JESUS KNOCKS ON YOUR HEART AND LONGS FOR YOU TO ANSWER! HE DOESN'T WANT TO SEE ANYONE PERISH INTO HELL. GOD LOVES YOU SO HE GIVES YOU FREE WILL AND A CHOICE TO ACCEPT HIM OR REJECT HIM. TO LOVE HIM OR TO LOVE SIN/THIS WORLD. CALL UPON JESUS & ASK HIM TO FORGIVE YOUR SINS! SURRENDER YOUR WILL & YOUR LIFE TO HIM AND HE WILL GIVE YOU ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN! PICTURE YOUR BEST DAY ON EARTH TIMES A BILLION FOR ETERNITY, THAT'S HEAVEN! NOW PICTURE YOUR WORST DAY ON EARTH TIMES A BILLION FOR ETERNITY, THAT'S HELL! HE WILL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT SO IF YOU REJECT HIM YOU WILL BE SEPARATED FROM HIM & HIS BLESSINGS (LOVE, PEACE, JOY, HOPE, REST, ETC). IN HELL YOU WILL BE ALONE WITHOUT GOD OR PEOPLE, YOU WILL BE HOPELESS, YOU WILL BE IN DESPAIR & AGONY FOREVER! GOD'S STANDARD FOR HEAVEN IS PERFECTION AND ONLY JESUS (THE SON OF GOD/GOD IN THE FLESH) LIVED THAT PERFECT LIFE! HE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE & TOOK THE WRATH OF THE FATHER ON THE CROSS FOR YOUR SINS! GOD IS JUST SO HE MUST PUNISH SIN & HE IS HOLY SO NO SIN CAN ENTER HIS KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. IF YOU ARE IN CHRIST ON JUDGEMENT DAY GOD WILL SEE YOU AS HIS PERFECT SON (SINLESS SINCE YOUR SINS ARE COVERED BY JESUS' OFFERING). YOU CAN ALSO CHOOSE TO REJECT JESUS' GIFT/SACRIFICE & PAY FOR YOUR OWN SIN WITH DEATH (HELL) BUT THAT SEEMS PRETTY FOOLISH! GOD SEES & HEARS EVERYTHING YOU HAVE SAID & DONE. YOU WONT WIN AN ARGUMENT ON JUDGEMENT DAY & YOU CANT DEFEND ANY OF YOUR SINS TO HIM. WE'RE ALL GUILTY WITHOUT ACCEPTING JESUS' SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS! MUHAMMAD DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, BUDDHA DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, NO PASTOR/PRIEST/MARY OR SAINT DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO IDOLS OR FALSE GODS DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO ACTOR OR CELEBRITY DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO ATHLETE OR POLITICIAN DIED FOR YOUR SINS! JESUS CHRIST ALONE DIED FOR YOUR SINS & WAS RESURRECTED FROM THE GRAVE! HE IS ALIVE & COMING BACK VERY SOON (THESE ARE END TIMES) WITH JUDGEMENT! PREPARE YOURSELVES, TURN FROM SIN & RUN TO JESUS! IT'S NOT ABOUT RELIGION, TITHING, CHURCH... IT STARTS WITH ASKING HIM TO FORGIVE YOUR SINS & INVITING HIM INTO YOUR HEART/LIFE, SURRENDER ALL TO HIM! IT'S ABOUT A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR CREATOR. HE KNOWS YOUR PAIN & TROUBLES, TALK TO HIM LIKE A BEST FRIEND! ASK HIM TO REVEAL HIMSELF TO YOU & HELP YOU TO BELIEVE IF YOU DOUBT! DON'T WAIT TO CRY OUT! NO ONE IS PROMISED TOMORROW! HE LONGS FOR YOU TO INVITE HIM IN, HE LOVES YOU MORE THAN ANY PERSON EVER COULD, HE CREATED YOU! Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."-John 14:6 "But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven."-Matthew 10:33 “For the wages of sin is death (hell), but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord”-Romans 6:23

keep in mind that a lot of that is the result of very intentional marketing pushed by large corporations and the government in order to pain a specific picture of an ideal way of life to the public. A lot of it was catered towards privileged white couples and families in order to keep people from educating themselves on greater social injustices. Not to say that there weren't good people around, but this saccharine "bright and fun" feeling that you get is very intentional and hides a more sinister reality. Just keep that in mind and enjoy the romantic dreamy ideals accordingly.

