What Once Was - The Story of Her's

- This is a video I've been meaning to put out for quite a while. It's a different approach compared to the other stuff I've previously put out, but it is one that I was passionate about when I was working on it. I had made this originally for a project in one of my courses, but then I wanted to further expand upon the concept. The result is what you see before your eyes. It is meant to be a tribute to the band Her's and if there is anything I want you to take from this video, it is that I encourage you all to listen to their songs. Please do so as I hope their music remains relevant for years to come.

Such a sad history to tell, two big guys with such carisma stuck in the modern past for a lot of us that knew they history too late, the fear of became a nostalgic track it's something that keeps me thinking about her's such a lovely band, god bless them
We drove past the unfortunate spot where the tragedy occurred on the 10 Highway in Arizona and paid our tributes with a small bunch of flowers. RIP Stephen and Auden.
I am nearly 60… old lady…. But was so moved by their sad ending that I listened to their music. I continue to do so.
Hey! You’re not OLD - I’m slightly ahead of you. Taken to see The Beatles live as a small child, I have loved so much music over the years - and seen great bands live - I absolutely love the music of Her’s - and I mourn the loss of such young and talented musicians and human beings.
The first song I ever heard of theirs was Harvey. I listened to it over and over and over again. Then I listened to their albums and there wasn’t a single song I disliked. Her’s were my top artists on Spotify in 2022, their music was mesmerizing and beautiful. Sometimes I’m sad because of all the music that they could have created if they were still here or that I’ll never get to see them perform live, but but looking back at all the hours I’ve spent listening to them and how much those songs mean to me, I realize they did more than enough. Thank you so much Her’s. I’ll never forget what once was
Seriously, same story here. Knew about Harvey then was surprised that they do not have a single song that isn’t immaculate.
Crazy how big they got after they passed, I only wish they could see how far their music has made it.
“That was it? That was it. That is how it goes.” Perfect sentence to end off with.
This band would’ve done so well, I wish I could visit an alternative universe where I could check out all the music they could’ve made.
There are tears in my eyes, I miss them so much. The soundtrack to my first year of high school. I remember the day they passed, God they were gone too soon. Many years later they remind me of being younger and listening to Songs of Hers on the bus home. They sound like the sunset and falling in love for the first time. I will never stop wondering what they could’ve produced in the future
I discovered them about a year after they had passed, truly sucks they were sooooo close to achieving their dreams. It’s crazy how many people are aware of their music now.
your transistion into their live performance of "what once was" gave me chills, god bless
I recently got a tattoo in honor of Her's! Everyone should listen to their music.
I cannot believe that this my first time hearing about the tragic car accident. It's really unreal. Like so many others I too fell in love with their sound and their music was like a ray of sunshine amidst some really heavy and challenging times. I'm incredibly sorry for the loss of these two humans and that they will never go on to write more music, but I'm so grateful for what once was and what still is and will be a lasting joy for myself anyone to come who will discover their work. Thank you for this passion filled tribute to an amazing band that will not soon be forgotten.
its been years, and you're still here, keeping them and their legacy alive. thank you, keep resting well ste and audun.
i always get this weird feeling when listening to them. It’s like they are still here. i don’t know if it’s like i’m not accepting the fact they are gone or what but when i listen to them i just get this euphoric feeling and i feel like they are still here. What happened to them was not fair at all. everyone talks about what they could’ve been, but we should continue celebrate them and “what once was.” They may be gone, but i believe they most definitely live through their music. You’ve depicted this amazing duo in such a great way. Thanks man❤
I get that feeling when thinking about my lost loved ones, too. No one really dies. All souls live on… for the body expires, but the soul must live on.
I still can’t fathom that they’re gone. I always expect something new to pop up on their spotify page
I’m crying rn I wish I got a chance to listen to them live and enjoy more music of them making over the years. It was way to soon for them to leave.
i remember the week I discovered them was the week of their death. 'You dont know this guy' immediately meant so much to me and I asked my brother when their next concert was so maybe I could meet Laading and ask about the bass line. He broke the news to me I was so sad :(
i wish they could've atleasy finished "some nights", the live version is already so good, so sad we didn't get to hear the complete version
Discovered them at 16 now I'm 23. Years truly do fly by. They were strangely, even if I've never met them personally close to my heart. I've always hoped to see them live one day. And the fact that moment will never come. Not gonna lie. My heart aches. For nostalgia, melancholy, for moments beautiful and difficult that i lived through. Her's will never leave my mind, so in a way..they continually live through their music. And every now and again, I'll look to the sky amidst that sweet bass line, and gentle vocals and imagine what could have been and what once was.
