My 3 yr old niece passed away the Tuesday after this song. We drove to the hospital to this song playing on triple J not knowing if she would make it. She loved yellow, Emma the yellow wiggle and her mum. I listen to this daily, she was Wakka Wakka. Her spirit - you know we love her so 💕
Rest in peace to your niece and my condolences to you and the rest of your family.
That hurts my heart man
Funeral song perhaps
Condolences to you and your family 🙏
Love you man
Thank you triple j! 💛💛💛
Holy shit you guys have made my day! I've decided I'm not working and just listening to this on repeat 😍😍💖 Thank youuuu
Bloody amazing! Nice work guys
Transcendent!
yall crushed
Turned my whole day around. This is brilliant! Well done
I never knew how good a Banjo and a Didgeridoo sounded together
Triple J out here dropping life changing moments like it's no big deal. Pretty sure King Stingray laid down one of the best LAVs of all time.
That's Cap 🧢
Did you hear the same shit i did?
@Sam Bent we did and we loved it

The band is great but need to ditch the singer, his voice is flat and out of tune. He is no Gurrumul. It’s a shame there are so many people out there with a hearing deficit. Seriously people.
This band has the potential to be really significant in Australian culture. All the best fellas.
They already are 🥰
I think it should be farther than AUS
they are the nephews of yothu yindi, who sung treaty back in 1990
This shook me to the core and made me cry, geez that was sensational. Makes me very proud to be Indigenous 🔴🟡⚫️
Go see a shrink dude
How good aye!
@@tacituskilgore8012 I’m not indigenous, just from the NT and it has the same effect on me. Maybe I need to see a shrink too…or maybe you don’t connect much with anything in your life :)
@@Pettycrimes13 also change your profile picture save people from having to look at that smashed crab of a head you have going on
Same here. Hard to describe in words but Yirrŋa’s voice made me cry. Thanks King Stingray for something beautiful
This is bang on what a cover should be. Not just an identical cover, but creating something entirely artistically new while retaining the basics of the original. Not to sound like a douche but this is art!
if there was ever a marriage between Good tingling feels + proud Australian culture + raw talent = this would be it. Incredibly emotional and inspiring.
Old mate just slayed banjo, bass and backing vocals no worries. The lead vocals have such a different timbre to Coldplay but executed so fucking well. And all the harmonies are there on guitars and vox.. so good!
First few minutes of this cover makes me cry every time. This was my introduction to King Stingray and now I’m super excited for the rest of their album to drop.
damn when he started singing i was actually blown away.. so pleasantly surprised by this
Drummer absolutely sent it
In an era where everyone is trying to sound like someone else, this is soo authentic and genuine. Amazing cover. The lead singer has potential to be an all time great frontman if he stays true to himself.
💯🥁🔥🔥🔥
This is a cover of a song. Sorry bub
Correct me.if im wrong but its his blood, his gurramals nephew? Apologies for spelling and if im wrong
@@Delgod598I think old mates point is they take a unique sound to the cover. Not generic coked up fitzroy trash like they usually put on LAV
Wouldn't it be nice to say something supportive and complimentary about someone without feeling you had to insult others in the process?
Wow, well this was a ridiculously good cover to stumble across. King Stingray have got themselves a new fan right here.
The best cover of Yellow I’ve heard. I’m so proud of my new fav Aussie Band. I’m 62. They get into my soul singing and chanting in language. Hearing Yidaki (Didg) is the only sound I heard overseas that made me think of home. These guys rock!!
Definitely going to be in my Hottest 100 votes this year! ❤️
Just a shout out to the engineers doing the mix. These Like a Versions always sound great
This guys voice. The way he holds the note at the end of the line . What Aus music has been missing. Unmistakably Australian
These guys just opened for midnight oils second last show in Canberra and honestly, midnight oil are legendary there's no question, but I was shocked at how amazing these guys and their indigenous funky rock sound are. They rocked everyones socks off live! And yet I never knew they could be this soft and touching too! Will definitely be following them, would love to see them live again!
I'm still getting goosebumps after watching it for the fifth time. Damn this is good.
