American folk pop duo Us The Duo covers Ben&Ben song 'Doors'
American folk pop duo Us the Duo covered Ben&Ben's first-ever international single "Doors."
The couple posted their official cover of the OPM band's song on their YouTube channel, which left the fans and even some members of the band in awe.
Ben&Ben percussionist Andrew De Pano left a comment saying it was "absolutely unreal."
"Thanks for putting in so much love, time, and effort into covering our song. We’ve been fans of yours for so long, and for this to happen is just unthinkable for us," he wrote.
The Duo replied back to Andrew and said, "What's unreal is the song you all wrote! 'Doors' is a bop, and it was an honor for us to cover it!"
"Thanks for coming by the stream and keeping us hype along the way... the bongos make the chorus!" Us The Duo added.
Meanwhile, Miguel Benjamin posted a clip of Us The Duo on Twitter while they were live producing the cover.
"Check out their channel. They're live producing a cover of our song, 'Doors,'" Benjamin tweeted.
On Instagram, Us the Duo also posted a video of their livestream as they covered the Ben&Ben's song.
"We produced and recorded a song called 'Doors' by the wonderful @BenandBenMusic and it's one of our favorite livestream experiences yet! Here’s all of our reactions to the final song on the 10th hour... available now on your favorite streaming platform," Us the Duo said.
Filipino fans of Us The Duo were touched by the couple's song choice for their cover.
"Is this for real? Covering a Filipino band? This just made my day!" a netizen wrote in the comments section.
Prior to the release of "Doors" last April, Ben&Ben said the song is "one of the most personal songs" they have written.
"Doors" is mixed by Grammy Award-winning engineer Miles Walker (Beyonce, Usher, Coldplay, Rihanna) and mastered by Leon Zervos (P!nk, Maroon 5, Beastie Boys, Willy Nelson).
"Us the Duo" is composed of Michael and his wife Filipino-American Carissa Alvarado. —Jannielyn Bigtas/MGP, GMA News
