The original song has the vibe of a party song. A group having fun. This song makes me think of a young girl sitting alone in her room and singing this to herself. To convince herself that she has to keep fighting. I agree with you Jenny. This song is so powerful that it gives a completely new song when you sing it slow and with emotion. Very very Good job Miss Lane
This is a perfect cover of this song. You tore it down. You took away all of the unneeded additions and showed how beautiful these lyrics can actually be without auto-tuning. BEAUTIFUL cover. Thank you for sharing this.
Jenny, please for God's sake don't change!!! You are beautiful, your Voice is beautiful, your entire image as an artist is perfect! I think that slowing this, and other songs down does reveal feeling and shows a singer at their most vulnerable and purest form. I envy your talent, even being a male I think that if I had even an ounce of your talent I'd be incredible! Thank you for sharing this with us and like I said, please don't change! Much love from England, J x
I wish more videos were like this. The live aspect makes the video and emotion in your voice more "real," and it was because the believability that this was by far my favorite cover of the song, including the original, and I hardly ever say that. Great rendition! Keep them coming!
thank you! i actually feel quite the opposite. slowing down a song and stripping it like this can actually increase the feeling and emotion of the lyrics, at least for me. this particular song is so powerful and i really wanted to convey the right emotions, which meant stripping it. ah well, we're all entitled to our opinions! thanks for listening.
What's to keep in mind? This is a great rendition Jenny and I don't know what you would do to improve it. Thanks so much for the upload; I am enjoying it immensely over and over again.
I actually really enjoy your ballads. I still haven't listened to the original version of this song. This is wonderful enough for me, and I wouldn't want to ruin something that rests so beautifully in my mind.
Youre incredible. You should be more known. Your voice gives me chills. Keep on making beautiful music. And for everyone saying she's autotuned, if you are musically inclined at ALL you can tell she has raw talent. there was nothing done to her voice. For those who ARENT musically inclined, you dont really have much of an opinion in my eyes.
how is it you dont have a major label recording you ???? the hair on the back of my neck stands true when i hear your voice ... i wish i had that talent you get so wrapped in your music when your singing id by your album 100 times !!
I AM SO OVER THIS SONG! I hear it so often on the radio everyday... BUT you did a FANTASTIC version of it! I LOVE the fact that you slowed it down! Not sure why you were uncertain if you should upload this...? Because this is PERFECT! Thank you for singing a bit of light into my day :-)
I love what you did with this. I dont care what other people have been commenting, the piano version is great. Beautiful voice and beautiful girl, keep it up jenny!
I came across your youtube channel accidentally while watching another video and now I cant stop watching love love love your voice, id love to hear you sing breakeven by the script.
So you know how you said you are a perfectionist and debated putting this up? Well this is pretty much perfection. Your voice....I just can't get over it
It's so funny how people always talk about autotune, and don't even know what it is... But hey... fantastic cover. One of my fav artist, and song, Thanks for this beautiful wakeup-song for today::)
I came to this video after watching your cover of Try, and by the way your cover of that is the best cover on all of youtube in my opinion. And after hearing this i just felt quite simply amazing, your voice is amazing, you are amazing and don't listen to any of the other rubbish people are putting. I just wanted you to know how awesome i think you are, keep up the good work :D
Love it slowed down, you actually hear the beautiful lyrics, and you're voice isn't too bad either :) Seriously though why don't you have more views??? Amazing
The great thing is you can strip a song back to just a piano and still capture and audience which is harder to do its actually so much easier to put massive production on a song like this, When you can strip a song back and change it up and still deliver the story with emotion you know your good Lovely Performance Jenny :)
Wow Humility redefined!! :). I found your channel from a song you covered with Corey Gray n i was thinking why don't you cover Fun. N bingo!! Wonderful!! You just motivated me to practice again!! Thnx! :)
I am surprised that I like this version so much . I think you did a fantastic job slowing it down. Anyways, to all the haters that must have it fast check out some nights by Jake Coco and friends, then when you're in for some calmer music, come back and listen to this.
On top of that, listen to the lyrics. Though, originally, it is a high-energy song, the words are not happy. Careless, maybe - but, by no means happy. If you're going to slow any song down into a ballad, this one is an excellent choice. Well done.
