I FINALLY FINISHED PHONY!! huge banger for my birthday this year. enjoy!! c: if tsumiki sees this ily make sure to stream this on spotify!!!!! distrokid.com/hyperfollow/willstetson/phony follow me on twitter if u would like to know how im doing!! twitter.com/willstetson
very minor hot take: one of the only covers of phony that i've heard that had a satisfying progression for the "PHONY, PHONY, PHONYYY!" towards the end.
Your voice is so cool! It surprises me that you express almost everything of a song with simple words like “identity crisis.” I feel satisfaction with that every time. You're so smart😆
The delivery of "I say, why live and stay where everybody craves that thing known as love that will only bring us pain?" Along with the piano riffs in the background is just so incredibly satisfying to hear can't stop replaying it. 1:49
I honestly love it when I know some of the Japanese lyrics, and when I sing along in Japanese the words rhyme in English. I don’t you about you guys, but that just makes the entire experience more satisfying for me 😌
You're such a god. I've listened to this song so much I got bored of new covers. But THIS SHIT GOES SO HARD DUDE HOLY FUCK AND THE FIRST ORIGINAL ART ON THE CHANNEL CAN WE CELEBRATE THAT?!!?!?!!?
"I say, why live and stay, where everybody craves that thing known as love that will only bring us pain?" (1:49) This line hit HARD but I don't know why
Sayri, Dictate, and KiAme did such wonderful jobs with really making this song pop, this was amazingly done both technically and artistically, everyone involved should be super proud!! Happy birthday Will!!! This is def going on every playlist >:D
I’ve been wanting a phony cover for so long, this is more than I could’ve ever expected! As soon as you started singing, I got literal chills all over my body :0
Phony is such a powerfull song to sing and so hearing Will that has a tremendous singing voice do a cover of this is a absolute blessing to my ears. Thanks Will for another of you total banger covers that i will keep on repeat all day. o7
One word to describe this UNDERRATED Edit: I dont know how to put this into words but ever since i found this cover its been an ear worm for me for the past few weeks the music is just amazing and i can feel that will put effort in every one of his cover. In a nutshell,I love it
As a person that loves Phony (I’m japanese) and being able to speak English fluently, this is really beautiful, your also amazing at singing. Your epic ✨✨ keep up the good work!!
@@---ci6vv I was making a joke how people from countries that don't have English as the most common language like England and America have many many many people who learn the language and then speak it better then the people who literally grow up with it
Lyrics: They say flowers face and their beauty can't be weighed with flowers so fake It's all because the way things are made live on lies that fabricate Antipathy world I'll raise, right away, my umbrella that will shade my body from rain Now dampened by the pain, can't escape, here my bangs and heart remain All the trouble I face Before I knew, it withers way too soon, that one word that rings true And now, a fruit will bloom in my heart, I can't move Within the mirror's sight, there's a painting inside A sign of "makeup" lighting the loss in my life Papapparapappararappappa Let's play this game Where we count the riddles that we made Tatattaratattararattatta Why stay? Why stay? In this place and dance the night away? I just can't see the simple things I can't keep What am I supposed to be? Shaken by the hand of night, it seems stirring in a dream Like your love for me (It's leaving, it's leaving) I would cry and weep without a "bye" as I grieve Phony phony phony Still tangled up in lies, I see I'm just a fake, phony Antipathy world Before I knew, the sky, so very blue, joined an ugly old tune My colored view of you breaks away what you do Within the mirror's sight, there, I'm missing inside There lies a "fake" that's hiding the truth they can't find I say, why live and stay Where everybody craves that thing known as love that will only bring us pain? I play and swim today As I am left behind in every way by the train So dance the night away and Papapparapappararappappa We meant pretense As we sang with riddles in the end Tatattaratattararattatta Why then, why then Does it hurt so much right here again? I just can't change the days I only feel pain I can't escape this wave of limitless rain I would cry and weep without a "bye" as I grieve Phony phony phony Still tangled up in lies, I see you leave I just can't see the simple things I can't keep What am I supposed to be? Shaken by the hand of night, it seems stirring in a dream Like your love for me (It's leaving, it's leaving) I would cry and weep without a "bye" as I grieve Phony phony phony Still tangled up in lies, I see I'm just a fake, phony Antipathy world Just flowers that deceive, they keep this secret, fake, phony
Happy Birthday Man! This is one of my MOST anticipated covers from you. LETS DO THIS! Edit: the Cover was beautiful, one of my favourite covers yet, keep it up Will!
