"Guitars/Synth/Programming/Backing Vocals/Produced by/Mixed & Mastered by Taylor Larson" Dude.

[@Xulassu]

yeah, taylor is da baws!

[@Pughhead]

That's just what audio engineers do. They don't just mix the guitars on a track, or just the vocals. They do the WHOLE song! Shocking I know.

[@joshpenrod9560]

dang I woulda liked your comment but can't cuz you have 420 likes and it needs to stay that way

[@Mr.krabz2182]

Its such an orgasmic mix

[@mariomartins6960]

What makes the song is the drummer, guitarist and symphony, beyond that its clustered bullshit

[@Prodbyrykk]

7 years later and I'm still watching this one 🔥🥁

[@itsjustprada]

Same

[@pennybeats4435]

Engineer deserves so much credit... This mix is amazing

[@EstorilEm]

PENNY BEATS seriously this guy should be working on big screen $hit. Just perfect.

[@daleonov]

He's actually working with some big acts

[@FartsTasteDelicious]

Taylor Larson - The king of Prog Rock.🔥

[@bliksemvis]

this stuff is so heavily over produced

[@JackRosei]

It is!!!

[@dannypadilla]

One of my favorite 1975 songs. So amazing.

[@LucasDrums]

This. Is. Amazing. The audio engineer is a genius!

[@laylortarson]

👍🏻

[@RustyNotesTV]

yes he is

[@soulevans9607]

is this going to be on itunes or anything?

[@RustyNotesTV]

I sure fucking hope so

[@antnyneveruploads]

Major major props to that, keep em coming Taylor! by far the best mix/master/production I've heard, from Veil of Maya to Periphery to this

[@matthewpeterson4638]

best cover I've seen on KZbin. what a beautiful reimagination of the song

[@Nowak27]

I want to buy this song!!! Please!!!

[@wafflesack]

YES!!! Please take all my money!

[@TheAlexLamberty]

I agree. Amazing.

[@ash1698]

I definitely agree. Matty Healy seems to always have this incredible spot-on capability of piecing together the right words when it comes to writing lyrics that really grip the heart. That along side the instrumentals that the band wholly create just really establishes the feel & emotion the song produces. & this representation of 'Me', (along with the original version) just gives me those strong chills you get from a song every once in awhile, y'know? I could listen to this forever.

[@ash1698]

Everyone collectively apart of this cover did an outstanding job. Wonderful job guys!!

[@ParadoxUtopia]

That vocal mix on Spencer is heavenly

[@loganwelty7094]

Still jamming this cover. Honestly a classic

[@Guitargod446]

I don't even listen to The 1975 but wow, this is breathtaking.

[@dekl0l]

well maybe you should start if you like this! like, this version is really good, but the original is the best. and they make great music :)

[@Guitargod446]

+Dekky Balboa I've given them a chance before, but I just couldn't get into it, unfortunately. I might go give them another listen after this though.

[@WoeIsJesse]

If you aren't a fan of one of their songs, try another. The vocalist has such crazy variety and is a multi-talented singer and songwriter. You have to be into their "indie" feel, though. That's really a lot of the appeal, although I can honestly say their musicianship never ceases to surprise/amaze me.

Also try smoking beforehand ;)

[@cbeacham12]

I listen to this every single day.

[@drummerAVA]

2:32 to the end is just perfection... nice building slow jam, tasteful instrumentation, then the killer, emotional final chorus. Rivals the original in its own right.

[@benjaminramsey9950]

I would argue Spencer is one of the greatest voices of our generation. Incredible singer

[@loser_x]

// everything related to the 1975 is beautiful //

[@claydarnell9350]

You aint lying ive been diggen them for years now. Came back to this song in 2022 :)

[@joshuafogarty123]

You know when you feel a song? I feel this one. Chills. Absolutely inspirational.

[@joshuafogarty123]

And who does Elijah trey sing for?

[@dvrkstrvnd]

+jfog123 he's just a solo singer

[@sinnr]

Still comes back to this song from time to time. 2023 anyone? 🙌🏻

[@MattBuck777]

March 2024. I’ll never stop coming back for this one .

[@Rico-cp4xp]

I know I'm 7 years late, but Spotify when?😅

[@karlsanders6552]

Right??? Outrageous not having it on spotify. 😒

[@CharlieViking95]

Pure fire. Makes me moist.

[@jrq66]

like a towelette bro

[@dpoohbear]

That is the grossest word ever lol

[@makeez32]

I can see a serious The Japanese House influence behind this, amazing job!

[@mariacassandrataruc2574]

the song gives a deeper meaning and feeling when Matty sings this.

