I had to stop work when I heard this and cry for 20 minutes because on top of the FOB album that just dropped which is THE millennial breakup album imho, this came behind and double tapped me
I was also broken up with after nine years in August for a communication breakdown, but even the thought of laughing about very bad mobile game ads with him (remember C***Wars? Popped up on putlockers for a year or so, the algorithm giving two gay men that one made me laugh and laugh) is still so hard that I had to put it away for a month after hearing it the first time Part of what makes the song so good is that it points out some real problems we had when we were together, but I would rather go back to than move on.. only now I feel like I *could* fix them, and it’s too late. unexpectedly heartbreaking
The line “you better have treated your better half better but you’re too sad” really punched me in the fucking teeth because I’d been letting myself fall into depression and had started letting my relationship sink in favour of feeling sorry for myself all day.

Been searching for 5 minutes for a single comment praising the astonishing SONGWRITING. Not just from a lyrical perspective, but purely a musical and harmonic one. That's grade A musical harmonic arrangement and the melody just fit's on top of the lyrical meaning like a cherry. Brian and Jonah Scott are profoundly gifted musicians.
Oh it's standard for BDG, between One Day, the Hurdy Gurdy song, the Hat Song, it's why people keep coming back to this channel cos he can so perfectly blend composition and comedy ❤
I really enjoy how Karen shot this one. I think it would have been easy to have all of the ads fill the screen and look pristine but something about the irl feel either gives the perspective of the wife's partner watching these ads, or (perhaps) more tragically the wife seeing her partner view these ads over their shoulder evident by the intro/outro shot of panning over Brian's shoulder
BDG is an old-school youtuber. No format. No schedule. No focus on a single subject matter. Just pure personality. A throwback to when you would subscribe to someone and you'd get a vlog, a skit, or a song parody depending on what they felt like. Maybe those kinds of youtubers are still around but I haven't seen them in a while.
From the ‘wife’ (partner of 6 years) ‘s perspective, it broke my heart anyway, and the secrets only made it worse. If you’re struggling with something, cheating, addiction, disinterest etc, please just tell them, I promise it will hurt them less than finding out. Don’t prioritise your guilt over respect for your partner. Oh and great song Brian x
It's also one of the more robust tracks he's released in terms of instrumentation and arrangement, in contrast to some of his sparser older work. The fact that he can carry the melody with what sounds like a single-track vocal and zero or close to zero pitch correction is extremely impressive. It just speaks to the power of an earnest tone and clever lyrics.
The singing is never the joke except for the fact that someone so wildly talented as a vocalist would apply it to such silly subject matter. We need this.
Man BDG has such a pretty falsetto. Excellent voice all around but that moment near the end where he breaks into falsetto for a sec is just gorgeous. What a great group between the three of them that worked on this.
From the making of video on Patreon it was noted he sung it slower originally, but when he contracted a Jonah Scott for a better backing track Jonah sped it up a bit. That means it's actually higher pitched than normal, but I think that really added to it.
Everybody listen to The Altogether challenge (brian left the band before they made their second full album Fences but features heavily on Silo and the EPs When We Were Kids and Look Up as well as some other singles all of which are really really good)
BDG is goals for me: - Beard - Volume in hair - Pretty outfits aplenty - Clean singing voice - Making funny jokes and songs based on a really goofy premise - Genuinely really clever lyricism still based on that same goofy premise Androgynous musical comedy goals
@@xqsk4506 its always a three-way gamble whether Mr Gilbert uploads something silly and fun, deeply emotional, or existentially terrifying and sometimes its just all of the above
This was absolutely an excuse for Brian to buy a whole new wardrobe and claim it as a tax write off. Edit: Holy cow I can't spell/how did this get 12k?
Not enough people are talking about the EDITING. Either he pre-recorded all those videos and installed them onto separate screens to shoot, or he found filters that make it look like a camera shooting a screen. Either way, incredible, so much effort.
My guess is they screen captured actual websites, cut out some or all the real content, and then masked in the videos of Brian and filmed it again literally playing on their computer screen.
I have watched this video so many times because i just cannot figure out how he did it. The ads (as far as i can tell) perfectly match the effects that happen when a camera records a screen with the focus and moire effect, and the tracking is perfect. I assume he somehow replaced the ad with the video by messing with the website, but I have no idea. This whole video is incredible.
