Lyrics:
I've been tryna call
I've been on my own for long enough
Maybe you can show me how to love, maybe
I'm going through withdrawals
You don't even have to do too much
You can turn me on with just a touch, baby
I look around and Sin City's cold and empty
No one's around to judge me
I can't see clearly when you're gone
I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights
No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch
I said, ooh, I'm drowning in the night
Oh, when I'm like this, you're the one I trust
Hey, hey, hey
I'm running out of time
'Cause I can see the sun light up the sky
So I hit the road in overdrive, baby
Oh, the city's cold and empty
No one's around to judge me
I can't see clearly when you're gone
I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights
No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch
I said, ooh, I'm drowning in the night
Oh, when I'm like this
You're the one I trust
I'm just walking by to let you know
I can never say it on the phone
Will never let you go this time
I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights
No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights
No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch
Thanks so much for all the love on this one! If you have any questions, or just want to say hi, then come hang out in my discord: discord.gg/CGeuJff89P
I got so many questions haha
Hi :)
It's very cool! Tell me, please, what kind of samples are used for drums?

@@howhoungdjvenness5223 Thank you very much for your answer. I am very grateful to you, but it seems that these sounds are very different from those that sound in the original.
This is very close to the original beat my man good job
Thank you!
@@WesWinder thank you sir
@@WesWinder sir where from these instrument you take
You're joking-
Are you kidding this is the original
0:45
That bass-y synth had me so fucking excited. I love the absolute shit out of that
Continue the legacy... but get your camera angles straight! 🤣
Yoooooo. Not gonna lie. Saw a few of your videos and it inspired me to toss one up myself! Hard to live up to your quality and aesthetic, but I’ll try getting things lined up better whenever I get around to making a new one 😂😂 cheers bro!
@@WesWinder Your sound selection was on point! Not much time to do any more remakes on my end but I love how yours sound!
@@lilsoysauce I came here from your video lol
@@WesWinder i also noticed the camera angle xd, but anyways amazing remake :D
this better get some more views
Share it if you can! Then you can help it get more views ;)
ahhh, blinding lights is and will be one of the greatest synth lines ever!
Its my favorite part, the bass sounds like a storm
It’s Take On Me by A Ha
Dislikes are those who accidentally clicked on dislike instead of like because the were blinded by the light
Kishan Bhandari 😂😂😂
Underrated
Probably
@The Seeker lmao i did not notice there was a disco ball too
NOT REALLY ADD 1 MORE ITS ME ITS THE 1 BLINDED BY THE LIGHTS ;)
That Bass at 0:45 just loved it
Are you kidding? This was truly amazing!
Thanks haha. I appreciate it!
the best cover on youtube hands down, no other videos have instruments that sound nearly as close to the original as yours
Thanks dude. I appreciate it!
Wait bro can i use this i love it❤️❤️
Yeeeeeah dude!
@@WesWinder thank you so so much will give you credit ❤️
Lemme know when it’s up with a DM or something and I’ll check it out!
@@WesWinder it’s uppp ❤️❤️my new video ❤️
This is wholesome
The amount of times I played this is unhealthy... Soooooo cooool
Yo idk if u know this but this guy called the weeknd stole your song
😂😂😂
Yeah, "The Weeknd". I mean he even misspelled the word Weekend
@@dyecyde it's a joke i think
@@dyecyde r/wooosh
@@JudeElBoukili that's really how it's spelled bro.
Seth Everman conditioned me to expect Take on me at the end of the song
Christ, this is awesome! I need a full version 😭 so good!!
Holy CRAP this is phenomenal!!! Bravo!!!
I love it I want one those so I can make my own music. Where can I get one and how much do they sell for?
Around 100$ usd + for starting
It’s called a midi controller, check on Amazon or something
Akai MPK Mini Mk2 is the version I have. The new mk3 looks pretty good though!
I just purchased an gen 3 mpk mini, $119 usd new on Guitar Center and very worth the price.
Like AHA song
No it's call an Akai MPK mini
Man, I loved so much this song I even got blinded by the lights.
I sometimes daydream about if I could go back in time and show stuff like this to musicians from past centuries. I like to think they'd be excited to see how cool music and technology will evolve to be!
Thank you sir for this masterpiece remake, bravo!
Yes indeed, this is a catchy WEEKEND tune... nice cover, thanks for sharing!
Ive heard a million covers of this song but imo the best ones are yours and Illfactor's, really good work
I've been thinking of buying this exact midi controller but this video clenches it. $120 for this is a steal.

My head: TaKe On mE 🤪
Lol 😂
You've earned a sub! Amazing job and it's great to see the music being assembled in real-time
Earned a sub, for what? For creating garbage? Then congrats - you just subscribed to garbage!
This is awesome man. Still can't stop being surprised how simple songs can become huge hits
People love simple things - why are mindless talk-shows on TV so popular? People LOVE things that are easy for the mind to digest. The problem is coming up with something simple can be HARD!
@@demetrea5086 Well said
superbily nice and smooth
I can't stop watching this.
High quality for a wonderful result.
Best wishes from an italian collegue
I really subscribe because THIS IS AWESOME YOUR USING 1 INSTRUMENT ONLY FOR A WHOLE SONG🤯
Absolutely amazing. Better infact.
This is awesome!! congrats!
Respect from egypt💖
No one is allowed to dislike this anymore owing to its quality and the number of dislikes!
Nice
Bro they were blinded by lights not their fault
I could watch your videos all day long - they are quite impressive and awesome in the background while I work - well done!