Okay but Imagine this song being sang like this in a musical where the main girl works at a diner and her ex walks in with his new girlfriend. She sees them walk in and sit at a booth and she walks back into the kitchen but looks through the open kitchen window to see them laughing. This is when the song starts to play, she then goes into her own little world where she flaunts around the diner singing this song dancing around her ex and his new girlfriend. Then during the bridge, it becomes a single spotlight with her slow dancing with her ex then she suddenly pushes him away just to finish up the song and in the end it flashes back to her staring at them through the window. I feel like that's how it would play out😅

It's extremely successful: the video looks good and it sounds wonderfully period - the whole thing from vocals to arrangement and even the choice of dresses. It's really quite an achievement to do this so well that it's hard to believe the song ever had another manifestation. Some of the PMJ productions are really very inspired.

In an ironic twist this version is so upbeat and fun and sounds like the girl singing is over the past relationship she had but thinks fondly of it, unlike the original, which is teen sadness and angst and jealousy of the new girl.

To hear and see Allison Young is to fall in love with her, as an artist and performer, with an amazing talent and such a compelling vintage style. Perfection! I would love to see more of her engaging, infectious smile, as in some of her 'older' videos. In many of them from the past 6 months or so, it's been conspicuous in its absence, which is sad. If it's a stylistic choice, like an affectation of 'seriousness', it's a less-than-effective one. I hope she's OK. She has that special kind of smile (with a twinkle in her eye like she's sharing an inside joke) that can give people hope and good feelings, gifts that are very much needed these days. Plus, she just seems like a genuinely nice person. Love her!

[@ThePrinceOfXing]

Love the choreographed moves for this video and Allison just completely nails the little looks she gives in her performance, just adds so much personality to the already amazing singing.

[@greyzonee8242]

we need songs like this to uplift us during these troubled times.

[@oversizedmoon]

Showed this to my grandma and i asked her did she ever heard this song before and she said she never heard this but if she ever heard this before she would love it, she even wondering why this song isn't a hit back then until i told her the truth about this song. she still love it tho, even sometimes we sing it when we are cooking together.

[@midiaz1319]

This was really like 60's nice. Allison Young sang this beautifully.

[@andreamanalo1543]

The singers, the choreography, and the fluffy and pretty dresses are just perfect🌼🌼🌼

[@Ella_Mariella]

That's soo amazing it sounds even better than the original

[@Memorh19]

Absolutely.

[@krisnadarma8284]

[@dasquenga]

Can we just talk about the vibes it gives I'm in love with this song definitely putting this in my playlist ♡♡♡♡♡♡

[@walneyx]

My God!!! Where was I until now?! I'm hypnotized, I can't stop watching these videos! The best versions I've ever heard! My favorite playlist is with these songs! I'm showing this work to all my friends! I'm from Brazil, and I'm fascinated by the channel! Congratulations from the Brazilian fan!

[@laylaswisher4505]

I agree! When i discovered them years ago, i couldn't get enough. Then i forget about them and find them again. It's always a true delight every time! Plus they're coming to my little town on my birthday!

[@EpoRose1]

@layla Me too! I actually saw them twice in concert then life got weird and busy, and now I’m watching again.

[@mayalivni3382]

This is so aesthetically pleasing

[@anusuri3088]

THE VOCALSS. They were amazing.

[@hhale]

Excellent performance, nailed the genre. Just about perfect!

[@OrionisPi]

Allison throws in just the right amount of sass & sarcasm for the song.

[@skooterbrah]

Alison Young always nails it! No disrespect to the band and backup singers. They were absolutely on point!