@@Dr.Coconut1245 They just made a screenshot of the website, and incorporated the screenshoted image into the video. Then they played the video on the computer screen. Basically what Ally Moy said.
I imagine this would hit so hard if I were a married middle aged man disenchanted with his marriage. Instead, I'll just say how beautiful your voice sounds and that your outfits looked amazing 💕
I think it’s a testament to his acting skills to be able to convey four completely different characters in the ads and have them come off as different people. The innocent farm girl, the delicate and pure Angel, the seductive beach woman, and the heartbroken, sad main woman in the grotto. All of them were distinctive just based off of his mannerisms and facial expressions, even his eyelid posture. Incredible.
And each one has a musical motif, like the angel always returning to a root note or the beach lady doing pop vocal runs and the farm lady in the lyrics always does the most critical statements
OKAY the narrative structure here is INCREDIBLE...!! this song is a full on rollercoaster, transforming from a funny gimmick into a beautiful fantasy, into psychoanalysis for the strained relationship of a gamer seamlessly... and it all culminates beautifully into a calm climax, where two punchlines are presented one after the other over beautiful piano chords..... this is a masterpiece 💖
@@elinquisidorperseverante6835 I think it's that he already downloaded the game before. The cloud icon means that it'll be redownloaded from the cloud, not downloaded from the app store for the first time. So he's played it before and deleted it and is crawling back to it lol
@@elinquisidorperseverante6835 the first punchline IMO is the new after chorus lyric ''cause it will just break her heart..'' which reveals that 'The Game' has already become the issues of the strained relationship. It's not really a joke, but it actually is because it hammers in how much the narrative and gimmick has been altered to represent something much more deep and emotional than anyone would expect at the start. also it is LESS THAN 10 SECONDS from the second punchline (the one you noted) which is PURELY VISUAL!!!!!!!! LIKE DAMN BRIAN U MAD GENIUS
I thought the 2nd punchline was that based on the way the person downloading the game is dressed, it seems to be just some kid, insinuating that the only people that would click on these game ads are horny kids, making the whole dramatic narrative about a marriage relationship completely null
2:52 I get goosebumps every time I hear the climax. The rising melody, descending chord progression, the main flaw in why the player can't come to terms with 'restarting' his relationship with his wife, all paying off from the buildup.
I love how instead of landing on a chord that is "satisfying", it ends with one that intentionally leaves the listener feeling like there was missed potential. I do not need to explain the symbolism.
And it gets into seriously unpacking the messy psychological state of the kind of person this throwaway line is implying would be responsive to marketing like that.
These ads are found in "chumboxes": the clusters of low quality clickbait links that show in a grid. There is a wikipedia page and everything. Google chumboxes, shudder, and thank god for ad blockers.
i love when comedians who are usually known for having the most insane twists on a subject decide to play it as straight as possible, to great effect. like based on BDG's usual content it's so easy to expect this to devolve into a horror segment but no, he plays it completely straight and turns it into a song about the devastating heartbreak of a failing marriage. it kind of reminds me of Diane Morgan's Philomena Cunk skits where she usually has these insane nonsense responses to the subject matter that the experts discuss, but in that one segment where she talks to an expert who reveals that atomic bombs are actually in use, she starts crying and it's the most normal, sane response you should expect from someone, but because it's from Philomena it's played to really great effect
I was fully expecting a horror video, not a depressing yet well-made song. I think this is his long-game, when he hasn't produced a horror video in so long that we open his newest video, smiling already, full of glee to see what beautiful singer normal man BDG has served up for us today, and it gives us nightmares for weeks.
What is this “normal man BDG” BS? That’s Brian David Gilbert; Safety Fan and Bureaucratic Wunderkind right there! #onlytruefanswon’ttelltheirwivesaboutthisgame
That was such a good message, honestly. Thanks for hitting on that subject, Brian. Not enough people talk about how so many marriages fall apart because people aren't willing to try and fix the broken parts and do the work of choosing to love and listen to each other even when it's hard. But you can do it! Don't let pride and past mistakes make you give up on healing your relationship! You can do it!
Not a marriage, but my ex broke up with me 'cause he felt like we had just gone back to being friends only. Didn't even try to fix it together even though I said I wanted to. :/ I know it's on him, but it still sucks.