Thanks man for making this. Truly. Have a good one!
I got to see them live in New york city with one of my best friends. They signed my hat and I caught a rose they threw into the crowd. If it wasn't for them I would have never picked up the guitar. Now I play bass for a band. They were passionate and down to earth. They were gentle and held an endearing presence. They spilled a little beer on my friends poster and I must've dissociated a little because it felt too real. Their faces and their laughs, I felt real.
It felt good to dance to their music. It felt good to dance in the crowd. It felt good to have been able to talk to them for as long as we did. Unfortunately all the videos and fotos of that night belong to a phone that no longer exists.
Actually no, I'm going to try and recover the photos. Why not ?
Please do. Those photos are historically significant.
Did you ever recover the photos and videos? Would love to see their performance.
Listening to them always gets me soo emotional...
😞
really really well done. it’s really tragic knowing what they could have done, they truly were so damn talented. only releasing two albums and all songs being hits is unheard of. rip hers
Thank you for making this. I miss them so much. Rest in piece Her’s.
I will never never forget them :)
The band that got me into guitar. The soundtrack to my senior year of highschool. I am on track to learn all of their songs, and hopefully I’ll be able to play them and share their amazing music.
Watching this video, I had broken down in tears for the first time in a long time. Their music means so much to be and it has for the past 3 years. Not one day goes by that I don't listen to their music. I listen to them on repeat and I never get tired of it, I miss them so much. I incorporate their music in almost every aspect of my life, whether it be cleaning my room, taking a walk, or showering I always find time to listen to their music and I share it with friends and family. One song I know I will never forget is 'Harvey' It was the first song I had ever heard from Her's all those years ago, and reminds me of my best friend of 5 years. It has become a classic between the both of us and I still listen to Harvey to this day. I don't want anybody to forget about Her's story/legacy and I know I for one will always remember the name 'Her's.' May they rest in peace.🕊
Thank you for putting these all together, they're one heck of a duo. Their remarkable influential tunes, the melodious yet complex chord progressions that Stephen magically come up with alongside his iconic guitar tone, Audun's lil dances as he plays his funky bass lines, gosh they were something. Her's will be truly missed :'(
I had the chance to see them, and I hate that I never jumped on the tickets, I remember first discovering them through CZcams back when "bedroom pop" was starting to take off, and remember how different they sounded. Absolutely love them, and hope their legacy lives on forever :(
I've been obsessed with this band since I found them. Stumbled across your video and I'm so glad you made this. I'd love someone to make a full documentary or even a movie about them someday. Great video. Let's appreciate What Once Was.
It's absolutely unfair what happened to them. Rest in peace.
I’d listen to them while working on my architecture models at my university. Sleepless nights I’ll never forget.
this is such a good documentary, especially the ending, truly made me emotional 🥲
Me and my partner fell in love with the band and had seen them live a couple of times. I remember hearing the news of their deaths and I don't think I've ever been as affected by the news of a musician's death before. We just sat and cried in the car. There is such joy in their music and personalities.
Love your transitions!! They feel effortless and flow naturally. Your voice and delivery is amazing!! Great way to honor Her’s!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Started listening to them a few months back, saw this video title and thought “I love them I gotta check this out”. Was not prepared for that sad conclusion.
I’ve been playing I’ll try on repeat and singing along every time I hear it. I don’t sing in front of anyone but it puts me in a different atmosphere. When I found out what happened, it almost made me want to cry and laid there in bed with a heavy heart. It makes me appreciate their songs even more. Forever Continue to play their songs with a smile on
It's just an incomprehensible tragedy... Something I cannot fathom or wrap my head around when I see these images of such young, vibrant and passionate artists. Life is really so unpredictable...
I discover them in 2020, with Harvey's song, after listening to their entire album, I decided to do some research on them until I saw the accident, My heart broke. You could see their desire to get ahead, their desire to live, to make songs on their faces. To this day I still listen to their music, I just love it and I keep asking myself, what great things would have awaited them if they were still alive? Would their songs be as good as the first album? Probably yes, but unfortunately we won't know.
RIP all of them
Every time I hear her's (especially "what once was"), I end up crying, and having so many of these thoughts running through my mind:
I immediately fell in love with their music, the way they perform, really encapsulates so much of what I've ever tried to do with my own music, and I felt an immediate closeness to them just because I think stephen and I look like we could have been brothers!
