My brother was a huge The Offspring fan. He passed away a few days ago... I got this cover to be played ay his funerals, he would have loved it. Such a wonderful accoustic version !
I thought no one sings this way nowadays. Everyone always tries to make a cover softer than an original using slow sad melody. And this one sounds really good.
1) idk, Google started as "don't be evil" then they sold waaaaaaaaay out, why anything evil does what it does idk bc I'm pro-humanity and good for good ... 2) beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so too is the aesthetic of harmony. That is a Q you must answer yourself. Self-examination is the key to enlightenment
This is the best cover I have heard of this song to date...I have been an Offspring fan since about 99'. My first album I got from them was Ignition, then Smash and then Americana. I even have a flaming skull logo tattoo.

Pitch perfect. Seriously, haven't found a video that hasn't been yet. Also impressed with how much guitar work you do while vocalising, I have a huge habit of simplifying the shit outta things when I'm doing both. Well done, you gangster!
Спустя 8 лет, после выхода видео, мне прилетела рекомендация))) ну что ж, ютуб, спасибо. Очень круто, и играет как и поет, прям такой голос обожаю и девочка красивая. Прям настроение поднялось))) привет из Крыма)) Россия с вами
You ever get recommended something... get a little excited because it’s fantastic only to realize they haven’t posted in 8 months and you might never get new content from this person you just discovered
Doesn't matter though. It's like finding an old band that's already broken up, or a painting from a century ago. It's as good now as it was then, and if it's not then...it's just not much of anything.
She's been putting music on YT for years. If it's been a few months I assume there will be more. In fact I think she just dropped an album or something a few months ago.

I love this song. I love how you playing guitar. I love your voice. Wow you are aweseome :) Thank you so much for sharing your videos with us. God bless you. Greetings from Germany.
This is so good. Really, my favorite cover of this song. Such a beautiful tone you create with your playing and vocals. Wonderful performance, hard driving groove and flawless timing.
Damn this song hits home hard. Reminds me of back in the day, when we were younger and had aspirations and then the crossroads came where it's either keep chasing them or go to work at the factories... I like to think I'm still chasing them while working my ass off lol. Great cover very nostalgic
I have no idea if I commented already. I probably did. Just want you to know I still use your acoustic to fall asleep. I have no idea why your voice mixed with that guitar help me sleep so well but it does. You're so incredible!
I always think people who can play guitar and sing at the same time are really talented. I "can" do both but not at the same time without messing my guitar notes or chords.
Keep at it. I remember the first song i learned on acoustic was Hey There Delilah and I always thought I'd never be able to play and sing. But after practicing over time, it just kinda happened. Since then I've been able to play and sing a lot of songs. I'm sure you'll be able to do it someday too and when you do you're gonna have a lot of fun :) Good luck!
I takes a lot of determination. In the beginning it seems humanly impossible, but then the neurons form and all of a sudden it just works. Keep it up and you'll get there!
Well, thank you. But seriously just keep plugging away, you’ll get it. I’m entirely self taught, and I decided very early to develop that skill. Strumming and singing is much easier to do and to cover up any mistakes while playing. 15 years of off and on guitar playing and 1 year of singing lessons, and I can FINALLY sing while picking. Some things come easy, some things take years of work; if it’s something you’re interested in then keep trying
It really is all practice. Especially when it’s a song you’re just learning. What I like to do is learn the guitar part and vocals separately, then combine them. I usually learn vocals first, since I’ve been singing for longer and it comes more naturally to me, but that’s just how I am.
Wow, really liked your playing n singing very much. I grew up in Riyadh listening to Offspring. Bought this album on casette I reckon.. Makes you think off all them years that has passed your way, people you knew, feelings or thought you had about everything, the future. Miss them alot, miss listening to Offspring, I havent been listening to them in more than 15 years or so. thats crazy!! I guess I wanted to say that Your cover really got to me, thanks for reminding me how cool and moving that song really is. Offspring members might get older, but their music will never change, I think I just got that. Thanks this really really only brought great memmories back!! #1
You looked on the verge of tears during this song and it made my eyes get watery. This song is so true of how we think we will rule the world when we are going and find out it’s not that easy. Drugs suicide kids. Life is hard but you made it great today thanks
I saw them play at a festival a few years after this album came out (guessing 2000, X Fest in Somerset, WI?). The entire electronics system and lights went out during this song. The future was not so bright. Nicely done, by the way.
@@rawesome1000 Man you get extra credit, I forgot the name of that place at least 10 years ago. But amazingly enough, I looked it up and it WAS the year Def Leppard and Motorhead played, but it was 1999. Mason Jennings played too, which is really weird. The lineup is really funny to look at now (Buckcherry!), but I remember watching the Cake set as the sun went down and everyone threw their pizza boxes in the air, that was killer.