Superb, love from 🇮🇳

@@WesWinder no problemo
this is so damn close to the original track man keep it up
Thank you :)
Far from it. Listen more closely
Thank you for making this ! Love it
This is awesome man
Bruh, stupid question but i’m new to ableton: how did u change the synth to the bass progression at 0:44 without changing settings on the Akai?
Bram Slootmans Not a stupid question at all! It’s subtle, but if you look reeeally closely, you’ll notice I’m twisting one of the knobs in the top right. I have that knob mapped to an instrument rack in ableton that has one empty device chain for each instrument track in my project file. The Akai MIDI is being sent to this rack, and the knob determines which chain the MIDI is sent to, then I map the MIDI from each unique chain to a unique track (ex: chain 1 = bass, chain 2 = pads, chain 3 = lead, etc). So in this example the bass track has its “MIDI From” section set to the track which has the rack with all the chains. And then in the second drop down under “MIDI From” I select the chain I want to pull the MIDI from, so each instrument track pulls MIDI from a different rack chain. I know this probably sounds insane, it’s very hard to explain over text...but you or anyone reading this can feel free to add me on Instagram @weswinder and shoot me a DM. I can probably send you some pics or a video explaining it quickly!
Wes Winder Thanks for the explanation mate!
@@WesWinder gggjgo
@@cristiantorres6149 im sorry w h a t
@@gestoraintegralmatriculada4081 he said good game great job go on
THIS IS LIT HOW AM I JUST SEEING THIS
This is soo dope , congrats dude
Dude... Loved it. Thanks for sharing
Impressive ❤️....and who are still listening after 1 year are truly awsm ✌🏻 ✨
He is still reading comments of an old video and like them. He is amazing!
😄😄😄
@1:11 that part is where other cover artists like to leave out but to me that's one of the best part of the song.
Absolutely cool! Great
Very nice
You should do a tutorial to explain step by step how to make this cover, I'm sure many would be interested and me the first as a beginner.
And nice video, continue like this :-)
I may put together a second channel for tutorials and whatnot. Will keep you in the loop!
@@WesWinder It would be great, I watch some tutorials on youtube but I get lost quickly, I would like to find something more complete with a concrete example like ur cover for example
Süper olmuş, bunu işi bayadır arıyordum
Professional remake, congratulations
Nice, thanks Indeimaus!
Thanks for tipping me off! Was wondering where these views were coming from haha.
Ha, yeah, I sometimes try to leave comments like that since I know theres not always a direct link between content creators.
TheXell appreciate it. Now I was able to leave a comment thanking him and he responded, so that’s cool 😊
first it sounds like the intro into ,,take on me'' haha
haha that's true
fun fact: the drum line is taken from a-ha's - Take on me
This is awesome
the most accurate remake, great job!
I'm so jealous of the people who don't have to worry about latency... I bought so much music equipment and now I can't get rid of extreme latency life really sucks
It’s May 2021, Covid-19 vaccine was out 6 months ago, everything is looking normal again, you get home after school or work, after a shower you lay down and open UA-cam, you realize that Rockstar it’s trending, you open their latest video and this beat starts playing introducing the logo of GTA VI and the words “Welcome to Vice City”, as the trailer goes on the beat fades out showing a blank screen with the words “Coming September 17” in it. Life is good.
Wishful, but unlikely.
GTA V's trailer released in Nov, 2011 -- but the game didn't release until September, 2013.
Red Dead Redemption II's trailer released October, 2016 -- but the game didn't release until October, 2018.
GTA VI has only been in primary development for two years since the release of Red Dead II, and it took five years to make Red Dead II following the release of GTA V. So suffice to say even if we did get a teaser trailer next year (likely), the game won't release for another few years at best.
hate to break it to you pal but no vaccine can save us from the worst recession in 2 centuries, yes that means much worse than the great depression
This give me chills, nice thought tho
Id fucking cry tears of happiness lmao. Amazing idea
The best cover of all!
Only one word... amazing
"i said uuuuuu"
Im blinding by the lights
I said UwwwU
Once i heard a angels voice, and it said: 1:08
fabulous!
Wonderful
Well at this point us teens that are living in this moment this is our 80s/2020’s
You need to do more The Weeknd stuff since it seems his music gives you more views
Amazing!!!
really awesome
That is the steepest like to dislike ratio I have seen in a long time lol
Imagine what Mozart would think if he knew that people in the future would like something this simple
great work!
Wow, this is so EPIC. You Are a good music creator man!
That Fat snare sound tho🔥🔥very groovy
at the beginning i thought i was bouta get rick rolled
😂😂😂
DAMN THAT WAS WONDERFUL!
Class man!
PLEASE UPLOAD MORE!!
Working on it 😅
Love your work! Quick question, what DAW did you use for this?
sounds amazing!
This is excellent, fantastic work!
Awesome cover !
How did you achieve that synth sound?
Came from a subscriber special from a gaming channel, he credited it in ur description lol. But overall, its a great cover
Agreed, i'm glad people with talent share their beautiful creations for everyone to enjoy
Great job 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Fantstic !
Right when it when it went to 1:08 I seriously thought that The Weeknd was gonna say I been on my own enough srsly
😂😂
I really want to see the mapping 😬 it's so good
See the mapping? For what - if you can count to 7 - you can play this trash
Finally, I had been looking for the 4K version
Awesome!
