When I deployed to Korea my friends loaded me up with burned copies of bands I missed through basic training and AIT. Punk hardcore emo all the good stuff that was around at that time. This was one of those albums. A month in I made friends with a bar owner outside the gates that just opened up and only wanted to serve food, booze and pool and have sports on. This was when the World Cup was there in 2002. I told him I know a lot about cool music that most people don’t listen too and would like to play DJ when I’m off work if that’s ok. He agreed. Long story shorter never meant would be played at the beginning of the evening and at closing every night. That place was packed every day with soldiers singing music I grew up with and when this one came on it was like my generations of Don’t Stop Believing. They broke up either before I left or while I was there but at that time everyone in Waegwan South Korea sang this song at some point. At least it felt like everyone. What a memory.
I’m so grateful that I stopped by the comments for a moment and that you shared this story. I have no idea why but I teared up; it’s beautiful sometimes to hear of people’s nostalgic memories. Thank you
Definitely did a really nice job. It’s really tough to get the vibe of this song across without two guitars. I’m not sure if the second part here was just Mike’s guitar part or some other approximation but it sounds really nice
You are my favorite guitarist. I have learned so much from you. Basically as soon as I really discovered "YOU" outside of Covet, I instantly fell in love with your playing and tuned to FACGAE. Been some years now and I still use that tuning. I attempt to create my own. You truly are an invaluable gift to the universe. I believe, when you play, you radiate positivity, love, and also sorrow... I've told ya before, your music breaks my heart and heals it at the same time!!! I am ever grateful for you, and the creations you give to us as gifts. We really do APPRECIATE your music. Even if this isn't yours 😂 🔥💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🔥
I just bought a Yamaha acoustic with you totally (subconsciously) in mind 😂 I love it. Thought about spending a bit more to get this model, but settled with one a little cheaper. It’s a fantastic acoustic guitar. Love your playing. Have been a fan for years.
THIS IS SO FUCKING COOL!!!!!! I just started learning guitar again to learn this song n others like it (marietta when I catch you…) I can’t wait to be as skilled as you one day🙏🙏🙏🙏 My biggest inspo you are so kick ass💪💪💪
That ring-finger dexterity really opens things up. Very Bruce Cockburn. I’ve just found your playing and your writing style reminds me of my own. You’re just better lol.
There's a cool version of this called Nevermeant 64 using sound files from Mario64 here on RUclips. It's not as pretty as this but still worth a listen.
Let's just forget everything said And everything we did Best friends and better halves Goodbyes And the autumn night when we realized We were falling out of love
Cant get enough American Football. First time i heard you play years and years ago. I immediately knew you listened to them at some point in your life. Wondering if you ever jam out to more high energy stuff like Capn Jazz?
omg i have loved this song for years!!! i honestly was starting to think no one knew it because everytime i played it, theyd be like "yo whats this song called" 💀 can you post the tabs??? pleaseee 😭
Thats a great rift . Theres a problem with a really great rift. That gets peoole caught in that rift . How do you erase it in their head to end the song. Songs need an end that erasees the melody with the same song mantra of the song . Every great song has that ..! It's like your programing their mind for a great rift . But in the end you have to erase it . Or it will torcher them ..! Mark of a great song writer is how to erasr it with the ending..!

would love to hear this as a full cover with your vocals!

I went back 11 years and showed her your comment.
ruclips.net/video/MS5Bspl0iro/видео.htmlfeature=shared
You're welcome
I can really imagine it in my head! Amazing
She has one! Go to her videos and sort oldest to newest. Her 5th RUclips vid ever posted.
@@Apophis392 wow! how did i miss that one. thanks!
My favorite guitarist playing my favorite riff. This is heavenly.
Truly! This hits straight in the feels

Army? And year?
I’m so grateful that I stopped by the comments for a moment and that you shared this story.
I have no idea why but I teared up; it’s beautiful sometimes to hear of people’s nostalgic memories.
Thank you
damn that is beautiful man
@@humblesamb9920 I was in the Army and 2002. Camp Carroll. The bar was called “Why Not 2” A guy named June or Jun and his wife owned it.
Mind blowing arrangement. This is exactly why I came to RUclips looking for a Yvette Young cover of Never Meant.
She did it with a boo boo on her fingy. Nice!
Dang, all that fingerwork and impeccable timing with a damaged forefinger. Solid job, my dude
ugh the way you arranged it to have both guitar parts is disgustingly good
Absolutely beautiful!! You are amazing, and I hope your finger heals soon!
The transitions you do are amazing! Probably one of the very few covers of this track that feels cohesive!
Definitely did a really nice job. It’s really tough to get the vibe of this song across without two guitars. I’m not sure if the second part here was just Mike’s guitar part or some other approximation but it sounds really nice
Check out Nevermeant 64. It's definitely not as pretty as this but an interesting listen.
You are like if Miyazaki played guitar instead of making animated films. That is how your music makes me feel.
Lmao what
@@justin9744look up studio Ghibli watch the movies and you’ll get what OP meant by the comment. I myself concur.
I am glad you appreciate that Yvette.
I immediately knew this was Never Meant without reading. So good.
Brother you are a genius. Golden ear.
Yes bro, you are genius
@@virgilebeats1945I'm so proud
i think that’s how sound works man
Are there tabs for this somewhere ??? Amazing job btw
^this
i love you
Those harmonics near the end gave me chills
i've been playing this on loop for about 30 minutes and i didn't realize at all, such a soothing cover
the yvette young playing style goes hard with this riff, someone else already mentioned but id love to hear a full over of this with vocals
I'd do anything to sit about and watch Yvette play and noodle, it would put my PTSD on hold for a while and send me into a euphoric haze
You are my favorite guitarist. I have learned so much from you. Basically as soon as I really discovered "YOU" outside of Covet, I instantly fell in love with your playing and tuned to FACGAE.

