my title was too long which is why there r no spaces :( if anyone has a solution let me know please
it is 5:18am as i write this, and i am writing this before the video is even ready, one half is exporting now, and i’ll edit the rest for another couple hours from here. i’m writing this early because i’m excited, man, i know this isn’t one of the bangers or the combinations that people have been clamoring for, but it’s the one i came up with, and it’s the one that i’ve been dreading making for the past few weeks because i was afraid it wouldn’t be good or iconic or anything new or innovative. but i don’t know, for the time it took me to make this, [in a dead sprint, sustaining momentum in these final hours, ripping at my lungs for air, etc], i think it is a nice little return to my roots. :) and i hope you agree.
also just a reminder that this track and two individual demos (of both songs respectively) are available on bandcamp, today, august fourth, for bandcamp friday, when all proceeds of track purchases go to the artist without (most) fees . i don’t know if it’s clear but my microphone stand broke halfway through making this video , so truly and honestly, if a couple people enjoy this and throw a couple pennies my way over there, i would really appreciate it :( i love you. happy bandcamp friday
(for folks in the live chat, hey, i hope you’re doing well and i’m happy to see you! i just wanted to let you know in advance that i’m going to start being a little more triggerhappy with the timeout or remove-comment features and i don’t want you to think i am upset or that i hate you or anything if it happens. i just ask that when i request that something stops in the chat, even if it’s something silly like puns on my name, please heed so i don’t have to click buttons . i know that we’re friends and stuff but because we’re friends you should know, i get uncomfortable about unexpected and silly things . im only human)
okay im going to get back to editing this video now. getting down to the wire here i can hardly breathe! love you . see you soon!

hey everyone, thank you so much for your kind comments and your continued presence here with me even as i lose my grip on consistent posting. the link below has 3 different versions of this track in HQ for free download, but if you could drop a dollar for even just one of the tracks, it would really help me a lot. i love you, it’s embarrassing to ask, but let me know if three covers out of one mashup is something you like and would enjoy again ❤️❤️❤️ bandcamp link: clemturner.bandcamp.com/album/come-a-little-closer-x-what-if-you-were-right-the-first-time

[@shannoncousins5749]

Don't be embarrassed, you're a thriving artist! Those of us who can support you would do so happily!

[@thepalewalker6364]

dont worry, your content is worth waiting for. also do you have any place you've stored your old music? I miss a lot of the blue/pink era songs and I only have the og bandfleet downloaded. :((

[@gabrielblyde2176]

Hey man, thanks for the mashups, and if it would please you, then I would appreciate if you could make more of them (:

[@clemturnerfirst]

@@thepalewalker6364 most of that is privated for dysphoria reasons but maybe one day i’ll re-record

[@Ivvelis]

@@clemturnerfirst i'd love to see a band fleet re-record as a prequel remake. the currently available one is one i constantly go back too. i'd pay good money to hear the first one.

[@TlMEOFDYlNG]

GUYS WAKE UP! NEW CLEM SONG TODAY

[@F.HeatherJoseph]

❤

[@Ivvelis]

" i was afraid it wouldn’t be good or iconic or anything new or innovative" my guy. with every project one does you are doing 1 of 2 things. you are either pushing your knowledge further to accomplish something, or using previously obtained knowledge to make something you can see in your mind. the fact that this exists at all is a huge testament to how beautiful the world can be. and by the way, this is fantastically good. definitely going on my phone with literally every other piece of music i have found from you.

[@demonindenim]

EXACTLYYYYY man it doesnt matter how much you think your idea has been done already, whether by you or someone else, it's the first time you've tried it in this specific way after applying your own beautiful artistic sense.

[@cali-fornia]

that ‘time flies’ got me levitating what in the world this is so good

[@Dontmindmeiinformmm]

Clem has such a diverse voice, not in the typical way. He manages to do so many songs with a voice that differs greatly from the original with covers and mashups, and yet it still sounds just as amazing. Absolutely breathtaking

[@jasioneveil]

the layering on this was just absolutely insane and that build??? yes absolutely, literally so good 🫶🏾🫶🏾

[@kd-exe]

"my nail color is black sharpie" LMFAOOO

[@electronicspork]

WHAT IF YOU WERE RIGHT THE FIRST TIME IS ONE OF MY FAV ARCTIC MONKEYS SONGS AND I ALSO REALLY LOVE CAGE THE ELEPHANT AND I PRACTICALLY SCREAMED WHEN I SAW THIS. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

[@notc0mmonpeopl3]

every time clem uploads a new cover i feel as though something great has been added to the universe. needless to say i really liked this one

[@v1xenb0nus]

REAL!!!!!

