That is the message. The message to me is that I really want to show them how much I accomplished but my parents don't see it and try push me to do what they want me to do where I don't have enough time to do what I want and I never want to ever continue what I do ever again and that I'm gonna just follow what they want me to be instead of what I want to be. I always just do everything to hear the 5 words from both of them, "I'm proud of you son." It's the one thing I want to hear before they die.
Fun fact ok orchestra ( the album my play goes into) is themed around like the instruments are the ones singing.... Which is what you hear in the very beginning
I Just found this video but i see that it doesn't have that many comments and everything is 3 years ago..... I really hope that your Channel hasn't died out man I love content like this and wish to become a music producer myself Pls keep up the good work man and dont stop giving us content like this 🙂🙂🙂
This song (like you theorized) is about divorce- specifically a child wanting to show their parents their play as a way to move on from the idea of them splitting up. “It’s gonna get really really really really bad before it’s ok [referencing the divorce process] but maybe you’ll forget it all while you’re watching my play.” I highly recommend listening to Turning Out! (it’s by AJR from the click album) It’s another great one and has spectacular production
As someone who grew up in a divorced family I definitely relate to this song a lot I was very pleasantly surprised when I first listened to it when I came out
If you like John Bellion he actually worked with one of my favorite bands Lawrence. The Weather, Casualty, Not All About You, and Make a Move are my favorites by them
I REALLY reccomend the song Turned out by them (AJR). Its, in my opinion, one kf their most emotional and moving songs. Im subbing and hope ill see you react to more AJR (if you like it)
Hey Jacob, after AJR's Maybe Man arena tour I found your channel. Thanks for doing these really good reaction vids! I hope you got to see Maybe Man. Maybe you could use the new songs to get back into reactions! Or at least listen to it because you'll love it.
Personally i dont just see this song as a kid creating something and wanting to show both parent but there seperated and its not the same the second time. I see it as a metaphore for things like birthdays and christmas which are big for a kid and with divorced parents, you have to do it all twice, and i can say from personal experience that it kind of is like doing things twice. For example, half way through christmas going to the other parents house after lunch and its like it all starts again, another roast and more presents, or most like the day is happening again and sometimes it does feel like your putting on a play the second time, because youve already done it earlier that same day and then you do it all over again. But yeah, idk if thats what they were going for but that what i get from this song
awesome!! thanks for reacting! here’s some suggestions for the future! if you like more upbeat sounding songs: burn the house down, karma, finale, sober up for slower songs: turning out, normal !!
I personally think that the vocal effects in this song (like where they say “I just really really really really really wanna show you my play) reflects jacks voice being behind a wall, like him trying to get his parents attention, trying to distract them from divorce. It sounds muffled and full of emotion. That’s just what I’m getting from this song
u should listen to burn the house down, i'm not famous, come hang out, bud like you, sober, bang, karma, 100 bad days, birthday party, beats, three-thirty, entertainment is here, break my face, next up forever, and finale. also listen to the click and neotheatre albums. my play and bang are part of their upcoming album ok orchestra
You should do Bang!, it came out early last year but it's been climbing the charts all year and now it's in the top 10. The music video is really fun to watch, too
I think its about the divorce of his parents If you pay attention to the music video a lot of signals show that. Including jack being zipped in two and his dad taking one half of him while his mum takes the other
Cool info- At the end when he speaks of not knowing when he makes a mistake, he purposely messes up the chord progression that’s been the same every other time throughout the song.

You should definitely do Next Up Forever and Finale by AJR
100 bad days, three- thirty, entertainment is here, and break my face,
Birthday party, don't throw out my legos, turning out pt 1 and 2, and wow, I'm Not Crazy.
I agree! These two definitely have that vintage feel you talked about in the beginning :)
three-thirty, burn the house down, and normal
yeah its about they're parents getting divorced, it's really really really really sad lol
*Talks about a divorce then proceeds to make a joke about it* 😂

You missed 1 really
who knew that when he says "will you pretend i didnt know if i make a mistake" he changes the note as if he is making a mistake in the song
Fun fact ok orchestra ( the album my play goes into) is themed around like the instruments are the ones singing.... Which is what you hear in the very beginning
I had no idea about this but that totally explains the whole bridge transition in Bummerland
Looking forward to hearing more of this once the album comes out!!
As a kid with divorced parents, this song really hits home.
I'm this :/
May i ask, whick home
I Just found this video but i see that it doesn't have that many comments and everything is 3 years ago.....
I really hope that your Channel hasn't died out man

