10 Recent Indie-Rock Covers You'll Never Go Back From

The fact that this is a cover could be the only thing holding it back from being the perfect Bond song that never was. Sure, the original remains an upbeat, playful tune that's as nostalgic as it is catchy. That doesn't stop Nothing But Thieves from completely transforming it into something truly special.

It all stems from them slowing it down substantially, giving the lyrics room to breathe and their sinister nature to come out. This gives lead vocalist Conor Mason a lot to work with, showing off his vocal range in a performance that's powerful and haunting in equal measure. His intensity and passion bleed through the entire cover, with the band repeatedly teasing an explosion of sound throughout the song. And when they finally deliver, it's chilling to the bone.

This dark and twisted take on Gnarls Barkley's Crazy doesn't only give us a version that's refreshingly unique, but also one that's impressively cinematic. When listening to it, one can't help picturing someone on the brink of insanity, constantly wrestling with voices in their head until they finally let it all out. Indeed, failing to use this on the silver screen might just be one of Hollywood's biggest missed opportunities.
