Nostalgia is a funny thing. It's fascinating how time can change perception of arts. Back in 2008 to me it was just that - an incredibly fun groovy track played by a virtuoso. It sounded upbeat and undeniably positive. There wasn't any context to it. Now all I can hear are echoes of the past coming back to my memory in relentless waves. It has a very definite bittersweet quality.
Wtf did I just read ?! This was beautiful ! I damn near had tears in my eyes and chills. It’s like you knew how to express exactly what I was feeling !
I was just a 15 year old kid playing halo couch co-op with my best friend Andrew before he sadly passed. Now I’m a 31 year old man with a wife and 2 children. Ronald along with 009 sound system literally still beats in my heart to this day. You bet my children know who this legendary man is. One of the gods of TH-cam. An absolute beast.
2008 listening to this playing StarCraft with my roommates when a girl walked in. She would later become my wife. Now married with kids, taking care of them, isolated with COVID, we play songs on our keyboard to stay sane. Then I remembered this classic, 14 years later it's still crunchy
So I found my old youtube account from 10 years ago and this was my only liked video. I hope you're still out there jammin', Ronald. This music is 10/10.
I hope Mr. Jenkees sees all the comments and love these comment sections still get and how many people are inspired so many years later. Genius music really goes through time without ageing. It’s your soul that resonates in the hearts of so many other souls.
This is "Messing around"... for him. And I don't doubt he just sat down and this came out. Love it. And he's so humble about it all at the end. That's my favourite part
I bought the album (IF YOU DON'T HAVE IT, GET IT), but something about this original video gives me a level of chill I only remember from watching it the first time. Definition of a classic. Thank you Ronald.
This remains one of my all time favorite songs. You are a genuine and amazing artist Ronald. And your songs will stand the test of time. Thanks for the great music!
Just plain and simple freaking awesome. Bought the hole album in a blink of an eye after that performance. Thanks a lot for that eargasm. Please keep making music!
I remember hearing this when the video first dropped 15 YEARS AGO!! I am just as amazed at listening to this as when I first listened to it. Truely genius, Ronald. It's an amazing piece indeed.
I had the honor of speaking with Ronald approximately 10 years ago and he had to be one of the most humble people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Like many of you, I purchased his album based solely on what I'd heard here (stay crunchy). Admittedly I hadn't listen to this song for quite some time, but after cuing it up just now, it still has the power to give me goosebumps. Thank you for sharing your talents Mr. Jenkees.
Damn Ronald, over 11 years now and your beats still hold up better than most artist in the industry, I remember watching your vids in highschool and feeling so inspired to do my own thing. Thank you for the entertainment that kept me sane in my younger years. Hope you are well my friend!
I bought this CD from you over a decade ago. its in my car CD player n will never come out. its been my comfy place ( your music ) for years. thank you.
I have been coming back to this song for 16 years now. 17 when I first heard it, now 33 and my love for it has not changed in that whole time. There is something about this song which has deeply affected my life. It is one of my favourite pieces ever written. I am so glad that you still make music mate.
SkyFlamable I'm willing to beat he's touring or doing shows to some degree. You don't get all this "fame" and then stop making the music you love or whatever. An update from Ronald would be impressive though.
He's working in the studio (as of August, 2013) and he's going to be releasing a new album on Steam Records, according to his website: www.ronaldjenkees.com
Just remembered this yesterday out of the blue after more than 10 years... and saw Ronald Jenkees as a recommended channel today. Amazing how good it sounds after all this time. Such a beautiful track
How can this have been around for 16 years and I only heard it now?! Very unfair! His gratitude and pep talk at the end made me like it even more - thank you!
This is literally my favourite music producer and song ever, I listened to this when I was 4 years old, and I used to call it the robot song, I’m 13 now and this is still my favourite song!
I'm 32 and only discovering this song, and yet it almost instantly felt like a classic and I do feel nostalgia from it. It may be from the poor ass quality of the video, or from all these comments from the past. Anyway, out of all the comments I've read in the past half hour looping over this song, you're the youngest one, you're almost born with this. Make this your song, the one that will follow you through life (there's always one). Play it during your most memorable road trips, at your wedding, maybe at your funeral (by then maybe that won' be a strange thing to do). Let this man's genuine genius live on and stay crunchy.
so weird how music can take you back. I'm drinking for the first time in about a year and wanted to go down memory lane on youtube and started watching random songs from here and there and this video popped in my head(2008 was when i graduated high school and i gravitate to that era a lot). so yeah, put the video on and bam, feel like it's 12 years ago.
Sometimes when I’m down I load up this video and his radiant positivity and fuel for what Ronald does just transfers to me.. 2024 staying crunchy, Still a gem
A good friend of mine provided my intro to Jenkees some 10 years ago on a random road trip and man....every single time I hear this tune it still brings tears. What an amazing performance this was and we all got to share in it here. Ronald you're an amazing creator, thank you so much for sharing your love, brother 🤙
I first listened to this song... When I was 12 or so? I'm gonna be 21 this year. Crazy how long this tune has been a part of my life!! Thanks so much Ronald! Lots of love from Belgium
This is still my JAM! I watched a short documentary recently, and this jam lead up to the ending, to my pleasant surprise. I'm not trying to taddle or whatever, it is just really nice to hear an original, well made, and non mainstream piece of music used in this way. Love love love it. Thanks RJ!
TH-cam algorithm is crazy - I thought about this video a few days ago. Ronald... you was an important inspiration for me and my music - I watched your videos 14 years ago. Thank you!!!
This video inspired me to learn and create music. I have literally listened to this song everyday since my friend showed me it back in 2010..Thanks Ron, I cannot express to you how much your music means to all of us.
Saw this around 4 years ago, still come back to it every week or so. I can't believe there are things saying you have a disability, I just see pure talent and happiness. Keep it up man.
I remember listening to this song when I was 16, it touched me like no other piece of music. I'm now 28 and feel exactly the same. "That was a lotta fun, it usually is" - what a legend.
I found this track on Spotify last year and am still blown away by both how amazing this track sounds and the sheer similarity with some tracks from the Converting Vegetarians II album from Infected Mushroom. Your sound is awesome, one of my greatests inspirations
This helped turn me into a musician. Huge inspiration to me growing up. Incredible work, we love ronald jenkees! Thank you for your hard work. Your stuff still give me chills all these years later. All The best.
Still coming back to these. Cant believe they're 15 years old already. I first discovered you on my first military deployment. Really helped to wind down at the end of long days.
Wow this dude be throwing fire with that piano! Oh wait that's a different song :) It's always good to come back to these after all these years. The music feels so... honest. It moves you inside. You're such a special musician. Thank you!
I remember hearing this as a 20 year old guy thinking this is absolutely insanely good. Now im 30 years old and nothing has changed.
Craftylemon pshh, imagine being 10 and hearing this and now 20 in college. Time flys 🪂 edit: 8

Me too!
Same, freshman year of college smoking bowls to the jenkees. Life moves so quickly
I'm 27 now, but yes can absolutely relate!
