Charlie, I don't know why, but the YT algorithm decided that I needed to see this video, and because of that, I've found out about Dirty Loops. I love your reaction to this track and how real it is. The emotional connection that this song can pull out of the people is truly the show of great musicianship. Thanks for being real with your reactions.
Ahh I'm so glad it led you to them. Thank you for your kind words
I love how everyone has the same euphoric reaction when the chorus hits for the first time. It sounds like liquid gold.
Charlie, you managed to articulate how I’ve been feeling about them for the past year. You are spot TF on when you say that they are able to bring so much light into such dark spaces in our lives. I know that, for me, it’s been pretty damn hard around these parts - mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. And they help me forget about all of it when I listen to them. That is why I’m so obsessed. They bring me joy. And that’s just it. I’m sure I’m not the only one, but I’m only speaking for me and what I’ve dealt with. It’s all about the joy.
Well said, Jamila! I agree completely!
Much love to you girl, I'm barely holding onto life at the moment and everything around me is collapsing but music like this is one of the things that keep me going. Keep carrying your cross and your reward when all the pain is washed away will be so worth it. Peace!
@@soraya2218 Don't get me to cryin' on here! I receive all of that. I really appreciate that so much.
Thank you all for these candid and honest comments y'all. I'm sending you all my love and I will be praying for you
Yes, aren't we lucky in these troubled times, to be able to listen to such brilliance. Every single musician on this recording is one of the best, from Cory, Grace, Wongnotes, and the genius Dirty Loops. Charlie, you aren't the only one who they make cry with such masterful joy.
Charlie, I’m completely flabbergasted. This is otherworldly. This is pure magic. The best thing. Out of words now. 🤯
"What a privilege"……my feelings exactly. It's the feeling I get whenever I listen to/watch Dirty Loops, Cory Wong's band, and these two dynamos together.
Still feels as magical as when I first heard them, like euphoria on the inside and jaw on the floor everytime xD
They just fill one's heart with so much Joy, don't they? I can't get enough of them!
Spectacular, aren't they? Don't know how many times I've heard it, (a LOT) and I still chase reactors to see what they have to say. I agree 110%: it's beauty that makes life worth doing, and this checks that box big time. Dirty Loops always just makes me happy.
This song really is something special.
Thanks for bringing your energy to another Dirty Loops video Charlie. Your reactions are both heart-felt and often great fun at the same time. I share your admiration for Henrik's TONE and I will never tire of hearing it.
This is an utterly phenomenal song and you just gave an utterly phenomenal reaction. Don't doubt yourself. Whatever you might have missed technically-your words not mine-you more than made up for with your beautiful emotional and philosophical take on this uplifting music. You gave a wonderfully genuine reaction on the wonder of what people can do. It is a blessing to hear the unharnessed joy of a song like this. In a world that can be so dark and grim music like this does allow us to imagine something better. Thanks so much. At some point should you be ready for something else uplifting-if you're not already familiar-Jacob Collier's rendition of Lionel Richie's "All Night Long." Another track that I feel very lucky to be around to experience.
My man, your comment is on point! I don't have any technical knowledge of music but I feel like I still kinda have a musicians ear. I can't explain it properly, it's just that I might not be able to explain *why* exactly something sounds good but I know musical greatness when I hear it, you know those little moments that most people miss but musicians go crazy over. This song is incredibly good. From the bass to the drums, the vocals and brass section, the melodies and harmonies... phenomal is the right word!
@@soraya2218 Great comment thank you.
Amen to all of the appreciations you mentioned! I actually bought a gift (a Dirty loops T-shirt, signed by the band) to the guy that recommended Dirty loops to me! I was fortunate to see them perform here in Sweden this summer, as well as have my picture taken with Jonah. I sure look like a star-eyed 14-year old next to Justin Bieber in his prime on that pic! :D
Wow that's so awesome. And what a great friend you are 😁
Great reaction Charlie! I love what you said about having the amazing things in life like this song to block out some of the negative crap going on in the world today. I find so much peace and enjoyment by just putting on my headphones and doing a little Dirty Loops binge. You've got a great attitude towards life, a great ear for good music and after just seeing this one reaction, I'm already becoming a new subscriber. I need to now go find your Thriller reaction. I hope you continue to go down the Dirty Loops rabbit hole because they have so much amazing stuff out there. Keep the positive attitude and I hope to see a lot more from you soon.
