Good Thing | Zedd & Kehlani | funk cover ft. Abby Celso

[@lomeroger4101]

I’m a fifty-year-old Canadian who has lived in Japan for twelve years, and I was stuck with the 90s and 2000s stuff until I figured out about you guys in 2023. You made me dust off my guitars and loop station and fall in love with funk music. Now, I’m gathering with friends to play on small stages. Thank you so much. It’s funny that you make covers of famous artists and I’m making covers of you. lol. I watched the video of you guys playing in Frankfurt, and I agree with Ryan Lerman when he said, “We didn’t write these songs. We just made them better”, and it’s so true. You really make any song better than the originals. Regarding Abby Celso, I could stay in front of this girl, watching her singing for days. It’s incredible how she was enjoying herself while performing. And singing with that beautiful smile just made the whole thing look so easy. Maybe it was for her. Her confidence was peaking. She is a world-class star., Whenever you come to Japan, I will surely be there to watch you guys. Thank you very much.

[@vskallevag]

beautiful words ✨

[@ChelmoMatt]

I mean Abby obviously has a ridiculously sweet voice, but her performance is lifted by the fact that she looks like she’s having a great time singing it. I enjoy people enjoying themselves, it’s enjoyable!

[@robertlonergan9401]

Bang on! I immediately know if the artist is enjoying it and if not the show is over.

[@nathandavis5099]

There's a very Sade vibe to this that the world needs more of.

[@eldadarad1]

yeah, so chill

[@backauf]

spot on observation - and the bass does much to bring that vibe

[@Betterman89]

We need more Abby Celso in this world

[@pauloantonio5495]

Tim Lefebvre + 68' pbass = Animal tone.

[@imactuallyih3697]

The less drum kit Lemar has, the funkier he gets!

[@RicG.]

Yep - he shows you don't need a large kit to be a really effective drummer.

[@brandyD33]

Super insightful comment. That's why I'm always so quick to click on Scary Pockets' new videos. This channel has the best, most musician-minded comment section on the planet

[@TheBigburcie]

I'd love to hear him play with a paint can and a toothbrush.

[@dmsanct]

they say he clapped once and killed 10 people from the sheer grooveness

[@BHall-tw4ye]

Bruce, He could do it. I heard kids in Africa pull off stuff like that. Cheers.

[@JL-gg7ph]

Her voice is SOOOO smooth, and pleasing. And you guys are soOOO funkified. Slayed it.

[@DiogoPedrosaMusic]

I'd never think of that snare sound for this, but it's carrying the whole arrangement in such a cool way

[@jangohemmes352]

Felt too overtony for me from the start. But started coming around on that soon after, haha

[@LeoAr37]

Insane tone I love it

[@tommegg8486]

Unreal tone really!

[@TheFrederic888]

I did not notice there was a snare until you mentionned it 😂 ans then yeah it’s a snare

[@alexschroder6295]

This is the definitive version for me. Dropping the “fucking” in the first verse is the logical loss of the lone word that would have disturbed Abby Celso’s relaxed, soaring, confident mood of the song, expressing someone at ease with herself and the world around her, not needing a relationship to be whole, but rather accepting what may come only if it feels right, not afraid of moving on if it turns out not to be. I love the lyrics, and I don’t mind cursing where it makes sense but listening to the original, it changes the song immediately, feeling like it was aggressively rejecting something. This here is bliss, my favorite song of the entire funk-it series. Thank you!!!

[@th3g3rmb0y]

I concur whole-heartedly!

[@Jesse__H]

Damn. She has such a full, beautiful voice. 😍

[@ralphmunn1685]

At 67 I'm starting to learn to play guitar, and this is my favorite "play-along." Even when I suck, I just can't stop smiling!

[@craigsangster5145]

Awesome! I am 69 and wanting to pick up a 6 string and learn to play

[@ayatsubame]

love everything about this so much... Lemar's snare and easygoing groove, Tim's sparse and punchy lines, Ryan's super tasteful fills and blend, Jack's smooth call-and-response with Ryan, Abby's warm and creamy tone and melisma, Caleb's *crystal* clear mix with the groove in the middle and wide bg soundstage, the perfectly balanced arrangement that trails off with the beautiful dominant... heavenly!

