I love that the accent is so clear in this cover.

[jimgeary]

Those drums sound great. Props to the soundman.

[frankg]

Love it when an Australian accent breaks through

[tcmonster]

If I imagined that an Aussie band were to cover this song this is exactly how I'd want to hear it, and now I can! Amazing!

[mariopup]

I hope this makes the general public finally wake up to the insane talent of sly withers- a band that has been hidden in plain sight for years..
Absolute sick one lads

[aidanrobson]

That dude in the dark green shirt has the most amazing voice

[joeyleighwagtail]

My dog passed away recently, the 'chasing our tails' part has me in tears.. Sly withers got a fan for life today

[davey]

I normally can’t get through more than 30 seconds of a cover of the scientist but you guys had me from beginning to end. Fantastic!!

[kevtd]

Bravo guys. The harmony on the “take me back to the start” is chefs kiss. So good.

[richardcolton]

Love this cover and am now a converted fan of Sly Withers. I am getting a Smith Street band vibe from the 2nd vocalist, but that's a win because I love them also

[nicbarbs]

Commenting at 6000 views but I think 5000 of those are from me. This is stunning. Absolutely stunning. Love you boys.

[falenkizunga]

I absolutely LOVE Coldplay and this song. You guys rocked it! I love your personal flair you added to it!

[no_pioneer]

This is talent is just unfair.
What a great band.

Much love from Switzerland!

[RallickNom]

Time for people to stop sleeping on Sly Withers. Dudes have been sick for years now.

[johnnokeetels]

Bloody incredible cover from a bloody incredible band. What a bunch of legends.

[jedidiahm]

I really love that snare leading up to the pause that totally makes this song.

[yazgleadhill]

This is pulling at my heart. So much love, awe and respect for these guys ❤

[tiang]

3:41 ugh. When these chords kick in, just pure eargasm. ❤️

[lovinSummerday]

One of those covers that has me back month after month for one more listen, bloody great work fellas

My son has a condition called apraxia, it’s a speech condition meaning he doesn’t have a voice and won’t be able to talk without intense speech therapy. This song has just became out fighting song for our little man . Thank you
