X Ambassadors - Blinding Lights (The Weeknd Cover) 

I really can't understand why so many people still be sleeping on THIS TALENT... what an artist, what a cover, chills!!!

Nobody is sleeping. I’m a single mom that doesn’t get out much. I watched him live. I drove 2.5hrs to get there. Showed up ticketless and managed to get in last minute. I will forever love the way his voice rings in my soul. And the way it echoed on the city buildings that night, my nose was frozen! But in that moment my spirit was on fire.

I'm so blessed to know that this band exists

man turned this song into a journey

There's some magic in that voice for sure..

This version makes me appreciate the lyrics of the song so much more than the original ❤

This is gorgeous. Totally different vibe, it's like the Weekend's version is the one you listen to as you're headed out getting hyped for your night, and this is the version you listen to when you're laying in bed at the end of your night.

a perfect example of how to do a cover, yet make the song your own. wow. unreal. same words, completely different feeling. perfect.

How is it possible to make such a beautiful song even more beautiful, but haunting at the same time? 😢

Just commenting again so when someone likes this comment I will have another reason to listen to it again

My ears and thoughts have been blessed today

As a musician this version brought tears to my eyes for the simple, bare, emotion he brings to the song.

A minimalistic and intimate version that gives a sadder feeling of miss and loneliness, a masterpiece 😍

This song is just what I needed to sooth my soul. Just done so beautifully.

I’m walking down the aisle to this song in less than a week!! It’s going to be absolutely magical

Man, your voice gives goosebumps in the right places.

Wow I love how they made it more emotional.

It's the way he plucks each string for me

This is the version we didn’t know we needed but so glad that we got....loved every moment of this

It's incredible how much he was able to make this song X Ambassadorich

His vocal control is incredible from the first note to the last 👏

Wow. Just plain wow. His version clicked. Very grateful for his 😮 gift to us😊

I just discovered the x ambassadors and im hooked.. Sending love from Kenya🇰🇪🇰🇪💞

In tears. Such a tender version.

I really love X Ambassadors, they make everything feel better so matter how much it hurts

I just watched the film "The Call of the Wild". During the illegible ending credits a song played.. and I found it... X Ambassadors - Great Unknown! How blessed I am to now be aware of this amazing band/singer.

This song tears me up, I’ve been in the same relationship for 13 years. I’ve loved this woman more than life itself but as time has gone on, we’ve grown distant and walk through our home like strangers on most days. We’ve done the counseling and the talking, we’re having a hard time making the decision that leads to the unknown. We want to love each other, but it’s just not there anymore. This song just killed me the first time I heard it, because I need someone. I’m tired of being alone in my own home.

wait i didn’t realise how underrated they were till i saw the comments, how do people not know them??

Men he turned this into a movie soundtrack. Mind officially blown

The way he sang this song made me want to tear up so fast. The emotion behind it. The words wrapped around the lighting of the morning skies. Loved it. One of my favorite songs and now by one of my favorite bands. 💜

He just started singing and tears came to my eyes😭😭ur voice is magic❣️

They really made the song their own. Love both of the versions!

mad that this guy is one of the most successful songwriters and barely gets any recognition

I didn't realize how much I need this version in my life...

It's times like these I'm thankful for RU-vid recommendations. This covers adds such depth and melancholy to the song!

Gosh, this voice gives me chills. This guy is a pure talent I wish i could sing like this

Never clicked so fast in my life

Me da escalofríos cuando este hombre maravilloso canta....ME ENCANTA!!

no auto tune just pure voice👌

You can feel every pluck of each string and his voice gives meaning to every lyric

It's been a while since I've heard these guys. This song takes me back to when I first heard them, while driving down a stretch of I81 in New York state heading home from a weekend down state for work. The memories are worth it

His voice gives me the chills. So beautiful.

I am completely addicted to his voice. He makes it hard to choose a favorite. But mine would be Unsteady.

I love this version. It makes this song so much deeper.

His voice is so amazing! It’s been years since I first heard his voice but I will never tire of it!

the song sounds like you're escaping, running away from your past. the past where you have hurt the person you love the most. along the way, you truly realize you lost the one you trust the most in this entire wide world.

Lyrics: Yeah I've been tryna call I've been on my own for long enough Maybe you can show me how to love, maybe I'm going through withdrawals You don't even have to do too much You can turn me on with just a touch, baby I look around and Sin City's cold and empty (Oh) No one's around to judge me (Oh) I can't see clearly when you're gone I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch I said, ooh, I'm drowning in the night Oh, when I'm like this, you're the one I trust Hey, hey, hey I'm running out of time 'Cause I can see the sun light up the sky So I hit the road in overdrive, baby, oh The city's cold and empty (Oh) No one's around to judge me (Oh) I can't see clearly when you're gone I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch I said, ooh, I'm drowning in the night Oh, when I'm like this, you're the one I trust I'm just calling back to let you know (Back to let you know) I could never say it on the phone (Say it on the phone) Will never let you go this time (Ooh) I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch Hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch

This is the version where they show that you can actually play a song with the same lyrics but a whole different feelings and meaning!

