Heard on the new Promo Only yesterday. Doesn't sound radio friendly.

Since I didn't recognize Hugo I expected this to be a full-on, hideous nu-metal cover; glad that wasn't true. The interpolation is actually tasteful, though I'm not quite sure what it has to do with the rest of the song. Pretty groovin' country/blues rock, basically. Would not mind this becoming a hit at all.

Pleasantly surprised by this. Interesting sound to it. Maybe it'll be a hit somehow.

Usually I like covers that are radically different from the original, but man, this is one annoying song. I wouldn't call this a bluegrass cover as much as a lame attempt at a bluegrass cover...it's just a monotonous beat with decent banjowork & a forced accent.

I saw Hugo open for The Script back in October and I really liked this cover. It's nice to see it getting some airplay. The guy is really talented imo.

You do realise this isn't his song, right?

Do you know who does the original? Just testing your knowledge.

Wow. I keep wondering if you're an out of touch old man or a naive youth.

Well, the original is pretty well known. Surely they must have listed it somewhere on Billboard hm.

For someone who professes to love "discussing the songs" you sure don't seem to know a whole lot about them half the time.

Talk about coming into the thread and being only able to read every other page of a book. Classless act by the person deleting their posts.

This is called "Artie knows he's being an idiot and is now removing the evidence".

This is called "Artie knows he's being an idiot and is now removing the evidence". I wonder why he hasn't deleted his other 3,947 posts. |