I remember seeing that they were coming to Phoenix where I live to play at my favorite venue to play shows at, the rebel lounge. My own band had a gig planned somewhere else for that night so I was not able to go.
Then I found out it was their *last* show.
How many countless songs had left to be sung? And yet, I am always touched by the fact that the music that they DID release in the short time of the band, was truly very timeless and impactful.
oh man im so glad to have been able to see them live. they passed a week or two after the show. im happy to at least be able to watch the videos I took at the concert. love their music, I wish we could have more 😢
This is legitimately one of the best independent documentaries I have ever seen. Well edited, and it shows your attention to detail. Well done! I expect more from different musicians (regardless of genre). Well done.
- Marco
I came across their performance of what once was at Paste, I was immediately captivated by their energy and the way they danced when playing, Patrick’s vocals and Laading’s smile were infectious. Learning they died made me so unbelievably sad
Thank you for this video.
I can't put into words the odd sadness and shock I felt when I was searching for tickets to their concert earlier this year. I had just fallen in love with their music and it was an strange feeling of loss.
Even though they're gone, at least we still have the gift of their music. ❤
I love listening to all of their songs. May they live forever in our hearts
Appreciate the video. Freaking sucks what happened to them. Hopefully that better place people talk about exists.
Such a tragic loss to talented artists, I just found their music this week and I’m torn to hear what had happened to them may the rest in peace ✌️
I was in the mood for listening to their music today. I knew they passed and how much of loss of talents they both are. Their songs make me happy. I watched some of the live performance and interviews. They were definitely taken too soon
You sir have earned a sub for bringing such sweet sounds to my attention.
Her's cover of loving you is the best that I've heard so far. ❤
Harvey is a song that’s been sticking with me for a long time. Me and my girlfriend, Korryn, have been listening to the song together since we got together and it always reminds me of the amazing feeling of being together. Her’s music is truly special and it stings whenever I remember what happened them. May they rest in peace.
It's amazing how you can love someone's music with first listen so much. They became one of my few favourite bands and i just can't get over what happend and keep imagining what would happen if they would just left an hour later after the last concert :(
God, that outro “wondering what could of been but only left appreciating what once was” into the live performance of the song got me crying. Every time I listen to them I beg to know what could have become of them, they’re truly unlike any other. I will forever miss & dream of them.
Working on my own Her's Documentory/tribute and found this video. Glad to see other people are just as passionate and loving about this band as I am. Excellent video my friend I have subbed.
you summed up exactly how i feel. i can imagine them making it big, playing festivals but sadly none of us will get to see that. it's some of my favourite music but with such a tragic story. rip her's.
Saw them on that final tour in Philly. Thanks for keeping their beautiful legend alive. ✨♥️
Me and my roommates at the time saw their second to last concert together and got to meet them and were completely devastated when we found out they had passed. Such nice guys and incredible musicians. It really is tragic but they'll always live on through their music and in our hearts♥
I remember getting into them when they were still around in 2017, I absolutely loved them, I was only 12 years old but it was the one modern band I always went back to, they inspired me to learn guitar, I thought if a group of young men could start a band and make such beautiful music today i could too, it was different to listening to an old band because it felt like it was no longer possible to do that, it was so sad to hear they passed away, for a whole year I didn't even know they were already dead whilst I was wishing to see them live some day. RIP
Just found their music the other day on accident and was blown away by “What Once Was”. Then to learn shortly after what happened to them is so sad. Just like losing Brad Nowell of Sublime, these fella’s blessed us all with some good music and it was time for them to go to Heaven. I am sure they are up there jamming alongside all of the great talented musicians who have passed. RIP mates.🙏✝️🎸
Dont you dare be racist and say anything bad about the gut that hit them!!! You bigot!! Diversity is our strength!!!!!!
I had seen them just a few nights prior as they started their us tour. It was an amazing show!! My best friend wanted to stay and talk to them, I was exhausted and wanted to leave but we waited and were some of the last people inside. They talked to use for a few minutes and signed my friends arm. I’m so glad she insisted we tell them how much their music meant to us. So incredibly sad, they had so much left to create 😭
such a gutting story. RIP lads, you'll forever be missed
this video is great. rest in peace guys
This is beautiful! Thank you for creating. Rest in peace guys.
if i ever need to cry i watch one of their live videos, especially the radio shows or the one on the boat. its so bittersweet watching them have a blast doing the thing they love without them knowing that one day they will never be able to pick up their Rickenbacker and jazzmaster.
R.I.P.