It's good to see Brian is still nurturing the Halo obsession that began when he read the entire Halo library for Unraveled. It's a lifelong passion that never goes away, even when you're temporarily distracted on the wiki by ads for mobile games.
The fact that Sexy Matchup has already been downloaded(and then deleted) implies a lot of lore. Also the latest update to said app is a reference to that one game testing ad.
I dont know how else to tell you that this video has had an incredible impact on my life and relationship with my now wife, I listen every few months to remind me of how important it is to keep focused on maintaining US, thank you BDG
I’m an AMAB person who wore a dress for the first time last month And seeing Brian in several, just gave me some very nice reassurance and a real calm peace of mind
2:21 I love this part the most, and one of my favorite additions is how "The Truth" is handled here. It just plainly says "The Truth" on two personal statements before switching to gaming analogies that are used to hide said truth. It progressively gets more personal and deep into the issue while simultaneously getting more vague and detached. It also just bangs severely, overall a fantastic piece of music.
@@Speghettica He is! Jonah Scott is the main producer for The Altogether, all of Let's Make a Music (where he also cohosts the original season with Brian and Laura, later replaced by Karen), and loads of Brian's solo stuff. You can hear him sing on a lot of Altogether tracks as well, especially now that Brian's left the band. Their new album is about 50/50 sung by Jonah and his sister
@@Speghettica It might take a bit of getting used to, but it's really well made, it has a lot of that same Altogether charm and a really broad range of genres and atmospheres, so if one song isn't working for you, some others are bound to suit you better! Plus, Brian does feature on one track which is an absolute banger
In the one with the fairy wings he looks genuinely so stunningly gorgeous it makes my head spin. The hair, the beard, the wings, the dress, the shy effortless grace, dear fucking lord.
First of all, Brian is rocking each outfit more than I ever could, and I have a lot of respect for that Secondly, this song is genuinely so nice to listen to. How does he keep doing this…
Ok but unironically this is incredible. The lyrics, the singing, the editing, the visual effects, not to mention Brian's character outfits lol. Seriously, sometimes it amazes me how much talent he has behind his silliness. This is gonna be stuck in my head forever now
"You wanna go back to a previous save but you're just too proud" It's times like this I wish I could double or triple like something. You're my absolute favorite UA-camr!
I may not have told my wife about the game, but I told her about this song, and now we're both very sad for this couple while admiring BDG's stellar aesthetic outfits. Her favourite is the angel one.
The blending of game and competitive lingo into representing a relationship are not only ingenuious, with an incredible flow but also incredibly heartwrenching. Still being in queue when the match has been made is a fantastic allegory I'm stunned I haven't seen before.
Going through a breakup rn 💔 damn Brian. I was sitting in the garage scrolling because talking to her feels too difficult and pointless.You're hitting home with this one. I'd better go finish this up.
Wow, that ending. It's so poignant and devastating. The song starts as something humorous but the ending hurts. Well done, incredible work on all levels.
In a weird way it reminds me of The Last Five Years. The shift from comedy into the genuine heartache of a crumbling relationship all in the course of one musical performance, wonderful stuff.
(though even now as I just finish typing this I recall that the first song in the Last Five Years is pretty up front with the genuine heartache and the comedy comes after, so maybe not such a perfect analogue).
The line "when you said 'i do' you didn't do it with enough follow through." I think of how genius and perfect that is nearly daily, it scratches a musical satisfaction in my brain while being such a purposeful statement
This is so good and deeply heartbreaking. Using video games and game ads as the metaphor for the couple’s relationship and how instead of erasing that build and starting over with divorce the husband would rather just have another fun and exciting game he keeps as a secret affair. So well written and the outfits and vocals were perf~
I think here starting over may've meant looking at and admitting mistakes, using help (the lyric about looking up a guide) and putting effort into your relationship and fixing it ("going to a previous save" of the same game run and various lyrics pointing out the protagonist not trying, talking, sharing information or doing things together as current, continuing errors, especially the "it's been 2 years so you don't do it now either" line)
j dont think starting over meant getting a divorce, i think i meant starting over together and working to reinvigorate their relationship and build a better marriage
I was misreading into this title as “oh don’t tell your wife about this game, she won’t want to put it down!” and while that still makes me chuckle, it means I was NOT prepared for such a great song concept based off of both clickbait mobile ads and failing to build a more stable and intimate relationship with a spouse. BDG, you’ve done it again. 😎
My all-time favourite description of Brian was a UA-cam comment I saw years ago that said “I can’t decide whether I wish he was my husband, my father, or my son.” and now thanks to this video we gotta add wife to the list as well!