I totally agree with everything you are saying. Especially from a philosophical point. How lucky I am to be alive during this. Cheers from Italy!
I love your reaction. Glad you did this reaction because I really enjoy your enthusiasm towards Dirty Loops and in this case with Cory Wong. I have been following them for about 2 years now and I can't get enough.
Excellent song! Excellent performance! Excellent reaction! So many things you said resonate. That feeling of being overcome when witnessing pure musical talent & joy. It is such a reprieve from the bombardment of negativity that surrounds us at times. It does give one a glimmer of hope to remember what humanity is capable of when harnessing the best within ourselves. Also your acknowledgement of the privilege it is to be able to experience music such as this. My life changes for the better when I listen to my favorite artists, like DL & I am so thankful for it. Thank you for the reminder!
Delighted you covered this. I think its the best track I've heard in like forever. I play keys and Sax and I'm just blown away by this track. Your reaction was spot on.
Might blow your mind to know this was recorded on two different continents! They had never met in person at this point.
Still haven't I think. Although both Cory and Henrik were att NAMM this year so hopefully they said hi 😀
Friggin awesome reaction dude, this song just blows you away…. Listening to it with your ears I heard new things, so thanks for those comments and for being a stickler for it ;)
I totally agree, Cory and the Loops are a match made in heaven- and they take you straight there, it’s pure bliss :)
In another one of these videos, “Ring of Saturn”, Cory features a bit more, in a lyrical way but-.
Then there also is “Turbo” from the same collaboration - another insane track 🔥🔥🔥
And a few more, equally fire but without videos.
It’s so good to be on that journey, ain’t it? 🙏
Cory W & the horns were in a studio in N America, Dirty Loops are in Sweden playing this. Mad!!!
THEY ARE LIKE A PERFECT MACHINE. ONCE THAY START, IT WON’T STOP.
Sometimes a piece of music sounds so fucking beautiful it brings tears to your eyes. This is that.
Keep watching this lineup - the horn section is crazy good.
Great reaction. Totally agree 💯💯😊
I saw Cory and the Wong Notes recently and I can attest to the fact that this horn section is as tight live as they are here on this recording.
Great reaction, my man. Easily my favorite Dirty Loops song. It's a masterpiece. And yeah...if this doesn't make you wanna well up inside, you must not have a pulse! Keep up the good work!
Saw them live in Stockholm 🇸🇪 about 2 weeks ago. Amazing!!
That’s exactly it, Charlie - what a privilege to see, hear, receive, enjoy. Even let it heal our battered souls. Supreme music and musicianship for the soul… I am a singer, choir leader and have been a music teacher for grade 10-13 for 20 years and I love and need my Dirty Loops-music. As you said - it gives me hope...
It's what you get when everyone in the band are the best!!
yeah, my favorite also, thanks for letting me re-live my first listen again, vicariously 🙂
Can’t get enough of this song 👌❤️
Great reaction! Great comments! One of the best reactions to this video!
Great video Charlie! If you get round to it, I suggest you watch "Next to you" by Dirty Loops. What is mind blowing about that song is that Jonah does ALL the vocals, despite the fact that Aaron and Henrik vamp in the video.
So Aron does not actually sing? Henrik pops in once, but does so behind the drums in another vid (was it 'Rock you'?)
@@LadyLuftmadrass yes, Jonah said in an interview that he actually did all of the vocals on "Next to you". Can't say for sure that this is also true for the other songs but I strongly think that's the case. When they're goofing around in other videos seemingly playing each other's instruments I think that's also just for video purposes.
@@LadyLuftmadrass It's also in Next to you than Henrik switching on drums for an instant, at least for enjoyment screen purpose.
The fact that this was recorded on to different sides of the world, Corey in the US and DL in Sweden, makes this even more mind blowing.
Concerning the cut-off that you talked about in the start, that is just them using a Gate with a high treshold when recording.
I actually envy you, who have an incredible experience ahead of you discovering all the amazing music DL have been blessing us with since 2009. Please continue to react to DL and welcome to being Loopified!