You literally can’t go wrong with any of AJR’s music
As someone who grew up in a divorced family I definitely relate to this song a lot I was very pleasantly surprised when I first listened to it when I came out
@@buffbarney2648que gay por Dios pero aguante AJR
You hit the meaning of the song right on the head, man. Great reaction
I really want more AJR reactions. This was awesome.
😃
I like to describe My Play as floaty. It's my favorite song from the album, lyrics hit me different too
Such a good album from start to finish.
🔥
If you like John Bellion he actually worked with one of my favorite bands Lawrence. The Weather, Casualty, Not All About You, and Make a Move are my favorites by them
you hear that one note at the end that is the start of the next song, and you know exactly what song it was. fascinating
I literally can't listen to this song without crying
🥲
I REALLY reccomend the song Turned out by them (AJR). Its, in my opinion, one kf their most emotional and moving songs. Im subbing and hope ill see you react to more AJR (if you like it)
Yeah Turning Out form the Click is a masterpiece
It’s tragic and fantastic all at once
You were 100% right about what the song is about. You should react to Finale by AJR. One of my personal favorites.
Most detailed reactor I have every listened to. Keep it up Jacob. Keep Smiling.
Listen to Karma by them, more for the lyrics than the whole song production, but Highly recommend it.
🔥🔥🔥
I heard that snippet of "Bang!"
🔥🔥
Awesome! Please do the entire album of Okay Orchestra when it's released! Love your content (:
Hey Jacob, after AJR's Maybe Man arena tour I found your channel. Thanks for doing these really good reaction vids! I hope you got to see Maybe Man. Maybe you could use the new songs to get back into reactions! Or at least listen to it because you'll love it.
plsss do three-thirty, come hang out, next up forever, or finale by ajr! all are sooo good!

*end of my play by AJR which is kinda heartbreaking*
1 second after
*first note of bang*

omg i love AJR so much 🤗🤗💖💖
I heard bang coming up next, good song
It's interesting you tied that one part to American Authors because AJR did open for them at somepoint.
i think you would enjoy reacting to don’t throw out my legos by ajr!!
Dear winter pllllssssss
u should listen to burn the house down, i'm not famous, come hang out, bud like you, sober, bang, karma, 100 bad days, birthday party, beats, three-thirty, entertainment is here, break my face, next up forever, and finale. also listen to the click and neotheatre albums. my play and bang are part of their upcoming album ok orchestra
So everything by AJR except the living room album?
@@GummyBearLord and that too
You should do Bang!, it came out early last year but it's been climbing the charts all year and now it's in the top 10. The music video is really fun to watch, too
i think he did
nvm he made the osn version only so far
Why would anybody dislike????
Edit: WHO DISLIKED WHOEVER DISLIKED TELL ME EXACTLY WHY
lol
still waiting for that angels and airwaves adventure reaction🤘
You should react to their new album!
Please react to bud like you by AJR
Dude, you flash your number and encourage your audience to message you? I just think that's really really really really unique
They’re from Chelsea not Long Island. Their parents now live in Long Island but it’s not where AJR grew up or live currently.
You should listen to Burn the house down or break my face by AJR
Plz do Olivia's cover of river she did one live and one normal in the hsmtmts special
That’s epic~!
🙏🏼
aint no way bro didnt even tear up.
I think its about the divorce of his parents
If you pay attention to the music video a lot of signals show that. Including jack being zipped in two and his dad taking one half of him while his mum takes the other
Oh wow
you should do some of neotheater
its ajrs last album
maybe listen to the song by itself then give your thoughts afterwards, so its not interrupting the listeners experience etiher
Their neotheater album is great you should listen to it so are their songs weak, burn the house down and come hang out
The like to dislike ratio is 603:1. Let's call that 1 dislike a little happy mistake.
You should react to way less sad by ajr! Its way more up beat!
🙏🏼
More ajr and, I don't know why you wouldn't have heard this but if you haven't do tusk :))))
cool thanks!
Cool info- At the end when he speaks of not knowing when he makes a mistake, he purposely messes up the chord progression that’s been the same every other time throughout the song.
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Well now you HAVE to do Way Less Sad
lol
Do you have a email I can talk to you through
(If that is the correct wording)
Dude do after hours by ajr
cool thanks
React to there neotheater album 💿
It's about his divorced patents
Divorce that’s what I think
Can you please do a reaction video to “River” cover by Olivia Rodrigo!!!
