lucky you have a twin who plays drums so well

[i_DONT_get_IT]

Fun fact: this is a perfect song for cold plunges or ice baths (if anyone here does that). Something about it that is so cohesive.

The Cover of the Year 2024 is coming!
Stay tuned! 😊

[MicahBuzanMUSIC]

Amazing cover. I hope The Smile sees this.

[sleepflowers]

Joe + Taka =
No need to say anything 😌

[guhjjify]

Skinner is absurd on this and thanks to Joe, I'm finally digesting how creative his, as well as of course, Jonny and Thom's parts are. Utterly perfect Joe and Taka!

[qritique]

When I grow up I want to be just as good as Taka !

This cover made me realize how much the solo sounds like Smashing Pumpkins

[chinchirap]

WOW. I think i like the transition to the climax better on this cover than in the studio version. Just as unexpected but more equal in intensity between the noise and climax 10/10

It's sad there aren't a lot of good covers of the new Smile album on here. But this one's EASILY the best. Fantastic job.

[MDE]

Amazing cover. This is probably my favorite Smile song.

[exxtraeli]

I got to see them play this live last summer, and it was a spiritual experience to say the least

[ceoofpacifism]

love how professional you can make the music sound while recording in a home studio, crazy good job guys

[AlexXOXO]

This is so beautiful. I have no words, after all this years I still a big fan.

[SamuelPHell]

Love this! And I love this song so much... one of the best things Thom and Jonny have ever written. Haven't stopped listening to it since it was released as a single.

[samkenney]

This is the best cover of any song I’ve ever seen. Literally. Your vocals are litterally thoms! And great playing over all! I’m rooting for you my friend!! I just watched the smile last night at the Apollo. It was magic

[Deux_Kfc]

Can't wait for more the smile covers!!!

[thisismadisonacid]

Had no idea what imwas getting into andmdidmt have high hopes cause, well im super critical, but great job guys. The audio is great, your voice is great- could easily almost be mistaken for thom, drums good and he did a great job on the guitar....with his head down, he could almost be mistaken for Johnny Greenwood himself lol but yeah totally blown away at how this almost sounds identical to the original.

[charlieblockclocksnow]

A couple of minutes in, and i genuinely forgot I wasn't listening to the official version. You guys are fantastic

[crazyboxfilms]

i already know this is gonna be insane
