That was not a rant, that was a homage. Your joy, love and enthusiasm are just a delight. I am so glad that I'm getting to experience your re-discovery of Dirty Loops. This is the first Loops song I ever heard and needless to say I've never looked back and never been disappointed. For what it's worth I've always thought of "Next to You" as Dirty Loop's "Bohemian Rhapsody."
Next To You is, to this day, still the best song from Dirty Loops in my opinion. It's like their thesis on how to turn jazz fusion into a pop song familiar enough for any listener. It's filled with chops from all of them, Jonah, Hendrik and Aron. But it's also a such a beautiful tune! There's a certain simplicity to it that makes me go back to this song every once in a while. It's not like some of their other songs (World on Fire, Work Sh*t Out for example) where the theme is mostly a showcase of their musical skills. This one is a pop song at heart, and they nail it. I can't get that "doo doo do doo doo" from the tagline after the chorus outta my head!!!
Thank you! What an EPIC tune! Man, I struggled to find the words to express what I was feeling because it goes beyond words as you know. I can’t wait to hear more!
@@hecdavid11 each song seems to have a life of its own and this has more than anyone could hope for. To fuse pop and fusion influences is something very few have been able to do. DL has found a way!!!
I experience the Loops very much as you do, and I commented quite a while ago that this was their Bohemian Rhapsody (or in a more primitive vein, the Beach Boys' Good Vibrations). Not trying to one-up you, I'm just thrilled by everything you wrote in your comment.
@@theoriginalthinkman5897 No one-upmanship perceived at all. I'm psyched that somebody else caught that same energy and power that I was picking up on. It is one heck of a song. So glad that one was my first!
Had to come back and hear that masterpiece again. It's an astonishingtour de force. I realise today in 50 years, listening to tens of thousands of tracks, its the best song I've ever heard. The creativity, composition, diversity of genres, production, soul, musicality, musicianship - it's got everything. It's almost too rich for the senses. Thanks for sharing your reaction to this work of art - it makes listening to it in appreciative company even more thrilling, educational and entertaining.
I felt the same way as you listening to this song the first time. I was totally floored and flabbergasted.... how is it possible to write this kind of music??? And the execution!?!?This IS definitely something new. Dirty Loops is the most wellbalanced band out there, geniuses all 3 of them. When You sad " these guys give me hope" I started crying!!! I love your channel and your genuine way of expressing yourself. Regards from a fellow Dirty Loops fan and a former wannabe-musician from Sweden😃👍
Sir I'm in the UK & I have to tell you I'm so thankful for Your intelligent, moving, thoughtful and articulate reactions to Dirty Loops. I honestly didn't think anyone else responded to the gift of their musical creations with tears and a full heart...but you do. Your comments & genuine reactions born of your own musical skills & experience lift me up, cheer my soul & in equal measure make me so thankful for the kind of person you seem to be. Keep it up please-your awesome ! & many thanks for the "feels" with great appreciation for others talents...it says so much about you. Greets & best wishes from the Uk 🇬🇧 to You.✌😊
No matter the genre...if you had emotions during the song, you experienced the exact thing the artist was trying to convey. Thanks for admitting you had a tear in your eye. Dirty Loops does that to me often.
Your sentiments are mine as well. I'm pushing 70 and I've been a Musician 60 of those. I too have been profoundly affected by these three young brilliant Musicians. Rarely has a band in my 60 years impressed me the way Dirty Loops has. I'm not going to state the obvious regarding their Musicianship, individually or as a band. It would be redundant of me. However, I can sum up my feelings by saying that I truly believe that I am in the presence of greatness. Miss Morissette Amon, a young and beautiful 24 year old Singer from the Philippines, whom I believe to be the greatest Pop Singer alive, has affected me in the very same manner. It does my heart and soul good to know that the future of Music is in very good hands indeed. Le😎 de los Reyes 🇵🇭 🇺🇸 Percussionist / Drummer "Ameruba . . . music and percussion ensembles"
Hey Jeff. I just want to thank-you for your heartfelt reactions to Dirty Loops. I also wept when I watched this song. Pretty much for the same reason you did I think. I've also wept for everything else by them. I too am an older Gtr. player. I started playing on stages in 1972. I was very lucky to have been in bands that have opened for some of my favorite bands over the years. (TOP, AWB, Doobies etc. The singer in one of my earlier bands is now singing for Chicago. His name is Neil Donnell. In spite of all the nice things I've done, I too had lost a lot passion for music. I've only known about D Loops for about 6 months. I am angry that none of my musical friends told me about them. I came to them by accident by watching WolfPeck with Cory Wong which led me to the boys. I watched Work Shit Out first, cryed, and like you, my faith in music was restored in the future of music. Thanks again for your passionate embrace of this wonderful amazing band who actually smile when they play just like we did back in the day. Also on a personal note, If you do get another chance to talk to any of the boys, (I've seen your chats with Jonah) (great stuff). Could you please thank them for bringing so much musical joy into this difficult world and restoring the musical passion in another older Gtr. player who really needed it. Keep up the great work Jeff.
Dave, my brother, you could have been my bandmate if we lived in the same area. Your experiences are very similar to mine! I continue to keep in contact with Jonah on a regular basis and I'm happy to pass on the sentiment. I'm not sure how deeply you have delved into my videos but if you haven't seen my interview with Jonah it's a must! Hey man if you have any of your music somewhere I can hear you play please let me know. I hope you hang around on the channel for awhile, us old guys gotta stick together. LOL!
@@StrateleStudios Thank-you so much for your quick reply Jeff. I have seen all your Jonah interviews, great stuff. I've also seen pretty much everyhing you done with them or their side projects. How can Jonah be that talented, that humble, so nice and so giving? I've also seen interviews with Henrick and Aron. The same thing. My Daughter and I are both convinced they've hidden their Spacecraft outside Stockholm in a cave. As far as video evidence goes, I'm all over You tube. Mostly older stuff but some good bands (not dirty-loops good but what is?) Check out a band from Halifax N.S. called "Oakley" I got to open for a lot of great groups with that band. Another amazing singer I played with was Frank Mackay. Amazing voice. World class. I'm in a bunch of videos with him. (i'm the guy jumping around a lot) ( I now have 2 hips that I was not born with). Just for fun, check out one we did in "83. It's called Frank Mackay at the Biilly Club. I look like Weird Al Yankovic for some reason. It also features (in my humble opinion) the best Blues drummer and bassist to ever come out of Canada. If your on Face-book, I have some other stuff from later on. Again Jeff, thanks so much for your passionate reactions, your love of the Loops, and for taking the time to get back to me. Where would I find a way to contact you other than this forum? Hope to talk to you soon. Thank's again. Dave G.
@@davegallant987 I’ll definitely check these out. I’ve never seen anything like what Dirty Loops does. It’s overwhelming in the best possible way. Ya man you can email me anytime at stratelestudios@gmail.com.
Hey Man. Please feel free to Show us your Emotion. It‘s a good Thing to bring it up in Front of us. You are a Hero. Thanks for your comments in this Video. Blessings from Germany.
Three cool cats from Sweden having a good time. Seriously, I have over the last 50 years listened to a lot of good music in the soul/ funk department. MJ, George Benson,Level 42, Chaka Khan, Luther Vandross, Lisa Stansfield, Malcolm McDonald, Anita Baker, QJ's epic "Dude" album with James Ingram and Patti Austin to name a few, but never have I been so euphoric about a new group as I am with DL. It seems that there music style hits all the right buttons in my body/brain and I can't get enough, it is truly addictive. For me the pinnacle era music wise was the 80ies and after that the music quality has gradualy declined but DL gives me hope for the future (and I'm not saying this because I am a Swede myself). Their music simply knows no boundaries, it is universal.
I relate to you comment so much. To grow up experience music in the 80s was an incredible experience that stays with me. It's been a long time since I've been THIS excited about music. My hat's off to Sweden!!!
Powerhouse funk, rock-steady gospel, and Cecil B. DeMille all in one epic opus, fronted by one of the most amazing vocalists of our day (who "doesn't consider himself a singer!") I'm SO glad I didn't "die before I [got] old." Can't wait to hear the rest of your excellent interview with Jonah!