[@miyachrissalenepalisoc7598]

Happier is a nice song, shows and brings so much emotion from me. But to be honest, I try to avoid hearing it. Because I feel hurt after, I feel pain. Like it makes me feel pity to myself thinking of my past when actually my current situation doesn’t really call for an emotion like that. But this version makes me feel like “yeah i was hurt, but i have moved on, and i wish you happy but no so happy like the way you were with me coz I’m unique baby!”

[@nikoszacharakis2490]

What a perfect performance! It's not just the voices but also all the expressions, the movements, everything so well timed and harmonious

[@kannouuz]

Omg... OMG!!!! How come I just came across this channel???!!! Covering pop songs in a vintage style????!!! Oh my God, I never knew I needed this concept before you handed it out to me. THANK YOU SO MUCH I'M CRYING

[@princessham]

IKR ME TOO😭😭😭

[@adrinemarieadonis2062]

this makes me think that no one was depressed in the 60s 'coz the sad songs sound like something that we should play during celebrations.

[@ellahustwitt8025]

Oh, they were very depressed. There were so many wars, assassinations, protests, and riots happening that they needed something to cheer them up (hence the drugs and free sex of the Hippies)

[@sw4mpwat3r]

girl…JIM CROW WAS A THING???

[@tictac3198]

Are you kidding me? :D

[@adrinemarieadonis2062]

Why are you triggered? I'm just basing my comment on the song. I know that history's not all rainbows and butterflies. My point is that this music makes you forget all that depressing feeling (even for just a minute) because even sad music sounds like a celebratory song. My God. Improve your reading comprehension first before you criticize everything. 🙂

[@KarolinaLewczukk]

This is actually so good! I love it! Totally different vibe than the original song, but that's why it makes it really interesting! Good job!

[@emr5rmt]

I am 100% NOT a fan of the original. But this is great. Like all PMJ, let's be honest.

[@Thatrandomguyhere]

I remember seeing this group years ago. I completely forgot about them until I found this. Thank you for all the childhood memories!!

[@christopherkarlsson4919]

The stagepresence and showmanship is just incredible from every single person on the set

[@amo862]

Are you kidding me!! How are you all so talented to make a cover better than the original! The vibes are unmatched and the video is flawless. From beginning to end I had goosebumps! I can't get over it. Great job!!!

[@lanceortega1]

Allison has such a fresh, happy, Young voice! Great for such songs 😍

[@love4hirano]

their voice are amazing!! the band in the background is amazing!! they look amazing!! literally everything about this is amazing!!!

[@Meandtherhythm_]

Its giving the vibes of “it’s my party,I’ll cry if I want to” Loveee itttt❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@arcadius2569]

I love how you can catch these little bubbles in time, and make something so simple yet grand from them! This one's gonna be playing all day.

[@TriNguyen-xi8ji]

I love Allison so much. Hope she will appear in more PMJ videos in the future.

[@oliviagonzales8528]

This is definitely getting me "My Boyfriend's Back" by The Angels. Such a 60s sound for sure!

[@justlola417]

I'd listen to a whole cd of covers by this 60's style girl group

[@jaz0424]

The lighting set up is great! Gives off the old school vibe

[@thomascussans9844]

Do you suppose Allison realises just how much talent, charm and delight burst from her? She is staggeringly good. Pitch perfect, elfin-like beautiful, with a face of limitless charm. Plus, a supreme performer. An actress of astonishing and unforced originality. She moves so beautifully, her eyes express so much, her smile dazzles. And then the voice. I think Gulp! is about the best I can manage faced with a girl of such overwhelming wonder. At the same time, hats off to Scott Bradlee. He is creating something genuinely memorable. One very smart guy.

[@user-sj6ih6hi2c]

i love the way that the singer didn’t outshine the others! even the musicians and back up behind her are also shine and noticable, salute!

[@starsandsuch7778]

One of my favorite Olivia Rodrigo songs sung by my favorite cover artist! This is a dream!!! 💛☀️

[@ThePseudoDionysius]

This is Allison! It's been amazing watching her grow. I'm amazed by her gestures as she sings. So fluid and so well matched to the music. PMJ is a great vehicle for a young lady that's into nostalgia. Thanks to all, particularly Scott, for making this available.
