This version has one of those last day of school feelings
One of those wondering how your future is gonna turn out feelings
One of those everything eventually falls into place feelings
Today’s my second to last days so I’ll play it Monday 😂
I graduate tomorrow, so!!
Fitting as school ended for last grade last week. (And also your right :) )
The fact that this is sung by a boy and has the same lyrics and its set in the 80’s adds an extra dimension of story telling that’s really cool.
Exactly what I was gonna comment. This cover is just so clever👌🏽
Agreed
Bi icon song!!!!
@@becks_r it's not fam
@@becks_r From where tf did you get that
Olivia Rodrigo needs to hear this. Hell, every one needs to hear this.
I agree ☝️
frrrrr
The 46 people who disliked this failed their driving test
now 69
True 😂
Yeah🤭
now 96
They don’t know what good music is because I just
This song is so good
I've heard this song was a pretty big hit back in the day
it was! people went crazy
The fact that he can take an already catchy tune and turn it into an even more catchy tune just like that is flat out scary.
This is on another level 👑
yea dude like seriously, this is a bop
Didn't think I'd see Winston here haha
imagine on another earth in the multiverse blanks wrote this song and released it instead of olivia... and then he did a feature with the weeknd oof
ADD THIS TO SPOTIFY PLEASEEEEE
Blanks needs to release an album with all his 80s hit covers.
Word.
Absolutely. Just do volumes 1..2...3 etc.
Blanks pretty please haha
I had such high hopes for the red lights bridge and MAN WAS I NOT DISAPPOINTED
The synths, the dancing, the wardrobe, the vocals, the white background, the camerawork, and not to mention the visuals! *chefs kiss* 🤌🏼🤌🏼
wish there was some sick guitar solo tho, like in his Post Malone style swap ;/
Especially the finger snaps!!
Absolutely love everything about this. Great job!
I thought your profile pic was the girl from the meme where the guy was looking at another girl
Jesus loves you all.
Nobody:
That one kid in the Back to the future movie starting to play on his electric guitar and singing his heart out:
marty mcfly could never
@@kasperdaylen marty mcfly is superior tho
hahahhaahahaha
@@kateabek indeed he is
Hey you! Get your damn hands off... oh no
I think you got the wrong car mcfly
I got my driver's license last week
Just like we always talked about
'Cause you were so excited for me
To finally drive up to your house
But today I drove through the suburbs
Crying 'cause you weren't around
And you're probably with that blonde girl
Who always made me doubt
She's so much older than me
She's everything I'm insecure about
Yeah, today I drove through the suburbs
'Cause how could I ever love someone else?
And I know we weren't perfect but I've never felt this way for no one
And I just can't imagine how you could be so okay now that I'm gone
Guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me
'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street
And all my friends are tired
Of hearing how much I miss you, but
I kinda feel sorry for them
'Cause they'll never know you the way that I do, yeah
Today I drove through the suburbs
And pictured I was driving home to you
And I know we weren't perfect
But I've never felt this way for no one, oh
And I just can't imagine how you could be so okay, now that I'm gone
I guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me
'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street
Red lights, stop signs
I still see your face in the white cars, front yards
Can't drive past the places we used to go to
'Cause I still fuckin' love you, babe (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Sidewalks we crossed
I still hear your voice in the traffic, we're laughing
Over all the noise
God, I'm so blue, know we're through
But I still fuckin' love you, babe (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
I know we weren't perfect but I've never felt this way for no one
And I just can't imagine how you could be so okay, now that I'm gone
'Cause you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me
'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street
Yeah, you said forever, now I drive alone past your street
Who else is In love with his style of music?
Me✌
From India ❤
I'm in love with "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" so yeah, obviously! 😁
who doesnt? lol
The only bad thing about this video is that it ends :(
0:00 there ya go!