Jeez...you have a tear in your eye, I'm still crying 😢. No song has ever had so much production put into it. When Quincy Jones backs you...your on the right road 💖
Just mind blowing! This was an early video for me, since then I’ve done nearly every song they’ve released and interviewed Jonah. You have plenty to watch my friend!
this is one of the best and most authentic reaction videos i ever saw. i just love it. your words and emotions desribe perfectly my feelings as i heard it for the first time. speechless, thankful that music like this exists and that these guys are sharing it with us. and this song is one of the biggest proof that its totally rubbish, when old musicians (like you and me...:) ) are sometimes saying: "baaah, there is no good music these days. in earlier times everything was better." its a pure myth and it will be often "prooved" with charts of earlier days. and as a proof they took out one of the rare weeks where occasionally some really good stuff was accidentically on top of the charts, which was pretty rare in the "good old days" too... in fact "next to you" is the best ever written pop songs at all to me personally. to combine so different styles in such a way is an absolut masterpiece. sorry for queen (s bohemian rhapsody) who stay on top of my list for decades (its of course still a genius song...). and i am extremely happy these days that dirty loops come to germany this year. and i am going to travel through nearly the whole (oh yeah, we are small, but i am hella old!!!: ) country to get them life. thank you for your reaction and your words!
Seeing you react with such joy and respect and reverence for the quality of the music is worth more than I can ever tell you. Ever time I hear these guys I feel blessed. Keep spreading your joy for such great music. Please! I am a musician and I know EXACTLY what you are feeling and saying.
Thank you my friend! Yes, I love following these guys and other incredible artists. That what makes working on this channel so much fun to work on! 😃🎊🎉👏🫶
You getting a tear in your eye due to the awe experienced while watching this song (in particular, tho there are others) means you *GET* it Jeff. Music is _also_ supposed to move us like this, like you experienced. You know this better than I of course, being a musician for 40yrs as you mentioned. Cheers my friend, you're amplifying their joy _AND_ your own by sharing your reactions, and we're all the more lucky and grateful because of it!😊
Thank you so much! I have arrived at a place where music transcends language, space and time. I struggled to put into words what I was feeling cuz you really can’t. The beauty I experience from listening to their music (especially THIS song) is nothing less than a glimpse of heaven. That’s the only way I can put it.
I've just come back to re-listen to this wonderful reaction you did. It is still a joy. I am shocked by one thing though. How is it possible that you have a mere 12k plus subscribers? You bring such honesty, knowledge, enthusiasm to your videos and they are so high quality to boot. This is just wrong people. Oh TH-cam gods give this humble man the many thousands of subscribers he has earned and deserves.
"Next to you" should be in a Broadway musical. The Phoenix album is just amazing with a different feel in every song. They are so talented and i'm so happy they are creating this kind of music when most of the music today is mainly mainstream and not that interesting. I also like your reactions as they are a true reaction from a real musician. Keep up the good work!
Man, these guys go straight to my heart. Like I was saying I’ve heard so much music in my life and it gets harder and harder to find music that’s interesting. When I found these guys I couldn’t believe it. I still can’t believe how they continue to improve.
Music has allways been my way of connecting and understanding. It's the bridge of generations and the soule of humanity. We all like different kinds of music, but we all like music that touch us. Your reaction is a very feelgood reaction to a very feelgood song.
It's the 4th time today... I have matters to digest.... Mozart when he heard J.S.Bach for the first time, he said: "Finally, I'm going to learn..." He was hearing some liturgy musical fugues of J.S.Bach. Well, with them, I'm hearing jazz, funky, hippop from one rythme to double tempo, to triples.... Spiritual choirs, orchestral modulations, some Steeve Wonders.... And they synthesize it... Each of them virtuoso, the singer/pianist with knowledge to synthesize all of it. Wonderful Bass & Wonder drummer... what a trio!!!
If you haven’t seen my interview with Jonah you should check it out. He talks about their process. 🤯 It’s in 3 parts, this is the first… th-cam.com/video/6LCFasB8-oE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Kh7PxV62RhSSabdn
What an amazing reaction! Subbed for more and I would absolutely LOVE to see your reaction to Marcin, a Polish percussive guitar virtuoso, only 24 years old and already dubbed the best acoustic guitarist in the world. Steve Vai himself attended his sold out concert in LA in June. You won't regret it! A great song to start with would probably be Kashmir or Carmen Habanera.
At the beginning when you looked surprised and then 5 seconds later watching you get into the groove bobbing your head and body and making that stinky face....yeah...they're that good!!!
I'm a bit late to the "reacts" party, but really enjoyed your authentic reaction and insightful comments. Similarly to you, Dirty Loops' tracks and this one in particular have re-invigorated my love for music and have inspired me to pick up the sticks again after a few years of apathy. Long may these guys continue to make music that feeds the soul and brings joy!
Seeing you so happy makes me happy too 😃 Besides their music and joy playing always making me happy! A beautiful song I very much like is ”It hurts”. Also ”Breakdown”. When you are not in the upbeat mood.
I'm discovering those guys just now ('cause i saw the dirty loops book behind you in another video you made). This is fantastic. Reminds me Uzeb, Toto and Metheny (for the kb solo :p) at the same time. Quite a technical festival ! And with energy, motion and emotion... Thank you so much for this new discovery !
I hear you. I find myself on an emotional roller coaster in each and every one of their songs. They never fail to surprise. I can enjoy their music as background during my days and be so uplifted - but when I sit down and actively listen I go bananas with emotion. Was listening to them in the car the other day (loud!) and let's just say I'm glad I still have my drivers license. Again, thank you! Cheers 🎵🎶✨
When i was young and started to work as a chef, my boss told me” No one rejoices in another's happiness" seeing you makes me happy, i don’t believe in that saying.
Oh, I believe you CAN rejoice in another's happiness for sure. I do it all the time. hahaha. I'm glad you do too! I just noticed you are into CNC. I'm a Specialist Software Engineer for GibbsCAM. :)
I truly believe in what you said. Being happy for and with someone else is an amazing feeling! 💖 Watching reaction videos is like that, isn't it? 😁 Sharing our love for music... 🙏😄💙
I had to watch this after listening to your great interview with Jonah. Really lovely reaction. Thanks! I am also a big fan of DL. Their music has everything.
Thank you so much! I’m so glad I was able to capture this as I had no idea what I was in for. I sometimes come back to this video and it still chokes me up. 🥺
I am totally with you!! I was floored when I heard their Samsung “ring tone” and have been a super fan ever since! I’m old now - 67 - music has been a central feature of my life about 62 of those years - and I still sing with big bands, septet. Dirty Loops reduces me to tears with their splendor. If I logged a nickel for every listening minute I’d be loaded by now. They are such a gift to existence and I’m truly grateful. I continue to be astounded by them. I love your genuine commentary. Thank you!!
Thank you so much Julie. You get it! It really brought me to tears. Potentially life changing for those who hear it! It was for me and for you as well.
Totally agree. I turn 70 soon, and in my lifetime of enjoying music of all kinds, this is so very exciting. I love everything these guys do. As a bass player virtually turned to stone by watching Henrik's mastery, yes he is more than half a rhythm section. He is half an orchestra, percussion and harmony, filling arrangements with interesting ideas at lightning speed. In actual awe at how they come together as an ensemble.
This the 2nd time visiting your reaction and you put everything I feel very elegantly. You show you're being touched emotionally which is a true testament to your own musicality. Keep it up!
Great reaction! We feel you man. So fun - i played Next to you to my dad last week, first time he heard DL, and when i told him they're playing live in our city next week he just said "let's go!". So wednesday next week is our first DL concert live!
That, for sure, was NO rant! As much as I love Dirty Loops, I loved every second of your talk at the end too! That was a reaction worthy of the song! Thanks!
@@StrateleStudios So amazing to see a musician get choked up by the sheer musicianship and the FEEL that these guys can bring. Everything is so unbelievably beautiful, yet intricate and complex at the same time, and though I'm a musician myself I couldn't even keep the beat to this with a maraccas to save my life. I've met Henrik quite a few times in other music contexts and through friends, and he's SO nice. Love your channel, everything feels so genuine, keep it up. Cheers from Sweden.
