Yungblud has released a new song with Lil Yachty called When We Die (Can We Still Get High?). I thought I'd give it a listen, to see what's going on in that world. Has shoegaze indie made a comeback?! And I think the answer is no, sadly we can't still get high when we die. Oh well.
You can watch Yungblud and Lil Yachty's music video for When We Die here: • YUNGBLUD - When We Die...

Lookin better bro.
This might be a bit strange but i dont mind lil yachty, yeah he smashes the autotune but dunno, theres something there, he's alright 🤷🏼
Plenty of fluids man
Not piss 😂
If all else fails listen to rhyme of the acient mariner, hard not to get cranked up by that 👍🏻
Keep it real hawkins 🤟🏻
Hi Justin, I love your channel/music. Have you ever reviewed any unsigned artists? Just curious. I just started a new channel. Something to listen to for fun

Do Jinjer Hawkins! 😉
The band Jinjer, not Jinjer Hawkins 😌

"When we die, tell me can we still get high?, in a Champagne Supernova in the sky?"
No.
Too far.
Right?!
It also reminds me of Ordinary World (Duran Duran)... whatever :)
NO
I've said this before, but Justin's work ethic always blows my mind. He's not feeling great, recovering from a chest infection, and in a middle of the tour, and yet still manages to record and post all of these episodes for us. What a stand up man. Great analysis as always...Also, yay JH3000 tattoo!
Oh, JH3000! Thanks! Been trying to figure that one out! I really need new glasses!!
@@MariaFrancesca it's the model number he gave to the new signature Atkins guitar!
Wouldn’t you like to be mouse in HIS brain.
Brown-nosing goes a long way.
@@cindyadzukichang Aha! 🙂 The one with the silhouette?
That ending progressed from "the sound from karma police", through "inspired by karma police" to "basically just the ending from karma police" real quick.
i was thinking crawling up the walls
this is giving "wicked game", but done by Oasis in a collab with The Verve or at the very least Ashcroft solo
This is giving?
I’m hearing “Wicked Game” from Oasis. 😂
Tbf, I only know one song from The Verve, and none from Ashcroft.
@@SuziQ. if you know one The Verve song, you also know one Richard Ashcroft song, as he was/is their singer
Gives me verve vibes too
@@liannehoenderboom1018 ,
I only know “Bittersweet Symphony,” which doesn’t sound like this.
If Oasis and Radiohead had a baby, and it was missing a chromosome.
😂
👌
Ok, you win 😂
Extra chromosome*
Never laughed out loud to a comment before
My first impression is that I don't like it- then it started making me remember that this is exactly the kind of thing I used to like, when I was like 18. Still doesn't change the fact that I no longer care for it, and tbh it just makes me realize how stupid and full of it I was at 18. Can we get high when we...- wtf? I mean I get it, he's not being literal- it's symbolic I suppose of our need to keep using, even after it killed us- but as you grow older and more jaded- symbolism and poetic expression start feeling like pre-canned bubblegum bullshit used to sell songs and sound "cool" without ever really having said anything.
Cliche time. Art is subjective, bro. You can choose to be excited by discovery if you want.
@@667neighbourofthebeast You're right- that's a bunch of cliche' bullshit. Sell it to someone who isn't in their 50s pal- maybe they're still wide eyed and naive enough to buy it- but I'm not. I've worked as a session player before- I know how these things are put together, marketed, prepackaged, and sold- art my ass.
@@667neighbourofthebeast You know what- you're right. I'm leaving my initial comment up because I feel like it's a bit disingenuous to take it down- it is how I feel- but that doesn't make it right. You are right, art is subjective and I'm sure there are ppl who see art in this. It's unfair to talk about how it's put together and sold and all because that's not really the artist's doing- that's the ppl who own his art that are turning it into bubblegum. He unfortunately has to play along with them or, he doesn't get to make his art so- I get it. I'm just getting old and tired- maybe a bit sour.
@@stoneysdead689 A monkey, with the right tools, can create and compose music, and write lyrics. The 'art' part is making it good and original. Bad music is art also, but it has to be unintentional and the 'artist' unaware that it is bad. Which means that bad (Extreme bad, not mediocre bad.) music is actually good music, thus making it art. Bundling, packaging, marketing and selling to a niche demographic is an art. The perfect trajectory is if the art and the artist evolve and progress in parallel, which is almost impossible with the intersections of life's abnormal constructions. Art isn't static and uninteresting. Art is farce and flaw and 'authenticity' (The mac daddy of clichés.). Art is a love affair with the beast. (Or Mary Poppins. Whichever you prefer.)
