    I love the irony of Rob being the guitar guy but this was all Andrew on guitar. I also cannot believe how stupidly good this song came out. Watching the process was inspirational; not every idea is good, but a great song is made by knowing which ideas to keep and which ones to toss. And of course, the top-tier muscianship of this amazing duo, and their deep friendship are the icing here. Everything about this video was fantastic to watch, making it a great last video of the season. I look forward to season 2 with everything at my core!

    I’m getting massive post-grunge Seattle vibes 94-98 era. There is something else layered in that I can’t put my finger on influences wise but it’s so emotionally familiar and comfortable in a great way. It’s definitely “yep, I remember being here before. And that’s relaxing”

    The song, to me, sounds like something The Smashing Pumpkins SHOULDVE released after 'Melancholy'. I absolutely love how you both collaborate very organically and truly wish i knew people that were like my 'missing puzzle pieces' like you both seem to be. Amazing drums, riffs, bass, vocals, synths, lyrics..amazing EVERYTHING! Side note: this song is currently stuck in my head only after hearing it once......and THAT is how i know you guys are awesome!.

    You are both freakishly good to come up with this banger in just a day. I'm actually amazed!

    I had a bit of a Smashing Pumpkins feel, I think what you were guys were hearing was Cherub Rock - similar melodies and chords. Sounded great, the vocals were super powerful!

      @clipPRmusic ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Exactly my thoughts. But in some parts it kinda sounds like something out of Mellon Collie

    I love that y'all talk about "collecting riffs". I've been trying to do something like that for myself. I started trying to do a "musical diary" type thing, so trying to record on my phone recorder app for at least 10 minutes a day.. anything that comes to mind or just messing around. The important thing is to record anything at all! What I've found is sometimes the riffs are similar day to day, and sometimes they morph into something I didn't expect, and that can have a magical feeling. I've been doing it for over a year now (most days, not every day) but when you look back on the recordings and you have a years worth or two, it's like an immediately accessible vault of information from your musical past. Some of it can be "bad", some "good", but when you go back to listen and you're in a different headspace, it's all interesting. a lot of the times, I find the bad stuff sounds the best, or inspires new ideas the most. Thanks y'all for all you do to record this content and show your creative process, it's the best! :)

  • @aarons1234
    @aarons1234 ปีที่แล้ว +17

    I haven't seen anyone point this out yet, but the vocal melody of the verses is the same as 'You' by Radiohead, but I can't imagine Rob or Andrew would know that song so it probably sounds familiar due to it being a very simple melody

      I've just posted exactly the same comment ^^. 100% agree. During all the video, I had it on the top of my tongue. Andrew and Rob have a large culture, so I would not be surprised if they know this song. Maybe they just did something similar unconsciously

    Sonic Boom might be the best TH-camr Music thing out there.
    It's hilarious, super creative and endlessly rewatchable, take a good break, because you earned it.
    PLEASE don't feel rushed this series is a gift and once it returns we are all still gonna be here, if that is in a few months or in a year.

    I started listening to Adrew after the 100 riffs video, and think he should do more rock music like this... he's really good at riffing.

  • @scottvogel8477
    @scottvogel8477 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is my favorite episode editing wise. All the episodes have been awesome,but this one to me shows the song writing process the best. The moments of making the song and trying ideas that sometimes don’t work, but then the journey to what does work.
    Andrew, Rob, and the team have earned the break for sure. Already super excited for when season two comes around.

    Oh my goodness, this was an absolutely amazing song - without hesitation I'd say it's the best I've heard from you guys.
    Got so many great Coheed and Cambria vibes among other things - unbelievable work.
    You've been amazing together throughout this series, but these last couple episodes have shown how much you've grown together as a very real band/compositional force.
    This song really needs to become big. Like for real.

      Especially the chromatic lines in the guitar + heavy feel (and wire-y sound)!
