This purity ring cover is amazing. Since you like the song, listen to "SALEM - Better Off Alone (Atari Teenage Riot Remix)". Nice nostalgic and depressive vibes.
I think i heard it on a NOW cd or maybe a commercial in 99 or 2000 when I was around 12/13. and totally same here that 90's/early 2000's trance techno was my jam back at the end of high school in 2005. Along with metal and a bit of hip hop and everything. haha. Then there was like a Darude Remix of this song or some other song that got big. Then Sandstorm became a forever meme that wont die.
@@DD-ix3bm this first time i heard it was on the radio! It may have been a few years after it came out though, I was probably 11 at the time i first remember hearing the original song, but it definitely set an undertone for the type of music i listen to today. iconic!
The cover being note-by-note perfect but more modern stylistically combined with the authentic 90s choreography and wide open eye stare makes me feel like I'm 6 and hearing this for the first time again. Amazing job.
I heard it for the first time a week ago on spotify just shuffling my grimes purity ring hana crystle castles and sidewalks and skeletons playlist. and I was immediately taken with a "hey... wait a second..." while driving, and then it's an actually remake, not just a remix and I loved it.
This and "its a fine day" (miss jane) were the first first "rave" songs i heard in like 98 or 99. It was life changing. Now "edm" is mainstream its so crazy.
Can't believe Purity Ring had a fondness for this classic trance hit, so happy and surprised to hear this! As someone who loves classic trance (and Purity Ring) I'm so giddy, thank you. I always thought I heard some of that trance flavour in Begin Again & Stardew.
Funny how no one has mentioned the way she dances, when she does her air guitar.....the name of the album she is doing the cover song from is called “Who needs guitars anyway”. lol Clever girl, and great cover too.

@@sgt.pepper4362 Idk how this is relevant, but I was curious. I like the philosophy of immortality due no perception of unconsciousness. BUT the reincarnation stuff is wacky and the assumption that consciousness is somehow it's own discrete thing is unfounded.
The first time I heard the original as a kid it took me to a different and magical place, much like the first time I heard Fineshrine. So, thank you for this.
Love Megan James to my core, there's always been something about her effortless authenticity that I hold close. I've seen more parts of myself in her art than my own blood. From her moving into frame a few seconds in...to holding out her hand hand with teary eyes to the alien. There's a part of me that always feels less alone hearing her voice & seeing her face. Though she keeps a quiet public presence, through her lyrics and actions it's easy to tell that she cares for every soul that's ever been touched by her. She acknowledges that so beautifully not only here but in "heartsigh" as well. Crazy how tied we can feel artists, as if they're lifelines.
I find her dancing mesmerizing. To me it's an interpretive dance that speaks volumes. Thank you for this. This rendition has helped save me more than you will ever know
I dig it. It was interesting hearing some of the more modern EDM sounds included in this classic mega hit. The simplicity of Better Of Alone makes the success of this song even more incredible. It’s irresistible for some reason. ❤
This woman is absolutely Gorgeous....wow, my memory is forever impressed with her beauty. Awesome voice. I've known about the group since 2014 but I had never seen the lead singers face. Beyond beauty with a voice to go with. Happy New Year ever one. 2021
I've been a mega fan forever but only through vinyl and spotify, in like 6 years of listening this is the first time I've ever actually seen her. Whoever hated on that is dumb af. Normal girls are hot too. The fact that I didn't even know what she looked like just now even occurred to me and that's kind of amazing in itself since so much female fronted music is sexualized. She and Karin Andersson should start a u can't see me club ^_^
I think she’s just super cute and would definitely take her out for coffee or a nice meal. Even if nothing happened I would probably just enjoy her company. Yea I sound like a simp now. Shit.
What's really weird is that back in high-school (2003 or 2004) a kid in my school did a dance to the original song for a talent show, with another kid wearing an alien mask.
I can listen to purity ring all day & never get bored..Their songs just hit diffrent..Sometimes i find it impossible to sleep..I started listning to purity ring years ago..Headphones in feeling so relaxed & can just fall asleep easy..(Not in a bad way)..Then wake up with songs still playing..Just being in a good mood..& this cover is just magic..Still hoping one day for a purity ring & Björk song..That would be epic..
@@morganmatlock5467 I stopped dancing in public because I was a safety hazard. Now I'm mainly interested in the waltz, as grinding feels too much like hound behavior.
I don’t know why, but this gets better each time I watch it. I think this is my twelfth time across as many hours today. I love the dancing. It’s true bedroom-dancing. And it just makes me happy:
OMG!!! OMG!!! OMG!!! Purity Ring doing Better off Alone! You don't know how much I have wanted this. I have been a huge fan of Alice Deejay, and Purity Ring since I first heard Push & Pull. OMG, i'm crying. I love you Purity Ring. 😱😍😭
This song always makes me feel better after a break up, and I don't know why, but I just wanted to say thank you to everyone involved in making it. It helps me pick myself back up. love it.
Man, I didn't realize how much I needed a new Purity Ring song until I heard a new Purity Ring song. Still have my tickets for the covid-canceled show.
This girl has a hypnotic gaze and a strange alluring little girl adult woman singing/crooning voice. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE that she is doing her Art in a great Alternative dance band and not busy becoming the next Katy Perry or Taylor Swift. Every bit as talented, with a distinct and unique singing tone - GOOD FOR YOU PURITY RING!
Sometimes I feel we are so alike from my paintings, my journal entries, etc. Of course we are all completely unique, but it is beyond words of comforting to know maybe someone in the world may feel a little like you do. Much love💞 ps you covered one of my favorite songs when I was just 8 years old and that's amazing. Well done!
i love that she is doing the choreo from the original video. iconic
I just noticed that the other day when I decided to watch the original. Yeah, really cool that she did that.
It doesn't stop there, there's also the guy stranded in the desert is replaced with an alien lost in a human city, not to mention the bad greenscreen
I think she attended Alice DeeJay's freestyle dance classes. 😜
oh so it's a dance cover as well!
Glad you pointed this out. I'm used to the UK edit, which didn't feature the awful dancing.
This version of the song is basically how nostalgia feels
Its so far back in your head but is inviting you back
Megan’s awkward dancing and perpetual eye contact has me totally hypnotized. I’ve been watching this daily for a while now.
At first I thought she was acting very weird but by the end I fell in love