I found these guys in the last 2 years. They were true talent. Such a well formed band from the start. It's a tragedy on so many fronts. The trajectory for these two was clearly set to send them to the top. Even though I was late to discovering them, I am so appreciative of the work they did. The more I listen to them, the more I feel the pain of their loss, and the more I grow to love what they gave us before they left.
Thank you for making this
awesome video, possibly your best one yet! even your voice sounds like it’s been upgraded! Absolutely loved this Nando, keep it up! 🥳 her’s definitely has that mac demarco/Ariel pink/Homeshake/MGMT vibe to it. I had no idea that they were in an accident or passed away, that’s heartbreaking, thanks for sharing this 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
crying over this their music means so much to me praying i get to see their concert i heaven
every time i hear their songs and hear something about them, my heart just breaks. they were so talented and i will continue to listen to them for the rest of my life
Beautiful video, bravo man💛
DUDE! I was literally watching one of your videos right before you commented! What are the odds of that?
@@macnand0 haha perfect timing! Stars aligned ⭐️
always will be one of my biggest inspirations on music, those two were underground legends, i wish i could had met them :( i'll miss them
Amazing video. Absolute favorite band. They’re the only artist that still hurts to think ab. I love covering their music on my tiktok. Rip my heros
this is so sweet
I never thought I could feel so sad over people that I’ve never met. Music truly speaks to the heart and their energy and passion will live on forever through their music. They will always be a band I wish I could’ve seen live. RIP guys
thank you for making this video ❤
I stayed away from this video cuz I knew I would be sad again if I watched it it this was beautiful thank you and long love hers
so stoked someone made this, well done. when i tell someone that the artists have passed they are always surprised.
This is awesome. Thank you.
ive heard a few songs before, but i started diving into their music this past week, wondered why they havent made any more great music since Invitation to Her’s, a friend of mine told me what happened while at work, watched this video the next day, now i can just appreciate the greatness they released while they were still here. i wish i had heard them sooner, but even after just a week i am thankful for the music they created.
Fizeram parte da minha adolescência, sempre vou lembrar de suas musicas ❤️
Hope this video blows up. Good job man
Spectacular video, if you keep telling informative great stories like this you are destined to grow large
I was a Fan from the very first album of hers, 2017. It hurts to know these two positive people who made amazing music and had beautiful hearts won’t ever come back. Rest in peace to everyone in the wreck.
Great video, and a great band. Thanks for this!
So beautiful! It's always nice to find a group of people that feel the same way about things as yourself
awesome video, i can’t wait to grow old with these songs
thank you so much for making this. sometimes i can't help but shed a few tears when listening to their songs. their sound is so beautiful and unique. it gives me all kinds of feelings, whether it be pure joy with Speed Racer or kind of a euphoria with What Once Was, you could tell they put their souls in their music. still can't believe it's gonna be 4 years that these two happy lads left us. really wish we had the chance to see what could've been, but, I really appreciate what once was. Rest in Peace, Stephen and Audun. hope you guys are still together making music wherever you are 💐
Thank you for making this. Have been listening for some years and ill never forget when i found out what happened. Sometimes its hard to listen without shedding a tear 🥰
Great job on this 👍 Thank you.
Excellent video. You captured the beauty of this eternal duo. There music and fans will live forever. In there memory🙏
The potential of this band were immeasurable.
I've been listening to them for a few years now and I only just now learned about Sundog from this video. Thanks for making it and putting the information out there. Her's still lives on through their timeless music and amazing fanbase that I'm glad to be a part of.
What a tragic unfortunate event, they deserved fame and recognition. The talent was out of this world, so organic natural and not easy to be mimicked. All good things come to an end some sooner than later. I hope they resting in peace and jamming out!
Discovered them by accident last year. What once was playing over a random video I was watching. And I had to find it. Started listening and absolutely loved their music. Heartbroken about what happened. But love how their fans keep their music going ❤️ Great video!
Thanks for the video mate, Her´s songs thrive throughout us, we will always be remembering her, I will dance in my wedding one of their songs, thanks boys
Fantastic presentation
Thank you for this,all the fans for this beautiful band we grateful the others can know them and listen your amazing songs.
Thanks for making this
Thank you to you for making this video and thank you to them for making their music
Beautiful video honoring these two brilliant individuals and their premature departure. Ending with a video i have watched again and again but this time it hit harder
Thanks for the video. The band had a great influence on me, i was even thinking of waiting outside their next venue to speak to them (I wasn’t old enough to get in).
Sometimes the songs don’t sound the same, knowing their fates, but it holds a place in my heart 💜
Great video man. Thanks
