Lets just say if you go to spotify/apple music/wherever you get music and look up “as it was matty greg” you might like what you find 😏
NO WAY
Maaaaaan thank you so much! I love this version ❤️
Thank you!
Thank you!
thank you so fucking much! 😭🖤
I'm really laughin' out loud at how ridiculously accurate this is.
It's like the sum of "Reptilia", "The Adults Are Talking" and A-Ha's "Take on Me".
well... and "As it Was"
Haha there’s a bit of hard to explain in there too
That’s how I’ve explained as it was to people lmao
@@masterfamclothingco And I would add "To Die in L.A." by Lower Dens
One way trigger ??
i consider this an official cover and no one can convince me otherwise
Same hahaha
Sounds nothing like the strokes
why are you bitter @@DigitalDaffodil
@@teddyeatspudding about what?
This not sounding like the strokes?
@@DigitalDaffodil I wouldn't call it a one-to-one comparison, but the vibe is 100% there imo.
2:24 the "Adults are talking" part really fit here and I think it was a great addition to the song
Ty 🥰 i just KNEW i had to throw something in for the strokes homies~
BRUUUUH THAT SHIT BRUUUUHHHHH
Especially considering Julian likes to throw variants of that line in different voidz songs as well!
@@mattygregmusic YESSSSS!!!! StroKEs HoMiEs foR liFEEEE
OMG YES I WAS THINKING THAT!!!
i know, this is not your first time here
It actually is... Haha. But sure will be back.
@@Memorh19Same here lol
First time...😭😭😭😭😭😭
I just heard the Harry Styles version and was shocked by how much it already sounded like the strokes
The chord progression is Julian’s signature progression and the production is very New Abnormal like.
@@NotDingse what’s Julian’s signature chord progression? Would a signature sound be for the verse, chorus, or both?
Harry Styles is doing indie rock/pop since Fine Line
@@destroso both verse, chorus and bridge use the same chord progression.
@@NotDingse I’ll look it up and try to decipher it. Thanks
the verse of 'the adults are talking' in the end of the cover was WONDERFUL.
Had to throw in a little something for the homies~
amazing!!!!
And the backing track😭😭😭
you know the taste of your mouth
Its the bridge!
Fits so well because Strokes songs often sound "happy" melodically but the lyrics are more melancholy. Great work man!
@SweetChick10101 definitely one of the reasons I do as well
This strokes version is 100 times better than the actual version, way more exciting.
both are pretty good tbh, not a harry styles fan but he did well with this song
I disagree but oh well, it doesn't matter
@@lukyluk_py lucky no one asked or we'd be in real trouble
I remember my first time listening to the harry styles song and was questioning why I liked it… then I realised it sounds like a strokes song
Bro you are so wrong ma boi
this is AMAZING and at the same time so scarily accurate
Right omg I’m so thankful this exists
The actual strokes should tour with this cover 👌👌👌
And i should open 🥰🥰🥰
Totally agree ✨✨✨
@@mattygregmusic u literally ARE Julian casablancas
@@mattygregmusic the strokes did a lil cover few days ago in portugal 😆
They did
The Strokes covered part of this song at their show in Lisbon a couple days ago. I’ve been listening to your version nonstop lately and it was surreal to see live from the band themselves.
There is any video of that?
@@CuriiCorewell there’s audio.
@@CuriiCore th-cam.com/video/ySjEdHaXajc/w-d-xo.html
Yes there’s video, they did clairo at the same time too. th-cam.com/video/ySjEdHaXajc/w-d-xo.html
@@CuriiCoreth-cam.com/video/VlNrVev7WRI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=a6tlFKp2LolIQEwm
I’m now convinced Harry Styles version is actually a cover of this old strokes song
Haha yes!
i keep forgetting julian isn’t the one singing this 😭 it’s so good omg
The highest praise tysm~
I imagine The Strokes would actually play this in future concerts.
Yes OR Harry!!! OR me 😳😳😏😏
@@padeprenom explain yourself, person of the TH-cam comments
@@Burumprum they played the song (or rather a small part of the song) at one of their recent live shows
@@moleon1682 which part?
