Believe it or not, this was the VERY FIRST song i ever heard of Dirty Loops… it came up on my feed on RUclips and i thought “The title alone will keep this off the airwaves, so it deserves investigation…” Holy crap! I found Jacob Collier, Snarky Puppy and Dirty Loops in a relatively short span of time and i haven’t recovered… nor do i want to, tbh
I am a 60-year-old drummer who has played in a progressive trio for 40 years. We can't touch this stuff! I have heard so many people say" I just want to quit now" when they hear this stuff from dirty loops. As a player who considers myself pretty darn good, I shrivel up when I hear this stuff. To be young again! These guys know how to stay out of each other's way and still blow the listener away with incredibly detailed parts on their own instruments. Holy cow!
I would like to celebrate the The Swedish model for municipal music schools for all our immensely talented musicians in Sweden …. An institution that make it possible for All kids here to start learning an instrument…. And encourage both talent And joy in music….Dirty loops is definitely a huge testament for this, love them Btw… the bass is definitely the spine in a good song.. as you said.. serving both the melody And the beat
Thank you, Charlie! This one was my introduction to Dirty Loops a couple years back, and I've been a richer person ever since. Dirty Loops - the gift that keeps on giving. Again, thank you. Looking forward to your next one. Cheers!
Hahaha, your reaction was wonderful. This song is one of my absolute favourites by them, and I never get tired of it. It's bonkers good. You're completely right about them not caring about appealing to the masses. Of course they're happy that people like what they do, but that's not their reason for doing it. They started the band in 2008, as a hobby project just for fun, as they were bored with the restrictions that comes with session gigs, and wanted a sort of safe place where they could do whatever they wanted, in whatever way they wanted. As Henrik put it in an interview, a place where you could do all the things that would get you fired from a gig. :) They only did really twisted jazz fusion covers of hit songs back then, and when they put up their first video in 2010, it was just as a booking reference, to see if they could get a gig or two. Still just for fun, as they thought their stuff would be too unsexy for anyone to really like it. Turns out they were very wrong about that, haha. They're still doing things just the way they want it, and refuse to compromise with their artistic integrity in any way, and that is one of the reasons I admire them so much. They won't do anything that's not musically motivated, full stop. Also, what you said about Henrik filling in all the spaces? That's actually exactly what he's doing. When they record they start out with a simple keyboard version, put drums on it, then Jonah records the proper keys, and last Henrik puts his stuff on, and he has actually said outright that he tries to fill in all the holes. They've taken 'more is more' to a new level. When I went to see them live this summer, they even hade a voice recording that said "What do you mean 'less is more'? More is more!" at one point during the show. :D And let me tell you, Work Shit Out was a brilliant experience live, as it took a slightly different direction through the improvised solos. Absolutely great! Jonah said, in a long interview on Stratele Studios youtube channel, that when they were playing the solos back, during the video recording of this song, he had to transcribe his own solo from the recording, as it's partly improvised, and said it was difficult to play it back exactly the way it was, especially rhythmically. Aron had to do the same for the drum solo, and Jonah said he didn't miss a single beat when playing it back. That dude is downright ridiculous. Yes, I am indeed fangirling. Like mad. They are so insanely good. How could I not? :D
So good to hear, Lotta! And so funny what you said about that ‘more is more’ story 😂 I read that ‘less is more’-comment somewhere, in their Samsung Galaxy comment section I think ;) Fair enough, you can’t argue with taste and listening habits, -but still, it’s funny that those three dudes picked on that, hilarious! And hearing them play live would absolutely make…my day, no: my life 😊 xx
@@fiddlestix3025 They've been all about the "more is more" approach, ever since the beginning, before they blew up on internet, and they're not even trying to hide it. It has become a standing joke at this point. :D And yes, if you ever get the chance to see them live, take it! You would absolutely love it!
@@lottawiklund8606 I think the ‘more is more’ attitude also stems from their wit and incredible sense of humour. I read somewhere that they’d borrowed it from Yngwie Malmsteen who’d said in an interview ‘How can less be more, it’s impossible. More is more.’ And yes, I remember a concert of theirs when they played the original Yngwie’s phrase after Henrik’ mindblowing solo 😁 That was just hilarius.