[@mariacassandrataruc2574]

Great cover though!

[@n.ee.h]

I totally agree!

[@moreliasosa8943]

The 1975 would love this 😩❤️❤️

[@tomthefall]

Lyrics: I got a plane in the middle of the night, don't you mind I nearly killed somebody, don't you mind don't you mind I gave you something you can never give back, don't you mind You see my face like a heart attack, don't you mind don't you mind I was late but I arrived I'm sorry but I'd rather be getting high than watching my family die Exaggerate and you and I Oh I think I did something terrible to your body, don't you mind I put your mother through hell, don't you mind I hurt your brother as well, don't you mind don't you mind Oh I was thinking about killing myself, don't you mind I love you, don't you mind don't you mind I put your mother through hell, don't you mind I hurt your brother as well, don't you mind don't you mind Oh I was thinking bout killing myself, don't you mind I love you, don't you mind don't you mind

[@TheDoomCore]

2023. We still need this masterpiece in Spotify, please! Thank you!

[@DanniJordan24]

This song is such a vibe, and anyone who is able to recreate it like this, takes some serious production. 🙌

[@streetfast234]

Wish this could be on Spotify, Itunes or something like that! I truly enjoy this cover, fantastic work by every person involved :)

[@meepmeepimajeep]

This is absolutely amazing. Insane production values, looks and sound astonishingly high quality and one bad ass cover guys!!!! BTW. the way Spencer and Elijah's voices mix and vocalize together just adds to the awesomeness.

[@marcusm9033]

Just discovered this awesome group this year. Unlike anyone out there in the music world. You guys blow everyone away. Take some time off to rest and relax. Please don’t burnout. You have so much more to do. Happy Christmas guys.

[@vomitoriumbassist]

Spencer Sotelo, crushing yet another song.. Love you man! Cannot wait for Periphery 3, later this month!

[@Kellyjellycones78]

Best cover of The 1975 "Me" ive ever heard! You guys might like to try "sex" also by THE 1975 or Woman, or Robbers! But brilliantly done. I've listened to that track hundreds of times and know all the little nuances in it, great musicians to capture the depth of vocal tone and atmospherics of the track. Loved it and I'm sure THE 1975 would be proud of such integrity in your cover of that track.

[@catarinaperes7508]

I'm a massive The 1975 fan and I don't usually like covers of them, but wow.. This is just amazing. Really amazing guys, congrats

[@alcionefrancioli5432]

From: Myself To: Myself Relating this much to a song never hurt so bad

[@justinhall7379]

One of the most beautiful covers I've ever heard. Phenomenal job.

[@coybennett6062]

Need this on apple music. Best cover of all time

[@HaTeFuLxSiN]

I guess when Luke can't wear a beanie, he wears a turtleneck to compensate for the fabric.

[@philippagliarulo1853]

I've watched this video probably 100 times in the last year. It's disgusting how freaking good it is... So so much more than just a drum cover. The whole this is re-imagined so well.

[@BkWDrums]

So sick. Everything you post never fails to impress me great job

[@spectrum1com]

I'm coming back APRIL 2020! And cant believe this doesn't have a million views still

[@viktorforsblom7798]

Now this is amazing

[@CottonInDerTube]

amgayzing imo

[@solodark5646]

I'm gazing too, so sexy.

[@hahasandwiches]

+Trance Dragoon they're both amazing in their own way.

[@friendswithbenedicts4869]

Viktor Forsblom the vocals are what complete this song, no offense to luke, hes an amazing drummer. But he has better videos that show his talent

[@DorkBurger]

Still one of the hardest hitting covers I've ever heard

[@RomeoLacoste]

awesome job guys!

[@JohnDoeDeMondo]

I come back and watch this video VERY often. If I had to pick a single favorite video on KZbin, this is absolutely it.

[@BrettBDrums]

This is completely badass! Kudos to everyone involved!

[@anthonyrobertson3543]

I'm a huge the 1975 fan, this song means so much to me, you killed it man

[@protestmyhero5613]

YES SPENCER!!

[@Obsidianhealer]

The passion coming from all of the musicians is strong i could feel it

[@carbutty]

The instrumental is phenomenal. The vocals are good, but I don't think anybody but Matty could smash this song.

[@mariacassandrataruc2574]

yaass.no cover can ever beat the 1975's songs

[@tommyweir1825]

yeah me too Matty's voice though

[@irenemamalaki3366]

amen

[@shaneelwood314]

Sadly disagree,spencer has one of the best voices in music right now,periphery kicks so much ass!

[@Aconn1997]

+Shane Elwood agree

[@jdmcarboy64]

Listened to this over and over the night my dad passed away. I can’t help but tear up still 3 years later.

