I have listened to hundreds of covers of this song, but IMO, this one is BY FAR the best. Vocals is absolute next level. Such absolute brilliance. Wow.
Ugh....have you heard cory Taylor live in London? This fantastic don't get me wrong. But cory in my opinion captures the heart break from personal experience due to his age. You can feel the pain in his voice.
It doesn’t matter how long I know London Grammar how often I listened to it… Her voice is that of an angel. It just stops me in my tracks, makes my head empty and my eyes tear up and for the duration of the song there is beauty, calm and peace… gorgeous!
@@ian38018a in fact that i never heard anybody talkin about the band itself aside her voice of singing it seems too totally underrate the band as collective.
I remember when Chris Isaak first released "Wicked Game", how I was nailed to the floor by the haunting sound that made me immediately think of the late Roy Orbison. This performance is powerful as the vocal richness and perfectly accompanied guitar had me floating and should make Chris' smile as well.
Baelor Chris Isaak and about a milion other performers and bands did it as well. HIM's version is pretty famous one. You should check it out, it definitely IS a cover.
IKR? When she started singing I jumped in my seat! I usually focus in on the guitar (being a half-assed, talentless hack with the six strings) but not this time because this young lady can SANG!
This is godlike. Everything on this one is just perfect. I love how sensitive the guitar guy plays it. And then perfect piano, perfect voice. Absolutely incredible performance!
If you want godlike then this isn’t even close. Listen to Diana Ankudinova (15 years old) singing Wicked Game ua-cam.com/video/7jv-DQnf2UY/v-deo.html and then for the deepest female voice that you will ever hear in your life ua-cam.com/video/-KgD666fRtY/v-deo.html and finally to blow your mind ua-cam.com/video/-KgD666fRtY/v-deo.html
There aren't much songs which make the world stop turning for some minutes and you just feel beauty and peace. Wicked Game with her voice is one of these few. So underrated this band!!
Its when she goes up an octave that makes my hair stand on end .. What a wicked way to sing reaches me deep within What a cover of that song I cant help but sing along
@@kulio1214 Lol that's just rude... Let the man rhyme, Jim! Dude, seriously, dude... Try and make your own hymn It ain't simple But y'all gotta try Better make your first rhyme Before your first wrinkle
I really love this cover. Probably listened to their recorded version of it 50 times. I love the vocals, the guitar, it’s all so nice. They made it their own but didn’t junk it up. Just clean thoughtful beautiful
What a magical voice she as Hanna Reid has, one of my favourite singers out there to this day , there isn’t many singing vocals can match her vocals for me ❤
I'm listening all songs played by london grammar on repeat, beautiful sound with so much depth and richnes in the sound. thanks for making this beautiful cover. I love the sound of this band !
When I clicked on this I thought it would be another so-so cover of this song like all the other ones. Little did I know I was clicking on one of the best things I've ever heard.
This is the first song I played in my first car. I used to drive on highways listening to this song. so i have a very emotional connection with this song. didn't know the song name until now. like this comment when you see it so it will remind me to come here and listen to it again and enjoy my memories.
Another great example of a song where the cover version is at least as good as the original. Her voice mixed with the gentle guitar and the well dosed keys are fantastic. Beautiful....
so amazingly beautiful !!!!! I love this Chris Isaak song and she is performing it like an angel - thank you so much that you are sharing your talent with us.
This is one of my all-time favorite songs and Chris Isaak sings it so beautifully, though Hannah's is my favorite cover. There is something about her voice that resonates with my soul and I wish this went so much longer.
William Krupar I sympathize, I too possess a loathsome list of heartfelt songs that leave me both regretfully and aptly reminded of loves keen sting. Loathsome, yet maddeningly appropriate for the circumstances. Such is the power of music, more adept at describing life than mere words alone. Take care of your heart, to some hurting another’s is but an acceptable casualty.
One of my favorite songs of all time. This is hands down the best cover I've ever heard of it. It's actually the only cover that's truly doing justice for this incredible song.
She sings as if she's swimming in the music and the melody. I don't know why but the world "elegance" popped in my mind the first time I heard her sing. I also love how subtle and subdued the guitar and keyboard are, as if to make her voice resonate even more. Fantastic cover from London Grammar!
One of those golden songs that indefiably make you stop whatever you're doing... and this one proceeds to send you to that one place deep within your soul, where loss and sadness mix with a quiet blessing of thankfulness, thankfulness that whatever it was that made you feel this way, happened at all.
years passed, my life has changed in a very very positive way. in that time of change this song helped me passing through a lot. thank you chris isaac, thank you london grammar.
All I can say is Wow. This has long been one of my favorite songs and this rendition is chilling, wrenching, intoxicating. Hannah Reid has one of the most captivating voices of anyone I've ever heard... her deep lush lows and angelic heart piercing high notes are unlike any other artist. I love the whole band... Dot Major and Dan Rothman are incredible and humble musicians who create such minimal yet deep music in which Hannah's almost haunting voice can soar.
![London Grammar - Wasting My Young Years [Official Video]](/img/n.gif)
In 2024 I'm still returning to listen to this. It's haunting isn't it.
Just came here after listening to Chris Issac version. Both brilliant.
Check out HIM and Tenacious D too 😊🙏🏼
Me too !
its literally the worst caver
@@vitus6644 best cover
I have to say IMO the greatest cover version of this song ever! Stunning....
Have you heard In Flames version? Very different, but I like it a lot, it is even more haunting in my opinion.
Her voice is stunning and perfect for this song.
I have listened to hundreds of covers of this song, but IMO, this one is BY FAR the best. Vocals is absolute next level. Such absolute brilliance. Wow.
Oh yes London Grammar … really underrated
The Ursine Vulpine cover of this is also amazing. Different, but still spine-tingling
Its a beautiful version
It's brilliant and emotional and almost perfect. The only negative thing is having "The Sun" logo in the top right!
Ugh....have you heard cory Taylor live in London? This fantastic don't get me wrong. But cory in my opinion captures the heart break from personal experience due to his age. You can feel the pain in his voice.

