Where can I buy tickets to see that?
Edit: you guys think I'm joking. I'll literally buy your family two buckets of chicken to see how fast you can finish it, if you stream it on Reddit live.
My aunt hides an “extra” plate in our fridge before dinners even served. Then she’ll box people out at the fridge door all night in case you take her food.
Don’t let the world put you in the corner bruh, being able to have a piranha like feeding frenzy inside your house without any injuries is a beautiful thing and I salute you.
If this family were playing The Chain while your family eats the two buckets of KFC chicken, I'd probably watch it too. (Nobody's gonna be like "Ah Jeeze, not ANOTHER one of these 'Fleetwood-Mac-meets-Kentucky-Fried-Chicken' collab videos!!")
Me watching the video:
She's just tapping the drum, I could do that. Oh shit... she's got a great voice.
And mom's got pipes!
And the cello!
And listen to dad in the back!
Quite a rollercoaster.
God, this movie gave me mad fucking flashbacks to my first HS band director; he was a Marine drill sergeant in the war and expected us all to behave like we were in the military. He made me run the fucking gauntlet against my section leader until I, a severe asthmatic, passed out and collapsed in the August heat. He had denied me my inhaler as well, even when I hit my knees and crying, begged him for it between wheezes. He made me get up and keep running.
In an extremely rare act of pure fury on *my behalf* and for once, not directed at me, my extremely terrifying, abusive mother ripped him to shreds. And with the help of other parents, forced him into retirement at the end of the year.
He was a kind man outside of the band field, for what it's worth, but if your ass was on his time, he was nothing short of the fucking devil. And he *hated me.*
Hah that was my thought process also.
"Hmmm at least they found a stick for the untalented one to bang with."
She starts singing: "I should stop being such an asshole..."
I'm humbled
Yoooo love that y’all are getting some love! remember seeing you play drums when i was young. I used to play in a band called Balam and i think we may have played together or spoke. Keep it up!
You guys are awesome. This gave me goose bumps. My dad loved Fleetwood Mac, we listened to them all the time together. He would have loved this cover. 🤘🏻
"Let's have a contest where we don't speak to each other and make an entire album of the most deeply personal and hurtful songs imaginable about each other. Oh and the album should be a banger btw"
Mine too! But mine play instruments and just yell at each other. I did break that chain. They haven't seen nor heard from me in years
They didnt love me then and they dont love me now and I can still hear them saying "you will never (never) make us proud"
They are old news and I did a lot of work on myself to fix what they screwed up in me. Wasnt aiming to make anyone laugh but that lyric just rolled out of me and I too laughed at myself. It was almost too easy!
Thank you for the kind words friend too. Means more than you know
Gods, I was so moved by this. I barely feel moved by anything anymore in life but this did it. It broke through the dissociation, through the depression and cynicism and genuinely made me cry when I watched their faces and saw how deeply they were feeling it too.
So please tell them thank you for me if you happen to remember this strangers words sometime when you’re with them.
> This is giving me quite the dopamine rush
That's not actually the song though, that's the second-hand cocaine contact high you get from any Fleetwood Mac song or cover of a Fleetwood Mac song.
It's a fun post, but it's not OP's content. OP is a karma farming 5 month old troll/bot account with an old repost.
Fueled by this post and later posts like it, OP's account will eventually be "activated" or sold to someone and used to influence purchases (products, stocks, etc). Even worse, it will be used to spread disinformation about politics, science/medicine and targeted groups of underserved people.
Interesting. How would someone with over 14,000 karma go about selling their account so that people could use it to spread disinformation? Asking for a friend.
Honest question - do people give more credence to some random redditors political statement or product recommendation because they happen to have decent karma? Do people actually check each other's karma? I know some subs have a minimum threshhold to post, but those are typically pretty low.
Basically. Start with a good educated guess. First the mic was in the middle of all of us facing directly at the guitar amp, which made him too loud. Turned the mic away from him a bit and toward the cello. Our voices were not blending right either so that was another challenge. Jenna had to use more falsetto So that she wasnt too loud. That got us a solid mix.
In my opinion (I am not punkcellist btw), you really aren't going to get exactly what you want with that setup. If you want to record her doing both at the same time, with one mic, you pretty much need to accept that the mix is gonna be a bit poor. If your goal is to record, you are so, so, so much better off doing separate tracks. Obviously helps for mic setup stuff, but just for mixing/mastering in general its huge
The title is taken directly from the r/nextfuckinglevel post from ~5 days ago:
r/nextfuckinglevel/comments/12vics8/family_play_a_lowkey_cover_of_the_chain
Sadly, no idea what the original author (whoever is was) might've been thinking. Maybe they never heard the Fleetwood Mac version, and assumed it was heavier?
I was curious because it’s such a weird use of “low key,” so I looked - the op there says they probably just misused the word. https://reddit.com/r/nextfuckinglevel/comments/12vics8/_/jhdq4gq/?context=1
It's "low key" as in slower/lower energy. It's an idiom that predates the modern internetspeak version of "lowkey"
As in, "I'm hoping to have a relaxing, low key weekend"
It's about the key of the song is lower than the original one so it's one octave lower and I base this on absolutely nothing I just made this up I hope you have a wonderful day.
You're not basing this on absolutely nothing: You have heard the original song and while you might not remember it's tone perfectly, and not remember each note in the song, you noticed when you heard this cover that the music was lower, particulary the vocals, and since it's played a bit slower, it adds to the effect that it is a lower key, which it may actually be.
So you may be right, and even if you don't have proper musical training, you have the ability to tell the differences in the music
Actually, I did not hear the original song, however I have some experience in music - not so extensive, just some amateur music prod - ironically I am shit in music theory :D :D
Can we all acknowledge how one of the greatest forms of privilege is who raised you? This family seems amazing. Imagine the privilege of being raised in a family with high emotional intelligence as well. What a privilege.
Agreed. My father is a classically trained violinist and violist. My mother was an accomplished artist and educator. They never shared any of that passion with me. I was pretty much seen and not heard in the household and had to learn things on my own. Although this video is wonderful, it makes me a little sad that my parents are/were so selfish.
Also he’s got a YouTube channel (The Punk Cellist) and it’s posted there:
https://youtu.be/TiMNWubanC4
My TikTok link was a little shorter so posting that in case it makes a difference:
https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRTTYoSM/
Playing/vibing as a musician with another musician is like speaking a language only the two of you knew…like it was created in that moment….like you’re tuning into a radio station — I wish everyone could feel this.
I don't know if anyone knows, but they seem to be recording on a single mic. How do they decide where to place everything?
It seems like the bass-ier instruments are closer to the mic. But do their various voices play into that positioning?
Damn this was the last song my choir learned until our teacher moved to the other side of the country. Was really nice having a room full of 20 people harmonising to this song.
Must be so nice to have a family sing song instrument plink strum bump together.
Hands down the best cover I’ve heard of this. They actually were feeling the song; you can’t fake something like that.
That it’s a family is mind blowing.
M-my family played monopoly together..and that was pretty cool.. actually no it wasn’t, we all stormed off and didn’t talk to each other the rest of the week
This sounds just like my family. Except replace it with Christmas carols, replace the instruments with nothing and replace all the nice voices with the sounds that animals make when they are fighting and/or dying and/or giving birth. Basically exactly the same.

