This is the first cover i've found where the men singing it weren't trying to hit avril's pitch. This is exactly what I was looking for.

[@DER_stobbel]

The Bass sounds very good

Damn. Truly amazed at how good a dudes voice sounds with this song.

[@motormusique]

I love this cover💖💖✨

[@jessicafreitas8716]

Chill out, what ya yellin' for? Lay back, it's all been done before And if, you could only let it be, you will see I like you the way you are When we're driving in your car And you're talking to me one on one, but you become Somebody else 'Round everyone else You're watching your back Like you can't relax You try to be cool You look like a fool to me Tell me Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated? I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else Gets me frustrated Life's like this, you And you fall, and you crawl, and you break And you take what you get, and you turn it into Honesty and promise me I'm never gonna find you faking No, no, no You come over unannounced Dressed up like you're somethin' else Where you are and where it's at you see You're making me Laugh out when you strike your pose Take off all your preppy clothes You know you're not fooling anyone When you become Somebody else 'Round everyone else You're watching your back Like you can't relax You try to be cool You look like a fool to me Tell me Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated? I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else Gets me frustrated Life's like this, you

[@bandygreen2456]

This was good. They need to release this as a single!

[@brunoviana1211]

Thanks for this 😍❤️👏🏻

[@2billionseconds494]

IMHO needs a bit more punch, but appreciate this acoustic cover. Def Complicated works as country. This cover is underrated and should have way more views. Wanna follow these guys and their career. Looks like an amazing band.

[@AtTwelve34]

avril was a huge fan of shania twain and i think its easy to hear that influence in this song particularly

[@fortune_17]

Emang dasarnya lagu ini bagus, dicover pun pasti bagus juga. Dulu pas kecil buka MTV selalu aja muncul lagu Complicated.

[@AuraOfLoveSubs]

Put this on apple and Spotify music please!

[@bilqismutiarasari7035]

That song is so touching

[@cbcmusic]

And translates surprisingly well to a country interpretation!

[@bilqismutiarasari7035]

@@cbcmusic sorry I don't understand 😅, can you say it in another sentences

[@iGotIceInMyRice]

@@bilqismutiarasari7035 basically they said that it sounds well in country form.

[@brandoncasey7124]

Awesome job boys! Great choice on the song too👊🏼👌🏼

[@KBAFourthtime]

Very good boys. My first hearing of a male cover of the pristine song... all else I'd heard of a male version was Weird Al Yankovic's parody "A Complicated Song."

[@VORTEKMusic]

omg beautiful version! i'd love the chords for the guitar, somebody skilled enought to get them by ear? capo 4th fret, this far i am :D dont seem to be the standard chords from avrils version

[@adrianp2904]

Don’t know if you‘re still searching for the chords after two years but I figured I‘ll answer anyway since I tried figuring them out and thought maybe somebody else wants to play along. If anybody else has more accurate chords - just comment: Capo is on 4th fret. Starting with „Chill out whatcha yellin for…“ the chord progression is G‚ Em, C and D. Small adjustment: For most of the parts the chords are not played in the usual way the B and E strings are pressed down on the third fret for all chords. So G looks like 320033, C is 032033, Em is 022033 and i feel like D varies between 200233, 000233 and sometimes the normal 000232. „Somebody else round everyone else…“ Switches to C ‚Em, C, D in the same Style as above. And the chorus starting with „why‘d you have to go and…“ is Em, C, G, D - most of the time played in the normal way. Small variation at the end of the chorus: after „and you take what you get and you turn it into“ „honesty and promise me…“ has a Am chord and the chorus then ends on C and G. Have fun playing it!

[@VORTEKMusic]

@@adrianp2904 thanks but i already got it - but might be helpful for others. quick addition to your chords, at the end of the hook where it goes "honesty and promise me...." there is s switch up tp Am (002210) into C (032033). i found it sounding better to play the Am as a normal Am and not like the "country" verysion with B and E string stuck at 3rd fret, but feel free to try out

[@Basdi3]

I think we can all agree that as man it's better to stick with our deep voice instead of trying so hard to push high

I can't believe this song was meant to be country all along. Classic example of a song being mis-genred at birth, happens all the time.

Voices are horrible

[@BiimaPoetra98]

Don't be rude! They're country, and it's good

Take hours of time to learn the song and how to do vocal focus and make time for everyone in a band to make a cover then try to make a cover YOURSELF.. :)