@@johannest3628 Thank you so much for your kind words, it means a lot to me. They all seem like great guys. I’ve been fortunate enough to have conversations with Jonah via Instagram messaging and he is so incredibly kind and thoughtful. Love these guys!
@@StrateleStudios That's so cool. That's what sharing and experiencing music should be all about, very happy to hear that. You have a great day, Sir. 😁
LOVED your reaction and totally felt the same but without quite your musically-literate ability to articulate what you felt and thought about it. It feels that in that eight minutes, all of the possibilities of music are in there and there is nothing to be said except to let the feeling envelop and wash over you until you slowly descend from the cloud of happiness it leaves you floating on.
I talked to Dirty Loops 2013 in Lund, Sweden. I told them to never NEVER stop playing! Now their music is in my ears every week and making me smile and feel. Maby the best music in the world right now. ❤☕
Wow, Jeff. Great reaction. Sharing your entusiasm. This is mind-blowing! I think I have heard this song 50 times now. Dirty loops - you have to hear them all - simply put - them all.
Amen. I thought I was the only person to show emotions after hearing this song. It brought tears to my eyes. I felt like it suppose to be a deep down southern gospel track. Oh man sooooo good.
Thank you for subscribing! I was blown away that Jonah saw this and responded to it. I’ve been messaging with him 🤯🤯🤯. I’m going to comment about it in my next video. The guys is so freaking nice and down to earth!!!
Every Dirty Loop song brings me joy in waves (or maybe loops). First wave of joy is simply the catchiness of the song, the joy of hearing a really good song. The second wave of joy is to marvel at their skills, the arrangements, the musicality, the complexity and the extremely well enginereered, mixed and mastered sound (and videos). The third wave of joy is to see how easy and playful it seems, how fun it seems, to kind of experience their joy of performing the song. And then, lastly, the joy of watching others experience the same thing through all reaction videos. I never really watched reaction videos before this, but now I'm kind of addicted - and this one, to see you, an experienced and skilled musician, react and get the same overwhelming feelings from their performance as I and many others have experienced, is truly a gift of joy. Thanks you!
Thank YOU for this amazing comment, Ludvig! You words are so on the mark and touching and I’m so glad you found this channel! I hope you continue to watch and comment as a skilled musician that you no doubt are! Welcome!!! 👊👏👍🤝🤗
Loved when you said “these guys give me hope.” I feel the same way. Although Dirty Loops may not be everyone’s cup of tea (idk, maybe too complex to absorb for non-musical listeners), I’d be shocked if their absolutely phenomenal musicality and skill wouldn’t be appreciated and respected by all.
It would be wonderful if they were able to bridge that gap…not many Pop/Jazz fusion bands out there. All I know is that it makes ME very happy, hahaha.
I love Dirty Loops. The bassist and drummer are just so tight and in the pocket, they can each do all the fancy stuff but the foundation is rock solid. Then the singer is just incredible with an incredible range as well as being a great keyboard player. They are so technically gifted, but they make it look so effortless and fun and they obviously throw some of their jazzy influences in but it always remains melodic with hooks at accessible to the non-musician or people who don't understand all the theory which often makes jazz fusion inaccessible to the lay person.
i really love your reaction videos. i know you really love music. i have tears in my eyes. forget the lyrics... music can make me feel like this. i love u dude. you are amazing. dirty loops is my favorite band.
So good to see a Muso reacting, and NOT stopping the music! My reaction was identical to yours the first time I heard this song. Absolutely identical. And I felt all your feels as you heard it. Subscribed!
Thanks for the sub! I’m with you on the stopping thing, I cannot find it within myself to stop a beautiful piece of music to hear my goofy voice! 😄 I’ll save that to the end out of respect to the music. Thanks again, Jahn!
@@StrateleStudios Dude, every time I hear that ending, the way it's arranged, I know that they've earned the eight minutes before it happens. Those last few bars, never mind the eye widening stuff that happens before it...
Finally got to this one, not sure how I missed it! I’m right with you brother, it’s difficult to imagine it getting any better, these guys make me wonder what the heck I’m doing…
When i play this to family members and friends some say "doesn't do anything for me". I will never understand this and I just sort of feel sorry for them that they can't see how amazing Dirty Loops are
Oh I totally know what you mean. For years I’ve been listening to this kind of stuff in seclusion because no one else around me seems to get it. Then I create a TH-cam channel and voila, I have a ton of new friends who feel the same as I do. 😊😊😊
Вот и я слушаю эту песню в одиночестве, и меня разрывает от эмоций, и до сих пор было не с кем разделить это. Благодарю вас за вашу реакцию. У меня тоже дело дошло до слёз
From Lottie Wiklund: A brilliant thing about that choir? It's just Jonah. All of it. Henrik said this about it in an interview in Bass Magazine: “Then at the last minute, Aron wrote the gospel choir parts. He sent a very funny demo in which he marked where all the different gospel parts come in and what kind of voice they had. When Jonah recorded them, he had a chalkboard with all the different characters in the choir, and he distorted his voice to match each character and so none of them would sound like him.” !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh I definitely cried the first couple of times I first watched/heard Next To You! It was like a spiritual experience! 😄 BTW you might be delighted to know that Jonah watched your video and commented on it on his Instagram stories. He said it made him cry 💖 😢 In my experience, these guys are so authentic and nice to their fans... 🙏😄 Love your reaction, I would love to see you react to old songs even if it's not for the first time... 😁
You get it! Can I tell you how blown away I was to find that he watched and commented on my video on his Instagram account?! What’s even more insane is we’ve been message back and forth. 🤯🤯🤯 I’ll fill everyone in with the next video!
@@StrateleStudios Here's a deliriously happy rant for ya! Woah! That's amazing! Next time you message, pass along our gratitude for all they put into their music! It always leaves me speechless, grinning from ear to ear, soul happy, & teary-eyed at the beauty. Much like you. I'm not kidding, I show people their music all the time on my phone. Last week it took every ounce of fortitude I had to stop myself from chasing down the guy who delivered our siding from Lowes & asking him, "Have you heard this?!" I'm sure he'd have been alarmed at a 52 year old housewife fan girl of a band he hadn't heard of chasing him down the driveway! Maybe the music would have kept me outta jail! Lol! Oh dear. Someday I'm gonna be committed to the haunted asylum, shouting, "IS SHARING MY JOY OF MUSICAL GENIUSES A CRIME NOW?! LISTEN TO THIS SONG!" LOL!
@@StrateleStudios When my father died, Jonah's song Borrowed Time meant a lot to me. I sang it as a way to work with my grief. I wrote to Jonah, because I wanted to express my gratitude. I didn't think he would even read it, much less reply to me! A very authentic, humble and kind man, as they seem to be all three of them.
I've been listening to Dirty Loops a lot over the past few years and their latest stuff is insanely well made. You should listen to the rest of the "Phoenix" album by them, every song is top tier. Next To You is my personal favourite and I am also lost for words about this song. My only wish is that they get more popular and perhaps even mainstream, because they deserv every moment "on the stage"!
@@StrateleStudios It reminds me your reaction to Eivor "Falling free". You were speechless. I, behind my computer, was shaking, sweating and crying like never before while listening to a piece of music. This is what music is all about...bringing emotions to people. Should we mention "Lingus", "Trinity" or "Shofukan" by those Snarky Puppy musicians ? Naaaa ! We both know it's not necessary ! 😂😂😂 However consider discovering FLOX who explains how he's been working for 40 years (th-cam.com/video/k1GBsYOMu_w/w-d-xo.html) as a musician, composer and producer. And, last but not least, you have to discover this band ELECTRO DELUXE (th-cam.com/video/ZQU4KT0PCCA/w-d-xo.html) Thank you for what you do.
You experience the Dirty Loops very much the way I do. I am having a difficult time appreciating anything that doesn't measure up to their genius! And when you become emotional over this masterpiece, my eyes are tearing up right along with you……just as they do every time I listen to this! I love that you focus so much on Jonah's brilliance since as a keyboardist myself, he's almost beyond my ability to comprehend. Another factoid, Jonah comes from a very musical family and was singing gospel and playing piano at 11. Thank God he persisted!