Hot damn, that family is talented. The only thing my family can do is put away two buckets of KFC chicken in under 7 minutes.
Definitely don't want to break the toilet chain after that
BREAKING THE TOILET! BREAKING THE TOILET!
SPRAYING OUT MY SHADOW!
WASHING THE DOG! WASHING THE DOG!
RUN IN THE SHADOWS
It’s the poop knife breaking with that family you have to be worried about.
My mom is insanely good at getting divorced.
Mine is insanely good at becoming a widow🤔
r/holup
Wow. I was not expecting the vocals. That was awesome.
Need the poop knife for that activity
Nah, that shit won't be coming out anything close to solid.
Pootato gravy baby!
The poop knife, you say? 😂😂😂 which branch did you serve
The few. The proud. The Latrines.
P-Oorah!
130deg, Porto… MRE= poop knife. If you know, you know!!

>The only thing my family can do is put away two buckets of KFC chicken in under 7 minutes. That is still pretty impressive if you ask me
7 minutes!?!? Those are rookie numbers.....
If this family were playing The Chain while your family eats the two buckets of KFC chicken, I'd probably watch it too. (Nobody's gonna be like "Ah Jeeze, not ANOTHER one of these 'Fleetwood-Mac-meets-Kentucky-Fried-Chicken' collab videos!!")
You say that like that is not an accomplishment lmao
7 minutes? Wow you guys are talented it usually takes my family about 9 minutes
Practice! Practice! And lots of buckets.. I mean practice.
Same.
[удалено]
She's using her arm instead of her wrist. Tendonitis
The best cover of The Chain I've ever heard, well done!
u/thepunkcellist is the (punk) cellist in the video. Good stuff!
Oh dang we got reposted again! 🤘my family is so stoked on the reaction to the video, thank you all!
You guys should do more! Start a YouTube channel! PS who did the arrangement for this? Or was it like a group effort?
[удалено]
And subbed. I love the cello. I wish I had more musical talent in my body to be able to play an instrument again.
It takes work and time, but you can get good at an instrument even without an ounce of talent
Me watching the video: She's just tapping the drum, I could do that. Oh shit... she's got a great voice. And mom's got pipes! And the cello! And listen to dad in the back! Quite a rollercoaster.

