@@arcade9818 Hes talking about when AJR said this is their final album, so they thought this was actually their FINAL album 11 months ago before the song BANG came out about 2 months ago.
I'm so sad. I cried when I first listened to this song. And the line, "I hope I made you smile, that's all I ever wanted." Made me cry harder because I first found them when I was in a very dark place. They made me smile listening to thier music. I hope it's not your final album, but if it is, I understand and I hope you have an amazing life filled with happiness.
I kinda recognized that in the overwhelmed bit but you made me realize the “can’t wait to see what you do next” is about never ending and increasing (“they wanted heaven from me, I gave them hell”) expectation for quality music.
i got "i hope i made you smile, that's all i ever wanted" tattooed the other day, i've been listening to them since 6th grade and now i'm a freshman in college. they've shaped who i am and they will forever be the band i come back to no matter what period of my life i'm in.
AJR is the best! Who agrees? This whole album feels really different from everything they've done so far. It focuses more on the sounds and instrumentals on a lot of tracks. Its so good I love it
4:12 "Welcome to the Neotheater. We can't wait to see what you do next." Next Up Forever: "Welcome to the Neotheater Won't everybody take their seats? And I'll be next up forever 'Cause I don't know what's coming next" AJR is brilliant.
@@gnashawits4368 in next up forever, the lyrics read "Cause I don't know what's coming next" and in this song (finale) the lyrics read "We can't wait to see what you do next". So basically in the first song of the album he doesn't know what's gonna happen, and now that the album is over, we can't wait to see what they do next, as in their next album
This song hits hard… there’s always a dark side to having supportive friends and family members, because you know that if you fail you wouldn’t just be disappointing yourself, but you’d be disappointing everyone else too.
If they are truly supportive which most are, then they'd be willing to help out both in time sof success and failure and always help you keep moving forward, that's what I hope to do and greatly appreciate when others do to me. That's my opinion on the matter, hope it was helpful
@@ultranovva This can be true, but even those that support and care have expectations.. they may not say it verbally but there will be expectations nonetheless, and I think that's where being afraid of disappointing them comes in.. and it's really scary and hurts when we do end up disappointing them when we're disappointed with ourselves
@@ultranovvait's not the fact that they wouldn't be willing to help again, it's the feeling of beating yourself up for disappointing those who rooted for you, and feeling like a burden in their lives
welcome to the universe. you float in a void in your head and dreams and lose reality when you close your eyes. your goldilockes but everything is so off its right (つ ͜。 ͡ʖ ͜。)つ
I got chills listening to this in the car when Jack said, "if it's my final album, and if I am forgotten, I hope I made you smile, that's all I ever wanted...." then boom, "Welcome to the Neotheater" - more chills
Really neotheater was just great cause it implies there's gonna be a new style, but their not over. Of course they've made new songs. I'm just hoping bang referred to their childhood, not music in general.
everyone: "oh no, i hope this isnt their last album!" the actual song: *has the chorus people in the (probable) places of their friends/family/FANS and the people are expressing their want for ajr to not leave while the ajr boys express the idea of having this as their final album and moving on as a whole, too overwhelmed with the idea of getting this popular* (i dont want this to be their last album either, i love this band and their music! i just hope they do what they want with their careers and that they dont overwork themselves)
when neotheater was released they did say they feel creatively drained and unable to write a song ever again, however since they've been on tour ryan said he's been inundated with song ideas and inspiration :)
