Wish we could turn back time
YouTuber Overwatch musician has made a number of Jeff covers for popular songs, but the latest of Kaplan covering Twenty One Pilots might be one of their best.
As with all other Jeff covers, they used various clips cut together to make him sing the song, which was almost everywhere when it came out in 2015.
“Uncle” Jeff is the real-life personification of Overwatch for a lot of fans.Overwatch musician admitted they had some trouble putting this together, but other than some rough transitions in the first half of the video, it’s definitely a work of art.
What could Jeff be reminiscing about? When Mercy had Rez as her ultimate, or maybe he’s thinking about when the game used to be entirely no limits?
The world may never know.

Never change, Overwatch fans

The project was only possible by using the Overwatch Workshop, which has already produced mountains of content since it’s release and shows no signs of slowing down.