[@sungrrr9264]

you are so unbelievably talented i cant believe you are a real person😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@clemturnerfirst]

wow thank you!!!!

[@circo_]

I've unfortunately run out of energy to leave those big comments now (hey thank you, retail!), but you did great. This is an unexpected yet welcome cover and I greatly enjoy it

[@AudreyPaul-y3g]

WONDERFUL. I DON’T HAVE THE WORDS. CLEM STRIKES US WITH A BANGER ONCE AGAIN, AND HE SEEMS TO BE INCAPABLE OF NOT MAKING ABSOLUTELY SENSATIONAL MUSIC

[@Cetrizim]

Coming back to this piece after a year was such an experience, JUST as incredible as the first listen. Hope you’re doing well!! 🌟

[@magicboyo2110]

Please put this on spotify! I listen to this version so muchhhh

[@wowlookacoolusername5636]

the visuals, the subtitles, the mixing, the VOCALS- i cant stress how much every video clem has made DELIVERS in mood, intensity, and emotion WUUUAAAAA i love i love i love (frog is beautiful)

[@emiascrowson4603]

Singing with your videos as I transition (ftm) and my voice drops, i can only pray to have your range. You inspire me so much, man

[@jayjayspooks]

to be honest, i think clem has one of the best voices out there - its so soothing and calm but also has a kick to it :O its so cool! one of my favorite artists goes at it again with another banger

[@v1ntagecassette]

your voice is so CRISP. i'm always so impressed by the runs and the sustained notes and the harmonies and the everything else. you are the ceo of exploding my brain with your vocals

[@jedilizard5915]

You are one of the couple of channels that I will hit like on the video before it even starts playing because I know I"m never disappointed in the content. As always a joy to listen to, your voice is mesmerizing. Thank you for blessing us =)

[@clemturnerfirst]

i really appreciate you saying that, jedi lizard, my darling and most trusted friend . thanks for listening and being so kind

[@M00N_IVY]

Just wanted to come here and say how I love "Divine Loser" and that's how I found you! It's such an amazing song and now hearing your covers is so cool! I forgot how good the Arctic Monkeys are but more than that I really love your voice! It's so soft but powerful and yeah great cover! You did amazing :)

[@Meows44]

Dude i for real just woke up, saw this, and proceeded to punch and kick around my room for thirty seconds. I’m so happy and excited about this!!!! You’re awesome Clem!!!!!

[@clemturnerfirst]

U R AWESOME TOO THANK YOU FOR LISTENING

[@briannaisokay2286]

The vocal layering from like 3:00 to 3:50 oh my GODDD clem you can't keep getting away with this

[@TAEVSBLVE]

Your visuals are always eye-catching, and I think the way you’ve arranged the multiple camera feeds in this video is my favourite yet! You sound great and the inflections of emotion are the perfect touch. Thank you for introducing us to Frog the Cat as well!

[@kiro8002]

The fact you mixed such a niche AM song with another song that's extremely popular, and made it work!! love your layouts and the way you build these songs sm

[@nobody_5982]

crying, this is so good

[@Jaspanda_P]

I AM ALWAYS PREPARED TO SEE YOUR WORK CLEM!!! :D your voice is absolutely heavenly

[@th3o150]

honestly you could just stand there singing a single note for five minutes and i'd love it, send it too all my friends, play it on repeat, etc. amazing as always mate!

[@sarabrooks7065]

I floated outside of time and space during “time flies by”

[@lalamnmgirl]

each upload, no matter the space in between, is always such a treat and gift to listen to as the year passes by! stunning cover and vocals, much love!!

[@caIicomoon]

I literally ascended from my bed up to the stratosphere at the sound of your voice oh my god

[@emobean]

hello! odd little comment here, but thank you for helping me get through some breakdowns! your music helps me get my head back together a bit, your voice is so rich, and I love your range and style of your covers

[@divine_loser]

Shoutout to Clem for singlehandedly putting me on good music everytime a new cover comes out 🫶🫶

[@k1tsk1]

gods this is beautifully haunting. i've had such a hard time recently. i've been diagnosed with anemia and have been losing my hair, having muscle weakness, and (ofc) fainting spells and it hurts a lot. this feels like a hug. and also, i feel like you need a hug too *hugs*

[@s1eeping_gh0st38]

Screaming, crying, throwing up, every new video blows my expectations away, as always ur amazing clem!