I know this is an older song so this comment will most likely get lost, but I wanted to thank you so much for your incredible work. I came across your work sometime in 2020, I was going through college and already then I was starting to have a very bad mind set. I didn't do well at school, I put pressure on myself that although my family didn't require, in my own mind I couldn't let them down by not finishing school. And then I had to repeat the year and all the pressure I felt before just increased. I couldn't explain in words why I felt so unhappy, I had no reason to. Then I listened to Karma and Finale and everything started to feel a bit fishy. And Ok Orchester became the biggest help to me and especially the sentence "But i'm not dead yet, so I guess I'll be alright". I followed this sentence from the moment I heard it, and I still follow it today. No matter what happens to me in life, what goes wrong, as long as I live, as long as I breathe, as long as there is still a chance to change things, then there is no point in throwing life away. So I would like to thank you again very much for your songs and the emotional help they have given me.
Actually it IS their BEST album of the 4, with The Click at #2, OK Orchestra at 3, and then Living Room at 4, although I really like all of them, the only songs I really like from Living Room are My Calling and I'm Ready.
@@HMminionjust let him believe what he wants to believe don’t need to take it seriously (tho in my opinion not a bad list even tho I disagree with some choices not that bad)
I can't stop singing "They wanted heaven from me, I gave 'em hell, now they want something bigger, I'm overwhelmed" because that's my life story right there :')
The end of this song makes me feel like the entire album was the buildup to them being admitted into music history, like the entire album they’re being evaluated on who they are, what they’ve been through, and what their music portrays, and this song is their finale. As the ending comes they’re being brought through the curtain of the Neotheater, everyone in the seats a famous musician or artist, from the Beatles to the Back Street Boys, Biggie Smalls to Beethoven, clapping for them. There wasn’t any need to perform further, they were listening the whole time and they loved it. Now onto bigger and better things. They’ve made it. :)
Yeah! Like AJR saying "Come outside" seems like all the people of fame and popularity cheering for them to come outside the curtain. Them saying "You went hard. You did fine" is congratulating AJR to making incredible songs.
I honestly started tearing up while listening to this song!!! AJR has a talent of letting words paint a picture, and their happy sounding beats make all their songs BOP. I REALLY NEED TO BUY THIS ALBUM
The part "just don't forget about me when you get out of college" hit hard. I remember first hearing "I'm Ready" on the radio and my love for this group just went from there. I was a freshman in high school. Now I'm in college. Even if this is their final album, I won't forget their songs and how they helped me through the years.
It wasn't their last album but this song was a great ending to to the Neotheater era and now we're here 2 eras later and I'd say their next album will be out next summer or smthn like that. And I CANT WAIT TO SEE WHAT THEY DO NEXT.
This album has actually given me the inspiration to create stuff which I haven't had in a long time, and I don't care if it's nearly midnight I'm gonna do something. Adam, Jack, Ryan, you guys are so awesome that I can't even put it into words. Seriously, from me and everyone else, thank you
Okay I just listened to the beginning of a few songs and it seems awesome. I'm saving the playlist so I can listen to it later. Thank you for suggesting it.
My partner introduced me to AJR and this song just always hits me hard. As a college student about to graduate next year it feels more bittersweet the more I listen to this song. As cheesy as it can be I want this to be my graduation song. I know damn well imma cry listening to this song once I turn my tassel to the other side.
"If its my finale album,and If I am forgotten,I hope I made you smile,thats all I ever wanted" IM LITERALLY CRYING,THEY HAVE MADE ME SMILE AND THEY STILL DO
your music is fudging transcendent. its unique and beautiful, so genuine and real. its inspiring! especially in an age where most songs are honestly starting to sound the same.

