This reminds me of the final episodes of sitcoms where the characters claim they have bright futures on the horizon but we know they stop existing when the final credits roll
This song has always reminded me of the end of highschool and having to leave all the memories behind to move on with life. Its one of my favorite song, i love the country guitar tune you gave it.
@@BillyCobbOfficial The "teen advantage" multivitamin I just took had an expiration date of 5/15, which just happened to be the month I graduated. Whether it will have me feeling rough and raw in a little bit, we'll just have to wait and see.
"We'll choke on our on vomit, and that will be the end." Holy shit, I've been listening to the original for years and never noticed that line. Hit me like a ton of bricks. Great cover, Billy.
I remember hearing this song a ton in High School and loving the melody. Yet I never really listened to the words. Now I'm ten years older, living on my own on the opposite side of the country from my family, out of touch with most of the people I knew in High School, and feeling a lonliness I never thought possible... This song hits completely differently now. Thank you for the cover, Billy, I think I needed it.
This song always made me cry. I was introduced to it when I was at a rough time in my life as a kid. This version is almost an optimistic take on such a desolate song, but the lyrics are still the same. The memories are still there, but they can't hurt me anymore.
Been listening to this particular MGMT song these past few months as i finish my last semester of undergrad. Makes me think about how drastic my life switches year by year. Just last summer i was going through the worst seasonal depressive episode of my life, and now i find myself running an errand with the person i love. Life is terrifying but i appreciate these moments just like i appreciate this song.
Ah damn Billy out here completely redefining one of my all time favorite songs again making it the defacto one I want to play for the rest of time again
I never really knew the lyrics to this song since it was kinda hard to understand but wow, I love this song so much more now. It just feels more personal.
This is such a bittersweet and nostalgic song for me. It brings me back to high school when I first heard this song. My family and I have very different beliefs, and I wanted more from life than the narrow path they had laid out for me. This song reminds me of the realization that our paths were meant to diverge, it reminds me of that terrifying first step off the ledge into the world on my own. Thank you for such a beautiful cover, you nailed it
Billy Bob lyrics I'm feelin' rough, I'm feelin' raw in the prime of my life Let's make some music, make some money Find some models for wives I'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin and fuck with the stars You man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars This is our decision to live fast and die young We've got the vision, now let's have some fun Yeah, it's overwhelming, but what else can we do? Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute? Forget about our mothers and our friends We're fated to pretend To pretend We're fated to pretend To pretend I'll miss the playgrounds And the animals and digging up worms I'll miss the comfort of my mother And the weight of the world I'll miss my sister, miss my father, Miss my dog and my home Yeah, I'll miss the boredom And the freedom and the time spent alone But there is really nothing, nothing we can do Love must be forgotten, life can always start up anew The models will have children, we'll get a divorce We'll find some more models, everything must run its course We'll choke on our vomit and that will be the end We were fated to pretend To pretend We're fated to pretend To pretend We're fated to pretend.
being real though, im just now beginning the job search nightmare and getting out in the world, trying to move out for the first time, no more school. familys got cancer and everyone is getting older. shits tough but im working it out. this just makes me think of everything ive lost and going to continue to lose. not gonna lie i might be a little drunk and may or may not be crying while writing this but shit will work out. thanks billy.
I hate highschool, only two more days. Been feeling hopeless and hurt. So much hurt. Never let a teacher yell and falsely accuse things about your character. Never let them make you feel like you’re cornered. Never let them have this much control over you. I’ll miss my friends and my favorite teachers. I just want to go to college already. It still hurts
If it's any consolation, most of your high school years probably won't matter that much unless you make them matter in positive ways or negative ways. That's my experience anyway. The only impact for me was trying some academic subjects, SAT scores, and a few early scholarships. All of the friends and troubles are a blur at this point. Basically, you author your own story and platitudes like that.
wow, posted 1 day ago, already have 18k views, im not even subscribed to you so it looks like the algorithm caught onto you, good luck, glad you’re being recognized, you’re very talented and keep up the great music dude!
such a fantastic cover as always. i listened to this song on repeat the summer of last year because i was about to move away for college. i always loved this song growing up but it was only then that the lyrics of the second verse sunk in and it made me so emotional. love your stuff billy, you captured the feeling of this song so well
Much better than the original. Wouldn't expect anything less from the legendary Billy Cobb! Also, it sounds like an alternative end credits song for Adventure Time with this arrangement.
RAAAGH this cover is so wonderful.. even though it was uploaded a little before I woke up this morning and smiled. it’s my birthday today and it made my day :]
the music video for this song is so sick, produced by Ray Tintori who also made this amazing short film called Death to the Tinman available for free on youtube. Worth the watch.
i had a great morning but while eating my breakfast i decided to check out Billys new video, and now its still a great morning but im sad and im regretting not going ou tmore often even tho it exhausts me and im perfectly happy getting out just for work and spending the most amount of time possible on playing the witcher series. But grandma says i should travel the world and have fun but also go back to school and "not waste my potential" id write a thousand words more describing how i feel about my current situation and and about the worlds current situation but whats the point. I love your Music billy pls stop as late as possible (but also do whatever you feel like doing)
This reminds me of the final episodes of sitcoms where the characters claim they have bright futures on the horizon but we know they stop existing when the final credits roll
this guy is gonna go crazy when they watch skins season 2
stop !! no! they're real, they're real to me!
Deep

