Never Meant to Know (Tally Hall Cover)

this one's a little more simple in regards to how it mimics and changes the original, but there's a good amount of behind-the-scenes stuff i learned from it so stiff shit.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LYRICS:
Woke up today with the lay of the land.
Feather in cap and the sun in the sand.
It was easy, it was easy to understand.
Everything suddenly falls out of sight.
Every attachment is made of the light,
that you offered. You have offered to give me life.
[See the sky and all the land together again.
See the way the earth can stay below.
Who do we think we are? Everything plays a part.
There are some things we are never meant to know.]
Having enjoyed all the meat from the bone,
is perfectly equal to being alone.
It was even, but you breathe and I turn to stone.
Everything suddenly looks like a sign,
easy to see from the outermost climb.
I believe in, what I leave in the way, behind.
[]
And all the parts combine to one.
And all of us around the sun.
Everything will fall away.
To order from the disarray.
See the sun the shadows cast,
from all the times I floated past.
See the ocean spinning out,
with all the hope and all the doubt.
See the sky and all the land together again.
See the way the earth can stay below.
Who do we think we are? Everything plays a part.
There are some things we don't understand.
Reasons, on the other hand.
There are some things we are never meant to know.

Chonny if it isn't a Hawaii part II reference will you make a part 2? (With other tally hall songs)

[@personthatsreal]

No one ever makes covers of Good and Evil, glad you stepped up to the plate. You are extremely underrated, you deserve a lot more regonition.

[@rainrunner2233]

I sense there are characters in this album, I’m getting that the grey is also the soul. But I’m not sure if black is mind and white is heart. It’s hard to tell.

Also, mind is left, heart is right, soul is center when listening (typically)

YOOOO this is incredible I might like it more than the original! The instrumental doesn't try too hard to do something too complex but it still works superbly, and your vocals are awesome! I especially like the effect(s?) you put on your voice throughout the song, it sounds like a vocoder going simultaneously with the clean vocals? Whatever it is it's superb and makes this cover all the more great!

[@ChonnyJash]

Yo this is a huge compliment! Cheers brother. Also, spot-on with the vocoder/clean vocal blend observation, good read!

I’m glad you chose not to write additional lyrics for this one, “Never Meant To Know” is absolutely sublime on it’s own. I like a lot of the additional lyrics you’ve written for Tally Hall songs but this one is just too perfect lyrically to mess around with.

[@BossKnight]

You’d be surprised what chonny would be able to do

[@The.Silicone.Valley]

I agree, The ruler of everything, those lines made it way better. However these lines are perfect as it’s own, but chonny can do mad things.

[@StealthViper212]

That’s because this song was written back when they were just covers and the story was in its very beginning

[@tetronym4549]

This one didn’t have any lyrical spins, but I’m kind of glad. This is probably one of my favorite Tally Hall songs in terms of general vibe and picture it paints with its lyrics, and I’m glad you kept that there :) Also isn’t it a little weird how in The Whole World and You, they talk about “metaphysical astronomical songs” but don’t actually have them until the second album?

Man, you're on a roll! 1 original + 1 cover all on 1 week? So happy to follow such inspired artist. Say, is this a one-in-a-million epiphany or is there a posting schedule being made?

[@ChonnyJash]

there isn't really any kind of schedule, i essentially just upload a video when a video is done. i have been revisiting old projects and touching them up though - specifically original songs - to upload to the channel.

[@lineichen1418]

Fair enought, so i hope that youtube doesn't forget to send me a notification like the last two videos :smile: Knowing that there's more originals on the way is pretty exciting!

[@mrspaceostrich5152]

Listening to the whole album again. I never really gave this song a fair turn when doing it the first time around. But damn, did I underestimate it. Its such a good version of this song. And it's made even better by the fact that this is one of the WEAKER songs on the album. If THIS is "the bottom of the barrel" you know how good the rest of this is. Also if you are reading this Mr.Jash: I RETRACT ABOUT WHAT I SAID ABOUT HEART IN A COMMENT UNDER TME. I realize I was blinded (Ha) by the concept of emotions. I now know the intricacies of his violent tendencies and the difference between good and bad emotions. Please forgive me

[@lilyblade3289]

Such an underrated song imo, I'm very happy to hear your cover for it! Though I was interested to what changes you may have made to the lyrics, I think not changing them was perfectly fine. You're totally allowed to focus on & experiment with other elements of the song too, and it turned out sounding wonderful! 10/10 :)
