As a music enthusiast I have to believe that Kurt is not turning over in his grave, but is appreciating the passion these people have for music and their attempt not to recreate his song, but to simply make it their own. Same song. Different interpretation. a beautiful tribute in my opinion.

My god the concept of 'cover' is lost on so many people. Doesn't sound like grunge? Nothing like the original? It doesn't feel raw?.., no shit. It's a cover. It's a unique version of the original. Nothing more. No one is trying to steal your heart shaped box. More credit should go to bands like this who actually make the effort to make it their own arrangement. Just shut up about how much you love kurt, and picture walking into a chilled bar, and then hearing the ghosts of some of your favourite tunes while you sip on a martini. I particularly found the tempo change on 'memmmmoria' quite soothing. Saxophone was Genius...

Whether you love it or hate it, props to Tom and Joanna for having the confidence to tackle such an iconic song and put their own twist on it

Like A Version nails another one and the purpose is "not to copy" the song and instead own it. Big Scary turns the song upside down. They take all the anger out of the song and make it into a soothing sexy song.

If you listen to this as an independent song, and not compare to the song of which they are covering, it's actually quite haunting and beautiful. Like a Versions should not be compared to the song that they are covering, and instead, judged as an independent song. If they wanted to be compared to the original song, they wouldn't add their own twists, and instead try and make their song sound as much like the original as they possibly could.

Completely agree... I do my best, not always successful, to not thing of the original version, allowing the covers to really be appropriated... and then towards the end, I always catch myself comparing the two ... and so far, this channel has not let me down.... there are a lot of junk covers of great songs here in the KZread world

Stumbled across this in may 2021 and kicking myself I’ve never heard it before. What a cover.

I get a Phil Collins vibe from this and it's awesome. 🤘🏼

You know nothing will touch the original. And I still really think this version is very atmospheric and contends respectably with any cover out there, including massively famous bands with household names. But whether you like this version or you don't, it should never be down thumbed. It's encouraging to see 20-somethings giving such praise to the 90's and nirvana. This is just another way it stays alive. And every little bit brings rock music closer to it's triumphant return to glory.

Whenever you can fit sax in like this, you should.

I love how this cover has a completely different vibe and sound to the original. It's so good to see another Aussie band putting there original touch on a much loved song! I'm obsessed with this cover!!!

A well played stripped back version of an awesome old song. This to me is what like a version is all about. Brilliant work!

This is hands down one of my favorite nirvana songs and i actually love this. Its not Nirvana but i still love this take on the song. I feel they really hit the nail on the head in what Like a Version should be, its twist on the original is rather soothing - say what you will and haters going to do their thing cause they 'know nirvana better then you because of reasons made up' but this is great!

Okay, This is amazing. Seriously, I never cared for this song growing up. Too harsh. I know, hate me. But this made me fall in love with the song and actually hear it for the first time. The lyrics, the melody, the meaning. I never realized how spiritual the message is; I actually picture walking down the aisle to it. It's truly about loving somebody, no matter how they show up. BRAVO! And extra bravo for dealing with the passive aggressive mocking from the DJs who are simply jealous of your talent and think they are not being painfully obvious as they attempt to shame you. They lost because you are brilliant. Thank you from Los Angeles for making me so happy with this cover. DJs bow down. Soho Haus Rules - Jackie Hyme

3:38 when you're walking through TSA and they "randomly" select you out of the line.

Love like a version when a band makes a great song different but still awesome - that is what takes real talent. Great work Big Scary.

I absolutely love this cover, such a relaxing vibe from the band and awesome voice from the singer. I love any cover where someone uses those little shakers haha

I'm a freaking huge Nirvana fan, they really helped me when i was a teenager and I've got to say that this cover really is awesome. I love the way they portrayed this song. I think songs like this really help show much of a genius Kurt really was. His harmonies and song writing are second to none in my opinion. This cover really brings that out. Damn good cover, that dude has a really good voice too.

Such a complex and smoothing version of the iconic Nirvana’s Come as you are. Utterly amazing, Kurt would appreciate this for what it is. Keep up the great work.....

Not so bad, if you pretend that you didn't grow up on nirvanas version. But not to bad

It's 2020, I'm under quarantine due to COVID-19, and I'm digging for good music. This cover is awesome! I really dig his vocals, but the first thing I noticed was the tone of that jazz bass. 👌🖤 Nicely done, three years later.

This is so lovely! Like, I hear this and go like, fuck, Cobain wrote this heart wrenching ballad but we were too busy focusing on the guitar licks the whole time. It's vocal driven fucking love this shit.

