I wish I randomly came across Zac playing out in public.

[@EmeraldAquarium]

+Slashy Stabby Channel If only!

[@charliedude2751]

Slashy Stabby Channel would give up my left ball for that

[@lukehostetter9354]

Same I wish I could tell Them how much there music has been there for me

[@joshhale9355]

I love that he sounds traditionally "bad" he's a singer for a band that properly conveys old school punk. What do you expect with a punk singer? I love Zac's voice here, it makes me think of a high school dude who's sad about a girl, and i want listen to every day

[@mr.hedgehog420]

this song is also sung in a higher register than any of the songs he writes. so you can hear the strain it puts on his voice

[@jasonmcginnis2046]

this version of the song is so powerful. you can really hear the pain and anguish in zac's voice, and that just evokes a poignant feeling in me as a listener.

[@bennettweaver171]

Dude, I fucking love Zac's voice

[@Deathend]

Not sure why some people in the comment section are saying this sounds bad. The reason it sounds different is because it's raw vocals with a guitar. I think it sounds amazing, and the song he chose to cover fits perfectly inline with FIDLAR's feel.

[@reallyscaryrob2429]

Exactly! For people who say Zac sounds bad have not heard Blink play this live. Not hating at all I love Blink but no Punk band sounds the greatest live

[@Mattrf28]

It's not what you would normally call a "good voice" but at the same time it's organic and it's you and it actually sounds incredible. Kinda like Bob Dylan in a different way. Bob cannot sing but his music is beautiful

[@brycewinchode]

I haven't seen one bad comment about his voice I don't know what you guys are talking about

[@ohboi3274]

Bryce Winchode same

[@rmfcjr1]

They need a new album ASAP-I have money I am dying to spend

[@jonshepherd2760]

This is fucking great, his voice is kinda like Bob Dylans in that it's not "textbook" but it still sounds fucking amazing. Plus, he's used to screaming into a mic 100% of the time, not singing like Mark Hoppus does.

[@BenKuyt64]

He's a punk musician. They aren't supposed to sound "good". They're supposed to convey a message.

[@LukewarmBong]

Ben Kuyt It's not supposed to sound good, yeah.. but it's not supposed to sound horrible either lol. Idk, maybe unless it's electric I guess. Acoustic all around is kind of not punk unless you're Johnny Hobo or Captain Chaos. It's not even his real voice that he sings with though! This is some nasily falsetto (throat singing) that he's using because he doesn't want to actually scream and belt it out. You have to be really loud to do that so don't blame him but If I were him I would've just stopped recording as soon as I heard how bad my falsetto singing is (if it was like that at least lol) to save myself the embarassment

[@EGPlaysGames]

+Ben Kuyt Idk about you but, I listen to music that sounds good regardless of the message

[@averyangrydoggo7305]

then you didnt understand shit what music is all about

[@michaellilly5055]

Zoomy boi....

[@DendyJungle]

Ben Kuyt homie is out of tune tho. should have found a better key to sing to lets be honest. he is usually not this bad.

[@cuhlaire]

he's so adorable holy shit

[@alexanderpoopslie9129]

this is the first time I realized I wanted to know how to play this

[@karinaservin8857]

i actually think his voice sounds nice

[@LukewarmBong]

Karina Servin i actually think you and 14 other people are deaf

[@harleyguajardo9189]

I agree with you Karina his voice does kinda crack up a few times but it seems as if he's trying to fight back tears IMO.

[@LukewarmBong]

@@kurtscot6734 Hey Kurt. Thanks for replying to my 7yr old comment lol... I've since matured and have realized to not be so judgemental about flaws in peoples play/singing (as long as its still a coherent song). If a singer like Bob Dylan can become as huge a legend as he, then clearly being some masterful soul singer with perfect pitch or w/e is not important. It is all subjective. (Btw thats not me taking a jab at Bob Dylan or w/e. Just an example of someone who doesn't sing perfectly yet still finds amazing success)

[@Jaketacular420]

Their Acousic material is great. ❤

Emotion is wonderful

Just came back to this and it's just like the first time we met.. Fidlar Forever

so glad to discoverd fidlar

Sounds kinda like Conor Oberst from Bright Eyes.

[@jacobm3632]

I love the intro music to these videos, sounds like some old odd future stuff

[@kangarooklown9841]

I wish I was that person walking by, to see this live and give zac a hug

[@dangerunchained3128]

One of my favorite bands covering my first favorite band... so cool. "Dammit" is off the album, 'Dude Ranch' which is Blink's best album. Give it a listen.