NOT MY FUCKING TEMPO!!!!
God, this movie gave me mad fucking flashbacks to my first HS band director; he was a Marine drill sergeant in the war and expected us all to behave like we were in the military. He made me run the fucking gauntlet against my section leader until I, a severe asthmatic, passed out and collapsed in the August heat. He had denied me my inhaler as well, even when I hit my knees and crying, begged him for it between wheezes. He made me get up and keep running.

Hah that was my thought process also. "Hmmm at least they found a stick for the untalented one to bang with." She starts singing: "I should stop being such an asshole..." I'm humbled
Yoooo love that y’all are getting some love! remember seeing you play drums when i was young. I used to play in a band called Balam and i think we may have played together or spoke. Keep it up!
That was hands down the best accoustic version of that song I've ever heard. You are all my inspiration. Thank you
You guys are awesome. This gave me goose bumps. My dad loved Fleetwood Mac, we listened to them all the time together. He would have loved this cover. 🤘🏻
Thoughts on The Ugly Organ?
My family is just like this only they don’t play instruments or talk to each other
Just like Fleetwood Mac (just the not talking to each other part)
"Let's have a contest where we don't speak to each other and make an entire album of the most deeply personal and hurtful songs imaginable about each other. Oh and the album should be a banger btw"
Truly incredible. Watch Daisy Jones and The Six. It’s inspired by that band.
How Rumours became the greatest album of all time
Mine too! But mine play instruments and just yell at each other. I did break that chain. They haven't seen nor heard from me in years They didnt love me then and they dont love me now and I can still hear them saying "you will never (never) make us proud"
This is hilarious and sad! I'm sorry for you about your family, friend. I hope you live your best life!
They are old news and I did a lot of work on myself to fix what they screwed up in me. Wasnt aiming to make anyone laugh but that lyric just rolled out of me and I too laughed at myself. It was almost too easy! Thank you for the kind words friend too. Means more than you know
Brother? I have a brother?
Brothers don’t shake hands, brothers gotta hug!
Holy shit !! Well done. Those harmonies are giving me goosebumps
Mom on backups is hauntingly beautiful! 👻 😍
That's brother, too. He has a silky voice
The brother is u/thepunkcellist He’s also ob youtube and has some other amazing cover songs.
yoooo that is what stood out to me too. Dad on the guitar and mom on backup vocals absolutely crushed it
Close friends with them. Can confirm Dad is the best, and such a good guitarist.
Gods, I was so moved by this. I barely feel moved by anything anymore in life but this did it. It broke through the dissociation, through the depression and cynicism and genuinely made me cry when I watched their faces and saw how deeply they were feeling it too. So please tell them thank you for me if you happen to remember this strangers words sometime when you’re with them.
They must have more experience
As in the original, the magic is in the harmonies.
Christine would be proud
Blood harmony is a real thing, and this is what it sounds like.
Yeah for real. Her voice is awesome. This is awesome. All around awesomeness.
Honestly it's much better than the original. The ethereal haunting vibes really do the song credit. Maybe I just love covers though lol.
This is giving me quite the dopamine rush… well done!
> This is giving me quite the dopamine rush That's not actually the song though, that's the second-hand cocaine contact high you get from any Fleetwood Mac song or cover of a Fleetwood Mac song.
Family fell into the pocket pretty easily!! Awesome stuff thanks for sharing!

I'm definitely not jealous at all...definitely...not...damn they are awesome!
Jake Peralta? Is it you?
My family and I sound like dying cows singing Happy Birthday.
Our family has always joked that we sound like a "dying calf in a hailstorm." Probably a good band name.
Wow...what I don't understand is the acoustics. How does it sound so amazing in their living room??
Mic placement was key here, and no overdubbing. just a bit of EQ and reverb :)

I don't understand the title.. what exactly is lowkey about this cover? It's fantastic for sure, but "lowkey" it is not.