Symbolism can be very deep and meaningful. And rational thought represented in another form.
Songs like this are the best arguments against getting high
You'd need to be wasted beyond belief to listen to this
As someone who has indulged in the past ain't no amount of drugs going to improve that.
Keats, Shelley... yungblud.
Funny detail: after watching your video, I watched the original video with the subtitles activated. They were in German for some reason, my mother-tongue. And the first line of the chorus «when we die» was translated as «Nach Freund Hein», which at face value means «after friend Hein». And "friend Hein" literally means "grim reaper" in German. So instead of using «when we die» («wenn wir sterben») they opted for «after Grim Reaper» in the subtitles. I find that very poetic, because the French caption actually uses the English wording 1:1. Other than that; I would have LOVED this song in the mid-nineties. And call me square for taking issue with lines like «take drugs with me». Then again, the world is going to s*ite in real time these days. Who could blame a lot of people for just giving up and seeking refuge in escapism. And that notion the song captures impeccably. Bottom line... I really like this song, despite its numerous shortcomings, for it sounds gen and sincere (despite borrowing heavily), which is what most popular songs lack these days.
I interrupted a tutorial on how to build a DIY drum sander to watch a pitiful reworking of mid-nineties Brit-Pop acoustic strumming, Auto-tuned to within an inch of its life. Thanks, Yungblud. Now, where was I?
...Step 19: Tighten the set screws to ensure the drum is securely fixed to the coupler. Check that the drum aligns with the motor shaft to avoid imbalance or vibration.
@@thewonkyembouchure Sage advice. Thank you. Will do!
lol
"Maybe you have to be in a specific mood to enjoy this."
I'll never be in that mood.😕
The Chris Isaak comparison is pretty on but it strikes me as Oasis's Cast No Shadow with Ok Computer's Climbing Up the Walls' drums and production.
Not to mention the self-oscillating delay feedback trick lifted straight off the Karma Police outro.
6:11 “Come and do drugs with me”😂😂😂😂
Found this channel yesterday and while I'm catching up on old episodes, you drop this new one. I only have so much time in the day
Sorry, I usually release more in a week but I'm on tour in Australia with The Darkness right now!
@@JustinHawkinsRidesAgain,
0:50
Did you record this in Japan to upload later?
It seems like you were just in NZ, and had to postpone some concerts due to illness, and it was 107.6F in NZ. No wonder you’ve been sick. Time changes, travel, temperature changes, back to back performances… I hope you feel better soon.
Wonderful ya manage to deliver for us again Mr H x wish I knew what you were saying.....too distracted by ya Tats!!! 😂❤
@@JustinHawkinsRidesAgain looked like you made two videos in one day, wow, rest that voice please lovely man. Love the lips shirt too 😘
Ah, he found the St Anger snare
Noo don't remind me of that atrocity 🙈😂
Everytime a Gen z claims to have reinvented the wheel in some way it's always some regurgitation of something that came before but glossier and lacking verisimilitude. It's fine to be inspired by stuff in the past and the song isn't horrible but it feels like a hollow Oasis over produced vocals with a shoegaze song bolted on the end.
Taking a few elements of other successful songs and making something less than the sum of its parts.
there are gen-z artists doing new things. look at gabby start, julie, brakence, origami angel. all very different sounds but its undeniable that they're paving their own path.
A bit like Oasis and the Beatles then
Yup.. I saw some comments on the video not even knowing it sounded like an oasis track and they said it sounded like "90s grunge" me: 🤦🏻
Surely you are not suggesting that Justin himself invented spandex headbanging music?
Funny story: My friend can almost 100% nail your vocals in "I believe in a thing..." and back in (when your song just came out) high school we were big nerds, but out of nowhere- he did it at a Karaoke party, he tore the house down. It was the most brave thing I've ever see a shy person do... at a huge party that was mainly singing R&B, Rap and soft rock songs. Just nail the high notes with POWER and CONFIDENCE.
Its shame thats not on video! It really had to be epic.
Love it. Was one of my favourite songs on the sing star I bought my kids back in the early 2000's. I gave it all I got but unfortunately I lack the necessary skills but not the enthusiasm!
Why would i listen to that when i could just listen to what inspired it, which didn’t suck.
Brother-get some rest. We need you around and healthy❤️
Loved hearing a bit of you singing Chris Isaak's 'Wicked Game' (one of my all time fave songs) - safe travels for the rest of the Aussie tour!