[@ScaryPockets]

dang, thank you lawrence! top notch commenting right there 🙌

[@sniksapap]

One of those songs I just keep on repeat over and over and never tire of it. Those vocals, the groove...keep it coming.

[@BigJambo]

The vocals on this are absurd. Every instrument and part of this really completes it

[@robertlonergan9401]

Presence! What a delivery. She owns it!

[@Odyseuss08]

either the Mastering and Recording is that amazing or Abby improved a lot in the last 2 years. way more precise, fuller and and with perfect intonation. Her best YT performance by far. Also it feels like shes a bit more free, relaxed & happy.

[@jamiehancox]

She's having the best time - sounds great. Pockets do that understated funk SO well....

[@lievais]

I got this stuck in my head for days now, her voice just gives me summer vibes. I hope this summer brings good things.

[@CarlosLopez-vm3hu]

Can’t stop listening !!!!!

[@sskaggs4588]

I really love Abby. Her voice is so unique. My favorite 3 videos I listen to on here are this one and How deep is your love and Somewhere only we know. I wish she had tons more.

[@mannahattamusic]

Straight fuego. Sheesh. Abby's tone and control on the vocal: insane. Tim's note choice and phrasing on the bass : insane. Lemar's pocket and feel on the kit: insane. The beautiful marriage of parts between Ryan and Jack: insane. Production, engineering and mixing: insane. Caleb and Jeremy, y'all legends. I see you BOIS! Please keep the Scary Pockets fam tight, strong and together so you can keep blessing us with all this insanity

[@zeebzeebo]

starfuker

[@bassputz]

The tone of that bass though! (and of course the great groove from Tim Lefebvre!)

[@R355UR3C7]

Got the headphones on and eyes closed. Feels just like I'm in a small jazz club listening to live music. 🥰🥰🥰

[@Odyseuss08]

well - the same just without headphones! :D Thx God for my Monitor Setup and that nice little Monkey Banana 10 inch Sub ;)

[@tommegg8486]

Even better on these Audio Technica headphone, I feel like I was there

[@yhk1883]

Her voice just smoothed out the wrinkled soul of mine completely. Thanks, Scary Pockets!

[@Kmancanada]

I had this playing in the background, and when the vocals started, I literally worded "Who is THAT...!" And got up from my desk to come and see. Beautiful voice and musicality. Awesome.

[@ayatsubame]

as we crawl into 2021, *this* is the performance of the year (2020) for me! Jack and Ryan, seriously, THANK YOU for putting this together... this is the pinnacle of music! It's the perfect blend of old and new... it's got that old vinyl sort of mix with the bass and drums in the middle with the two-part comps panned (not quite hard) left and right, Abby's beautiful overdriven vocals in the B? prechorus part right before the chorus modulates, Lefebvre channeling Jamerson 110%, but that super modern (piccolo?) super high tuned, snappy-ass snare razoring its way down the middle of the mix.... and yet it's as casual-sounding as some random jam that these cats spent 20 minutes on! unbelievable. fan for life

[@petersherman2187]

So smooth! The band, oh my goodness, her voice! Abby, you got a new fan here!

[@speedsalot]

Wholly smokes! This is fantastic!! Lefebvre is outta control! …and what a voice! Wow.

[@VOByRobbins]

insanely smoldering vocal--- Abby kills it every time, OMG!!!! the bassssssss --- hell everything --- soooo goood!!! Thank you for the awesome lockdown music!

[@EliS-rv4db]

That SNARE sound, god!!

[@simitheaudioman]

Big up Caleb Parker, my number 1 engineer inspiration! The SP sonics have come along miles since it first started, buttery smooth with a funky bite. Love the gear lists as well, knowledge is power!

[@yiklongtay6029]

How would one learn to appreciate the sound design? I can't detect any objective differences compared to how the sound was years ago

[@simitheaudioman]

@@yiklongtay6029 It’s mostly about the quality of capture, less bleed, better mics and they seem to have a lot more of a deliberate vision for the post production of each song, creating specific sounds (plus overdubs) depending on the track. They could only go so far with the lofi live room vibe.

