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...".
This Love
Roomie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The fire burning in her eyes
The chaos that controlled my mind
Whispered goodbye and she got on a plane
Never to return again
But always in my heart
This love has taken its toll on me
And her heart is breaking in front of me
I have no choice cause I won't say goodbye anymore
I tried my best to feed her appetite
Keep her coming every night
So hard to keep her satisfied
Kept playing love like it was just a game
Pretending to feel the same
Then turn around and leave again
This love has taken its toll on me
She said Goodbye too many times before
And her heart is breaking in front of me
I have no choice cause I won't say goodbye anymore
I'll fix these broken things
Repair your broken wings
And make sure everything's alright
My pressure on your hips
Sinking my fingertips
Into every inch of you
Cause I know that's what you want me to do
This love has taken its toll on me
She said Goodbye too many times before
And her heart is breaking in front of me
I have no choice cause I won't say goodbye anymore
In Roomie's song This Love, he sings about a love that has taken its toll on him. The first verse describes how he failed to recognize the fire burning in her eyes that was a sign of the chaos that controlled his mind when he was high. He remembers her whispering goodbye while boarding a plane, and while she may never return, she will always hold a place in his heart. The chorus repeats the phrase "This love has taken its toll on me," signifying that the relationship has been emotionally taxing. She had said goodbye too many times before; however, he refuses to say goodbye again as he does not have any other choice, seeing her heart break in front of him.
In the second verse, Roomie tries his best to appease her by feeding her appetite and keeping her satisfied every night. However, it was hard to keep up with her expectations, and he had to pretend to feel the same way she did. In the end, he kept playing love like a game and subsequently turned around and left her again. The final stanza represents Roomie's last attempt to fix their relationship by repairing her broken wings and ensuring that everything is alright. It ends with the same chorus line, signifying that he is in too deep and will try to make the best of it by being the better man in their relationship.
Line by Line Meaning
I was so high I did not recognize
I was too lost in my own world to notice the passion in her eyes
The fire burning in her eyes
The intense emotion she felt and wanted to share
The chaos that controlled my mind
The distraction and confusion in my own thoughts
Whispered goodbye and she got on a plane
She left without any fanfare, leaving me behind
Never to return again
She was gone forever
But always in my heart
I could never forget her
This love has taken its toll on me
My heart has been battered by this relationship
She said Goodbye too many times before
She had repeatedly broken up with me in the past
And her heart is breaking in front of me
I can see how hurting she is
I have no choice cause I won't say goodbye anymore
I cannot leave her, because my heart doesn't want to let go
I tried my best to feed her appetite
I gave everything I could to make her happy
Keep her coming every night
I wanted to keep up the romance
So hard to keep her satisfied
But it was difficult to make her content
Kept playing love like it was just a game
I pretended like it was nothing serious
Pretending to feel the same
Acting like reciprocating her same passion
Then turn around and leave again
Picking up and leaving her, once my heart couldn't handle it anymore
I'll fix these broken things
I'll try to repair the damage of our relationship
Repair your broken wings
I'll heal her broken heart
And make sure everything's alright
I'll guarantee that everything will be okay now
My pressure on your hips
I'll show my affection physically
Sinking my fingertips
Touching and closing body gaps
Into every inch of you
Making sure that every part of her is loved
Cause I know that's what you want me to do
Because I know that's how to show my love for her

Thanks! No one should ever stop playing piano - rather, everyone should learn to play piano with all of their limbs! I can play with my third leg (it's an actual leg).