@@CardBreaker9 imma complete the thread th-cam.com/video/ySjEdHaXajc/w-d-xo.html
i saw them two days ago at a festival in berlin and julian was literally talking about this on stage
Wait WHAT? What did he say?
you cant leave him on a cliffhanger like that!!! WHAT DID JULIAN SAY???
Can’t believe that two years have passed since this comment was posted there’s still no answer..
3 year cliffhanger oh my god
I’ve never been a fan of Harry Styles but I’ve always loved the Strokes. Even though “As it Was” is structurally sound the style never caught my attention, but this version is pretty good omg
A good song is a good song my friend
Nah same, I didn't like the song much at first, then I saw this version and was like "OHMIGOSH ITS THE STROKES"
@@VictorBerquez Yep, like, it's okay to not like a style, but "structurally sound" is a very douchy way to say the song is good lmao
@@franciscofarias6385 😂
@@franciscofarias6385 A song being good is insanely subjective. Who cares now people describe it? Butthurt that this is better than the original?
This is great! Your voice in the verses sounds like a combination of Julian and early Alex Turner. Very cool!
I played this for my boyfriend and he said the same thing, came here to comment that 😂
Alex Turner just wanted to be one of the strokes... Same tho 👀👀👀
Aw my favorites yes true
It's a HEAVENLY COMBINATION!!!
@@Ebc888 what a great girlfriend holycoe. Lucky guy
I wish he would have sang “Julz, you’re no good alone” but still a great what if cover.
better than the original change my mind
Thank you, this strengthens my theory that The Strokes and JC's partnership with DaftPunk reshaped pop music in the last 5 years thanks to their massive impact since their debut. The Weeknd, Harry Styles, Tame Impala, Sam Fender, Clairo's Sophia, Ed Sheeran, etc. have all sounded like them in some of their songs. Also, they saved rock with "Is This It". Good work.
🤌🏽🤌🏽
Honestly, the Strokes and Daft Punk are the unsung MVPs in recent years. I get they're quite well-known but I barely know anyone who genuinely talks about them, so you could argue they kinda reshaped pop from behind the scenes.
Man, this was exactly what I wanted. The song screams 'New Abnormal'.
Would love to see both artists perform this together
I would pay a lot of money for that concert
This actually just goes so hard. I need this to be a real thing.
It is now on Spotify and Apple Music 🎼🎶
Yo wtf hey
Brb gonna check if it’s on TH-cam music 😁
If you press play it becomes a real thing!
@@domo.sapien yeah I swear I’m a pretty empathetic person…but some people are just beyond help😂😂😂 soooo dumb
You absolutely nailed it! TH-cam algorithm brought me here.
You really sounds like Julian. Congratz for that! Instruments sound very accurate too.
tysm! catch me making more covers and originals in this style v soon~
This is so incredibly impressive. Not only sounds dead on like the strokes but still makes the song great.
I forgot I wasn't listening to The Strokes by the end! This was so good
Same
that’s whaaattt!!! ugh saaaammmee🙌🏻😭
You deliver that julian-esc rasp so well and that TAAT falsetto gives me life
Tysm 🙏 had to be real meticulous on my delivery of that legendary falsetto bit
This totally reminds me of a lesser known strokes song called “Hawaii”, amazing production and sound my dude! This rocked my world and made me pick up my guitar again for the first time in a few years!
Tysm 🙏 inspiring someone to pick up their instrument is like the greatest compliment ever 🙏
YES HAWAII. I listen to both on repeat constantly 💕
Such a silly little song made by silly little people
Love the way you sing it, sounds just as Julian´s voice but with your own personal touch. Also the bass like reptilia and the verse with one of the adults are taking guitar riff on it! Amazing! A delight for us The Strokes fans.
So… my favorite band and my favorite solo artist. This is art, I’m crying.
Are you me? Lmao
Who knew there were so many people at the intersection of strokes and styles
@@mattygregmusic Me it's me!
me too 😅
TRUEE
[Verse 1]
Holdin' me back
Gravity's holdin' me back
I want you to hold out the palm of your hand
Why don't we leave it at that?