Red lights, stop signs, 80s music king vibes
I immediately sang it in my head XD
I'm so shook right now omg I'm just listening to it...
the fact i am keeping this version over the original...olivia rodrigo has a stunning voice and she's so so talented, but i grew up with my mum's 80s music and it is just a whole other vibe 😍
😍😍
Never knew this song needed an 80s version but Blanks always proves otherwise
My God, if Olivia hears this, she'll think her song is a cover of yours
Lmaooo
As a guy who still has clear memories of being a teenager in the 1980s I am repeatedly captivated by how well someone who wasn't even BORN until decades later is able to so perfectly capture the sound of that era. While I love a lot of today's music too, it's still nice to see some good "new" 80s music being created too! ;-)
Listen to "boy pablo" if you are searching for that vibe in todays music ;)
@@aguilacoco7652 I checked them out and while they do sound like 80s music, there's a certain lifeless blandness to their music which isn't appealing. I remember there being bands back then which also had that same listlessness to them and I didn't like them then either. Still, thanks for the suggestion - I always like discovering new music.
SUCH A BOP
I just imagine his neighbors getting occasional free concerts. How lucky.
I know that would be so sick
0:21 "Crying cause you weren't around" bro that part tho
That VINE reference at 01:27
YES!!!! Y’all are my people!!!! I’m so glad y’all noticed that too 🤣
made me so happy haha
My childhood, it's... it's coming back
Olivia Rodrigo will eventually hear this cover, and when she does, SHE WILL REACT FOR YOU! The 80s vibe was too accurate in this video 😂 My boomer parents would dance to this version hardcore!
Anything in an 80s version is so unbelievably upifting to me, it feels like all my personal worries are gone and things actually will get better
my thoughts exactly
Exactly 💯
you can clearly tell simon loves what he does. he always goes an extra mile with all his videos and songs, even when he doesn’t have to. he puts so much love in his work, and i’m all here for it!
SIMON, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH I LOVE THESE 80s VERSIONS OF SONGS 🥺 LIVING FOR THIS
Another 80s version I will NEVER get bored of
Blanks absolutely never disappoints with his styleswaps, this one again: just amazing
I hate how people say this is better than the original
This is the original
Out of all the languages that exist in this world, u decided to speak facts. Props to u ma guy
Exactly
dude i was ready to throw hands at you 🤣
im so tired of repetitive comments like these lmfao
They had us in the first half
This version is so perfect that I'll recognize it as the original song
Same😄
Why is this lowkey better than the original? I luv it
You mean “highkey” 😏
no key it is
the bridge in this version hits so much harder, im more hooked to this than the original LOL
Because the original sounds so melancholy
CANT STOP REPEATING!! OBSESSED WITH THIS VERSION!! MAKES ME DANCE IN MY WHOLE ROOM!! ✨
Holy shit that guitar solo hit all the right spots 🥵🤌
Immensely 😍😍😍
petition to get this on Spotify.
Imaging releasing this on cassette
This banger will DESTROY that machine.
@@ratwhisperer28 most likely
Woahhhhh you just blew my mind with this idea 😍😍😍🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻.
@@muhammadmota6141 Yes rightt
It’s been a long time since I liked a cover more than the original. Guess that streak is over now.
GHHAAADDD!!! CAN WE HAVE IT ON SPOTIFY?!!!
the vibes are immaculate
let's be honest: we always knew driver's license needed an 80's guitar solo
That’s kinda gay
@@colgantyskwicz7239 i mean i am a little bit so that makes sense
@@casn1ne928 caught in 4K📸
LMAO SHHH
@@colgantyskwicz7239 i didn’t know guitar solo was a gay thing.
that drum run during the halftime bridge gave me chills
Never actually heard the original so this just sounds like his own song
Are you going to hear the original?
@@duvan-solis it’s alright, I like his version better
@@YeetwithSwag ok
Exactly
@@YeetwithSwag how do u know u like it better if you’ve never heard the original- 😭😭 LMAO
This deserves to be on Spotify, and this would be one of the few songs I would put on my "Before 2000's" playlist
Pov: this song is making everyones day who is watching this rn
I NEED THIS IN SPOTIFY 🤩😍😍💚💚💚
when someone asks you what your music taste is:
Momento mori
@@CarmelAndCrosby man every time that response pops up in my notifications i have a mini heart attack ngl
Best taste ever
This is the greatest thing anyone’s ever done to this song. Please put it on Spotify and Apple Music!