Justin, I hope you feel better soon! Also, the struggles w the power cord today are hilariously relatable! The struggle is real! I’m glad you kept that part in the video 😂 And the shirtless look is lovely, made my day 🥰
I just picked up on something Justin. In this video, you were really close to the camera, and seeing you that close was actually like having a friend over to listen to a tune. If you ever pop over I will break out the backgammon.
Strong oasis vibes, no surprise, original creativity has hit a wall, life's just a remix with nothing new at all.
Now those are good lyrics!
Definitely lyric material, write a song with it 😎
Try just him, acoustic
ua-cam.com/video/uB97lRQ51cY/v-deo.htmlsi=qVHeLfiIsFh_RkH1
Feel better soon!
Justin:
I gotta admit when I first saw you in the darkness in your video I didn't get the parody (thing called love). I though you were trying to look like Led Zeppelin or something and you were just "too cool for school" as the saying goes. Now SO many years later FINALLY I get the joke watching the video.
I stumbled across your channel/videos via Ren. Flash forward and now I really look forward to these. The deconstruction of songs is like being in a class with you as a teacher/mentor so thank you.
You NAILED it on this video. Wicked Game, Oasis, Radiohead, 90's indie beat.
The only thing I would explain is I THINK the auto tune has reached a point where it's a cultural thing instead of a tool. In that genre the artists WANT that warble sound. Drives me insane but I suppose it's just a vocal "effect" at this point like any other effect.
Thanks man!
Change the lyrics to:
"When we get high... can we still die?"
"Yes, yes you can"
That auto tune “warble” sound is horrible. My nephew refused to believe me when I pointed it out years ago when he was a teen, and listened to that garbage. He insisted that it wasn’t an effect. I wonder how many teens think that voices do that?
@@SuziQ. God I hope not! Lol.
@@SuziQ. A lot😢
You came here FOR REN? LIKE REN GILL?
@@noonerulesmeBLUD yeah Ren Gill. He did a breakdown of one of his songs. Super talented artist.
I absolutely 💯 fucking love you, your band, your music and Justin Hawkins Rides Again!! Wish you guys could do a few dates in Maryland USA 🇺🇸 🙏!!
Did you see they’re playing at a festival in Ocean City in September?
No, it doesn't work. No light. No light at all! 🙈
So much to comment today!
03:53 🤣🤣🤣 I love these videos out of your comfort zone
06:56 that head dance is infectious😂 I've been doing it uncounciously too
07:44 😅😅😅
08:55 you nailed it there!
We should see how this song sounds live...
Nice one!👍 Happy Friday!!!Yay!!!🥳
Comments Day Question: Is there a song or band from your youth that you just weren’t into very much, but as an adult you have a whole new appreciation for?
Yeah! What about that?
Good question, and also the inverse: is there a song or band that Justin loved as a youth, and can’t stand now?
The way it is by Bruce Hornby and the range, its so 80's Americana in all the worst ways but I love it.
Hahahaha the look on Justin’s face right after he repeated “come and do drugs with me” was PRICELESS 😂😂😂
Looks like Duckie from “Pretty in Pink” sounds like Oasis, another original tune from this generation.
Ayo don’t insult my boy Duckie like that….
Normally love yb music.its soft on the ears.but this song is just damp washing.gives me earache.
OMG…I thought the same when I glanced at the thumbnail. LOL. But yeah, Duckie is awesome.
New artwork on the torso since the hawk? Do you always use the same tattooist?
Liam Gallagher swagger, Liam Gallagher/ Beatles-esque hair-do, Lennon glasses and a mention of 'sunshiiiiiine', or something similar Hmmmmm....
He's modelled more on Tim Burgess from The Charlatans, the t shirt, the glasses, the hair, even the mouth. I'm not getting Liam that heavily
@@mistermatix8241 I think there's definitely some Tim in there, but I think there's something about the beginning that reminds me of Wonderwall. Perhaps the swagger is homage to Richard Ashcroft in Bitter Sweet Symphony too.
@@nikoletta7678 yeah I think you're right, but I do think Tim is his big inspiration here.
2:23 😂that got me!!