I misread that as "formative" and you know what? You are right. I don't know in what way, but this is a formative experience. And I don't just say that because BDG looks illegally good in those outfits. Somehow.
Wow! The vocals are off the charts! And the costume design? All the different double meanings? This is such a great video, thank you for another one BDG!
Right?? His switch to falsetto is as smooth as a power up animation, except better than that because honestly, it was truly exceptional vocal technique
I appreciate those “feminine” poses from people of any gender and any body type ✨ Brian nailed it! And I love off-the-shoulder garments,but they feel risky for me to wear.
Show! Those! Shoulder!! (if you wanna/feel you can do so safely) But seriously, if you want to, do it! Maybe just around the house at first until you feel more confident! Don't let society hold you back! I believe in you _and_ your shoulders!
@@mackenziedesire7515 Thank you ♥️ I should finally get one. I have a few makeshift crop-tanks for the summer, but I only wear them at home, or Pride events.
I just noticed that you've got over a million subs now. Congrats! And you look great in all your costumes, and your singing is lovely. I also wanna say that, as an ex-wife, this video and song are funny and cathartic for me while being depressing underneath. I needed something like this today. So thank you. 💕
something something about how both the man viewing the ad AND the sexy ladies in the ad are played by brian, indicating that the man is seeing reflections of himself in these ads, something something
You make an adorable fairy. Also, as an alleged adult whose been the wife this song is about fairly recently, this song actually made me cry. Well done. Guys, if you're over 35 and your previously strong relationship feels distant and things just aren't making you happy any longer... go talk to your doctor & get your testosterone levels checked and get evaluated for Depression. Your T levels start declining gradually & naturally from 30 on and that "mid life crisis" we joke about is often actually a side effect of you feeling the effects of that decline after 7 to 10 years of it. Taking suppliments and getting therapy/medication will stop you from making what is probably a horrible mistake that you will regret for the rest of your life when you take your medical symptoms out on the people who trust & love you the most.
BDG's consistent track record of sucking you into a song by its silly premise only to hit you with a deeper story about the fragility of one's mind is something to applaud and celebrate.
Yes, clap through the tears
I still think about that song about hats... in fact I'm gonna go listen to that one now...

Been searching for 5 minutes for a single comment praising the astonishing SONGWRITING. Not just from a lyrical perspective, but purely a musical and harmonic one. That's grade A musical harmonic arrangement and the melody just fit's on top of the lyrical meaning like a cherry. Brian and Jonah Scott are profoundly gifted musicians.
Right?! I’m so here for the progressions in the pre-chorus and the bridge!
Oh it's standard for BDG, between One Day, the Hurdy Gurdy song, the Hat Song, it's why people keep coming back to this channel cos he can so perfectly blend composition and comedy ❤
I really enjoy how Karen shot this one. I think it would have been easy to have all of the ads fill the screen and look pristine but something about the irl feel either gives the perspective of the wife's partner watching these ads, or (perhaps) more tragically the wife seeing her partner view these ads over their shoulder evident by the intro/outro shot of panning over Brian's shoulder
BDG is an old-school youtuber. No format. No schedule. No focus on a single subject matter. Just pure personality. A throwback to when you would subscribe to someone and you'd get a vlog, a skit, or a song parody depending on what they felt like.
Maybe those kinds of youtubers are still around but I haven't seen them in a while.
We still here 😊
Jan Misali? Kind of
Because UA-cam prefers quantity over quality 🙃
It’s hard to be as pure as Brian David Gilbert…
there IS a single subject matter. it’s BDG. we’re all here for more BDG.

This is newly-engaged Brian describing who he never wants to be in his marriage and I love it
Wait, they got engaged?? Damn, congrats brian and karen
@@chaosbean6320yeah, this past December!
I thought they'd been married for years now
Awww 🥰 it’s true that they’re very sweet together. They do act like happy married people
I thought they were just roommates when I first discovered their vids in 2016, but good for them, good for them
From the ‘wife’ (partner of 6 years) ‘s perspective, it broke my heart anyway, and the secrets only made it worse. If you’re struggling with something, cheating, addiction, disinterest etc, please just tell them, I promise it will hurt them less than finding out. Don’t prioritise your guilt over respect for your partner. Oh and great song Brian x
That was, I believe, the message of the song.
