As soon as Tal Wilkenfeld is on the bass it's always worth listening in a bit closer. That woman does great things on the bass.

[raipier]

I love when a cover is actually a cover and not just the same song with one minor adjustment. They are a funky band. Two thumbs up!!

[darvoid]

Is that Jeff Beck's Bass Player? It looks just like her. It was a pleasure to watch you react to one of your own songs. That band is filled with amazing musicians.

[waynepratt]

worth noting that Jack Conte ( on the second synth ) is not only a fierce Muso but ALSO the founder and CEO of Patreon.

Overdrive is pretty much the opposite of what you think. It's to drop the revs for more comfortable high speed cruising. Never mind. The lyric still works. Hope your Dad kept the MG.

[danielm.porcedda]

Well, you mentioned the nice bass playing. What other is to expect if the bass is played by the fabulous Tal Wilkenfeld :-)

[chetubetchaIII]

They got Tal to play bass on a cover of your song? That is a magnificent tribute, in itself!

[ivanheffner]

Scary Pockets is a fun channel to follow. I love all the unique takes on so many songs they’ve got. The main members have several other project (Jack Conte has Pomplamoose, Ryan Lerman has Stories, together they have a channel Dead Wax).

[SarahAndEyre-mxrx]

She has a great voice, but nothing beats how you do it❤

[MaxWa]

"These musicians are really good aren't they?"

Wait till he finds out they arrange and record it in like 4 hours 😅

I saw them live In DC a few months ago with the incomparable, David Ryan Harris. The Bass on this is Tal Wilkenfeld who you might know from Jeff Beck at Ronnie Scott's. Guests have included such diverse talents as, Joe Bonnamasa and John Scofield!

[timothymallon]

The bassist, Tal Wilkenfeld is a monster on bass! You should do some videos of her accomplishments. She's playing it safe for this song, but when you see her let loose, holy crap!

[markhammer]

I always enjoy Scary Pockets' reworkings of hit songs. I wouldn't say every single one knocks it out of the park, but they are always always always tight. I enjoyed their version of Tears for Fears "Everyone Wants to Rule the World", with Cory Henry on organ and vocals. Inspiring.

[JasonCGuitarOfficial]

Tal Wilkenfeld on bass!!!! ... She used to play with Jeff Beck. Shes also an amazing singer and songwriter!

[jasonbelldata]

Anything Tal Wilkenfeld touches ends up being amazing. Watching Jeff Beck's face light up during Tal's solo on Cause We Ended As Lovers live at Ronnie Scotts is something I go back to again and again.

[mayge]

You know you’ve written a great song went it translates so well to so many different genres.

[Mahbeiserts]

I think some of the melody is a bit obscured sometimes in this cover but they still did great and they are super tight. One of the things I've always loved about this song is that there is always a melody, whether its Justin singing or the guitar or the bass. Every part is singable and catchy melody that sticks with you; every riff and solo, and vocal part.

[psthisiskaty]

You KNOW you're watching / listening to something special when the involuntary giggles start! Lol. *THAT'S* when you know!! Great stuff!!! Thank you for sharing!!!❤

[escharff]

The thing is, I really love the 3 solos the original song has in it. Nothing can compare to the badassness that they provide. Cheers!

[gilly]

Hey Justin, I think it is the sign of a great song that it can be interpreted in different ways. Kudos to any vocalist who can pull this off, not an easy one to sing. Love scary pockets and as a fellow Aussie super proud of Tal, what an awesome muso killing it on the world stage!