Listened to this song on the last day of high school
@@BillyCobbOfficialOh, dude.
@@BillyCobbOfficial you allowed to put this on spotify?
@@BillyCobbOfficial The "teen advantage" multivitamin I just took had an expiration date of 5/15, which just happened to be the month I graduated. Whether it will have me feeling rough and raw in a little bit, we'll just have to wait and see.
PLEASE PUT THIS COVER ON SPOTIFY!!! I FREAKIN LOVE IT
Petition to put all Billy Cobb's song on Spotify...
"We'll choke on our on vomit, and that will be the end."
Holy shit, I've been listening to the original for years and never noticed that line. Hit me like a ton of bricks.

Another fat W for the Cobbster, he never misses but these past few songs have instantly gone on my playlist
This really makes me want a Bittersweet Symphony cover for some reason.
Please yes yes
I need that and "Float On" by Modest Mouse so bad

I just heard the original in the grocery store, and came home to see this! Neat!

@@swagistan69420 Many miles away…
One of my favorite MGMT songs. Really love this cover
Love the mix - super light and sunny arrangement. Thanks for making me smile bill
hot damn, billy what an uplifting throwback. i used to listen to mgmt daily a few years back when i was still in high school.
mgmt and billy cobb is the crossover i KNEW i needed

Gives "will never be a kid anymore and everything good in life is over, but lowkey it is what it is."
it is what it is
@@noaccount4it is what it is
It is what it is
No but for real it is what it is.
@@tonyf2455it’s what it’s
I remember hearing this first in the beginning of the movie 21. I was obsessed with card counting for a couple years in middle school.
So much nostalgia from this one…you’re a gangsta for this
(Didn’t realize this song sounds so awesome with acoustic guitar!)
song gives me a feeling of just being glad i have what i have. enjoy the simpler things in life.
These covers rewire my brain frfr
My favourite MGMT song.
Thank you for this much needed cover of a classic
this gives a much more whimsical and nostalgic feel than the original and i just adore itt!!
Great as always, this version has a strange feeling and I love it, thanks for make me feel like the first time I listened to this song ❤
I've never clicked on a notification so quickly
This is what the UA-cam algorithm was for. You are doing God's work
From all the covers you've posted this one is the closest to perfection, luv from a fan from Brazil S2

