Katy Perry's version, the original: being young and in love Brian's cover: remembering what it was like to be young and in love. Ouch.

[@pauljohnson271]

Here here. Well said.

[@pauljohnson271]

I keep coming back to what you said here. True. You made a very insightful observation. I read what you wrote a week ago, and it’s been buzzing in my skull since. Thanks.

[@pauljohnson271]

Here here

[@Kas1991ish]

This man can make anything sound profound

[@dmon715]

My wife and I just had our first dance to this song. Absolutely beautiful!! Brian completely kills it. Thanks man!

[@jeffr4100]

Awesome, not many have that special time, God bless

[@rosswalker4461]

Congratulations bud, wish you both the best in life, great choice for your dance ❤

[@bunnyfernwood]

I'll never get over this cover. God damn Brian Fallon

[@MeCuestaEscuchar]

Guys, no need to diss or hate on Katy Perry. She made a song that Brian liked and wanted to cover. Besides, Brian has said many times that he doesn't like it when his fans diss other genres or musicians. Just focus on what you like.

[@nickjohnson7211]

you know she doesnt write her own music.

[@kurtheumiller5647]

Song writing credits can get weird... Here's what Brian Fallon had to say about it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZvGkoesg5Z9qMUm10s

[@kathyjacques2688]

Because he's a nice guy

[@JustinSmith-tr5mp]

ALL HAIL BRIAN! WE MUST DO WHATEVER HE SAYS.

[@GernickKuik]

@@nickjohnson7211 Maybe not entirely but these are the 5 writers of Teenage Dream: Lukasz Gottwald / Benjamin Levin / Martin Max / Bonnie Leigh McKee / Katy Perry

[@melissafauna]

I come back to this video all the time. Whether I'm sad or happy, Brian Fallon singing Teenage Dream Is the motivation I need. I thought I commented on this years ago but alas I did not. Have seen this vid (as well as the whole Troubadour show) many times. Unexpectedly haunting.

[@OfficialSammi]

This man is just perfect I swear.

[@Hallucination]

It's funny sometimes when you hear other artists cover what was originally a fluffy pop song and then you realize that our preconceptions sometimes inhibit our ability to see how good the song writting sometimes is in those fluffy pop songs. Real music fans can acknowledge this. Pretentious music snobs will simply sit back and hate on the original claiming this is what true music sounds like while never acknowledging the fact the song originated elsewhere and without it this version would ever exist. You can see the two types of people in the comment sections.

[@MikeBenfo]

+Hallucination So true.

[@neilchair]

he's said in interviews years back that he does ghostwriting to pay the bills. I have a secret warm theory that the pop songs he covers are ones he wrote :)

[@kardsp7102]

+Neil Salter omg!

[@keithhaas7856]

+Neil Salter unfortunately Brian recently stated in an interview that he didn't write Teenage Dream, I was hoping for that too lol

[@MrSOLRAC333]

Hallucination ...your analogy is spot on but i think a less talented artist would never have brought this song to its full potential

[@aelasin]

I love pretty much everything Brian does

[@derweiler4939]

Einer der besten cover Versionen eines Pop Songs.

[@sandlercruise7102]

The Horrible Crowes is the best thing Brian ever did. How he hasn't revisited this side-project continues to baffle me.

[@tomstoon4782]

What a voice Brian has!!!

[@FabricofTime]

Okay, I actually like this song when Katy Perry does it, but. Wow. This is AMAZING. A friend recommended and I'm in awe. Complete and utter awe. This may have gone from being a "hey, I don't mind this song" song, to a "favorite song ever" song.

[@jamiemills3480]

I love Katy Perry, I think she has a fantastic voice and generally I'm a big fan of her music. But this is just on a whole different level, Brian Fallon brings so much emotion to every song he performs and the arrangement is very clever. His generations answer to Tom Waits.

[@pauljohnson271]

Well put. The Tom Waits reference really landed with me.

[@aprildaniels357]

Wow.. Amazing..!

[@pauljohnson271]

Kinda amazing.

[@patricksullivan7191]

Oh Brian, you did indeed get my heart racing (and foot tapping). Love the cover, wish to God I could've been there then...

[@johnny3308]

everytime i hear this song i want to sing : "stay the same dont ever change, cause id miss you...."

[@mumsy1717]

Mae

[@OMGscrotum]

It's the same chords, key and tempo!

[@pauljohnson271]

Yes. That really landed with me.

[@L1AXYZ]

I'm hearing a little bit of Tom Waits in him. I also found a whole new appreciation of this song. Well done!

[@willshogren1987]

I saw him cover Cold Cold Ground in Atlanta, he's definitely a fan.

[@Joosh1872]

It’s Brian it doesn’t what song it is always Awesome and Goosebumps!