If you have a soul how can you NOT tear up listen to this? It's funny because when I rewatch my videos to make sure I haven't screwed something up before posting I've notice some discrete gestures I do based on what I'm feeling (I had no idea I was doing). One of them is in the thumbnail of this video when I'm sitting back with my hands over my mouth because I'm so overwhelmed with beauty and I surrender. Man, what a feeling that is. So glad to have you on my channel, my friend.
I just heard "Turbo" from their latest album with that same title... get your head blown OFF! Prince and James Brown are dancing their soles off in heaven for SURE ;-) + you get multiple solos!!!
Dirty loops is by far the most amazing group of artists I've come across the last decade. Everyone is so damn talented. Not just on the instruments, but the writing as well.
Thank you Jeff for the best reaction to My country men Dirty Loops so far, ever!!! Your reaction to Music is clearly genuine and I Love it! I'm looking forward to more of your stuff💕🇸🇪
Hey now, don't sweat the rant. It's an amazing thing when you can listen to music and feel it deeply. I love it when I do. There's a handful of guys out there that will do it to me every time. Dirty Loops is one of them, maybe not every track, but most of em.
Has there ever been a band that’s combined this level of world class talent with such a catchy sound before? I honestly can’t think of any. This is music I can actually play for my friends without them looking at me sideways!
@@StrateleStudios they're operating on an entirely different level in terms of musical and compositional capability! Their music is incredibly sophisticated and yet highly accessible. You don't have to be a musician to love Dirty Loops' music, but if you are you'll appreciate it in a way that's above and beyond how the casual listener is hearing it. That's why I so loved your "tear in my eye" reaction at the 9:05 mark. I was similarly affected by this song the first time I heard it. It's so far beyond ANYTHING that passes for popular/mainstream music these days that it's nearly impossible to not have an emotional reaction upon hearing it for the first time.
You appreciate the beautiful side of it, but as a musician you appreciate you are witnessing something unique which is rare AF in this form. AMAZING !!!
Its like these guys created a band that was a bit better than every other band out there, then made it 100 x better. They are incredible. Your reaction was the best, man. You moved me.
What a great reaction this is - and great song. That "controlled chaos" at the end of the song feels as though the band are battering the confines of our 3-dimensional universe, as though our mortal existence and mortal brains are too narrow for the explosive, expansive musical imagination and expression. The divine, creative spark is strong with these three.
I´m so lucky that I found your channel, because my perception of their music is so mirrored by your reaction. Keep on doing this mate!!! And... you definetely don´t have to put a time stamp on top for skipping your intro - we are here for it !!! ;-)
Next to you is one of my favourites songs. For all. Awaiting you do their quarantine songs "Song for Lovers" - Bitten by the Kitten (Aron & Henrik. Instrumental) - Coffee break is over (Jonah, Henrik & Aron - Instrumental) - Pink power (Aron & Henrik. Instrumental) And my favourite of the series .. - OLD ARMANDO HAD A FARM (Aron & Henrik - Instrumental) As someone write in their comments: "Aron: Ah man, the banjo player can't make it today. Henrik: All good. I got my bass. I'll take it from here..." P.S.. if you want a little more fun with their songs.. You should read the end credits. They have funny little hidden gems...
Love Dirty loops, they are the best . . . By the way, you are a beautiful person, you have a pure soul, only pure souls can be moved to tears. Love from the Netherlands.
Same reaction with me when I heard it for the first time. Dirty Loops is definitely one of the best pop fusion-gospel bands right now. Thanks for reviewing sir! ❤️
This song has reminded me that there is nothing better than real people, playing real instruments. This drummer has been given the gift of time by Our Creator, and uses that gift to make this band swing like few I've heard lately. Plus, those vocals.........
That was not a rant, that was a homage. Your joy, love and enthusiasm are just a delight. I am so glad that I'm getting to experience your re-discovery of Dirty Loops. This is the first Loops song I ever heard and needless to say I've never looked back and never been disappointed. For what it's worth I've always thought of "Next to You" as Dirty Loop's "Bohemian Rhapsody."
Next To You is, to this day, still the best song from Dirty Loops in my opinion. It's like their thesis on how to turn jazz fusion into a pop song familiar enough for any listener. It's filled with chops from all of them, Jonah, Hendrik and Aron. But it's also a such a beautiful tune! There's a certain simplicity to it that makes me go back to this song every once in a while. It's not like some of their other songs (World on Fire, Work Sh*t Out for example) where the theme is mostly a showcase of their musical skills. This one is a pop song at heart, and they nail it.
I can't get that "doo doo do doo doo" from the tagline after the chorus outta my head!!!
Thank you! What an EPIC tune! Man, I struggled to find the words to express what I was feeling because it goes beyond words as you know. I can’t wait to hear more!
@@hecdavid11 each song seems to have a life of its own and this has more than anyone could hope for. To fuse pop and fusion influences is something very few have been able to do. DL has found a way!!!
I experience the Loops very much as you do, and I commented quite a while ago that this was their Bohemian Rhapsody (or in a more primitive vein, the Beach Boys' Good Vibrations). Not trying to one-up you, I'm just thrilled by everything you wrote in your comment.
@@theoriginalthinkman5897 No one-upmanship perceived at all. I'm psyched that somebody else caught that same energy and power that I was picking up on. It is one heck of a song. So glad that one was my first!
Had to come back and hear that masterpiece again. It's an astonishingtour de force. I realise today in 50 years, listening to tens of thousands of tracks, its the best song I've ever heard. The creativity, composition, diversity of genres, production, soul, musicality, musicianship - it's got everything. It's almost too rich for the senses. Thanks for sharing your reaction to this work of art - it makes listening to it in appreciative company even more thrilling, educational and entertaining.
Thank you Kiat! "Too rich for the senses"...damn I wish I had come up with that! :)
Kiat, great comment. Even another year on you’re speaking for me as well 🙏
I felt the same way as you listening to this song the first time. I was totally floored and flabbergasted.... how is it possible to write this kind of music??? And the execution!?!?This IS definitely something new. Dirty Loops is the most wellbalanced band out there, geniuses all 3 of them.
When You sad " these guys give me hope" I started crying!!!
I love your channel and your genuine way of expressing yourself.
Regards from a fellow Dirty Loops fan and a former wannabe-musician from Sweden😃👍
I absolutely love this comment! Thank you for your words they mean a lot to me. I’m so glad you’re on my channel because I can tell you get it 💯%!!!
Dirty Loops are never boring. They’re GOATS 🐐! I’ve been amazed by them since 2010 and they keep me sane.
When music moves you to tears.... that feeling. Can not replace it. With anything.
Your enthusiasm and joy moved me to tears. I have heard this song a million times and it was like hearing it the first time.
You feel what all of us musicians feel when we hear real music. I cry from music that is real all the time…real music!
Nothing taps my emotions like music. What a blessing to have that kind of connection with anything in this lifetime. ❤️
Sir I'm in the UK & I have to tell you I'm so thankful for Your intelligent, moving, thoughtful and articulate reactions to Dirty Loops.
I honestly didn't think anyone else responded to the gift of their musical creations with tears and a full heart...but you do.
Your comments & genuine reactions born of your own musical skills & experience lift me up, cheer my soul & in equal measure make me so thankful for the kind of person you seem to be.
Keep it up please-your awesome ! & many thanks for the "feels" with great appreciation for others talents...it says so much about you.
Greets & best wishes from the Uk 🇬🇧 to You.✌😊
Stumbled upon this page and couldn’t be happier. There’s nothing like a heartfelt reaction like this!
Ah man, thank you!!!
Check out my interview with Jonah Nilsson! 😃
No matter the genre...if you had emotions during the song, you experienced the exact thing the artist was trying to convey. Thanks for admitting you had a tear in your eye. Dirty Loops does that to me often.
