NateWantsToBattle: Let Me Try [OFFICIAL VIDEO] Steven Universe Song 

I love this song when it first came out and now when I rewatch it more than 7 years later and I’m still shocked the developers never discovered this song and said “we should integrate this song in the show somehow”

That's it if I ever get to make an animated show Nate you're voicing a character and doing the soundtrack.

omg guys. Nathan and the Nathans!!!!

"But now we've come so far. I know just who we are." These words resonate more after the finale.

This was an incredible thing to wake up to.

This hits different after the finale of Future. When it was first written, I'm sure it was meant to be from Steven's perspective, to the Crystal Gems. But now...it's from their perspective, to Steven.

Now I'm imagining Steven grows up to be Nate...

"I know you never asked to be made" hits me every time:(

guys...I think I figured it out... we've been trying to decide who Steven would be singing the to if he sang ot, which character, probably a crystal gem, it would be. but we've been asking the wrong question. it's not a single character. the first verse is to Garner, the gem who's strength is nearly unbeatable. the Second verse is to pearl, the Gem Knight, defender of Rose Quartz. the refrain is to Amethyst, The unwilling warrior, the one who "never asked to be made." and the last chorus repeat...that's to the Crystal gems. The family of warriors, the defenders of Earth. Steven's family, teachers, and friends.

People keep saying this is a song between Steve and Connie, or simply a song from Steven to Connie, but to be honest, some lines don't really fit in. "I know you never asked to be made!", I don't know, just don't see it... I feel like, personally, this song is from Steven to the other gems. Because it relates very much to everything he's done for them. When they're sad, he talks to them, when they feel useless, he helps them get better. He fights for them and protects them when he can. That's pretty much what this song is about. That's just what I got out of it anyway. c:

If they made a Steven Universe movie, I could imagine this being the credits song! This is AMAZING!

Completely forgot about this song Glad I rediscovered it It truly is A *gem* ✨

8 years now and this is still one of my all time favorites :)

He needs to voice a gem or a fusion in the show And this song must be in the show

so story of the video: Nate sees a spider and kills it. He thinks he did a good job and sings about it. but he feels sorry for the spider so he looks back at the dead body of the spider. RIP the unknown spider.

REBECCA SUGAR PLEASE USE THIS TALENT FOR THE SHOW PLEASE

Nate through the video: 0:10 "Oh my god a spider!" 2:47 "OH SHIT IT'S ALIVE" 3:15 "welp....uh...i feel kinda bad now..."

I think he made this song as to seem Steven is singing it to each of these characters: Part 1 - Garnet Part 2 - Pearl Bridge - Amethyst Pre-Chorus & Chorus - Connie They should totally add this song to the show!

I finally found this after so long- Nate, I know you'll probably won't see this but I'm gonna say it anyways; I've been a fan since at least 2013 and you've come so far, you're so so talented and don't let anyone convince you otherwise.

Someone needs to make an AMV out of this. NOW!

Steven Universe the anime opening. Coming soon. I wish...

This should be played in the final episode of the show!

And he's done it again ladies and gentlemen. Another amazing song!

You know, if I didn't know about Steven universe, this would sound like a epic rock love song.

Oh! It's LITERALLY about Steven Universe! That's cool!

Could you do I Burn from RWBY. It's from the yellow (Yang) trailer? The I Burn with Lamar Hall so you can include either Shuetube or someone else you want.

because of this song, I now feel like singing this in the class this randomly plays through the songs I listen to. if that doesn't make sense, then this should. BECAUSE OF THIS SONG, I FEEL LIKE, WHEN I HEAR IT AT SCHOOL, SINGING IT IN THE CLASSROOM THAT I HEAR IT IN :D

When he says And i won't let you down at 2:27 it's so soothing and beautiful :o

7 years later and this song is still amazing lol. Edit: 7 Months later, still awesome lol.

Hey Nate! Have you ever thought about writing any more SU songs? Just curious because this song is just an absolute masterpiece in my opinion.