GREAT reaction, thank you. I know what you mean about Henrik - I'm 70, and I'd be so proud if he were my grandson. He seems so comfortable in his skin, and he's adorable. I just can't even
You (and your son/daughter as well) would've had to start reeeeeally early to have him as a grandson though. He's 37. He'd be more likely to be your son, in that case, I think. :D
The only way I can describe how connected these cats are is to say… they are triplet sons of different mothers. They are just joined together from the heart.
Charlie! I so enjoy watching your reactions! About a quarter of the way in on this one, I was thinking to myself, I have to tell him that when I enjoy watching someone's channel and feel like we'd be friends for real, my theory is that we share an ancestor OR our ancestors were friends! Then shortly after that you commented about Henrik being the happiest Emo and you feel a connection with him and you know you could be friends. That's exactly how I feel! I was introduced to DL back in like 2011 or so and was at their first show in Nashville on their first American tour. I got to spend time with Henrik and Aron after that show. THE NICEST GUYS! Jonah didn't come with us because he was whipped tired but Henrik was sooooo fun! I've worked in the music scene here in Nashville for about 12 years so working with guys with this level of musicianship is a delightful part of my job! I wanna see photos of their Mom's pregnant with them because at this point, I'm inclined to believe they were all test tube babies in a music lab somewhere in Sweden! 🤣🤣🤣 I'm a musician myself so their skill blows my mind! 🤯 So glad I know of them...and so glad to be subscribed to your channel!
Nothing more beautiful than a musician finding Dirty Loops and getting it. Do yourself a favour, as a vocalist, try “Next to you” for your next reaction.
@@Bo2diddly thanks for that, and yes I’ve seen this one, soo much fun to watch, absolutely hilarious how they’re trying to ‘crack that code’… 🤣 one hell of a singing lesson, and made me appreciate Jonah’s skills even more! There is another YT vid where his vocal range (and also specifically his belting range) is being analyzed -super interesting as well… 👍
I think they all went to the Royal Academy of Music. Not sure of the name though don't remember what I read. Aron and Henrik studied Jazz in the same classes. Jonah studied Classical!
Wonderful reaction as always. When a reactor shares not only their thoughts but their emotions it makes for a really special "shared" experience. Thanks so much. Felt no need to mention DL specifically because: A) what else can I say, and B) what you said covers the bases about as well as anyone. Again great job!
I'm a 66 year old keyboard player and I've been following Dirty Loops for about 11 years. Before they came along, music wasn't very exciting to me any more. I have since been re-invigorated! I love how they blend their virtuosity into wondrous, "Loopified" arrangements and have so much fun doing it.
Moon River is pretty much my favourite thing he's done. Although I can't give it the actual top spot because his Home Tiny Desk version of He Won't Hold You actually saved my life.....
@@TheCharlieSmithChannel As a keyboard guy, I hope you've discovered Valeriy Stepanov. Here's an awesome live concert: ruclips.net/video/qq2tu-vAOns/видео.html
It is spectacular and unique, whatever they are doing. I still have not seen them live, but I am going to before I am gone. Cheers from southern Italy!
Love your reactions! Especially the Dirty Looos ones. I will watch each and every DL-reaction that you do and I know there are many of us. Great work, many thanks!
I saw these guys in their first show in USA (NY). Got myself a signed cap and T-shirt and could also speak to them in my Swedish native tounge. As a hobby musician I am beyond words in how to even describe what they are doing with music. Besides being ridicilously good instrumentalists their tightness is absurdly good, along with the actual compositions. I look forward to follow these guys for a looong time. Phew, what a treat to hear them play!!!
Thanks for your reaction! 🙂 One of the first songs I heard with Dirty Loops. Many people I showed it to think it is too much going on. I still love it!
Not new to 'Loops, but sorta new to your channel... BRAVO!!! Love the enthusiasm, the energy, but more than anything, your sincerity!!! Was right there with you on this one... I've watched a bunch of reaction vids to this track and it just never gets old.... your comments are spot on. Very well done!