Initial impression was it was like an American Idol audition and the singer had only heard the lyrics once or twice. But something hooked me, I can't get enough. Just pure good vibes
I don’t know how but this version made me really emotional. Send them to freaking Eurovision or something 😱
Me too had it on in the car on the way home from work and it just took me right to a place of mourning for those I’ve lost ! Turned it up and just sang along crying . I’m sure at the lights ppl wondered wtf I was up too Exceptional cover in my opinion❤😢
Surely we can start a movement for them to get on eurovision.
Goosebumps, Goosebumps all over. Wow!!
These guys need to go on Australia’s got talent, they will smoke everyone!
Proud to be Australian listening to this 💪
This song stopped me in my tracks. In tears. So damn beautiful. Thank you.
First time I'm heard this I was in Busselton, Western Australia sitting amongst the Ghost Tree's while the Sun was Rising on a Friday Morning... This was actually such a beautiful experience, Just feeling the warmth of the early morning sun and just listening to this was absolute magic.
this is it boys, you've made your part in history, jesus well bloody done fellas, well done
I love this cover so much, what I am about to say has nothing really to do with the song but I feel like It might help someone where I was once, I was once someone who looked down on Indigenous Australians I had this image in my head of a people who were lazy and unwilling to change or move forward, not willing to take the opportunities provided to them, oh how stupid and naive I was brainwashed by a narrative that still persists to this day, that this is all there is, or this is the best there is, and what we have now what we have accomplished is what matters, a good job a good education a nice house, big cars, and fancy things, I once had this idea that it was only land taken, Indigenous Australians died but that is just history.
by chance, I ended up spending some time in the northern territory and met this lovely Indigenous Australian gentleman, he helped me in more ways than I can express, He opened my eyes to the true nature of our world to a real sense of spirituality that I had never experienced in my life, to disconnect and listen to the resonant sound the sound of the earth as it is a living breathing organism infinite in its wonder, how Indigenous Australians see the land truly changed me and has influenced my life and who I have become their connection, and spirituality to all living things, I realized that everything I had in my life and valued was dead things, and here I was looking down on this man when we first met, we talked a lot I learned what was lost cannot be easily fixed by money by houses cars modern-day civilization "opportunity", as horrible as the genocide was and the stolen generation and the endless cycles of poverty struggle destitution a loss of identity, to have your sense of purpose to have your connection to nature severed and then be told to get over it, for many years for many generations, its more than just land, it is their home, their everything theirs laws and spirituality are intertwined with the land this formed their culture the health and wellbeing of the earth and the land they stood on, the trauma is deeper than I could have ever imagined the struggles they face to pull yourself out of despair and apathy it is not an easy task, and throwing money at a problem and expecting it be to fixed is no way to solve a problem, I am sorry for how I onced perceived a fellow human who was a much better person than I could have ever dreamed of being.
This individual once told me that he would like to be respected as a person as valued as a fellow human being, to be looked at by a stranger and think that is a man I can trust, and unfortunately not too many people in Australia would view an Indigenous Australian in that light, I hope I can help change things with you, my old friend.
Thank you so much for sharing this. Your words hold so much honor and truth and wisdom.
You got the education we all need. This is the realist talk there is.
What a special person to meet; one that would take the time to open your eyes heart and soul. Should we all be so lucky in our lifetime, to be touched by such a person. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for adding this comment, much appreciated and refreshing to read!
I stopped my workout to read this. I’m moved by your story and I thank you.
However, I do see an alarming issue with the origins of your enlightenment and newfound appreciation of a group of people.
Please correct me if i’m wrong but it seems that meeting one Indigenous person that impressed you and finding out about the Indigenous people’s terrible struggle and that it was worse than you thought are the key or only, reasons that drove you to change your view.
In other words, the Indigenous people are suddenly graced by your respect not because you’ve learned that United we win and divided we lose or that you have learned to forgive or that you have learned to give everybody a chance before you hate them but because you’ve now discovered they’ve suffered enough for your liking.
This concerns me, sir. I hope you are being good to the people around you, especially other minorities/less lucky ones.
That being said, I’m really happy to hear you’ve progressed your soul into a more loving place
KingStingray's rebirth of "Yellow" so so beautiful ✌️🤘
My 71 year old uncle absolutely loves this cover.