[@jas_bataille]

@@yiklongtay6029 Well for a first, this isn't sound design... sound design is creating sounds from scratch for movies and video games mostly, literally all the sounds you hear in a movie or almost are created in post-production, and that is sound design. Sure there is arguably a little bit of sound design here but it really is production/recording/mixing. It sounds much more pro, refined, precise. That doesn't mean it sound objectively better, but hey, no one said objective differences are easy to spot.To be honest tho, Jack was always nothing short of stellar as a producer himself, so that's just icing on the cake here, the production was always on point!

[@dukolody]

Abby is such a great singer!!!! Cannot believe this song

[@mike7357]

I don't think there's a more beautiful girl or more beautiful voice at this moment.

[@waymanharris9430]

Her voice is soooo smooth.

[@thirdson2441]

Lovely arrangement...so good. Tim kills the bass. Love the key change at 3:28.

[@timothyjlefebvre3962]

Thx!!

[@seaglass3034]

I keep coming back to this cover, over and over. Great musicianship, all around. Also, Abby has such a nice voice.

[@rickwill1953]

Yeah Abby!!! So cool that Scary Pockets gets a Rochester talent in there. This band is great and you fit right in. Cheers!

[@johnroche1971]

Scarey Pockets have reached new heights with this one, way nicer than the original! So chilled yet I can stop groovin' in my chair as I listen while I work. Congrats all! 👏

[@andypalmieri2800]

Abby Has an incredible voice that song has such a great groove the musicians are fantastic tasty and smooth the drum part is a killer I love playing to it I must’ve listen to the song 100 times now just an awesome tune all around

[@dracul74]

Really loved it. The switch at 3:24 was lovely.

[@jefframminger1420]

What a groove. Lemar and Tim are tearing it up!!

[@deandiamond5479]

Help, I can't stop listening to this. Or don't help, actually. I'm just fine having this on repeat.

[@blackthorne-rose]

She is So steady... LOVE THIS!!! Never tired of Scary Pockets collabs... amazing... can't wait to come to L.A. and see you ALL in person!!!! Don't go too far! ♥♥♥♥♥

[@kane804]

I keep listening, and each time, I am more impressed by how tight the bass is - and the Pockets never disappoint in that category!

[@Maiko100876]

Abby is a GODDESS! Just WOW! Slow drive in the car , this is magic!

[@christianpitz2720]

This bass man… owns it! Great harmony on everything!

[@HeartOnMySleeve77]

Every bit of this performance is sublime.

[@NotJustAnotherSam]

Sweet and smooth. The singer is kicking it nicely.

[@Le_Mapache]

Such a full sound, well played sound engineer !

[@AgentStofftier]

it's only public since a week but man. I think I listened to this song about 50 times already

[@greyjay9202]

She's got a wonderful voice -- a jazz voice -- and the bassist is right in the groove.

[@oscarcancino1638]

Congratulations to Scary Pockets and Abby Celso. Good Thing you made this beautiful cover. It's much better than the original. Absolutely love it. You guys rock!!!

[@mebmom3]

Abby Celso ? IM ALL IN !!!!! get funky girl ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Janiprox]

Your arrangement is superb and Abby's vocals are golden. IMHO, you have eclipsed the original version

[@spotteddogmemphis]

Holy shit, Tim is so damn funky. He makes it look effortless too. I love his groove.

[@thomasneate1684]

Gorgeous Young Woman! , I'm not mad at that fender Bass either, I would like to play with that guitar. Something about old Bass guitars, Fender make such a beautiful instrument.🎸

[@clebercarvalho9379]

Que lindo!!! Otimo arranjo! E que timbre vocal!!! meu pai eterno.... tudo perfeito. Manda mais papai!!!!

[@simbelabk6784]

I love Scary Pockets !! From Paris (FRANCE)

[@Sandrisph]

Funny thing...the longer I watch, the more beautiful she becomes ! But really this whole thing is done to perfection. BIG shout out to the bass player!

[@mebmom3]

Drums are like BUTTA ! And Tim's on bass what's left to say !!!!!

[@crakkerjakked53548]

Smooth, rich, buttery gold.

[@tooloose937]

This is one is OVERKILL !

