    The Running Mates covering "What's Up?" by 4 Non Blondes. We decided forgo the traditional Christmas cover to sing a song that we feel relates to everything that's been going on in the world lately. Let's come together this holiday season and celebrate love.
    We'd like to thank Larry Villella, CEO and founder of ADK Microphones for lending us this beautiful Hamburg 67 condenser to record with. Also featured in the video is a beautiful hand made acoustic guitar by W.T. Johnson Guitars.

    Sometimes it's the original, other times it's a cover, but eventually, every song finds its definitive version - the version that so completely captures the essence and potential of that song that all past and future versions are measured against it. THIS is the definitive version of What's Up. Absolutely sublime.

      While fantastic, I definitely think the original was best. Considering how hard it is to write a new song with zero guidance from anyone, I think your comment takes away the much deserved credit from 4 Non Blondes.

    Twenty-five years and my life is still
    Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
    For a destination
    I realized quickly when I knew I should
    That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
    For whatever that means
    And so I cry sometimes
    When I'm lying in bed just to get it all out
    What's in my head
    And I, I am feeling a little peculiar
    And so I wake in the morning
    And I step outside
    And I take a deep breath and I get real high
    And I scream from the top of my lungs
    What's going on?
    And I say, hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah
    I said hey, what's going on?
    And I say, hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah
    I said hey, what's going on?
    Oh, oh oh
    Oh, oh oh
    And I try, oh my god do I try
    I try all the time, in this institution
    And I pray, oh my god do I pray
    I pray every single day
    For a revolution
    And so I cry sometimes
    When I'm lying bed
    Just to get it all out
    What's in my head
    And I, I am feeling a little peculiar
    And so I wake in the morning
    And I step outside
    And I take a deep breath and I get real high
    And I scream from the top of my lungs
    What's going on?
    And I say, hey hey hey hey
    I said hey, what's going on?
    And I say, hey hey hey hey
    I said hey, what's going on?
    And I say, hey hey hey hey
    I said hey, what's going on?
    And I say, hey hey hey hey
    I said hey, what's going on?
    Oh, oh oh oh

    Trying to get up that great big hill of hope

    I've kept listening to your covers and songs since I found out about you two, you are truly the best thing I've heard on youtube in a long time, I'm a musician and hearing people not using a ton of auto tune is great for me, and I'm begging you, please keep making music and posting it here, it may be a slow start but you'll go big in the end

      Riccardo thank you so much! That is very high praise coming from another musician. We are very proud to record our videos live with no tuning and it's very nice to have that acknowledged! We are trying to be better about posting more and will have new content soon :)
