Joel attended the Ljungskile College of Music, concentrating on jazz drumming in 2007. However, he was still attracted to rock music, and during his college time, he also improved his singing, music production, and instrumental talents beyond drumming.
Berghult started his YouTube channel in 2010. In 2014, he rose to prominence by uploading a series of celebrity singer impressions. The first of which was titled "One Guy, 14 Voices" which became the first of Berghult's many viral videos. The next year Berghult released a follow up "One Guy, 15 Voices" in August 2015. He was subsequently invited to perform on Nyhetsmorgon in September 2015, followed by Good Morning America that October. The most recent of the series, released in 2017 is "One Guy, 43 Voices (with music)" which has over 96 million views and is Berghult's most viewed video as of December 2022.
In 2014, Berghult began to release music with fellow Swedish YouTuber PewDiePie (who is also a Gothenburg native). The single "His Name is Pewdiepie" was released in 2014 and was made using samples of PewDiePie's voice; later that year, "Fabulous" was released, followed by "Brofist" in 2016. In 2019, Berghult again teamed up with PewDiePie and longtime collaborator Boyinaband on the song "Congratulations". The song peaked at number one on the US Comedy Digital Track Sales published by Billboard and has over 200 million views on YouTube as of 2021.
In December 2019, Berghult uploaded daily videos as part of a series called "Daily December". In response to positive feedback, he continued releasing daily videos. He grew discontent with the daily upload schedule, and announced a hiatus from YouTube on 11 June 2020, which lasted until 22 July. On 20 July 2020, while still on break, Berghult released an album single "Livin' For That" on Spotify under the name "Lil Pitchy". The album consists of the song "Livin' For That", plus its instrumental and a cappella versions. On 31 May 2021, Berghult announced another hiatus from YouTube. He cited fatigue from uploading daily videos, and wanting to shift focus to larger-scale projects. He ended that hiatus on 28 September, with the video "We Bought 100 Microphones To Do This...".
Perfume
Roomie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is there still longing there?
Oh I hate myself, and I feel crazy
Such a classic tale
Current girlfriend, ex-girlfriend, I'm trying to be cool
Am I being paranoid? Am I seeing things? Am I just insecure?
It's just you and me
Sometimes it feels like there's three of us in here, baby
So I wait for you to call
And I try to act natural
Have you been thinking 'bout her or about me?
And while I wait I put on my perfume,
Yeah, I want it all over you
I'm gonna mark my territory
I'll never tell, tell on myself but I hope she smells my perfume
I'll never tell, tell on myself but I hope she smells my perfume
I hide it well, hope you can't tell but I hope she smells my perfume
I hide it well, hope you can't tell but I hope she smells my perfume
I wanna fill the room when she's in it with you
Please don't forget me
Do I imagine it, or catch these moments?
I know you got history
But I'm your girlfriend, now I'm your girlfriend trying to be cool
I hope I'm paranoid, that I'm just seeing things, that I'm just insecure
I want to believe
It's just you and me
Sometimes it feels like there's three of us in here, baby
So I, wait for you to call
And I try to act natural
Have you been thinking 'bout her or about me?
And while I wait I put on my perfume,
Yeah, I want it all over you
I'm gonna mark my territory
So I, wait for you to call
And I try to act natural
Have you been thinking 'bout her or about me?
And while I wait I put on my perfume,
Yeah, I want it all over you
I'm gonna mark my territory
I'll never tell, tell on myself but I hope she smells my perfume
I'll never tell, tell on myself but I hope she smells my perfume
I hide it well, hope you can't tell but I hope she smells my perfume
I hide it well, hope you can't tell but I hope she smells my perfume
The lyrics to Roomie's song Perfume centers around a love triangle where the singer is in a relationship with someone who still seems to harbor feelings for their ex-girlfriend. The singer is caught between being cool about the situation, paranoid and insecure about their partner's feelings towards their ex. The singer is waiting for their partner to call them and is putting on perfume, hoping that the scent will stick to their partner's skin, marking their territory and making their presence known. The singer is worried that their partner's ex-girlfriend is still a significant factor in their relationship, and they fear being sidelined.
Roomie's lyrics paint a vivid picture of a complicated and tense relationship. The singer's insecurities and concerns are palpable in the song's emotional delivery. Roomie's use of repetition in the chorus adds to the song's intense emotional impact. The lyrics can resonate with anyone who has been caught in a love triangle, unsure of where they stand in their relationship.