These guys met at a special high school-for-the-arts, and then attended all four years of University of Stockholm music school together. Henrik and Aron practiced together every day, at least five hours a day, working at keeping grooves going as long as possible until one of them fell out. They made a game/competition out of it. That means that over the course those four years, they spent literally THOUSANDS of hours of staying in the pocket together. (My calculations make it closer to 5000 hours in 4 years.) THAT, is how they can now just look at each other and read what's going on. That is how they achieved such a high level of virtuosity together. In addition to all the playing they did as a trio, and with all the other lessons and performance group participation that goes along with being a music major. Our great good fortune indeed!!
“The audacity” was my favorite part lol! Cuz I was over here like “FACTS”! The gall of it all. I love it, though. I love that there is something for everyone in everything they do. As a non-musician, I may not understand it all technically, but I don’t want to, either. I just want to listen and enjoy. And I always do. I love what you said about all of them having their moment to shine. Henrik didn’t even have a solo and he was still snappin’. Especially during the choruses, he stood out the most to me. I guess I’m just drawn to his sound more. I also love what you said about the way he looks. He is the absolute most joyful emo on earth lol! I can’t wait for you to do “Next to You” if you haven’t heard it already. Church vibes all day on that one.
🤣 such a fun comment, Jamila 😂 And so true, everything you say, I find. Henrik - out of this world with how he carries and drives the band and every tune in the most snappiest and best way possible -he’s THE BEST! But then, all three of them are THE BEST lol! Audacity for days!! 😂
Wonderful reaction, my jaw dropped already on the long bass note in the "intro". And remained there, just like yours. Been singing since I was 8, playing guitar since 14, synth and bass for... 35 years plus. Never drums. And this band (3 kids from a music school in Stockholm) insult me by doing their masterpiece without a guitar (my main instrument and passion). And with a drum solo beyond belief. Cannot think of a more humbling lesson for a musician than listening 10 times to this song. (((Yes, I'm also Swedish, so bias may be the case. But hardly the whole case)))
Work shit out is epic! For someone like me who doesn't listen much to music, every time listening to it is such an amazing time, I can appreciate more and more of it, and it just sounds better each time. My joy is certainly enhanced a lot by great reactions such as yours! It helps me to hear more and understand more. I find it wonderful to listen to Work shit out, not least the piano part. I haven't heard anyone commenting on the "wind chimes" before, thanks for that! Did you notice Aron's really fast single foot kicking? Someone else can perhaps tell you why he uses only the one foot.
Bro, I’ve known of these guys since like 2014, they started circulating on “the Tube”, I was doing my undergrad degree at the time and it was like nothing I’d ever heard - even today, there’s no-one like them and they’re still way beyond comprehension lmfao! If you’re interested, these songs are off their most recent EP, and there’s one on there called ‘Breakdown’ and it’s one for the feels (plus Jonah reaches vocal heights in there right near the end that are (I think) his HIGHEST! 😳)
“Breakdown” is nuts, yeah Matthew 🔥 I found a video on Jonah’s vocal range here: ruclips.net/video/RpQSsuU7Gj4/видео.html And beyond his vocal agility, he’s got the most beautiful and soulful voice too, I think…. ☺️
@@fiddlestix3025 Oh yeah, 1000% Some of the stuff from his solo album cuts through you like a machete (not the best description, but I think it serves its purpose! 👌🏼) Thanks for the link, I’ll check it out!
