I’m a 12 year old guy, but I have a single mother. She never from my concern went through this exact story, but I remember being verbally abused and kidnapped by my father. I seen her bring so many guys home, she’s currently trying to contain herself through another breakup. All she wants is a full, loving family after my brother passed away. I’ll always stay by her side. No matter what happened before, or what will happen later. To all the woman/girls out there, no matter if you went through things like this or not: I give huge respect to you woman. Thanks for giving so much just for us kids to be happy and taken care of. Much love.
Pointless Doggo We cry because we can relate to some part of the song.We cry because we want no one to go through that but we cant stop everything from happening. We cry simply because we understand
This song makes me cry... some people do this all the time.. But... please note to all the mothers.. things get better... no matter how hard it is.. this is reality... reality is hard... but we learn ro face reality and move forward...
There remix from the original song has a verse that holds the girls and women out doing this to account. Everyone has a choice and the hard, narrow road is a legitimate one.
What would I do? What I would do is give that girl a hug and assure her that there are people out there who truly care for her and someday, she'll get herself out of this mess.
am i the only one who has trouble comparing the covers? Like Cityhigh? An absolute bop. I love it. Bastille's version? Also rlly good. I love the more sober tone to it. If I see people dissing on either version I get defensive for the other band lol They're both rlly good and i love this song
@@galept without bringing race and social status into it, yes an extremely talented British band doing an incredible job at covering a crappy rap tune. Makes perfect sense.
I know both versions. Grew up on the first version. I appreciate them both. I have nostalgia & respect for the first. My dad is half irish half puertorican from the Bronx so I grew up listening to a lot of rap. I love this version. I had my doubts when my bestie suggested it but i felt there was a chance & I was right. Bastille covered this beautifully & I love it!! I find this version easier to play for other people considering it has a different sound (:
“What would you do if your son was at home, crying all alone on the bedroom floor ‘cause he’s hungry and the only way to feed him is to sleep with a man for a little bit of money”. For all the people struggling right now, it will get better and it will be alright, I promise.
This is just a more sad version of the original. It focuses on the sad emotions more. While the original is great I prefer this one due to the pure emotion
Boys and girls, wanna hear a true story? Saturday night was at this real wild party There was liquor overflowin' the cup About 5 or 6 strippers trying to work for a buck So I took one girl outside with me Her name was Londy, she went to Junior High with me I said "Why you up in there dancing for cash? I guess a whole lot's changed since I seen you last" She said "What would you do if your son was at home Crying all alone On the bedroom floor Cause he's hungry and the only way to feed him is to Sleep with a man for a little bit of money? And his daddy's gone in and out of lock down I ain't got a job now He's just smokin' rock now So for you this is just a good time But for me, this is what I call life" "Girl, you ain't the only one to have a baby That's no excuse to be living all crazy" So she stared me right square in the eye And said "Everyday I wake up, hoping to die" She said "They're gonna know about pain 'Cause me and my sister ran away So our daddy couldn't rape us Before I was a teenager I done been through more shit You can't even relate to" What would you do if your son was at home Crying all alone On the bedroom floor Cause he's hungry and the only way to feed him is to Sleep with a man for a little bit of money?

It's a film scene from "Requiem for a dream" (Requiem for a Dream scene with background / soundtrack). They do things like this in the most of their song on Other People's Heartache. My sister thinks it's creepy, too. :)
+BastilleSongLyrics Holy shit its really from "Requiem for a dream" Like I've seen that movie one time and in german and still I thought to myself "that could be from that movie. I think because of that stupid red dress..
Yea but the people experiencing what's going on the song are more likely to enjoy hip-hip so it feels more genuine. I do love the vocals in this though
This version absolutely wipes the floor with the original. Bastille are on a different league compared to any other band out there when it comes to covers and original tracks.
"so she stared me right square in the eye and said
'Every day I wake up hoping to die'"
That line hits me every time
here's something to cheer u up 🐈🐕
cats and dogs!!!!!
Have you heard the City High version?
I was just about to comment the exact same thing!! That line is so deep...
@@plushyfoxy208fox2 if u really want to feel it listen to the real song
This song, the way it is sung and covered by you guys, is HAIR RAISING in the best way.
Cassie Fossen who sings the original?
City High
I was genuinly just looking for this comment
This song is so underrated, it didn't get the credit it deserved
Kylie Powers it is a cover so that's probably why they didn't promote it as much
Liya A. who did song ?
Brett Martin City High (btw it's in the description)
Kylie Powers because city high did it first
@@Izzyek and better

