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
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.
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...
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!!!!
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
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!
"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!
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.

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?
I think we all heard the similarities in the beat from TOM to BL, especially if you grew up in the 80s. They just jumped on it! Good job guys!! I really appreciated the covers, awesome all around 👍
ohhh! I knew this I love 💜this song the "blindings lights" is for all generations it has all the vibes of the 80s with lyrics that was consistent for this time and it reminds me a lot of this group that I love❤ a lot which is a-ha owww the weeknd is "the best"💎 excelent song i can't believe that he He was not nominated for a grammy is a shame😔 and will be missed at the grammys and the cover so good!✌🏻
@@FriendsLikeThese yes!!!! Newcastle!!! Im now living in scottish Highlands but a geordie through and through...why have I not heard you before now!!!!!!!!!!
Idk why really good potential dudes like the singer don't blow up in the music industry as they deserve.Instead we got tons of cocky & not talented "musicians/artists".The band was great as well
i love how everyone is so in the moment but the guy on keyboard is like who cares lets enjoy it and the song is worth enjoying as theyre really good sorry just noticed the lass on guitar nearly broke a smile lololololol

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 😉👍
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 😊

Paco Reguenga dude you’re still young
Keep talking, what other 80s music does this take you back too? Stay safe elder! :)

I really like this group and their songs. I’m a 72 year old and they make my feet want to dance all night. 🥰

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 !
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.

@@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
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 :-)
This song NEEDS to be longer ... it's perfect!!
A-ha X The Weeknd - Take On My Blinding Light
that sounds amazing
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
If I lived in the flat above I'd be banging on the floor screaming "Turn that shit up" lol
Hello, you’re right, this cover is crazy, my favorite cover of this song in the original key is right there 👉 ua-cam.com/video/iLDP-ljNdTQ/v-deo.html

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...
I love this version, great singing
2:17 ahhh the sweet feeling off a perfect transition, the lead guitarist face says it all
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. :/
@@jadenmiller9479 ~ 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.
Love this type of music back to the 80’s.
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
I'm so confused... So... Why arent you guys famous..?
G
because they're imitating material made by people with actual creativity and talent.
In time doodle....in time
Manoah van der wolf Thanks for listening. Check out our original music: ua-cam.com/video/HcrLCOMejk4/v-deo.html
@@marquezbro1239 "Dr. Doodl" Please have some respec.
Thanks for all the love guys! Check out our upbeat 80s version of 'Drivers License' ua-cam.com/video/YGn0-KtsCJY/v-deo.html
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!
The lead vocals boyhood looks and charisma make the band even better because his jacket is so high school
This is totally wonderful
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
Legends says this guy still likes people's comments
Fredrick Smith The legend is true....
@@FriendsLikeThese Noice
as an 80's/90's kid......i LOVE THIS!
That falsetto in "take on me" 🔥🔥🔥
I knoooow riiiight 😍

My UA-cam recomendations are getting so good...
one of the best gems I've found during quarantine
This song never gets old.
One of my all time favorites
These songs
The eargasm on the first "Take on me", changing tones... oh sweet lord 😍
Absolutely Brilliant, I don't know why the haven't a recording label yet.
Brilliant they can master any song 🎤🎸🎹🎧
Cool Band, Friends Like That 🎙️🎶🎼🥁😎
Singer’s got an awesome voice. I’m envious.
Holy shit this is awesome! So glad I found it! All of your vocals are divine!
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 !
Brilliant.. pure Class..
can't even hear the Geordie in Ya! :D
the combination is perfect, more dificulty a-ha than the weeknd.
From México
Legend says this guy still gives hearts to guys
OMG he literally gave me a heart 😯😯😯
Of course they did the LEGENDS
Excellent cover of a unique song. This group has captured the essence and magic of the 80s.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I IMAGINE WHEN HEARD BLINDING LIGHTS x TAKE ON ME!!!!
Being born in the early 80’s, music like this speaks to me on multiple levels.
DAMN! what a voice! The Weeknd would be proud! If you were on Masked Singer u would go ALL the way!

So I'm already in love with this song, but this cover, added with Take On Me, was awesome!
Surprise with them!😺 I like them. Very good voice
You could add Rod Stewart's Young Turks to this mix, both that and Take on me are the songs I hear within Blinding Lights
Very Very cool.... Wonderful song and voice ❤️❤️❤️❤️