No please don’t leave here’s some reasons 1: I have been with u guys since the beginning literally like since I’m ready 2: I went through depression a couple years ago and ur music actually helped me to help myself 3: This is probably your best album and I have listened to it so many times And lastly 4: Why stop when u are starting to get popular? U kept going when no one knew who u were so why stop now ? Just please if it’s ur dream follow it please or you’ll regret it trust me Thanks for everything ❤️ You’ll never be forgotten
Neotheater is still to this day the best album i ever heard, It brings back so much good and happy memories. It's still one of my favorite albums ever, easily.
Fun fact OK Orchestra was originally going to be called Mad Orchestra and was supposed to be darker, but they realised it would have a negative impact on their mental health
I really hope this is just the finale of the first act. It doesn’t feel like a finale finale, it feels more like the end of an old arc and the beginning of a new one. It always seems like I find an AJR song to fit my situation whenever I need it most. This one fits that bill perfectly. Thanks for helping me inadvertently yet again, and I can’t wait to see what you do next. Even if you don’t do anything at all.
@@k1k1star I did a bit of research and realized you meant "the green and the town" which i didnt really listen to because i didnt listen to most of the living room after trying it out i would still say that the last few verses of this are better lyrics wise the entirety of TGATT is lyrically better than the entirety of Finale (as an average) but they are both amazing
Its not that people saw it as lazy bit rather that AJR has no "sound" they haven't found their music style which I LOVE because the whole point of the click was that, thei can do any sound but in their own form which is too tell relatable messages, but some people hate the YUP YUP YUP! the AAAAAHHHH and the electronic sounds they have, personally I find them not annoying but sometimes its too much like in wow I'm not crazy, I love thekr music but I can see why people hate them
My favorite album is ok orchestra cause I relate to it the most so maybe that’s the case with other albums this one is underrated but I’d say the click and ok orchestra are better there’s some really great songs in this one but my only problem is there’s no overture and instead we get an opening and closing number which I can’t say I prefer to an overture
im happy that this was certainly not their final album. you guys are never gonna be forgotten, at least not in my book. you guys were a huge part of my life. thank you for changing it.
I love the way it shows how achieving fame and glory isn't always the best feeling. The pressure and expectations are at their highest. This feels like the song version of "the higher you are, the further you have to fall."
I cried when I heard the sentence "if it's my finale album, and If I'm forgotten, I hope i made you smile, that's all I ever wanted" And you know what ajr? you did, You did make me smile, and smile alot actually Your music is such an Inspiration to us all, your my favorite band, And even tho I didn't know this album existed till 3 says ago it still rocks and I'm happy that I came back your music because now I'm never going away, I'll stay here until the final second I love you!
LAST PART lyrics *not included in description* can you wait a sec let me catch my breath let me catch my I cant remember how I got here (2x) they wanted heaven from me i gave them hell now they want something bigger I’m overwhelmed I think it’s time to go now I think my curtains falling just don’t forget about me when you get out of college If it’s my final album and if I am forgotten I hope I made you smile that’s all I ever wanted (congratulations on your bit of success welcome to the neotheater we cant wait to see what you do next)
I'm overwhelmed.. is this their last album did they get enough SUCCESS ARE THEY NOT HAPPY?!?! I WILL TELL EVERONE TO LISTEN TO THEM IF I HAVE TO!! DO THEY WANT ME TO!?!?!? BECUASE I WILL!! I WILL RIGHT NOW!!!
oh my, oh my god the entertainments here. i think what the lyrics mean is that they have too much success, and didn’t intend on getting this big. they’re overwhelmed by what their listeners want, and they just want to do something else with their lives
Life is crushing me down. I have physical pain, depression, agoraphobia, and anxiety, plus I have been taking care of my disabled mom for two years. And then there is worse stuff going on that I can't even mention. And while it feels like everyone in the world is standing on me, everyone keeps demanding more and more and more. I am failing at everything and I am barely holding on at all but everyone wants more. This song is so my life. Thank You guys for this song.
It'll be alright, I also have depression, and one time my mom tried to kill me, there's worse stuff that happened, I love you, I hope everything gets better for you!
I've never in my life heard a more powerful song. This has moved me beyond what I had ever expected to to feel from a song. This is beautiful. This is the perfect example of the saying "music to my ears"
Lierally my top 3 ajr songs (AAAAAA SO COOL) “if it’s my finale album, and if i am forgotten, i hope made you smile, thats all i ever wanted” that line up there, i can feel it O_O
this album (in my opinion) is the best album so far. Each song seems to uniquely tell their own story, but if you listen to them in order, the meaning is significant. Welcome to Neotheater: Cause I don't know what's coming next. Finale: Can't wait to see what you do next. AJR is the best🎉🎉🎉
the lyric "and if you're just as hopeless, I wish you well" *hits so much harder* when you're having a slight breakdown in the middle of a grocery store 2 and a bit hours into your shift
This song is quite relatable for me. I’ve been doing a lot of work for my school, field trips clubs and such. And everyone wants to see something even bigger from me! Which is very encouraging of course, it’s just quite stressful for me. Thank you, AJR, for putting my emotions into words. Love your music, guys
This entire album has been a rollercoaster, every single song in here i didnt like at first, but as i listened again and again, i grew to love it as the best
Still to this day every time I hear this song I get chills. Lol AJR has truly made my childhood worth remembering. I think I’m speaking for everyone in these comments when I say that AJR helps to give us a life worth living. Thank you guys. ❤️
I am never gonna forget this band. The one that made my teenage life hopeful...