Your sentiments are mine as well. I'm pushing 70 and I've been a Musician 60 of those. I too have been profoundly affected by these three young brilliant Musicians. Rarely has a band in my 60 years impressed me the way Dirty Loops has. I'm not going to state the obvious regarding their Musicianship, individually or as a band. It would be redundant of me. However, I can sum up my feelings by saying that I truly believe that I am in the presence of greatness.
Miss Morissette Amon, a young and beautiful 24 year old Singer from the Philippines, whom I believe to be the greatest Pop Singer alive, has affected me in the very same manner.
It does my heart and soul good to know that the future of Music is in very good hands indeed.

When I go out with my headphones and this song comes out, I instantly love everyone thwt crosses my path
Love this comment! ❤️
😉 it’s the Original Oxytocin Song 💛
I never ever get tired of this masterpiece. Keep coming back for more. Love DL
Hey Jeff. I just want to thank-you for your heartfelt reactions to Dirty Loops. I also wept
when I watched this song. Pretty much for the same reason you did I think. I've also wept for everything else by them. I too am an older Gtr.
player. I started playing on stages in 1972. I
was very lucky to have been in bands that have opened for some of my favorite bands
over the years. (TOP, AWB, Doobies etc. The
singer in one of my earlier bands is now singing for Chicago. His name is Neil Donnell.
In spite of all the nice things I've done, I too had lost a lot passion for music. I've only
known about D Loops for about 6 months.
I am angry that none of my musical friends
told me about them. I came to them by accident by watching WolfPeck with Cory Wong which led me to the boys. I watched
Work Shit Out first, cryed, and like you, my faith in music was restored in the future of music. Thanks again for your passionate embrace of this wonderful amazing band who actually smile when they play just like we did back in the day.
Also on a personal note, If you do get another
chance to talk to any of the boys, (I've seen your chats with Jonah) (great stuff). Could you please thank them for bringing so much
musical joy into this difficult world and restoring the musical passion in another
older Gtr. player who really needed it. Keep up the great work Jeff.
Dave, my brother, you could have been my bandmate if we lived in the same area. Your experiences are very similar to mine! I continue to keep in contact with Jonah on a regular basis and I'm happy to pass on the sentiment. I'm not sure how deeply you have delved into my videos but if you haven't seen my interview with Jonah it's a must! Hey man if you have any of your music somewhere I can hear you play please let me know. I hope you hang around on the channel for awhile, us old guys gotta stick together. LOL!
@@StrateleStudios Thank-you so much for your quick reply Jeff. I have seen all your Jonah interviews, great stuff. I've also seen pretty much everyhing you done with them or their side projects. How can Jonah be that talented, that humble, so nice and so giving? I've also seen interviews with Henrick and Aron. The same thing. My Daughter and I are both convinced they've hidden their Spacecraft outside Stockholm in a cave. As far as video evidence goes, I'm all over You tube. Mostly older stuff but some good bands (not dirty-loops good but what is?) Check out a band from Halifax N.S. called "Oakley" I got to open for a lot of great groups with that band.
Another amazing singer I played with was Frank Mackay. Amazing voice. World class. I'm in a bunch of videos with him. (i'm the guy jumping around a lot) ( I now have 2 hips that I was not born
with). Just for fun, check out one we did in "83. It's called Frank Mackay at the Biilly Club. I look
like Weird Al Yankovic for some reason. It also features (in my humble opinion) the best Blues
drummer and bassist to ever come out of Canada. If your on Face-book, I have some other stuff
from later on. Again Jeff, thanks so much for your passionate reactions, your love of the Loops,
and for taking the time to get back to me. Where would I find a way to contact you other than
this forum? Hope to talk to you soon. Thank's again. Dave G.
@@davegallant987 I’ll definitely check these out. I’ve never seen anything like what Dirty Loops does. It’s overwhelming in the best possible way. Ya man you can email me anytime at stratelestudios@gmail.com.
Hey Man. Please feel free to Show us your Emotion. It‘s a good Thing to bring it up in Front of us. You are a Hero. Thanks for your comments in this Video. Blessings from Germany.

Three cool cats from Sweden having a good time. Seriously, I have over the last 50 years listened to a lot of good music in the soul/ funk department. MJ, George Benson,Level 42, Chaka Khan, Luther Vandross, Lisa Stansfield, Malcolm McDonald, Anita Baker, QJ's epic "Dude" album with James Ingram and Patti Austin to name a few, but never have I been so euphoric about a new group as I am with DL. It seems that there music style hits all the right buttons in my body/brain and I can't get enough, it is truly addictive. For me the pinnacle era music wise was the 80ies and after that the music quality has gradualy declined but DL gives me hope for the future (and I'm not saying this because I am a Swede myself). Their music simply knows no boundaries, it is universal.
I relate to you comment so much. To grow up experience music in the 80s was an incredible experience that stays with me. It's been a long time since I've been THIS excited about music. My hat's off to Sweden!!!
Jonah shared this on his Instagram! :D
What?!!! How do it find it? I don’t see it in his Instagram page.
Found it!!! OMG!!!
Powerhouse funk, rock-steady gospel, and Cecil B. DeMille all in one epic opus, fronted by one of the most amazing vocalists of our day (who "doesn't consider himself a singer!") I'm SO glad I didn't "die before I [got] old."
Can't wait to hear the rest of your excellent interview with Jonah!
I am totally with you for this comment! :) :) :)
You're gonna love Part 2 coming up soon! :)
Thanks, Jeff. I'm back here after a year to share this with you again. This one still takes my soul to church!
This is truly a special video for me as you well know. It’s great to share it with people like you who get it too!
Jeez...you have a tear in your eye, I'm still crying 😢.
No song has ever had so much production put into it. When Quincy Jones backs you...your on the right road 💖
Just mind blowing! This was an early video for me, since then I’ve done nearly every song they’ve released and interviewed Jonah. You have plenty to watch my friend!
this is one of the best and most authentic reaction videos i ever saw. i just love it. your words and emotions desribe perfectly my feelings as i heard it for the first time. speechless, thankful that music like this exists and that these guys are sharing it with us. and this song is one of the biggest proof that its totally rubbish, when old musicians (like you and me...:) ) are sometimes saying: "baaah, there is no good music these days. in earlier times everything was better."
its a pure myth and it will be often "prooved" with charts of earlier days. and as a proof they took out one of the rare weeks where occasionally some really good stuff was accidentically on top of the charts, which was pretty rare in the "good old days" too...
in fact "next to you" is the best ever written pop songs at all to me personally. to combine so different styles in such a way is an absolut masterpiece. sorry for queen (s bohemian rhapsody) who stay on top of my list for decades (its of course still a genius song...).
and i am extremely happy these days that dirty loops come to germany this year. and i am going to travel through nearly the whole (oh yeah, we are small, but i am hella old!!!: ) country to get them life.
thank you for your reaction and your words!
Seeing you react with such joy and respect and reverence for the quality of the music is worth more than I can ever tell you. Ever time I hear these guys I feel blessed. Keep spreading your joy for such great music. Please!
I am a musician and I know EXACTLY what you are feeling and saying.
Thank you my friend! Yes, I love following these guys and other incredible artists. That what makes working on this channel so much fun to work on! 😃🎊🎉👏🫶
You getting a tear in your eye due to the awe experienced while watching this song (in particular, tho there are others) means you *GET* it Jeff. Music is _also_ supposed to move us like this, like you experienced. You know this better than I of course, being a musician for 40yrs as you mentioned. Cheers my friend, you're amplifying their joy _AND_ your own by sharing your reactions, and we're all the more lucky and grateful because of it!😊
Thank you so much! I have arrived at a place where music transcends language, space and time. I struggled to put into words what I was feeling cuz you really can’t. The beauty I experience from listening to their music (especially THIS song) is nothing less than a glimpse of heaven. That’s the only way I can put it.
@@StrateleStudios aptly put! I think you nailed it *:D* ...hope you had a great weekend my friend **^.^**
I've just come back to re-listen to this wonderful reaction you did. It is still a joy. I am shocked by one thing though. How is it possible that you have a mere 12k plus subscribers? You bring such honesty, knowledge, enthusiasm to your videos and they are so high quality to boot. This is just wrong people. Oh TH-cam gods give this humble man the many thousands of subscribers he has earned and deserves.
