' in hard!
another amazing song... just what i expected
OMG! this version is awesome!!
Glorious. I needed to hear this today.
Another great cover!
That sounded really good! And I think the transitions were very well done
Love this song 😍
FABULOUS WONDEROUS !!!
Really nice cover! I can feel the trouble is not your friend and you are looking for the trouble lol
Amazing!!
I knew this this would be great!!!
Great to see new merch.
Wow! love it, thanks
I was listening to another video at 1.25x and accidentally watched this at the same speed. Definitely recommend. Awesome cover at both normal and 1.25x
This hyped me up for my Tempest callback, thank you!
Great cover.. good job
There's a special place in hell for those who dislike this amazing band uwu
*aggressiveness intensifies*
Owo
Love this video
Loved It!
Another great song. I can't wait until the new album is available on Amazon.
Thanks! I have no idea why it's taking so long, it should have already been available there. Things are still taking longer due to the pandemic. Hopefully it'll be on Amazon soon.
This used to be my favourite song:)
Something About This Cover Makes Me Wonder What A Collaboration Between The Cog Is Dead & Legs Nose Robinson Would Sound Like (Love This Cover BTW)
These videos dont get enough views for the quality
nice
Jeyaahh..from Spotify to UA-cam
This kinda slaps. Surprised I haven't heard this one.
I hadn't heard of Lenka before this, but I must say it was a wonderful cover. 👍😁 As always, good on you John for the great music you make. Just one question ..... when do we get a steampunk pirate story cover of Sammy Hagar's "Heavy Metal?"
binggo... 👍 i like this style. succes for you friend😍❤
me again.. fucking brilliant..
eu gostei muito dessa música
I like this rock version
Is John a baritone? And if he is, that's quite the range/timbre to sound like two or three different people in the same song.
WWDitS in which they all go to a karaoke bar and Guillermo sings this with Nandor in mind ❤️
The best cover shet
Id love to see a Voltaire collab with a song like this.
That would be fun! I'm currently collaborating with Voltaire doing backing vocals on his upcoming Black Labyrinth album.
@@thecogisdead Thats amazing, i cant wait for it :)
nice video bro
saya sangat mencintai lenka
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
I really like the surfer guitar sound
💥💥💥💥
It feels like it’s got a touch of “Red Right Hand” by Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds! Still waiting for your work to be added to the independent movies during/after the strike!
Even though it sounds completely different, I'm always reminded of Voltaire's Never.
I guess it's just the idea of a personification of one's problems being there to physically plague them, one being named Trouble and the other being named The Devil. Who knows, maybe they're even the same guy.
Berkelas banget 👍🏻
Sang this when I was a teen at my schools talent show
Not my favorite of Lenka's songs, but in top ten. Can't wait for this.
Good job idol
OMG
Good
Next the show Lenka
PERGHHHH!!! Bapak siaaakkk!!! hahaha
Mantap
Rammstein meets Lenka
This is an awesome cover! Would you ever consider doing a cover of Where Evil Grows by The Poppy Family?
Thanks! Wow, I've never heard that song, but just checked it out. Thanks for the suggestion!
@@thecogisdead You're welcome, glad you liked it!
Better than original ❤
Version karaoke plise😢
alguém sabe me dizer como ouvir essa música com tradução em português?
I love it lmao
It seems like words the same but the meaning is completely different
2 months and only 1 dislike
Inpressive
Lenka is sugar coating her son. Sweet yet dark.
Hey, I was wondering if you have a merch store? I'd love to support you!
Thanks so much! There's lots of merch available at teespring.com/stores/thecogisdead
Funny
Cannot stop listening to this. Between this and Bad Guy, you definitely need to cover/improve more songs sung by really bored-spunding girls.
*sounding
Who tf put dislike here
Interesting, after seeing this I went amd watched the original. It's good but makes me impatient at the same time. Might just be me but seems almost annoyingly slow. Gonna try at 1.25 speed.
EDIT: 1.75 speed would be more enjoyable if didn't distort it unbearablely.
Best of luck mate. Might check out those cool T-shirts
I have to say I like your version better. Yours has far more atmosphere
Misfits voice
Warlocks be like
Sounds like something peaky blinders would use
İ cant believe i was the 667'th like
I thought they r gonna say SHE instead of HE...in Male version
7 people is going to hell
I see John Sprocket is in a gay relationship now, and his better half is hiding in the dark.
Noobb
AMAZING! AS ALWAYS!
But I wish, you could turn all He pronouns into a She.
Making this a male POV. To original female POV
Gay energy
horrible! It is a slander for Lenka's music!!
