I'm sitting here its 2018 and I heard the lyrics "I don't want to miss a thing" for a second and I was like i know that song, and i looked it up and listened to the original by Aerosmith but it wasn't how I remember hearing the first time. So I sat for like 10 mins trying to remember where I listened to this horrible yet beautiful version of it and then I remembered and now I'm here listening to this, reminiscing on my old middle school years of being in the homestuck fandom. Man, this fandom was fucking bad but great in so many ways nobody could understand.
I read a thousand pages of so of Homestuck when it came out, but I wasn't really in the fandom. When the pandemic hit, I read the whole thing and loved it, and now I'm reading auxiliary works. So I'm curious about how the fandom was both bad and great! Even if I can't understand, can you help me almost understand?
More like Terezi. Nothing better to provoke romantic hate. "JOHN. JOHN. PL34S3 STOP." "CAUSE EVEN WHENIDREAMOFYALSKDJOU! THE SWEETEST DREAM WOULD NEVER DO!" "W3 DON'T DR34M. W3 G3T MOL3ST3D BY HORRORT3RRORS. PL34S3 STOP."
“I Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing”, “Never Gonna Give You Up” and “What’s Going On” often play on the radio at work and they always catch me off guard without fail
Headcanon: John sang either this or How Do I Live as a surprise during Rose and Kanaya’s wedding. Everyone was shocked to learn that John can sing, John was more surprised that no one knew.
today I spent 32 actual dollars to watch Sing 2 in theaters with my friends to make fun of it. When the scene came on where the elephant was singing.. she sang this song(I don't wanna miss a thing). It unlocked a memory. After the movie I looked up the scene and listened to the song once I dug it up, trying to piece together where i have heard this and how familiar it is. Oh my God. Homestuck..at 5 am , I have had no sleep, I go on here and look this up. It all makes sense.. it all goes back to homestuck. I'm also really baked rn
I've listened to this version so much that I actually cannot listen to the original one anymore. This one is the superior version to me. My god, long live Homestuck.
I'm legitimately crying I have salty tears of joy running down my face My son has a canon voice My crops have been watered My skin is clear Everything bad in my life has disappeared I want this played at my funeral This is the answer to all of the problems in the world Thank you, John Egbert you funky little bundle of pixels
how dare you disrespect the bowman you will go to court for this you will serve 720 years in meme jail you will be sued by everyone on the homestuck music team and yes, that includes tobo fix
+mashedpotatoman ` lmao nigga wat? you out ur rabbitass mind xD dudes voice is representative of egberts singing & is therefore, much like son's taste in films or management of his sylladex, SUPPOSED to be fuckin horrible & incompetent AS FUCK LOL none of dat mean i dislike it tho lmao, or een john as a character
God the FIRST time I heard the REAL version of this song on the radio I thought I was gonna cry.....it was a fucking religious experience like witnessing the rebirth of Christ himself right in front of me.
i really like this version. especially the beginning, it sounds so magical, especially since his voice is so off key that it suddenly sounds kind of warbled
There's a limit to the ironic appreciation you can have for this song. Now whenever it pops up on my playlist I think, "Who would put this on a playlist?"
lel people saying its john's canon it could be anyone in the homestuck universe singing doesn't have to be him everyone knows his ACTUAL canon voice is in "The Baby Is You" musical
Am I the only one who thinks this should be Homestuck's official anthem, rather than the actual song "Homestuck Anthem"? I CAN'T be the only person who thinks this existential beauty is the perfect respresentation of all things Homestuck. Its silly, its serious, its absurd... Its literally everything you could say Homestuck is.
I love all of the songs that got intertwined into it. Showtime, Squiddles theme, Sburban Jungle and a few i can't remember the names to. But there's even How do I live without you if you listen close!
im quite envious of veteran Homestucks having this being their first experience of this song. unfortunately my first experience of this song was from fucking Blades of Glory. i just came across this song today because im trying to power thru act 6
This song makes me want to cosplay as John so I can bring a boombox to conventions and sing this to random Vriskas/Roses, completely disregarding any wishes against it by said parties.
I've had this bullshit stuck in my head all day. Like, is there a worse Homestuck song for that to happen with jesus dicks don't get me emotional about a remix of an ancient song for a toy bunny don't do this.