I’m sorry ❤️ hang in there.
Yeah not gonna lie, this one kinda triggered me. 😅 I get a little twinge of satisfaction knowing my ex will definitely see this song.
> If you’re struggling with something, cheating, addiction, disinterest etc, please just tell them
What about bad mobile games
I'm totally gonna tell my wife about this game when I find her and marry her
unironically one of the best vocal performances brian has given
It's also one of the more robust tracks he's released in terms of instrumentation and arrangement, in contrast to some of his sparser older work. The fact that he can carry the melody with what sounds like a single-track vocal and zero or close to zero pitch correction is extremely impressive. It just speaks to the power of an earnest tone and clever lyrics.
"too proud to restart" was SO good
The singing is never the joke except for the fact that someone so wildly talented as a vocalist would apply it to such silly subject matter. We need this.
pfff, it's like you've never heard him sing "simple and clean"!
2:30 to 3:00 in particular is phenomenal
I bet this came about from Brian trying on Karen's clothes and discovering _they all fit_
from my own personal experience, few things will annoy a woman quite as much as a man they know trying on their clothes and discovering they fit

yes
can’t believe that brian, david, AND gilbert agreed to participate
BDG’s voice is as sweet as honey 💛
From the making of video on Patreon it was noted he sung it slower originally, but when he contracted a Jonah Scott for a better backing track Jonah sped it up a bit. That means it's actually higher pitched than normal, but I think that really added to it.

- Volume in hair
- Pretty outfits aplenty
- Clean singing voice

@@xqsk4506 its always a three-way gamble whether Mr Gilbert uploads something silly and fun, deeply emotional, or existentially terrifying and sometimes its just all of the above
Oh yeah, big gender envy
hes reached the weird point between twink and lumberjack
This was absolutely an excuse for Brian to buy a whole new wardrobe and claim it as a tax write off.
Edit: Holy cow I can't spell/how did this get 12k?
I'm convinced this happens a lot! It might even be the first step to his creative process.
Tax-deductible Selkie dresses is such a power move tbh
According to the making-of video on patreon, they're all Karen's dresses and most of them don't fit and are open in the back.
bold of you to assume he didn't already have it
Oddly enough I bet Karen came up with the idea.

Not enough people are talking about the EDITING. Either he pre-recorded all those videos and installed them onto separate screens to shoot, or he found filters that make it look like a camera shooting a screen. Either way, incredible, so much effort.
My guess is they screen captured actual websites, cut out some or all the real content, and then masked in the videos of Brian and filmed it again literally playing on their computer screen.
@@allymoy This
I have watched this video so many times because i just cannot figure out how he did it. The ads (as far as i can tell) perfectly match the effects that happen when a camera records a screen with the focus and moire effect, and the tracking is perfect. I assume he somehow replaced the ad with the video by messing with the website, but I have no idea. This whole video is incredible.
@@Dr.Coconut1245 They just made a screenshot of the website, and incorporated the screenshoted image into the video. Then they played the video on the computer screen. Basically what Ally Moy said.
Dang i didn't even think about that. I'd assume he had to just prerecord the footage bc it seems way more realistic than a filter
As a relationship anxious person this counts as another horror video from you so thanks, I loved it

@@basilbaker737 do you bake basil?
I have once again been reminded that Brian, Jonah, and Karen are an absolute powerhouse of a team!
Slowly is still such a zen song for me
Don't forget about David and Gilbert
I think it’s a testament to his acting skills to be able to convey four completely different characters in the ads and have them come off as different people. The innocent farm girl, the delicate and pure Angel, the seductive beach woman, and the heartbroken, sad main woman in the grotto. All of them were distinctive just based off of his mannerisms and facial expressions, even his eyelid posture. Incredible.
He did it in "just one day" too
@@gunpowder7777 my man on his x games shit
"Eyelid posture" - I'm fucking dead. Glorious.
Tell me how until I read this I thought the ‘farmgirl’ was a cave woman
And each one has a musical motif, like the angel always returning to a root note or the beach lady doing pop vocal runs and the farm lady in the lyrics always does the most critical statements
OKAY the narrative structure here is INCREDIBLE...!! this song is a full on rollercoaster, transforming from a funny gimmick into a beautiful fantasy, into psychoanalysis for the strained relationship of a gamer seamlessly... and it all culminates beautifully into a calm climax, where two punchlines are presented one after the other over beautiful piano chords..... this is a masterpiece 💖
Oh, I got the "the game is just connect three" punchline, what's the second one?
