I love both this version and the original. They hit me differently. The PREP's version makes me feel like I in my mid thirties or forties, sitting on the porch on a sunny day, reminiscing about all the hardship that I've been through with a smile, like it's a sad life but I've still made it somehow. The orginal by Harry Styles is totally different. The fastter rhythm makes me feel like I'm sweping away in life, so busy that I don't even have time to look back, one minute I was just 18, a moment later and I am already 30. Time flies too fast, and everything is slipping through my finger, which I'm regretting that I can't hold them back. Great song and great performance by both
Bruhh truee i searched it up to see which one is the original one lmao. I first listened to prep's randomly in yt music and it sounded simple that it makes harry's version the cover lol
The drums on the verses are similar to the beginning of "I keep forgetting " by Michael McDonald, and the keys are similar chords to that song as well, good ear.
in my opinion it's a modern montown vibe with a bass player that's a cross between James Jamerson and Bootsy Collins and a crazy groove band, but more on the groove side and not rock.
This song is gorgeous - makes me cry listening to it cos it sounds so nostalgic with that smooth soulful 70s vibe - takes me back to my carefree childhood days
So I heard this cover at work, I clean the local Metro grocery store in Milton Ontario Canada. Ever since the first time I heard this cover it’s been on repeat . This is soooo 🔥🔥🔥. I beg you PREP please make more tunes like this, you for sure have a new fan and subscriber! Thank you PREP

I love this version. It's so soulful and soothing... Feels like I'm in a long ride and forgetting all my problems and just enjoying the trip and the view... Thanks for this such a therapy!!! ❤
I heard this version on TikTok and I kept looking here in YT search engine, As it was remix-no As it was TikTok version-no As it was 80’s version-no As it was Jazz version- finally I found it. Ang gandaaaaaaaaaa❤❤❤❤
We shared the same journey to this great discovery! I finally went back to Facebook where I saw Kevin Bacon dancing to this with his daughter. Then added him on TikTok where they list the song & artist and VOILA! This is sooo much better than Harry's version. Chill 80's vibe to it. This will be blaring from my car! It's car cruising music!

Honestly, I heard this and completely forgot what the original Harry version sounded like... honestly this 76' style does this song wonders, wasn't 'PREPared' for this!🤩 very Lee Ritnour..
I think the original has turned into more of a pop classic and to hear a great song in a new way is definitely a wonderful feeling. It’s very close to hearing for the first time.
Thank you PREP for bringing back the 80s vibe in your rendition and in your original songs. Love the "Cheapest Flight" too and will def listen to the rest of your tracks.👍💖
I love this cover! It relaxes me so much! I could hear this 1,000 times and not get tired of it! This just so smooth and calming, I will definitely listen to this a lot!
I lovw this version of the song, its sounds groovy and fun. How ever i feel like thats whats missing, harry styles makes this song sound emotional and heart felt. Meanwhile this version sounds like a dance club song.
I'm happy to live in a world where both versions of this song exist.
This is now officially the original version.... So soulful ....so chill....
FACTS!
Okkkkkkkkkkkkkkaaaayyyy!!!!!!!!!! You ain't neva lied!! Lol..orrrr haaave you👀😅🙏
@@brandijackson4191 everything is the truth.... especially the lies...
@@pevaughn 🤣I know dass rite !😛
NO
This gives me huuuuuge The Bee Gees vibes. Buttery smooth bass line, groovy 70s drums, great voice. Fantastic job
No bro this song literally 80s japanese citypop / future funk
@@aufamz5121 it sounds like the drums a ripped straight out of a Michael McDonald song from the late 70s I think
It is groovy but definitely not Bee Gees vibes
I'm thinking 80's pop... The sax solo cemented it for me ...
It's also giving Andy Gibb vibes
I love both this version and the original. They hit me differently. The PREP's version makes me feel like I in my mid thirties or forties, sitting on the porch on a sunny day, reminiscing about all the hardship that I've been through with a smile, like it's a sad life but I've still made it somehow.

