I love the way you sang this and gave it your own twist! Taylor sang this as a an upbeat, confident, defiant song, and I love how you gave this a soulful ballad quality. Beautiful.
I always thought this song had so simple lyrics yet it was so effective. This was one of my favorite songs when I was young n someone said something mean to me and I would just repeat the line in my head, "Someday I'll be living in a big old city and all you're ever gonna be is mean." So, thank you, Josh, forputting so much emotion while singing a song which most dismiss as being childish but it really meant a lot to me.
Ow dude, your voice suits perfectly all songs of Taylor... Please do more... Will be a real thing, listen Enchanted in your voice. Thank u for that amazing job.
Bro... This song I was literaly start to listen like... A lot of times... And Boom! U made a cover :o Thanks! Please do some covers of Taylor Swift album, Fearless (You belong with me) and Speak Now (Ours)
You did a great Job. Instant like. One of Taylor's best songs which contains a very enpowering message. To hear your voice on this positive message feels amazing.
A fan here, love your beautiful covers btw. Please share or make your own songs or albums too. I would love to listen to all of them cause why not, you are a singer/songwriter who has written and performed with bands and artists across the country.
You, with your words like knives And swords and weapons that you use against me You, have knocked me off my feet again, Got me feeling like a nothing You, with your voice like nails On a chalk board, calling me out when I'm wounded You, picking on the weaker man You can take me down With just one single blow But you don't know what you don't know Someday I'll be living in a big old city And all you're ever gonna be is mean Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me And all you're ever gonna be is mean Why you gotta be so mean? You, with your switching sides And your wildfire lies and your humiliation You have pointed out my flaws again As if I don't already see them I walk with my head down, Try to block you out 'cause I never impress you I just want to feel okay again I bet you got pushed around Somebody made you cold but the cycle ends right now 'Cause you can't lead me down that road And you don't know what you don't know Someday I'll be living in a big old city And all you're ever gonna be is mean Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me And all you're ever gonna be is mean Why you gotta be so mean? And I can see you years from now in a bar Talking over a football game With that same big loud opinion But nobody's listening, washed up and ranting About the same old bitter things Drunk and grumbling on about how I can't sing But all you are is mean All you are is mean and a liar and pathetic And alone in life and mean, and mean, and mean, and mean But someday I'll be living in a big old city And all you're ever gonna be is mean Yeah someday I'll be big enough So you can't hit me And all you're ever gonna be is mean Why you gotta be so (mean) Someday I'll be living in a big old city (Why you gotta be so mean) And all you're ever gonna be is mean (Why you gotta be so mean) Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me (Why you gotta be so mean) And all you're ever gonna be is mean Why you gotta be so mean?
With More than 30 years in the Industry... alongside my successful Teaching Career...I can tell you THIS...that arrangement and the "Perfection" in that Range...OMG!!! With Familial Relations with Arista Nashville...I honestly think you could be signed...you have the LOOKS....And that voice...You can go PLACES!!! I can see you singing "Country Ballads" with Reba (She's a bit scary in person because of who she is, but a Kitten in REALIFE), Lady "A", but my personal choice of a BEAUTIFUL duet with you would 100% with Miss Martina herself...you need to do "Concrete Angel" and if need be, I can accompany you on the Piano...it would be my honor
wow :O, new subscriber here, just really amazed with ur voice bro, will you do a cover of "dear john" and "red" by taylor swift? your voice perfectly suits in that songs. :D
This is my song and I'm not a huge fan of Taylor Swift. I'm from a small town and there were several people mostly coworkers who I knew who were pretty much stuck there because of poor choices they'd make. Whenever this song came on the radio I would say this is my song, and they would tell me I'll never get out. Two years this October. I moved to the city I wanted, pop 250,000 versus 750 in the village I was from. Some people don't want you to improve your life if its going to mean its going to be better then there's. moral is don't listen to what people say you can or cannot do. Only you can decide that.
You, with your words like knives And swords and weapons that you use against me You have knocked me off my feet again Got me feeling like I'm nothing You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard Calling me out when I'm wounded You, pickin' on the weaker man Well, you can take me down With just one single blow But you don't know what you don't know Someday, I'll be living in a big old city And all you're ever gonna be is mean Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me And all you're ever gonna be is mean Why you gotta be so mean? You, with your switching sides And your wildfire lies and your humiliation You have pointed out my flaws again As if I don't already see them I walk with my head down Trying to block you out, 'cause I'll never impress you I just wanna feel okay again I bet you got pushed around Somebody made you cold But the cycle ends right now 'Cause you can't lead me down that road And you don't know what you don't know Someday, I'll be living in a big old city And all you're ever gonna be is mean Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me And all you're ever gonna be is mean Why you gotta be so mean?

Thanks man!
Incredible job man!
Thank you Jay!
You, with your words like knives
And swords and weapons that you use against me
You, have knocked me off my feet again,
Got me feeling like a nothing
You, with your voice like nails
On a chalk board, calling me out when I'm wounded
You, picking on the weaker man
You can take me down
With just one single blow
But you don't know what you don't know
Someday I'll be living in a big old city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
You, with your switching sides
And your wildfire lies and your humiliation
You have pointed out my flaws again
As if I don't already see them
I walk with my head down,
Try to block you out 'cause I never impress you
I just want to feel okay again
I bet you got pushed around
Somebody made you cold but the cycle ends right now
'Cause you can't lead me down that road
And you don't know what you don't know
Someday I'll be living in a big old city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
And I can see you years from now in a bar
Talking over a football game
With that same big loud opinion
But nobody's listening, washed up and ranting
About the same old bitter things
Drunk and grumbling on about how I can't sing
But all you are is mean
All you are is mean and a liar and pathetic
And alone in life and mean, and mean, and mean, and mean
But someday I'll be living in a big old city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Yeah someday I'll be big enough
So you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so (mean)
Someday I'll be living in a big old city
(Why you gotta be so mean)
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
(Why you gotta be so mean)
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
(Why you gotta be so mean)
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
You deserve to be more famous
Great! can you do a cover of death by a thousand cuts? it's my faveeee

Love his voice sings this way better than Taylor
thanks Cory!
I'm here just for the...... liar, pathetic and alone in life and mean part 😂
You, with your words like knives
And swords and weapons that you use against me
You have knocked me off my feet again
Got me feeling like I'm nothing
You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard

And mean, and mean, and mean, and mean

And all you're ever gonna be is mean, yeah
Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean

Someday, I'll be living in a big old city