@@elinquisidorperseverante6835 I think it's that he already downloaded the game before. The cloud icon means that it'll be redownloaded from the cloud, not downloaded from the app store for the first time. So he's played it before and deleted it and is crawling back to it lol
@@elinquisidorperseverante6835 the first punchline IMO is the new after chorus lyric ''cause it will just break her heart..'' which reveals that 'The Game' has already become the issues of the strained relationship. It's not really a joke, but it actually is because it hammers in how much the narrative and gimmick has been altered to represent something much more deep and emotional than anyone would expect at the start.
also it is LESS THAN 10 SECONDS from the second punchline (the one you noted) which is PURELY VISUAL!!!!!!!! LIKE DAMN BRIAN U MAD GENIUS
@@3cowboysinatrenchcoat LOL I didnt even noticed that, but if it's true it makes it so much more sad 😭
I thought the 2nd punchline was that based on the way the person downloading the game is dressed, it seems to be just some kid, insinuating that the only people that would click on these game ads are horny kids, making the whole dramatic narrative about a marriage relationship completely null
It is low-key infuriating how BDG looks great with short hair, long hair, clean shaven and can even grow a kick-ass full beard.
Never forget the 'stash
Man's a master of grooming with awesome genetics
But not hats apparently
And apparently in a dress
but not a hat
"And though the match has been made, the text that's displayed says you're still in the queue" my jaw dropped, BDG is Brilliant, Dazzling, Golden.
Okay but can we just point out that Brian is killing it in those dresses. Like he is pulling every single one off.
Fr tho
It's very impressive. Makes me think they were tailored for him, which would of course be on brand as well.
@@ShiftySetaxHugh Brandity would be proud
Even with a goatee, BDG continues to pass better than I do.
@@erincondron8105 To be fair, that says more about him than you.
2:52 I get goosebumps every time I hear the climax. The rising melody, descending chord progression, the main flaw in why the player can't come to terms with 'restarting' his relationship with his wife, all paying off from the buildup.
I love how instead of landing on a chord that is "satisfying", it ends with one that intentionally leaves the listener feeling like there was missed potential. I do not need to explain the symbolism.
@@corb805 Yeah, that dissonance was unexpected but works really nicely
that moment is absolutely phonominal musically, lyrically, and honestly videographically too, love you calling it out
Ffs this part is just too good
I need a way to tattoo that melody on my skin.
To make a campy song based on the weird ads you get on some pages is definitely the next level kind of thing I expect from BDG
And it gets into seriously unpacking the messy psychological state of the kind of person this throwaway line is implying would be responsive to marketing like that.
It's honestly so well done
These ads are found in "chumboxes": the clusters of low quality clickbait links that show in a grid. There is a wikipedia page and everything. Google chumboxes, shudder, and thank god for ad blockers.
Then visiting the app store page and it's Bejeweled
The beard is splendid, the fit is immaculate, and the music is heavenly. 10/10 I'm gonna tell my wife all about it!
Oh no don’t!!! 😟
How dare you jettison his gift?!
Oh no Freya can’t hear us they have their AirPods in!!!
he explicitly asked you not to.
i love when comedians who are usually known for having the most insane twists on a subject decide to play it as straight as possible, to great effect. like based on BDG's usual content it's so easy to expect this to devolve into a horror segment but no, he plays it completely straight and turns it into a song about the devastating heartbreak of a failing marriage.
it kind of reminds me of Diane Morgan's Philomena Cunk skits where she usually has these insane nonsense responses to the subject matter that the experts discuss, but in that one segment where she talks to an expert who reveals that atomic bombs are actually in use, she starts crying and it's the most normal, sane response you should expect from someone, but because it's from Philomena it's played to really great effect
A dying relationship is kind of one of the most scary things to be fair
I was fully expecting a horror video, not a depressing yet well-made song. I think this is his long-game, when he hasn't produced a horror video in so long that we open his newest video, smiling already, full of glee to see what beautiful singer normal man BDG has served up for us today, and it gives us nightmares for weeks.
