I just realized: This song might not be about Steven remembering his mom's feelings, but actually him just relating to her. Season 1? The Gems didn't want to take him anywhere, having more important places to be. The Crystal Gems, all 3 of them, were his Diamonds in a way.
That's the point of the song, yes. It's him saying that his feelings are so familiar because he's realizing that he's in the exact same position that his mother was.
Yup! "That's why it's so familiar." "But this time I've had some practice with helping a struggling family!" It's really sweet to see him truly relate to his mother on a deeply personal level that wasn't just told or narrated to him; he discovered it for himself.
If you think about it, in Season 1 Garnet was cold and distant (White), Pearl was overprotective (Blue), and Amethyst was... well, she hides it, but she gets mad at Steven for not caring about himself sometimes (Yellow)
@@insertnamehere5193 see i agree with them being his diamonds but i have to disagree with garnet being cold. distant i get she was like that to everyone but she seemed to be the only one who actually cared about him instead of just caring about their insecurities (amethyst) or that he was rose/ pink diamond (pearl)
Lyrics: Familiar, why is this so familiar? Familiar, like something I used to know Familiar, staring up at the ceiling Familiar, I swear that I know this feeling Where everybody wants me to be mom Want's me to be mom (want's me to be mom) And everything I do, I do it wrong I do it wrong I sway them with a joke, or with a song Or with a song And maybe that’ll help us get along … Familiar, why is this so familiar? Familiar, like something I used to do Something I used to do Familiar, she used to throw a tantrum Insisting that hey, I’m a diamond too Hey, I’m a diamond too … I bet she drove them crazy all the time Crazy all the time They love her but they’re leaving her behind With more important places they should be Places they should be Than hanging out with someone just like me … Familiar, that’s why it’s so familiar That’s why it’s so familiar Familiar, like someone I'm used to be Like someone I'm used to be Familiar, but this time I’ve had some practice I’ve had some practice At helping a struggling family A struggling family … Ooh, I’ll get them all together in one place And once we’re all together face to face I’ll show them all the error of their ways And stop their spread of terror across space

Omg it just popped and... Wow. Your voice and chorus, I love your older Steven voice dude, keep going you're amazing and I love your SU covers, and your shiny eyes when you sing 💖
I wondered why that vocalist for your harmonic vocals sounded so FAMILIAR lol Excellent job as always, Caleb~ Can't wait to see what else you have in store for the future! :) Take care of yourself!
I just want to say how I cried when I listened to all your Prince of Egypt covers, especially *"Through Heavens Eyes"* and *"Deliver us"* xD Thank you, Caleb, for marking these amazing covers haha They are truly special :')
I only discovered this song about five minutes ago. Then I stumble on your video despite being subscribed an hour later. I never got the notification yet, I still found this video before it hits 10K. You're bloody magical.
I was literally just thinking that I was hoping to see some more Steven Universe covers from you soon! I know it's a short one, but I know you would do an excellent rendition of Change Your Mind, you have such a beautiful voice, and I know you'll capture the emotion very well. Love you, Caleb!
This has always been my favorite SU songs and it was so sweet seeing Steven connect to and relate to his mom in her old room. It felt like he finally understood her and who she was as a person after being such a mysterious figure for so long. It makes me wish even more that the story just stopped when the show ended. This beautiful song and moment seemed to be ruined by the movie and SUF making Steven suddenly despise his mom and treat her like evil incarnate.
I think you really do nail the character of steven in every song you do. There are so many covers and so many different takes on the songs, but you honestly seem to be *the* person who expresses what steven is.
im going to explain this song to you guys Okay so in season 1 The gems didn't want to take steven on missions but still would drop everything to spend time with him The diamonds did everything for steven cause they dropped everything just cause They found out he's pink.
I could be wrong, but from what I can hear you sound like a baritone. You sound amazing though and it gives me hope that I"ll eventually learn how to properly use my voice and be able to use all of my vocal registers, including mix voice. Your mix voice sounds AMAZING as well in the plenty of other covers I've watched/listened to.