Just one word: spotify
I just love how he made it sound so more happy too
I need this in my Spotify playlist right now x
This makes u want to dance even though it’s supposed to be a sad song lol
We must protect this man at all costs !!
Thank you for doing the explicit version for the bridge. It brings such raw energy that you 100% DELIVER!
Love it!❤️ Do “good 4 u” 80s style next 🔥🔥🔥
Finally,already release on youtube!
I want this on Spotify so bad! This is phenomenal
This gives me sneaking out during summer and hanging out with friends at the park 😀
THIS. this is why you’re my inspiration.
This song gives me some Kings of Leon vibes and I love it!
Another styleswap we didn't know we needed that we're going to be obsessed with for a long time !
Feeling the nostalgic vibes
When is it gonna be available on Spotify
Lo necesito en spotify!!!!!!
I NEED THIS IN SPOTIFY NOW.
Still need it on spotify
I love how we still need 80s vibes, he made this by his big brain thats sick Bro!!! I hope Olivia add new singles that is called "Driver's license Remix Ft. Blanks Version" And I hope she hears his version.
Omg I love this vibe!! Like the last one summer with your friends from school before go to high school vibe
[insert epic guitar solo] has to be my favorite part of this whole cover I love it
I remember she performed it live back in 83'. What a legendary performance she had been.
This was the first time I ever hear the entire song 😂
Poor you
Same!
same here!
I like this version than the original
Fr
Chills. Literal chills.
He’s handsome, he sings really good, he has creativity, IM IN LOVE
Somebody remind me if this will ever be released on Spotify
This has very Back to the future vibes
This makes my days so much better, listen to it everyday , hope it comes to Spotify/Deezer Soon !!😻
After hearing this version, it’s basically Olivia Rodrigo who? It’s official… 80s style music needs to make a come back and take over!
Still listening in 2022:) i love this
THE 80's JACKET IS BACK!! loving the vibe btw, especially the half time
I love that he even did a square screen, the detail
I need this in spotify 😭🙏🏽
Blanks just demonstrated us how breaking up feels like in the 80s
so... when's this going on spotify haha
videos like this also show why blanks is one of my favourite artists
The way he looks too happy for singing a heartbreaking song 😂👏🏼
BUT THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE
I'M WAITING FOR THISSSS AFTER I SAW THE TEASER ON TIKTOK I WAS SO HOOKED AND HYPED!!!
Another metric:
This song has averaged 24000 views per day since it was released.
The original averaged 42000 views per day since it was released.
Blanks has 1.3 million subs; Olivia has 4.6 million. Despite her having 3.5 more subscribers, she only has 1.75x more views.
Ergo: this is the better version.
Math doesn't lie.
Thats because people are more focused on good 4 u than drivers licence, but yea it is better
Gah damn you rock hahaha
👏👏👏
this hits different 🥶
I am OBSESSED with this. This needs to be on streaming services
I didn't know I needed to listen to driver's linsese version 80s until i heard driver's linsese version 80s. 😍
.
.
.
Eu não sabia que precisava ouvir driver's lincese versão 80s até ouvir driver's lincese versão 80s.😍
Dudeeee, I'm in love with this version, I saw it on ig and now it's the version I listen to, this 80's vibe is amazing!❤️❤️
OK, this is gonna be stuck in my head for weeks
RELEASE ON SPOTIFY PLEASE AND THANKYOU😭😭
Is this gonna be on Spotify?
I hope so
It'd better be
found the full version finally! i lovvve this cover!!!
I remember, this was one of my favorite songs in my childhood.
i was just thinking about you remaking this 🥺 !! amazing i love it as always
i just know blanks is finally going to get a hugeee fan base here in america from this style swap
This gives me stranger things vibes. They should include this in the show
Right!! Like when their at the mall or something
simon should make all the 80s covers of songs for stranger things just like how bridgerton had the classical covers of modern songs
Well it's set in the 80's so it feels 80's. The sound is like any popular 80s pop hits and it should have a guitar solo.
Literally found it in a byler edit.
@@nahmanhellno cool