Do you like it when they make eye contact
Same
I grew up on the 90s/00s techno and this song was always a fav. Wouldn’t expect one of my favorite artists to cover it, this is soooooo good.
They covered Soulja Boy, so I knew this would be great.
I love this shit, what else is classics trance?
This purity ring cover is amazing. Since you like the song, listen to "SALEM - Better Off Alone (Atari Teenage Riot Remix)". Nice nostalgic and depressive vibes.

I dont get your comment. This is my first click on anything Purity Ring lol. good band in general or what is goin on?
@@Yoshi92 Because they got jams and this cover is entirely left field. It's a dope homage!
this is proof they need original material...
Thank you to everyone who said they've never heard the original...you've officially all made me feel extremely old!🤷♂️
right?? lol the original came out when i was 9 years old! I turned 30 this august! this is such a fresh reminder of my youth

@@SuperAshton10 The original of this song is from ''alice dj'' witch wa releaed in 1998 if that is what you mean.

LoL... I can feel you somehow

Fingers are crossed that it's followed with an Eiffel 65 cover. Especially with that video.
This just makes me happy. 90's kid right here all wrapped up in a nostalgia bow.
Just love her eyes. She looks right through you to your soul!
I have to watch this at least once a week
This cover means a lot to me. Thank you for dignifying a moment in music I’ve been ashamed to admit I liked and shaped who I am today.
Never be ashamed to be yourself
90s dance was the best music. Pure, love and energy. Peace love unity rave ✌

This song was meant for them! They made it feel ethereal! I love how they can make a song their own.
This was a wonderful surprise on a very average day
its just a mediocre cover
@@bluntedvegas702 k and?
What a throwback! 90s kids remember Alice Deejay.
HOW am I just finding this masterpiece.
She’s even doing the original choreo 😭
I can always use more Purity Ring in my life!

I am not surprised they liked this track because I do too, but i never expected a cover of it from them.
A few witch house groups have covered it. Check Salem's cover
A.G. Cook's version may be my favorite.
who doesn't have a fondness for this song tho?
This cover is trash. I’ll stick to the original. This sounds like one of those stupid kids bop covers but like, a non copyrighted version.
Both versions are fantastic but this one is just mesmerizing
Better Off Alone will never die and its influence is still strong.
It definitely isn't going anywhere, the impact is borderline unmatched.
@@LiMCRiMZ Its Completely Godlike.
@@LiMCRiMZ And Blue (Da Ba Dee)
This is literally the most random thing ever and to see Megan dance like that is WHAT?! LIKE SO GOOD!!!
Dude, you should see her live. It's awesome.
I'm thinking it's a parody of the original AliceDJ video
She's always been a good dancer
letch
until this video, I had a "serious" perception from Megan MDJJDJD nevermind
Funny how no one has mentioned the way she dances, when she does her air guitar.....the name of the album she is doing the cover song from is called “Who needs guitars anyway”. lol Clever girl, and great cover too.
Can't believe the original Dutch production is 22 years old.
Holy shit I’m the same age as the song
I know man, was just a kid when it came out...mad
Shows you how a great melody will last forever :)
@@IthinkitsaDanny me too
I was in the second grade when it came out!
Now I feel old. 😭 lol.
I don't see how this day could get any better when this classic Alice Deejay jam is covered by Purity Ring.
Alice Deejay would be proud.
They cover the rest of the album?

pandering for likes is sad.....this was a mediocre cover at best
@@bluntedvegas702 Its was good honestly.
Trance music will always have a special place in my heart. The original song brings back so many good memories and this cover is brilliant!
Nostalgia levels off the chart on this epic cover!!

I like it.
She killed this one in Denver last month...Such a dope show!!!
This song/video was random and out of nowhere. But wow, its what the world needed right now
I am in love with her voice
you're in love with autotune
Her eyes and dance skills are so hypnotizing and enchanting.
Never seen her dance like that before, wow... and that voice never gets old. Honestly, I am better off alone :) it's why I'm still alone.
Same here, better off alone and happy 😊
Better Off Alone influence is still.
Forever alone 💜
But you're here, connecting with others. So you're not REALLY alone are you?

Purity Ring nails both.
This is such a great cover . Keep coming back to this year after year.
I just bought tickets to go see them in December and I can only hope that she dances like this live. Must have watched this video a 100 times now.