[@Yurtletooth]

If you think this is the best scary pockets jam then congrats you get it

[@martidee3305]

I didn’t know the original so I checked it out and this version is far superior and thank you. X

[@stu22aus]

I wish the musicians weren't muzzled as to allow the full humanity of this beautiful perfomance to be preserved.

[@johnnave3650]

So good! Abby is in fine form, and the band is right there with you. I think the un-sung hero might be Caleb Parker here -- that mix is nice! Seems like "more than the sum of it's parts."

[@timothyjlefebvre3962]

Sup john!!! Yeah Caleb is killer

[@SimplicityForGood]

The mind of this girl shines through… she is the most beautiful artist I saw in 2021! I cannot stop singing along when I hear her voice these days! Just celebrated Christmas alone and decided it would be a good thing for me and found this song just so right! Thank you! 😍🥰🙏🏻

[@bifferspice]

actually can't stop listening to this. never heard the original. this is fantastic. what a voice.

[@OlivierSen]

didn't know that Will Ferrel could groove that good with a bass. Amazing cover as always :)

[@tobinharris1973]

those call and answer fills between Tim and Ryan on second verse (1:56) were so fun, almost drew me off the lyric. I understand the modulation. Needed every trick there and y'all did it perfect.

[@WromWrom]

This songs sounds much better without the Autotune (because the original has been AT'd) which Abby for sure doesn't need - contrary to the original. Thanks ScaryPockets for saving this song. 👍👌

[@bernadette7209]

Just how much fun she has performing this song! Love both listen and watching this!

[@octatonicgardenmarcospi4978]

I can't stop! This is sooooooo cool, and her voice!

[@michaelh181]

So thankful for this. Thank you for taking out the f word!! Made it perfect for me.

[@JerryRBS]

This is as smooth and groovy as it gets.. Amazing arrangement and performance by everyone!

[@wadgegrzelak7998]

Abbey Celso omg ❤️

[@TomAdriaensens]

AKG could use this video as an ad. These headphones look awesome, matching jewellery and all. Coincidence? I think not.

[@comments1958]

therese great....rozzi great......danielle..great...abby got it too....love the up down funky jazzy tunes well done guys another great find welcome abby

[@richiep5715]

its one of the most beautiful things ive ever heard

[@n0offence]

This is my favourite scary pockets video

[@SiRushBass]

Hot damn - pass me my thesaurus as I'm all out of superlatives.. This is a grower. Each time I listen to it it sucks me into the groove a little bit more. And that vocal + smile at 3h12... heaven.

[@johnventura1637]

awesome arrangement, and Abby's voice is fantastic!

[@amycollins3431]

Love my Good Thing!!

[@JosephSantangelo]

This is my new favorite song.

[@nimblejack]

she's one of the best

[@thomasungoreit]

I hear Abby Celso, I click "Like"... jeez, her voice is just.... uuuhhhhhhhhh

[@sticknotfire]

Don't know why seeing them all wearing AKG's makes me so happy. That brand! Love it.

[@darrell3643]

Silky smooth!

[@DryRoastedLemon]

Wow, damn. I usually don't really care much for vocals as I prefer instrumental tunes, but her voice is SO good! You're awesome, Abby!

[@Lizzyjaeger]

She definitely has a good thing going with her voice! 🤩 Amazing performance from all!

[@KJFG18]

I listen to this cover every day while I work. It is an excellent musical arrangement. Abby Celso beautiful voice. :)

[@nabil.creates]

I can still see Jack’s face expressions under that mask 😂🔥🔥

[@MarcinRamzes]

I fell in love with that voice.

[@nancychgue1937]

I looove itt!!!

[@christophegarcia4026]

La chanson originale est déjà très belle, mais là... C’est sublime ! Quelle voix ! Quel son ! Bravo

[@shanescott3168]

Great music. Abby has a great smooth voice. Thank you for your efforts.

[@clairewalters9840]

Far out this is goooooooood

[@FrancescoGuardi]

I searched for more videos with this unique singer but I didn't find enough to still my hunger.

[@calkrahn9961]

Such a Good Thing!!!

[@ericquagliozzi]

Hey guys you rock! Good song, superbe voice, incredible bass, all the band!!! I like your incredible work!

[@gingerbreadmun3876]

Just the best 👌 if this is her singing live what a beautiful performer. It's hard to look that graceful while singing live