[@EstorilEm]

Absolutely unreal - one of the most epic videos I've come across on KZbin - period. Your production, sound design/engineering and video crews are all absolutely first-rate, I wouldn't change a thing except perhaps add myself to the tech crew haha. Just awesome.

[@cazz3000]

Nicely done, boys, practically reduced me to tears. Unbelievable work, and a very unexpected choice of song...

[@jaydeeb3235]

Oh my jesus bloody hell flipping nora my goodness... this is brilliant!

[@zoiberg1212]

I've been in love with that song since the first time I heard it

[@ashwinj64]

3:28 Love that Hi-Hat thing he does!! Mad Cover!!

[@davidverna7767]

Yeahhh!!!!

[@69Crystalr]

This was fantastic. I am a huge The 1975 fan, and you did this song great justice.

[@michellegbruce]

APPLAUSE! You caught the feelings intended in this song !

[@Birdseed99]

I love everything about this. 1975 will forever be one of my favorite bands and im so in love with them

[@myminoxbeard3089]

got proper goosebumps watching this!!

[@jasonmcbane6431]

i like the diversity you are adding to your channel. from this to animals as leaders, its all golden.

[@rgordon4848]

I agree, a true musician can play any type of genre

[@imanouelperez4114]

This cover is one of the best cover i ve ever heard in my whole life .... makes you feel all the feelings at the same time ... just. indescriptible ..... All the lyrics take a powerful meaning which carry your mind in a different world of imagination/hope/sadness/compassion ... i don t know how to explain it Just a big thank s you to you guys you rock.

[@nathanhunt9105]

Is that Spencer Sotelo of Periphery? Edit: Yes. Interesting.

[@ZephyrusBlue]

Nathan Hunt he’s actually done a lot of different stuff! Look into his retrowave/synthwave group called Nik Mystery!

[@jayhawk14100]

Damn right it is!!! He’s beast!

[@JohnDoeDeMondo]

@@ZephyrusBlueNik Mystery is so good!!

[@KatexxHollywood]

This hands down is the best "Me" cover I've seen on this entire website, gave me chills just like the original!

[@FatalOnion]

Wow this is truly beautiful!

[@humantorch961]

How does this not have a few millions by now...

[@DEADN8]

I think if something ever happened to Matt Halpern, Luke would take his place in Periphery

[@BrightLifeVideos]

this is the only cover of a the 1975 song i regularly come back to, that says a lot.

[@JeisyhLynx]

Cantam e tocam muito bem, parabéns!

[@s1l3ntopus]

From day 1 to now, the best cover of this song! The riffs and drums and their voices are smashing awesomeness!!

[@gwemula]

Why isn’t this version on Spotify?!?!!

[@cocktails_with_jim]

I still love this track and come by often.

[@RG6Snipers]

When you see Beats being in used in a studio...

[@Mp5Drummer]

Spencer has said time and again that they work for monitoring because they're loud and they isolate well. This wasn't mixed on them.

[@jefferjacobs]

+Conor Burridge They need to be loud when you wear them outside of a beanie. Haha.

[@requiemschism]

When you think what the singer hears affects how the final mix turns out...

[@IAMCJ1]

I highly doubt any of the footage we see was actually recorded during tracking. It's just easier and less messy that way.

[@wildhorse4262]

end of the day, that's just people trying to get likes and look cool. argue all you want, no real musician it's using Beats fur any purpose whatsoever in the studio.

[@nem6952]

I've never been clickbaited so hard by any youtube thumbnail. It's Spencer. I'm in. And what a thing it is to experience omfg

[@JSEP1991]

Where can I buy/download this?

[@jbenny81]

I love The 1975, but I honestly don’t think it could ever stop listening to this version. IMO, one of the most beautiful songs ever made

[@CodyMeddaugh]

Think we could get this on spotify?

[@thatonekidxo]

I come back so often to listen to this rendition. So beautiful 😭

[@TheSummerCoast]

Will this be available in like itunes/ sportify?

[@CurtisKlope]

I come back and listen to this so frequently...

[@johnmarkyt7744]

please a download link! i love it

[@vegardbakken]

Agreed! Spotify or something else?

[@mariacassandrataruc2574]

copy the link. go to youtubemp3.org.paste.convert.download.disseminate. enjoy

[@johnmarkyt7744]

yes but i'd like to have a 320kbps high quality version :)

[@joshuamendones6508]

ujiss.com maybe lol. jk

[@dekkerondrums]

this. this gives me chills every time i watch it. nice job guys, wow

[@JDegennaroTX]

Also, it's "I hurt your brother as well" not "hate"

[@Forest_V19]

Everything about this is incredible. Spencer’s vocals are a good fit a good fit. The drums aren’t too in your face like a lot of covers are. The keys are spot on. And the mix is fantastic!

