E^ST covers The Verve 'Bitter Sweet Symphony'

YT:
17 year old E^ST absolutely smashes a cover of The Verve’s 'Bitter Sweet Symphony’, even dropping in some surprise Massive Attack for good measure.

When I was a teenager I really liked Cruel Intentions and this song (or the original at least) along with it.

This cover is okay, but way poorer a sound with all the subtlty and digital beats than all the powerful strings of the original:

Nice cover! I watched the video without reading the blurb and thought the Massive Attack tag was added just because the kick and snare were like Teardrop but they were actually intending to quote it. I'd love to see a full version of Teardrop done by them.

(But only after I confer with the lead singer and get her to sing the correct 8th-8th-maj7th-5th-min7th on the words 'gentle emotion' instead of the 8th-8th-min7th-5th-min7th that she sang. I guess I'll forgive her for now.. )

Moving this video to OverLord's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