Awww you just made my day! 😊😊😊 That you so much! One day I hope to have 100k! 🙏
"Next to you" should be in a Broadway musical. The Phoenix album is just amazing with a different feel in every song. They are so talented and i'm so happy they are creating this kind of music when most of the music today is mainly mainstream and not that interesting. I also like your reactions as they are a true reaction from a real musician. Keep up the good work!
Man, these guys go straight to my heart. Like I was saying I’ve heard so much music in my life and it gets harder and harder to find music that’s interesting. When I found these guys I couldn’t believe it. I still can’t believe how they continue to improve.
Music has allways been my way of connecting and understanding. It's the bridge of generations and the soule of humanity. We all like different kinds of music, but we all like music that touch us. Your reaction is a very feelgood reaction to a very feelgood song.
Thank you!
It's the 4th time today... I have matters to digest....
Mozart when he heard J.S.Bach for the first time, he said: "Finally, I'm going to learn..."
He was hearing some liturgy musical fugues of J.S.Bach.
Well, with them, I'm hearing jazz, funky, hippop from one rythme to double tempo, to triples.... Spiritual choirs, orchestral modulations, some Steeve Wonders.... And they synthesize it...
Each of them virtuoso, the singer/pianist with knowledge to synthesize all of it. Wonderful Bass & Wonder drummer... what a trio!!!
If you haven’t seen my interview with Jonah you should check it out. He talks about their process. 🤯
It’s in 3 parts, this is the first…
th-cam.com/video/6LCFasB8-oE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Kh7PxV62RhSSabdn
What an amazing reaction! Subbed for more and I would absolutely LOVE to see your reaction to Marcin, a Polish percussive guitar virtuoso, only 24 years old and already dubbed the best acoustic guitarist in the world. Steve Vai himself attended his sold out concert in LA in June. You won't regret it! A great song to start with would probably be Kashmir or Carmen Habanera.
At the beginning when you looked surprised and then 5 seconds later watching you get into the groove bobbing your head and body and making that stinky face....yeah...they're that good!!!
Hahaha! Yes, you just can’t help it listening to these guys! 🤪
I'm a bit late to the "reacts" party, but really enjoyed your authentic reaction and insightful comments. Similarly to you, Dirty Loops' tracks and this one in particular have re-invigorated my love for music and have inspired me to pick up the sticks again after a few years of apathy. Long may these guys continue to make music that feeds the soul and brings joy!
Thanks Tim!
I'm Swedish and i have seen them live a couple of times and they are even more crazy live
I’m going to have to changes my citizenship to Swedish now 😄. I hope someday to see them live!!!
@@StrateleStudios we would welcome you with open arms my friend
@@fjn667 yay!!!!!
Såg dem i Lund för några år sedan. Har fortfarande hjärnskador.
@@christofferengstrom4676 hahaha, same with me
Your reaction, both heartfelt personal and professional, made me realise what a masterclass in musical composition and artistry this was.
Kiat! I love this comment, my friend. Thank you so much!!!
Seeing you so happy makes me happy too 😃 Besides their music and joy playing always making me happy!
A beautiful song I very much like is ”It hurts”. Also ”Breakdown”. When you are not in the upbeat mood.
Aw thank you!!! Even their ballads are insanely good!
I'm discovering those guys just now ('cause i saw the dirty loops book behind you in another video you made).
This is fantastic. Reminds me Uzeb, Toto and Metheny (for the kb solo :p) at the same time.
Quite a technical festival ! And with energy, motion and emotion...
Thank you so much for this new discovery !
Oh man this makes me so happy! So glad I could help you find new music to get excited about! 😃
Pure and honest ! Thanks for sharing this...
Thank you David!
Thank YOU mr, for allowing us to join in 🙏. It is such a pleasure.
Had me tear up, too.
All the best!
Awwww, I’ll tell you, I really have to hold it together to do these videos…it really really gets to me. ❤️
I hear you. I find myself on an emotional roller coaster in each and every one of their songs. They never fail to surprise. I can enjoy their music as background during my days and be so uplifted - but when I sit down and actively listen I go bananas with emotion. Was listening to them in the car the other day (loud!) and let's just say I'm glad I still have my drivers license.
Again, thank you!
Cheers 🎵🎶✨
When i was young and started to work as a chef, my boss told me” No one rejoices in another's happiness" seeing you makes me happy, i don’t believe in that saying.
Oh, I believe you CAN rejoice in another's happiness for sure. I do it all the time. hahaha. I'm glad you do too! I just noticed you are into CNC. I'm a Specialist Software Engineer for GibbsCAM. :)
Wow really, that’s what I call multitasking…
@@Rawcnc LOL!!!
I truly believe in what you said. Being happy for and with someone else is an amazing feeling! 💖 Watching reaction videos is like that, isn't it? 😁 Sharing our love for music... 🙏😄💙
I had to watch this after listening to your great interview with Jonah. Really lovely reaction. Thanks! I am also a big fan of DL. Their music has everything.
Thank you so much! I’m so glad I was able to capture this as I had no idea what I was in for. I sometimes come back to this video and it still chokes me up. 🥺
Amazing Musicians. Thanks also to you sir. 💯🎉
Thank you Japheth! 😊
I am totally with you!! I was floored when I heard their Samsung “ring tone” and have been a super fan ever since! I’m old now - 67 - music has been a central feature of my life about 62 of those years - and I still sing with big bands, septet.
Dirty Loops reduces me to tears with their splendor. If I logged a nickel for every listening minute I’d be loaded by now. They are such a gift to existence and I’m truly grateful. I continue to be astounded by them.
I love your genuine commentary. Thank you!!
Thank you so much Julie. You get it! It really brought me to tears. Potentially life changing for those who hear it! It was for me and for you as well.
They are just as tight and sonic in person! Saw them earlier this year in Silver Spring MD @ Filmore! Very outstanding!
Totally agree. I turn 70 soon, and in my lifetime of enjoying music of all kinds, this is so very exciting. I love everything these guys do. As a bass player virtually turned to stone by watching Henrik's mastery, yes he is more than half a rhythm section. He is half an orchestra, percussion and harmony, filling arrangements with interesting ideas at lightning speed. In actual awe at how they come together as an ensemble.
I so totally agree. Henrik goes beyond the call of duty on everything he plays on but in such a tasteful way.
This the 2nd time visiting your reaction and you put everything I feel very elegantly. You show you're being touched emotionally which is a true testament to your own musicality. Keep it up!
Thank you so much! I hope you stick around and watch more reactions…it’s been such a great ride watching all this incredible music. 🤝
Great reaction! We feel you man. So fun - i played Next to you to my dad last week, first time he heard DL, and when i told him they're playing live in our city next week he just said "let's go!". So wednesday next week is our first DL concert live!
Whoohoo!
Hope you both enjoyed it ☺️✌️
@@fiddlestix3025 we did! Got a t-shirt signed by Aron and Henrik after! Wish you could've been there as well. You deserve a ton of DL shows!
That, for sure, was NO rant! As much as I love Dirty Loops, I loved every second of your talk at the end too! That was a reaction worthy of the song! Thanks!
Thank you my friend 😊😊😊
Most enjoyable reaction video I've ever seen. EVER. And I'm halfway through.
Hahaha thank you!!! 😁😁😁
@@StrateleStudios So amazing to see a musician get choked up by the sheer musicianship and the FEEL that these guys can bring. Everything is so unbelievably beautiful, yet intricate and complex at the same time, and though I'm a musician myself I couldn't even keep the beat to this with a maraccas to save my life. I've met Henrik quite a few times in other music contexts and through friends, and he's SO nice. Love your channel, everything feels so genuine, keep it up. Cheers from Sweden.
@@johannest3628 Thank you so much for your kind words, it means a lot to me. They all seem like great guys. I’ve been fortunate enough to have conversations with Jonah via Instagram messaging and he is so incredibly kind and thoughtful. Love these guys!
