Okay, so I’m in the car listening to the radio, heard the intro to Harry’s original version (barely hearing it once before), but got SO excited because I was like, “BLANKS HAS A SONG ON THE RADIO IN THE U.S. “ then I realized it was Harry & not Simon 🙃
Come to think of it the song's got a def 80s vibe NO WONDER HE NAILED IT It's his specialty! Plus I truly appreciate that he's keeping this one hour song challenge series for more than 3 years. It's a big deal!
Its crazy to see how the 1 hour song challenge series has evolved: from making an exact replica, to completely changing the genre, to my personal favourite nice middle ground. Love your videos - keep going!
i’m in love with this man’s energy. i came back to this channel after a year of not watching and i forgot how absolutely incredible he is and now i get to come back to this channel as a new bass player
"As It Was" is my all time favorite song, and I can *never* stop listening to it! Your singing was wonderful, and watching you remake the song was quite thrilling. The final product was awesome!
Yeah same. I first heard the tune on the radio. Via my TX-SR 373 Onkyo AVR. I was like oooo love this little ditty. It's got 23 year old girl vibes about it. Love me some 20s chick vibes. But any who, then when I listened more and more critically I realized yeah this totally has the happy teanie vibes of my next door 23 year old neighbor Sierra. Once I realized it has Sierra vibes as you said can't stop listening to the tune. I've also listened to the atmos stems. Ah that just expozed the Sierra vibes even more. Let's see here. Ah the Aha Take On Me thing. Meh not really. I can kinda see how people try and compair it to that but meh the Weeken Blinding Lights feels more Take on Me then this.
this is genuinely so good!! the mixing makes my ears so happy I legitimately come back just to listen to it a bunch plEase drop a full cover on streaming 🥺🥺🥺 just for myself: starts at 5:40!
Hi Leonie 👋 I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your profile tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment, I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement. I will like to be your friend. Thanks God bless you
I have been getting your channel suggestions for a long time I mean a really long time and I never checked it out , then one day I saw a random short of you singing that new song which goes “So I lose myself, but I won’t start over” and now you’ve earned a fan. Keep up the good work I regret not checking this channel out sooner.
Blanks this is single handedly one of the greatest videos I've ever watched. I just came across your channel from a recommendation and usually I don't leave comments at all. I've never had such a burst of energy, talent, character and skill in 7 minutes, with perfection in condensing down what you did to make the song from 60 to 7 minutes. I love making music so this was super inspirational and insightful you are a legend ❤️
Man. I haven't played my guitar or piano in a while, at least 3months, and this man just inspired me in the 2mins I'm in the video, to start playing music again loll. It's such a beautiful thing how we humans can bring each other together, keep on mates, keep spreading love
yesss!!! Idk how I missed this upload, was waiting for it for a while, this version is a lot more laid back and stripped down to an exent which I love!! Also you have improved tremendously looking at the tiny details
I don't even know what to say!! I mean your talent is mind blowing!!! As a big fan of H work, I'm so glad you made this video! This version is... Is... Is AMAZING!!! ❤️❤️❤️
My roommate was listening to ‘As it was’ by Harry Styles in her room two weeks ago (first time I heard it) and I asked her if it was a new Blanks song. Totally sounds like something that you could’ve made!
nah, you don’t understand how attractive this man’s skills are to me
It is genuinely so captivating to watch him slowly piece everything together
abit sus
@@Jp-wr2mq how about u do it then
fr, like don’t be shy let’s go get coffee and talk about songwriting
Oooof +1
your singing has improved a lot!!! love this remade cover!!!
thank you so much means a lot!!!!!
His dance moves too✨😜
yeah noticed that listening back to the old songs, you've definitely improved a ton!
yes wow, I was really impressed!!!
@@MusicbyBlanks got any tips n tricks?
This song already gives me Blanks vibes, so you remaking it is just perfect
That’s exactly what I thought!
YOOOOO, WE GOT THE SAME BRAINSSS

hahahahha ONE DAY
@@MusicbyBlanks if any of us can it’s you lol
SAME, IT HAS SIMON STYLE
same here in West Michigan - but of course Blanks HAD to remake this one - he is our Dutch "Harry"!
I want a full cover of this song
Come to think of it the song's got a def 80s vibe NO WONDER HE NAILED IT It's his specialty!

Listen to Blossoms if you like that sort of stuff
@@iwanjoness blossoms are the shit
Harry Styles? Perfect.
Blanks? Perfect!
Combined? Too perfect 🔥
Its crazy to see how the 1 hour song challenge series has evolved: from making an exact replica, to completely changing the genre, to my personal favourite nice middle ground. Love your videos - keep going!
Every 1 hour song challenge ends in a satisfying “wooooo” with all the reverb and delay effects from the main vocal :)
i’m in love with this man’s energy. i came back to this channel after a year of not watching and i forgot how absolutely incredible he is and now i get to come back to this channel as a new bass player
SHEESH! This needs a full version. PLEASE. Its got so much character in the verse, I love it!!
i can see all that touring has made a serious enhancement of your vocals! can’t wait for you to tour the US
You are the same as when I first saw you in 2019. You never get old. You always ROCK!! 🔥 You always have tricks up your sleeve. Love from Japan 🇯🇵
I enjoy watching your videos so much!
This was crazy good, whAT?!?? I’m in love with the vibes of this version, and your voice matches it so perfectly in every way 🤍🤍 much love
Your pfp is awesome
@@mustynoob9229 🧢
This song is really a "Blanks type beat". I wonder if Harry Styles heard Simon's album and was like "ooh I'm gonna do that" hahaha
I'm the "Harry definitely should see this!!" button. Btw I like your vibe 😊
THIS NEEDS TO BE LONGER SIMON!!!!😍😍
"As It Was" is my all time favorite song, and I can *never* stop listening to it! Your singing was wonderful, and watching you remake the song was quite thrilling. The final product was awesome!

imagined simon bouncing around to the intro of as it was when it was released, and now i’m actually seeing him bouncing around to it 🥹🫶
"I need to be happy, I need to feel happy" -I get u boy 🥺💖
this is genuinely so good!! the mixing makes my ears so happy I legitimately come back just to listen to it a bunch plEase drop a full cover on streaming 🥺🥺🥺
just for myself: starts at 5:40!
At this point I don't even care if he does this in an hour or a full month, it's just awesome
Okay but lets be honest any remake of As It Was is fire so good job! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
man every time one of these videos comes out it feels like the song gets cut off way to short, I just want to listen forever😭
This is gonna be fire I already know
hold your horses im competing with THE mister styles!!!!
@@MusicbyBlanks Hahaha ♥️
love this remake!! the reverb on the vocals adds such a cool vibe
It is giving me AHA’s take on me vibes and I’m living for it
I NEED this version on Spotify omg
You truly are incredibly talented, I can tell you’ve put so much time and effort in to music, and it’s really paid off. 💛
First of all THE EDITING is superior!!!!!! And IN LOVE WITH YOUR VOICE

He's like the king of non awkward musical yells 😂
This sounds like AHA covering Harry styles. Genius!
Harry: "answer the phone"
Simon: "yes"
