Finally someone how actually thinks about it and doesn’t go “lyric no sense boo it bad”
LOL
You know right
@Crystallii hi
Well those are the people who never digged its like having a treasure map but instead of going hmm remnants of something and look for it they just go "Hmm its buried somewhere, welp it'll never be found"
@@JacobRestituto yes lol
overtures are a staple with ajr, its a sort of mashup of all the songs in the album they've done it for their "living room" and "the click" albums, they didn't do it in neotheatre (which was their latest album before this one) because I think they wanted that album to have a different sort of story, but yeah the main melody in this overture is also the main melody of way less sad
Ryan said in an interview that they felt that the whole album was sirt of an overture
@@zoe-maefaulkner100 yeah, there were alot of connections and call backs within the songs in neotheare, which I think is why my fav of the song is the finale, it felt like a whole drop from the build up of the rest of the songs
It’s interesting because this is something that BTS has implemented into their albums too
3:27
Yes! In all their albums expect Neotheater, they have a tradition of making an overture in their albums which is exactly what you said!
An overture is defined as the beginning piece of music that often includes parts of other themes in the show, or in this case, the album. Every single song from each of their albums that has an overture has been snuck into said overture.
Neotheater didn't have one because they made a different opener song early on! As a compromise, every song in Neotheater has a small bit of another song from the same album. Basically making the album itself the overture.
Thanks for that man!
Huh
Ok I'm thinking about it now and IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE NOW
I recognize that PFP from somewhere...
i didn't even know about that but i kind of hear it
This Album's Overture really sounds like it came straight out of a disney film
@@just_a_little_guy1001 cough cough cough *that was the click overture* cough cough
Even the soundtrack can win a grammy. Yes, I know you will say somthing like "Grammys are nothing" but let's say that a Grammy = Emmy = Tony = Oscar. So well
Their overture from the click was in the movie soul’s trailer lol
I've always said that "Bud like you" sounds like hip hop Disney. Like the dwarves from snow white
one of the AJR brothers actually has synesthesia and he says it helps him make music because he can actually SEE the music he’s making
I kinda wish I had that. It just seems so cool.
That's actually pretty cool, I have it too
Was it Ryan?
@@kamisevak yeah it was
i think it was Ryan
OK Orchestra is full of such unique sounds, I really enjoyed listening to it. They absolutely smashed it!!
Lie again
@@sladeTek what the album was amazing
@@vinny3410 ☠️☠️
@@sladeTek what even is this
@@vinny3410 Don't worry, he just being idiotic and mad.
I confidently say that AJR has succeeded in one upping themselves with every album. They became my favorite band back in neotheater and somehow have only gotten better
So cool
@@JacobRestituto I can't believe you replied to a comment on a 2 month old video, your awesome!
AJR needs to have a disney movie where they make all the songs to it
that'd be cool
You mean a Disney movie with just AJR wouldn't that be too good for us to handle or even listen to it because THAT WOULD BE SUCH A "BANG"ER
If there was a movie with just AJR I would be the first one to buy tickets!!
Everyone would be so impressed Disney would be out of the picture only ajr would be what everyone watches and listens to
They are actually working on a Broadway musical. Unrelated to the AJR brand but with some AJRish themes because they’re the ones writing it
AJR's thing with overtures being a medley of the whole album gives me big former theater kid vibes, since that tends to be really common with musicals. (And the fact that I'm picking up on this probably speaks for itself lol)
This! I'm an instrumentalist so I play in the pit at my school's musicals and we typically mash up a bunch of the songs from each act in the overture and entr'acte. This overture is really reminiscent of that! I'm glad other people are seeing that
They said in a livestream that the female voice is a sound effect they apply to their voices. Great video, I love it.
I have finally found a reaction to their music that makes me incredibly happy. When you said they should collab with Jon Bellion, I was like "you just earned a subscriber"
Amazing to see, that an expert can explain how fantastic this music is. As you said most of the people don't recognize how much musicality is inside this. You also should here their other two Overture. They do amazing jobs. But OK Overture is insane.
this is a late comment but a tip if you wanna react to the overtures, listen to every other songs on the album and save overture to last since its the mashup of the entire album into a new song
I think the overtures are meant to be a sort of intro. Listen to the album in order (with overture first) and then listen to it again after knowing how the whole thing goes.
@@ZachTheHuman yea they are you're right? just to prepare you for whats to come
That’s what I love about AJR you never no what your gonna hear, but you know they are gonna deliver
“I like how they have fun with their music” understatement of the week
lol
HE SAID SCREW IT IMA SMILE RIGHT THROUGHT
the overtures are always my favorite on the albums! i was so excited when i saw there was one for oko after they didn’t do one for neotheater. if you watch the music video it will tell you which song is playing at what point!
I love Ajrs music I’ve been a fan of them for a long time now and watching people react to them is fun because AJRs music style is unique and weird. I have literally all of their songs on my playlist and one of the ones that stick out to me is Thirsty it’s really funky and cool. AJR has been one of my favorite since like 2016ish I’ve been trying to convince my parents to let me buy some of their merch from their shop (which is one of my dreams) but they keep on saying no. ☹️ If I could ever go to one of their concerts that would definitely be a dream come true!!
Finally someone who doesn't go "Too much music bad lyrics worst song ever"
Hahaha
Totally, that’s what I have been saying for years, a collab with AJR and JB, and maybe TOP as well
Ajr can really make that epic feeling
This song makes me move and sing along everytime. My brother doesn't care for it but it hits my soul with so much happiness. I absolutely love ajr. Became my most favorite band and I love a ton of their music
For real!
For real!
