🏩 The Background ~ Third Eye Blind Cover

I suck at guitar and I’m poor and my singing is too quiet and and I didn’t brush my hair so.. Best with headphones lol
Lyrics:
Verse 1
Everything is quiet
Since you're not around
And I live in the numbness now
In the background
I do the things we did before
I walk Haight Street to the store
And they say, "Where's that crazy girl?"
You don't get drunk on red wine and fight no more
I don't see you anymore since the hospital
[Chorus]
The plans I make still have you in them
'Cause you come swimming into view
And I'm hanging on your words
Like I always used to do
The words they use so lightly
I only feel for you
I only know because I carry you around
In the background
I'm in the background
Verse 2
Words, they come and memories all repeat
I lift your head while they change the hospital sheets
And I would never lie to you no
I would never lie to you no
I felt you long after we were through, we were through
[Chorus]
The plans I make still have you in them
'Cause you come swimming into view
And I'm hanging on your words
Like I always used to do
The words they use so lightly
I only feel for you
I only know because I carry you around
In the background
[Guitar]
[Bridge]
'Cause I felt you long after we were through
[Chorus]
Well, you come swimming into view
And I'm hanging on your words
Like I always used to do
The words they use so lightly
I only feel to you
I only know because
I'm way, I'm way in the background
I'm in the background

How's It Going to Be!

[@currentlysimulating]

This is one of the best covers I’ve ever heard

[@28starwarsfan]

Such a wonderful, underrated song. Don't beat yourself up so much in the description. You're doing fine.

[@noahluster7917]

Someone else commented that this is like a mirror of the same song from the girl’s perspective, and I agree. The song takes on a whole new meaning in your version, thank you for sharing ☺️ really beautiful cover

[@paulg83]

not a frequent youtube commenter but had to say this is great, you're super talented!

[@alexjennings2209]

A lovely voice you got there!

[@aCertainJadeOfGreen]

Your voice just blew my phone speakers, broke the internet, and shattered my heart 🖤🖤🖤 It made me think mazzy star covered 3eb, but better. This is ridiculous, i hope you realize how great your voice is, lol seriously

[@marksantos1622]

Wow great cover, never thought a girl would cover this song. Great guitars too!!! Keep up good covers!!!

[@dylanstaddan6983]

this is such an incredibly well written song. always manages to put me into a melancholic mood, reminiscing over feelings for exs. great cover though, I loved it. you should do more 3eb, you nailed both of the covers you did.

[@galvinatrix1984]

really good! i got chills! forgot how sadly beautiful this song is.

[@the2fetters]

You have a gift, thank you for sharing. It’s very moving. 🫶

[@jonathanbarrera7564]

I listen to this song everyday now. You have no idea how much this song means to me and how the way you play it reminds me of a time where I was once in loved. I live in the Numbest in the background

[@ramennoodleking]

idk how this ended up in my feed but I listened with zero expectations and left with a love of the way you use your voice. keep it up!

[@keenanslittlesister4604]

Thank you so much 🤍 my singing and playing has changed a lot over the years but I love that people still discover and enjoy this upload!

[@ramennoodleking]

@@keenanslittlesister4604 No problem! I checked out some of your most recent stuff. Glad you keep playing! I find myself losing inspiration to write music at times, so as long as you are inspired keep writing

[@RonaldReaganRocks1]

This is amazing. Great job!!!

[@GoldenWave]

[@zacharycolln]

I'm very late, but this is one my favorite Third Eye Blind songs and this was a very nice performance

[@domeden]

I like to think this is the girl who The Background is about recording her own version to sing back to Stephan...

[@donaldtrumpfan8393]

beautiful cover, my favourite tune ever

[@droolberry420]

thank you for bringing this into the universe. 😍💞✨

[@MsYouANDREATube]

Girl I dig your style and your voice! I was hoping that you could share the different cords with me. This is my favorite song and I’d love to be able to play this jam. If you got a sec. Thank you

[@keenanslittlesister4604]

Thanks so much dude, means so much! I linked the KZbin tutorial I used to learn it, down in the description box. I don’t know the actual chords I just followed his video c:

I love this song and have listened to many covered and all I can say about yours is WOW! Such a beautiful voice

[@iPlayWithFireYT]

This was almost 2 years ago so you're probably much better playing your guitar. It wasn't bad everybody starts somewhere, and your voice is great. Don't stop you have a gift!

[@keenanslittlesister4604]

🥺🥺♥️♥️

[@micahclawrence]

Where’s your 3eb cover dickhead?

@micahclawrence It was a compliment even she acknowledged that! Also before you comment or watch a video, read the description of the video or you'll end up looking stupid.

[@iPlayWithFireYT]

This song remind me of a time where I was lost in space with the love of my life. It been nearly two years since she left. I’m still waiting for her in the background. Sometimes love hurt and sometimes love heals

Where did you learn to play it on guitar? Having a hard time finding a tutorial

[@keenanslittlesister4604]

D.j. Shipley the link is in my bio at the very bottom. I kind of butcher it and play it super slow in this video cuz it was a lot to take in as a beginner but now it’s actually fairly easy. That tutorial saved my life haha

[@emilyrand6549]

What are the chords you used for the verse and chorus ?

[@keenanslittlesister4604]

Hey there! It’s an open tuning and I’m not exactly sure what the chords are, but in the description I pasted the link to the video tutorial I learned this from. Be sure to tell him I sent y’a :)
