NEW MERCH: www.copes.shop/collections/dev-lemons STREAM "WHY DID I LAUGH ANYWAY" BY DEV LEMONS ffm.to/whydidilaugh QJ COUNTRY WIDE WORLD TOUR: ffm.live/queefjerky

shoutout that one guy asking for this song on every video

It sounds like an actual singer lost the budget for a percussion section and ran into the nearest fourth grade band classroom and put the music in front of them, while one kid flatlined in the background

The audacity of the person who tagged that "subtle bass"

The patient is stable

I kept actually covering my mouth in horror with each new instrument

this not Somebody That I Used to Know, this is Somebody That I Never Got To Meet.

i just stumbled upon this channel for the first time with zero context of who this is. the complete confidence in recording and mixing followed instantly by the dumbfounded shame in relistening to the horror she’s created is making me cry laughing

I've been worrying about AI replacing artists, but this gave me hope for the future!

Bro the hospital bed beeping sound throughout the song is KILLING me 😭💀

This sounds medieval and futuristic at the same time

This is strangely unironically beautiful, a very avant-garde combination of grunge rock and bardcore

4:03 “let’s have a subtle bass”

2:47 "i wanna pick a sound that will blend" * hospital heart rate monitor noises*

how did she manage to take all the worst instruments

there's a timeline where this is the song you occasionally hear at the grocery store

yo I'm literally crying right now. IDK what part of youtube i stumbled into but this shit is wild

it’s actually shocking how off the instrumental was 😭

This feels like if u were a medieval court jester and u smoked dabs for the first time

What did I stumble upon? It feels like I walked into someplace I wasnt supposed to be and witnessed a crime but I couldnt look away...

This is actually the best one you've done. It's bad in the most unsettling, creepy way and the vox contrasts perfect. I really want a fully mastered version of this to spotify

this is exactly what an anxiety attack at the bus sounds like

Hospital core

The vocals in this song actually went crazy apart from the instrumental being torture. Mask off flutes were special

genuinely you could put this instrumental in some murder circus horror movie and it would scare the shit out of me

I'm gonna tell my kids this is Nine Inch Nails

they finally got their wish

14:38 sounds so good but its literally inconceivable how she got that trying to replicate the og song

i wasn't playing attention to the intro and it took me embarrassingly long to figure out she couldn't hear anything she was doing. i thought this girl was insane. tbh . i still do but i get the point now. iv e watched several of these videos btw

this sounds like someone from the medieval era stuck in a coma with a heart monitor in the background

the way you lower the volume of certain tracks out of sheer horror has me dying 😭

I go study abroad for 1 semester and all the sudden there's a full eclipse, the northern lights, and a queef jerky tour in America

adding flute melody that's a ripoff/homage of "mask off" was a really bold but necessary choice. thank you Dev Limes

Somebody That I Used To Know (Steampunk grunge 2015 edgelord hottopic version)

The vocals are unreasonably good for what the rest of the song sounds like

it was so bad and so good at the same time like the vocals were fire

I just realized why I like it so much. It sounds like a Dorian Electra track.

Ok now it’s my turn for my video wish to come true… DO FERGALICIOUS!!

I think this really captures the spirit of the original song in that I feel like I've been tortured by the time it's over.

NOT THE BREAKCORE PRECHORUS

Somebody That I Used To Know (100 Gecs Version)

Gotye if he killed his ex

why this sound like a countdown to a nuclear apocalypse

this is an evil version of the song

I'm really not joking, I LOVE THE VOCALS ON THIS

You should make an entirely new song from scratch without hearing it and release that as a song

This is the antithesis of ear candy

Love the hotdog water sideplot

This girl has the cutest adhd mannerisms I’ve ever seen

my favorite part of these is having the whole song sound so bad but then having that one moment that sounds so angelic and beautiful that it makes you want to cry

To the person who kept requesting: are you happy with what you’ve unleashed upon the world?

this one physically exhausted me so much that my sleep schedule might actually be fixed thank you dev keep it up

I am ITCHING for a "Just Can't Get Enough" by Depeche Mode cover. Finally, your amazing talent in choosing the most cooked synth in the entire library can play in your favour.