The end of this song makes me feel like the entire album was the buildup to them being admitted into music history, like the entire album they’re being evaluated on who they are, what they’ve been through, and what their music portrays, and this song is their finale. As the ending comes they’re being brought through the curtain of the Neotheater, everyone in the seats a famous musician or artist, from the Beatles to the Back Street Boys, Biggie Smalls to Beethoven, clapping for them. There wasn’t any need to perform further, they were listening the whole time and they loved it. Now onto bigger and better things. They’ve made it. :)
Yeah! Like AJR saying "Come outside" seems like all the people of fame and popularity cheering for them to come outside the curtain. Them saying "You went hard. You did fine" is congratulating AJR to making incredible songs.
4:00 You did AJR. 😊
I honestly started tearing up while listening to this song!!!
AJR has a talent of letting words paint a picture, and their happy sounding beats make all their songs BOP.
I REALLY NEED TO BUY THIS ALBUM
Chels_Che_ or you could buy tickets to their show and get an album for free 😊😉
@@ladywendy2625 what? Really?
Jam Marmalade yep! I should be getting my CD tomorrow.
I've been listening to this with my head down cause I've been tearing up a lot. T-T
Chels_Che_ The first and last songs are my favorite ones. They both make me tear up

The part "just don't forget about me when you get out of college" hit hard. I remember first hearing "I'm Ready" on the radio and my love for this group just went from there. I was a freshman in high school. Now I'm in college. Even if this is their final album, I won't forget their songs and how they helped me through the years.
Amen to every word! 😭😭
It wasn't their last album but this song was a great ending to to the Neotheater era and now we're here 2 eras later and I'd say their next album will be out next summer or smthn like that. And I CANT WAIT TO SEE WHAT THEY DO NEXT.
This album is just
*smooch*
*_PERFECT._*
This album has actually given me the inspiration to create stuff which I haven't had in a long time, and I don't care if it's nearly midnight I'm gonna do something. Adam, Jack, Ryan, you guys are so awesome that I can't even put it into words. Seriously, from me and everyone else, thank you
Okay I just listened to the beginning of a few songs and it seems awesome. I'm saving the playlist so I can listen to it later. Thank you for suggesting it.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooh... AJR... I'm dumb
Sorry for the stress
Good luck on what you do next
It’s gonna be great
My partner introduced me to AJR and this song just always hits me hard. As a college student about to graduate next year it feels more bittersweet the more I listen to this song. As cheesy as it can be I want this to be my graduation song. I know damn well imma cry listening to this song once I turn my tassel to the other side.
Sound's like a Disney song. Also really nice song. Probably my favourite
*Pixar has entered the chat*
"If it's my final album and if I am forgotten, I hope I made you smile. That's all I ever wanted."
I'm not crying, you are.

IM LITERALLY CRYING,THEY HAVE MADE ME SMILE AND THEY STILL DO
I feel like I just finished a Disney movie

No you are not easily angered Bc youre an Aries no you don't like the color black bc you're a Scorpio no youre not lazy bc you're a taurus literally sloth is a sin and black is the color of darkness and God is the light and the demons hate God so they love the dark and when I started following God he opened me and my sisters eyes to realize zodiac signs aren't real many go too astrology and tarot for their future or whats meant for them but never to God or the bible they want what's fun but sadly these are demonic things believe it or not :( me and my sister use to be so caught up in astrology and stuff like that but Not anymore so no you're not that way bc of zodiac signs it's your sins idc how accurate it seems don't be deceived ❤idk if you are gonna read this but i will tell you and everyone God is real 100% believe it or not and what good is it too gain the whole world and lose your own soul?

Ikr i mean we don't need Avengers Endgame for a good day
"Welcome to the Neotheatre." THAT LINE ROUNDED EVERYTHING OFF AND HITS HARD. Someone needs to make the Neotheatre a real place.
“They wanted heaven from me, I gave em hell...”
*They just described their entire fanbase*
i've really only seen good things from AJR's fanbase.
Oh hell no, you did not just say that😑🤬👿
I heard it as "I gave em ham"
@@LittleAuxi cant stop hearing that
“Now they want something bigger, im overwhelmed” describes them to their fans after they release an album that took months of hard work and exhaustion
If this is my final album, and if I am forgotten/ I hope I made you smile, that's all I ever wanted.
;-;
"just dont forget about me when you get out of college"
i got goosebumps from that
Thank you AJR for getting me through so many hard times in my life
No please don’t leave here’s some reasons
1: I have been with u guys since the beginning literally like since I’m ready
2: I went through depression a couple years ago and ur music actually helped me to help myself
3: This is probably your best album and I have listened to it so many times
And lastly
4: Why stop when u are starting to get popular? U kept going when no one knew who u were so why stop now ?
Just please if it’s ur dream follow it please or you’ll regret it trust me
Thanks for everything ❤️
You’ll never be forgotten
this warms my heart
Neotheater is still to this day the best album i ever heard, It brings back so much good and happy memories. It's still one of my favorite albums ever, easily.