Nothin' to say
When everything gets in the way
Seems you cannot be replaced
And I'm the one who will stay, oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
In this world, it's just us
You know it's not the same as it was
In this world, it's just us
You know it's not the same as it was
As it was, as it was
You know it's not the same
[Verse 2]
Answer the phone
"Harry, you're no good alone
Why are you sitting at home on the floor?
What kind of pills are you on?"
Ringin' the bell
And nobody's coming to help
Your daddy lives by himself
He just wants to know that you're well, oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
In this world, it's just us
You know it's not the same as it was
In this world, it's just us
You know it's not the same as it was
As it was, as it was
You know it's not the same
[Bridge]
Go home, get ahead, light-speed internet
I don't wanna talk about the way that it was
Leave America, two kids follow her
I don't wanna talk about who's doin' it first
[Break]
I don't, I don't want anything
I know it's not, it's not your fault
I don't want anyone
As I do it's not for you
[Outro]
Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah, ooh, ooh
As it was
You know it's not the same as it was
As it was, as it was
You know it's not the same
You know you've truly made it when ppl are posting the lyrics in your comments 😌😌😌
Came here to do this. :')
This is awesome, you really nailed Julian Casablancas's crooning & semi-screaming
Wow, throughout the song, I kept being blown away at how much you NAILED that unique "Strokes" sound in each instrument, melody, and harmony. Absolutely amazing!
Unbelievable. Please please Spotify version now!!!!
This the best strokes impression ever. There is many on TH-cam but you’re the best !
Julian casablancas should listen to this now
I really hope this gets on Spotify I love this so much
I like it more than some actual strokes songs 🤣
You can add it to your playlist on Spotify! (Only if you have premium)
@@SaiyanCat elaborate on this please friend
@@matthewpeterson7652 You just have to download this video as an mp3, turn on your local files in the spotify settings both in your computer and phone (if you have windows you can open the spotify settings with ctrl+p,) move this song to your selected folder and it should apear in the local files folder in spotify, from there you just add it to your playlist as a normal song.
obviously you should remove it when he uploads it to spotify so you can support him.
this makes me SO happy. it gives me such warm nostalgic feelings. I feel like it's 2008 again and I'm driving around in summer with my windows down feeling teenage feelings
That's exactly how the strokes make me feel too 🥰 I'm so happy to be able to give you that feeling!!!
Ps. You can find this now on Spotify and Apple Music so you can add it to your summer driving playlist ~
Amen!
I miss teenage feelings lol
i like this more than the original. more dynamics with the vocals and the energy feels greater. good job dude
Agreed!
They did a small cover of this song last week in Lisbon at NOS Alive
I love that when we think any song in Strokes style we always tend to think it more towards Is This It or Room On Fire. It’s always expected and it always feels good.
btw the rhythm guitar at the bridge 00:34 kinda reminds me of “I can’t win” maybe?
No duh. Those 2 are their best albums.
es una mezcla de muchas canciones de the strokes
Well yes.
@@lokomoko008 I'll also add New Abnormal to that list.
that part reminds me of the "no harm, he's armed" part in trying ur luck
This is the closest version that I'd imagine what the perfect alternative version of this would be. Love it
Imagine if Harry OR Julian heard this 😳😳😳
I've been listening to The Strokes and As It Was again and again for the past month and this feels like it was specifically designed for me. Thank you.
It´s perfect man!
This is the classic example of content I enjoy as much as I have absolutely nobody to share it with
This is AMAZING! I could have teared up with the bit of "Adults are Talking" toward the end :') You really encapsulated The Strokes, especially in the 'roles' of each guitar part
Thank you so much!!! The highest praise i could get 🥰🥰🥰
I just watched the Arcade Fire cover of this song, and kept thinking... have The Strokes covered this yet? Alas, the search brought me here, and that was exactly how I pictured they would do it. Bravo & thank you, Matty Greg!
You absolutely floored me with the adults are talking part. Sounds exactly like julian did it!
I did my absolute darndest, thank you for listening my friend 🙏
Gosh, this feels so natural as unreal, it's really perfect. I loved it. Waiting for having it on Spotify. Congrats.