You have an impressive sense of perspective for your age. Don't ever lose that! Single mothers are some of the most hardworking people on the planet.
I feel bad bro! If you need help. Tell me. Im 13 i will understand
This comment made me cry. it was beautiful
I’ve been through some of the same things and it’s so hard and if you ever need to talk I’m here, we’re the same age
I hope everything works out well for you and your moo
Have you ever just cried? Because of this song?
🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒

Thanks ur words are very true this is my son's account he is eleven he is my inspiration I'm 28 this song hits home for me xxx
Everytime I listen to this song I have to listen to it like 10 times after. I really love Bastilles' version.
Makes the original sound like it was sang by primary school kids
@@k-doggy1762 true haha i cant stand the original
The only reason I like it more is because the original has that stupid Next Episode break
Sad how so many girls and women are out there living like this, struggling just to make it through one more day

Exactly! People need to shut up and let others enjoy which ever version they're listening to.
i cant count on both hands how many times ive listened to this song on repeat on spotify and on youtube
gave me chills
I like that they added that line from Requiem for a Dream at the end.
i love the lyrics, this song is a very good life lesson
How does this song not have at least a million views?
This song has so much more meaning to it
This is awesome!
Thank you
Dang the lyrics just.... Wow. I heard the song then I read the lyrics and sang the song and now just....
It's not the real ok ne
@TruthAboutTheLie @NicoleB Original or cover, the song still hits you like a ton of bricks.
Bc a white person sung it?
This is a cover song I like this version over the original, but still enjoy both.
LilFishy91 agreed
A rich white British dude singing a cover of an American rap song with power chords in the background. Yeah that totally makes sense
@@galept without bringing race and social status into it, yes an extremely talented British band doing an incredible job at covering a crappy rap tune. Makes perfect sense.