I mean, Welcome to the neighborhood was a horror vid, right?
It's relationship horror because he's singing about a dying marriage

I love this part the most, and one of my favorite additions is how "The Truth" is handled here. It just plainly says "The Truth" on two personal statements before switching to gaming analogies that are used to hide said truth. It progressively gets more personal and deep into the issue while simultaneously getting more vague and detached.
It also just bangs severely, overall a fantastic piece of music.
The real horror: the slow bitter decline of a relationship that was once great
when you actual listen to the lyrics 😢
Brutal song.
I can't even say I'm shocked that a song about 18+ spam ads is amazingly well-written
it's just the definitive bdg experience
I'm not even having relationship issues, but this song has me grieving the love I haven't lost yet in the most enjoyable way possible.
i don't even have a relationship and it still made me feel this way
Should I really have a relationship? Should I really play this game?
I didn't know before, and now I don't know anymore...
RIGHT??
Wow. He has complex feelings about matrimony and can wear hats now. That's character development
no one has ever captured the musical vibes of 90s love ballads like Jonah and Brian. Such a powerful team.
Jonah?
@@vlogily8043 Jonah Scott co-writes/produces a lot of the music on Brian's channel - he's in a band with Brian called The Altogether!
What song is this sort of based on? It's driving me nuts, because the tone and rhythm of the words sounds so familiar.
@@5Detective ngl it has less of a 90s love ballad and has a more Paul Simon-y vibe. the rhythm makes me think of "your smiling face"
Jonah is a production wizard, he's mastered so many genres at this point I don't think there's any song he couldn't buff up to a splendid sheen
I always assumed it was Brian doing the producing. Is Jonah the other guy in The Altogether?
@@Speghettica He is! Jonah Scott is the main producer for The Altogether, all of Let's Make a Music (where he also cohosts the original season with Brian and Laura, later replaced by Karen), and loads of Brian's solo stuff. You can hear him sing on a lot of Altogether tracks as well, especially now that Brian's left the band. Their new album is about 50/50 sung by Jonah and his sister
@@swiftlymurmurs Thanks a lot! I’ve yet to check out the new album without Brian. Is it good?
@@Speghettica It might take a bit of getting used to, but it's really well made, it has a lot of that same Altogether charm and a really broad range of genres and atmospheres, so if one song isn't working for you, some others are bound to suit you better! Plus, Brian does feature on one track which is an absolute banger
@@swiftlymurmurs Awesome! I’ll listen to it right now. Remind me to get back with you
The lyrics and internal rhymes are so calculated and satisfying... it almost makes me want to actually play the game and not tell my wife
"Better have treated your better half better" is just incredible.
Maybe the real game was the rhymes we made along the way.
It makes you want to actually play the game and not tell your wife, but it makes me want to earn 20k EVERY MONTH by being my own boss!

can we talk about how brian is absolutely KILLING IT in all these outfits ????
Breaking news: theatre kid is absolutely slaying after plundering the thrift store dress section
In the one with the fairy wings he looks genuinely so stunningly gorgeous it makes my head spin. The hair, the beard, the wings, the dress, the shy effortless grace, dear fucking lord.

he's doing something indescribable to me
@@stefschouwenaars9562 😂😂😂
First of all, Brian is rocking each outfit more than I ever could, and I have a lot of respect for that
Secondly, this song is genuinely so nice to listen to. How does he keep doing this…
I'm equally blown away by both the compositing work on the phone and computer screens and by Brian rocking those costumes.
Ok but unironically this is incredible. The lyrics, the singing, the editing, the visual effects, not to mention Brian's character outfits lol. Seriously, sometimes it amazes me how much talent he has behind his silliness. This is gonna be stuck in my head forever now
"You wanna go back to a previous save but you're just too proud"

amazing message bro
Nice

Good 👍
Ah, yes, I am watching this for the plot and wonderful composition. Certain not because it's three minutes of a crossdressing Brian singing to me.
definitely 🫡
Just like how "the husband " definitely only plays the game for the match 3 gameplay and nothing else
Most definitely, and its not lyk you've been planning to play susy games, u just happened to come across this video.
I've never been in the mood for femboy BDG, but uh.... things changed in this parasocial relationship
"You better have treated your better half better" is fucking BARS
I may not have told my wife about the game, but I told her about this song, and now we're both very sad for this couple while admiring BDG's stellar aesthetic outfits. Her favourite is the angel one.