There is also a bit of 60's nostalgia in this song as well. Synths after Yungbluds finishes singing (before Lil Yachty starts) are reminiscent of strings/synths in The Moody Blues 1968 song "Legend of a Mind", which is about LSD man Timothy Leery (a clinical psychologist at Harvard who researched, experimented and advocated for psychedelic drugs). In the middle is a slowed down (due to slower tempo) of the "na na-na na" which is reminiscent of Deep Purple's 1968 song "Hush". To me the psychedelic nature of this song is why the vocals have the vocoding and auto-tune effects. In my mind the song shows influences from the 60's, and also the 90's as mentioned in this video, but interpreted & presented in 21st century 2020's vibes. I don't mind when a song is expressed in the modern day from some influences that stretch back 30-60 years. And besides the melody is awesome.
What are those new tattoos? Is one a JP8000, as in the Roland synth?
Good to see you better
We missed you so much in NZ! Cant wait til next time around. Enjoy Oz 🎉
This is exactly the kind of music generative AI can produce with a 5 word prompt.
Looking forward to seeing you guys playing live in Melbourne tonight. 🥰😁🤘🎸
Hope you continue to get better, too, Justin. ❤ Make sure you guys stay hydrated, it's gonna be a hot day/night in Melbourne the next couple of days.
I've been surprised by how much I enjoy the channel. Cheers. As for this tune... I like the unashamedly 90's indie sound, but the lyrics are a bit shite, no?
Yup, that's shite.
Really fond of boats...and looks like a boat... Best bits.
Can we still get high while looking back at the Wicked Champagne Supernova Game in anger?
Thanks Justin, this one made me smile. Your theme version on the intro was pretty sweet too😊
When we diiiiie. Tel me can we still eat piiiiiie... I think I prefer my lyric 😂😂
I like your lyrics
The Beatles did, too ;)
1:40 and you don't think it's "lil" as in... what?
I don't mind this jingle at all. I did pick up the Radiohead element and a dash of Muse. Those were the good old days my friends.
Man, you sold me! I saw your link and I was all like who the f? But saw it was about Youngblood. Brother I blew a snot bubble laughing! However I wasn’t a huge fan of this song but you lit it on fire and put it out by pissing on it. Thanks man, thanks. What’s even more mind blowing is the first song I learned how to play on the guitar was that damn Oasis song! How in the ever loving f did I f’ing miss that????
I swear that snare is a Radiohead sample
Pretty much stole the entire drum sound from climbing up the walls
“Is it someone who is very very small and looks like a boat?” 😂👌
Yungblud always seems to take the chords of a popular song from 30 years ago, put some drumbeat from another song and make a new song out of it.
Not very imaginative, but very efficient. PLUS his audience wasn’t born 30 years ago and don’t care much for their parents’ music anyways, so… yeah. He figured it out.
If he is repackaging the songs and selling em to the kids (successfully), then it goes against your point… they like the music, but are too ignorant or stupid to realize it without some help.
@@nickhall1115 No.
My point is: he's figured out a method to write "hits". And that, while us old farts dismiss it as "copycat behaviour", the youngsters don't care where it comes from.
Like, his song "Fleabag" is basically wonderwall chords on "Smells like teen spirit" structure. And it works well.
But honestly, everybody rehashes stuff anyways: The Beatles stole from rock n' roll, Rn'b and vocal girl groups; Led Zeppelin basically looted bluesmen and Nirvana is nothing more than mid-tempo punk with good melodies and Bonham on drums (and sometimes a Killing joke riff).
You can't create from nothing, so... yeah, he's doing a good job.
@@stephanemeloI think he has marketing and writing teams making this stuff
Majority of his audience are millennial/early genz. I’m 26 and I’ve listened to his stuff here and there and like it
@@milly4556 Well yeah, which means you weren't born yet when Oasis and Nirvana thrived (nor when the Cure's "Close to me" was released). That's my point.
(That being said, I was a teen at the time and still like Yungblud. Saw him at the festival a couple years ago, he was honestly the best gig of the day, despite not being on top of the bill)
Anyway, that's ok, I'm not slagging off younger people at all, we all didn't care about "our parent's music". All I'm saying is: he's a clever chap who figured it out.
As a precursor for music to come, it shows great potential. The partnering of these two singers is their originality.
In italy these songs are called "vegetables soup"😂
What would the equivalent of that be in English? Mish mash?
@@SoupieGuitaryes but the taste is not so good
Justin Fucking Hawkins Rides Againnnnn!!! 🎉🎸🎶🎶
…..agaiiiiinnnnnnnnn 🎸
Ahh. There you are, Nicolas! 🤘🏻
@@revwillyg6450 😎🤟🏽
I’m so glad 90’s indie is back. I’ve been stuck in it my whole life, now I get some new. Yungblud hasn’t ever disappointed though.