+Ethan Goldstein We have the epilogue, hiveswap, and whatever "homestuck 2.0" that Dante Basco is helping with. Homestuck is not dead. Hussie still owns all of us.
As soon as the singing started, I did a loud squeal and started rolling around on my bed. And I wonder why my parents want me to see a doctorREMIX OH SNOP
1:42 to 1:48 Oh my god that's heart tugging. Somehow the imagine of Dad making John a mobile for his cot that played that version of Showtime popped into my head as soon as I heard it. Please tell me there's a full song made of mash-ups like that and the others in this song somewhere. So beautiful.

what a fantastic adventure this was
what do you all was? IT IS STILL ALIVE YA BUCKET LOVERS

i love how this has bits of homestuck songs scatted throughout
even the fucking squiddles theme
EYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
headcannon that John is a nerd who sings this to his significant other to serenade them
he sings this to roxy?
More like Terezi. Nothing better to provoke romantic hate. "JOHN. JOHN. PL34S3 STOP."

Oh my god yes.
Terezi would probably slap him CX
@@TheShieldsMD yeah spot on
@@TheShieldsMD cute.
Occasionally the original version of this song plays at work, and I just chuckle.
“I Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing”, “Never Gonna Give You Up” and “What’s Going On” often play on the radio at work and they always catch me off guard without fail
Heard the original in my art class once
i will sing to u
i want you to sing in my funeral
hot.
do it at my funeral
Ok john (:
thank u john
Headcanon: John sang either this or How Do I Live as a surprise during Rose and Kanaya’s wedding. Everyone was shocked to learn that John can sing, John was more surprised that no one knew.
I love this so much omg
YES!
that's not a headcannon
that actually happened
he can sing because he's the heir of *breath*. Of course the hero of breath can sing
karkat was probably the only one who knew , considering hes always watching john do stupid shit
today I spent 32 actual dollars to watch Sing 2 in theaters with my friends to make fun of it. When the scene came on where the elephant was singing.. she sang this song(I don't wanna miss a thing).

lovely story
“it all goes back to homestuck” sums up like 90% of my humor
It always goes back to Homestuck, it's how I got here, how I'm remembering it all again.
I've listened to this version so much that I actually cannot listen to the original one anymore. This one is the superior version to me. My god, long live Homestuck.
This is canonically John’s voice.
Let that sink in.
best aerosmith cover i've ever heard in my life
I see a dingus, a mod of 8008
Dingus, your pfp is naked.
@@nagi7578 na they have a hat
GUYS. THIS IS JOHN'S CANON VOICE. FREAK OUT, PLEASE
WOOT
I AM FREAKING OUT
yay 0_0
supersonic 415 oh hi, you put me in your circles!
It's Michael Guy Bowman. I think it's just to avoid copyright infringement or something.
The amazing part about this is that the singer here actually sounds calmer and more sane than in the original aerosmith song.
This would mash up so well with How Do I Live. We should all take a minute to imagine that, and mourn the tragedy of its nonexistence.
woodfur00 3:23
Listen carefully
do it
holy shit
@@ailaxvo64_ holy shit
I'm legitimately crying
I have salty tears of joy running down my face
My son has a canon voice
My crops have been watered
My skin is clear
Everything bad in my life has disappeared
I want this played at my funeral
This is the answer to all of the problems in the world
Thank you, John Egbert you funky little bundle of pixels
you didn't need to speciffy that the tears were salty
@@thesameguywhomaderoomlocked They might have been spicy though. These details are important!
the nasal sound and buddy holly-esque vocal hiccups makes this SO much funnier. what a gift
buddy holly? like- like th- weez
@@alchemlemnis
ooh wee ooh….
omfg i love michael bowmans grating, screechy, whiteass voice lmao
how dare you disrespect the bowman
you will go to court for this
you will serve 720 years in meme jail
you will be sued by everyone on the homestuck music team
and yes, that includes tobo fix
+mashedpotatoman ` lmao nigga wat? you out ur rabbitass mind xD
dudes voice is representative of egberts singing & is therefore, much like son's taste in films or management of his sylladex, SUPPOSED to be fuckin horrible & incompetent AS FUCK LOL
none of dat mean i dislike it tho lmao, or een john as a character
its a meme you dip
+mashedpotatoman wats a meme? >:?
oh my fucking god
I'm not even into Homestuck but I keep coming back here because of how this is a joke and serious at the same time.
