Being someone who struggles with sleep myself i find your songs so soothing when i cant sleep at night. It is amazing how you can make a horrible thing so beautiful.Thank you for getting me through my sleepless nights!
Lyrics (help me out if something’s wrong): In the ground we bury The seeds of a pear tree All the things we carry Now we’re down to our bear feet May I have this dance, to make it up to you Can I say something crazy, I love you Give me one more chance, to make it up to you Let me spin and excite you We are bound to inherit the sins of our parents And all the people we’ve passed through Now we’re down to the last two May I have this dance, to make it up to you Can I say something crazy, I love you Give me both your hands, to make it up to you Let me spin and excite you You’ve got, your mothers eyes You’ve got, your grandmothers ring You’ve got your daddies discernment Girl you did your thing Oh, one two, one two, always on beat You must’ve been born with two right feet Oh, one two, one two, always on beat You must’ve been born with two right feet I love you more than your mother More than you love yourself May I have this dance Can I say something crazy, I love you Give me one more chance Let me spin and excite you May I have this dance, to make it up to you Can I say something crazy, I love you Give me one more chance, to make it up to you Let me spin and excite you Let me spin and excite you Let me spin and excite you
SgtB0YR13 Because he has a cover like a swamp. So you can't truly know him. So you can't see the water underneath that is only stagnant. While being filled with life at the same time, and never being appreciated as you can never see it through the thick layer of algae floating on it's surface. A swamp that is misunderstood as it gives to life but is not thanked for this.
".. what are the words" why is this the Biggest Mood?? but also!! this was rly good & i don't think it's as sloppy as u think it is, but either way! u get a 10/10 from me, & i give u the best of luck towards working out those bad days
your arrangement skills make me jealous, ollie. the way you hear the harmonic dissonances and your use of extended harmonies, it's just gorgeous xx luv u, bye
this guy do know good music oh by the way, i feel ahhahahahaah i fEeL bAd so sad screen high five because you bring joy to a lot of people (including myself) and deserve the best feelings a person can have.
You're such a sad little peanut but you create such beautiful sounds. Those of us who know what you're feeling really do appreciate your lovely and gloomy music. You're fantastic.
Hey, Ollie I’m in a rough situation right now, and hearing you helps a lot. I’ve just been really sad lately. And I miss someone so damn much, and I’m struggling without him
I've been struggling a lot lately, realizing I'm only getting older, life feels as if it's passing by, feeling horribly alone and just depression in general. I cried listening to this cover, I just want you to know that I'm extremely happy I came across your channel, Ollie. Thank you
I THOUGHT IT WAS 'LOVELY' TOO but turns out it's actually "could you please make love a little less loudly" referring to his neighbors making love a bit too loudly...
I️ love your music and RUclips channel so much. Honestly, as someone who doesn’t sleep and has depression + anxiety I️ appreciate your whole aesthetic.
I have been watching this video. So I decided to look up the original song. As I was watching it, I started crying. I got to listen to a song that you listen to. It's nice getting to know you as a person. Even if it takes the rest of my life getting to know. Like this! Our future shows us how life changes and what is really important. I hope you smile with love in your heart.
Thank you for taking the time to put something good out into the world, despite the distinctly-worse-days that plague us. Wishing you significantly-better-moments soon.
EFFECTIVE SELF PROMOTION!! But also, I was going to watch it anyway. Been sitting with the notification on my phone for a few hours because sometimes it's nice to save a video I know I'm going to love.
God i love seeing the notification that you’ve posted, your voice is so soothing and emotional and it always makes me want to... do SOMETHING.. I don’t even know what, it just makes me feel something so strongly. Maybe it’s just me, but your music makes me feel things.
@Ollie MN I always come back to this channel when I'm feeling alone. Your voice just warms my heart and gives me a second chance... I hope you are doing well Ollie ❤❤
hey man I your channel is more than music its like a journey of life with music thrown in and your outlook of life is so damn funny which is probably what keeps you going in this bleak world, so yea thanks for making this channel. Thats all I have so say
Your voice touches my heart every time I hear any of your songs, I don’t know how you do it. I’m so glad I found you, I always keep your notifications on because theres always time for Ollie!
I have all of your vines saved to a flash drive labeled “my children’s inheritance”
can you send it to me please
Can I be your child to have that inheritance
Jake, if you’re alive and breathing. May I please inherit it too?
please adopt me
“I am not my bad days.”