[@TRAHER3223]

Спустя столько лет звучит все так же афигено

[@найрозумніший]

I want more FIDLAR!!! :)

[@niggaratgoofbitch5228]

zac is drunk, probably high, sitting on an a wooden railing and singing a relationship song right around the same time his fiance died from a drug overdose. Of course it's not gonna sound good

[@fuckinpandemic25]

Shit you're right

[@bedroommusic1537]

It sounds good as fuck wym

[@aaron4ism]

@@bedroommusic1537 yes I agree, but you can kinda tell he is almost kinda certainly off the booze. Love fidlar and I'm glad he is alive now. God bless him dude

[@kainsemyonov3244]

It's alright to tell me what you think about me I won't try to argue or hold it against you I know that you're leaving, you must have your reasons The season is calling, your pictures are falling down The steps that I retrace, the sad look on your face The timing and structure did you hear he fucked her? A day late a buck short I'm writing the report On losing and failing when I move I'm flailing now And it's happened once again I'll turn to a friend Someone that understands Sees through the master plan But everybody's gone And I've been here for too long To face this on my own, well I guess this is growing up Well I guess this is growing up And maybe I'll see you at a movie sneak preview You'll show up and walk by on the arm of that guy And I'll smile and you'll wave, we'll pretend it's okay The charade, it won't last, when he's gone I won't come back And it'll happen once again You'll turn to a friend Someone that understands And sees through the master plan But everybody's gone And you've been there for too long To face this on your own, well I guess this is growing up Well, I guess this is growing up Well, I guess this is growing up Well, I guess this is growing up Well, I guess this is growing up Well, I guess this is growing up

[@meatwoodflac4526]

this songs kinda hard to play and sing especially on acoustic.

[@deonkenton2842]

Just like that one blink 182 song

[@Pivotguy419]

Is there a version of Zac's take on this song (Particularly, this recording) up without the annoying intro? The only other place I've found this was in the fanmade "Sadface" comp album. I really love this take on this song, just wish i could find it alone without the intro that sounds like you mixed "drop it like it's hot" with an 8-bit indie game. I would do it myself but audio editing and stuff isn't really my thing.

[@dangilmour7561]

M-47 you could crop the audio in iMovie or movie maker

Alright it sounded not the best vocally but...... the way it was sung had passion and made me feel something therefor it was a great performance..

[@nvfpv]

Can any please help me find the strumming pattern at 1:10? please? been trying to learn this song but I'm stuck at this part. Thanks!

[@mongster_0364]

DDUUDU

[@Skintykween]

He reminds me of my junkie guy friends from years ago

[@CarsonCameronClark]

I don't think he's a bad singer but he's reaching for all of these notes.. he should turn down his guitar to a lower key so he doesn't have to strain his throat.

[@BamGoesHam]

+Carson Clark pretty sure thats the style of his voice, just listen to fidlars normal songs haha

[@lostlegend710]

Low key sounds like kermit the frog at 1:07

Hey great guitar skills! Would appreciate if you'd check out our cover.

[@DannyCaseyMusic]

Is this intentionally bad?

[@joehfot]

he's better than this

[@joeyortega2634]

I'm sorry. I listen to a lot of pop punk/punk and i get that "they are suppose to not sound good, that's what makes it work and makes it raw". I get it and it does work.....buuuut this guy just doesn't sound good. It's not even raw good. It's too whiney. He should have went an octave or two down to a spot he felt more comfortable. People now a days need to realize its ok to give constructive criticism. Not everyone can sound good because it sounds different.

[@CZVergilius]

That voice isnt good

[@this2willpass416]

+kubiczaczech its not ment to sound good, its meant to convey a message

[@angeloalarcon8546]

He makes punk music, what did you expect, and instead of listening to it and complaining like a little bitch, you could've just gone off the video and never return back to it. Just saying

[@CZVergilius]

+Angelo Alarcon :D Shut up

[@angeloalarcon8546]

kubiczaczech :D I'm just trying to stop people from complaining about art

[@dakewlwon]

This video is painful to watch. He's really struggling to sing in that key, he should've taken it down a notch. ouch!

[@evanenochs6824]

emo cover?

[@alanspivey4572]

no, definitely not an emo cover. Zac, as you can tell, is a member of FIDLAR, a skate punk/garage punk band.

[@evanenochs6824]

ahhh durrrrr im just saying it sounds emo