[@stacydavis2603]

How does he DO this?! That song has certainly never sounded beautiful or meaningful to me until now

[@aislesmusic]

Perfection Mr. Fallon... Perfection

[@LovesmyViolet]

I’m obsessed with this song right now. I was born in 1962 👖 ❤️👋🏻 Love this version ☮️✝️💟

[@sharky1304]

If you listen to the lyrics instead of hating on Katy Perry, you might notice, that they are pretty awesome!

[@adamwehrlin3982]

Agreed. This is why Brian covered the song. He thought it was good and his friends wouldn't believe him.

[@wiecek13]

most bizarre cover that works so well

[@johannlall6727]

Why do you think it's bizarre? The song is similar to Brian Fallon's own songs

[@nugenki]

At first I thought this was weird even though TGA is my favorite band, but now I can't stop listening to this. Send Help

[@rbibbe34]

He brings that longing beach town vibe to it of running away and it works so perfect.

[@bobandsteve420]

Why does this make me cry.

[@goreysins]

This hit me hard

[@alexisafox]

Holy shit Brian Fallon makes this seem like a legit ballad. Guess the song itself isn't so passive and mainstream after all.

[@Loopychannel]

Simply brilliant!

[@jackbrokenshire1187]

Brian Fallon can make an song sound amazing such a great voice.

[@Galiuros]

This song was featured on KXCI 91.3 in Tucson

[@markstephenson3670]

Still love it

[@WatchMeFade92]

Awesome.

[@traviscarroll5762]

I legitimately think Brian Fallon ghostwrote this song.

[@UAPbigfootandBOATDRINKS]

Amazing insight. Yes.

[@owenbell307]

Listened to this song multiple times on Spotify and just only now realised it was a Katy Perry song. Just goes to show!

[@haileydrafahl2337]

Just wowwwe its soooo great

[@TheSwedeJay]

This is proof that amazing song writing is great, just because it is or is not played on top 40 radio shouldn't matter. You can always make great songs sell or make a great song rock. Good for you Brian Fallon for playing this the way it should of been from the start

[@pazservin3267]

Only Brian can do this...AWESOME

[@punkBangla101]

now that's some Brian Fallon magic!

[@spencerjordan305]

They should do chasing cars.

[@alexanderdeadmansche]

The lead guitar part in the intro is lovely

[@julee.b]

Tom Waits meets Katy Perry.

[@Jackzay90]

or Bruce Springsteen meets katy perry.

[@jenkennedy4631]

Tom Waits ups Katy Perry and she puts her makeup on, "is that better?" "NO, growl, I said without your makeup on c'mon you wrote it, here hold my hat for a minute, try it like this...." (a baby is born)

[@kristinaphillips9832]

Excellent. New fan

[@lanetteadson3514]

Love ya ace. Lurp

[@thalithachiara9884]

Actually they are the nicest crowes I've ever seen

[@josephstalin7803]

He brings like this insane rock soul to it, fucking nice

[@LuisGustavoCoutinho]

Gênio!

[@heidiburtt-ellis1692]

Good tune good artist

[@kathyjacques2688]

I've heard that he did a cover of Pictures of you but I can't find it. Think he was with the Horrible Crows n it was live

[@cbegay81]

He did. He was singing Ladykiller and it's a quick snippet at the end.

[@TheNewVocal]

Hi from Singapore! I hope you'd have a fantastic day =)

[@TheNerdCinema]

Rick from "The Walking Dead" is really good at keyboards

[@jabs77]

Better than the original by a country mile!!! ❤

[@masta339]

Better than original

[@dr.kingschulz4742]

Brian said once, before playing this song live: You cant keep a good Song down!

[@OfficialRedDirtNurse]

Fucking awesome

[@heidiburtt-ellis1692]

Still luv it go brian

[@HeroBeatsHydra]

how did people not realize this was a cover the first line of the song is 'you think i'm pretty without any makeup on'

[@brd0]

Some of Brians songs are written from a womans perspective, "Here comes my man" is one example.

[@robertorbit4384]

Ben Rejström bro!!! Listen to the words of that song. He's quoting a song. She's finely singing oh sha la la here comes my man"

[@krimzonghost1987]

haha... just listened to that before this. I think i listen to both of those songs at least once a week.

[@TheDraigs]

Lookin good Perk

[@Grit200]

Does anyone know the bass and guitar tabs for this? It is so pretty, they definitely made this song better!

[@GregRoacho]

I didn't even know this was a Katy Perry song. Came on my Gaslight station and searched it on here. Goes to show lyrics work in different genres and isn't as shitty as people think.

[@Ben-dm5fn]

Yes

[@jean-pierreaerts3390]

Brian is magic

[@aspen1713]

I sent this cover to my ex yearsss ago and she was like "Why the fuck did you send me a Katy Perry song?" and I was like "... a what song... just appreciate the beauty of Brian Fallon ; ___; " unfortunately she didn't appreciate it.

