And Nolan actually did write most of the song. At the show, Nolan talked about how he wrote the song “(minus the verse he didn’t play),” but “he never played it himself so he thought it’d be fun,” as the video uploader explains.

Of course, this isn't the first time Nolan has covered Brand New. Back in 2015, Nolan shared his take on two Brand New songs: “Limousine” from Brand New's revered 2006 release The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me and “Okay I Believe You, But My Tommy Gun Don't” from 2003's Déjà Entendu.
