Thabiso Moyakhe Hi thanks, really glad you enjoyed it - it's one of my favourite songs by Alt-J although since it came out I love it pretty equally with Every Other Freckle. Thanks againTina x
You were meant to sing this song. You emit such an intensity it has been hard not to play this song over and over. Thank you for the passion filled contribution.
Indochina, Capa jumps Jeep, two feet creep up the road To photo, to record meat lumps and war They advance as does his chance, very yellow white flash A violent wrench grips mass, rips light, tears limbs like rags Burst so high finally Capa lands Mine is a watery pit Painless with immense distance From medic from colleague, friend, enemy, foe Him five yards from his leg, from you, Taro Do not spray into eyes, I have sprayed you into my eyes 3:10 pm, Capa pends death, quivers, last rattles, last chokes All colors and cares glaze to gray, shriveled and stricken to dots Left hand grasps what the body grasps not, le photographe est mort Three, point, one, four, one, five, alive no longer my amour, faded for home May of '54 Doors open like arms my love, painless with a great closeness To Capa, to Capa, Capa dark after nothing, re-united with his leg And with you, Taro Do not spray into eyes, I have sprayed you into my eyes Hey Taro
Gorgeous performance! It's worth noting that the song is based on the true love story of two journalism photographers, Robert Capa and Gerta Taro, both died very unpleasant (separate) deaths while documenting two different wars. In their deaths, they are reunited, according to those lyrics. "Mine is a water pit" - Capa actually lost his leg and lost his leg a few hours before his inevitable demise. You really bring out those emotions in your cover, I admit to have shed a tear. Alt-J's lead singer is great but he tends to swallow his words a little.
I am floored by your talent. I'm a big fan of Alt-J but this is one of theirs I haven't heard. I'm actually glad I heard you sing it first. Your vocals are so beautifully chilling, and your playing is immaculate. I would have never guessed this was an Alt-J song. Thank you for sharing your soul and art with the world. 💕
Thank you so much, what a wonderful comment to read 🥹 it’s funny, because this was recorded nearly 10 years ago now, it’s really interesting to see how my voice has changed over the years. Sometimes I hate what I used to sound like but comments like this really put me in check so thank you so much. This means everything xx
I'm a big Alt-J fan, and listening to your covers from them is incredible! You have so much talent and you should make more Alt-j covers! you go girl!!
Holy crap I am so impressed with this cover. The vocal part of this song is so difficult and you made it seem like it was the most simple thing. Beautiful cover.
this is my favourite alt j song, I can honestly say this is better than their live versions! That is a massive achievement! Im a musician and I find alt j so hard to cover! this gives me a bit of hope thank you so much!
I've just come across Soeur and just put two and two together! Brought me back to this amazing cover, which I must have 'liked' about 3 or 4 years ago! Still the best cover and your new single with Soeur that Steve Lamacq played today is class!
Lovely. My daughter and I were listening to you this morning over breakfast. She is 6 months old and loved it. As did I. Keep up the good work. Vishal and Ramona, London.
Wow, this really couldn't have been much better as a cover. You hit every note perfectly and bring something of your own to a brilliant song. Great job!
I'm mezmerized. How can you sing such an already beautiful even more beautifully with you own personal artistic license, and be so physically gorgeous at the same time to compliment your talent!? I know this particular one by heart I was singing along with you and I never sing. I love the beauty of this sound and irony in that it's lyrics are simultaneously so tragic. I noticed the ring on your finger, the combination of your beauty & talent is more than any mortal man deserves! ;)
when i first hear the song, I remember thinking whoever decides to cover this song is going to face an uphill battle... but you make it look easy. Bravo!
Thank you so much! I hope you don't mind me throwing this one out there - my band! A bit different - please see if you like it! x ua-cam.com/video/QrMW3rm-Lq4/v-deo.html
I didn't know that people could actually cover alt j and it would sound good. You proved me wrong.
I’m late to the party but I have a new song I wanna learn.
This is what I call a cover. Yes ma'am!
Thabiso Moyakhe Hi thanks, really glad you enjoyed it - it's one of my favourite songs by Alt-J although since it came out I love it pretty equally with Every Other Freckle. Thanks againTina x
at 2:31 I was thinking "there's no way she can sing this part", and then she does just that.
Haha, I just fast forwarded it to 2.31 to see which part :) Thankyou! x
That part gave me chills! Lovely cover.
Look a live version of this song and then you will see how they usually make it ;)
Your voice control is insane, keep doing the awesome work!

Indochina, Capa jumps Jeep, two feet creep up the road
To photo, to record meat lumps and war
They advance as does his chance, very yellow white flash
A violent wrench grips mass, rips light, tears limbs like rags
Burst so high finally Capa lands
Mine is a watery pit Painless with immense distance
From medic from colleague, friend, enemy, foe
Him five yards from his leg, from you, Taro
Do not spray into eyes, I have sprayed you into my eyes
3:10 pm, Capa pends death, quivers, last rattles, last chokes
All colors and cares glaze to gray, shriveled and stricken to dots
Left hand grasps what the body grasps not, le photographe est mort
Three, point, one, four, one, five, alive no longer my amour, faded for home May of '54
Doors open like arms my love, painless with a great closeness
To Capa, to Capa, Capa dark after nothing, re-united with his leg
And with you, Taro
Do not spray into eyes, I have sprayed you into my eyes
Hey Taro
what omg when you sing 'do not spray into eyes...' im like okay i love her

Robert Capa was actually their "artist" name since they worked together
this song is so hard to sing! She did such a great job! Love it so much :)