[@ryanmoff1]

her loss pal

[@heidiburtt-ellis1692]

Still great !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go brian

[@kevinconnor6035]

He's basically singing the Katy Perry song while the band plays Mae by the Gaslight Anthem.

[@sideonedummy]

Mae-Be! That's an interesting theory!

[@stephenr465]

yeah i like the katy perry song but this....is perfect

[@littlewing62]

sounds like springsteen having a bit of katy perry haha.

[@joshuabritt6623]

i would love to have a bit of katy perry who wouldn't lol

[@zenjon7892]

The downside of this song is that this version gets stuck in your head...then you start humming it...then your friends and coworkers look at you weird for liking Katy Perry

[@L1AXYZ]

Zen Jon I swear I won't look at a guy weird if I heard him humming to this song. I think it's rather cute :)

[@davidwhite5004]

😂

[@sjdjxjxkxjshdkdnzbuw8894]

😍😍😍

[@jamesjenness7942]

Playback speed at 1.25x fucking awesome

[@fartinazoodle]

Only brian fuckin fallon can make a Katy perry song not annoying and Tolerable..

[@nikopappas8484]

Brian makes even the worst lyrics sound like gold.

[@MeCuestaEscuchar]

+Niko Pappas What's wrong with the lyrics though?

[@johannjohnson188]

I know this comment has been written 4 years ago... But I actually don't think that brian would sing this song if he thought the lyrics suck and I'm gonna assume that he is more of an expert on that topic than you are my dear friend. not hating though

[@johnzackarias11]

I was there. Great show, but this would have been way better had they just played the original chord progression. It doesn't need any changing.

[@vronistaszka9963]

Everything he touches turns into gold. He even made this terrible song sound good.

[@jamesgreen6528]

Good songwriting really does transcend genre. Irrespective of how much you may hate Katy Perry; her breasts, and this song rise above it all.

[@maxmaexchen4445]

who is Katy Perry?

[@willshogren1987]

One of the only people on the planet who can pull off a fedora.

[@monkeh86]

Nothing against Katy Perry (I do actually like some of her other songs), but the original version by her is awful. This on the other hand, is pure gold.

[@lanetteadson3514]

May 23...... It's Me scam

[@brians6749]

Panties were flying at the end of the song.

[@BossJnr93]

Katy Perry brought me here

[@adamhughes4387]

Erm....how? I swear I used to hate this song

[@blinkMATIC]

gaslight anthem Mr. Brian, gaslight anthem...

[@PumpActionProphet]

I'd maybe expect a cover song like this from... say... Against Me, but not from Brian Fallon and the Hirrible Crows....

[@zascott21]

convinced he ghostwrites for female pop singers....this....i do not hook up...etc

[@ReturnDivided]

+Zachary Scott He has done. He said it in a Hoppus On Music interview that he used to write pop songs. Part of why the style to Here Comes My Man is how it is (it was written for TGA). He has the background so he can use that style.

[@ryankellar9778]

+ReturnDivided I just remembered that. Nice reference man

[@AdAthefoxangel92]

No

[@srhmusic13]

this.....this is how you polish a turd.

[@wyattrussell8625]

at singing the song

[@abelesser69]

Katie has the way better version. ..This is a completely different song...

[@Coeurlarme]

Why do you feel like Katy has the "better version" (except because "it's different" or "it's the original". I don't think theses are good reason) ?

[@abelesser69]

Simple...because hers sounds better ....I think The Gaslight Anthem are a much better fit for me...I love this guy's music...This version is not better ..end of story...He looks constipated trying to sing it...Like he is in desperate need of Pepto Bismo...You satisfied now? ....

[@davechristian1525]

No irony whatsoever.

[@wyattrussell8625]

in a good way as in hes better than her

[@kentsvihel]

1,178 tone-deaf people.

[@BikesAndBatallas]

Well aren't you just swell, Kent.

[@kurushi857]

No.

[@martinpereyra4793]

Very Horribles..

[@NJDEVIL91923]

It's actual music. You wouldn't understand what music is though being a Katy Perry fan.

[@jenkennedy4631]

ok y'all are just....(insert derogatory remark)...that, that remark over there, wasn't me, but you can fill in the blanks with your own inadequacies...it's music...play it better, then comment negatively..WHAT WHAT!? A challenge, go for it...let me know how it pans out

[@wyattrussell8625]

geez he makes katy perrys song so bad

[@Lbsteves]

His tone doesn't really match the instrumental and the vibe of the song.

[@ryankellar9778]

you're right. It's better

[@loganschwager5744]

Ryan Kellar

[@jenkennedy4631]

no it makes it true to the wording, which is the beauty of it all

[@synthwhiz5462]

Lame

[@jenkennedy4631]

is that your nickname...or taste in music... if you don't like something, you can turn it off, look up there, (gasp)YOU CAN SKIP IT...or rant and rave...your choice...oh wait you made it...my bad, go on with those bad feelings, they'll get you far in life
