Everything he does in this video is like wow, how does he come up with that?? Yet so humble to say that he's terrible at some things. Loving Cody Fry the moment i heard his stuff.
I've listened to this song coming up on maybe 100 times or so in the last couple of weeks as well as the version where you're driving on pitch black roads. Love both versions, but nothing beats real musicians. Thanks again for taking the time to share some creative ways to add richness and subtle improvements into the mix.
This is one of the best songs i have ever heard in my life. Thank you, Cody. Sending love from the Philippines! I hope someday I could watch you guys play this song live.
Cody, I first heard this track from the live in Amsterdam set. It caught me immediately and its only grown on me since then. I LOVE this track and everything else of yours I’ve heard. The energy and the passion in the music is so striking and infectious! Thank you for this detailed breakdown and all you do! I love it!
I would like to appreciate the fact that you take a time to actually breakdown your amazing songs just for us!! Thank you Cody for that, not everyone does this, it is greatly appreciated by us!!
I’m literally always amazed when I hear You, Cory, and Ben’s music. Literally finding you guys a couple years back has legitimately taken me to another level in how I view music. 🔥
Genuinely loved watching this. I used to do midi compositions back in the late 90s early 2000s for fun, this makes me appreciate the process even more! My wife is a HS band teacher, teaching virtually this semester, and things like this are fantastic tools to use as examples to get their minds going as independent musicians.
Your talent is obvious from your performances and the music itself but watching you break down the esoteric knowledge that goes into the arrangements and jamming out for fun along the way really shows just how high tier of a musician you are. Big fan Cody!!!!
Great breakdown of a killer song! This song and Want Me Back were my 2 top streamed songs on Spotify. If I had the power, this is what would be number 1 on the charts.
Better, Want Me Back and Golden are my top played songs of this year by far. They're next level! Why cant all songs be this good?! I've had a go at playing each of them on keys but didn't get too far. This is so helpful. Are you planning on doing more of these Cory Wong & Dynamo collaborations soon?
I'm from Brazil. And I accidentally found you on Spotify while looking for another artist with a similar name. I decided to listen to the flying album and I couldn't stop. Music production is phantasmagoric, A great reference for me.
Thanks for uploading these breakdowns Cody! It's really helping me arrange my own music and see how such brilliant tunes get put together. Much love from the UK!
3:35 Our soul band teacher always tells us "At home you learn your part, in rehearsal you learn the others" and I think that's really great advice dor everyone playing in a Band, or basocally playing with others.
Just discovered your music. It's amazing, I honestly never hear anyone combining orchestral with vocals to the degree that you do (besides musicals, but they don't count). I love the breakdowns and also the couple of score videos you did a few years back! It's so unique , I love it! :)
Yes!! Faster TH-cam click of my life right here. I’ve been obsessed with this single since I discovered it, and it was incredible to see the breakdown of it! You never fail to blend all different kinds of styles into your music, and I think that’s what I love the most. Seriously, thank you for this track. How much convincing would it take you (and Cory and Dynamo for that matter) to do a full album? 😉
Once again, love this content. The concept of separating the low and high of the keys part is beautiful. I like doing something similar if I'm doing an acoustic guitar. Obviously not playing the low and high strings separately, but basically having a crossover to separate everything under 450Hz and everything above then throwing them left/right
Love this bro! Could you do more of a breakdown on the BV parts? They crushed it. Would love to hear what parts were doubled, and which parts they chose
Thanks for this video, Cody! Very very enlighting for the stuff I'm working on! Hope to play again some day with Cory & the Metropole! Greetz, also to your parents, Norman David Jansen (viola- MO)
Hey, Cody. Love learning from these song breakdowns and your tips. My question is a bit more general. You're obviously crazy musically talented as a multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, songwriter, composer, arranger, performer etc. What do you consider to be your strongest area as a musician and how do you balance these areas of musicianship? I sometimes feel as a musician that I can be the jack of all trades and master of none, but I also want to be excellent.