@@StrateleStudios That's so cool. That's what sharing and experiencing music should be all about, very happy to hear that. You have a great day, Sir. 😁
LOVED your reaction and totally felt the same but without quite your musically-literate ability to articulate what you felt and thought about it. It feels that in that eight minutes, all of the possibilities of music are in there and there is nothing to be said except to let the feeling envelop and wash over you until you slowly descend from the cloud of happiness it leaves you floating on.
Perfectly said my friend! 👏👏👏🎉🎊
I talked to Dirty Loops 2013 in Lund, Sweden. I told them to never NEVER stop playing!
Now their music is in my ears every week and making me smile and feel. Maby the best music in the world right now. ❤☕
Ah man I’m with you! Thankfully they are hitting it hard right now!
Wow, Jeff. Great reaction. Sharing your entusiasm. This is mind-blowing! I think I have heard this song 50 times now. Dirty loops - you have to hear them all - simply put - them all.
Check out this playlist 😃

Thank you for putting out your emotions like this. They are just amazing I can't stop listening to them myself.
Thank you for this. ❤️
Amen. I thought I was the only person to show emotions after hearing this song. It brought tears to my eyes. I felt like it suppose to be a deep down southern gospel track. Oh man sooooo good.
We are in the same place Alliston. Words can’t describe…
Thank you for this review. So good. Just subscribed. So glad Jonah saw this video too
Thank you for subscribing! I was blown away that Jonah saw this and responded to it. I’ve been messaging with him 🤯🤯🤯. I’m going to comment about it in my next video. The guys is so freaking nice and down to earth!!!
Every Dirty Loop song brings me joy in waves (or maybe loops). First wave of joy is simply the catchiness of the song, the joy of hearing a really good song. The second wave of joy is to marvel at their skills, the arrangements, the musicality, the complexity and the extremely well enginereered, mixed and mastered sound (and videos). The third wave of joy is to see how easy and playful it seems, how fun it seems, to kind of experience their joy of performing the song. And then, lastly, the joy of watching others experience the same thing through all reaction videos. I never really watched reaction videos before this, but now I'm kind of addicted - and this one, to see you, an experienced and skilled musician, react and get the same overwhelming feelings from their performance as I and many others have experienced, is truly a gift of joy. Thanks you!
Thank YOU for this amazing comment, Ludvig! You words are so on the mark and touching and I’m so glad you found this channel! I hope you continue to watch and comment as a skilled musician that you no doubt are! Welcome!!! 👊👏👍🤝🤗
Loved when you said “these guys give me hope.” I feel the same way. Although Dirty Loops may not be everyone’s cup of tea (idk, maybe too complex to absorb for non-musical listeners), I’d be shocked if their absolutely phenomenal musicality and skill wouldn’t be appreciated and respected by all.
It would be wonderful if they were able to bridge that gap…not many Pop/Jazz fusion bands out there. All I know is that it makes ME very happy, hahaha.
Wow! This phenomenal musicianship and your heartfelt reaction brought tears to my eyes 🥺😢💞
Oh man…that means a lot to me. Thank you for saying that!
I love Dirty Loops. The bassist and drummer are just so tight and in the pocket, they can each do all the fancy stuff but the foundation is rock solid. Then the singer is just incredible with an incredible range as well as being a great keyboard player. They are so technically gifted, but they make it look so effortless and fun and they obviously throw some of their jazzy influences in but it always remains melodic with hooks at accessible to the non-musician or people who don't understand all the theory which often makes jazz fusion inaccessible to the lay person.
Absolutely correct. One of the many reasons I love them as I do.
i really love your reaction videos. i know you really love music. i have tears in my eyes. forget the lyrics... music can make me feel like this. i love u dude. you are amazing. dirty loops is my favorite band.
Thank you brother! You are so welcome here! 🫶🫶🫶
So good to see a Muso reacting, and NOT stopping the music! My reaction was identical to yours the first time I heard this song. Absolutely identical. And I felt all your feels as you heard it. Subscribed!
Thanks for the sub! I’m with you on the stopping thing, I cannot find it within myself to stop a beautiful piece of music to hear my goofy voice! 😄 I’ll save that to the end out of respect to the music. Thanks again, Jahn!
@@StrateleStudios Dude, every time I hear that ending, the way it's arranged, I know that they've earned the eight minutes before it happens. Those last few bars, never mind the eye widening stuff that happens before it...

Can this be the future of Hollander? Hahaha 🤯🤯🤯
I couldn't wait for your reaction to this and you DELIVERED EVERY EMOTION THAT I HAD.
Ah man, thank you!!!
When i play this to family members and friends some say "doesn't do anything for me". I will never understand this and I just sort of feel sorry for them that they can't see how amazing Dirty Loops are
Oh I totally know what you mean. For years I’ve been listening to this kind of stuff in seclusion because no one else around me seems to get it. Then I create a TH-cam channel and voila, I have a ton of new friends who feel the same as I do. 😊😊😊
Вот и я слушаю эту песню в одиночестве, и меня разрывает от эмоций, и до сих пор было не с кем разделить это. Благодарю вас за вашу реакцию. У меня тоже дело дошло до слёз
@Alexandra_R.19 yes it's upsetting in a way that they don't realise what they're missing
From Lottie Wiklund:
A brilliant thing about that choir? It's just Jonah. All of it. Henrik said this about it in an interview in Bass Magazine:
“Then at the last minute, Aron wrote the gospel choir parts. He sent a very funny demo in which he marked where all the different gospel parts come in and what kind of voice they had. When Jonah recorded them, he had a chalkboard with all the different characters in the choir, and he distorted his voice to match each character and so none of them would sound like him.” !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG really!!! This is awesome! Thank you for this comment! :)
Oh I definitely cried the first couple of times I first watched/heard Next To You! It was like a spiritual experience! 😄
BTW you might be delighted to know that Jonah watched your video and commented on it on his Instagram stories. He said it made him cry 💖 😢 In my experience, these guys are so authentic and nice to their fans... 🙏😄
Love your reaction, I would love to see you react to old songs even if it's not for the first time... 😁
You get it! Can I tell you how blown away I was to find that he watched and commented on my video on his Instagram account?! What’s even more insane is we’ve been message back and forth. 🤯🤯🤯 I’ll fill everyone in with the next video!
@@StrateleStudios Here's a deliriously happy rant for ya!
Woah! That's amazing! Next time you message, pass along our gratitude for all they put into their music! It always leaves me speechless, grinning from ear to ear, soul happy, & teary-eyed at the beauty. Much like you. I'm not kidding, I show people their music all the time on my phone. Last week it took every ounce of fortitude I had to stop myself from chasing down the guy who delivered our siding from Lowes & asking him, "Have you heard this?!" I'm sure he'd have been alarmed at a 52 year old housewife fan girl of a band he hadn't heard of chasing him down the driveway! Maybe the music would have kept me outta jail! Lol! Oh dear. Someday I'm gonna be committed to the haunted asylum, shouting, "IS SHARING MY JOY OF MUSICAL GENIUSES A CRIME NOW?! LISTEN TO THIS SONG!" LOL!

I've been listening to Dirty Loops a lot over the past few years and their latest stuff is insanely well made. You should listen to the rest of the "Phoenix" album by them, every song is top tier. Next To You is my personal favourite and I am also lost for words about this song. My only wish is that they get more popular and perhaps even mainstream, because they deserv every moment "on the stage"!
I totally agree! I hope more and more people catch on. THIS is the kind of music I’d love to hear more of in the years to come.
@@StrateleStudios They put the bar VERY high for successors ´cause they literally lived by building their skills together for years...
Your emotion says it all ! Thanks for your expertise and I've never seen or heard anything like this !
So glad you found this! 😊😊😊
@@StrateleStudios It reminds me your reaction to Eivor "Falling free". You were speechless. I, behind my computer, was shaking, sweating and crying like never before while listening to a piece of music. This is what music is all about...bringing emotions to people. Should we mention "Lingus", "Trinity" or "Shofukan" by those Snarky Puppy musicians ? Naaaa ! We both know it's not necessary ! 😂😂😂
However consider discovering FLOX who explains how he's been working for 40 years (th-cam.com/video/k1GBsYOMu_w/w-d-xo.html) as a musician, composer and producer.