Love your reactions. As a pro session singer for 38 years and an average guitar/keyboard player I watch this and melt. These guys and Snarky Puppy just show you what's possible. Amazing
Hey Charlie, I’m totally with you, it’s mind-melting, brain-frying stuff… To me, listening to this piece is like being catapulted into a different universe. Not a hope for me of ever becoming a RUclipsr, for all powers of speech and straight thinking would elude me, reacting to something like that…. 😂 I really loved that you focused on Jonah’s piano/keys playing. It always blows my mind how he plays ‘across’ the beats and bars, always so liquid and lush in a way. Chopin et al come to mind… As well as Egberto Gismonti, the great Brazilian pianist and multi instrumentalist, -especially in the ‘wind chime’ bit, I thought, with some Latin-sounding percussion going on in the background. Then there is that berimbau going all the way through the whole song, adding another Brazilian element to this. So to me, this other universe has a decided jungle feel to it 😉 Also found it super interesting what you said about Henrik’s style of bass playing here, how he straddles the percussive as well as melodic side of the band. He’s like the superglue between Aron’s and Jonah’s playing, such a force to be reckoned with, -and my god, the sound of his bass on that beginning riff! All three of them are musical beasts, and for them to come together, form a band, AND have so much fun together, is just criminal. Simon Petrén who mixes and masters all of their tracks, deserves some major kudos as well, I think. If you enjoyed Jonah’s piano skills, he also plays some mean piano/keys on their Samsung Galaxy ringtone version, as well as on a track called “Coffee Break” (a solo project of Jonah’s), as well as on DLoops’ piece “Coffee Break Is Over” 😉…. Oh man, and of course on everything else. Awesome reaction, thanks, really enjoyed it! 🔥👍🙏
Can I just say, your comments are bomb. Thank you. You're able to articulate some things that I am not so I find your comments very informative. Thank you for them and thank you for being here. You're valued 👊🏼
@@TheCharlieSmithChannel my pleasure 100%, and thanks for letting us listen with your ears for a while 🙏 -looking forward to more DL blown-awayness, for sure ;)
@@TheCharlieSmithChannel just to add, we get that from you also, reactors should stop and tells us what they hear, or an anecdote they are reminded of or whatever. If I want to hear the whole song without stopping I know where it is. We are avid for reactors and each other's comments because we get to experience a first listen again (vicariously), and learn more about the music, the musicians, and life!
Yes,that would be a really good video to react to. And then “Hit me” which was the first song I heard from them as they were plying at Eurovision Song Contest and I almost fell of the coach (and I would not like to be entering the stage after them). You are about to have the time of your life, Charlie!
O berimbau ou hungo, também conhecido como berimbau de peito em Portugal e hungu na África, é um instrumento de corda com origem em Angola e tradicional da Bahia. É também conhecido entre os angolanos como m'bolumbumba, e utilizado pelos quimbundos, ovambos, nyanekas, humbis e khoisan.
How can you not stop so much? If you didn't stop as much as you did I would doubt your credibility. There are essays worth of things you could say about with this song. Every chance we get to hear your insight is valuable. Pause even more please, if that means I can learn from an experienced vocalist.
Haha I've loved your comments Mike. They put a smile on my face. It's tough becauae so many people bitch about stopping a lot, but they don't realise that not only is this a review, but if I don't stop the video and ensure that this doesn't become a substitute for the original then I am in breach of copyright law becauae it doesn't fall under fair use. The number of times I have to explain this to people is crazy. You are right though, there are endless things you coukd say about Dirty Loops. I don't even have the vocabulary to articulate most of it
Enjoyed your review of this classic, which could never be replicated by any other band. The talent and chemistry of this band is off the charts. The amazing thing is this same song is just as impressive performed in front of an audience. No studio magic here...it's the real deal. Jonah is an incredible vocalist, composer, and keyboard player. Since you are also a vocalist, I think you should checkout Dimash from Kazakhstan. Many consider him to be the greatest singer on the planet. He can sing in 15 languages, speaks many of them, and has more than a seven octave vocal range. He also plays multiple instruments, acts (including comedy) and composes music. There are so many of his performances to choose from, but I would start with his Digital Show SOS performance, which will give you a good taste of why he gets the accolades. He performs in many genres. I think his take on Ave Maria is the most beautiful song I have ever heard, and I have heard a ton of music in my 76 years. Hope you go there...it will be a mind-blowing treat.Thanks again for your reaction to my favorite band.
Pause as much as you'd like. We appreciate the wisdom from someone who knows what they're talking about. Stop all you like. There is far too much to enjoy and talk about so feel free to stop all you like. I for one, don't mind at all. Its better for it even
@Charlie Smith. Hey Charlie, it just dawned on me the lead singer sounds just like Stokley from Mint Condition! Same tone, vocal color, stylings etc. Check it out. :)
I just found your channel and I am in love! If you love Filipino artists you should check out Through the Fire × Piano in The Dark cover by Gigi de Lana and as well as her cover of It's All Coming Back to Me and Charice Pempengco Note to God, but the one where she's on Oprah. I promise you will not be disappointed! Keep up the good work, Charlie! :)
I agree we’re lucky to have them however it’s sad how this music isn’t appreciated. It’ll never be popular chart music and so many people will pass through life without ever hearing DL ☹️
Great reaction, Charlie! I'm sure others have mentioned it, but if you really want to see Jonah's range, you need to react to Breakdown: ruclips.net/video/p56ahCk49ss/видео.html Keep up the good work!
