I have chills this is one of my absolute favourite songs I cannot believe he actually covered this, how good is voice sounds with it and how well he covered it. Seriously I am in love with this!!
His voice just matches this song so well! Absolutely stunning.
I come back and watch this because it's a beautiful cover, but also, try and think of any young artists today that would pick THIS song to cover. And can sing it the way he does. That's the first thing that blew me away was that he chose this song. The result is magic.
All I can say is wow wow wow. What a gem of a song for him to tackle. And tackle it he does.... as only a handsome young Romeo could. He is getting better at nuance in his singing. His voice is strong and clear. Beautiful Mr Bugg. Impressed I am.
This is actually very old (Oct. 2012) but yes.. great.
New to me. What gives? How did I miss it? Glad I found it. Osip....have you seen the movie?
S Kirk I saw a Romeo and Juliet-movie but not this one (not Leonardo DiCaprio's either) but yes, to see good Shakespeare performances is always worthwhile. As for missing something: as far as I am aware my list 'Jake Bugg' is complete (except for the songs Jake co-performed with an early band). If I miss anything, do let me know. The list 'Jake Bugg - covers' is not complete. As far as I can see, it omits: Donovan (Sunny Goodge Street); Nick Drake (Hazey Jane II); John Lennon (So This Is Christmas); Big Joe Williams (Baby Please Don’t Go); Beatles (Norwegian Wood); Don Gibson (I Can’t Stop Loving You); Robert Johnson (Me and the Devil Blues); Donovan (Summer Day Reflection); Everly Brothers (Cathy’s Clown); Michael Kiwanuka (Worry Walks Beside Me, played together with him). Do you see any others?
Jakes early band is called The Rubiks. Just found some good footage. All the others you listed are here. Not sure about Robert Johnson's Me and the Devil Blues. The Romeo and Juliet theme was written by Nino Rota....the movie is excellent. Had no idea Jake recorded this in 2012.
S Kirk Would be interested in The Rubiks footage. I know of some but not on UA-cam. Robert Johnson is only partly available - the last minute of Guitar Moves Episode 7- but amazing (as usual).
he has stolen my heart, thanks for that jake
That mic does his voice so much justice!! Just a sweet 60's sound!
Jake Bugg + Shakespeare, true Englishmen, bless 'em.
so pure
his vocals are breath taking
What is a youth?
Impetuous fire.
What is a maid?
Ice and desire.
The world wags on
A rose will bloom,
it then will fade
So does a youth.
So does the fairest maid.
What is a youth?
Impetuous fire.
What is a maid?
Ice and desire.
The world wags on
A rose will bloom,
it then will fade
So does a youth.
So does the fairest maid.
Comes a time when one sweet smile
Has its season for awhile
Then Love's in love with me
Some may think only to marry.
Others will tease and tarry.
Mine is the very best parry,
Cupid he rules us all.
Caper the caper; sing me the song
Death will come soon to hush us along
Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall,
Love is a task and it never will pall.
Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall,
Cupid he rules us all.
gebet2000 thanks to weite the lyrics.
This is beautiful! I love his voice!
Can't put in to words how much I love him, such a talent.

So happy to hear Jake Bugg cover this song since I love it. Good job too.
Perfection! Love how he sings these songs! Such a breath of fresh air, we salute you mr bugg!
His voice is so precious

this is beautiful! it sounds even better than it did on the radio!! love jake bugg
I adore this! This is one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite movies :)
I cannot like this enough. This was one of my favorites growing up and I always replayed this scene in the movie. I wish this version was for sale. I would totally purchase it.
He's amazing~ *w*
This brings memories of freshman year Honors English though...
His voice is really amazing
Jake is a gift from God 💖
THANK YOU FOR SHARING ❤❤

Literally so in love with this kid. Jake is a talent.

that was amazing I love the song and him,
Awesome !!! Nice one Jake !!
this is so beautiful
my favourite cover EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!
tamasha wick Did you see my earlier reply and the reference to Jake's exquisite cover of Cathy's Song? Cheers!
Osip P. which reply and do you mean cathys clown.
tamasha wick My reply keeps disappearing, perhaps because I included a link. What I wanted to say is: you are so right, this is a phantastic cover. But with Jake it is hard to choose and the one at nr. 67 of my playlist 'Jake Bugg complete' (at 50.25 of that video) would also be a candidate for my favourite cover of all times. Do you know it? And what do you think of it? I am very curious!
Osip P. i dont know the song but i like it and the other songs he sang were also good
tamasha wick Great to hear! Cheers..
wow what beautiful singing. hes got a sureal voice. its amazing
Our generation needed this

Sometimes you're instantly dumfounded by a performance. I like what he does with this song.
Brilliant.

¿Qué película es? C:
Great talent

❤
Is anybody listening to this masterpiece in December 2019?
Romeo and Juliet.....nice cover !
Close to the OG big ups
fucking hell yea, I will buy one of those mics and sound as good as him, if would have to play a recording of jake singing this though.
A mic is a mic he would sound the same with any mic, even one from the pound shop.
Shure SM7B. Lovable in all it's pureness :)
fucking brilliant
whoa ! romeo ...
Cool
bardo príncipe lindo
Jake, is there a full-length version of the song? What a unique vocal - I'd love to hear this with Lute as well. Glad I found the video, thanks.
What a voice lol
wow, he can literally sing anything.
He will be soon enough
Noice!
Doesn't get much better
Omg, I love this film! And I don't particularly like Shakespeare OR the story of Romeo and Juliet. I think it's incredible that he's chosen to cover this tune. He sings it beautifully.
It sound so medieval!
Pretty good , I’m a Mexican who likes English folklore
If he didn’t sing like that his vocals are actually really good I’d like this cover
Cupid he rules us all •
Saw him live with The Killers he spoke and then sang, Mindfucked but was epic
hahaha! close! nice!
omg really you're lucky
Sweeet
fucking amazing, such a good singer, you can only imagine what Harry Styles from One D woudl sound like trying to sing that
Romeo and Juliet is now cool to me
1:29 Heaven.
Like a young 'Donovan'.
my shit ,
Jake could have been a medieval bard in great demand with the nobility.
Anyone know the name of the mic he's using?
right now he's sleeping in my hotel
A true blue minstrel.
18
Shakespeare should of had jake in the globe, 400 years late, amazing
no it's not the mic, the mic stand is what makes all the different, can turn a karaoke singer in to an opera star.
he looks like kirsten dunst!!
a rose will blom
what i mean to say is "fucking good"
WOW. Super fantastic voice. We've got BOB DYLAN back, and BETTER.
Jake Bugg makes Shakespeare so much better
Self educated.I don't think we can even imagine what he will come up with in a year.Jake at his age is writing stuff as deep as Dylan &Donovan did at 18..I am hoping he starts getting political.It would warm Pete Seeger's heart to see that there is someone to carry on the troubadour tradition
Cute.
sound like the guy that sang "JoHanna" in sweeny todd
