Bring Me The Horizon - Sleepwalking (Acoustic Cover) by Ahana Banerjee
Back with another BMTH acoustic cover this weekend! This time, I’m taking on Bring Me The Horizon's "Sleepwalking". This song has some screaming, which I didn't dare attempt, so here's my attempt at improvising :)
Startup life can make it tough to find time for hobbies, but I’ve been making an effort to reconnect with things I love outside of work - like music! I’m definitely no pro musician, just a founder having a bit of fun and shaking off the day. So please excuse the mistakes; this is just me, unplugged and unwinding.
And if you’re a fellow founder trying to find time for your own creative outlets, I’d love to hear about it! Let me know if you’d like to see more, and thanks for coming along for the ride. 🎶

Back with another acoustic cover! This time, I’m taking on Bring Me The Horizon's "Follow You". I was obsessed with this whole album from BMTH in my senior year of high school, so playing this song brings back a lot of memories :) Startup life can make it tough to find time for hobbies, but I’ve been making an effort to reconnect with things I love outside of work - like music!

I want to start Accutane journey please tell which dose should i start with
What was your post accutane skincare routine. How did you get rid of stubborn dark blemishes after purging
You can see exactly which products I use in my morning and evening routine from my profile on the Clear app. It's free and my username is @ahanabanana. getclearapp.com/download/download.html
1 month already ,n my side effct is dryness and joint pain, back pain 😢
Sorry to hear. Those are common side effects though, so don't worry.
Request Blink 182 - Ben Wah Balls
I don't think the world is ready for my Ben Wah Balls cover 😂
Deep cut. Blink was the reason I picked up a guitar. Enema of the State is basically my fav album.
blink was the reason I started playing music too. My favs are Untitled, Enema, and TOYPAJ. I can't pick between them 🙈
@@AhanaBanerjee yes those are the best, I think Enema and Take off for me, then Self titled, simply because I consider Enema and Take off the official Blink sound. They definitely improved so much after their first demos/chesire cat Lol
@@heythere6983 Agreed :). What do you think of the new album (One More Time...)?
@@AhanaBanerjee I think the best song is one more time on there. To me the album is mostly forgettable, its not bad for a punk vibe to have in the background but I dont feel captivated by the music, it doesnt feel big or impactful like the other albums in their past. I do think their production quality on those 3 albums we mentioned were a very big part of their sound, their producer used to help them write their songs and polish their sound. Thankfully good music never ages so I still listen to those albums with the same level of enjoyment as when I first heard them. What about you?
@@heythere6983 Yeah, the new album doesn't hit the way the old ones did for me. I was so emotional about them getting back together and seeing them live last year, and I wanted it to make me feel the way the old ones did, but I think that's probably an unfair and unrealistic expectation to have. My fav song on the new album is probably Terrified because I also loved BCR, and it has that sorta sound to it. I think I just crave the nostalgia because blink was such a big part of my teenage years haha. Thankfully I can also never get bored of their old music though :)
How long have you been taking it?
I was on accutane for 5.5 months
Hello mam If we stop it will come again ?
You must finish the course your derm prescribes. It doesn't come back for 80% of patients
This is such an underrated song. Great job!
Thanks! I love this whole album
Most of the time i took accutane on empty stomach so do you think its going to hinder the effectiveness?
@@itsnobody1329 yes, it could, as it needs fat to be absorbed
Does it help with rough skin surface and comodones.Almost been a month on accutane....
@@itsnobody1329 it helped with reducing the number of spots and subsequent scarring so yes overall my skin texture was massively improved
This is amazing! Please make more videos like this
@@SahilRevankar-xz3bk thank you! A few more coming 😊
I only knew two girls in high school who took acutane both suffered from EXTREME fertility issues later in life. One couldn’t have children at all and one tried for years before succeeding with IVF. Be careful with that poison, you’re gorgeous ♥️
@@GaiaJenda that’s scary… but thank you for sharing! 😳
Hey Ahana ! I am on accutane right now and have been purging. Did you use specific skin care to prevent hyperpigmentation? I’ve just been using a moisturiser to help with the dryness!
@@divyaravi6545 I used alpha arbutin and vitamin c - you can see the exact ones I used in my diary on the Clear skincare app xx
I just started mine today. May God help us all acne girls. Amin
@@Hillz6 good luck!
got it prescriptions today 🙏 if my severe acne isn’t atleast made more manageable i will be complaining 🫠
Me tooo first day
@@Hillz6i’m starting mine after the new year 🙏 on steroids right now with my current meds
Good luck!!
I don't know which I like better, the nervous part or when you got over being nervous and started really getting into it
@@michaelmeabon3489 😅
i have such severe acne (my mum has a skin condition that has been passed down to me in the form of harsh acne-and when i say severe and harsh oh lord i mean it) and i’m at such a lost end with it. Tomorrow i’ll be going to the dermatologist, and i’ve seen so much about going on the combined pill or isotretinoin but like i see so many negatives about both. i know that tret won’t completely cure it and can do things to you liver etc and i also know the combined pill can mess up your hormones if you come off it. ahhhh this is so frustrating 🧍♀️🫠
Hey I'm about to start Accutane and I'm little nervous by reading all the negative reviews. Can u please tell me about ur skin conditions currently? Is ur skin still dry? Can u use makeup products now? Can u take facial treatments from parlour now ( for extra glow) ?
