I just listened to The Motels version of this song, a live rendition. Holy cow. Angel Olsen nails it entirely. Very beautiful. I've listened to it 3 times in a row today already.
Anika I have and will do almost anything for Total Control but I don't think I could bare to sell my Soul again instead I'll bare it with my music and Lyrics . Checkout madboy darker days on youtube and if you have the Soul you'll get me :) Namasta, peace nd Love ❤ Mark aka madboy ❤🙏👌xxx
The perfection.... specially the drums performance. I can't stop listening it every week since years.... thanks Angel and the band! You mean a lot for me
This cover... The perfection in every instrument. Perfect improvisation? I will say it till the fucking end of the world... Thanks Angel and musicians..
Como es posible que no haya implementado este Cover en su EP "Aisles"? Esta Muy Bien hecho este cover, merece estar en Plataformas y ser mas reconocido este cover que nada ❤ Algo de admirarse es que Angel cada que hace Un Cover, lo interpreta tan bien que parece que ella escribio la Canción!!! Amo a esta Mujer ❤
I was ready to rubbish this before I had even heard it as I loved The Motels and Martha and as it first started I thought nah! But as it went on it really started to grow on me and by the time the outro started I did not want it to finish. Great alternative take on a great song. I'm impressed.
It is becoming a classic song, but mainly because of that fantastic sax solo. Every cover version has to live up to that. I think they come pretty close.
Such a great song already in the original version ... Darn, that Jizzmaster looks boss. Such a great song already in the original version ... Angel Olsen always makes me cry a lot :´c
Angela I fine rendition of this clasic by The Motels the waver in ur voice is something I'll hold onto its beautiful but what else I couldn't help noticing was the pain in yer eyes and more poignantly ur Soul .I hope ur getting help with that my friend you deserve the peace that only you can achieve. I also suffered with this for life but if you checkout madboy darker days on here I think you'll get that through my Lyrics but f*** maybe it's all part of The universal magic thing. Namasta sweetheart peace nd Love Mark aka madboy ❤🙏x
I wonder how many people realize just how hard this song must be to sing, like Martha sung it anyways. Angel did very good. Like Dan said, just missing the cigs and sax.
maybe I just need to get my mind outta the gutter (or to be familiar with the original song), but the way she sings "sell my-y soul," I totally misheard it as "sell my assh**e" 😳😂
I like Angel Olsen’s original music enough but have not yet been into any of her covers (and it seems she does a lot of covers)…feels like karaoke, unlike e.g. when Amy Lee sings covers. Angel sounds quite literally like a sheep in the chorus trying to imitate Martha Davis. I have to watch Martha Davis’ Sept. 2021 Burbank live performance of this song to cleanse from this.
Sorry but this is not a patch on the original. Nice attempt but too forced and no real depth of feeling to Martha's original but you can't expect it to be anywhere near the original songwriters depth of feeling.
I love that smile at 2:35 sounded crap at first but got better as it went on, loved it in the end Love Angel Olsen but no one can do this song like Martha
Too much reverb on her voice. Strange arrangement. Weird vibe and I felt like they ‘got lost ‘ but kept going because it was live. The motels doing it live is way better. The Sax solo!!An opportunity missed I reckon.
First Fleetwood Mac's _'Dreams'_ and now The Motels' _'Total Control'?_ I'm all for artists interpreting songs in their own way but, if said cover is going to come at the expense of the emotion and passion in the original version? No go. If the passion and soul is going to be replaced by soulless and mediocre mimicry, sorry but, then there is no point in covering classics like these two songs...

Except Martha doesn't sound like a goat with a shaky vocals when she says I'd sell my soul
@@Baydzone 😂
@@Baydzone that's the best part, the shaky goat vocals
So great. It’s amazing that anyone, anywhere has an appreciation for this song.

viva Martha.
I can't stop listening to this cover, her voice makes it so beautiful and unique
The perfection.... specially the drums performance. I can't stop listening it every week since years.... thanks Angel and the band! You mean a lot for me
the sound is incredible.Angel Olsen an almighty sound, thank you Kexp for sharing this performance, my favourite in this moment of the year.
I do play drums and this drummer performance is so perfect... sincere congratulations.
That second half when the guitars really take off...oh man. Amazing.
NOT BEST PERFORMANCE POSSIBLE... THANKS, THANKS, THANKS... AND BILLION THANKS. YOU MADE MY LIFE BETTER. GIANT HUGS FROM SPAIN... YOUR GREAT
This cover... The perfection in every instrument. Perfect improvisation? I will say it till the fucking end of the world... Thanks Angel and musicians..
I've actually discovered this song in a french movie from 2009 'Les derniers jours du monde', meaning 'the last days of the world'..
Fantastic! Thanks KEXP.
a wonderful rendering
Angel is simply amazing! What an artist!!!
Sublime perfection.