Happy Belated Birthday! I was really looking forward to this, amazing cover! 0:532:00 really like the tongue-rolls here! 2:132:42 the vocalisations here are great
I can’t speak Japanese, hope the translation understands what I am trying to say. As a fellow high school junior, I hope you make your dream a success! Good luck!
Wow- I’m so happy right now. I’ve been so excited for this cover for a long time and it has exceeded my expectations! I can’t even decide what I like the most about it- vocals, emotion, art, mixing, pv, lyrics- this is a masterpiece!! The slight growl in some lines was an incredible addition that just sounds so wonderful. No doubt one of your best covers yet! Forever a fan, keep up the fantastic work! If will sees this ily
Never heard this song before in my life but goddamn do I feel blessed to have this be my introduction to it thank you king very cool, your voice is immaculate as always
_pap-pa-ra-pap-pa-ra-rap-pap-pa~_ been waiting for this ooone! excited to finally add phony to all of my playlists sdfjaklf fantastic job & happy birthday will! hope you have a great day
I've REALLY waited for the English cover of "phony"......your cover always shows great respect for the original and gives me new interpretations for the song. It's nothing short of amazing!!!!!! ありがとうございます！
This was amazing, this english cover of phony sounded better than I thought, also the lyrics tho when they got translated and sang to English now hits different
how did i only discover this cover of phony today???? Like every part of this song sounds so GOOD!!! Love your covers Will, carry on popping off bestie ❤️
Is it possible to simp for someone's voice?? I've commented before but I love Will's covers so, so much. It's unlike other English covers as there's thought and careful craft to it, and he adds other elements such as additional voicework to a part originally meant for instrumentals. It really adds to the hype and makes each song he produces such a banger, and my day always becomes better whenever I see him upload because it sounds so much like he had fun doing it and that he's sharing this passion with us TvT
I've heard a couple of your covers over the years, like Ussewa by Ado and Yoh Kamiyama's Yellow and I just have to say: Always so well done. As someone who does choral music and loves to see how different people approach a song, this really excites me. You add such a lovely energy, perfect tuning and tone, and amazing dynamics along with the song. You have my kudos.

0:31 the way you intentionally used cracks in your voice to change octave (sorry i don't really know the lingo well) was fucking masterful
Lyrics:
They say flowers face and their beauty can't be weighed with flowers so fake
It's all because the way things are made live on lies that fabricate
Antipathy world
I'll raise, right away, my umbrella that will shade my body from rain
Now dampened by the pain, can't escape, here my bangs and heart remain
All the trouble I face
Before I knew, it withers way too soon, that one word that rings true
And now, a fruit will bloom in my heart, I can't move
Within the mirror's sight, there's a painting inside
A sign of "makeup" lighting the loss in my life
Papapparapappararappappa
Let's play this game
Where we count the riddles that we made
Tatattaratattararattatta
Why stay? Why stay?
In this place and dance the night away?
I just can't see the simple things I can't keep
What am I supposed to be?
Shaken by the hand of night, it seems stirring in a dream
Like your love for me
(It's leaving, it's leaving)
I would cry and weep without a "bye" as I grieve
Phony phony phony
Still tangled up in lies, I see I'm just a fake, phony
Antipathy world
Before I knew, the sky, so very blue, joined an ugly old tune
My colored view of you breaks away what you do
Within the mirror's sight, there, I'm missing inside
There lies a "fake" that's hiding the truth they can't find
I say, why live and stay
Where everybody craves that thing known as love that will only bring us pain?
I play and swim today
As I am left behind in every way by the train
So dance the night away and
Papapparapappararappappa
We meant pretense
As we sang with riddles in the end
Tatattaratattararattatta
Why then, why then
Does it hurt so much right here again?
I just can't change the days I only feel pain
I can't escape this wave of limitless rain
I would cry and weep without a "bye" as I grieve
Phony phony phony
Still tangled up in lies, I see you leave
I just can't see the simple things I can't keep
What am I supposed to be?
Shaken by the hand of night, it seems stirring in a dream
Like your love for me
(It's leaving, it's leaving)
I would cry and weep without a "bye" as I grieve
Phony phony phony
Still tangled up in lies, I see I'm just a fake, phony
Antipathy world
Just flowers that deceive, they keep this secret, fake, phony
Damn. The dedication. Very impressive.
