Man, crazy how we have such a bangin' punk rock Scott The Woz song just for a blue border that made Scott think "hey that looks kinda neat" all the way in Episode 1, good stuff Garrett
@@erikkroplin6890 I definitely took more from grunge than punk, but Nirvana was (I think pretty clearly) the biggest influence and Nirvana is known for taking a lot from punk rock, so it sort of comes full circle.
I think the outro has officially became a leitmotif for Scott as a character in his videos, seeing as how it always plays when Scott is the focus of the song.
This unironically bangs. Same goes for every other Scott the Woz and Garrett collab. Chase, Joshua and Bennett did amazing job with the guitar and bass work! Same goes for Scott on the drums, wow.
Wtf man?! I went through all that effort of figuring out the lyrics only for you to invalidate it a few hours later--you can go play chibi robo ziplash! I'm joking of course. Kinda. Excellent song.
@@Humblepie_WHAT I hate to tell you this, but the lyrics were in the description the whole time 😂 I just realized a lot of people weren’t looking. Thank you, though! Glad you like
just a guess, but it feels like this song isn't just about the blue border, and it talks about scotts burnout, i.e. "I just want to break the mold / To not follow a path". good job on the lyrics, scott and garret.
@@supercamborg4218 Yeah, I think he's doing fine but I hope if he does get burnt out he stops when he needs to. It seems he's doing fine right now but I reckon he's going to take a bit of a break after Borderline Forever, which is understandable
@@supercamborg4218 Scott doesn't strike me as a man who will keep doing this for the sake of doing it. If he gets burnt out or runs out of things to talk about, I imagine he'd just stop. I don't think he ever set out to make this his livelihood
A genuinely poignant piece about the balance between doing something you love and the fears of falling into a rut where the rest of your life becomes the same repetitive song-and-dance while also blending in his trademark stupid humor. I guess that could describe the whole video, huh?
I absolutely love the logo of "Borderline Forever" because of this very reason and I'm tired of no one talking about it. The whole bit about making videos about video games is perfect for the title because in it Scott says that you could do it until you die, or, in another sense, you can do it "borderline forever". I have absolutely no idea if that was intentional or not and if it is it's almost TOO smart for Scott...almost
Why Don't You Play Them is still my personal favorite, just cuz I like that style of music better. Stupid Nintendo Games also legit just resonated with me, as stupid as that sounds. But Closing In is definitely in my top 3.
Such an amazing Grunge-esque song. Feels like there was a lot of inspiration between Nirvana and the Foo Fighters, and I'm loving it! It's insane how you can go from producing funk songs and Grunge songs on a dime with both sounding great! Keep it up man!
god i love how your musical style evolved from beat demon up to this. its just such a good way to see that i can still distinguish a song is yours when you try out such different styles. youre a massive inspiration for me mate
0:08 fun fact, the "end with a PS3" is a refrence from the fact that Scott's outro song is from a game that is on the PS3. Also the "break the mold" might be a refrence that Scott's outro is called breakout. Also, since scott most likely breathe's while recording the song, and scott always breathe's in his videos since he is a human, that most likely also is a refrence to his videos.
@@joystickthesentientpc7787 the song doesn't go anywhere melodically, doesn't really do anything with either it's lyrics or it's tune, and is all around both boring and grating imo
This is bangin. A sorta Nine Inch Nails(More so industrial) and Nirvana type grunge theme with awesome percussion elements and a tribute to breakout. Scott also genuinely has some lyrical talent. Truly awesome and encapsulates all of Scott's humorous running gags and everything about his videos but with some style. The guitar riffs genuinely had some punch too. This song is Gex.
true, i definitely heard nirvana and nine inch nails influence when this started playing. it's uncanny, but so is gex that's kinda what i like about him.
@@zlanemack1418 i mean, of course he isn't quite as angelic or as aggressive/gritty as other big artists in the business. but whenever i do hear scott singing, i'm actually quite impressed. he does especially well here i think, and his emotional delivery is on point, much like with his dialogue.
The last vocals on *its closing in* really solidified that grittiness of "Yeah this is definetly inspired of the grunge/industrial" type thing, I am surprised this kind of song is in a Scott The Woz episode but its so fucking cool
Borderline Forever was such a good episode. SO much more lore for Scott, this song was a banger, all his main friends show up and help him face their biggest enemy yet, it's just so cool!
This song is so good that I learned how to play most of it right after the episode came out. This is actually top tier, and sounds better than most rock these days.

And Scott can sing incredibly
just a guess, but it feels like this song isn't just about the blue border, and it talks about scotts burnout, i.e. "I just want to break the mold / To not follow a path". good job on the lyrics, scott and garret.
I think it's more him being worried about repetition.
Pretty sure Borderline Forever as a whole was about that. They even joked about the entire episode being an allegory.
I hope that he doesn’t force himself to keep doing this when he doesn’t want to anymore
@@supercamborg4218 Yeah, I think he's doing fine but I hope if he does get burnt out he stops when he needs to. It seems he's doing fine right now but I reckon he's going to take a bit of a break after Borderline Forever, which is understandable

This is a major compliment. Thank you so so much.
I love this song so much, compliments the abstract concept of the story so well. Also I’m a sucker for guitar solos, so of course I loved that part.
It also fits so well with the allegory of the blue border for Scott's burnout and being boxed in by a certain type of content.
@@rosalina-michelledukes-vic2019 I also feel like it was referencing his colorblindness.
@Pizza Dragon that’s actually what I’ve been sorta thinking too, having some phrases reference his color blindness being a restrictive trait.

oh so this is the blue album i keep hearing so much about
I was just listening to this for like the tenth time on the original video lmao
They did NOT have to go this hard
never thought anything remotely related to scott the woz would unironically "go hard" lmfao
literally all of the garrett and Scott collabs
THIS FUCKIN' ROCKS! You and Scott did a great job with this song!
7 months later... never fails!
The best Scott the Woz song yet! It really complements Scott's vocal range. Well done!
0:50 when it gets to “ IM on the border” so perfect 👌👌
I'm 2 years late but the first verse sounding like "Why Don't You Play Them?" until he says he want to break the mold gets me every time
I can't get this song out of my head and I'm not complaining
Thanks!

"I gotta remember this for next time!"
