Jim Adkins | Mini Dive 02 - “23” String Session

Mini Dives are a sporadically published series where Jim gets into the weeds with his process.
In this “Mini Dive” I share a story about playing the telephone game from humans to computers to humans to computers. And then I guess back to humans again.

"Its better to have too much and fade it then not enough and be struggling."
Wise words for producers.

[@joshwertheim]

*proceeds to end the video abruptly* that was great

[@shane6961]

We need more of these track breakdowns from past albums!

[@kintaro_f]

23 meant a lot to me during a hard time, still does. The strings make it perfect. 🤘🖤

[@That-riyadh-gamerBlogspot]

Me too...

[@aarons.2323]

I could listen to Jim talk for roughly 21 1/2 more minutes about "23." It's my favorite Jimmy Eat World song, and one of the most personally important songs of my entire life. I will absorb any behind the scenes knowledge of this song that I can get.

[@tommydee1981]

23 got me through a tough time in life. Still cry when I hear it. But now they're happy tears. Thanks Jim.

[@jonlarsen002]

I love the format of these quick song stories. I still listen to the Futures album constantly after all these years. It's the perfect blend of songwriting, melody, band energy, and flawless production.

[@alex94gracia]

23 💞💗, my favorite song of you guys!

[@ColtonBCasey]

23 is the best song ever made

[@Skribblez_Entertainment]

Cool to see i'm not the only one who's acclaimed "23" as their favorite Jimmy Eat World track

[@_zoid]

Amazing that the members of the orchestra (if that's the right term) were able to play this on the spot and make it sound so good. Real pros. Also very glad 23 ended up getting the love it deserved.

[@Buzzehxcx]

This is perhaps my favorite song of all time!

[@crimsontsunami92]

The album Futures had a ton of influence on me over the years, still holds a deep place in my heart and soul.. My goto album for road trips or cleaning up the house or whatever. Something I've grown to share with my wife.

[@oksanabear]

I love this so much.

[@stacybearden]

23 has always been my favorite song.

[@JeanFrancoCaringi]

I LOVE 23 SONG!
thanks for that master piece!

[@CarsSimplified]

Very cool! I enjoy these mini dives quite a bit!

[@skellvarnsen23]

amazing still it seems.. .

[@mlkalf6693]

I like that song so much....it is amazing to me...thanks for it

[@sour-c990]

nice story hahahaha. love this song and the strings so much, love from Brazil

[@TheEthNick]

What a track. This is the JEW I love.
I’d love to hear more of this track coming together, with each individual instrument being added.

[@Zecamilleo]

Jim is my favorite youtuber

[@pahoaproductionsgamingeats9577]

This is awesome!!! Just found these videos

[@RealRobMurray]

Yo man LOVE these videos! Thank you! Super encouraging.

[@ts_editor]

Sometimes, when I don't know what to play, I just play 23.

[@ARAudio_]

Definitely dive into these previous bits as much as possible. So so interesting. Longer videos on this would be great to see!

[@shelkonnery]

There's something so special about this song, Jim!

[@imyourmutter]

LOVE IT!

[@maaaaalarkey7764]

His shark shirt is the best

[@sch2412]

i cannot listen to 23 or polaris anymore. it's like instant melancholy and sadness. they are truly amazing songs and futures is a masterpiece

[@aligarey1926]

My all time favorite Jimmy Eat World song. 😍

[@freaksarise]

I own a studio, am a songwriter and performer, am heavily inspired by your work and really dig what you've been doing durin the "weird time" (lockdown). Looking fwd to more. Make sure you span them out so you don't run out of content haha. Thanks man!

[@the.seagull.35]

Awesome Jim. Thanks for putting this out there

[@theburritoninj4]

That’s super hilarious. I can totally picture everyone in the control room being like “....do they know the song is over?” Jake: “I...uh...may have made a mistake on the notation...I didn’t tell them to end.” Haha so great. Love hearing little stories from the studio, keep em coming!!

[@akatsukijonny]

Thank you for doing this one and forever thank you for making the masterpiece 23 🙏 got me thru my 23rd year and forever thankful meeting y’all after each and every show in every state I saw you guys that year truly made my year the best! 🙏💙🤘

[@michelevisser6811]

might be my favourite jimmy eat world song

[@oliviathomas7918]

Very cool! My favorite song 💜

[@starfox878]

rumor has it that the symphony is still holding those notes

[@prahadrumsofficial]

23 used to be me and my ex's song, so cool to see this footage, unrelated but she recently tried to "add" me on Linkedin, I SMASHED that ignore button, good song though

[@michelevisser6811]

i also think it’s funny that you mentioned the cure because this song and the intro especially has always reminded me of something on disintegration

[@photomakerman]

More of this please!

[@somestuffandwhatnot]

Guitar tone videos for futures and bleed American would be fucking incredible

[@pavelkazantsev3771]

And to this day they are still holding that note...

[@bobanoosh]

Jim, please do some guitar tutorials for some of your more tricky songs. Or even the not tricky. I don't care. But as a guitarist myself, I'd love to see how you play certain songs and hear how you came up with certain solos or riffs or bridges.

[@StretchyJackson]

This is so awesome, Jim. Thanks!!

[@brennatavidian9625]

I walked down the aisle to the strings of 23 ❤️

[@musicfrk077]

I love these so much, man. Please keep them coming!!

[@agreen182]

Really enjoying the videos you’re putting out Jim!

[@LatentPoet]

Is there anyway to just listen to the strings version of this song? Similarly to the Beatles anthology where you can listen to the strings for the song, something. 23 is obviously my favorite song haha

[@robgoc]

Hey Jim! Long time first time. Haven’t listened since the BEGINNING beginning, but long enough to have listened to the Sweetness demo so many times that I was sad when you cut the acoustic solo on the album version :) the interview videos have been great but please continue to dedicate time and go even further on inside info to past JEW songs in general please! That’s the shiz.

[@JamesMcNulty]

Love these little insights 😊

[@AshArAis]

Brilliant

[@jefflikeusual20]

Such a tease to hear that segment.. how cool would it be to hear the multi tracks to 23?!

[@ss_2329_]

I love you guys!!! 🖤

[@JordanEsker]

It works for the classic Jimmy Eat World infinite sustain!

[@notjustaplugin9810]

This is sooo awesome 🔥🔥🔥 Thanks Jim!!!

[@ss_2329_]

2:28 🙂

[@danielpuente2162]

wow thats some sustain

[@theforeverlasting6786]

Rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

[@MrAdrianloera]

That's so sad because they're actually really expensive strings yet I grew up thinking they sounded like keyboard strings 🥴

[@greggotti9740]

It reminds me of the strings on Vapour Trail by Ride. Wish they were higher in the mix.

[@olliemac32]

It would have been cool to have heard the whole take on its own. Awesome content though! 👍

[@science2726]

I'd love to see you interview Davie from Promise Ring. That guy is the coolest

[@henrytomasso7394]

23 :3

[@fdhoyos]

Lol imagine if that chart was meant for an opera singer

[@SilentServiceCode]

omg please let me remix this song

[@flowersnaught9380]

23 , 2:33 minutes long huh. Coincidence? I think not.

[@mototraining265]

Eres la.verga Jim

[@shtty17]

Did not hate this

[@hasnablinawati]

:)
