Haha, yes, that outro is so EPIC. Love that you're as enthralled by it as I've always been. I can listen to that part over and over and over and ... :D

[@bobcieslinski]

It was epic. Man I love these guys. Amazing musicians.

[@birger4788]

Fun story: you know this was an Avicii world hit, right? Dirty Loops opened for an Avicii show years ago, but the audience didn’t appreciate them at all and they were buued at.

[@bobcieslinski]

Oh man I can’t believe it. These guys are way too good.

[@zatoichiMiyamoto]

AVICII fans don't have taste in music? No way!

[@pigpag86]

That's from Jonah's interview by Jeff right? I could imagine the general audience not appreciating what they do, but I really had trouble believing how stupid people can be when Jonah shared this incident.

[@JamilaGomez82]

As often as I've listened to this, I never paid attention to the bass run towards the end and I almost threw my phone across the room. Sheesh!

[@bobcieslinski]

🤣

[@fiddlestix3025]

True that 😉 It’s an insane run…

[@robote7679]

Great comments Bob. This is one of my favorite DL songs. The beginning is so soft and lyrical. And then they loopify the roof off it and it totally becomes a DL song-no shade meant on the original. It's just that when DL "cover" something they always interpret it with so much secret sauce the flavor becomes all theirs. Loved that you reacted to this.

[@bobcieslinski]

Hey Robot! They sure did loopify it. Man they just make things so much saucier. I love it.

[@andersgranstrom7128]

There´s a phenomenon here, like: Before and after listening to Dirty Loops. Before: Life is ok, a bit of a drag though... After: All smiles! 🙂

Hey Bob, so glad to see another Dirty Loops reaction from you, and it was awesome! Thanks a ton for that. And this song, seriously it rips your head off, especially in that last section… Someone else also mentions that the original by Avicii was a big hit, not sure if you’ve heard it. But as always, it’s worth listening to the originals which the Loops are covering. Always makes my jaw drop even further ;) I also appreciate how you give due to Jonah’s vocals, and man he sings his heart out! I listen to this tune and the whole Loopified album almost every day, and discover new things and layers every time. Not kidding, and I guess it’ll be like this to the end of time 🤣 there’s so much stuff going on in there. In this song (as in so many others), Jonah’s vocal layering/choir effects in the background are insane, too. Then you’ve got his crazy ways with chord progressions and harmonies on the keys… THEN you’ve got Aron and Henrik doing their thing and being absolute masters in what they’re doing… And that last section?! Who ever would think of dropping something like this at the end of a country-style tune 💥 Although you can feel something evil’s about to happen when you hear those bass lines rocking up :) If that last section is an improv, not sure. I guess some sections in their recordings could be improvised, but on the whole they’re pretty much constructed and written out. What gets me though is how no one ever steps on anyone else’s feet. Everyone gets to shine like crazy for a few seconds, then they go back and someone else gets to blow our minds… I mean it’s what all good bands try to do, but Dirty Loops have taken this to a new level, I feel. Sheesh, they’ve taken EVERYTHING to a new level… Any other song of theirs would make for an awesome reaction from your channel. “Roller Coaster”, “Circus”, and all of the other songs from Loopified, would be a good place to start 😉 Oh and their Samsung Galaxy ringtone version, another must-watch! Thanks for this vid, Bob, it made my day 🙏

[@fiddlestix3025]

Btw, also loved the cover pic of your video, with Jonah laughing -very cool ☺️👍

[@bobcieslinski]

Hey Fiddlestix it’s so great to hear from you again! I have heard the original song and DL just took it and made it epic. Everything they do is so amazing I could listen tot hen all day but then I’d never hear anything else. There is just so much music and so little time. I’m just glad that I get thr opportunity everyday to listen to music. Take care and I look forward to hearing from you again!

[@fiddlestix3025]

@@bobcieslinski yes you’re absolutely right, so much good music out there….. Thanks for writing back. Take care, and I’m looking forward to listening to another DL track with you, and your reaction/analysis to it, one day ☺️👍🙏

Listening that first thing in the morning would WAKE ME UP!!