Why did that stay with me?
Being someone who struggles with sleep myself i find your songs so soothing when i cant sleep at night. It is amazing how you can make a horrible thing so beautiful.Thank you for getting me through my sleepless nights!
Lana Bass I guess you could say, you're a sleepless boy
" May I have this donce?" You had the chonce, pal.
It's literally Dance with A
Not dence
Lyrics (help me out if something’s wrong):
In the ground we bury
The seeds of a pear tree
All the things we carry
Now we’re down to our bear feet
May I have this dance, to make it up to you
Can I say something crazy, I love you
Give me one more chance, to make it up to you
Let me spin and excite you
We are bound to inherit
the sins of our parents
And all the people we’ve passed through
Now we’re down to the last two
May I have this dance, to make it up to you
Can I say something crazy, I love you
Give me both your hands, to make it up to you
Let me spin and excite you
You’ve got, your mothers eyes
You’ve got, your grandmothers ring
You’ve got your daddies discernment
Girl you did your thing
Oh, one two, one two, always on beat
You must’ve been born with two right feet
Oh, one two, one two, always on beat
You must’ve been born with two right feet
I love you more than your mother
More than you love yourself
May I have this dance
Can I say something crazy, I love you
Give me one more chance
Let me spin and excite you
May I have this dance, to make it up to you
Can I say something crazy, I love you
Give me one more chance, to make it up to you
Let me spin and excite you
Let me spin and excite you
Let me spin and excite you
If his neighbors ever complain about the noise he makes with his masterpieces of music, they have no taste in music then XD
Kairow'sKiller 7 hey Ollie could you keep it down? You're making me contemplate the meaning of my own existence
my favourite swamp boy
Henry Chapman haha why is he called that?

I listened to this version of the song before listening to the original and I can never unhear Ollie’s version ever again. Absolutely love this ❤️
I hope you feel better, Ollie, and I also hope you know your songs and videos are making others feel better through their own sleepless nights

EFFECTIVE SELF PROMOTION ❤️ // ollie deserves everything pure and good in the world. what a talented angel
"I am not my bad days". Love that! You are a beautiful soul, Mr. Ollie
I've been struggling a lot lately, realizing I'm only getting older, life feels as if it's passing by, feeling horribly alone and just depression in general. I cried listening to this cover, I just want you to know that I'm extremely happy I came across your channel, Ollie.
Thank you
LOVE YOU ( you should do a full version for the vine that’s like “could you please make Love a little less lovely)
jaedon jones loudly* not lovely
I THOUGHT IT WAS 'LOVELY' TOO but turns out it's actually "could you please make love a little less loudly" referring to his neighbors making love a bit too loudly...
jaedon jones he should make full versions of all his vine songs
Hardly ever do i cry to music but your voice makes me so emotional. Ily ollie
I love these overly serious piano covers
I just got chills. I love these overly serious slow piano versions of songs!!
I could seriously listen to this and/or his voice all day. It's so calming and just pure amazing
I’m actually crying wow this is YES
Thank you so much for just being you and being great and here and giving people joy every time we see your face
when ollie explains how he's feeling lately, aahhhh big mood
I always wonder if you’ve died so it is refreshing to see whenever you post
I might cry this is so beautiful
*I have never heard anything better than Ollie's voice*
I'm in love with this
this is a masterpiece my friend
I love how he doesn't care about messing up, it's really showing the real person of Swamp Boy. Love it by the way and keep it up!!!
Your posts are always the highlight of my day. Thank you for not being dead, i know it’s hard but keep up the good work.
Unironically my favourite cover of this song
I’m gonna need to hear Creeks by Bon Iver. It’s not going to be as good as Justin Vernon’s version. But it’ll be ok probably.
Feel better man. I guess.
This may be the most lacklustre comment I've ever read
This is such an emotionless comment wow
Meg Alyssa u ok bud
Compliment???
Okay but why am I teary after watching this?
I miss Ollie, 2 years has gone fast but him being gone is sad
OMG YES, YOU DID IT OLLIE! YOU UPLOADED WEEKLY!!!!!! ACTUALLY CRYING
I've been listening to his music all day out of the blue and i shake shake the feeling that he sensed that and felt he had to post a new video/song.