The blending of game and competitive lingo into representing a relationship are not only ingenuious, with an incredible flow but also incredibly heartwrenching.
Still being in queue when the match has been made is a fantastic allegory I'm stunned I haven't seen before.
It'll remind you of all the games you and your wife used to play,
But that was two years ago, so why start today...
Damn that line went HARD
Mr. BDG, this was my #1 on Spotify Wrapped for 2023. I think I'm ready to tell my wife about this game. Thank you.
Going through a breakup rn 💔 damn Brian. I was sitting in the garage scrolling because talking to her feels too difficult and pointless.You're hitting home with this one. I'd better go finish this up.
Hope you made it through this my dude
Best wishes. Change is the hardest thing you can put yourself through, but I hope you are finding your way. Onwards and upwards
Each outfit reveal felt like a whiplash, the pigtails killed me. Amazing as always.
Wow, that ending. It's so poignant and devastating. The song starts as something humorous but the ending hurts. Well done, incredible work on all levels.
> starts off humorous but the ending hurts
*like a failing relationship*
In a weird way it reminds me of The Last Five Years. The shift from comedy into the genuine heartache of a crumbling relationship all in the course of one musical performance, wonderful stuff.
(though even now as I just finish typing this I recall that the first song in the Last Five Years is pretty up front with the genuine heartache and the comedy comes after, so maybe not such a perfect analogue).
The line "when you said 'i do' you didn't do it with enough follow through."
I think of how genius and perfect that is nearly daily, it scratches a musical satisfaction in my brain while being such a purposeful statement
This is so good and deeply heartbreaking. Using video games and game ads as the metaphor for the couple’s relationship and how instead of erasing that build and starting over with divorce the husband would rather just have another fun and exciting game he keeps as a secret affair. So well written and the outfits and vocals were perf~
I think here starting over may've meant looking at and admitting mistakes, using help (the lyric about looking up a guide) and putting effort into your relationship and fixing it ("going to a previous save" of the same game run and various lyrics pointing out the protagonist not trying, talking, sharing information or doing things together as current, continuing errors, especially the "it's been 2 years so you don't do it now either" line)
j dont think starting over meant getting a divorce, i think i meant starting over together and working to reinvigorate their relationship and build a better marriage
Sure, this song is amazing as per usual but the REAL spectacle here is Brain’s hair. Damn, he looks good.
Obiwanesque
Absolutely! That messy braid was stunning 😍
I was misreading into this title as “oh don’t tell your wife about this game, she won’t want to put it down!” and while that still makes me chuckle, it means I was NOT prepared for such a great song concept based off of both clickbait mobile ads and failing to build a more stable and intimate relationship with a spouse. BDG, you’ve done it again. 😎
I'm not even married or seeing someone but this made me reflect on a relationship that doesn't even exist.
Relatable, have a nice day.
Its insane how good BDG can make songs about the most trivial experiences from day to day, turning it a deep analysis of a couples relationship
You can't tell me BDG isn't the wife we all need
My all-time favourite description of Brian was a UA-cam comment I saw years ago that said “I can’t decide whether I wish he was my husband, my father, or my son.” and now thanks to this video we gotta add wife to the list as well!
As with every BDG video, he brings something I didn't know I needed to my table and gently persuades me to eat it.
"you better have treated your better half better, but you're too sad" WHY IS IT SO CATCHY
Filming this was either a very funny, or very informative experience.
I misread that as "formative" and you know what? You are right. I don't know in what way, but this is a formative experience. And I don't just say that because BDG looks illegally good in those outfits. Somehow.

You make an adorable fairy. Also, as an alleged adult whose been the wife this song is about fairly recently, this song actually made me cry. Well done.
Guys, if you're over 35 and your previously strong relationship feels distant and things just aren't making you happy any longer... go talk to your doctor & get your testosterone levels checked and get evaluated for Depression. Your T levels start declining gradually & naturally from 30 on and that "mid life crisis" we joke about is often actually a side effect of you feeling the effects of that decline after 7 to 10 years of it. Taking suppliments and getting therapy/medication will stop you from making what is probably a horrible mistake that you will regret for the rest of your life when you take your medical symptoms out on the people who trust & love you the most.
Thank you for sharing! /gen
Crying here too. And thank you!