What an amazing cover….wow

Voice you can hear again and again… and feel like you are in better world, full of dreams and hope❤

Sentimos de várias forma tudo àquilo que agente tem certeza que o perfeito não pode mais além. Mas aí tá a prova de que a perfeição e renovável sim. 👏👏👏👏

WOW sends chills, makes me cry. What feeling, what talent. Totally REAL

I love his voice.True talent

A voice so smooth it may as well be velvet, it’s some kind of magic at work. Truly.

X Ambassadors plus The Weeknd song equals I'm crying 👏🏾😭🖤💯

Just stop for a minute and pay some respect to Tyler for filming this. I'm speechless.

How am I only hearing this cover now?😭

You are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! You, your band. Whoever is helping to make this piece of art come together ❤️

Just when I thought I couldn’t love this song any more......

Man, his voice is so powerful. Thank you for sharing your beautiful voice with us🙏

You have taken a song that makes me want to move and turned it into something smooth and magical. Thank you!

Bro, what a beautiful voice! I'm speechless....  

Truly appreciate this version. Thank you.

Absolutely brilliant artist. Best voice I have heard in years. Magnificent version. ❤

What a voice... To be honest I like this cover better than the original. Simply amazing.

I adore and love this man .. I wish I knew him

i prefer this version over the actual song. also very impressed on how you transitioned this piece. almost as if you translated the actual true meaning behind the words expressed. 👏👏👏👏👏 bravo

I'm impressed by how he can work change his tone you are watching it live

Sam!!! You need to release this! I can’t stop listening to this. Your voice gives me chills.

Completely and utterly obsessed with his voice

Gosh I love this band so much 😍

This just became my favorite version of this amazing song....... I will be having on repeat until the end of the day and likely won't grow tired of it!!!!!!!!!

I've been tryin' to call I've been on my own for long enough Maybe you can show me how to love, maybe I'm going through withdrawals You don't even have to do too much You can turn me on with just a touch, baby Sin City's cold and empty No one's around to judge me I can't see clearly when you're gone And I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch I said, ooh, I'm drowning in the night Oh, when I'm like this, you're the one I trust I'm running out of time 'Cause I can see the sun light up the sky So I hit the road in overdrive, baby. The city's cold and empty No one's around to judge me I can't see clearly when you're gone And I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch I said, ooh, I'm drowning in the night Oh, when I'm like this, you're the one I trust

Beautiful man .. beautiful voice .. real ...

Something for eternity! Thank you for making this time bearable!

Absolutely gorgeous! He has such an amazing beautiful voice and the guitar and slowing down of this song gives it such a different sound! He is brilliant!

One word: AWESOME. Please do more like this. And more of your normal. Just more in general.

so much talent 🤍

I am a massive fan of X Ambassadors and The Weeknd! A beautiful, epic version of my favourite song ever!

I love the rawness. Powerful and amazing voice.

I love this version.

Necesito más de esto.🌻💕🌞

They truly are the BEST!

you transmit to me the peace that I need in these days when I no longer need anything

Probably one of the very best versions out there..sings it with such passion..

I could listen to this man sing the phone book.

I first heard this song, this cover last year when I was 800 miles away from my wife. Working on a construction job for months. It was all I could do not to shed tears. The feelings rushed through me like a total wave. Needless to say my wife and I danced to this song alone at my daughter's wedding a few months later.

This is actually the first weeknd cover I actually liked... Still, no one can copy the way he sings, he is a UNIQE artist.

This is not comparable with the original. Both are amazing. But wow.... we need more of these covers from you. The voice, the guitar, the emotion and vibe. I Like it!

I need this on Apple Music 😳🔥🇲🇽

Just beautiful, awesome

*LYRICS* I've been tryin' to call I've been on my own for long enough Maybe you can show me how to love, maybe I'm going through withdrawals You don't even have to do too much You can turn me on with just a touch, baby I look around and Sin City's cold and empty No one's around to judge me I can't see clearly when you're gone And I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch I said, ooh, I'm drowning in the night Oh, when I'm like this, you're the one I trust I'm running out of time 'Cause I can see the sun light up the sky So I hit the road in overdrive, baby, oh The city's cold and empty No one's around to judge me I can't see clearly when you're gone And I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch I said, ooh, I'm drowning in the night Oh, when I'm like this, you're the one I trust I'm just walking by to let you know I could never say it on the phone Will never let you go this time I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch

I’ve never been so glad that this band exists

This brought tears to my eyes, for real

I like this allot more than original.