Anyone else still loving this 3 years later in 2016?❤️❤️

"we shine brighter than any gem between us n the sun" me: *thinks* poor rubies lol...

This Is just so................... BEAUTIFUL!! *chefs kiss* perfect!

It's amazing... This song came out before Steven and Amethyst fused, but everything about it just seems like Steven's singing to Amethyst about being Smoky Quartz.

Am I the only one who had a tear in my eye?

Everybody says this is either a song from Steven to Connie or from Steven to the Crystal Gems. I don't see it that way. To me, for whatever reason, this feels much more like a song from Steven to _Garnet_ specifically. That is, the Stronger than You reference, the fact that Steven seems to be closest to Garnet out of the three central Crystal Gems (He and Amethyst are tight, but I still think Garnet is closer) and that Garnet is their leader, the one who has final say over whether he gets to "try." On top of that, if this song was alluding to a fusion, this might explain why Steven's not getting the chance he wants so desperately; he wants to fuse with Garnet, and she knows how much of a _nightmare_ that can be for the unprepared. Either that, or her future vision is telling her that if he does indeed help them, he will _die._ Steven knows that, but he still wants to help them. This whole song is him trying to convince them to let him try, his safety be damned. Seems reasonable.

Steven’s kid: Tell me about your childhood. Steven: Oh? Sure! Well....it’s a wild story that....huh? Steven’s kid: (Holds a guitar) You gotta do it right! ☺️ Steven: (Takes it and Smirks) Ok Fine....lucky for you, your dad is the son of a rock legend. (Plays this song, remembering his younger years with the Gems)

Jasper: YOU CAN'T FIX EVERYTHING BY SINGING! Steven: I know I can't. But he can. Nate: (Dramatical enters and starts to sing this song)

honestly we all had a crush on him

I came here because Nate said in FNaF The Musical Night 3 "I HADN'T CAUGHT UP IN STEVEN UNIVERSE!".

Wouldn't it be awesome if he did a Steven Universe album?

His hair at the end though, FABULOUS DARLING, JUST FABULOUS~!

2:46 i’m obsessed with the spin he does it just looks so energetic and happy

Nate's to do list: steven universe meets rock; mission according

This takes me back to when I was in middle school God all the memories

Somebody please send this to Rebecca Sugar! This would be a amazing song to be in the show.

Amazing song Nate, always a fan of your work and Steven Universe :)

This dude needs like a whole concert. He's like all the members of Fall Out Boy merged together. Damn. A legend.

This absolutely MUST be in a future Steven Universe episode.

Anyone still listening to this music 5 year later?

not me vibing to this song while im supposed to be cleaning 😭

I've never watched Steven universe but your covers and songs make me want to check it out

please more su songs. you are amazing and this was amazing.

Someone said it before but Nate really looks like a fusion of Jamie and Steven

It never occurred to me that fan made songs for Steven Universe exist

I think this should be a duet with steven and connie

I was in love with this song when I heard it for the first time, ever. And years passed until today, this song is still the best. You never disappoint me, Nathan. Kudos! 💎

If SU was an anime, this would be the opening.

This shit bring back so many memories, back when this song came out this was the song I listened to riding the bus to school imagining me in a world where I had powers can could do shit like steven, My friend and I was going through my playlist and found this song and wow so many memories come back making me want to cry remembering when I was going though so much and using this song as a way to feel better

Favorite Steve Universe fan song from Natewantstobattle

at 0:10 he saw a spider on the floor

I remember listening to this when I was still on like season 1. This song fits so well with the show, that I could literally picture Steven singing this and I thought that it actually was a part of the show and that this was cover.

This song is so nostalgic

Hey Nate. #NiceShirt

Nate kind of looks like a teenage Steven in this! It matches so well!

now you need to write a verses for Lapis and Peridot

Sang this to my depressed Girlfriend, though I did have to change a few lyrics

This was the first song I'd ever heard by Nate, and it's still one of my favorites, years later

Best thing to come from this franchise

I love Nate's hair here

singing this at my schools talent show!! to my love and hopefully I dont flub a note. damn this song is hard to sing!