Hah I loved watching your face do exactly what mine did the first time I heard this. If you haven’t seen Lingus by Snarky Puppy then please do it so I can watch your face do that again.
Morissette's insane vocals is back on wish 107.5 again! wth her Gusto Ko Ng Bumitaw live! Next please,thank you soo much!link👇 ruclips.net/video/cpytykThPdQ/видео.html

Yeah I can understand how a lot of people might think that. You've got to be really musical to appreciate all of it
Have you seen Lotta’s comment?
Just about that, and it’s hilarious :)
Not new to 'Loops, but sorta new to your channel... BRAVO!!! Love the enthusiasm, the energy, but more than anything, your sincerity!!! Was right there with you on this one... I've watched a bunch of reaction vids to this track and it just never gets old.... your comments are spot on. Very well done!
Love this reaction! So much emotion and substance.
Love your reaction Charlie, you have fantastic taste and insight! 🙂Greetings from the DL-motherland. Keep ´em coming!
These guys met at a special high school-for-the-arts, and then attended all four years of University of Stockholm music school together.
Henrik and Aron practiced together every day, at least five hours a day, working at keeping grooves going as long as possible until one of them fell out. They made a game/competition out of it. That means that over the course those four years, they spent literally THOUSANDS of hours of staying in the pocket together. (My calculations make it closer to 5000 hours in 4 years.)
THAT, is how they can now just look at each other and read what's going on.
That is how they achieved such a high level of virtuosity together. In addition to all the playing they did as a trio, and with all the other lessons and performance group participation that goes along with being a music major.
Our great good fortune indeed!!
“The audacity” was my favorite part lol! Cuz I was over here like “FACTS”! The gall of it all. I love it, though. I love that there is something for everyone in everything they do. As a non-musician, I may not understand it all technically, but I don’t want to, either. I just want to listen and enjoy. And I always do. I love what you said about all of them having their moment to shine. Henrik didn’t even have a solo and he was still snappin’. Especially during the choruses, he stood out the most to me. I guess I’m just drawn to his sound more. I also love what you said about the way he looks. He is the absolute most joyful emo on earth lol! I can’t wait for you to do “Next to You” if you haven’t heard it already. Church vibes all day on that one.
I just love your comments Jamila. Thank you for them. 'Next to you' will be next 😁😁♥️
@@TheCharlieSmithChannel thank you, sir. I appreciate that I can be authentic over here.
🤣 such a fun comment, Jamila 😂
And so true, everything you say, I find.
Henrik - out of this world with how he carries and drives the band and every tune in the most snappiest and best way possible -he’s THE BEST! But then, all three of them are THE BEST lol! Audacity for days!! 😂
Wonderful reaction, my jaw dropped already on the long bass note in the "intro". And remained there, just like yours. Been singing since I was 8, playing guitar since 14, synth and bass for... 35 years plus. Never drums. And this band (3 kids from a music school in Stockholm) insult me by doing their masterpiece without a guitar (my main instrument and passion). And with a drum solo beyond belief. Cannot think of a more humbling lesson for a musician than listening 10 times to this song. (((Yes, I'm also Swedish, so bias may be the case. But hardly the whole case)))
"Where does talent actually end ?"
Errrrr ... I don't know ... They haven't finished showing me where 🤣
Work shit out is epic! For someone like me who doesn't listen much to music, every time listening to it is such an amazing time, I can appreciate more and more of it, and it just sounds better each time. My joy is certainly enhanced a lot by great reactions such as yours! It helps me to hear more and understand more. I find it wonderful to listen to Work shit out, not least the piano part. I haven't heard anyone commenting on the "wind chimes" before, thanks for that! Did you notice Aron's really fast single foot kicking? Someone else can perhaps tell you why he uses only the one foot.
Nice reaction. You do realise that Henrik (Linder) is an Alien from the Planet Groove, yes?