[@bobcieslinski]

Nice this was one amazing. They are so good.

[@Alx161074]

Hi Bob, great video, I could repeat last section as you did again again and again, piece of art.

[@bobcieslinski]

Thanks yep that was so cool.

[@ztazon]

Hey Bob! Long time since your last DL video, great reaction, as usual. Really? No one noticed Henrik's 7 string bass? The first time I watched and listened to this, my reaction was like: "What is that thing Hernik is playing!?"

[@bobcieslinski]

Hey glad you came back. I’ve seen him with extra string basses enough now that I guess it didn’t register. Thanks!

[@petraljungberg]

Great fun to see your reaction 😃 And thanks for your comments and reflections! The original song was never one of my favourites, so it was interesting to me to hear DL’s take on it. The song is what it is, but I really like what they do with it. Many cool things in there!

[@bobcieslinski]

Thanks Petra! These guys just take anything and make it special.

[@Overlycomplicatedswede]

The drum break at 5:33 🔥🔥🔥 that was clean

[@jgeir5672]

Omg the fill Aron does at 7:26 🤤🤌🏻 ..my brain is melting🫠

[@bobcieslinski]

He’s the baddest drummer in the planet. Those folks are nothing for him. He’s incredible.

[@saranebeling6375]

Thus may have been recorded back when they all were at Stockholm’s a day of Music, where they met I believe? I’ve always wondered if these songs on this album were homework assignments!?

[@bobcieslinski]

You never know. Thanks

[@saranebeling6375]

That word should have been *Academy!

[@lottawiklund8606]

@@saranebeling6375 No, they've known each other longer than that (Henrik and Jonah since middle school, and they got to know Aron when he moved to Stockholm at the age of 16, to attend music high school), and the reason they started Dirty Loops had nothing to do with school work. They started the group in 2008 as a hobby project, to have somewhere to test out all their ideas and have a safe place where noone could tell them what (and what not) to do, as they were a bit bored and frustrated with the restrictions that comes with being a session musician. They didn't exactly know where to start and decided to just take a top 40 song (I think the very first one was Rihanna's Don't Stop the Music) and make a fusion cover of it. They've said in interview that their quite special sound was just there from the start. When they put their first video up on youtube in 2010 (Lady Gaga's Just Dance) it was just as a booking reference, to see if they could get a gig or two, and it was still just for fun, as they believed their music was way too unsexy for anyone to actually like it. They were quite wrong about that though, and their videos went viral rather quickly. 😃

[@fiddlestix3025]

Lotta slayed us again with her in-depth comment, thanks a bunch for this, Lotta, it’s always so interesting. Much appreciated 👍 And Sara, yes this cover is on their very first album, Loopified (someone gave it to me for Christmas ☺️), and so still is an early Dirty Loops piece. And some of the other videos from Loopified look as if they were recorded casually in a music academy-type building, but aren’t actually. Tricky stuff ;)

Just discovered this, Bob. Well done! You may know that Home Free has covered this song. Excellent rendition, but couldn’t be more unlike DL’s. Thanks!

[@bobcieslinski]

Thanks Michael I didn’t know that. Man as far as instrumentalists Dirty Loops are three of the baddest dudes around. They are incredible musicians.

[@robertkaye5434]

That's a 7-string bass Henrik is playing, Not too many people perceive this.

[@bobcieslinski]

Henrik is one of my favorites. He’s a beast.

People forget that they consider themselves to be a jazz band...

[@fiddlestix3025]

Michael, jazz yes, but also so much more, I think. I love the way they seem to defy any genre categorization (maybe that’s called jazz? 😉) To me, it’s the craziest mix of everything, including jazz, soul, rock and funk, but also classical, and I just love it 🫶

[@bobcieslinski]

I’d totally agree with you. They can jazz and funkify any style of music.