AJR songs always hit me hard in the feels, but THIS album really took the cake.
I basically graduated to this and it fits so much.
Memento mori. Glad to see we're spread out evenly across the internet.
The end always makes me cry 😭 “if it’s my final album, and if I am forgotten. I hope I made you smile, that’s all I ever wanted” MY LORD.
4:36 *OK O* = *OK ORCHESTRA*
It had to be referencing that
Fun fact OK Orchestra was originally going to be called Mad Orchestra and was supposed to be darker, but they realised it would have a negative impact on their mental health
@@stupidbandkid741 oof
I really hope this is just the finale of the first act. It doesn’t feel like a finale finale, it feels more like the end of an old arc and the beginning of a new one.
It always seems like I find an AJR song to fit my situation whenever I need it most. This one fits that bill perfectly. Thanks for helping me inadvertently yet again, and I can’t wait to see what you do next. Even if you don’t do anything at all.
i got to say starting with "can i wait a sec" to the end of the song these are probably the best lyrics ajr ever made
My fav is TGATT
@@k1k1star I did a bit of research and realized you meant "the green and the town" which i didnt really listen to because i didnt listen to most of the living room
after trying it out i would still say that the last few verses of this are better lyrics wise the entirety of TGATT is lyrically better than the entirety of Finale (as an average) but they are both amazing
This is my favorite album. Don’t know why people say it’s bad.
Slushdog 101 Some people think it was lazy (I don’t)
Its not that people saw it as lazy bit rather that AJR has no "sound" they haven't found their music style which I LOVE because the whole point of the click was that, thei can do any sound but in their own form which is too tell relatable messages, but some people hate the YUP YUP YUP! the AAAAAHHHH and the electronic sounds they have, personally I find them not annoying but sometimes its too much like in wow I'm not crazy, I love thekr music but I can see why people hate them
My favorite album is ok orchestra cause I relate to it the most so maybe that’s the case with other albums this one is underrated but I’d say the click and ok orchestra are better there’s some really great songs in this one but my only problem is there’s no overture and instead we get an opening and closing number which I can’t say I prefer to an overture
Same
I TIMED IT WITH NEW YEARS COUNTDOWN LETS FREAKING GO!
POGGIES
im happy that this was certainly not their final album. you guys are never gonna be forgotten, at least not in my book. you guys were a huge part of my life. thank you for changing it.
I love the way it shows how achieving fame and glory isn't always the best feeling. The pressure and expectations are at their highest. This feels like the song version of "the higher you are, the further you have to fall."
“I hope I made you smile, that’s all I ever wanted”

After they say OK, you can hear another O.
That would spell OKO.
Ok orchestra is the name of their next album.
O-K-O

Clever.
i didnt know you where a fan of ajr aswell
All of AJRs’ songs make me feel so ecstatic. I cry sometimes when listening to them tbh
...wow. like, WOW. this was great. It feels like I just listened to a musical with all the motifs and stuff. 10/10 album
I cried when I heard the sentence "if it's my finale album, and If I'm forgotten, I hope i made you smile, that's all I ever wanted"
And you know what ajr? you did,
You did make me smile, and smile alot actually
Your music is such an Inspiration to us all, your my favorite band,
And even tho I didn't know this album existed till 3 says ago it still rocks and I'm happy that I came back your music because now I'm never going away, I'll stay here until the final second
I love you!

they wanted heaven from me
i gave them hell
now they want something bigger
I’m overwhelmed
I think it’s time to go now
I think my curtains falling
just don’t forget about me

