my title was too long which is why there r no spaces :( if anyone has a solution let me know please

it is 5:18am as i write this, and i am writing this before the video is even ready, one half is exporting now, and i’ll edit the rest for another couple hours from here. i’m writing this early because i’m excited, man, i know this isn’t one of the bangers or the combinations that people have been clamoring for, but it’s the one i came up with, and it’s the one that i’ve been dreading making for the past few weeks because i was afraid it wouldn’t be good or iconic or anything new or innovative. but i don’t know, for the time it took me to make this, [in a dead sprint, sustaining momentum in these final hours, ripping at my lungs for air, etc], i think it is a nice little return to my roots. :) and i hope you agree.

also just a reminder that this track and two individual demos (of both songs respectively) are available on bandcamp, today, august fourth, for bandcamp friday, when all proceeds of track purchases go to the artist without (most) fees . i don’t know if it’s clear but my microphone stand broke halfway through making this video , so truly and honestly, if a couple people enjoy this and throw a couple pennies my way over there, i would really appreciate it :( i love you. happy bandcamp friday

(for folks in the live chat, hey, i hope you’re doing well and i’m happy to see you! i just wanted to let you know in advance that i’m going to start being a little more triggerhappy with the timeout or remove-comment features and i don’t want you to think i am upset or that i hate you or anything if it happens. i just ask that when i request that something stops in the chat, even if it’s something silly like puns on my name, please heed so i don’t have to click buttons . i know that we’re friends and stuff but because we’re friends you should know, i get uncomfortable about unexpected and silly things . im only human)

okay im going to get back to editing this video now. getting down to the wire here i can hardly breathe! love you . see you soon!

    hey everyone, thank you so much for your kind comments and your continued presence here with me even as i lose my grip on consistent posting. the link below has 3 different versions of this track in HQ for free download, but if you could drop a dollar for even just one of the tracks, it would really help me a lot. i love you, it’s embarrassing to ask, but let me know if three covers out of one mashup is something you like and would enjoy again ❤️❤️❤️ bandcamp link: clemturner.bandcamp.com/album/come-a-little-closer…

    " i was afraid it wouldn’t be good or iconic or anything new or innovative" my guy. with every project one does you are doing 1 of 2 things. you are either pushing your knowledge further to accomplish something, or using previously obtained knowledge to make something you can see in your mind. the fact that this exists at all is a huge testament to how beautiful the world can be. and by the way, this is fantastically good. definitely going on my phone with literally every other piece of music i have found from you.
  • @cali-fornia
    that ‘time flies’ got me levitating what in the world this is so good
  • @notc0mmonpeopl3
    every time clem uploads a new cover i feel as though something great has been added to the universe. needless to say i really liked this one
  • @jasioneveil
    the layering on this was just absolutely insane and that build??? yes absolutely, literally so good 🫶🏾🫶🏾
  • @user-hb6fk4op5c
    WONDERFUL. I DON’T HAVE THE WORDS. CLEM STRIKES US WITH A BANGER ONCE AGAIN, AND HE SEEMS TO BE INCAPABLE OF NOT MAKING ABSOLUTELY SENSATIONAL MUSIC
  • @circo_
    I've unfortunately run out of energy to leave those big comments now (hey thank you, retail!), but you did great. This is an unexpected yet welcome cover and I greatly enjoy it
  • @electronicspork
    WHAT IF YOU WERE RIGHT THE FIRST TIME IS ONE OF MY FAV ARCTIC MONKEYS SONGS AND I ALSO REALLY LOVE CAGE THE ELEPHANT AND I PRACTICALLY SCREAMED WHEN I SAW THIS. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING
  • the visuals, the subtitles, the mixing, the VOCALS- i cant stress how much every video clem has made DELIVERS in mood, intensity, and emotion WUUUAAAAA i love i love i love (frog is beautiful)
  • @sungrrr9264
    you are so unbelievably talented i cant believe you are a real person😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏
  • @emiascrowson4603
    Singing with your videos as I transition (ftm) and my voice drops, i can only pray to have your range. You inspire me so much, man
  • @jayjayspooks
    to be honest, i think clem has one of the best voices out there - its so soothing and calm but also has a kick to it :O its so cool! one of my favorite artists goes at it again with another banger
  • @v1ntagecassette
    your voice is so CRISP. i'm always so impressed by the runs and the sustained notes and the harmonies and the everything else. you are the ceo of exploding my brain with your vocals
  • @jedilizard5915
    You are one of the couple of channels that I will hit like on the video before it even starts playing because I know I"m never disappointed in the content. As always a joy to listen to, your voice is mesmerizing. Thank you for blessing us =)
  • @kd-exe
    "my nail color is black sharpie" LMFAOOO
  • @Jaspanda_P
    I AM ALWAYS PREPARED TO SEE YOUR WORK CLEM!!! :D your voice is absolutely heavenly
  • @TAEVSBLVE
    Your visuals are always eye-catching, and I think the way you’ve arranged the multiple camera feeds in this video is my favourite yet! You sound great and the inflections of emotion are the perfect touch. Thank you for introducing us to Frog the Cat as well!
  • @Meows44
    Dude i for real just woke up, saw this, and proceeded to punch and kick around my room for thirty seconds. I’m so happy and excited about this!!!! You’re awesome Clem!!!!!<333
  • @th3o150
    honestly you could just stand there singing a single note for five minutes and i'd love it, send it too all my friends, play it on repeat, etc. amazing as always mate!
