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.
Emotion
J’en ai les poils qui se dresse seul à l’écoute ❤
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
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
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*
me 2
+1
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
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 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 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.
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
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
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
obsessed with this song, so glad i finally found an acoustic cover of it!!
Every time I come back to this I wanna like it again. So good
So, I discovered this by searching for acoustic covers of this song. Liked, subscribed, watching goddamn everything. Keep it up!
Warren Seibel Fuckin awesome :)
***** Me too...
Same man! :D
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.
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 ! 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Woooww.. its been 9 years.. the best cover i ever heard.. ❤❤❤❤❤
Ive just listened to this 20+ times in a row! Love it
I've just started watching her she gives me goosebumps with that voice so good love 💕💕💕💕 it
The way you sang this gave me goosebumps.
“What the hell is going on, cruelest dream reality” one of the best lyrics
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
That was AWESOME!! That's the same way I've taught my Daughter's to cover these songs. Acoustic guitars seems to be a dying Art. Thankyou
I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve come back to watch this. So good, keep it up!
This has been one of my favorite songs since 6th grade. Like 20 years ago. This is the first cover of it I've heard that I really connected with.
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
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 love when this video pops up. Never gets old. Amazing cover. Respect.
6 years later UA-cam recommends me this vídeo ♥️♥️♥️🎶
Likewise
Wow child hood memories. This was my favourite band true out middleschool.
You do it really good! Thanks you!
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.
Still listening to your rendition 3 years later :) Love it
Great cover. Nostalgia overload. Everyone makes their voice sound good with editing these days, but this is pure, raw, strong vocals. Badass
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
Your voice is so powerful; I'm in love
2023. Still great.
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
Amazing voice' great cover, thanks for inspiring us Ms Jenn....
This is fucking awesome
Great stuff
I loved your version... Thanks, that was fresh air to one of my favorite songs in life.
Absolutely paid homage to this amazing song in all the right ways! Thanks for brightening our lives with this cover. Much love!
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
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
After 6 years I finally get this video as recommended. Awesome work
Amazing! You are incredible. I get goosebumps. One of my favourite songs ever.
Looks like she's about to cry before singing. Actually pretty fitting because it's actually a pretty emotional song. I love this!
Flashback, childhood memories..
Thank you, Jenn..
You got a new sub!!
Absolutely Brilliant!! Incredible
This is one of the most badass things I’ve ever seen in my 32 years man. Bravo
You get it. Enough said.
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
Brain Stew by Green Day is a great place to start too.
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.
Amazing.....the best👍👍👍offspring🎸🎶 from indonesia🇮🇩
I never get tired of coming back here and watching again and again 🤘
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'd love to hear Jennifer Lost the War. Great cover!
muito bom esse seu vídeo, esta de parabéns, e canta muito bem também...parabens
WOW!!! Absolutely amazing!
so emotional....my total respect..perfect playing!!!

Wow....you touched me, I felt this like the first time as a teenager when I heard the song....you are amazing...thank you.

Cant remember last time I got so touched.. Damn, thats priceless
Would love to hear you playing Lori Meyers
you're amazing. Haven't been as excited about an artist as you since Christina Grimmie
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!
That was amazing, you're incredibly talented.
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?
Chances thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for what used to be
Still it's hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams
Go!
Jamie had a chance, well she really did
Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids
Mark still lives at home 'cause he's got no job
He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot
Jay committed suicide
Brandon OD'd and died
What the hell is going on
The cruelest dream, reality
Chances thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for what used to be
Still it's hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams
Go!
Chances thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for what used to be
Still it's hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams
hah replay this now due to covid heh, fuck china
Kinda sums up how Society has imploded!...peace to all!
Thanks, mate!
Yes
Hey esta excelente me encanto!! Mucha suerte!! (Y)
One of the best accoustic cover of these song ! good job !
Absolutely fantastic.
I've been like this since I was three I've always loved depressing songs
Same
UA-cam sucks, im 9 years late
No you are on time, your own time. ❤
Ah brilliant! I love this.
I've been going through loads of acoustic versions of this song trying to come up with my own ideas for an interpretation. This is amazing. One of the best I've heard, including The Offspring.
2020 and UA-cam recommend me this now, why shouldn't it be 5 years ago?!
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.
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...
@@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.
Thank you for paying a decent tribute to one of the best Offspring songs ever written! Nice Work!
The best cover I have ever seen.
I see two big reasons why this video is so popular...
She‘s good playing the guitar and she have a great voice)))
Ha!
Whats up slapper
Unay Gimenez O M G
Epico
No I do to
Love her face at singing, I do strange faces too at singing XD love her cover too!!
Awesome...!!! Congratulations from Brazil...
Thank you for this . God bless you.
Uplifting to say the least

If people are asking for Blink 182 out of nostalgia, it must mean I'm really getting old....