This also is really good !!! thanks for the cover, and for making me discover this music !
Pretty cute cover. Who would've thought an acoustic guitar would fit it so well?
Your delivery is perfect. The lyrics really pop out here. This was a very nice surprise in my sub box. Peace ✌️
Billy Bob lyrics
I'm feelin' rough, I'm feelin' raw
in the prime of my life
Let's make some music, make some money
Find some models for wives
I'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin and fuck with the stars
You man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars
This is our decision to live fast and die young
We've got the vision, now let's have some fun
Yeah, it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?
Forget about our mothers and our friends
We're fated to pretend
To pretend
We're fated to pretend
To pretend
I'll miss the playgrounds
And the animals and digging up worms
I'll miss the comfort of my mother
And the weight of the world
I'll miss my sister, miss my father,
Miss my dog and my home
Yeah, I'll miss the boredom
And the freedom and the time spent alone
But there is really nothing, nothing we can do
Love must be forgotten, life can always start up anew
The models will have children, we'll get a divorce
We'll find some more models, everything must run its course
We'll choke on our vomit and that will be the end
We were fated to pretend
To pretend
We're fated to pretend
To pretend
We're fated to pretend.
What a nice spin to a great song
Billy, your vocals on this are 🤌🏻👌🏻
I’ve been a sub for years but this is the first time I remember who bro is and I’m glad
i love this cover, been loving your music since the early sunsets over monroeville cover
this is beautiful
Cute cover. I was pretty excited by this because MGMT are one of my all time favorite bands.
Midway thru I honestly forgot I was listening to a cover and not just some obscure version that was randomly recommended
Found you through the greenday video. You are a legend and your covers bring new life to old songs! Look forward to seeing what else you put out :)
Why does your voice give off Gerald Way vibes for me so hard?
remember this song from waaaaay back in the day when i first watched skins, what a tune
we're all gonna be alright, find your peace.
being real though, im just now beginning the job search nightmare and getting out in the world, trying to move out for the first time, no more school. familys got cancer and everyone is getting older. shits tough but im working it out. this just makes me think of everything ive lost and going to continue to lose. not gonna lie i might be a little drunk and may or may not be crying while writing this but shit will work out. thanks billy.
You covered it very well. Love it.
I love you, Billy.

Praying for you bro 🙏 the thing bout the character and not let teachers change that hits home dawg.

Really hope this one is put on spotify
nicely done mate! love it, keep it up!
something i never knew i needed. but yeah, an mgmt x billy cobb cover is goated
I need to stop listening to this song in the middle of the night it fucks me up
I really like the way he said “now let’s have some fun”
I absolutely love this cover, awesome work dude!!!! 😎
love this song
one of my all time fav songs growing up thx man
It really took me a few lines before I realized it wasn't just an instrumental cover, nice instrumental/electronic fusion!
Yo Billy this is really good! I like it more than the original!
Big fan of this album and you covered this song in such a fresh way. Great work!
Loved your work for oboeshoesgames!

It's not even about me and the song itself is older than today
but man, it sure came at the right time
Mgmt has such a rich discography and everyone only ever covers their first three radio hits…. That being said this was a good cover.
I love this. Keep up the good work, Billy.
Man, this is more depressing than the original 😭😭😭😭
Absolutely love this cover and hope you can get it on spotify!
i love this song a lot :)
Algorithm hit hard with this one
Love the arrangement!
Much better than the original. Wouldn't expect anything less from the legendary Billy Cobb!
Also, it sounds like an alternative end credits song for Adventure Time with this arrangement.
What a great rendition
bitter sweet symphony PLEASE
RAAAGH this cover is so wonderful.. even though it was uploaded a little before I woke up this morning and smiled. it’s my birthday today and it made my day :]
life after the co-worker you dont like quits or gets fired
REALLY good cover of one of my favourite songs too!
Amazing as always

Good stuff
One of my favorite artists. Yall should sell a cover album

Hope this one hits streaming. It's a really beautiful cover :)
Billy always with the contextually appropriate tunes to blast on repeat
Really great! Just realized I heard your cover of A Day in the Life
always loved mgmt, sick cover
Dear Salem, I miss you man.
We have made it to Litville usa
we all know it's gonna be a banger again
Thank you for covering this
i loved this, thank you :)
billy-coded songs I'm surprised he hasn't covered yet: tubthumping, iris, anything by sugar ray for some reason
This rules. You rule.
Thank you for covering this ❤
Aw yeah, time to strap in and enjoy a certified crying teenager classic.
I was feeling mixed on their newest album but that just makes their older albums that much more precious.
Incredible as always. You should do "Here's Where the Story Ends" by The Sundays next, that's a banger
good job
Awesome cover as always!
suddenly im a ghostly Spectre
This cover is something that would play in the background while the hero is becoming the antagonist because they fell in love with the villain
This sounds a lot like A Thousand Songs by Jim Guthrie great cover dog
