LYRICS
When they're younger many parents tell their kids that they can be
The president, or an astronaut, or an actor on TV
But no one ever tells a child what they cannot be
So it seems that the responsibility has come to me
Life is just a compromise it's better for your health
You might achieve a smaller dream so look inside yourself
Why do you want the big career and all that fancy stuff?
Give up give up give up give up give up
The moment you stop working out the fat will start to creep
You can never smoke a cigarette and still die in your sleep
So you don't have to make the bed you're getting back into
'Cause life tends towards chaos and there's nothing you can do
And love is just a compromise so you don't have to frown
And romcoms are a bunch of lies so bring your standards down
Sure he's a comedian but being single sucks
Give up give up give up give up give up
Think of what's awaiting you a couple years down the line
A bunch of emptiness at the success you didn't find
Think of how much happier you would be at that time
If you never ever failed because you didn't even try
And life is just a compromise but we don't wanna see
We write ourselves the movie script of how our lives should be
You're reaching out for happiness when what's inside's enough
Give up give up give up give up give up

Here from the Newfangled Four :D
One of the best barbershop quartets in the world did an arrangement of this song, and their lead singer kinda sings like phillip!
When I first heard NF4 sing this it instantly became my favourite performance of theirs. I've only just now found this original - this song is great! I want to see more of his stuff
Arrangement is killer, but the core song and melody are just _* chef kiss *_
Oh please give us a musical please please PLEASE
He would write such a brilliant musical
Aliens Reflection on Humans - Episode 1
Oh man, I AM holding my breath for this 😅
I think he has, about the NRA
Absolutely brilliant; the way this composition has been arranged is brilliant. I'm incredibly impressed. Some very clear inspirations of musical theater, it reminds me of the 25th Putnam County Spelling Bee.
Genius work, I am speechless at the talent on display here, Philip.
Not that it matters in the slightest, but I'm proud of you. Seeing you go from a solo act on a random social media network to a music studio with an entire band behind you is fucking incredible and I love this journey you're on. Don't, well, give up.
My mother told me this more than once as a teenager. Get a job pushing mop or run a cashbox, see. You don't need to own a house or to chase your wildest dreams. Give up, give up, give up. I followed that advice and am comfortable as a cashier.
Has like a Randy Newman and Billy Joel vibe. So good.
The only thing missing is 4 backup singers.
It's amazing as is but that would just be even more mind blowing.
Check out the Newfangled Four's recent medal-winning performance of this sensational song in 4 part harmony
This is incredible! You really deserve to be successful. You're such a great songwriter!
Oh wow! I'm always love this kind of music and this is so amazing 👏 kudos! Greetings from Malaysia 🇲🇾 (i'm also a songwriter who make oldies vibe music) 🎶
This song is awesome! And as a former band nerd I geeked out about the big band,, how cool!!!! I can’t wait to the rest of the album 🥳
I love this song! The orchestra is a great addition and I like the lyrics.
This is fckin incredible, I absolutely love the production of this and I'm a sucker for brilliant sings that have amazing accompaniment. I keep thinking I can't find a new favourite Phillip labes song, and then I fuckin find a gem that's somehow even better than the one before. I wish you all the best and keep having fun making amazing music
So, I was listening to the newest Panic! At The Disco album on Spotify, and when it finished it turned into the "radio" based on that album, where it just starts auto-playing random songs it thinks are kinda related. Not sure how on earth it suggested this song, but I love it!!
Anyways, I am now shocked to find it has so few views! The quality and production is incredible. It will be fun to know I was one of the first few thousand subscribers when you hit a few million by next year!!
Thanks for making my night, and congrats on the amazing work. 🙌
Irony that writing and recording with an orchestra isn’t giving up, but this speaks to me just like Hot & Dumb. I’ve let a lot go, though I won’t not try at all, still remembering to relax is key.
I’m so thankful that you make music, your songs are filled with curiosity, wisdom and fun.
Love the orchestra🎺
Wow! This song is amazing. It has a musical theatre vibe to it.
That brass gave me goosebumps
Every new song that I've heard in the past few days is perfect for Autumn and this is no exception
Today is the first day i heared you on tck tock
The song earth . And this is the way music should be 😊
This guy must write a musical.
Man! This is amazing! I'm so happy for you. I found you on Tik tok a couple months ago and I loved your work. You're incredibly talented! This version is a banger and I hope you get more recognition. This could easily be the perfect intro song for a comedy show. I wish you the best! Greetings from Spain! :)
This just absolutely MADE my morning!! Was not prepared for that punchy Brass!
Been enjoying this on repeat! Awesome song❤
This song deserves a million views! ❤
THIS IS AWESOME!!!
Great tune dude, and Jacob Mann did an incredible job as always!
Amazing! Absolutely amazing! I am stunned!
Found this searching for another song. This was fantastic!
Love the orchestra, excited to hear more of it in Autumn!
I cant stop listening to this omg
Super cool to see the behind the scenes! The band sounds amazing!
This is brilliant, made me cry - this is so relatable.
It's so fun to see what I'm listening to! Love this video :)
Wow - that was fabulous. And funny. 👍
Thanks for making me give up
hell yeah fantastic man.
My life has been different ever since I've heard this song.
How so?
This is phenomenal!!
GRREEEEEAAAAT !!!!! What a brilliant way to telling the truth :)
Just wow!
i love it. i’ll stream it tmr at work on repeat 😎
Please do a musical, you have so many potential but is underrated 😭😭😭
Do you have an instrumental version? I really wanna sing to this its so good❤
❤❤❤
New anthem.
This is beautifully written, and played masterfully! But- I ask this genuinely- are you okay?
this is so fucking cool
I like this song, but it might be bad for my mental health to listen too much
ha! wonderful! And kinda true. Except my parents were kinda too honest
I hope no takes this to heart lolz😂
you missed the whole point of the song. the point of the song is that you shouldn't feel like you have to live life according to other people's standards and give yourself expectations that are way too high because ultimately all of that is pretty pointless to chase after, ultimately all that matters is that you continue living life, do things you actually like and don't take everything too seriously.