And, last but not least, you have to discover this band ELECTRO DELUXE (th-cam.com/video/ZQU4KT0PCCA/w-d-xo.html)
Thank you for what you do.
Utterly enjoyed your reaction!!!
Awwww thank you Anissa! 😊 check out my interview with Jonah Nilsson if you haven’t yet!
loved the heartfelt rant! i feel exactly the same way bro! these dudes are legendary
Absolutely legendary! Man, I just find it hard to believe people are actually making music like this. 🤯🤯🤯
You experience the Dirty Loops very much the way I do. I am having a difficult time appreciating anything that doesn't measure up to their genius! And when you become emotional over this masterpiece, my eyes are tearing up right along with you……just as they do every time I listen to this! I love that you focus so much on Jonah's brilliance since as a keyboardist myself, he's almost beyond my ability to comprehend. Another factoid, Jonah comes from a very musical family and was singing gospel and playing piano at 11. Thank God he persisted!
If you have a soul how can you NOT tear up listen to this? It's funny because when I rewatch my videos to make sure I haven't screwed something up before posting I've notice some discrete gestures I do based on what I'm feeling (I had no idea I was doing). One of them is in the thumbnail of this video when I'm sitting back with my hands over my mouth because I'm so overwhelmed with beauty and I surrender. Man, what a feeling that is. So glad to have you on my channel, my friend.
I just heard "Turbo" from their latest album with that same title... get your head blown OFF!
Prince and James Brown are dancing their soles off in heaven for SURE ;-)
+ you get multiple solos!!!
O M G!!!!! I will definitely do this song, I have not heard it yet!
Dirty loops is by far the most amazing group of artists I've come across the last decade. Everyone is so damn talented. Not just on the instruments, but the writing as well.
It’s amazing how these three incredibly talented guys found each other! It’s a Super Group!
Thank you Jeff for the best reaction to My country men Dirty Loops so far, ever!!! Your reaction to Music is clearly genuine and I Love it! I'm looking forward to more of your stuff💕🇸🇪
I had no idea Swedish musicians were so damn good!!!!! 👏👏👏
Jonah Nilsson just posted about your reaction on his instagram stories!
My mind was blown to see that! Now we are messaging each other! I’ll fill everyone in with the next video! 🤯🤯🤯
Awsome review. Felt the same. Agree hope for music today.
Hey now, don't sweat the rant. It's an amazing thing when you can listen to music and feel it deeply. I love it when I do. There's a handful of guys out there that will do it to me every time. Dirty Loops is one of them, maybe not every track, but most of em.
Thanks Buddy!
Has there ever been a band that’s combined this level of world class talent with such a catchy sound before? I honestly can’t think of any. This is music I can actually play for my friends without them looking at me sideways!
Totally accessible Jazz Fusion, huh?! 😂 They really do make it easy for any level of listener to enjoy!
As a musician as well and even with a gospel background this song is so tight and moving it is phenomenon and moves you
This my absolute favorite Dirty Loops song. It's an epic composition that seamlessly migrates between multiple genres!!
That’s one thing that blows me away about these guys. Is seems so effortless but I know how hard it is to pull this kind of thing off! 🤯🤯🤯
@@StrateleStudios they're operating on an entirely different level in terms of musical and compositional capability! Their music is incredibly sophisticated and yet highly accessible. You don't have to be a musician to love Dirty Loops' music, but if you are you'll appreciate it in a way that's above and beyond how the casual listener is hearing it. That's why I so loved your "tear in my eye" reaction at the 9:05 mark. I was similarly affected by this song the first time I heard it. It's so far beyond ANYTHING that passes for popular/mainstream music these days that it's nearly impossible to not have an emotional reaction upon hearing it for the first time.
All of their songs do that crossover thingie tbh...
THE best reaction I’ve seen. Exactly what I was feeling! Class
Ah man thank you so much Gary! 😊😊😊
You appreciate the beautiful side of it, but as a musician you appreciate you are witnessing something unique which is rare AF in this form. AMAZING !!!
You are 💯% correct! ☺️👏
@@StrateleStudios th-cam.com/video/BDECFlSj_Es/w-d-xo.html Henrik at a jam ) thats where he learn the crazy :D
@@kz1630 two bass players!
Its like these guys created a band that was a bit better than every other band out there, then made it 100 x better. They are incredible. Your reaction was the best, man. You moved me.
Hahaha you are totally right! Thank you so much!!! 🤝
What a great reaction this is - and great song. That "controlled chaos" at the end of the song feels as though the band are battering the confines of our 3-dimensional universe, as though our mortal existence and mortal brains are too narrow for the explosive, expansive musical imagination and expression. The divine, creative spark is strong with these three.
Your love for music is awesome - great reaction!
Thank you so much!!!!
I´m so lucky that I found your channel, because my perception of their music is so mirrored by your reaction. Keep on doing this mate!!!
And... you definetely don´t have to put a time stamp on top for skipping your intro - we are here for it !!! ;-)
My friend, this comment made my day. Thank you so much! Much more to come! 😃😃😃
I like ur reaction... U can feel music
Just love your reaction! ❤️ Can't agree with you more. You are discovering them just as I did coming back and forth. Them growing with every song.
Man, I loved them before…now I’m freaking out on them lol. I can’t wait to hear more!!!
Next to you is one of my favourites songs. For all.
Awaiting you do their quarantine songs "Song for Lovers"
- Bitten by the Kitten (Aron & Henrik. Instrumental)
- Coffee break is over (Jonah, Henrik & Aron - Instrumental)
- Pink power (Aron & Henrik. Instrumental)
And my favourite of the series ..
- OLD ARMANDO HAD A FARM (Aron & Henrik - Instrumental)
As someone write in their comments:
"Aron: Ah man, the banjo player can't make it today.
Henrik: All good. I got my bass. I'll take it from here..."
P.S.. if you want a little more fun with their songs.. You should read the end credits. They have funny little hidden gems...
"Old Armando Had a Farm" is EPIC! It's definitely my favorite from that project.
I’ll definitely be getting into these songs! 👏❤️🎉🎸
100000% this song still moves me the same way and I’ve heard it so so so many times. It’s pure magic and just hits in the best way.
It’s like taking a ride at an amusement park! I just want to keep getting on again and again! 🎢
I Know what you feel. The first time I saw them, tears of happiness came out involuntarilly. They bring me hope in humanity again.
You get it 💯% that’s how I feel as well!
This songs gets better and better every time. Very enjoyable reaction!
Right?!! Thank you!!!
Love Dirty loops, they are the best . . . By the way, you are a beautiful person, you have a pure soul, only pure souls can be moved to tears. Love from the Netherlands.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You are awesome, honest, truthfull, and we ferl your love for music. thanks!
Aw man thank you so much Luís!!!
Same reaction with me when I heard it for the first time. Dirty Loops is definitely one of the best pop fusion-gospel bands right now. Thanks for reviewing sir! ❤️
I agree 💯% 😊😊😊
This song has reminded me that there is nothing better than real people, playing real instruments.
This drummer has been given the gift of time by Our Creator, and uses that gift to make this band swing like few I've heard lately.
Plus, those vocals.........
I so totally agree with you!
Jeff, this is the best reaction video i have ever seen! Bravo!
I can’t tell you how much your comment means to me. Thank you so much, Guillermo!
Love your enthusiasm for this band ...they hit me the same way about 8 months ago
I’ve loved them for awhile but getting into their new stuff is completely mine blowing!!! 🤯
Can’t wait for when the next vid’s from Turbo will be released. With DL the visuals is adding so much more than only how they play their instruments.
Totally agree!
I had the same reaction as you when I watched this video for the first time. Musical, spiritual journey.
So damn good!!!
you are literally the only guy on YT who gets the divine insanity of this musicianship.It's them and Snarky Puppy and then a lot of empty space...
Thank you! Check out my interview with Jonah the singer. 🫶
the keyboard solo in the best Pat Metheny style😱
you've got their whole debut album left to react to too, it all goes in the same vein as Next To You/Rock You/Follow The Light :)
Mind blowing!!! 🤯🤯🤯
