[@RobertStoll]

I love how this remix tells a story that's both fitting for AJR yet original. At the start, we get the profile of a musician in therapy, paranoid something wrong and failure is right around the corner. WE get taken back to the early days of their career, when they were an unknown obsessed with the idea that popularity was success. They get a little success, but at the cost of alienation- still, they continue on. Not everyone is that lucky after all, they should run with it. They starts getting even more famous, to the point they finds themselves fraternizing with other famous people. Yet they're more and more emerging into this world of superficiality, all while self doubt starts to creep in. The turning point comes when they find a childhood picture and are transported back to memories of then. Memories where he was either ignored or berated, never good enough. Suddenly, prior events get new context- they DID make it, thanks to their own will and efforts. Yet in the end the point was never about the success, fame, fast cars, or radio hits; they were yearning for a community to be a part of. The final "I'm still turning out" then marks a new chapter, one where he realizes what he needs, while not bemoaning where he's been.

AJR just affects me in a way no other artists manages to do. I won't stand by every AJR song ever made, but the ones that I like just give me a comfortable cozy experience that no other song can give me. I will never understand why AJR is hated by so many music critics, and I am so excited for Ok Orchestra to be released on March 26th. That album is going to be awesome!!!!!!!!!

[@RightBoyKA-POW]

[@JoshuaFishIndeed]

This is one of the best mixes I've heard, hands down. Technically, it sounds great; it doesn't sound super pitch-shifted, and the cuts are hidden super well. The music video is great as it doesn't just show the original music videos that go with what's being sung, but it also includes clips that add to the mix as an original piece. And the overall emotion... holy cow. lol It feels like I'm watching a movie, and each portion of the mix seems to capture different aspects of AJR from the fun party songs to the incredibly emotional ones. Not to sound too incredibly cringy, but this is more than a conglomerate of AJR's work. This is a commentary and celebratory piece of art. From what it's worth coming from a guy with almost no musical experience, well done!

[@josea.5999]

*ABSOLUTELY AMAZING & INCREDIBLE!!!*

[@jaxon7044]

lol in the description the only parts that got copyright claimed were the clicks overture and don’t throw out my legos. I don’t know how that happened lol

[@dadehorney9848]

I think AJR perfectly grasps that feeling of nostalgia and looking back on childhood as a whole. Just the fact of wanting to grow up and having that oh sh*t moment of realization. “I’m Ready” was the first song I ever heard by them and that’s the one I always run back to (doesn’t help spongebob was clipped sampled and grew up on that). Spending late nights just listening to their albums, get lost in the music. This band is just to beautifully amazing to not be shared. Lots of love for this band. Thanks frens
