It Was Worth It - Acoustic Version

Hey guys,

We're still working on the main version of "It Was Worth It" (added more vocals and stuff) but meanwhile I recorded this acoustic version! I really like it, maybe we should record some real strings as well tho??

Yeesss I completely agree! <3

Leah Miranda

I listen to the other versions so many times, and this version makes me feel like I’m listening to this song for the first time. It’s already so beautiful as it is. Thank you for sharing, Joel. Hope you’re doing well :)

Bua (mintteafortwo)

Still a favorite - exited for the final version - but this acoustic version is giving loads of feelings🥰

Lebuwi

Well done! I got emotional🥲 Definitely gonna be my favorite song from you!

Hayden (Cheeseface)

beautiful 🖤 🥲

xtina 🖤

It’s a beautiful song. In my mind I hear cellos. I think they would suit the feel and mood

Shiny

I love this version! It felt intimate and emotional. Well done, friend. 🥹 🥰

Trisa

Wow so powerful, Joel! Thanks for this ♥️ I think this version is perfect this way.

Giovanna Garbino

Also, yes would love to hear a version with strings!!

Miriam

Wow, I really love this version. I can definitely hear and feel the emotion behind the words. 💜

Miriam

Oh the heartache, beautiful beautiful song

Brandt

Im obsessed with song. One of your best songs for sure

Nessa

A Little Cover is still the newest song when I check Spotify as well.

Melissa Rogers

Wooahh, chills! Totally different vibes! It’s like the two versions are two different flavours of emotional now lol. Love this song so much. I’m curious to hear how it would sound with strings!

Rainbowz Grace

Best version, thank you ♥️

Franceska

Love this version 💜 violin(?) could be amazing to this too, but it's very emotinal and beautiful as it is

Nina L

Beautiful, but still a really sad song. What kind of strings? A bass, violins, or a viola? I can almost hear each one and where they could be placed. Am interested in where you would place. I'm grateful for this version. The extra voices are placed perfectly. This is better than the original. Sort of personal and intimate way of expression. ✌️❤️😂

I didn't even get the Spotify notification and this version of It was worth it or the previous song Roomie posted isn't on my Patreon song list. The Little Cover is still the last song that I have on that list. I don't really know what is the problem or how to fix it. When this happened with the previous song I tried to find some update or synchronize button...but well I suck at this kinda stuff.

Pretty and touching version 🎶🥰 Real strings could be a nice touch.

JustSomeJK

It sounds great. A 'cello would be a fantastic addition to add to the melancholic undertones. I thought I caught a hint of a digital version at one point, but either it was subtle or I was imagining it!!

Kate Quantrell

Again, reminding me of Michael McDonald. (That's a compliment - another boy that got his heart broke and channeled it into song.)

Valerie Tisdel

The intro sounds like Lewis Capaldi “Before you go” 🤭 As much as I love the sped up version, this is another side that makes it more impactful? 10/10 🔥

Aubrey Danielle

Oopps.. 😂😂

Sounds beautiful! But since you mentioned the strings, I'm curious now how it might sound with them

N M

I agree!! But ssshhhh, don’t tell him, we don’t want his head to swell. 😆😆

Melissa Rogers

Love this version! Your raw vocals sound even more amazing. So happy you made an acoustic💖

Naomiskyyy

Exactly! It's amazing how we all love the 3 + demo versions. I really do think this song is one of Joel's excellent ones. He's a genius~~💜

♠️ Aslyn Jobry ♠️

Okay. I think the same thing happened with another song not too long ago. Someone else mentioned it that time. Unless I’m remembering wrong. (Which is possible, it’s after 1 a.m. for me.) Thank you so much for another beautiful song. 🙏🏻 Good night, Joel.

Melissa Rogers

And this song is proof that it can work either way, beautifully. And still gets the melancholy, brokenhearted feeling of the words across. Imo

Melissa Rogers

Right. Sometimes a different version can be your favorite version. We have 3 different versions of this one and I enjoy them all for different reasons

Lianne Conroy

weird! Give it a little time

Joel Berghult

Depends on one's liking I guess? I'm quite open to different interpretations of a song. Some prefer the original. Like example, I've heard nightcore versions of some songs and I'm like noooo.. original sounds better. But I do agree sometimes a stripped down version works well on some songs.

♠️ Aslyn Jobry ♠️

@Roomie I got the notification from Spotify about this song being posted under your Patreon exclusive page, but when I clicked on it, it said that “page can’t be found”. 🥺 I am glad that I/we can listen to it here. 😁

Melissa Rogers

It’s beautiful, isn’t it?! 🫠🥰

Melissa Rogers

Yas!! Exactly!!

Melissa Rogers

Yes, agree with you, Melissa! Having both versions will be so awesome! When I go to live concerts, I've always love how the artiste/band would play their usual version and when comes to encore moments, they'll play acoustic version. It gives me different feelings but equally beautiful!

♠️ Aslyn Jobry ♠️

I thought I couldn’t like this song any more…wow I love this version

Alle Engdahl

This is beautiful as an acoustic version. Of course I’m looking forward to hearing the main version that you’re working on. In both versions, I can hear and almost feel the pain in your voice. Like I said when you first previewed the “real vocal” version, the grit in your voice when you sing “worth it”…the feeling right there is really powerful and shows through. Also, when you finish the other version, are you planning on releasing it?! Maybe under Lil’ Pitchy, or Roomie Demos?! 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Honestly, (only if you want to, of course) i would love to put all three versions in my Roomie playlist on iTunes. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Melissa Rogers

I know sometimes it can be boring. But a simple stripped down version occasionally can be fantastic

Lianne Conroy

Wow. Really love this version. It sounds more melancholy this way. Would be interesting to hear it with strings too. 💕

Dorie

agreed, in some ways I think this is a version that gets the point across better

Joel Berghult

OMG! I really love this! Yes to real strings, cajón etc please! Please share chords/songsheet if possible. Gonna put this on loop mode already~~💜

♠️ Aslyn Jobry ♠️

Oooh! Love this acoustic version. Feels really homey, cozy, and genuine. The lyrics really shine with the simplicity.

Courtney Walker

Really awesome! I like it as acoustic.

Melissa