Bro, I’ve known of these guys since like 2014, they started circulating on “the Tube”, I was doing my undergrad degree at the time and it was like nothing I’d ever heard - even today, there’s no-one like them and they’re still way beyond comprehension lmfao! If you’re interested, these songs are off their most recent EP, and there’s one on there called ‘Breakdown’ and it’s one for the feels (plus Jonah reaches vocal heights in there right near the end that are (I think) his HIGHEST! 😳)
“Breakdown” is nuts, yeah Matthew 🔥
I found a video on Jonah’s vocal range here:
ruclips.net/video/RpQSsuU7Gj4/видео.html
And beyond his vocal agility, he’s got the most beautiful and soulful voice too, I think…. ☺️
@@fiddlestix3025 Oh yeah, 1000% Some of the stuff from his solo album cuts through you like a machete (not the best description, but I think it serves its purpose! 👌🏼) Thanks for the link, I’ll check it out!
@@wilksy2008 well said! 👍🔥👌
Love your reactions. As a pro session singer for 38 years and an average guitar/keyboard player I watch this and melt. These guys and Snarky Puppy just show you what's possible. Amazing
I'm honoured that you enjoy my videos. Thank you
Bro already knows arons solo is coming. (Cuz both Aron and Charlie Smith are Him)
They gummed up your works 🤣 Happens to the best of us. Words go on strike for a bit. You gotta check out Next To You frfr 🔥❤️💯
🤣
Hey Charlie, I’m totally with you, it’s mind-melting, brain-frying stuff…
To me, listening to this piece is like being catapulted into a different universe.
Not a hope for me of ever becoming a RUclipsr, for all powers of speech and straight thinking would elude me, reacting to something like that…. 😂
I really loved that you focused on Jonah’s piano/keys playing. It always blows my mind how he plays ‘across’ the beats and bars, always so liquid and lush in a way. Chopin et al come to mind…
As well as Egberto Gismonti, the great Brazilian pianist and multi instrumentalist, -especially in the ‘wind chime’ bit, I thought, with some Latin-sounding percussion going on in the background. Then there is that berimbau going all the way through the whole song, adding another Brazilian element to this. So to me, this other universe has a decided jungle feel to it 😉
Also found it super interesting what you said about Henrik’s style of bass playing here, how he straddles the percussive as well as melodic side of the band. He’s like the superglue between Aron’s and Jonah’s playing, such a force to be reckoned with, -and my god, the sound of his bass on that beginning riff!
All three of them are musical beasts, and for them to come together, form a band, AND have so much fun together, is just criminal.
Simon Petrén who mixes and masters all of their tracks, deserves some major kudos as well, I think.
If you enjoyed Jonah’s piano skills, he also plays some mean piano/keys on their Samsung Galaxy ringtone version, as well as on a track called “Coffee Break” (a solo project of Jonah’s), as well as on DLoops’ piece “Coffee Break Is Over” 😉….
Oh man, and of course on everything else.
Awesome reaction, thanks, really enjoyed it! 🔥👍🙏
Can I just say, your comments are bomb. Thank you. You're able to articulate some things that I am not so I find your comments very informative. Thank you for them and thank you for being here. You're valued 👊🏼
@@TheCharlieSmithChannel my pleasure 100%, and thanks for letting us listen with your ears for a while 🙏
-looking forward to more DL blown-awayness, for sure ;)
@@TheCharlieSmithChannel just to add, we get that from you also, reactors should stop and tells us what they hear, or an anecdote they are reminded of or whatever.
If I want to hear the whole song without stopping I know where it is. We are avid for reactors and each other's comments because we get to experience a first listen again (vicariously), and learn more about the music, the musicians, and life!
Must add that the piano solo on “Circus” back in the days is so brilliant and tasteful.
@@fiddlestix3025 He's completely right. Your comments are gold!
Look at it this way Charlie, it is like the three cleverest kids in class join forces to do a project!!
They are something extra.......
Man you must check out Jonah Nilsson - Diamond Ring ft Steve Vai. It's the singer from Dirty Loops. Such a Michael jackson feel to it :)
Yes,that would be a really good video to react to. And then “Hit me” which was the first song I heard from them as they were plying at Eurovision Song Contest and I almost fell of the coach (and I would not like to be entering the stage after them). You are about to have the time of your life, Charlie!
