I'll be damned. The best and most-known a capella song, put to music, and you guys fucking _nailed_ it.

I'm crying the original was my favorite song years ago and I've been listening to Amber Run for a while I can't believe I just found this

[DudeWheresMyTom]

Anyone who enjoys the harmonies in this (which I'm assuming is basically all of us) seriously need to check out Amber Run's original tracks, they're packed with amazing harmonies and overall great vocal work

[elainetripp]

Wow.  I've never heard a better cover of Hide and Seek.  It is an absolute pleasure to hear, just like it was for me to first listen to the original.  You guys have given the song a new, different sense of life.  I almost never leave comments on Youtube, but I had to for this one.  I'm so impressed. 

[malariehunter]

the harmonization of this song is just... wow

[tashrajak]

This is really amazing. And the harmonies in the "what you say" part are so incredible. Literally can't get enough of this cover wow

[Papatoothwort]

Of all the covers of this unbelievable song I've heard, this is probably the best. Most covers either just sing the melody with a completely replicated phrasing/delivery, or focus way too much on the vocoder aesthetic, and they all seem to forget that the emotion of the song is first and foremost what makes it so powerful. These guys made it emotional in a way that works for them, rather than making an identical cover or relying purely on the songwriting to carry all the emotion for them. The way it tethers on a crescendo the whole time is brilliantly frustrating.

[ElGranCholo]

When he sing the part of "what you say?" his voice is like the bastille

[Jubernack]

Think I just found my new favorite band.

[mariahlee]

Where are we? And what the hell is going on?
The dust has only just begun to fall, Crop circles in the carpet, sinking, feeling.
Spin me 'round again and rub my eyes. This can't be happening.
When busy streets amass with people Would stop to hold their heads heavy.
Hide and seek.
Trains and sewing machines. Oily marks appear on walls
Where pleasure moments hung before. The takeover, the sweeping insensitivity of this still life.
Hide and seek.
Trains and sewing machines. Blood and tears,
They were here first.
Mmm, what you say?
Mm, that you only meant well? Well, of course you did.
Mmm, what you say?
Mm, that it's all for the best? Of course it is.
Mmm, what you say?
Mm, that it's just what we need? And you decided this.
Mm, What you say? Mmm, what did you say?
Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth. Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut-outs.
Speak no fear, no I don't believe. You don't care a bit. You don't care a little bit.
Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth. Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut-outs.
Speak no fear, no I don't believe you. You don't care a bit. You don't care a little bit.
Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth. Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut-outs.
Speak no fear, no I don't believe you. You don't care a bit. You don't care a little bit.
Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth. Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut-outs.
Speak no fear, no I don't believe you.
You don't care a bit. You don't care a little

Amazing rendition of this song. Love the drum tracking, guitar, and piano work. Has a great feel to it.

[anonanon]

AMAZING take on this song, you guys. WOW. this is one of my favorites and you honored it well. Just as haunting, but a different kind of emotion is in there besides the resignation-sadness Imogen Heap portrays. UGH. loved it.

[darkrayc]

Wow... did NOT think Imogen Heap's H&S could be remade like this.. just WOW

[brenthompson]

[joyce]

Been listening to this song non stop for the past 2 days and im totally in love with this band now! favorite songs are Heaven, Spark and this one.

[samtattrie]

Amber Run's acoustic music is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.

[upupawayandbeyond]

Just got goosebumps! What a surprise. What a pearl! Amazing cover!

[pirateben]

Was already down an Amber Run rabbit hole when I saw this and immediately went *click*"

[shinjones]

What an amazing cover, I absolutely love this and now I'm on a run to listen to some more tunes by them.

[LifeOrSeth]