awsome well done that was amazing
Sooooo good. Brilliant.
Pure art.....
I love that smile at 2:35
who did it?
She's incredible in so many ways
Strangely I thought that ruined the tone a bit.
BEAUTIFUL & AWESOME ... Big THANKS & LOVE from SERBIA ... 8)

what a great great cover
I was ready to rubbish this before I had even heard it as I loved The Motels and Martha and as it first started I thought nah! But as it went on it really started to grow on me and by the time the outro started I did not want it to finish. Great alternative take on a great song. I'm impressed.
still. Martha.
This is a perfect song for her to cover.
This outro on Total Control keeps giving.
Awesome song!
She's an Angel alright; voice straight from heaven 😆
That jam session starting at 3 minutes very well might be my favorite piece of music ever. I've probably listened to it 500 times.
A very cool version of the classic Motels song
beautiful
How did I not know about this?!
Makes you feel like flying
Love those bangs.
Such a great song already in the original version ...
Darn, that Jizzmaster looks boss.
in love...
PERFECT drum groove, flow, whatever....
It is becoming a classic song, but mainly because of that fantastic sax solo. Every cover version has to live up to that. I think they come pretty close.
The jam at the end makes up for no sax solo
holy fuck she covered my favorite song to mope around to
Like the original was some kind of fucking dance banger?
It's a cover and a damn good one. If you want the sax solo go to the original.
Love Angel Olsen but no one can do this song like Martha
What a finish
Such a great song already in the original version ...
I love this so much.
Angel Music!
Awsome
Wouah ! Yes, just Wouah !!!
i love it
never gets passsed
Angel Olsen always makes me cry a lot :´c
PERFECT drum groove, flow, whatever....
hmmm...i';m getting a 80's Pat Benatar ballad type vibe from this.
she is out of tune LOL
it's cool that she covered this song, but nothing will beat out the motels version.
These comments are always so useless
Cannot wait for Martha Davis to do this at the Queen in De next week!
Perfection!! Thank you all very much.
Such a great song already in the original version ...
Darn, that Jizzmaster looks boss.
Such a great song already in the original version ...
Angel Olsen always makes me cry a lot :´c
🥰🥰🥰🥰😋😋😋
Haters gonna hate, this is fucking awesome x
I will dissent and say this is no patch on the original. Not even close.
She's got the fastest scared and concerned switch to total control look on the scene
They get it
Such a great song already in the original version ...
Darn, that Jizzmaster looks boss.
Such a great song already in the original version ...
sounded crap at first but got better as it went on, loved it in the end
I like the original The Motels, meanwhile this one also a very total control, great!
Amazing, but could have used a few more burning cigarettes

I agree. It's a surprise cover and totally ambitious. This is sooo well done. aahhhhhh. Total bliss
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Old fat troll ladies throwing shade at Angel Olsen just makes her look better.
Roger Chapman's vocal technique?
those bangs are a visual "fuck you" to all genders, races, and creeds
It's the "I'm 5, and I found the scissors" haircut.
Sleep well tonite
maybe I just need to get my mind outta the gutter (or to be familiar with the original song), but the way she sings "sell my-y soul," I totally misheard it as "sell my assh**e" 😳😂

What's with the gargling . Is she brushing her teeth at the same time
this song is about me
minha esposa é top
hmmm...i';m getting a 80's Pat Benatar ballad type vibe from this.
The Motels.. Martha Davis. Not Pat Benatar.
Sorry but this is not a patch on the original. Nice attempt but too forced and no real depth of feeling to Martha's original but you can't expect it to be anywhere near the original songwriters depth of feeling.
This cover made me drunk on impact.
Great choice for a cover! Good to see the band not wearing those stupid powder blue suits.
It's pretty good, except she's trying too hard to over do Marth's style and it comes off like she's choking on something. Sorry
What's up with the bleating?
Fantastic but should have brought the vocals back in at the end. 9,5/10😂
easy song to sing, original always sound way better. The eighties wasn't easy to thrive your voice. I will always love the motel.
I love that smile at 2:35
sounded crap at first but got better as it went on, loved it in the end
Love Angel Olsen but no one can do this song like Martha
Sorry but sounds like Yoko ono.. sounds like everyone's a little flat or not tuned or something
fekin elll- looming quaver avalanche anyone??......nearly lost control there...
Fab.
i think she's a bit too stressed, her voice sounds a bit weird
She's trying too hard
Mr Robot darkness..
Too much reverb on her voice. Strange arrangement. Weird vibe and I felt like they ‘got lost ‘ but kept going because it was live. The motels doing it live is way better. The Sax solo!!An opportunity missed I reckon.
Not a fan of the vibrato - it spoils what would be a great cover.
Word for word just as good as Martha, but like JC said, lacks the great sax solo...
cough bullshit cough
No. Way too much overacting on the warble .
Too much vibrato. Not enough total control.
I think that, it was her intention
Better than the Motels.
Ron Jones you know that!
Great cover.... I miss the sax solo though....
Too show and the vocals a bit out of tune
It’s ok, kind of flat to be honest. And I don’t like the extra falsetto she’s throwing in.
I'd se ellll lll sounds like a fucking goat 😂😂😂
That vibrato she keeps doing annoys the shit out of me
le chant manque de justesse
wtf was this a elmer fudd imitation?
She's an Angel alright; voice straight from heaven 😆
Darn, that Jizzmaster looks boss.
Amazing, but could have used a few more burning cigarettes
no, dejá nomas. con ese ánimo no das.

River Of Blacklights THIS!!!!
The singing is too trembling.
