[@RadialMedal]

Pressing "0" on my numpad at the beginning in rhythm with you saying "Song Generator" is more than vaguely inspiring me to loop it and add all sorts of nasty drums and keys to turn it into a banger.

[@felixmarques]

okay I thought “silent lullaby” was the perfect bullshit title, but the moment you got to “truth never spoken, / a silent lullaby” those are genuinely intriguing lyrics

[@bronsoncarder2491]

Absolutely. Not speaking your truth is equivalent to trying to help a child sleep by... doing nothing. You don't help anyone or anything, you can't change the world, without starting with a spoken truth.

[@bronsoncarder2491]

@@Tomhug03 They're all just vague references to jesus, the songs don't actually mean anything more than "praise jesus."

[@danielryuusei881]

I think there are a lot of Christian songs with way deeper meaning than 90% of nowadays pop songs. But churches don't use them during worships and some might label them as just pop songs mentioning Jesus.

This is so true!!! I played drums in a church for like 20 years. It’s uncanny how true this is.

Have we ever gotten backstory on the studio? Are they renting it out every video or do they own it? Also, Andrew and Rob don’t live near each other right? I love SONIC BOOM I think a Q&A episode would be awesome.

I think they rent it out for a day or two and then film the whole season in one go

[@exchlodus_]

Yeah it's Noble St. Studios in Toronto

[@DominusFeles]

My guess is that they do one week of hard work and lot’s of fun and walk out with half a year worth of content. No idea how close to reality that guess is though 🙃

[@JackieTheCatfox]

​@@DominusFeles It is pretty close! From an interview I read somewhere, it's just that, they rent it for the week and they film the whole season there, several videos each day

[@althejazzman]

It's the B Roll with the "house band" that confuses me. At first I thought they pre recorded canned reactions, but then the reactions kept getting more specific, so they must have to get dressed up and set up for the house band B Roll after every song is completed.

Have a collection of them, such a unique sound ❤ I think I first fell in love with them again, after watching your video (I've had an Indian one for many years, but it sat in the closet, until I saw your video). Also have a collection of banjo ukes, I inherited from my dad, but they all need new heads. Think it's time to fix them up, after being inspired by this video. Thanks for sharing this world of world music 🎶🌎🎶

Life is weird, man. Sometimes you gotta just shut your brain off and bask in the simultaneous absurdity and beauty of it all. Bravo.