Wow!!! I watched your reaction video witch I loved but I had to see the complete video without pauses,don't get me wrong you're a great music reactor; the bass player is a beast the way he manipulates that bass guitar and the little gadget under his foot is just sick...the vocalist voice has so many colors I can close my eyes and feel the vibes of Steve Wonder, Justin Timberlake,Michael Jackson. My point? I had to subscribe to their channel I want more. I'm blown away.🤯🤯🤯🤯
Love what you said about people doing something great is the biggest inspiration and light in the sea of evil in the world
Mind BLOWN!
My new favourite group! WOW, they are amazing!!!
That was fun to watch you enjoy!
Man your ear is f**** sharp really appreciated your comments and reactions, subscribed right away 👍
Thank you so much Steph. Appreciate you subscribing and your kind words. Welcome on board 😁
Fantastic reaction mate 👏👏 Subscribing for sure! And despite having seen “all” reactions of this song and your take on it and the things you point out - for a lot of them it was the first time I noticed. Well done 👍
Yes. It is something! +++++!
Thanks for sharing and well-speaking mutual feelings. It's rough out there with exquisite music - no one around you gets it.
Fun Fact Charlie… Cory and the Horn section recorded in the US and Dirty Loops recorded in Sweden, then They cut it video and audio together, just as they did for Thriller. Still kicks ass though right?
3:00 the horns are dubbed with synths here, that's what is punching so hard/fast/short
You just expressed exactly how I felt when I discovered Dirty Loops. And still feel.
So glad to share it with you. Thank you!
Ps. You'd go bonkers listening to their Next To You ☺️.
Dude I love your reactions! Dirty Loops are one of my favourite bands, and some of the best musicians I've ever witnessed! On a different note, where did you get that T-shirt from?
It never occurred to me that they trimmed the brass hits for effect, but now that you mentioned it, it's obvious. It adds to how ridiculously tight they sound. Nice catch.
I’m certainly no master mixer or editor but I’ve watched several tutorials on how to use mixing software and some people do like to come into the mix and “clean up” in between sections to make it more crisp. I think that’s what you and others have heard hear. The left side of the screen was recorded in USA and the DL right side at their location then mixed. Pretty well done video I think.
@@mikecoughlin4128 Cleaning up before mixing is just essential housekeeping: Everything not needed must be removed to make room for what is - the available space is finite, and there is a hard ceiling limiting how much energy you can pack into a mix, which is what makes mixing such a delicate art. But what is unusual here is it sounds like they’ve trimmed the natural decay of humans blowing their horns, so the brass hits have as sharp ends as they have attacks. Meaning it’s more of a production trick than a mixing decision. I’m sure someone else has done it before in this digital era, it’s just the first time I’ve heard it, or at least noticed it. Anyhow, it’s a killer track. And yeah, the video is a clever solution to the geographical dilemma.
good wind players can cut off their sound very easily. Saxophonist David Sanborrn does it a lot. there might be some post-production involved in this song, but hearing the song live might give more information.
Great reaction! Gotta check out Turbo! Honestly ANYTHING they do is phenomenal!
Aside from all the front-person talent, what you have there is also parts of Prince's brass section. Also incredibly talented.
Brilliant reaction!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Yes it almost certainly was "Cut" as the two groups Cory and Brass and then Dirty Loops filmed this on TWO continents. The USA and Sweden and then spliced together in post production.
Ahh no I don't mean that kind of cut. I mean the bar being abruptly cut off before the end of the wave form to create a choppy electro-esque kind of sound
OK sorry misunderstood the contex
Perfect reaction.
Charlie gets it. Now also a Charlie fan.
Welcome on board brother 👊🏼
Considering the two groups are recording in different countries, I’d say the post production went really well.
About Henriks bass sound i heave heard that he sometimes on the final versions double the bass with a synth bass so it is not always only the bass guitar that you hear. It is hard to make out if that is the case in this song or not but it makes the bass sound, well a bit more than if it was only the bass guitar :)
You can definitely tell that on some tracks. Takes nothing away from his tone or his playing obviously.
If you want, check out “Takuma” with David Grey feat. Alana. “Follow the light” and “Takuma” are two of the greatest songs I’ve heard during my lifetime. Cheers from southern Italy.
Musical masturbation 😂 cryin 😂😂😂😂 your,100% right spent years in college and uni studying music production it’s the greatest thing I’ve ever heard absolute genious not just the talent of the musicians but the mix and the production on a level I’ve never heard before ridiculous
Turbo, by Cory Wong and Dirty Loops is another where Cory has more guitar work that comes out. It is also a really great jam that you might enjoy.