GUYS HE HAS THE VOICE OF AN ANGEL IM CRYING HE'S TOO PRECIOUS AND THIS IS CANON
Michael Bowman is a goddamn angel
5 seconds into this i teared i have no idea why
God the FIRST time I heard the REAL version of this song on the radio I thought I was gonna cry.....it was a fucking religious experience like witnessing the rebirth of Christ himself right in front of me.
Mood
hhaaha bless
my skin is cleared
birds are singing
the skies are bluue
i no longer am sad
bleesss johhnn egbertt
i really like this version. especially the beginning, it sounds so magical, especially since his voice is so off key that it suddenly sounds kind of warbled
John has the voice of a GOD
will egbert this was god awful horse shit
Will Egbert Well, he is a god
I think of john singing it XD new headcannon voice
No need to have headcannons, this is cannon.
This is his cannon voice
There's a limit to the ironic appreciation you can have for this song. Now whenever it pops up on my playlist I think, "Who would put this on a playlist?"
Haha.
Anyone else realise Roxy told John he sounds like Jake? So Jake sounds like this...
reagan paulino british head canon destroyed
Alice U. Oh snap.
I always read Jake as a younger Joshua the Dog.
so that means jake was just like an american man that is like very wide in vocabulary related to old British, yep he's just an american
Cedz Adap I thought it was antiquated slang from both England *and* America.
In the original by Aerosmith, want he singing to his daughter?
Following that, John is totes singing to Casey x3
So I sing this every single day in class and people ask me what am I singing.
[insert nervous cough]
Welcome to John's head
John's right arm is giving me anxiety
Trident lookin ass
That pfp is giving me anxiety...
THAT PFP OMFG
kabukskii thanks, i made it myself
They both are 😭😭😭 they long af
John in the Candy timeline jsut makes this even more sad and beautiful
Both Candy and Meat, I’d argue
“I don’t want to miss a thing”
*Misses out on 10 years with his family*
"And that was how that stuff happened.
The bunny didn't make it."
i cri evrytiem
I've been listening to this on repeat for 20 minutes.
Ivystar Adventures honestly same
tbh yeah
same :')
I'm pretty sure John is singing to the bathtub. You know, the bathtub? "tell me what's wrong with this picture." that bathtub. He loved that bathtub.
lel people saying its john's canon
it could be anyone in the homestuck universe singing doesn't have to be him
everyone knows his ACTUAL canon voice is in "The Baby Is You" musical
the memer of dank Down Voted
hi, i john egbert and i'd tell you about my rock opera that's total like- OH MY GOD DAVE WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING ON THE GROUND WRITHING IN PAIN?
Help Me Ignore me John, I'm not *pregnant*
everyone knows johns canon voice is the zillyhoo chanting
Yes
I love the idea of explaining to someone why a bit of "How Do I Live" by Trisha Yearwood is remixed into an Aerosmith cover
Am I the only one who thinks this should be Homestuck's official anthem, rather than the actual song "Homestuck Anthem"? I CAN'T be the only person who thinks this existential beauty is the perfect respresentation of all things Homestuck. Its silly, its serious, its absurd... Its literally everything you could say Homestuck is.
i cant believe they got the real john homestuck to sing this
Does Bowman need any treatment
He screeched when he reached the high notes
Whatever is wrong with his voice, he needs more of it.
have you heard cerulean skies? he'll be fine.
Besides the comment but is your pfp Nowi?
This song perfectly describes my relationship with homestuck
Obviously singing to Matthew Mcconaughey
the voice of an angle. we all love him.
RIP Terry/Liv. You lived and died like a hero. *salute*
I just love the part where Explore comes into the mix at 2:41
I love all of the songs that got intertwined into it. Showtime, Squiddles theme, Sburban Jungle and a few i can't remember the names to. But there's even How do I live without you if you listen close!
happy birthday to the best character
such a beautiful voice A+++
this song is so powerful I cry every time explore plays...
