"Well I guess this is growing up" In light of turning 28 last week, I thought it would be cool to put my spin on a classic song from my adolescence: Dammit, by Blink 182. Enjoy! JB Socials: @jaybovino
Dude, I am 34 and have been a blink fan since high school, greatest band of all time in my opinion. Normally I do not like blink covers because they're never as good, but you took this song in a completely new direction and made it your own. I was very impressed. You put so much soul into it, it literally cut me to the heart. It made me long for my childhood, it made me think about the fact that I will never be as young and carefree as I once was with Blink 182 always rocking in the background. I would love to hear Mark Hoppus comment on your rendition, I would imagine he would be truly moved.
Saturn Hero nailed it bud good comment I’m 33 and I’m the same very true.this cover sent chills down my spine and had a flood of teen memories cone back,best cover I’ve ever heard to date and probably nothing will ever top it.
i'm 30 and my things was quiet this same like your :D blink 182 was (IMO) very important part of my childhood, but the saddest think I never had chance to see them live ... now i'm not interested see them without Tom.
original song = hypes the crowd this cover = intro makes me feel sad, but then makes me feel like i can conquer the world you made this song your own, repect to you brother 🕊️
Hey Jay, thanks for making this cover. I also grew up on Blink 182, im 30 years old now and this cover made me kinda tear up with happy memories from my childhood. Thanks man. Keep doing your thing, you're fantastic. Love, Aleks from Norway.
Hey Aleks, thanks a lot for your message; it made my day. Glad it brought back happy memories. Crazy to think the song is 20 years old! Thanks again, JB
The guy before me said it right. I'll be 31 in June, and though I've been a Blink fan since I can remember, Dammit has been my life's theme song for the last decade, and even more so over the last two years due to losing my true love and ultimately accepting that I'm never gonna relive the best years of my life. As a pianist myself, I absolutely love renditions of my favorite songs, and you, sir, blew me away with this: I'm not ashamed one bit to admit that tears fell while watching this. 🖤🤘
Man it must have been great growing up on this. Blink had ther breakthrough before I was born and now all I can do is hearing old songs just few peple know about.
Hello mate! I'm 37 now and grew up with both the Dude Ranch and Enema of the State albums. Dammit was pretty much the anthem of my childhood and high school days. For me, this was the best cover of any Blink song, i've ever heard!. Full of emotion right now, thank you so much, this really made my day! Cheers!
I discovered this video a couple of years ago and really liked it. Then suddenly today, so much time later, it's popped up on my mind and I really needed to find it back and listen. Such a deep cover.
Im 45 this yr. Still rockin' out to Blink to this day. Many yrs of 'not growing up' and im never gona stop. Metal, punk, thrash - all of it! Keep it real, be yourself and NEVER change for ANYONE! If someone tries to change you, move away. Theres enough poison in this world; you dont need it in your own life! Growing up doesnt mean "stop having fun" 🤘🏻😜🤘🏻
Great job Jay! Can't tell you enough what a connection this version of this song made with me. You know you've hit it out of the park on a cover if you can make someone appreciate the cover as much as or more than the original. You've done that for me with this song.
being a 32 year old and loving this song when i was 10 back in 95, just have to say this is the best cover ive ever heard and ive heard shit loads over the years for this song well done mate absolute awesome job.cant stop listening to it.takes me back to my good old days growing up :)
Long time Blink fan here, and I just have to say that this cover is absolutely amazing. I checked out your other stuff and am officially a fan. Can't wait to hear more solo projects!
I feel like this song embodies the subconscious feeling of the original song. We felt lost hopeless and alone and we turned to that upbeat careless energy to mask our fears
This song reminds me of my brother and cousin. It makes me happy, yet sad that we are not kids anymore, when we were always together. What a great cover.
Wow man!! This is what I had in mind when I thought someone should do an AWESOMELY DRAMATIC rendition of this song. And then I saw this video and it surpassed what I could imagine! Beautifully done!!!
My stupid ass at 2 am: YO! Dammit is a really sad song if you play it slow. Wow maybe I have something. Let's check if it exist. This guy: already having a perfect version of what i imagined.
Hah this captures all the nostalgic feelings the fans feel now for this song. I am 25 so I was a bit late to the party but I still like this song enough to even cover it myself.
The original one is still a masterpiece for me and i can´t compare, the way you reproduced, it with the original one. It´s like comparing boots with sneaker or VW with Mercedes. Both are shoes, both are cars, but in itself the same. But there is one thing i can say! You did a masterpiece as well and i want to say thank you, for giving me a short moment of pure happienes and joy, while leaning back, closing my eyes and listening to youre interpretation of this song the first time. Thank you and keep going.
Funny. I am not entirely sure when Tom and Mark wrote this they actually understood how "deep" the lyrics could or would end up being after they actually "grew up" lol. Now that I am 32 and all the friends and bandmates I had along with our "Master Plan" have moved on I am left here still plugging on, playing music and sticking to that "Master Plan." Interesting....indeed.
Bullshit that this has less than 100k views after 7 years but the country girl is at almost a mil in 1 year and they’re acting like she’s a genius for being the only one to understand the lyrics and she did that by slowing it down there are no words for this idiocy
Hey jay, I’m the just the same as the rest of the dudes who grew up on Blink 182, this cover brings a different vibe to the song and meaning it’s awesome 👌🏼