I really feel for you today Mr H, you look weary.
Not a criticism, genuine empathy 💕
Thought I was watching an Oasis video with a guy from Supergrass instead of Liam 😂
Gaz Coombes actually has talent is the difference in this case
Was dead on arrival at the local hospital with a massive heart attack. You know it's coming but when it happens it's just like a light being switched off. There's absolutely zero. As you will have correctly assumed, they got me going again 🙂
Well hmm. As someone who chases the sound of her childhood, born in 1990, this sounds oddly comforting. Never listened to a song by this artist before and doubt I'd listen to anything else but I do oddly like this one.
I seriously thought i was looking at Billy Eyelash until the vocal started😂
Enjoyed it!
Am I the only one who reads the episode title thinking Justin is going to trash it, then he doesn’t?
Yup
as an avid psychedelic music fan, listen to the Lil Yachty album Let’s Start Here… you won’t be disappointed. Kanye esque, the rapper uses auto tune and modulation as an instrument
I appreciate the subtle shade at the song’s glamorizing getting high to the point of self-destruction
On a real note i need to hear a full cover of wicked game
This song is actually nice.
"sorry to double down on that" bahaha
Master Hawkins, looking quite dapper in black trousers ❤
You heard wicked game but I heard wonderwall and champagne supernova
I just love how genuine and normal Justin is. He's so extravagant on stage yet off stage theres none of that diva shit we see from a lot of artists. He seems like the sorta guy you could just go out for a couple pints with and have a genuine down to earth laugh with
The intro also reminds me so much of Dark Therapy by Echo Belly
Jayler (from the UK) are fantastic can you please check out their tracks 'No Woman' and 'Take Me Home' , they're all kids (under 20) yet are giving us a fresh take on the likes of their influences i.e. AC/DC , Free , Led Zeppeiin, T.Rex, Guns N Roses etc and yet rather than merely ape those who inspire them rather transcend their spirit for a new generation and geezers such as i alike. i would also highly recommend Dead Air (also from the UK) , Silver Roller (whose vocalist reminds me loads of Paul Rodgers of Bad Company/Free) and a band called English Teacher who are less traditional rock and more akin to Sonic Youth, Pixies, Wolf Alice and The Fall (or at least thats who they bring to mind when i hear them).
Can't wait to see you guys in Canberra! :)
I was really hoping you’d sing the entire Chris Isaak song
Forgot watch I was watching lol
Apart from the the whole dying thing....I'd love to witness the first person at the pearl gates asking St Peter for some gear.
Love seeing the tattoos, you look like a yakuza guy, but a really cool one
Side hustle: stunt double for anime
I thought he has irezumi style work at first, western tattoos are rarely this vivid but it looks great
When you don’t parent your kids
No
Big thanks to you & Jenny for bringing even more music into my life❤
Thanks so much Jen, that's really kind!
Welcome to Australia, hope you are enjoying your time.
Hey Justin can you use some compression in your videos so I can watch them in the break room at work without having to fiddle with the volume button ?
Justin just wanna say you were great playing the Rivi Ayala character on the Griselda series!
Oh my gosh, YES!!! I knew he reminded me of someone but I couldn't put my finger on it!!!
Good day! 🧡
Here ! That's a funky neck on the axe
En gustos, colores 😊
You said everything.. As a gentleman.. We all understood 😂
Oh man I remember short stay efficiencies like that place when traveling. They all look the same in Berlin, Amsterdam... When you get down to Paris you get cooler old digs. But hey, they work better than hotels and they leave you tf alone. Cheers man. Have fun on tour.
Fancy shirt
Question: Good day to you Justine,love the channel.Your such a positive chap do you ever get angry/pissed off at anything….what grinds your gears? Cheers.
Honestly, I don’t mind your music, JH, but wouldn’t say a fan either. But these videos are GOLD. Wicked games, also GOLD. Thanks mate, keep fn rockin.
I do like the song 👍
Definitely get Oasis - roll it over vibes especially on the drums! Still sounds good👌
A Temu shit version of Oasis. Shit sucks.
I heard a bit of The Verve in there. Can someone check me on this?
“Probably really fond of boats” 😂😂 this guy has no idea how funny he is
Ooooh Mr H in the semi buff.
What a rare treat 😀
Nice sharing Vidio 🇮🇩🌸💗😍👍👍
“At least they’ve gone back 30 years before they’ve taken something that’s very obviously Radiohead”
Classic.
The best thing about this song 🫣 is your review. 🎉
Chapterhouse... Done :)