Cody Fry thanks for responding. I’ll be sure to check out that book. It’s a good reminder to just have fun and keep learning. Also, I figured you would respond with arranging. I’ve remember searching choral pieces for Christmas and hearing demos thinking the orchestral arrangement sounded like you only to find that you did in fact arrange the instrumentals. Keep crushing it, man!!
SUPER COOL SONG. SAW TO THE LIVE VIDEO PROB A MILLLION TIMES. Next time maybe a one-hour version of these breakdown videos? 15 mins is simply not enough....like how you came up with particular parts....would be super cool and helpful for people like me thats just starting to produce music!! Thanks!
I’m a long time logic user any recommendations for good synth sounds, third party or native, I’m just dipping my feet into synth but love your sounds? I also have to say thanks so much for doing these breakdown videos. This song is so incredible, I have listened to it on loop since a buddy of mine turned me on to your music. Additionally this video is so helpful and entertaining for musicians, I’m sure session workers love the prep work you put in.
I have a feeva.... and the only cure is more Cody Fry STANK FACE. LOL. Thanks for the view in on your process, my brotha. It helps me appreciate all the hard work and creativity that goes into your music! Love it!
Hi Cody, thanks so much for doing these videos! I was wondering if the opening of this song was inspired by the Who's Eminence Front. If so, do you think Pete Townshend used a delay the way you did to create the synth sound?
Did you take the live version off iTunes? I must have listened to this song 100 times! Absolutely fantastic. Thanks for sharing this. Ps the back ground vocals on this track are ridiculous!
Absolutely love the video and the insight into your creative process! What keyboard(s) did you use for recording/do you have any keyboards you'd recommend?
oh yeah, midi drums, that's a plugin
proceeds to JAM
the TALENT.
@Cody Fry you should, it sounds groovy! I’ve done it a couple of times, good fun!
@@CodyFry That's kinda Futureman Wooten's thing with the drumitar, right? If the Flecktones can do it, so can you!
Straight up did not expect that. So good.
I thought he’d pressed play on something laid down already until the camera cut in 😳
@@CodyFry SAME
YESSS I love that you and Cory Wong are doing more of these song breakdown videos (esp yours, as a logic user). MORE PLEASE!!!
I absolutely love the breakdowns!!
Are we not going to talk about that drum jam he just played on the keyboard...?
It's so good Chris !
Dude’s an effin savant!
Everything he does in this video is like wow, how does he come up with that??
Yet so humble to say that he's terrible at some things. Loving Cody Fry the moment i heard his stuff.
Absolutely insane! I looove these. Not going to lie, better is genuinely one of the best songs I've heard in my life. Good job on this breakdown.
I second every word of this!
I guess you could say, it’s one of the Better songs you’ve heard 😅
@@BhavnaM bahaha, I'm dying from this comment. Thanks🤣
@@PeterCleff I’ll be here all night folks 😁😁
Please, song Breakdown: Want Me Back & Falling In Love.
I've listened to this song coming up on maybe 100 times or so in the last couple of weeks as well as the version where you're driving on pitch black roads. Love both versions, but nothing beats real musicians. Thanks again for taking the time to share some creative ways to add richness and subtle improvements into the mix.
Yeah Cody!! This was a really cool look inside a very fun session. Thanks again for having me on the track!! Cheers, dude :)
Honestly man, I love your ethic. I wish it was more widespread across the industry. These videos are gold dust, thank you!
This is one of the best songs i have ever heard in my life. Thank you, Cody.
Sending love from the Philippines! I hope someday I could watch you guys play this song live.
So great! Would love to see one of these for Want Me Back with Cory. That song is amazing.
"I'm terrible at mixing live drums"
Drums sound freaking great O_O
Cody, I first heard this track from the live in Amsterdam set. It caught me immediately and its only grown on me since then. I LOVE this track and everything else of yours I’ve heard. The energy and the passion in the music is so striking and infectious! Thank you for this detailed breakdown and all you do! I love it!
Breaking down an absolute BANGER! Thank you for sharing your process and wisdom with us.
Cody, PLEASE breakdown "Underground." It's such an ethereal, unbelievable, out of this world song, man!
YESSSSSSSSSSSS 100%
I would like to appreciate the fact that you take a time to actually breakdown your amazing songs just for us!! Thank you Cody for that, not everyone does this, it is greatly appreciated by us!!