Her voice is like diving into a cool, crystal clear lake on a hot sunny day. Beautiful X
So is her face
Best исполнение!

Like today !
I keep coming back to this version for years and years. Its perfection to express exactly how i felt at a certain point. Pure art.
ACCIDENTALLY JUST FOUND IT IN MY "MIX"
2:20 just magic...
What takes you to that point , what is that point , what a wicked thing to do .
Same here buddy
Decent
My god that voice. I literally went cold and my arms and legs got goose pimples. Awesome version. Fantastic.
Her voice is fantastic
THIS BAND. Totally, totally underated. Pure, sublime and REAL. Pure class.

@@hansuwejurgen2999 I think that says more about you, than about London Grammar.
One of the best female voices, I' ve ever heard. Absolutly great!
More to do with the song than her voice
@@terrytownsend5583 have you heard their other songs though? Her voice is absolutely amazing.
also one of the best songs of all time.. what a combo!
probably just cus its masculine bro
She sounds a little bit like Nico on Velvet Underground. I agree, she's captivating.
Chris Isaak made one of the best songs to exist.
ARC 👌
Fantastic absolutely fantastic !!!!
Cris isaac to me was a true peoples natural singer excellent very enjoyable
Indeed 👀
Seriously? That's a super gay song.
Gets you in the feels everytime. Hannah's voice is hands down THE best. Goosebumps
This is honestly THE BEST cover I’ve ever heard of this song. I always come back to it.

This performance is powerful as the vocal richness and perfectly accompanied guitar had me floating and should make Chris' smile as well.
you know i've never thought about it, but i totally get the Orbison sound.
Chris Isaak has recorded Roy Orbison songs as he is a fan of the great man, and his voice is very close to the magic that Orbison achieved.
@@bobinscotland You'd also enjoy Teddy Thompson! 👍💖 ua-cam.com/video/l1NPCAxPlFE/v-deo.html
@@kazd3256 His version of Tonight Will Be Fine is so good! ua-cam.com/video/0m_hIE-kQ7Y/v-deo.html
I honesly think Hannah has one of the most beautiful voices ever. Could easily get lost listening to her sing.
Why isn't this on Spotify?
Cause despite the annoyance of adverts youtube subjects us too. They do have the best remixes and live sesh. Hands down 🎉😊🎉 much love x
That’s what I’m sayin!!
Because it's a cover...
Y using Spotify when there is yt music
It’s called UA-cam to mp3…why are you paying for music lol
Incredibly well done cover. The singer's voice is stunning.
it's not a cover
Chris Isaak originally did the song.

