OH MY GOD, I can't. I can't handle this. This is so good. From her poetry to her music to her covers... Mary Lambert is perfection.

[@moehrengruen1196]

Carrie Ryan she’s a goddess

[@kalahariwayrest]

Huh. Yeah, this is great. Don't get me wrong, I always loved the original. But she puts so much alienation and loneliness into this - thematically reminds me a bit of Creep. The original put me in a different frame of mind (which seemed a bit more of a knowing-self-mocking-middle-finger, which is seemed aptly teen-aged).
Love it or hate it, she's put her own interpretation on it. Which is what you're supposed to do with covers.

[@TheOneAndOnlyIt]

I know it’s cold in my house. But this definitely gave me chills.

[@lilpackerfreak]

only she can make "tube socks" sound beautiful and serious.

[@laurengails1fan285]

the way she sings the song, u can tell she understands what its like

[@jeeither]

I went on youtube looking for a piano cover of Teenage Dirtbag, and this is along the lines of what I wanted. I hope people keep covering this because it's such a great fucking song.

[@sweetliketorydean]

+Jessica W I did a cover check it out if you want

[@shegoeslightly]

+Tory Dean where do you find the piano music to play this version? ta! x

The most beautiful cover I have ever heard. Words cannot do this justice.

[@emmerz7]

[@Mattcox2200]

Best cover ever heard, a wonderful slowed down and emotional take on a classic, I would even go as far to say it is better than the original. And that sleeve

[@moonsongatmorning]

[@jvferrer05]

[@mariamattaful]

I used to think teenage dirtbag was a gay song too when I was a teenager lol he really does have a high pitched voice lol

[@hannahbrennan2311]

beautiful

[@hortoninkorporated7563]

angel voice

[@nikkijaneallison]

Holy shit.. when I was a kid I also thought this was a lesbian love song. I thought the vocalist was a girl! Hahaha

[@belugu2342]

Omg! What a lovely face! She naild it!

[@MarekCvach]

Amazing voice!

[@WhyWeWatch1]

Loved it!

[@gwydionskinner8870]

Damn near balling my eyes out - damn.

[@XxCrAiGz93xX]

honestly i liked her starting off slow. but there should be a part of the song where it speeds up. anyone else agree? its just not teenage dirtbag anymore...

[@maritabray188]

It's not really supposed to be though, you know? This one is raw and more obvious. It brings something different. I think covers shouldn't remind you of the original song. Personal opinion, though.

[@chadphriday197]

I prefer the faster tempo but I love how she made it her own, which is often the purpose of covers. It sounds awesome.

[@ellierose5234]

Mary, you rock!!

[@handgemachtnaildesignbymel2951]

Holy shit. I’ve got no words... thank you so much!

[@nena454]

Love it..

[@polyjuiceguzzler]

Mary is perfect! :3

[@dfjshjkd]

[@canterballevans6412]

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

[@jamesperson]

Why's it censored?? Billboard or UA-cam restrictions?

[@ddaro_ss]

I was in a club when I first heard this song and I really thought it was a song about lesbian love, LOL. Generally acknowledged high-pitched voice, I'm glad I'm not alone.

[@heathertucker357]

Wow....

[@dolcezza28n]

classy!

[@emilly230899]

Gave me chills!!!

[@nubian_goat]

nicee

[@madelinewalls8549]

I came out at 14 at it was so hard. I had practiced it in my had for weeks. Then the day day came and everyone looked at me said is this necessary. You're wasting our time. We all already knew. It felt so weird and right at the same time

[@hehmer]

Ha, I had also thought the song was about lesbian love, I'm glad I wasn't the only one :)

[@ellr2757]

Your so beautiful I love you so much!😍☺️