Such a smashing track!
I love 'Better' and 'Want me Back' - brilliant songs! You totally crushed it Cody and the videos are amazing!
Your talent is obvious from your performances and the music itself but watching you break down the esoteric knowledge that goes into the arrangements and jamming out for fun along the way really shows just how high tier of a musician you are. Big fan Cody!!!!

Love this song but I really Love Love the Live version with all the band and real instruments ! 👏👏👏😍😍😍 From France
Better, Want Me Back and Golden are my top played songs of this year by far. They're next level! Why cant all songs be this good?! I've had a go at playing each of them on keys but didn't get too far. This is so helpful. Are you planning on doing more of these Cory Wong & Dynamo collaborations soon?
yes please! totally enjoy it. thanks for sharing all the wisdom about arrangements and band management I highly value it!
me encanta desde que la escuche !!!! saludos cody de Costa Rica !!!
This is a JAM!!! These breakdown videos are incredible! Also love the positivity and admiration that you give to the instrumentalists!
These videos are crucial for the development of future musicians and the betterment of music as a whole. Thank you for putting the time into these!
I'm from Brazil. And I accidentally found you on Spotify while looking for another artist with a similar name. I decided to listen to the flying album and I couldn't stop. Music production is phantasmagoric, A great reference for me.
One of the best song breakdowns I’ve ever seen!
Incredible arrangement and very inspiring tutorial. Thanks Cody!
I'm super happy for this breakdown so I can start saying "Josh on the Yamaha pan flute" instead of "my dude on the top keyboard" like I have been.
I love this video
Dude, you are a goddamn inspiration to musicians. I can't wait to see you rise to number one, you deserve it!
The Synth Loop did the magic at the intro for me.
Dude, this is so awesome. I play this song on bass a couple times every week. This arrangement is killer!
Cody thanks for breaking down all the parts!
you are literally a hero among us.
Yes! I love this version!
Thanks for uploading these breakdowns Cody! It's really helping me arrange my own music and see how such brilliant tunes get put together. Much love from the UK!
YES YE SYES I'VE BEEN SO EXCITED FOR THIS
3:35 Our soul band teacher always tells us "At home you learn your part, in rehearsal you learn the others" and I think that's really great advice dor everyone playing in a Band, or basocally playing with others.
That original piano solo at 7:40 is beautiful. I like what he did in the performance, but some of those fuller chords here are really nice.
You rock, man! I’ve been listening to your music non stop lately.
YES!!!!! I love these!!! Please do more they're so insightful!
I'm so glad to know that you're still up in the game! keep crafting these masterpieces :)
Plsss do this kind of video for want me back
I have been waiting for you to do a breakdown of this, yes! Thank you!
Speechless !
Magic Sound!
Super interesting great great work squire.
Great Work Cody!
Killer song!
I would love it if Rick Beato gave you a shout out. Your work is amazing!
Just discovered your music. It's amazing, I honestly never hear anyone combining orchestral with vocals to the degree that you do (besides musicals, but they don't count). I love the breakdowns and also the couple of score videos you did a few years back! It's so unique , I love it! :)
Loved all the time I spent watching this video. This is one of my favorite song currently. I learnt a lot with you. Thank you very much!!
PLEASE DO MORE- and when you do full band, do it there too.
Yes!! Faster TH-cam click of my life right here. I’ve been obsessed with this single since I discovered it, and it was incredible to see the breakdown of it!
You never fail to blend all different kinds of styles into your music, and I think that’s what I love the most. Seriously, thank you for this track.

This is fantastic! Your music has such depth, and I appreciate seeing your process. Thank you so much!!
Amazing work, a very unique sound !
Awesome!
That Yamaha SY77 pan-flute is like sweet nectar. Is that what was used on the MPLS version of Kids? That glide makes my spine tingle.
My favorite version of this song by far! Digging these breakdowns

Such a beast arrangment bro. Loved these live videos!
So happy you posted this!
Awsome song, congratulations!
Love this bro! Could you do more of a breakdown on the BV parts? They crushed it. Would love to hear what parts were doubled, and which parts they chose
Yes man! Insane to hear you arrange Ryan’s solo. That inspired me to interview him for DormInform!
Awesome, thanks for posting.
YES. MOAR MOAR
I am late to the party, but, I love this arrangement! Thanks for sharing the method!
Thanks Cody, this was super cool and interesting!
been waiting for this. Thanks for sharing. You da man

(also do you think you'll one day do a breakdown of "That Thing that you do"?
I love how you can play a convincing drum beat using a midi keyboard that's better than most drummers I've worked with...😂
Love this video!⚡️Thanks cody 🙏🏽
This song was genius!
So good!!!!! 🤯🔥💛
Warning. Stank face starts to develop around 7:14. LOL Seriously, Cody this is phenomenal! I love watching you breakdown your tunes!
You inspire me to become a better musician/producer/arranger 🔥
great bassline
I have a feeva.... and the only cure is more Cody Fry STANK FACE. LOL. Thanks for the view in on your process, my brotha. It helps me appreciate all the hard work and creativity that goes into your music! Love it!

This is about an hour too short, Cody. More of this!
Cool !!! want to get scores for learning music!
Did you take the live version off iTunes? I must have listened to this song 100 times! Absolutely fantastic. Thanks for sharing this. Ps the back ground vocals on this track are ridiculous!
Absolutely love the video and the insight into your creative process! What keyboard(s) did you use for recording/do you have any keyboards you'd recommend?
do golden breakdown
OK, I need superior drummer. I had no idea how good that was!!
Heya man I was really curious what that cool mic effect was near the end of the chorus. The one you had on the left microphone. The song sounds huge!
Dude this is insane, so helpful to get behind the process! How come you switch from Logic to ProTools?