You make the absolute best fan music

To this day still my favorite song of Nate’s. Nothing in the world will top this. I just wished this was a part of the show. Seriously I hope Nate’s proud of this one

WOW!!!! 5 OUT OF 5 STARS!!!

I don't know if I listened to this before, because I don't remember. BIt popped up on my recommended and I'm happy it did. I love this song alot and seeing this after watching the movie and Steven Universe Future, it fits perfectly into their "Universe", and I could imagine this being something Steven actually sings within the shows/movie

This needs to be sung by all the gems during the battle of yellow diamond

this is a great ROCK song! ill go home now

90% of his music gets me feeling good

Sang this to my goddaughter to put her to sleep when she was a newborn♥️🥰 thank you Nate

omfg the nostalgia holy shit

1:24 My Favorite Part.

The only way this could be better is if Nate made a Gravity Falls song. *Hint Hint*

I don't watch steven universe, but for the past 2 weeks I've been listening to this all the time on spoitify! I really love your original work Nate!

The nostalgia after seeing the finale hits hard 😭

omfg i dont even know Steven universe but that song like wow okay nate calm down that was kinda too epic (reminded me of the "sign" naruto opening cover you did recently)

Am I the only one to come back to this song for nostalgic purposes?

You and I, we both know well I couldn't do this by myself And every day it's all the same You picked me up when down I fell But I'm still standing through and through I know exactly what to do I'll give it everything I got Although I'm not stronger than you But I'll be your shield I can be your lion I'll dry your eyes if I see you cryin' Believe in me And I won't let you down But now we've come so far I know just who we are And we shine brighter than any gem Between us and the sun Now it's just you and me Like it was meant to be And I'll protect you I'll defend you If you let me try We'll stay together now and forever Just let me try You and I yeah we both know We couldn't do this on our own You say you're fighting for my mother But won't see how much I've grown But I can't believe everything that I'm told I'll fight until the end while I'm young and when I'm old But now we've come so far I know just who we are And we shine brighter than any gem Between us and the sun But now we've come so far I know just who we are And we shine brighter than any gem Between us and the sun Now it's just you and me Like it was meant to be And I'll protect you I'll defend you If you let me try We'll stay together now and forever Just let me try Stay with me Fight with me Victory's abound Now we've got this You can't stop us And I won't let you down I know you never asked to be made But I'll be your shield I can be your lion I'll dry your eyes if I see you cryin' Believe in me And I won't let you down But now we've come so far I know just who we are And we shine brighter than any gem Between us and the sun Now it's just you and me Like it was meant to be And I'll protect you I'll defend you If you let me try We'll stay together now and forever Just let me try

wait..i listen all Steven´s songs, and i never listean that xD or is your own song? ´cause is AMAZING !

Needless to say.. this song is a gem.

Nate I just want to say thank you, this song has let me discover the wonder that is Steven universe and it helped me with all the anxiety and depression in my life, keep doing awesome things like this

I'm not much of a Steven Universe Fan, but this song was great to listen to.

Even four years later this will forever be one of my favourite songs from you

That was AMAZING!!!

Okay, season 5 finale put me through emotional hell for a bit. Now, no spoilers, people have been speculating that there'll be a time skip for the next season, and if that happens I want Steven to sing this. I want him to sing this next season, so so much.

This could be awesome as the song before the fusion of Steven and Alexandrite (all the crystal gems) when they fight Yellow Diamond (or some other big end boss)

This song is packed full of references to Steven Universe one of if not the best shows I've ever seen

If it wasn't for my girlfriend I wouldn't know about this amazing song. She sent this to me on snapchat and by the end of me listening to it for the first time I was smiling my head off with tears going down my face. I love her so much! 😊

Why does this sound like something that could be used for a fanmade opening theme for like... any show? Nate you are really amazing. XD

just remembered this song for the fist time in nearly 6 years. i listened to this so much in early highschool

God damn his voice would be magical in Steven Universe!
