Been having a rough go the last few months and then I stumbled upon this. I've loved biffy and everything Simon does and this just proved that the universe gave me him to cheer me up. Thank you Si for being such incredible human!
I live away from my home town I've loved this song ever since I first heard it. Hearing Simon sing it, it is truly great This song brings a tear to my eye even after 37 years away Halifax Yorkshire is where my hearty and home are
One of the best songs ever written. Definitely one of the songs that has been covered by the widest variety of artists. The fact that so many different kinds of musicians have chosen this song to cover shows its universal appeal.
i herd this then went to find the original....... the original was amazing ...........simon takes to another level credit to simon and the band fantastic job everyone
A really stunning cover of a brilliant song, one I know I'll come back to whenever I need a pick-me-up. Just beautiful, though Simon makes it sound effortless 🎤🎸👌👌👌🌟👏👏👏
David Byrne was brought up Just up the road from Biffy in Dumbarton i knew David's parents. They went to the same Church as my Grandad and Granny. Still to meet David he moved to NY. Something to do with art college. Formed Talking Heads the rest is history. Really cool cover
I've loved this song for years, but Biffy sings it how I hear it, a little bit angry and I'm just an animal looking for 2 minutes peace while I make it through a strange place...I absolutely love these lyrics xx
@@johnsmith-wk2tb the original is played on a real bass guitar. He is doing hammer ons and tapping, basically using both hands on the fretboard to finger notes at the same time. Instead of plucking with his right hand hitting the strings down hard on the fretboard will vibrate the string enough to get the note out

I'm right there with you. It's just that little thing that can pick you up!
When I first heard this it gave me such joy. I wish all the best you and yours dude. I can't wait for more Biffy covers of absolute tunes xxx
so happy for you that simon and biffy can lift you out of a dark place they have done tht for me many many times

The universe ain't that shit man. It's pretty sound
Looks naked without his guitar 🎸 lol 💃🏻

What better mash up than Biffy and Talking Heads. Must have listened to this 4x over when I first heard it. Beautiful.
When I hear Simon, he's the focal point. But this performance just blows me away. And that bass line. Unreal.
Been a Biffy fan for about 15 years, this is honestly one of his finest vocal performances.
Also, the way the guy's playing the bassline!!

One if the best covers I’ve heard! Would never have thought this would be a song that would go with his voice but holy shit this is good!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
I love this group! UA-cam put this group in my feed, and I love them! If you haven't seen them perform Running Up That Hill - you've got to!
This is the best cover I’ve found after trolling UA-cam for 20min.
It’s great, the MGMT version is awesome too
love biffy, but don't like this song at all, they way its so boppy is just ugh..
One of the best songs I've heard si sing
If ever a song got a Biffy-over this is a prime candidate

Took a while to realise its a Talking Heads cover. Awesome
Insane..
One of the only cover version of this song that they pull it off well done 👍🏻 ❤

What a cover I love the talking heads (big fan) original .... but this is super good,
Talking Heads and Biffy....The Sound of Young Scotland
impressed he learned the lyrics, fantastic cover
This version is perfect for him. Reminds me a lot of his marmaduke duke stuff
Sound very very very nice. Its very brave made a cover by the TH and not dying in the procesa
This is so excellent.
rad
Fucking love Biffy man
Talking Heads version takes some beating; this knocks it into a cocked hat!😀
Nice. Whenis the live concert?
I wonder why the awesome bassline has been stripped away? No. Moving on.
Singer nearly did the big suit dance there
It's so weird seeing Simon wear a shirt xD
any bassists out here repeating the first 5 seconds to try understand what tf is going on??
I love the Talking Heads bassline . Seems like they ripped it out of this inferior version for some reason..

Probably the worst and most unexpected song from this band 😂
Probably the worst and most unexpected opinion of this song. Loser.