[@deathbastardable]

Yo can I buy this track anywhere?

[@Zavi1313]

I want this song on my phone, can I buy it somewhere?

[@TeerapatFMonpaneevong]

Agreed!

[@TSFLYER4]

KZbin to mp3 man. Then just put it into your phone when you plug it into your computer.

[@Zavi1313]

+TSFLYER4 Nah man, I want to support my fav artists

[@TSFLYER4]

Zavi13 I'm not sure if they have this up for order. I know that the album Luke is working on with Jason is up for pre-order if you want that.

[@Supmikecheck]

Best cover i've ever heard in my life. breathtaking.

[@jasonhamm7174]

It would be better if the lyrics were correct

[@mariacassandrataruc2574]

+Jason Hamm yeap and if Matty sung it

[@allcartuner]

Lol Luke looks like Sinead O'Connor

[@rhdband]

Absolutely gorgeous...

[@TheBiggles654]

Whose this Elijah dude

[@YourFaceisStuck]

Chills. Every time.

[@WolfyBoO]

So much hate for a great cover. If you can't feel the song, don't hate on it. move along boysss gachiGasm

[@maxferro7146]

Wish this was on spotify so I could add it to my playlist. So Good!!

[@faith7827]

no offense to the vocals, but i would love this much more as an instrumental

[@mariewalsh8561]

i totally agree with you

[@dreyermylord]

I totally agree with you

[@michaellong7631]

I totally agree with you

[@jacobdrums4386]

+Faith Chong yeah i wouldnt mind both

[@xborcx]

I totally disagree with you

[@joeyswafford302]

Wow, I cant stop coming back here to this cover. Gives me the feels everytime. Thanks Luke for making good music. Ill keep passing it on to people.

[@BadSodaProductions]

im goonna be that guy tabs??

[@ZolFox]

BadSodaProductions I cover it on guitar and I tabbed out a few parts in my comments section for someone who asked. I do every part at some point including the solo although I probably don’t play it exactly like Larson does. But I hit all the right notes. Anyway, here kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWW2n4Fnashnp8U

[@vilsenbarahonasolano8134]

I was looking for the original song and I found this... 5 years later, love it!

[@TheFolkUtopia]

There are covers and then there are new owners of a song.

[@reaIGarfield]

i think you're implying this it's better than the original and i would say i disagree

[@TheFolkUtopia]

They exist in a consistent manner! After time contemplating on both, my opinion remains the same. I enjoy the layer of two voices in this song better and a subtle but deeper bluesy quality to it. Although, I have the original in a daily playlist as well. As covers go-it's a rare gem.

[@inesedo4213]

TheFolkUtopia WHAT THE FUCK someone kill me please. they are not owner of this song the1975 are the only one owner to this. This song is sooooo personnel to matty that is even disrespectful to cover it. and then you are saying this. god help me now. please don't say something like this again.

[@TheFolkUtopia]

Where, oh, where foreout there Trolleo? Wherever could you be?

[@TitenMakesMusic]

Yikes dude calm down. Its just his opinion. I'm a big Spencer Sotelo and Luke Holland fan so I love this cover a little more since I heard it before I heard the original

[@erickibarra8596]

We want this on spotify, please

[@ibanezbassist7653]

Am i the only one that think's the one singer on the right side of the screen actually kind of look's like spencer from Periphery

[@St3yn012]

Because he is (:

[@HectorButNotZeroni]

Ibanezbassist7 Video descriptions are very useful haha

[@TheBanderson22]

Lol I pray for sarcasm in these moments.

[@andromeda6463]

Ibanezbassist7 and his vocal tone and mannerisms are so similar...

[@DannyEye2704]

I’ve loved this song since I first heard it in 2013 and I fell in love with The 1975. This cover is the best I ever heard of any cover

[@mattyosea9773]

How can people say this is better than the original? Or that the original is boring? The emotion Matty puts into every lyric makes this version look like shit.

[@drewmulcahy3676]

Wholeheartedly agree with this

[@mariacassandrataruc2574]

could not agree more

[@mariacassandrataruc2574]

+Lukas Willaert instrumentals were awesome. vocals...yea nah. If this cover was sung by Matty...im dead

[@mariacassandrataruc2574]

+Lukas Willaert i understand. anyhow, it's Matty...have a great day c:

[@JaySirius]

You seem to be talking too often about Back To The Future then ;D

[@alexisbrea9391]

This is one of my favorite 1975 songs and you covered this beautifully