Because of AJR i can sing now
Each overture from each of their albums is all the songs in the album blended together. If you watch the music video it shows you when which songs play a part in it. It's cool seeing them switch in and out
they truly are amazing at what they do Ryan does a lot of the mixing and stuff but they all equally create these master pieces as brothers which is so cool to me
I clicked on this video waiting for you to say one bad thing about them and their music so I could rant in the comments but I didn't have to so now my respect for you is at the roof. May you never get stuck in traffic, may your phone never die and may both sides of your pillow be cold.
Yeah, all their overtures are a work of all the songs strung together
I know this video came out 2 years ago and will probably never be seen, but I appreciate you actually analyzing the music and explaining the musical composition and theming and everything compared to some reactions being just "oh thats cool" "that sounded awesome" but no actual analysis or explanation as to why it sounds as awesome as it does :)
This whole album to me is like a "Hey Covid sucks but here is an album that is just a vibe to dealing with it and making the best of it all" especially with songs like Way Less Sad and Bummerland (though those are a bit more on the nose)
AJR is now making the music for a Broadway play, so I can’t wait to see!!
Legit!!!
Im happy that someone actually doesnt say its bad.
Im a big fan of AJR, so that warm my heart
In the official Video you can also see what Songs they used for OK Overture.
Like "Adventure is out there" an "World smallest Violin"
🙏🏼🙏🏼
2:35 has an will always be my favorite love AJR so much!!
Hope you react to the other songs as well, Ok Orchestra just sounds really good as a whole.
Finally someone who actually appreciates AJR for there cleverness and creativity of the music they put out instead of saying “ajr bad”, like you can say whatever the heck you want to say about AJR but at least give a reason if it’s bad or not
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you for this positive reaction to AJR! So many people today dong recognize how magical there musical talent. I think it’s just different, and people don’t like it. I share an obsession with AJR like most people in these comments, and I just wanted to say thank you, on behalf of all of us!! ❤️❤️🎺
The overture verse is the only music I can think of that AJR made in 3/4, that's kind of interesting to me. Maybe in future albums they'll play around more with rhythms a bit, I think that could be really cool.
I mean, right off the bat I can think of Livin‘ On Love on Living Room where they switch into a 3/4
@@charlietheis4048 yeah true! I realised that today. But then that's the only other example.
Oh, Alice by the Hudson was completely in 3/4 as well! But in their newer stuff, they've only really used 4/4
Part of Come Hang Out is also in 3/4
@@shortc1rcuit326 yes, just heard that yesterday!
AJR is its own genre of music.
So good
Love this song it’s so Unique because they mash n mix all their songs together and it works so well OMG!!!! GOOSEBUMPS!!! AJR 4EvA❤️🎉🤩😇
🔥
It is refreshing to hear someone who doesn't hate them. I feel like everybody hates AJR for doing what they want and not what the mainstream does.
very interesting!
its fun to listen through and hear when each song has its part in overture.
🙏🏼🙏🏼
They are a mix of all the songs. That's what an overture is.
I like how instead of being like, "They’re just like john bellion ripoff grr", i like how you consider the idea of a collab, because i think that rather than saying that they sound similar, instead think of what would happen if they did stuff like collabs and stuff, because it’s an interesting idea!
Edit: him trying to vibe neutrally and cracking a smile while biting his bottom lip
Edit 2: me not understanding his music language but getting it anyways
🔥🔥🔥🔥
i love that you love the music
Totally
Hi these are cool videos i like to watch them continue what you do it's awesome 👍
As a huge AJR fan, this video is great to see.
Thank you
Omg I wish AJR and Jon Bellion collabed they are two of my absolute favorites!!
Totally
they had overtures for their other albums the click and living room. their previous album, neotheatre, didn't have one tho.
It did have a finale song tho
It had “Next up Forever” as a substitute since that was technically the intro. When you think about it that whole album is pretty much just one big song, they all play into each other in some way.
Nice one ! Jacob I was wondering if you could react to „can’t stop“ by onerepublic?
underrated
I think personnaly that AJR is it own genre.
Legit
thank youu!!
But the one question remains who is Joe?
joe mama
Joe biden
They said in the acoustic livestream that "Joe" wasn't a bully and I think just a person they admired or something.
Joe Jonas
Joe - AJR (Official Lyric Video)
Damn thx for listening to ajr (a suggestion make a screen on one corner of the vid so we can see what happening thx😋）
Thanks!
THATS WHAT IM SAYING! Them and Jon Bellion would be so good together! Also Matt Maeson would sound good with them I think!
Right!!
i think you'd also enioy the turning out trilogy
5:22 is it 3/4? It sounds like 6/8 to me.
Could be!!
Ah yes, here you see someone that actually produces music seeing how amazing their music is instead of someone that has never created any music just listening and giving their opinion and saying that their music is bad...cough cough music critics cough cough.
3:29 yes but only in ok orchestra
😀
also in The Click
This is my fav song 🎵
Nice!
Sick
some of the albums have an overtrue its basically a mashup of the album?
OK Overture is better when you watch the music video with it
Let’s goooooooooo
quadeca Sisyphus
Ajr and Jon bellion would definitely be amazing
FELLOW NEW YORK BOI
ayo
Omg he agrees they should definitely do a song with Jon Bellion 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈
Legit
You shoyld react to the music vid (if you havnt already, i havnt seen all ur vids lol)
Thanks!
AJR is very hit or miss with me, i'm either obsessed with their songs ore i really dont like them.
😳
TH-cam: How many Copyright strikes do you want?
Him: *Yes*
yeah i know its unoriginal but whoever comes up with an original comments end up or r/cringe
Hahahhaa
Someone told me that everyone hates AJR because their music is “cliche” like what? lol
lol
Their music is the most unique thing ever lmao