im 12 and has been playing since 3 and I can tell you you have waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more practice and your guitar is tuned very well can u make a youre gonna go far kid cover in acoustic would love to see it keep up the good work
singing, to change her wishing, by wantings, to be I, swear by missing, kissing, yesterdays wishing, in following, its all in changing, best blessing, case open bends Nice and Loud!
Absolutely. Listen to your intuition bro. The trick it to balance money and life with your passion. Build your future. if money stops you from following your passion build your future so your children can follow their dreams with no financial restrictions.
only if you want it as bad as your next breath of air it's a sacrifice you have to keep grinding constantly if your going for the big dream but if your humble and want to do it cuz you love it DO IT.
My brother was a huge The Offspring fan. He passed away a few days ago...
I got this cover to be played ay his funerals, he would have loved it. Such a wonderful accoustic version !
I'm sorry for your loss,
Rest in peace
So good!
A man with a good taste in music
Is this his real account? Be kinda cool if he has the same taste in music too
Yep- it's me. @@dillongillespie1193
this is so random
I thought no one sings this way nowadays. Everyone always tries to make a cover softer than an original using slow sad melody. And this one sounds really good.

5 years later UA-cam recommends me this video...
Victor Ferreira I think UA-cam is trying to prove that we have no life. They ran out of good recommendations as were on here too much.
Jajajajaj me too jajajaj
Victor Ferreira lol
Did ya watch an offsping video lately?
@@benwachtel23. That's why we dont see your content dick head
Just 2 questions:
1) Why UA-cam recommend me this video in 2020
2) Why it's sounds so awesome
1) idk, Google started as "don't be evil" then they sold waaaaaaaaay out, why anything evil does what it does idk bc I'm pro-humanity and good for good ... 2) beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so too is the aesthetic of harmony. That is a Q you must answer yourself. Self-examination is the key to enlightenment
Same
SAME.
2021
1 - Because algorhytms / - 2 - Because you have good taste in music
UA-cam sucks, im 9 years late
No you are on time, your own time. ❤
Better late than never,
Awesome cover she rocks em
Lol
I'm more late! She's so awesome.
this actually made me tear up. well done, lady. this is the song that made me pick up a guitar - and you sure did do it justice. i'm officially a fan!
This is the best cover I have heard of this song to date...I have been an Offspring fan since about 99'. My first album I got from them was Ignition, then Smash and then Americana. I even have a flaming skull logo tattoo.
Listen to nomy's cover. Its better. This aint bad though
Am I the only one who scream "whoohoo" between verses?:p
Sometimes I throw one there right in the middle.
I DEFINITELY do. So I'm with ya there.
Woah oh*

I used to listen to this when I was thirteen hits a lot harder now I'm 31, epic band, epic cover.
''he asked for a 13 but they drew a 31'' ... funny number coincidence.
How true
@@viljasboas8677 Yeah right, lol
@@viljasboas8677 oh wow lol

So, I discovered this by searching for acoustic covers of this song. Liked, subscribed, watching goddamn everything. Keep it up!