If it’s my final album
and if I am forgotten
I hope I made you smile
that’s all I ever wanted
(congratulations on your bit of success
welcome to the neotheater
we cant wait to see what you do next)
These lyrics are honestly scary. Especially since they didn’t put it into the description
I'm overwhelmed.. is this their last album did they get enough SUCCESS ARE THEY NOT HAPPY?!?! I WILL TELL EVERONE TO LISTEN TO THEM IF I HAVE TO!! DO THEY WANT ME TO!?!?!? BECUASE I WILL!! I WILL RIGHT NOW!!!
I'll give everyone hell.
oh my, oh my god the entertainments here. i think what the lyrics mean is that they have too much success, and didn’t intend on getting this big. they’re overwhelmed by what their listeners want, and they just want to do something else with their lives
It’s in the description now.
I feel like I was in a Disney film, except the producers were high on grass while suffering from depression....I LOVE IT
*No Grass Today plays in the distance*
But they shouldn't smoke no grass today
That’s because their the ones on stage
@@DoomsdayAttack who are we to take away what makes them feel so great 😂
Looking at this from the future.
Thank you for everything AJR.
We can't wait to see what you do next.
Life is crushing me down. I have physical pain, depression, agoraphobia, and anxiety, plus I have been taking care of my disabled mom for two years. And then there is worse stuff going on that I can't even mention. And while it feels like everyone in the world is standing on me, everyone keeps demanding more and more and more. I am failing at everything and I am barely holding on at all but everyone wants more. This song is so my life. Thank You guys for this song.
Dang person, I hope your life is gonna do well fine in soon :(
It'll be alright, I also have depression, and one time my mom tried to kill me, there's worse stuff that happened, I love you, I hope everything gets better for you!
Soooo is no one gonna talk about the OKO at the end?
It's for shadowing Ok Orchestra...
Yooooo I just caught that!!

You guys are my favourite band I cant wait to get the album ❤️❤️
Oh wow oh wow, this is delight sound, where has this been my entire life ?
I've never in my life heard a more powerful song. This has moved me beyond what I had ever expected to to feel from a song. This is beautiful. This is the perfect example of the saying "music to my ears"
This album is FANTASTIC. A WHOLE ROLLERCOASTER. AJR is deserved to be known worldwide. The best
Lierally my top 3 ajr songs (AAAAAA SO COOL)
“if it’s my finale album, and if i am forgotten, i hope made you smile, thats all i ever wanted”
that line up there, i can feel it O_O
"If I made you smile, that's what I always wanted" I'M CRYING
this album (in my opinion) is the best album so far.
Each song seems to uniquely tell their own story, but if you listen to them in order, the meaning is significant.
Welcome to Neotheater: Cause I don't know what's coming next.
Finale: Can't wait to see what you do next.
AJR is the best🎉🎉🎉
And next up forever
Then can't see what you fo next. Totally agree.
"I hope I made you smile. That's all I ever wanted." still breaks my heart to no avail
WOW 💙 this whole album is such a blessing, I'm going through a tough time. AJR, you mean everything to me. I'm going to turn it around, starting now
I hope things turn out ok for you ♥♥♥
Yooooo! I just realized! At the end the little voice says “ok, oh” OKO! THEY WERE FORSHADOWING OK ORCHESTRA!!
"I hope I made you smile" that line....makes me want to watch you even more!
the lyric "and if you're just as hopeless, I wish you well" *hits so much harder* when you're having a slight breakdown in the middle of a grocery store 2 and a bit hours into your shift
Sounds oddly specific
"I hope I made you smile that's all I ever wanted"......well that's one hell of a line
This song is quite relatable for me. I’ve been doing a lot of work for my school, field trips clubs and such. And everyone wants to see something even bigger from me! Which is very encouraging of course, it’s just quite stressful for me. Thank you, AJR, for putting my emotions into words. Love your music, guys
this made me cry 5 consecutive times
"I hope I made you smile, that's all I ever wanted." Look I didnt sign up to get heart ripped out. 😭
It's because we don't want the smiling to stop. Thank you, AJR.
This entire album has been a rollercoaster, every single song in here i didnt like at first, but as i listened again and again, i grew to love it as the best
Well said!
It sounded different at first and then the beat dropped and I'm like yeeeaaaaahhhhh🤯🤯🤯
4:28
I am in love with this tune! That is how you end an album!🥹🤩
The fact that when people expect everything from us but we give them something decent they get so upset =
This beautiful masterpiece

Still to this day every time I hear this song I get chills. Lol
AJR has truly made my childhood worth remembering. I think I’m speaking for everyone in these comments when I say that AJR helps to give us a life worth living. Thank you guys. ❤️