Your music reaches far 💛
Had this on in the car on the way home from work and it just took me right to a place of mourning for those I’ve lost ! Turned it up and just sang along crying . I’m sure at the lights ppl wondered wtf I was up too Exceptional cover in my opinion❤😢love it for different reasons they nailed it.
Beyond stunning, mesmerising..... I thought I was listening to George Rrurrambu and my soul soared. That vocal is one of the greatest ever, thank you
His voice carries. No mean feat, to stand there and deliver like that. Not an oasis song, but even Liam Gallagher, and his tambourine, would give a subtle nod in appreciation to this, I’m sure of it. This is a coming out party. Channeling a muse with deeper roots than anywhere else on earth. Walking a line of such meek authenticity, it breaks your fucking heart, let’s it scar over, and beat anew. There’s no coming back from this. Not a more awe inspiring, paradoxically expressive monotone has graced the Australian airwaves, any airwaves, in a long time. Thankyou.
I'm crying 😭😭 this is SO good ! King Stingray is eternal !!! 💖💖💖
Wasn’t sure what to expect. This gave me chills !!
How good is this?! Love how he stayed low, made it emotional like the original but on a whole different level, very well done boy’s 🖤💛♥️
This is easily the best like a version of 2022, could be one of the best of all time
You're drunk.
Went roadtripping through Australia, heard their song Camp Dog on Triple J there and it became the song I associate mostly with my best trip of my life❤️ Love this version of Yellow, keep rocking guys!
That's awesome, cool story! Happy you got to experience my people and my country! Please come back!
One of my favourite Like A Version's ever! His voice is stunning and it's an incredible interpretation of the song. I loved the beginning and the end. Just amazing!
These guys will be legends.
Best Like a Version of all time, no contest 🙌🏻💛💛💛💛💛💛
This was mental good . Such a beautiful flavour and boy Mr drummer man and lead vocals absolutely killed it
Stunning phrasing. Such a powerful, affecting voice. Love King Stingray.
‘Phrasing’? 😬There was no phrasing you idiot. He was just yelling. You have no idea what you’re talking about, just regurgitating a term you heard.
Driving home yesterday I heard this performed at Splendour in the Grass via triplej and instant goosebumps, hairs stood up on the back of my neck and tears just streamed from my eyes. I had this incredible emotional music moment. I was like WHO is this!?!?! 💖
Love this all Aussie cover of Yellow that includes the didgeridoo and clap sticks in the ensemble and a wonderful singer , it’s a massive thumbs up 👍🏼 from me.
As a Coldplay fan, this is a really nice twist to the original. Vocals are on point as well.
Wouldn’t be many times a didgeridoo has been played with a banjo. Unreal cover. It has an ancient vibe mixed with the now. Gives me hope.
Props to the ABC captioning team for captioning both languages. And an awesome cover.
Went in expecting a disaster, replayed again immediately. What an interpretation.
Why lmao
@@prod6mill.512 Pictorial proof of said "lmao" required or it didn't happen. ;)
I could honestly just listen to an endless loop of that intro ❤️
Old mate throws his pick away coz ya smashed it! Just great guys, love hearing our first people's language too. Fantastically Beautiful 😍
Thank you to the artists for performing this live and explaining your story. This song and band are both parts my of icons of Australian history.
At 39 I was finally able to see Coldplay live in Atlanta a couple of weeks ago. After 20 years of listening to this song, the jobs you guys did with this were absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with the world!!!
Goosebumps 💛 I don’t keep up with the JJJs these days but I stumbled across it as the OG was played at my besties funeral a few weeks ago. It’s already an incredible song but this LAV is just ace. Thank you x
Could be the greatest Like A Version of ALL TIME!
Maynmak
That’s the best like a version on record right there
WOW! I saw you guys last night on TV at the Opera House and I just had to look this up!! What a credit to all of you. This is what music is all about, taking a great classic song and making it your own. Thank you boys and thank you triple j for giving artists this platform.