He looks asian tho, so that makes him totally racism free.
This is just a song about that one dnd player who won’t shut up about their characters backstory
Nobody:
Not a soul:
Not even Nickleback:
Salty People: iTs ToO dIfFeReNt I hAtE iT
Okay but u got to remember it's not the same thing that's the point duhh
uh yea that's like the whole point
i never understand those people, like the point of a cover is to spin it and make it your own
I didn't understand this song when it first came out me and my siblings would just sing to it I recently listened to it and reat the lyrics damn
Same with me
“What would you do if your son was at home, crying all alone on the bedroom floor ‘cause he’s hungry and the only way to feed him is to sleep with a man for a little bit of money”. For all the people struggling right now, it will get better and it will be alright, I promise.
great cosplay song and it made me cry thank you dansmith!!
I love this video 🗣
Breaks my heart for the girl
This was epic Dan. Thanx for letting me add my song to the album.
This is my favorite song of all time
OMFG I LOVE THIS
Still listening to this in 2021 🖤💚🖤💚
This is just a more sad version of the original. It focuses on the sad emotions more. While the original is great I prefer this one due to the pure emotion
awesome song . thanks for sharing. 😊
This is only going to become a more prominent problem in good ol US now thanks to roe being overturned!
This's really awesome. I liked the rhythm. ;)
is it a true story? love the song.
It is for some unfortunately! :(
Damn I have chills
I think this is better than the original, the original sounds to upbeat
Has anyone herd the original version to this song?
Yes
it’s way better
Yes it's crap
I prefer the original
Imo this version is best
Boys and girls, wanna hear a true story?
Saturday night was at this real wild party
There was liquor overflowin' the cup
About 5 or 6 strippers trying to work for a buck
So I took one girl outside with me
Her name was Londy, she went to Junior High with me
I said "Why you up in there dancing for cash?
I guess a whole lot's changed since I seen you last"
She said
"What would you do if your son was at home
Crying all alone
On the bedroom floor
Cause he's hungry and the only way to feed him is to
Sleep with a man for a little bit of money?
And his daddy's gone in and out of lock down
I ain't got a job now
He's just smokin' rock now
So for you this is just a good time
But for me, this is what I call life"
"Girl, you ain't the only one to have a baby
That's no excuse to be living all crazy"
So she stared me right square in the eye
And said "Everyday I wake up, hoping to die"
She said "They're gonna know about pain
'Cause me and my sister ran away
So our daddy couldn't rape us
Before I was a teenager
I done been through more shit
You can't even relate to"
What would you do if your son was at home
Crying all alone
On the bedroom floor
Cause he's hungry and the only way to feed him is to
Sleep with a man for a little bit of money?
And his daddy's gone in and out of lock down
I ain't got a job now
He's just smokin' rock now
So for you this is just a good time
But for me this is what I call life
What would you do?
Get up off my feet and stop making tired excuses
What would you do?
Get up off my feet and stop making tired excuses
What would you do?
Get up off my feet and stop making tired excuses
What would you do?
Get up off my feet!
What would you do if your son was at home
Crying all alone
On the bedroom floor
Cause he's hungry and the only way to feed him is to
Sleep with a man for a little bit of money?
And his daddy's gone in and out of lock down
I ain't got a job now
He's just smokin' rock now
So for you this is just a good time
But for me this is what I call life
What would you do if your son was at home
Crying all alone
On the bedroom floor
Cause he's hungry and the only way to feed him is to
Sleep with a man for a little bit of money?
And his daddy's gone in and out of lock down
I ain't got a job now
He's just smokin' rock now
So for you this is just a good time
But for me this is what I call life
What would you do if your son was at home
Crying all alone
On the bedroom floor
Cause he's hungry?
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE listen to the original by City High
Also the ending lines are from the movie Requiem For a Dream. Watch it.
Any1 watching in 2018
Greetings from the world of tomorrow! I'm from the distant year of 2020!
awesome
What is the song they play after the Requiem for a Dream sound clip? It sounds like something from Twilight.
Pompeii may be advertised as the flagship of this album, but THIS song is their magnum opus.
The power to take it away
anyone who likes this must like jon bellion
Lilz Forever i love jon bellion
Lilz Forever Jon bellion is fanfrickentabulose
Yesssss
Blzne D Yeah
This appears on your pandora too, doesn’t it.
City high was from the early 2000 year
Every time I hear "stared" as "stabbed" and I laugh.
Why is it that you dont find the last part in all of the copies of this song?
the original song is from City High what would you do ...
Heather Miller this song is shit compared to city high.....kinda seems like they ruined it
This version is not that great.
kassie fillback totally agree!
@@kgn5more you couldn't tell great music if it slapped you on the face
love it
Does anyone know the song in the outro? Is it Bastille?
What is with the creepy shit at the end
It's a film scene from "Requiem for a dream" (Requiem for a Dream scene with background / soundtrack). They do things like this in the most of their song on Other People's Heartache. My sister thinks it's creepy, too. :)
Oh that's actually cool. Lol it scared me the first time :)
Maybe an easter egg
+BastilleSongLyrics Holy shit its really from "Requiem for a dream" Like I've seen that movie one time and in german and still I thought to myself "that could be from that movie. I think because of that stupid red dress..
JEALOUS'
Hey dan .......where was that live performance france????
The power to buy anyone's freedom
👍👍👍
What was that ending?
Shaylyn Ariana Elizabeth Crain it’s from the movie Requiem for a dream. Very good movie but it’s absolutely soul crushing
what would u do
I feel so bad for this girl
This version is way better than the original, it has a proper somber feel with the lyrics. The original is just... still too hip hoppy.
Agreed 100%
Yea but the people experiencing what's going on the song are more likely to enjoy hip-hip so it feels more genuine. I do love the vocals in this though
I spent majority of that year with avicci and Dan and Joe janiak
Miss you dan
I wrote majority of this album
@3:22

End of song sample movie: Requiem for a dream : red dress part
How did you get a hold of the font for the lyrics???
This is a cover please do your research
OG SONG CityHigh What would you do.
whats the name of the song at the end?
WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
Get up off my feet and stop making tired excuses
This version absolutely wipes the floor with the original. Bastille are on a different league compared to any other band out there when it comes to covers and original tracks.
It's a completely different genre, it's incomparable.
Remember you begged me for what you have now
Has anyone seen the movie "Life"
Not being mean being honest
Daecia Teal there gonna know about pain cause me and my sister ran away so our daddy couldn't rape us
♥️♥️♥️♥️
damn
weed mand same tho
I cowrote this with Dan
Oohh 😢
So fucking deep
Am I the only one listening to this in 2020
2021 here lol
Get up off my feet? Is this a polished version of "get up off your ass" ?
CITY HIGH DID IT FIRST, but Bastille did it pretty good too
The only reason this is better is because it doesn’t have that stupid Next Episode interlude.
Dans outfits 😂
nothing like the original and not as good but not a bad cover
Imagine my cruelty ........ no-one would survive
Bastille did good but it's not better then the original ❣
For a laugh
The requiem for a dream comments dont help
All you think of is your next victim
Man u bastille almost as good as macklemore check it out my throat hurts from all these downtown's angry old man krow just bc
weed in deed
A friend with weed is a friend indeed, but a friend with gold is the best im told- a Leprechaun

look I know this out of the blue but.......
Doesn't this song fit Cartman's Mum?
No just me..k
You should be worried about the lies you teach your children
Because I've never met anyone who could afford what was given to me that I never asked for