Love these guys! Great review! As a fellow pianist you very much echo my feelings.
Exactly 👌
Great reaction heart and brain
Crazy cool music. I would jam it as instrumental!
Moro no Brazil. Você é perfect!
Brazil? Berimbau?
O berimbau ou hungo, também conhecido como berimbau de peito em Portugal e hungu na África, é um instrumento de corda com origem em Angola e tradicional da Bahia. É também conhecido entre os angolanos como m'bolumbumba, e utilizado pelos quimbundos, ovambos, nyanekas, humbis e khoisan.
How can you not stop so much? If you didn't stop as much as you did I would doubt your credibility. There are essays worth of things you could say about with this song. Every chance we get to hear your insight is valuable. Pause even more please, if that means I can learn from an experienced vocalist.
Haha I've loved your comments Mike. They put a smile on my face. It's tough becauae so many people bitch about stopping a lot, but they don't realise that not only is this a review, but if I don't stop the video and ensure that this doesn't become a substitute for the original then I am in breach of copyright law becauae it doesn't fall under fair use. The number of times I have to explain this to people is crazy.
You are right though, there are endless things you coukd say about Dirty Loops. I don't even have the vocabulary to articulate most of it
Please do «Ciircus» or «Breakdown»
Enjoyed your review of this classic, which could never be replicated by any other band. The talent and chemistry of this band is off the charts. The amazing thing is this same song is just as impressive performed in front of an audience. No studio magic here...it's the real deal. Jonah is an incredible vocalist, composer, and keyboard player. Since you are also a vocalist, I think you should checkout Dimash from Kazakhstan. Many consider him to be the greatest singer on the planet. He can sing in 15 languages, speaks many of them, and has more than a seven octave vocal range. He also plays multiple instruments, acts (including comedy) and composes music. There are so many of his performances to choose from, but I would start with his Digital Show SOS performance, which will give you a good taste of why he gets the accolades. He performs in many genres. I think his take on Ave Maria is the most beautiful song I have ever heard, and I have heard a ton of music in my 76 years. Hope you go there...it will be a mind-blowing treat.Thanks again for your reaction to my favorite band.
I already react to him
@@TheCharlieSmithChannel sorry,,,didn't catch that yet. Will look for your reaction.
Pause as much as you'd like. We appreciate the wisdom from someone who knows what they're talking about. Stop all you like. There is far too much to enjoy and talk about so feel free to stop all you like. I for one, don't mind at all. Its better for it even
Good reaction. Remember to have music in stereo.
Some say they are human. Idk.
@Charlie Smith. Hey Charlie, it just dawned on me the lead singer sounds just like Stokley from Mint Condition! Same tone, vocal color, stylings etc. Check it out. :)
Five thumbs up!!!!!
👽-Jonah 👽-Henrik 👽-Aron
London in november!
Got tickets 😎
The real musicians are with you. Stop it as much as you need to. The rest oh well!
Stop worrying about stopping..
parts of this remind me of Pat Metheny....
🔥🤘🔥
I just found your channel and I am in love! If you love Filipino artists you should check out Through the Fire × Piano in The Dark cover by Gigi de Lana and as well as her cover of It's All Coming Back to Me and Charice Pempengco Note to God, but the one where she's on Oprah. I promise you will not be disappointed! Keep up the good work, Charlie! :)
I agree we’re lucky to have them however it’s sad how this music isn’t appreciated. It’ll never be popular chart music and so many people will pass through life without ever hearing DL ☹️
Great reaction, Charlie! I'm sure others have mentioned it, but if you really want to see Jonah's range, you need to react to Breakdown: ruclips.net/video/p56ahCk49ss/видео.html Keep up the good work!
Look up Virgil Donati, Dave Weckl, Akira Jimbo, Steve Vai, Derek Sherinian and Victor Wooten if you need more extraterrestrial vibes
Mix voice
Hah I loved watching your face do exactly what mine did the first time I heard this. If you haven’t seen Lingus by Snarky Puppy then please do it so I can watch your face do that again.
Morissette's insane vocals is back on wish 107.5 again! wth her Gusto Ko Ng Bumitaw live! Next please,thank you soo much!link👇
