I grew up during the 80s and of course Blinding Lights brings Take On Me and Young Turks to my mind, but it also brings lots of memories and songs which used same beat, bass line, melody and riffs. This song is a great homage to that music, no doubt about it. But we all should stop criticizing and start enjoying and praising these guys, who play just terrifically well! I hope I hear more of them in the not so distant future, as I’m a 52 years old man who doesn’t know how long we will survive this hard times.
BREMDEY “Maniac” by Michael Sambello, “Runaway” by Bon Jovi, “Working by The Weekend” by Loverboy, “Safety Dance” by Men Without Hats, and even some songs by U2, Saga, Icycle Works and The Psychedelic Furs. And lots more!
dudes I hope you don't mind but I am playing this on a tiny rural community radio station in NKZN South Africa this Saturday on my lockedown Saterday's show.....love your shtuff
You're so right. The first time that I've heard the song "Blinding lights" I sincerely believed that it was a new single by A-HA. Great -great performance. Love it...
Better than no Aha at all. Maybe the band can try with a bit more Aha. Both solid tunes but at this point Im thinking Weeknd has the edge as the better song.
I'll go further, its simply an average reworking of a tremendous song that itself channelled "i ran" and our TDK90 era with brilliant results. There are tons of bands doing this and channelling Chris Martin whilst doing so, at times. Boring.
I stumbled here as I was trying to put my finger on exactly which song blinding lights reminded me of. But I wanted to comment how awesome these performers sound. Hope you fly high .. great sound.
"Blinding Lights" reminded me of "Take On Me" from the very first time I heard it. I'm glad someone took the initiative to combine the two. It's pretty awesome! Greetings from Lebanon!
Don’t understand the negativity on this video. You’re doing a cracking job & no bodies are trying to drag you down because they have nothing better to do with their life being in self isolation... at least you bring joy to us all in this dark time. You’re going to be huge!!!!
I was just thinking, why isn’t there anyone covering these brilliantly composed two songs that resemble the 80’s? I’ve found my answer right here and it’s my favourite video ever since. Beautiful!
i love how refreshing this is, the blinding lights tune does have similar sounds to take on me and i cant believe i didnt catch it omg, too good !! lol
wtf i AM from that era when nothing was impossible, we were brave enough to cross worlds and walk on the frigging moon but...... you guys own this style of music... why are you not on the billboards?
Stunning! This exact idea popped in my head when I heard Blinding Lights for the first time. It reminded me of Aha's Take On Me as well. I just wished you had included more of that take on me stabs but otherwise job well done
I absolutely F****** love this. Holy S*** I’ve listened to it like 8 times in a row not even gonna lie. The perfect cover and the perfect mashup. I’m sharing this
Sarah Boudreau Blinding Lights actually sounds alot like - Rod Stewart - Young Turks, you could drop blinding lights on top of it, starting with the first verse.
I am blown away by this version of The Weekend: Blinded by the Light and what a kickass transition of Ah Hah: Take On Me. What a sweet transition! Kudos and sAhlOm to Yu and the Band Members
Initially when I heard Blinding lights i immediately thought of AHa's take on me ,you guys are genius for figuring this out and blending the two together 😉👍
Hi ! If you like this one, i recommend you to have listen this acoustic cover of this song too in the original key ! 🎧 ua-cam.com/video/iLDP-ljNdTQ/v-deo.html
As soon as I heard 'Blinding Lights', I immediately got 'Take On Me' vibes. I'm SO glad someone did this!! lol. You did it well too. :)
Right
I got like a rod Stewart young turks vibe
Right. Me too. Similiar vibes
JOSHUA YEATTS Hmm came for the A-Ha comment, but now as u Mention young turks i am in .
I immediately remembered 'Maniac' by Michael Sembello
I grew up during the 80s and of course Blinding Lights brings Take On Me and Young Turks to my mind, but it also brings lots of memories and songs which used same beat, bass line, melody and riffs.

Young Turks ♥️
Paco Reguenga dude you’re still young
Keep talking, what other 80s music does this take you back too? Stay safe elder! :)
BREMDEY “Maniac” by Michael Sambello, “Runaway” by Bon Jovi, “Working by The Weekend” by Loverboy, “Safety Dance” by Men Without Hats, and even some songs by U2, Saga, Icycle Works and The Psychedelic Furs. And lots more!
Universe bless you