London Grammar really have their own sound. Her voice is hauntingly beautiful. Such a fantastic band.
Parts of them are Jewish.
Her talking voice is so soft.. her singing voice is so powerful, and both are so smooth
For 6 years, the guitar has me coming back again and again. Then you hear her voice❤️❤️❤️ all of it is amazong
I'd love to hear her sing Bruce Springsteen - I'm on fire.
she's amazing!
Good call! I second that!
quality comment.
sure i agree
+A girl is no one - Bruce Springsteen's song I'm on fire is sooo simple but beautiful - one of my favs
A girl is no one check out the staves they do an I'm on fire cover and it's great
She’s perfect in low and high notes. She’s one of the greatest singer nowadays
Bright future ahead of her for sure, that woman can sing 👌
@@gowlaz by "bright future",you mean ruined by the producers with autotune and forced sexappeal?I wish no bright future for her.
This!!!! She’s the best.
Search Haley Reinhart if you want to see a truly world-class female vocalist.
She and Florence Welsh
This is godlike. Everything on this one is just perfect. I love how sensitive the guitar guy plays it. And then perfect piano, perfect voice. Absolutely incredible performance!
Yes, the guitarist plays in such a restrained yet effective way in all of their music.
Yes Yes Yes... every aspect you talked about... yes
Yesss!!

What a Voice, so beautiful and melancholic, love the way she used her emotions to underline the singing!
Utterly brilliant and proper band. Hannah’s vocal range defies gravity. Beautiful. Thank you London Grammar
one of the greatest covers of this song I've ever heard
whilst not necessarily paying attention to her bone structure, incredible
I like that one too ! :)

Corey taylor did it better
This song has so many great covers. This version and Parra for Cuva’s are my favorites. Such an amazing song thanks to Chris Issac.
#sensational
Where have London Grammar gone, such a talent which seems to have fallen off the earth, come back soon we all miss you
There aren't much songs which make the world stop turning for some minutes and you just feel beauty and peace. Wicked Game with her voice is one of these few. So underrated this band!!
There is great talent here....brilliant performance....
An absolute staple for any lover of music.
This band is just gorgeous, melodic and ethereal.
Hope to see them live one day
Check Beach House, if you dont know them yet =)
They are brilliant live
So good. That guitarist is casually shredding it, they are all superb
3-18-2023 and I still find myself coming back to this video.. Her voice speaks to your soul.
Excellent understated lead guitar. Lovely piano and her harmonizing her own voice around 2 mins was incredible. Great stuff
Its when she goes up an octave that makes my hair stand on end .. What a wicked way to sing
reaches me deep within
What a cover of that song
I cant help but sing along

First found this in 2014. It's been 10 years, and this song still defines a part of me. Forever indebted to Chris Isaak and London Grammar!
This needs released on Spotify.
Every once in a while I come back here to listen to this just to make sure that this is the best cover of this song. Ever. Yeah, it is.
Nykolas Reded Search Charlotte Cardin’s cover of wicked game, equally as good
Daisy gray???
H.I.M. Razorblade Romance
The Ursine Vulpine version with Annaca is pretty smoking as well.
Couldn't agree more.
I absolutely adore Hannah Reid's voice... and it is matched by the musicianship of the others. Brilliant.
Another great example of a song where the cover version is at least as good as the original. Her voice mixed with the gentle guitar and the well dosed keys are fantastic. Beautiful....

Hannah's voice is pure liquid gold. Gosh I love this woman and London Grammar as a whole.

Love coming back to this cover. Such a beautiful voice for this song.
She is wonderful. That voice and she is so beautiful!
Absolutely mind blowing.. Her voice is heavenly.. I will never stop listening to London Grammer ♥
i love hearing females with deep voices
Everything about this band, just absolute class...
The plate reverb is amazing, her voice is sobering.
Amazing

chris Isaac sounds shit compared to london grammer
Listen the version of "HIM" (band)
Waiting Around to Die by The Be Good Tanyas is an exceptional cover of Townes Van Zandt original. I think it’s a better cover of a song than this
I am 76 W and I agree with you , such feeling .. A
So good to listen to this again. Brings back old memories. Some people leave long lasting impressions in our lives. Fighting old feelings.
Breathtaking vocals, haunting back track. Fantastic cover.
I so can’t get enough of this song and her beautiful voice.
Simply stunning.

That transition from a deep voice into a high-pitched one is just fantastic, well done! Amazing cover!