I didn't think I would like this version of the song, just because it's slower and whatnot. I've seen quite a few slower versions, and I disliked them. But this one has to be my favorite. I still prefer faster versions, mainly because it's such a powerful song. The lyrics have a lot of meaning, and it's supposed to be in your face. But this was a fantastic cover! Great job, keep it up!
HAHA, cheers, I'm from New Jersey. Thanks man! this song (along with most of fun.'s songs) was definitely technically difficult! Super hard to follow Nate, he's got such a crazy voice and the music is all over the place... but yeah I did my own thing and I'm so glad you liked it! :))
Some nights I stay up cashing in my bad luck Some nights I call it a draw Some nights I wish that my lips could build a castle Some nights I wish they'd just fall off But I still wake up, I still see your ghost Oh, Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for oh Whoa oh oh (What do I stand for?) Whoa oh oh (What do I stand for?) Most nights I don't know anymore... Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh This is it, boys, this is war - what are we waiting for? Why don't we break the rules already? I was never one to believe the hype Save that for the black and white I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked But here they come again to jack my style That's alright (that's alright) I found a martyr in my bed tonight She stops my bones from wondering just who I am, who I am, who I am Oh, who am I? Mmm... Mmm... Well, some nights I wish that this all would end 'Cause I could use some friends for a change And some nights I'm scared you'll forget me again Some nights I always win, I always win... But I still wake up, I still see your ghost Oh, Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh Whoa oh oh (What do I stand for?) Whoa oh oh (What do I stand for?) Most nights I don't know... (oh, come on) So this is it I sold my soul for this? Washed my hands of that for this? I miss my mom and dad for this? (Come on) No. When I see stars, when I see When I see stars, that's all they are When I hear songs, they sound like a swan, so come on Oh, come on. Oh, come on. Oh, come on! Well, that is it guys, that is all Five minutes in and I'm bored again Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands This one is not for the folks at home; Sorry to leave, mom, I had to go Who the fuck wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun? My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she called "love" When I look into my nephew's eyes... Man, you wouldn't believe the most amazing things that can come from... Some terrible nights... ah... Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh, Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh The other night you wouldn't believe the dream I just had about you and me I called you up but we'd both agree It's for the best you didn't listen It's for the best we get our distance...

Jenny, Jenny, oh man. You leave me breathless. When you cover a song, it's like no one has sung it until you do. That was flawless, my friend.
This is a perfect cover of this song. You tore it down. You took away all of the unneeded additions and showed how beautiful these lyrics can actually be without auto-tuning. BEAUTIFUL cover. Thank you for sharing this.
Your amazing, beautiful voice & singing and Jameson's wonderful, warm piano playing have truly touched my heart, soul and bones.
Jenny, please for God's sake don't change!!! You are beautiful, your Voice is beautiful, your entire image as an artist is perfect!

Some nights I stay up cashing in my bad luck
Some nights I call it a draw
Some nights I wish that my lips could build a castle
Some nights I wish they'd just fall off
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh, Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for oh
Whoa oh oh (What do I stand for?)
Whoa oh oh (What do I stand for?)
Most nights I don't know anymore...
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh
This is it, boys, this is war - what are we waiting for?
Why don't we break the rules already?
I was never one to believe the hype
Save that for the black and white
I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked
But here they come again to jack my style
That's alright (that's alright)
I found a martyr in my bed tonight
She stops my bones from wondering just who I am, who I am, who I am
Oh, who am I? Mmm... Mmm...
Well, some nights I wish that this all would end
'Cause I could use some friends for a change
And some nights I'm scared you'll forget me again
Some nights I always win, I always win...
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh, Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh
Whoa oh oh (What do I stand for?)
Whoa oh oh (What do I stand for?)
Most nights I don't know... (oh, come on)
So this is it
I sold my soul for this?
Washed my hands of that for this?
I miss my mom and dad for this?
(Come on)
No. When I see stars, when I see
When I see stars, that's all they are
When I hear songs, they sound like a swan, so come on
Oh, come on. Oh, come on. Oh, come on!
Well, that is it guys, that is all
Five minutes in and I'm bored again
Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands
This one is not for the folks at home;
Sorry to leave, mom, I had to go
Who the fuck wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun?
My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she called "love"
When I look into my nephew's eyes...
Man, you wouldn't believe the most amazing things that can come from...
Some terrible nights... ah...
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh,
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh
The other night you wouldn't believe the dream I just had about you and me
I called you up but we'd both agree
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance... Oh...
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance... Oh...
♥.
thank you :) xo