*⭖*
this!!
Awesome retro vibes! I hear a lot of Ambrosia, Player, Bobby Caldwell in this superb cover
I don’t care who did it best, but Prep definitely’s put the groove and sweat back into a song that was in dire need of it.
“Idc who did it best, but this side did it best.”
@@stevietv420 😂😂 That's basically what he said.
This makes Harry's version sound like a cover
True hahahaha
true 😂😂
Fax
bruhhh it's true af
Bruhh truee i searched it up to see which one is the original one lmao. I first listened to prep's randomly in yt music and it sounded simple that it makes harry's version the cover lol
PREP, you covered this like this is your own song. Wonderful!
I didn't realize this until reading your comment LOL
@@quynhdang7431 same go to me, I thought PREP released new song today too lol
Like a 1990's song like wow
Omg same 🤣
Yeees
One of the rare instances when the cover is light years better than the original. Reminds me of the CityPop genre. Awesome job, Prep!
Yeah, like Tatsuro Yamashita. I love CityPop! I’m starting to be a fan of Prep now. 😊
Jap 80's City Pop ❤❤❤
Absolutely. This version is so much more musical and engaging.
well now i have to check city pop
This makes it sound like the original isnt already fantastic lol
I can't believe this is a cover 😳 Brilliantly done 👏
Straight up Al Jareau ... and that Sax ... this is classic 80s smooth soul jazz fusion !
Oh yes! Jazz stations should be eating this song up by now. Kudos to Prep! 👌
Yes thanks that's who this was reminding me of! Very much Al
Listen to the moonlight theme by al jarreau that shit is so cold blooded I have to listen to it at least once a day ❤
Yep, this plays on radio stations in my country on a regular basis
Im itching to do a stepping dance to this.
I literally just realize it's a cover after listening to it for 3 months
It totally feels like PREP's own song
Same
i love harry with all my heart but this way better than the original omg
Agreeeee🤟🏼💖
I have to agree
TRUTH!!! I cant get off of it!!
hate to say this but SAMEEE 😂😂😭😭
Facts!❤
I wasn't ready for the soul and funk perfection of this song. But I'm sure glad it came...taking me where I need to be. ❤️
I can't believe this is a cover, its so much better then the original
I agree
Loved Harry for years but dude this coverrr. Prep never fail, they have this own sound that gives this certain touch/feeling.
I second to this!
Why is THIS SONG SO GOOD??? I can't stop playing it!!!!
Yeeesss me toooo
Me too I've never heard it before
Yeah, me to....
Me too!!
Good vibes…got this 60 year old here feeling like the 80’s and 90’s vocal jazz groove. ❤
This feels like the original from the 70's that eventually was forgotten and brought back to live by a remake
I absolutely adore soul/funk versions of pop songs. They never disappoint to be an absolute vibe!
70's or 80's vibes. 😊❤
Heard this on a random insta reel and fell down a rabbit hole. Amazing cover.
Same!👊😎💚
Same 😊
Same!
Same
Same. You can find a lot of good stuff on those reels.
Omg I’m sorry Harry but this cover is so damn smooth. It’s giving 70’s soft rock 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😎
The drums on the verses are similar to the beginning of "I keep forgetting " by Michael McDonald, and the keys are similar chords to that song as well, good ear.
His voice isn’t this groovey for this
in my opinion it's a modern montown vibe with a bass player that's a cross between James Jamerson and Bootsy Collins and a crazy groove band, but more on the groove side and not rock.
And a lit bit of Cory Wong
No this is japanese citypop / funk
This song is gorgeous - makes me cry listening to it cos it sounds so nostalgic with that smooth soulful 70s vibe - takes me back to my carefree childhood days
th-cam.com/video/UCvOMco-6dE/w-d-xo.html
A mí también y mucho , cada que la escucho
80s max boss :D
Oui..moi aussi..ca m'a attrape
Better than the original one
The saxophone
was✨PERFECT✨
Both versions feel like day and night ❤️
I could play this 1000 times and not get tired of it. Fresh, smooth cover.
I'm on number 101
this cover takes my soul to a different dimension
❤
That track has perfect balance of retro, vibe, lyrics nice nice
내가 제일 좋아하는 밴드!!
고2때 미치도록 들어서 그때 분위기랑 눈내린 등굣길, 그때 좋아하던 애의 모습까지 어렴풋이 기억난다.
재수 끝이나면.. 다시 새로운 추억을 쌓을 순간이 오길

Made my heart skip a beat when the saxophone was introduced!! 😭😭
Holdin' me back

I want you to hold out the palm of your hand
Why don't we leave it at that?

In this world, it's just us
You know it's not the same as it was

As it was
You know it's not the same as it was
As it was, as it was
Thanks
Tysm!
Merci ❤️🙏
This transcends the realm of a mere cover; its excellence is unparalleled and deserving of a distinguished title. Bravo 👏
Bro, I love this so much. It reminds me of a smooth jazz version of as it was
Rarely is a song better or on par with the original, this one is that anomaly. On repeat, Loved it!
Right!
A million times better, I hate the original.
I like this better than the original version!
One of the most beautifulest songs I've ever had the pleasure of hearing.
This is the best cover I've ever heard, I thought this was the original.
Never mind the Harry Styles version this one is the best.
This song makes the original song look like a cover. I like the one👏
Can’t stop playing! It’s very ironic that the song sounds a lot fresher with the old groovy 80s beats
I swore this was the original song. Goosebumps on the version.
The 80s vibe though!!!!
💯 70s Bee Gees style.
@@cadillacstr8mk Are you paying attention to the sound choices at all? All 80s.
@@brandonwilliams966 are you listening to the vocal stylings at ? The Bee Gees were popular in the 70s.
@@cadillacstr8mk I am. The vocal stylings are more reminiscent of Steely Dan... and again, the vibe of the music... 80s.
@@cadillacstr8mkno this is actually a japanese citypop / future funk
This cover honestly just tickles the soul differently.
The vibes are immaculate
Now i feels this vibe like 70's ❤️
This is lit. Sorry harry but this version is heavenly sounded like a classic!🥰🥰🥰
Harry who??
@@constancegomez351 she meant harry styles/the original singer of the song
I love this version. It's so soulful and soothing... Feels like I'm in a long ride and forgetting all my problems and just enjoying the trip and the view...
Thanks for this such a therapy!!! ❤
👍👍
Oh damn, so funk, so smooth, so groove, I love it
This version has more ✨FLAVOR✨
I heard this version on TikTok and I kept looking here in YT search engine,
As it was remix-no
As it was TikTok version-no
As it was 80’s version-no
As it was Jazz version- finally I found it.

