Jake Bugg - What Is A Youth in session for Zane Lowe and BBC Radio 1

[melanielarson]

I have chills this is one of my absolute favourite songs I cannot believe he actually covered this, how good is voice sounds with it and how well he covered it. Seriously I am in love with this!!

[deaditeera]

I come back and watch this because it's a beautiful cover, but also, try and think of any young artists today that would pick THIS song to cover. And can sing it the way he does. That's the first thing that blew me away was that he chose this song. The result is magic.

[Kirkunik]

All I can say is wow wow wow.   What a gem of a song for him to tackle.  And tackle it he does.... as only a handsome young Romeo could.   He is getting better at nuance in his singing.  His voice is strong and clear.   Beautiful Mr Bugg.  Impressed I am.

What is a youth?
Impetuous fire.
What is a maid?
Ice and desire.
The world wags on

A rose will bloom,
it then will fade
So does a youth.
So does the fairest maid.

What is a youth?
Impetuous fire.
What is a maid?
Ice and desire.
The world wags on

A rose will bloom,
it then will fade
So does a youth.
So does the fairest maid.

Comes a time when one sweet smile
Has its season for awhile
Then Love's in love with me

Some may think only to marry.
Others will tease and tarry.
Mine is the very best parry,
Cupid he rules us all.

Caper the caper; sing me the song
Death will come soon to hush us along
Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall,
Love is a task and it never will pall.
Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall,
Cupid he rules us all.