🔥💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🔥
As a fan of Mike Kinsella/American football, this was awesome. Do more!
my fav song..
Thank you for this! I always say this on your FB when you post acoustic songs but they are truly my favorite pieces!
I just bought a Yamaha acoustic with you totally (subconsciously) in mind 😂 I love it. Thought about spending a bit more to get this model, but settled with one a little cheaper. It’s a fantastic acoustic guitar. Love your playing. Have been a fan for years.
There were some things that were said that weren't meant, but never was it "Yvette stop playing"
Jesus Christ that was beautiful.
THIS IS SO FUCKING COOL!!!!!! I just started learning guitar again to learn this song n others like it (marietta when I catch you…) I can’t wait to be as skilled as you one day🙏🙏🙏🙏 My biggest inspo you are so kick ass💪💪💪
Is that Band-Aid from playing these kinds of riffs on an acoustic guitar?
I'm liking your acoustic series.
Yeah would sound great with a vocalist.
Write some of your thought down.
All time banger. Would be excellent with your vocals/harmonies
That ring-finger dexterity really opens things up. Very Bruce Cockburn. I’ve just found your playing and your writing style reminds me of my own. You’re just better lol.

Let's just forget everything said
And everything we did
Best friends and better halves
Goodbyes
And the autumn night when we realized
We were falling out of love
Now please play CHINESE FOOTBALL
Cant get enough American Football. First time i heard you play years and years ago. I immediately knew you listened to them at some point in your life. Wondering if you ever jam out to more high energy stuff like Capn Jazz?
What were you looking at? Lol, were there birds or something or were you just looking around? I must know.
Infinitely better than iron and wine's cover
As if I couldn't love you more God bless you Yevette 💟 🕊️ 😇 🙏
Helloooo does anyone know where to find tabs for this arrangement? Thank you!:)
I'll never forget when you got San Holo into AmFoo and he thought he had emo cred now 😂
Very beautiful 😍 🤩 👌 ❣️ ❤️!!!
Who gets the 12/8? Phrasing goes to 6 in the middle. So simple, and elegant.
Beautiful song thanks for sharing.
The cover by "nothing, nowhere" is my favorite.
Maybe a Covet cover sometime?
"Best friends and better halves..."
omg i have loved this song for years!!! i honestly was starting to think no one knew it because everytime i played it, theyd be like "yo whats this song called" 💀 can you post the tabs??? pleaseee 😭
never meant by american football never meant by american football never meant by american football never meant by american football never me
I thought a misdirected football was going to fly into the picture.
Only you could play both parts at the same time, you are amazing
Beautiful stuff, Yvette! Did you hear the Iron and Wine version? It puts a different spin on it.
You daydreaming? What about?
Personally I think the acoustic guitar is her strong point although she plays violin piano and electric guitar
Shes not playing notes, Shes playing on my heartstrings 🤧🤧🤧
Thats a great rift .
Theres a problem with a really great rift. That gets peoole caught in that rift .
How do you erase it in their head to end the song.
Songs need an end that erasees the melody with the same song mantra of the song .
Every great song has that ..!
It's like your programing their mind for a great rift .
But in the end you have to erase it . Or it will torcher them ..!
Mark of a great song writer is how to erasr it with the ending..!
full version please!!! beautiful playing
О боже неееееет!? Ивет янг отрастила каскад и поехала в провинциальную деревушку Америки, чтобы сыграть мидвест эмо?!
John Fahey was like, now lets see if our guitar is in tune..
this riff makes me want to learn guitar just to play this intro 😣
Everything really is gonna be alright....
Wish i was lucky enough to marry you so i could listen to you all the time.
Sounds so beautiful on acoustic and without the drums it just flows even more chill ❤
Why i feeling deep like this is end of movie with happy ending but i feel sad ? 💔
PLSSSS YVETTE MAKE A FULL COVER OF THIS W UR VOCAL🙏🙏
You bring me great joy 😊
Thank you
Why is this video 100 hours long?
thank you. this is beautiful.
trans acoustic? what's next, a non-binary bass?
That was beautiful
fuk yeah
Nice . She’s so cool .
I want to hear her voice too though
You mean Americ Anfootball?
Tabs to this would be great ❤
I want this to play with the ending credits after I die
The pinch harmonics were the chefs kiss
First time I've ever not noticed a short looped
Sounds so beautiful and a cute beautiful lady too
I would actually sell a kidney to hear you play anything live
Her band is called COVET
Aw what happened to your finger
How do you find motivation to practice?
will there be a video of the super jam?
Please let me play bass if you cover this
I wonder who she’s voting for lol
Midwest emo before the crack riff
New RUclips crush unlocked
Where can I get cool hats like that. Please
Sounds like birds kinda?🥚🔨
Would absolutely love a Covet/Yvette cover this