You got it man... Great song. I feel the same as you do
How beautiful are those pads in the background during the chorus?
Musical masterbation! Ah, Charlie. You do have a way with words, Sir. 🙂
You're doing a great job!!!!! Fun to follow along with you an this journey..... How about this one. The new singer for Whitenake, his name is Dino Jelusick... He works with Mike Portnoy(Dreamtheater) and others on an amazing cover of Foreplay/Longtime from Boston.... Sure to knock you off you're feet!!!
Good stuff as always. Just a quick point; Make sure you export the audio as stereo in your video editing software.
I was about to write about a quality issue, it was sounding quite harsh in my IEMs...constructive criticism obviously :-) but maybe it's just the mono doing it?
Listen to Jonah Nillson - Diamond ring (ft Steve Vai), that's such an awesome feel good time as well🤙🤟
I think follow the light is also a dl led song. Most cw songs are instrumental.
@@mittsilly7686 No, that one came from Cory. DL has said that Follow the Light, Thriller and Hästråtta were the three songs they contributed with (and, iirc, had written most of even before the collab).
Did you know they are not even in the same country. Dirty Loops are in Stockholm and Cory Wong and the Horn Heads are in Minnesota and it has been spliced together.
Hey, Charlie. Great reactions to the Dirty Loops videos. Really great band from Sweden. But is it only me that noticed the loop in the bass solo?? Just watch the blue haired woman in the background. It's clearly a loop going on.
No disrespect to Henrik. He is a outstanding bassist. 😊🎸
Oh man, really appreciating these insights. Subbed! 👌🏼 ✨
Same reaction I had
Hi Charlie - if you want to check out more of Cory's side on a more candid level, he has a lot of videos also featuring his band - Cory and the Wongnotes. You may find this one in particular interesting, since it showcases how a groove is built from a jam. It also punctuates how damn good musicians everyone in that band is th-cam.com/video/_5drnz5B-c4/w-d-xo.html
React to dirty loops next to you please.
It's so nice that you put such an effort into listening and commenting, and it is heartwarming to see how pleased you are with Follow the light! If you want to see Aron and Henrik having some fun (without Jonah), you could check out their stuff from Songs for lovers (how did they come up with that name?), like Old Armando had a farm (Armando is a person In the team around them), or Pink power, or let Jonah join in, in Coffee break is over (no singing, just playing a keyboard wobbling on a drum). It's short pieces and great fun. Work shit out is fantastic, in my very humble opinion. Next to you as well. You are great at reacting!!
Horns is Philadelphia and dirty loops is sweden
Amazing reactions and great vibes!! Check out turbo when you get the chance!!! Fun and awesome instrumental
Serious gates mate
Who cares how they recorded it? WE Want to hear it!
Then don't listen to a reaction........ I can't believe I have to point that out 😂
Makes me feel proud to be human...
They probably used a gate on the Brass tracks in final mix.
you've inadvertently coined a new expression - Face-melting chorus
Cuando mas reacciones de videos de DIRTY LOOPS? Ya es hora mi brother!!!
Charlie Deberias reaccionar a "The Way She Walks" Dirty Loops!!!
No it was not cut off! Listen to the Horn Heads themselves.
Fun fact: that he-he MJ style part came from the sax player (hi)
If you're up for it sometime, check out some of Grace Kelly's studio stuff... she's the sax player in the 'Loops vids and has a bunch of her own videos on her channel. Little more on the jazz side, but wow... some great live-studio vids, among other things!
Work shit out!
Yes, they look at each other< Cory Wong and The Horn Heads are in Minnesota and Johna, Hendrik and Aaron are in Sweden. Looks loke the same studio doesn't it.Its not though!!!!
tight gate mate on brass
its sounds like micheal jackson vibe
Hi, Charlie, please give a listen (comment/review of) to Snarky Puppy's "LINGUS". I'm more than certain you'll be blown away.
You now that thing when they cut things in the mix....it's called production.
I know. I studied it 😉
Dirty loops/turbo
Welcome to the rabbit hole Sir, now try "Work Shit Out" & "Next To You" then get back to me. 🔥
Your owne
why is this in mono?
He is using a pitch shifter pedal not a wah
Hey, Charlie. Can you put us listeners in stereo to?