Ooooh wow.. What an awesome, beautiful version!! I listen to this so often; I can never get enough of it, it's intoxicating. Big Scary are LEGENDS!

So smooth. And still doing justice to the melancholy of the song. Love what you guys did with this

Honestly at first I thought I didn't like it, but then I thought about Kurt, Nirvana, and all they went through. This is almost like an homage to their struggle, their pain. No one can compare nor try to be exactly what Nirvana is. I applaud and appreciate this version.

So awesome! Loved It.

I love this version! so refreshing 🎷🎹🎶🎵🎼💖

I love this mellow vibe. Love it!

This is the sweetest thing that could possibly excite human eardrums

Can't believe I've never heard this before, in the 10 years I've been listening to Like a Version. This has to be, a literate ideal of Like a Version, this is not just a cover, it is an orginal interpretation, truly awesome.

As a 90's Nirvana kid, this is a beautiful cover. well done !!

Oh my.... directly on my favourites list... Thanks guys, thanks a lot.

really really nice cover in a completely new style...! keep on (i want more ;) )!!

As a big Nirvana fan, this was beautiful. The sax!!!

Came back to this and still liked it a lot

Good Cover. Gotta give props for them doing a cover of a great 90s Alternative Band. Kurt would have smiled

Next level awesome. How did I miss this!?!?

Beautiful cover. Kurt would love every second. If anything he'd be incredulous that anyone created something so beautiful out of something he had written.

Beautifully channelled Nirvana and the true spirit of this tune to not only own it but make it something more. Straight into my 2017 Top 100!

this is what a cover is supposed to be. Anyone can play an 'almost' good enough copy... bring something different to it. I dont like it, but thats beside the point.

Really loved it. Unlike some of the others I loved the synth and particularly the sax solo. Did a great song justice, great work guys.

Three years later I find this in 2020 and Ive listened to non stop! The whole piece is their own with the 🎷 stealing the show!!!

This was really good. Haunting in a modern way

Love this one go guys

This version reminds me of the film Heat for some reason. Always nice to see bands do a totally different take on a song without losing the key hooks. Good stuff.

I love the original but WOW as others have mentioned already, this is what doing a cover is all about. It's very daring and clever with its haunting tones. I get sort of Love Will Tear Us Apart vibes when I listen to this. Amazing cover honestly!

A unique and captivating interpretation. There's enough of the original elements there to recognise the song but beautifully redone. Love this.

Goosebumps love it!

Oh yes. This is an amazing tribute. Love it! ❤️

Amazing version!!! Kurt would be proud.

cover songs are not meant to sound like the original. I admire their indie pop take on an iconic grunge song.

Wow... That was totally awesome.. That sax kills it.. So awesome..

i really love this

one of the best bands covering one of the best songs!! hell yee!

This is so good🎉❤

This is one of the best covers I've heard. Fantastic. And the fact that it has a different haunt to it altogether is just insane. I have good reason to believe Kurt Cobain would have loved this.

Those two moments when Tom gasped were amazing. Fitted so beautifully with the song.

No surprise in the comment section, people still not understanding what a cover is. I could bet these same people didn't even grow up listening to Nirvana but instead just heard about them when they were 16 because it was cool.

Wow amazing , was not prepared for how good this was.

This is really beautiful and sad. Thank you Big Scary what an amazing job.

Love this very original take on this song. Superb.

Hear it for the First time. Its So amazing. Thanks guys

This cover is a gold standard as far as covers go. Well done. Killed it. Did Nirvana proud.

Good cover. Haunting.

So graceful xxx

What lovely voices.

Killed it guys. Amazing.

THE EPITOME OF LIKE A VERSION. SOLID.

Great finesse on the sax. Hits all the spots. Doesnt step on anyone's toes.

This is one hell of a good interpretation of that song. I've heard some covers where people butcher it by changing the song way too much, this really did the song some unique justice without taking the soul out of it. I'm really impressed by this.

Hauntingly great!

Love it

This is amazing, genius, the band really put some effort into it. Nice.

Beautiful.

I love it

I was hypnotized by this cover. That sax....yum!!!!

it is a great and original cover!

this captures the feeling of the 90's as a broody teenager 💜 Kurt captured our hearts its a beautiful cover

WOW! THAT WAS AMAZING!!! BRAVO👏👏👏

Was very nice when they both sang together make me a bit sad but very enjoyable thnks the saxophone was a nice touch

When that sax hits 🔥

Fantastic cover this one. You can really feel the passion with the musicians and it respects the original.

That was AMAZING!

I really liked this take on a true classic!

I dig it!

so freaking good!
