    This summer, they would play this song at one of our local swimming pools when it was closing time. This song reminds me of summer lol. Great cover!

    That amazing moment when my daughter and her best-friend go to a concert and sing to every word of the Alex goot songs & covers, it makes me feel like I`ve done the right thing!!

    Alex, I can't thank you enough for wearing my bracelets in this video. You have no idea how happy I was. It made my week. Probably even my life. You're the sweetest and most down to earth guy I've ever met. I love that you care about your fans this much. Thank you

    I never heard that song before, and once I heard it I did not care for it, but that song means it's time to go home. Now, it's my favorite song.

    Nothing can be better than the original of any song... This cover was a great cover! i'm not going to lie, but the person who wrote the song will always preform the song the best.

    • @zanarkg2207
      @zanarkg2207 ปีที่แล้ว

      Eh... That's not always true, for instance rascal Flatts cover of life is a highway is miles better than the original.

    We played this in my schools performance of the play “she kills monsters” which is set in the 90’s and has a lot of older pop culture references. It was obviously the closing song and we did our bowes to it. Whenever I hear it I just remember the good times we had back in school

  • @anthonymorabito32

  • @whitewingedalbatross
    @whitewingedalbatross 13 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    You two are so amazing, and it warms my heart to see music and art and ideas being shared so freely, without worries over property or profit or greed. It's moments like this that make me grateful for the internet, and the freedom it allows us all. Our generation is going to change the world, for better and for always, and this is one small part of that movement. Bravo.

    I just sicked in my mouth a little bit.... way to take a really nice song and turn it into everything that sucks about music these days guys. If you had done this live, with feeling, it may have been a different story.

  • @shinigami219
    @shinigami219 12 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    When I used to work at this restaurant/bar we had a live stage for local bands and amateur nights. During the holidays people would often get pissed at the bar and linger there all night. Eventually the staff got fed up but could not out right do something about it so instead one night we set up the stage and at closing started singing this song in hopes people would get the message. We ended up having an encore and sing-a-long with the drunks for an extra two hours.

  • @JackPillkinTon
    @JackPillkinTon 11 ปีที่แล้ว +28

    look, i'm a Music Tech and music student, i record on a weekly basis and i can tell you right now that the vocals are edited beyond belief, it takes away the power and soul that live peformances and less edited songs project, not saying these two aren't talented but with the amount of editing that goes into goots videos it just, for me ruins the songs.

    This song takes me back to the first time over a year ago that I first hung out with my ex boyfriend for the first time and watched "Friends With Benefits"... it's funny how a song can take you back to a memory you'd tried so hard to escape and yet, you still know exactly who you want to take you home. Good stuff. Awesome cover.

  • @haraldhechler3557
    @haraldhechler3557 8 ปีที่แล้ว +19

    Another one of this professional "young plastic cover kids"- videos. Technically perfect but cheezy and softened 'til it hurts... Listen to the original - it's rough and powerful. This high-gloss-thingy here is (despite the pieces of fabric tape at the microphone) so aseptic and smoothed out that there is absolutely no soul left in this interpretation of that great song. Sorry, but they totally f***ed this song up.

  • @bijibadness
    @bijibadness 8 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    this is one of the very best songs from the 90's, but i've ALWAYS disliked the way that the Semisonic version goes for the *BIG, DISTORTED CHORUS GUITARS* that were SO eminently popular at the time (it was, after all, only several years since "Smells Like Teen Spirit"). this is the version of the song that, for me, does it the way it should have been.

    This might sound strange, but Alex looks like a combination of two friends of mine.. Both died tragically in the same week, different circumstances, one was hit on his bike by a car, the other was killed in a car accident, but it somehow makes me happy to hear his music, it reminds me of them in a way too bc he's covered some of their favorite songs.. Thank you, in a strange way I feel like your music has helped me keep their memory alive, especially the "save tonight" cover.