Thanks for playing.
i like to think that when john is about to open the door to the other universe, he just randomly starts singing this song first.
WHY THIS SONG HIT DIFFERENT DOE 😭
Ah, sweet sweet nostalgia
But...
*SPOILERS FOR THE EPILOGUE*
RIP John Egbert :(
April 13 1996 -- April 13 2019
THIS SONG GOES HARD FEEL FREE TO LISTEN
this is perfected perfection.
Seeing this part in homestuck I genuinely cried unironically
im quite envious of veteran Homestucks having this being their first experience of this song. unfortunately my first experience of this song was from fucking Blades of Glory.
i just came across this song today because im trying to power thru act 6
Fuck whatever anyone has to say, this is john egdork singing
its not its confirmed that its not but warhammer of zillyhoo is sung by john that was confirmed by hussie
amax248
john has the lowest voice for a teenager XD
damn straight
I have breakdowns to this song every night man
I know how you feel, I really do
@@AvrahamWright😬my partner once said this song fits us, they got me into homestuck. N they left me😬😬😬
I really love this song. His voice is so beautiful
Has anyone ever considered this possibly being Jake singing/Jake's cannon voice?
TheAnonymousLemon Someone actually did say in the comic that John sounded a lot like Jake.
Dee Six I KNEW IT
happy birthday john
Rest in peace terry, rest in peace
Press F to mourn Terry.
F
F
I hope we get more homestuck covers of aerosmith in the future
Knowing that Bowman was kind of high on paint while recording this only makes it better.
This is amazing. This is the best John voice EVER
This is beautiful
I've been staring at this for five hours now.
This song makes me want to cosplay as John so I can bring a boombox to conventions and sing this to random Vriskas/Roses, completely disregarding any wishes against it by said parties.
This is my favorite. Forever and ever. I need this. On my iPod. Like now.
The actual version of this song is my "our song". This version is just awesome.
I came here to pay my respects to Liv Tyler.
A greater bunny has never lived.
This song is is going to be played at my wedding.
I heard this song on the radio and could not unhear this. /bowman your singing is amazingly amazing/
I love this.
John's voice is beautiful
almost forgot happy birthday to the best character
I don't think I've ever heard the original, and I think that's beautiful
Oh man John has a beautiful voice!
Honestly this song was already corny before Homestuck existed which is what makes this version so perfect.
I COULD STAY LOST, IN THIS MOMENT... FOREEVEERR
Cried a little
I've had this bullshit stuck in my head all day. Like, is there a worse Homestuck song for that to happen with jesus dicks don't get me emotional about a remix of an ancient song for a toy bunny don't do this.
His name is Micheal Guy Bowman. Hope this helped! :)
bowman is older john near the end of homestuck
This is great. Great job.
he’s such a nerd, i love him.
I witnessed someone listening to this song while reading the pages where John finds his dead Dad, and it was certainly worth remembering.
so it's that day of the year again
why does this make me emotional.........
RIP HOMESTUCK :(
ugh im legit crying my eyes out
+Ethan Goldstein We have the epilogue, hiveswap, and whatever "homestuck 2.0" that Dante Basco is helping with. Homestuck is not dead. Hussie still owns all of us.
+Cody Bennett There's some truth in this
Fuck I signed my soul away to the Huss.
Remember that contract that we all signed when we first clicked "Enter Name?" It lasts forever so we are trapped here forever.
I somehow got out, get me the fuck back in
As soon as the singing started, I did a loud squeal and started rolling around on my bed. And I wonder why my parents want me to see a doctorREMIX OH SNOP
this still goes hard
does anyone else find this song absolutely terrifying but also incredibly catchy
this song is the definition of so bad it's good
This is the best thing ever.
That moment when you realized you prefer this version to the original.
1:42 to 1:48
Oh my god that's heart tugging. Somehow the imagine of Dad making John a mobile for his cot that played that version of Showtime popped into my head as soon as I heard it.
Please tell me there's a full song made of mash-ups like that and the others in this song somewhere. So beautiful.
Oh my God there's something horribly wrong with his arms...
It finally happened. I came for the song.
Don't care who he's singing this to xD i just love how they mix a lot of songs into this c:
This is the most beautiful thing EVER!!!!!
John singing to Dave?