Can you tel me which type off guitar you used to play. @@jennfiorentino
2023. Still great.
The kids weren't alright. And nobody seemed to notice.
that's the op ... tell EVERYONE THE TRUTH!
Look at us now...
We noticed. We lived it.
@@om617yota8 Still are keep marching forward though.
@@user-pp4uk8gt4o You got it.
Such heart in this recording!
I come back and listen again, when my life needs it, it’s like medicine
This song always reminds me of my old neighborhood friends. There were like 10-15 of us that lived on that street. This song is so true.
Sooooo true.
Yep. Neighborhood I grew up in was called felony flats for a reason. I think me and one other were the only ones who made it out, but we still have our scars.
I heard that.
When we were young the future was so bright
The old neighborhood was so alive
And every kid on the whole damn street
Was gonna make it big and not be beat
Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn
The kids are grown up but their lives are worn
How can one little street
Swallow so many lives?

Kinda sums up how Society has imploded!...peace to all!
Thanks, mate!
Yes
Pitch perfect. Seriously, haven't found a video that hasn't been yet. Also impressed with how much guitar work you do while vocalising, I have a huge habit of simplifying the shit outta things when I'm doing both. Well done, you gangster!
I have thought the same thing. It's hard to pick like that and sing so perfect.
Very nice.
You should do a cover of Paper Wings by Rise Against.
Seth Mitchell but yes!!!!
I agree!!
Man there is like a million fucking tunes she should cover lol.
No she shouldn't......
Mark Daurelio ur a pussy
I was "WOHOO-ing" the whole time, perfect cover, it takes me back 25 years ago when I first discovered this band at the age of 10 ! 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Yesterday was worst day of my life, and then i found this cover , song from my past. I cant explain this feelin. Thnk you so much...
Alf Royster what happened??
TrueGamer im so glad to hear
That feeling might be nostalgia. One hell of a feeling
black panda 30 Nostalgia can change your whole day. a powerful feeling it is
This is one of the most badass things I’ve ever seen in my 32 years man. Bravo
You get it. Enough said.
Спустя 8 лет, после выхода видео, мне прилетела рекомендация))) ну что ж, ютуб, спасибо. Очень круто, и играет как и поет, прям такой голос обожаю и девочка красивая. Прям настроение поднялось))) привет из Крыма)) Россия с вами
Крым не Россия)))) смирись с этим
I was just listening to the music video version of this song by the Offspring... I decided I like this version better, so here I am. I love this!
You ever get recommended something... get a little excited because it’s fantastic only to realize they haven’t posted in 8 months and you might never get new content from this person you just discovered
Doesn't matter though. It's like finding an old band that's already broken up, or a painting from a century ago. It's as good now as it was then, and if it's not then...it's just not much of anything.
She'll be back. She just needed a break to deal with things. Don't worry
jtitus311 I think that’s fair
She's been putting music on YT for years. If it's been a few months I assume there will be more.
In fact I think she just dropped an album or something a few months ago.
I just collaborated with her on a tune. She's still killing it. Check out her new album survive. It's freaking great
I never get tired of coming back here and watching again and again 🤘
PLEASE KEEP PLAYING WHAT EVER THEY TELL YOU IT DOESNT MATTER JUST KEEP ON MAKING THIS VIDEOS YOU ARE PURE TALENT....EVERY SONG TAKES ME BACK
Gorgeous cover
obsessed with this song, so glad i finally found an acoustic cover of it!!
After 6 years I finally get this video as recommended. Awesome work

I wish I could go back in time and tell my younger self to get to X-Fest (or was it still Edge-Fest at that time?)
@@nickclute X-Fest, it was the year Motorhead and Def Leppard headlined I think
Bizarre. I saw them in the summer of 2000 or 2001 in Calgary, AB and something blew-up on stage and knocked out power to the entire arena.
i was there! friggin floatright park...

The lineup is really funny to look at now (Buckcherry!), but I remember watching the Cake set as the sun went down and everyone threw their pizza boxes in the air, that was killer.