Let's just say if you look up "as it was matty greg" on Spotify/apple music you might like what you find 😏
@@mattygregmusic Thank you!! Love it. 🔥
You know what i love the most about this cover? That the synthpop era of The Strokes (Angles, CM, TNA) is finally ACCEPTED BY FANS AND CRITICS! As much as i love the first 2 iconic garage lo-fi Stroke albums this new era (glossy production, arpeggiator synths, insane falsettos) speaks to my soul! Best thing I've heard in 2022! No joke, you are talented af! From your producing skills to the instrument/singing execution! Already hungry for more!!!
I've ALWAYS been a fan of Angles and CM since they came out (actually, CM dropped on my 17th bday 🥰), and i was absolutely pulling mostly from CM for this. The fact that so many people vibe with this makes my feel like "gotcha! See you do like CM, go listen again without bias 😹"
TNA is my favourite Strokes project, it just hits a different spot than Is this it and Room on Fire
Bro left out first impressions 😢
Music is finally getting fun again.
I had this on my spotify discover and I was like "i didnt know The Strokes covered As it was" then I looked at the artist and was super confused. So now I stumble onto this video and it all makes so much more sense.
Very impressed with your skils, both singing and producing, you're something else dude!
tysm!! catch me releasing more covers and originals in this style soon :)
thinking of splicing your chorus and harry’s bridge, the sound would be immaculate
the extra piece from the adults are talking OH GREAT HEAVENS
Had to throw something in for the homies 😏
Also you can find it on Spotify and Apple Music now!
I always thought this song was a direct influence from the Strokes. Which is brilliant!
Man even the Casablancas vocal scoops are there I love it
Dude this is a whole fucking brand new song. Amazing work!
2:10 is sooo accurate you sound just like julian
🥰🥰🥰🥰
YES. And 2:25 same.
i’m so in shock your voice is absolutely insane. subscribed.
also i freaking LOVE this plz upload on tidal👉🥺👈
Glad Tommy Innit post this on his insta story. This is really good man.
It's scary how accurate this is 😳🖐️❤️
Your voice bro holy shit good job. Any chance this gonna be on Apple Music? 🤞🏼keep up the great work
Let's just say if you look up "as it was matty greg" on Spotify/apple music you might like what you find 😏
@@mattygregmusic ahhhh omg sweet
What you’ve done here is nothing short of incredible. You show so much appreciation for the music. It’s a great listen!
appreciate it so very much, ty 🙏
A friend of mine showed me this song when I told him I liked As It Was from Harry Styles and I'm stunned at how accurate and amazing this cover is!
Keep up the good work!
Literally getting goosebumps
im literally in love with this. i love this song and the strokes this makes me so happy i love itttt
Let's just say if you look up "as it was matty greg" on Spotify/apple music you might like what you find 😏
The TH-cam algorithm did me right when it shared one of your shorts! Holy smokes this is fire!!! I listened to this on repeat, trying to parse out of the band's key elements that of course you captured. Well done! Excited to learn and share!
Thank you daddy algo! And thank you for your kind words :) i have a TON of videos deeply analyzing the strokes style, check out my page!
Jeez. You're so talented! For a moment I've thought it was Julian's voice for real. I closed my eyes and I could picture The Strokes playing this on stage. You did an amazing job! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Stroky Styles
I have been playing this non stop since this dropped
Let's just say if you look up "as it was matty greg" on Spotify/apple music you might like what you find 😏
BRO this is SICK! Release this to spotify!!
Let's just say if you look up "as it was matty greg" on Spotify/apple music you might like what you find 😏
The guitar riffs as you're belting "as it was" impregnated me 😂
for me this is an official Strokes song and no one will make me think differently
I just heard the harry styles song this morning and immediately thought of the strokes so played a few of their songs. And wondered how cool would it for them to play this. And then I get recommend this. That’s why I love TH-cam. Thank you!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️
The way you absolutely nail Julian’s tone in every. single. register is truly impressive. Before I read the description I assumed someone used AI to produce the voice, it was that good. I can’t get over it. You even jumped between vocal registers in a pattern that Julian would totally do. A+ from me, I’m blown away by how good this is
thank you so very much my friend! the highest praise here :)
@@mattygregmusic thanks for the awesome cover, it's been seven months since I saw this video and this cover is a still a regular bop on my playlist. Friends love it too :)
@@ObnoxiousNinja99 i am so happy to hear that, thank you 🙏 if you don't mind me mentioning, i just put out an original song in this style, perhaps you'd like that one too! Support from people like you really means the world 🙏
Brilliant, the world needs to know you did this!