The male guitarist is my guitar teacher and he’s absolutely mint
MWSDGAMING is he single? Asking for a friend
His private ig please 😂 and I'm asking for my friend
MWSDGAMING cool! Where are they located? Do they perform live?
As in chocolate?
Where are you all from? Reference to Newcastle on the wall 😊
I really like this group and their songs. I’m a 72 year old and they make my feet want to dance all night. 🥰
72 ain't dead my friend, you got the rest of your life in front of you, enjoy it
The " I said" is absolutely fantastic and the falling and going up intonation wow just wow.
Hello, I totally agree, this cover is insane, I love it ! I love this acoustic version too 🎶 🎶👉ua-cam.com/video/iLDP-ljNdTQ/v-deo.html
@@rnou4781 Wow its really great. Thanks for the recommendation
@@maggymwas4688 no worries, i think he"s doing weekly covers, you can subscribe to receive the notifications ! blessings !
Everything is perfect about these guys, the way they play the music, the vocals EVERYTHING IS AMAZING
Would’ve preferred a POC for the singer. :/
@Jaden Miller ~ yeah, the autotune on the vocals... don't like that one bit. But it is a good mashup and the energy is great.
Watch the video, see the girl in the background with the acoustic guitar? It never appears in the track. Her instrument is silent. Go figure.
You're so right. The first time that I've heard the song "Blinding lights" I sincerely believed that it was a new single by A-HA. Great -great performance. Love it...
Excellent cover of a unique song. This group has captured the essence and magic of the 80s.
I knew someone would do this! Good job!!
Ian Brodie we did toooo omg such a coincidence
Same here 🖐️
I know right?! When I heard the song I immediately thought of Take on me lol
2:17 ahhh the sweet feeling off a perfect transition, the lead guitarist face says it all
I've lost track how many times I have watched this. Love it!
Crazy, this was right before the 2020 lock down
piano guy is the best!
That piano .....is the sound of 80's .😊😍 i love it 😊
Epa!! y vos que estáis haciendo por aquí, regresad a vuestro canal. Chaval..
Non, ils ont tous du talent. J'adore !!!
@@socorromeza5238 😂😂😂😂
Brian really is amazing :-)
It's basically just Blinding Lights with one chorus line from Take on me near the end. It's good, but I wanted more A-Ha
My thoughts exactly.
Better than no Aha at all. Maybe the band can try with a bit more Aha. Both solid tunes but at this point Im thinking Weeknd has the edge as the better song.
I'll go further, its simply an average reworking of a tremendous song that itself channelled "i ran" and our TDK90 era with brilliant results. There are tons of bands doing this and channelling Chris Martin whilst doing so, at times. Boring.
@@kenhornick6945 Which is the point - weeknd and aha are incredible artists. This is just another magnolia representation.
I always want more A-ha they are so good
This song NEEDS to be longer ... it's perfect!!
one of the best gems I've found during quarantine
Legends says this guy still likes people's comments
Fredrick Smith The legend is true....
@@FriendsLikeThese Noice
Listening to your covers literally gave me the chills. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up on end. You guys are really good.
*_Takes Blinding Lights On Me_*
Smooth💯
The Blinding Lights Take on Me
It’s nice to see a younger generation discover 80’s music.
It wasn’t all “hair bands” and spade
Allan Schwartz yep! Always comes full circle.
Yeah but I hope this just means the new hair bands are on their way to bring back rock to the limelight
hair styles were neat too
I stumbled here as I was trying to put my finger on exactly which song blinding lights reminded me of. But I wanted to comment how awesome these performers sound. Hope you fly high .. great sound.
Byron Elliott thank you 🙏
The eargasm on the first "Take on me", changing tones... oh sweet lord 😍
"Blinding Lights" reminded me of "Take On Me" from the very first time I heard it. I'm glad someone took the initiative to combine the two. It's pretty awesome! Greetings from Lebanon!
as an 80's/90's kid......i LOVE THIS!
It's just awesome what the synth does in a music audio... Feels like I am lucky to be born in this era.
the 80s were much lucky bro
The era was actually the 80s !
Don’t understand the negativity on this video. You’re doing a cracking job & no bodies are trying to drag you down because they have nothing better to do with their life being in self isolation... at least you bring joy to us all in this dark time. You’re going to be huge!!!!
Thanks Jack, really appreciate your comments 👍
Brilliant.. pure Class..
can't even hear the Geordie in Ya! :D
My UA-cam recomendations are getting so good...
So I'm not the only one who thought these two songs sounded similar.
both use synth and have that 80s touch
It's the drums and temp bruv
It also has a certain Maneater touch.
Pretty sure take on me was an inspiration for weeknds song
o nome dessa similaridade é SynthWave... ficou épico!
Being born in the early 80’s, music like this speaks to me on multiple levels.
I was just thinking, why isn’t there anyone covering these brilliantly composed two songs that resemble the 80’s? I’ve found my answer right here and it’s my favourite video ever since. Beautiful!
Lord Seth Everman brought me here, bless on His name.
10s right away
Same
Same
Same
Same
Love this type of music back to the 80’s.
Holy shit this is awesome! So glad I found it! All of your vocals are divine!
So I'm already in love with this song, but this cover, added with Take On Me, was awesome!
I love this version, great singing
Legend says this guy still gives hearts to guys
OMG he literally gave me a heart 😯😯😯
Of course they did the LEGENDS
The lead vocals boyhood looks and charisma make the band even better because his jacket is so high school

Best Blinding Lights Cover I’ve heard so far! And not only that, mashup of Take on me was a bonus. Love it!
Neat insert of AHA. Well sung, well played, band!

Very cool guys..I love it..greetings from Birmingham UK
I love this! I knew I couldn't be the only one who thought Blinding Lights sounded like Take on Me!
Sarah Boudreau Blinding Lights actually sounds alot like - Rod Stewart - Young Turks, you could drop blinding lights on top of it, starting with the first verse.

He nailed that Morten high note, bravo ! Love this, and considering it's taken me nearly a year to find out what that track was called.
loving it !! excellent voice and instrument playing.
the combination is perfect, more dificulty a-ha than the weeknd.
From México
Initially when I heard Blinding lights i immediately thought of AHa's take on me ,you guys are genius for figuring this out and blending the two together 😉👍
Love this type of music, the 80’s music must come back.
Super cool band big cheeky grin on guy on the keyboard ha ha and the little remix cool