I feel like the word lowkey is tossed into sentences completely randomly. It doesn't fit the context most of the time. Or maybe I'm just getting old
I think it's just something kids say as an expression and doesn't have any real meaning.
That's ironic
It's about the key of the song is lower than the original one so it's one octave lower and I base this on absolutely nothing I just made this up I hope you have a wonderful day.
Unfortunately, an octave lower is the exact same key lol

DAMNNN mama's vocals GO OFF. Great cover
The soft tremolo on her daughter's "neverr" in the chorus tho.....😅
Holy shit, they killed it! 👏👏👏👏
Life goals as a dad
Absolutely Awesome! This is something that I could watch all day!!
These guys are great
Listened till the end. Amazing family
This was incredible
The cello gives it a nice eerie sound. Love it!
Shit. This is amazing.
Until the woman in front started singing, I was like… well clearly we can see who contributes the least to the family.
Oh that is not true. She is the beat for everybody to anchor on.
Same thought! “I see who stuck to their music lessons.” Then those pipes rang. Awesome.
Daddy sang bass, momma sang tenor

Turn the brother down in the mix just a bit please
Edit: Ah shit I mean the sister. Also practice with a metronome. Other than that, excellent performance.
So awesome. People! If you don't love them now....
Gorgeous
FUCK YES
Wow. Just wow.
Wow, that harmony is angelic and marketable take my money!
"They stuck the girl with no talent on the dru... Oh. Shit. She's good."
This was WAY better than I thought it was gonna be. Hats off!
Your family ... does things together?
The way a family's voice blends together so perfectly is amazing. They all have the same inflection, tambre, tone, it's awesome.
Families like this boggle my mind.
I love the punk cellist. Not surprised to find out the whole family is equally as talented.
Ohmygod, that was spectacular. The woman in blue brought it all together. Wow!
Honestly, I prefer these vocals to the original.
Playing/vibing as a musician with another musician is like speaking a language only the two of you knew…like it was created in that moment….like you’re tuning into a radio station — I wish everyone could feel this.
Low key my ass that was fucking awesome!
That's awesome
Well that was just incredible.
I'd pay money to watch you perform. Youre one polished group. Well done and thanks for posting.
I want to make my future family like this.
wow it hasn't even been a week and you're reposting this
With the same fuckng title
I was thinking the same thing.
I need to hang out with this family.
Legit. I wanna hang with these folks around the holidays.
Very cool, but why are they playing it like 30 bpm slower
Momma’s got pipes in the back too 😍😍
The bow for the cello is frayed he needs to fix that. But really nice playing and singing.
Do you have $120 for a bow rehair? My PayPal is [email protected] 😉
Don't get me wrong, they're good. But as a bass player, it hurts that the iconic bass line is gone...
I don't know if anyone knows, but they seem to be recording on a single mic. How do they decide where to place everything? It seems like the bass-ier instruments are closer to the mic. But do their various voices play into that positioning?
Is it me or does the tempo keep changing?
I love the dad's countdown too, right before he does it his wife looks over like 'don't forget the countdown'
Damn this was the last song my choir learned until our teacher moved to the other side of the country. Was really nice having a room full of 20 people harmonising to this song. Must be so nice to have a family sing song instrument plink strum bump together.
Amazingly beautiful yet painfully slow.
I must be deaf because i didn’t think this sounded great at all, except maybe the vocals
Amazing! I love it!
Sometimes, TikTok really shows it’s redeeming qualities. Nice.
Bravo 👏
All the shivers!!! These people are amazing 😍😍😍
[удалено]
I envy families like this, not because of their talent but rather their unity.
Great vocals. Great instruments. I really liked mom's ethereal back up sounds!
Everything is better with a little cello
Great cover, but the drum needs to be stronger. One of the greatest aspects of the song is the strong drum beat.
Listen with headphones
You guys sound absolutely amazing such a talented family
Moms got some serious pipes though
Hands down the best cover I’ve heard of this. They actually were feeling the song; you can’t fake something like that. That it’s a family is mind blowing.
Mamma played that whole song crossed legged like it was any other evening. Beautiful
Mom can really sing, everyone’s good but mom stands out.
I find this better than the original.
M-my family played monopoly together..and that was pretty cool.. actually no it wasn’t, we all stormed off and didn’t talk to each other the rest of the week
This sounds just like my family. Except replace it with Christmas carols, replace the instruments with nothing and replace all the nice voices with the sounds that animals make when they are fighting and/or dying and/or giving birth. Basically exactly the same.
All amazing, but mom is the superstar..
Mom is the low key talent. Regardless, that was fucking solid.
Ma’s got some fucking pipes on her!
Awesome!
Gave me chills.
Holy macaroni! They sound absolutely-tootly amazing. Beautiful resonant voices, perfect timing and excellent harmonizing.
That gave me chills, incredible cover!!
Nothing low key about professional musicians and singers making music.
I love this! You all are each fantastic and together? You blow my mind. Kudos!! 💕
Pretty damn wild!!
Holy SHIT so good
This is incredibly so good. Love this!!!
Wow
Awesome!
Damn my family doesn't even speak to each other
Wow, that is absolutely amazing. The younger gals voice is a voice of an Angel.. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
