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...".
Worth It
Roomie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With you when you couldn′t stand it all
And when you had too much, girl I picked you up
And I put you on a pedestal
I knew we had time but you let go
Now all you got left is an echo
Gave it all I had but you didn't though, no
Hearing that you talk about me, think about me
Even though we′re over
'Cause it won't be the same with somebody else
So was it worth it? (Worth it)
Are you happy now?
Was it worth it? (Worth it)
Does it feel the same?
Pretty lies get you where you want
Hope you′re moving on now, ′cause I'm already gone
Oh, oh
Was it worth it? (Worth it)
Are you happy now?
Oh, I broke your fall, made you feel so tall
When you gave up on your medicine
Pulling you up, it was never enough (never enough)
I knew we had time but you let go
Now all you got left is an echo
Gave it all I had but you didn′t though, no
Hearing that you talk about me, think about me
Even though we're over
′Cause it won't be the same with somebody else
So was it worth it? (Worth it)
Are you happy now?
Was it worth it? (Worth it)
Does it feel the same?
Pretty lies get you where you want
Hope you′re moving on now, 'cause I'm already gone
Oh, oh
Was it worth it? (Worth it)
Are you happy now?
In Roomie's song "Worth It," he sings about a past relationship that seemed to have been worth it at the time, but now he questions whether it was worth it or not. The lyrics suggest that he had put in a lot of effort into the relationship, even when his partner was going through tough times. He stayed up with her when she needed him, picked her up when she was down, and made her feel taller when she was falling. But despite all his efforts, the relationship still ended, and now he is left wondering if it was all worth it.
The chorus line, "So was it worth it? Are you happy now?" implies that he is questioning the value of the relationship and whether his partner is satisfied with how things turned out. He also mentions the concept of "pretty lies," which suggests that he may have been misled or deceived at some point during the relationship. However, despite the pain and heartbreak he experienced, he acknowledges that he has moved on and hopes that his partner has done the same.
Line by Line Meaning
I used to keep you tight, staying up all night
I used to be there for you, even late at night
With you when you couldn′t stand it all
I supported you through tough times
And when you had too much, girl I picked you up
I helped you when you were overwhelmed
And I put you on a pedestal
I thought highly of you
I knew we had time but you let go
I thought we had a future, but you gave up
Now all you got left is an echo
All that's left of our relationship is a memory
Gave it all I had but you didn't though, no
I put in a lot of effort but you didn't reciprocate
Hearing that you talk about me, think about me
I hear that you still remember me
Even though we′re over
Despite the fact that our relationship is finished
'Cause it won't be the same with somebody else
Nobody else will be able to replace me in your life
So was it worth it? (Worth it)
Was our relationship worth it?
Are you happy now?
Are you satisfied with how things turned out?
Does it feel the same?
Is your current situation comparable to our past relationship?
Pretty lies get you where you want
False promises can help you achieve your desires
Hope you′re moving on now, ′cause I'm already gone
I hope you're able to move on because I already have
Oh, oh
Vocalization that does not carry any meaning
Oh, I broke your fall, made you feel so tall
I helped you overcome your problems, and made you feel good about yourself
When you gave up on your medicine
When you needed to lean on someone else to cope with your issues
Pulling you up, it was never enough (never enough)
I tried to lift you up, but it wasn't sufficient
Hope you′re moving on now, 'cause I'm already gone
I hope you're able to move on because I already have
Was it worth it? (Worth it)
Was our relationship worth it?
Are you happy now?
Are you satisfied with how things turned out?