it's like if Linkin Park did a cover of Somebody That I used to Know, but instead of Linkin Park, it's a bad Linkin Park cover band

This song is absolutely bonkers. Its weirdly emotional and evocative?? Idk I kinda love it

the mic peaking to the mental breakdown on facebook market place 😂😂😂

12:58 🗣🗣"WE'RE FORGETTING SOMEBODY THAT WE USE TO KNOW WITH THIS ONE!!!" 😤😭😭😭😭🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯

I swear you have this ability to produce some unsettling shit... This feels like an anxiety attack getting worse and worse 😭🤚🏻

Somebody That I Used to Know (Haunted Version)

Okay so it sounds really bad at first, like just awful like an alarm clock going off in the background and it's so bad. But like, by the time we get to the second chorus, it becomes something beautiful, somehow all the dissonances combine with the basic chord progression to be like, i don't know, a dramatic crescendo in a movie where the hero loses everything and becomes a monster

My ears now have Arthritis. Absolute banger.

your songs always make me wonder if I am in a coma and the heart monitor from the hospital making it through has finally confirmed it ♥

thats a medieval metal hit girl

this is the sound you hear when you're dying at the hospital next to the beep machine

Why do the drums lowkey go so hard with the guitar and the beeps

happy to be able to witness the creation of the first "hyper rock" song, way to go Dev !

I absolutely love these videos, one of the best series on RU-vid

This can easily be the vanguard of a new musical movement. It has something about it, it's like a car crash you can't stop looking, I truly love it, plz make more

As soon as the song started, I burst out literally sobbing I was laughing so hard. Genuinely can’t remember the last time I laughed so hard. Thank you, Dev! 😂

14:38 i swear dev needs to release all this amazingly ethereal parts they make on accident... im also looking at you hotline bling...

I think you've done your biggest monstrosity yet

Alternative title: "Somebody That I Wish I'd Never Met" 😅

This song is literally the song Sharkboy sung to the blond boy in the movie bro

I love that the flute loop is just the melody from mask off

The person who kept requesting it can finally find peace

AND THE CROWD GOES HOME🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥

thank you so much ♥️ I've never felt actively hunted for sport before

Subject: HEY Hey Dev, I'm just checking in with you to let you know that new song of yours hit that tingly dingly little spot. All the best, Rachel.

me nodding when dev said no to the 'riff' and then falling to my knees when she chose the xylophone 'trill'

I'm fascinated by the B plot of this video

By far the hardest I have laughed at one of these. Each second was an experience. As soon as I heard that heavy drumbeat I knew it was all comin together. Honestly the vocals and drum fills have the energy.

The way she hates it and describes as horrible but i like it... like alt-hyperpop-indie vibes? i am L I V I N G upd: that medieval flute??? yes??

Kimbra is def the best part of the song you're so real for that

Honestly if I was the director of a horror movie this would be the main song of it I love this monstruosity so much

this is what deathgrips sounds like to a taylor swift listener

The mask off flute lmao

14:54 this really does sound awesome

This shit ended up hurting, I was genuinely thrashing in laughter.

Dev turned the song into industrial rock 💀💀

We are witnessing a historic moment.

That was beautiful. Everything I could’ve wished for and more. 11:16 This is my favorite part of each vid. When Dev just starts vibing out and fully embracing the madness that she’s created lol 🤣

I don't remember which circle of hell this is but I think I'll stay. And im also sending this to my brother

“I want a pet so it can grow, yeah, I don’t want a bird, I want a crow uh huh” 💀💀🔥

7:12 🎵"Now and then, I think of all the times you screwed me over...🎵 *soft giggle* :) "

I actually really really love the part at the end where you adjusted it a bit to see the potential without the crazy parts, I think that could be a fun bit to add in in the future, at least if the song ends up sounding kinda rotten (this was a masterpiece though)

there are tears. in my eyes

this sounds like someone was like "lets make a song but we can only use things sound in a hospital"

This is a complete abomination. 10/10

I must be broken coz I've been straight GROOVIN' on this. You also actually nailed the scream before the mic started clipping.

vocals during the chorus went hard af