Heard this while working at a local grocery store and started vibing to it immediately. This cover is amazing

they should have used guitar as an adlib
Wow I thought of lee ritenour as well
Parah uda seminggu gw dengerin ini jg tiqp hari ga bosen2 makin canduu!!!! Paraaah 😭😭 Apalagi dengerin bass nya , rasanya kayak nyesek nyesek enak
Then enjoy abigail yuk kita tuker sportify lagu gue ada nih vibes gini juga

Sama dehh. Emang keren banget doi ngecovernyaa
I think the original has turned into more of a pop classic and to hear a great song in a new way is definitely a wonderful feeling. It’s very close to hearing for the first time.
This was the version of the song I was introduced to...so smooth!
Finally hunting this song down!! It’s so good on reels across social media. I was never satisfied with the 10 seconds. I needed the whole thing.
This gave me some chills whenever I'm listening to this masterpiece.
i bet you listen to horses doin it! 😝
No comparison, this is so much better than the original
Prep PLEASE put this back on Spotify it is such a jam! Miss this tune.
Yeah it was removed!
Same 😢
its back!
its back!!!!!!!
This cover is such a vibe.
이런 펑크식 편곡 너무 좋습니다
Best cover of 2022 hands down . Blows the OG out the water.
sounds like a brand new song, i like it 💗
I just discovered this song a week ago and I will be using it at my wedding in Mexico for sure
I love this version , feeliing relax when hear it.
Bro I used to be so obsessed with this. Coming back later, yeah I get it
Wow, honestly thought this was the original and Harry did a cover. This has an old school, vintage vibe. Love this version!
This is the original lol Harry is the cover
@@melolabean7656 Oh...are you sure? Everyone in the comments is saying it's not. Either way, it's dope!
80'S vibe❤️
yes
More 70s.... a BeeGees sound, to me.
@@brittblessed nah this is either very late 70s or 80s, this is yacht rock through and through, George benson, doobie brothers sound.
I'd say about 1979-1980.
Yesssss! I HATE the original but I'm OBSESSED with this!!!! Good job!!
U should add me
Me too❤
This cover is soooo much better than Harry's original version. Please give us more!
To conceive a track is one thing...
Its arrangement however is another art altogether.. 👏
Crusaders meets Al Jarreau..?
Thank you PREP for bringing back the 80s vibe in your rendition and in your original songs. Love the "Cheapest Flight" too and will def listen to the rest of your tracks.👍💖
This is what real music sounds like 👍🏼
Falling in love with this version
I love this cover! It relaxes me so much! I could hear this 1,000 times and not get tired of it! This just so smooth and calming, I will definitely listen to this a lot!
THIS SOUNDS FIRE 🔥
I will like my own comet
Bro this is just so much better than the original. Those juicy chords and funky bass riffs, and the production value is actually higher lmaooo
When the cover surpasses the original one! bravo! great P Bass sound with roundwound strings is plus!
I love this. Has a late 70's, drive time vibe going on. ❤
City Pop vibes!! 💯✨🍃
I don't impress most of cover songs but this one is insanely good
This got the 80s vibe 🥰
What a remake! Blows the original out of the water, smooth like silk & melty like butter 😍🙌
That’s a hell of a sax solo… Buttery smooth!
I lovw this version of the song, its sounds groovy and fun.
How ever i feel like thats whats missing, harry styles makes this song sound emotional and heart felt. Meanwhile this version sounds like a dance club song.
They turned this into a sun-kissed City Pop jam!
Heard this on tiktok and immediately knew it was you guys 😭💘 the most unique voice and rhythm!!!
Heard this at H&M today and I was hooked!
I love how old type songs are making a comeback. This is real music people
I didn’t even grow up in the 70s and 80s and I still completely agree
@@ChicoStopMotion You can bring the 70's and 80's back without it sounding "old".. I really hope this trend continues( I'm 61 btw).
Bro that crazyyy
A Zenless Zone Zero meme with Caesar and Lighter brought me here 🔥
Wow.... It's sounds so 80s.... Love it
Great version of "as it was" Amazing arrangment and production. 70's vibes yea!
On first listen, I thought this was the original and Harry covered this version. Nice job, PREP!
As much I love the original version, but as soon as I listen to this version, I smile & thought, that this was the original version 🤣
Me too😆😍
I get David Bowie vibes from this guy's voice. I really dig this.
I’m addicted to this cover!