One of my favourite LaVs ever too. Truely what LaV is all about! I had goose bumps from start to finish and a huge smile on my face. I love the many meanings behind the choice too. Thanks King Stingray and Tripple J.
This is just incredible. Goosebumps.
This is absolutly pure brilliance. 🖤💛❤
Absolute chills!! Holy moly!
The way the melody sounds now imperfect cadences are used, thats genius. He’s amazing
These blokes are awesome. We've had the Warrumpi Band, Yothu Yindi, Geoffrey Gurrumil now these blokes. We have some amazing indigenous talent in this country!
Already commented on this, but i played this to my dad… he said this is how bob dylan would have done this. The way the melody is changed is very dylan-esque! Cant stop listening to it!!
So true actually!! Makes me appreciate it even more now, thank you!
@@gongandfriends dylan has written soo many songs for current artists, too. Love finding out that a song youve loved for years was written by another artist that you like. Recently found out that Jim Steinman wrote Total eclipse of the heart for Meatloaf, but he turned it down! At least thats what i heard. I could be wrong :p
Wow 😪❤️
I'm from the United States, and when this came on my shuffle I thought it was a country song until I noticed the didgeridoo. The way this band combines instruments, styles, cultures in this cover is so beautiful, and it's deeply moving. This is healing music
I got really choked up listening to this. Absolutely the best cover of Yellow. By far the best Like a Version
This is amazing. What a brilliant medium to show the world old music.
Wow! That was so amazing! Now that's what I call a version, not a cover! Such a great rendition of this classic! I loved the little changes in the melody, they made it so unique.
I keep coming back to listen again and again.
What a gem,fantastic vocals and the band is ace.Cold play would love this version.
This is the greatest Triple J cover ever
Changes the whole feel of the song and I like it, it's uplifting and celebratory.
Goosebumps, tears...just WOW
What is this journey I've been taken on..... simply speechless.... wow
One of the best ever Like a Versions! Up there with Fall at Your Feet
It’s not everyday that a cover is better than the original
It is now‼️‼️‼️❤️❤️✌️
U are deaf, this guy cannot sing. If he was white he would not get this attention. Go listen to Gurrumul, who really had a beautiful voice.
Well said 🖤💛♥️
When the Planets align magic happens. They definitely were on this day!!! Magic! Best version ever and makes me proud to be an Australian seeing two cultures combine to produce this classic.
💯
This song came alive inside my blood and bones !! I am alive !! it's sensational
King Stingray keep creating and giving us your amazing talent
I heard this on the radio this morning while taking my son to work and have just watched the video. This has to be up there with the very best Like a Versions. The original song is good but this is next level.
Absolutely fucking fantastic cover, it really stirs up some emotions. Perfect 🤘🏻
Wasn't sure about this in the beginning but it was downright spiritual by the end. Incredibly moving and I have no idea what the Yolŋu parts even meant (assuming they weren't translation of OG lyrics). Would love it if someone can translate. One of my favourite LAVs 🙏
Im a 63 year old white fella, and crying my eyes out this has resonated so deeply in me. Thank you for this version my indigenous brothers.
Wow, this gave me chills... Amazing...
Like A Version has the most unique roster of artists and I absolutely love it. I've discovered so much new music!
The subtle differences in the notes he uses against the original make it so special.
Fr almost a whole diff soul to the song, I kinda like it this way more
Honestly my brother!!! Did you just drop a yothu yundi & wurumpi tribute in the same song....?
What a God!
All I can say is OMFG!!
How is it that First Nations voices sound so enlighting add depth too any song, and feel authentic. Oldest continuing culture.
Amazing.. listening to it for the 400th time 💞
Absolutely beautiful!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
first time i hear this song while driving in NT desert, from alice springs to katherine we keep playing this song. it's so good to have such unique vibes song
Just absolutely brilliant cover
Beautiful as always
Absolutely captivating vocal performance
tears not got them on triple J before much love KING stingray ! cried this morning best cover ever
If this doesn't feature, minimum, the top 5 of the hottest 100, it'll be a crime.
Missing the love button CZcams. Kings are the Kings. Beautiful. Just bliss.
Black and white side by side belting out a classic super proud

Wow the best cover I ever heard for Yellow