Thank you my friend! Got some original music out and more on the way!
I absolutely LOVE this!! You're so talented.
This and hechizo by Ulises valadez contreras are my favorite songs ever that I found on tik tok , y’all are amazing
Proud to stand among the tiktok greats, i am not worthy 🙏
This was great ! Especially the last part from "The adults are talking" fitted so well , took me by surprise !
Man, this is just so perfect. Well done. I can't stop listening to it!
Goes unapologetically hard
Oh my god!!! This is PERFECT!!!! Well done, amazing job! 👏👏👏👏
this genuinely made me so happy. i absolutely adore the strokes, they’re my all time favorite band and this was recommended to me and i could not be happier. this is soooo wonderfully done, it sounds absolutely amazing and your voice is perfect!
This is so good it captures the essence with the Amp settings and the spot of vocals so well
I didn't know I needed this!!!! I can't believe how accurate it is. Became a huge strokes fan after seeing them live at lollapalooza this year and I've been a Harry styles fan since forever, its like my two worlds collided! Loved it. Please keep doing this❤️
It's crazy how accurate this is! You've got yourself a new subscriber and I'm really looking forward to your future works
absolutely amazing, that bridge was killer
this is wicked mate I love it, very cool
Thank you for making an already easy listening bop into one of the best covers I've heard. Perfectly emulated the Stroke's style!
Thank you so much for this, as an avid Strokes listener since I was little, you NAILED IT. It was truly needed
Tysm 🙏
You can add this to your playlists on Spotify and Apple Music now if you'd like~
THIS IS SO FREAKING AWESOME BRO, KEEP DOING STUFF LIKE THIS PLS
Stay tuned! Lots more strokesy covers AND originals coming~
Me lo imaginé pero no pensé que existiera, lo encontré y suena mejor de lo que pensé
Had this recommended to me by Discover Weekly I nearly flipped shit when I started hearing The Adults Are Talking. Dude does an amazing job recreating the strokes’ aesthetic
this is too good im going to cry man i fucking love this i need it on spotify😫😫😫😫
Let's just say if you look up "as it was matty greg" on Spotify/apple music you might like what you find 😏
God I wish they would do this. You did a solid job emulating Julian (especially changing to lower octaves) but I’d love to hear him on this
Now i know why I like this Harry Styles song .
great cover man, and thanks a lot for put it in Spotify
hi, can you make a video where you explain the production process of this? how you effect the vocal, your choice of drums, simply mixing.and did you do it from Logic?
I did not use logic! I use studio one. But all DAWs are capable of this stuff. I wasn't planning on doing a production tutorial but would something like that entice you (or others) over to my patreon? 👀👀👀
@@mattygregmusic yes.
@@mattygregmusic YESSSS
@@mattygregmusic pretty sure. This blow my mind. How did you make this? ..you are awesome dude!!!
God damn this is fantastic, love the TAAT bridge and the I Can't Win riff at 0:39
My friendo here catching all the easter eggs 😏
wait i can't win ?? how, where ??
I feel like I hear a between love and hate more than a I can’t win riff
@@shibbabakery in the prechorus, the guitar in the right channel is literally playing the main riff to i can't win
@@bryandeleon9559 look at you with the ears 😏😏😏 in the prechorus, the guitar in the right is literally the i can't win riff. At the same time, the guitar in the left is playing an arpeggio with the exact same rhythm as the guitar in the better of between love and hate
YES!!!!! thank you so much for making this cover! it made my day :^)
This is absolutely amazing!! I love it
Dear god, this is an amazing cover!
Tysm 🥰
@@mattygregmusic nb!
I FREAKING LOVE THIS! 😍 We need this in Spotify 🙏
