She's been good for quite a while, and has been getting better along with the rest of the band. They've become one of goto's along with several of their collaboration buddies.
Improved is an understatement, it's almost like a completely different singer, more confident and delivering more punch and drive to her performance. I used to think she was the weakest link of the band before, now I'm super impressed.
Finally! Finally a tune which really demonstrates the incredible talent of this group. Every time you publish something new it seems to raise the bar. Keep it up!!
Audra, just outstanding performance!! I've been a fan of Audra's singing - and the entire band - for a couple of years now. I think what's missing in a lot of songs is Audra just letting loose on the vocals - because she definitely can. This is a great example of when she does. Audra, you have an AMAZING talent; please keep letting it free like you did here. As always, you guys as a band rock!!!
She is like a dual threat quarterback. Power and presentation. Don't have to be the best at both but the combination will carry the day. She and the band are incredible.
The first time I heard this Cover, I remember thinking "oh my gosh, if Audra starts singing that high pitched, I don't think she'll be able to climax the highest treble..." But she did it. Now, a year later, I celebrate it with amazement.
"What's Up?" 25 years and my life is still Tryin' to get up that great big hill of hope For a destination I realized quickly when I knew I should That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man For whatever that means And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed Just to get it all out what's in my head And I, I am feeling a little peculiar And so I wake in the morning and I step outside And I take a deep breath and I get real high And I scream from the top of my lungs "What's going on?" And I say, hey-ey-ey Hey-ey-ey I said "Hey, a-what's going on?" And I say, hey-ey-ey Hey-ey-ey I said "Hey, a-what's going on?" Ooh, ooh Ooh Ooh, uh huh Ooh, ooh Ooh Ooh, uh huh And I try Oh my God, do I try I try all the time In this institution And I pray Oh my God, do I pray I pray every single day For revolution And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed Just to get it all out, what's in my head And I, I am feeling a little peculiar And so I wake in the morning and I step outside And I take a deep breath and I get real high And I scream from the top of my lungs "What's going on?" And I say, hey-ey-ey Hey-ey-ey I said "Hey, what's going on?" And I say, hey-ey-ey Hey-ey-ey I said "Hey, a-what's going on?" And I say, hey-ey-ey (Wake in the morning and step outside) Hey-ey-ey (Take a deep breath and I get real high) (And I scream) I said "Hey, a-what's going on?" And I say, hey-ey-ey (Wake in the morning and step outside) Hey-ey, yeah yeah yeah (Take a deep breath and I get real high) (And I scream) I said "Hey, a-what's going on?" Ooh, ooh Ooh Ooh, uh huh 25 years and my life is still Tryin' to get up that great big hill of hope For a destination, mmm
One of the most iconic songs of our era. Glad to see the magic being kept alive by one of my favorite bands! Thank you guys for always giving me something to listen to while I study!
That little bit of gravel in Audra's voice, it really makes this song. This song really shows off her range and talent too. The musical arrangement is spot on too. Great work all round guys
I've seen and heard pro singers slip off in the tricky,angular intervals of this song,this girl totally nails the rendition with her perfect-pitched, angelical voice..simply BRAVO!!!
I haven't listened to you guys in about a year and I can't believe how much better y'all sound now. Great cover of one of my all time favorite songs!!!
That was simply amazing! The acoustics were unbelievable and Audra’s vocals were fabulous! Saw you the first time at the TriC High School Rock Off and knew from that day that you were all something special. Have listened ever since both the covers and your own original stuff as Concrete Castles! Keep the jams coming. Great Job F211!
It brings out the best qualities of everyone in the band, imo, and I like how any effects are sparser. They always do an amazing job, the more naturally they perform, imo!!! 🥰💙
This is one of those songs that I wound up getting sick of when it came out and would usually turn it off. But now whenever I hear it I get super nostalgic and make a point to listen to the whole thing lol. Great cover and Audra absolutely smashed it. 💥💥💥💯
Be proud of yourself. You're doing good., You're doing your best. That thing you're facing will pass... You'll be happy again. Keep it up okay, I'm proud of you for making it this far in today's standards and society
I just found your channel and I've been binge watching your videos. When I saw this song I thought....uh oh, she's covering Linda Perry? That's pretty risky cuz Linda's voice is incredible, having said that you killed this vocally. It's pretty awesome to see you guys do any genre and do it well.
Twenty-five years and my life is still Trying to get up that great big hill of hope For a destination And i realized quickly when i knew i should That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man For whatever that means And so i cry sometimes When i'm lying in bed Just to get it all out What's in my head And i am feeling a little peculiar And so i wake in the morning And i step outside And i take a deep breath and i get real high And i scream at the top of my lungs What's going on? And i say. hey hey hey hey I said hey. what's going on? And i say. hey hey hey hey I said hey. what's going on? Ooh. ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh And i try. oh my god do i try I try all the time. in this institution And i pray. oh my god do i pray I pray every single day For a revolution And so i cry sometimes When i'm lying in bed Just to get it all out What's in my head And i am feeling a little peculiar And so i wake in the morning And i step outside And i take a deep breath and i get real high And i scream at the top of my lungs What's going on?

lets all admit Aunim Audra is the best singer out there im planning on taking them classes of theres but im all the way in washington state kinda lowkey wish i was in Erie PA even if i do visit eire ill for sure learn how to do everything one by one starting with matts skills lol (I can somewhat play the last of us theme on guitar using my index middle and ring fingers)
I'm so impressed with your band. I listen to all your music and prefer much of your songs to the originals. Good music, beautiful vocals, everyone is good to look at. You all have it going on thank you for sharing with us all.
Wow! Definitely one of your best performances! What a great song to show your true vocal range and potential. The falsetto and that high range rasp! I’m definitely more a fan today than I was before but have always been a fan! Keep pushing yourself, you’re killing it.
So very awesome!!!! I am really enjoying starting to listen to you guys. Your wonderful videos just prove that there is a portion of the world who could care less about seeing more than the great incredible simplicity of watching the performers perform! No fluff, no crazy stuff (yet :) just the raw vision! Keep it up & keep working those originals too! We're all waiting for more :)
Soo Good! Just brought me back to the 90s when I was a pup. My sister and mom would both be getting ready in our one little bathroom with my room on the other side.. we had a little aiwa boom box cassette player on the toilet haha