[@plaztiksquidz]

TJANK U SO MUCH CLEM U LOOK SO GOOD AND THIS IS AMAZING

[@unconditionallyvalid]

4:07 god, the way the mic/audio fuzzes itches my brain in the best way. keep doing what you're doing, Clem. These are bops

[@fruityeel]

it’s 1am but i’ve been listening to literally every single cover/mashup you’ve posted and running around in circles WHY ARE YOU SO GOODDDD. i feel crazy. kicking my feet and screaming out of excitement. idk what you’re being fed but keep eating 🙏

[@RosileeJe]

This has been stuck in my head since you posted it and I just keep having to come back to listen lol, it's so cool. I swear you're one of the few people who can post a cover/mash-up of a song(s) I've never heard and I still HAVE to listen immediately because they're just always so well made! The way you can layer so many different harmonies and vocal lines without it feeling cluttered is GOALS. Another banger 👏

[@clemturnerfirst]

thank you for saying all this, truly. i’ve worried about my song choices for the past few months, specifically whether people would want to watch them or not, so it means the world that you listen despite not knowing the songs. just as well, i love to clutter audio (if only to be original ✌️😬) and i worry so much that it will be unlistenable, so i’m happy to hear that sometimes it doesn’t sound unlistenable! i love you, thanks for saying this

[@RosileeJe]

@@clemturnerfirst You're very welcome! Tbh I think I've started taking some inspiration from how you layer vocals since I first found your channel. I love to add a bunch of layers to stuff too, but making sure it doesn't just sound like a mess is so tricky sometimes lol. You're really good at it! Far from unlistenable, and in fact very cool 👌

[@catffiene6176]

LOVELY LOVELY MUSIC CLEM!!! also frog is so cute!

[@user-eq5dv4kg1g]

FROG MY BELOVED!!! amazing as always, I'll be looping this for weeks!

[@izzzy8901]

The bridge is driving me crazy oh my god i love this so much

[@nebulaayt]

you are so unbelievably underrated its actually crazy

[@HokageMMD]

oh my shit, i'm OBSESSED... you've absolutely done it again, clem!! cue rewinding this incessantly for the next handful of months because i simply can't get over it and or go a single day without listening to it at least once. you're amazing and i hope you're doing beyond well!! ❤❤

[@Shigarone]

I just woke up, did my daily check for notifications. Saw the insta story. Ran here excited

[@Shigarone]

Update this is clearly another instant Clem classic

[@demonindenim]

@@Shigarone this is a certified Clem Classic

[@abydos5039]

oH MY GOD HELL YEAH THIS IS AMAZING I LOVE BOTH THESE SONGS

[@V1XENMYTH]

this man never misses its so impressive

[@bottlecap_kid]

All of your uploads are phenomenal but this one has taught me how to fly, I think. I swear to god I like, ascended or something this was so good. Goddamn. Hope you’re doing well, and enjoying what you’re up to! Until the next upload, be well! EDIT: Hi Frog!!! What a beautiful little cat, my goodness :0

[@sillybillygrrrr]

i literally love this sm

[@jaybreezy1052]

I remember requesting this song a year or two ago and it surprises me you actually covered it. Thank you for blessing me ears🙃

[@k.bchaos1982]

Dear Gods sometimes I forget to comment b/c I get so caught up in the music, but I can't stress how good this is and the fact your one of my favorite vocalist's, and I can't count the amount of my friends I've make listen to your covers and them be completely blown away. Long story short however you feel the best producing your covers/mashups do it, no matter how long in-between them people will love them

[@ImjustMarah]

YOU ARE MY NEW FAVORITE SINGER OMG-

[@sheoingoonmyboingo]

Clem always manages to put the most WONDERFUL spin on every song he sings. Never stop, you’re the absolute best ❤

[@shannoncousins5749]

This is so good, it definitely feels like a return to your roots! Especially the harmony vocalization in the middle there (reminds me of Great Band fleet stuff) and damn the moment at 3:30 and then the scream at 4:08 wow fucking hell

[@clemturnerfirst]

you’re absolutely right, that’s so great band fleet core, i was trying to put my finger on it!

[@kuyannse]

Waiting for your comeback😭

[@martinkarlsson4012]

You know Clem you are truly phenomenal. Iistend to this when it was released and now roughly 100 listenings later its still my favorite cover. fantastic job 😊

[@clemturnerfirst]

thank you for saying that martin, i have been terribly insecure about this cover in particular and you have given me the wings i needed to fly

[@mataschmata]

i'm genuinely enchanted by your voice, and the amount of passion you put into your singing. you're incredible man

[@ImCade]

Great start to the day

[@disasterous]

[@desteneepershall1105]

I had a friend recommend one of your remixes and I've gone through and listened to a few of the older videos. You have a stunning voice. And I would love hearing you redo some of the older remixes!