Hi! Accutane honestly changed my life for the better. My skin is back to normal (not dry anymore), and I used makeup during accutane and still do after. I don't do (and never did) facials x
@AhanaBanerjee Thanks a lot. May God bless u 🙏🏻
@@sharmistha001 No problem. Good luck ❣
Darling am on 20mg for 3½ months can l change my dosage from 20 to 40
You need to check with your dermatologist. Everyone's treatment plan is different x
Great job Ahana Banerjee, keep shine😘
🤗
Was your acne hormonal??
Not sure - it's hard to say
How to consume it rightly and with what type of food?
Take it with food and ideally with healthy fats for better absorption (e.g. peanut butter, salmon, avocado, etc.)
@AhanaBanerjee how long does the purging state lasts. Mine is very bad right now
What dose were you on?
Started on 20mg and ended on 60mg
Did u do any blood test or did he prescribe it straight away ??
Yes, I did blood tests before my derm appointment. My derm reviewed my blood test results before making the prescription
Wait a min this is actually so good!!
Thanks haha :D
Do you know anything about micronized isotretinoin capsules?😊
No sorry!
Will the side effects go away
They did for me!
Did you purge when you started topical retinoids after Accutane
Nope!
is it getting bad? i’m scared this is my second round i don’t want it anymore
Nope, my skin has stayed clear. I get the odd period breakout and this was a short bout of bacterial folliculitis
Found your covers trough some of your Blink 182 videos. Really like this stuff!
Thank you!
So you were set from the start? We average guys stand no chance 😂
Just came across your channel, wow you are in great shape lol. Your singing tone makes me feel like you listened to alot of pop punk growin up. I also sing and play guitar. I had that style of singing for a while too, its like it gets ingrained into the listener. I always enjoy watching someone just enjoy music like this, thanks
Thank you! And yes hahah I did indeed listen to a lot of pop punk growing up :D
OMG your video just appears randomly for me (probably algorith seems that I searched a lot for ADTR in the past), and I ADORE ITTTT SO MUCHHHH, OMG, I'm happy you post it :) thank you
Thank you, that’s very kind 😊❤
What will happen to the acne spots cause by the purging ?
@@jenniferabedin5854 mine went away naturally after 2 weeks
How you controlled acne marks on accutane
@@mirzahaider7080 consistent skincare routine. You can see what I used on my app Clear
Ayy nxdia audio 😌✨😤
Whats the dosage
ASK your doctor dude
Lol I'm not going to take her dosage, just curious what dosage is used to achieve those results.
I started on 20mg/ day, and ended on 60mg/ day on my fifth month. Everyone's dosage is caculated differently based on your body weight, whether you purge, and severity of acne
you're a musician the moment you grab a guitar and start playing, keep it up!
🤗
i love mgk! very nice btw
Thank you! I like him too :)
How long have you been taking it? Please let me know
I was on accutane for 5.5 months, and came off 6 months ago
It seem like accutane fade away scar and pigmentation??
It does a bit. Mine isn't fully gone, but is mostly gone
@ soo it does fade away scar and pigmentation but not fully ?? Do you using another cream for scar and pigmentation ??
@@ghulamabbasbayad6208 I used vitamin C serum and alpha arbutin serum, but I don't know how effective they were. I think accutane was mostly responsible for the changes
Have you experienced hair loss and hair thinning with accutane? I only took 10 pills that too on alternate days and I'm experiencing extreme hair loss, my hair never fell this much before 😭 I think it's something related to teloge effluvium or something.
I'm so sorry to hear you're experiencing this. I personally didn't experience any hair loss on accutane - I think it's best you speak to your derm about this.
Uk when u upload a video like this tell the solution too ig seems like u want clout so bad that u want people to check ur channel and find answer and that is why i dont trust people like you, who tell a incomplete story. Now women how ur acne get fixed lemme guess it was just a acne phase, they have gone on their own.
I don't fully understand your comment, but I'm upset that you think I upload videos for "clout". I suffered with cystic acne for over ten years, and am extremely transparent about my acne journey, what worked for me, and what didn't. I am not an influencer. I do not get paid or sponsored to promote anything. I am honest about the fact that after trying numerous products, medications and diets, only accutane worked for me, and I tracked the whole journey with progress pictures.
Is it likely to return again in the future?
It does not return for 80% of patients.
It came back for me :( So it really depends on you individually
I have been taking it for three months. How long to eat?
However long your derm prescribed!
Darling it's almost 2 months half I have been on Accutane but it's not showing any results🙃
It takes a different amount of time for everyone. Be patient and finish the course your derm prescribes :)
second week and im starting to have cystic acne for real 😮💨😪
You're probably purging too. It will pass :)
Looking adorable …❤
Thanks!
🫶🏻❤️…
I take for 5 months and i missed my period 2 months
Oh no! You should tell your derm.
