Darondo- Didn't I (First Listen)

[@crestenify]

First heard this on Breaking Bad! Great song!

[@danieldickerson7143]

yes right after Walter blows up the douches car lol

[@TallGreyMan]

They start listening at around 2:40. You're welcome. Have a nice day.

[@rosenfield10]

This was fun. 3.0. Welcome back, Manny.

[@steelydon3928]

Its the guitar chords that do it for me. So beautiful.

[@sm7baller435]

Dad used to play this a lot, damn

[@moviestar9617]

I'm old so I'm not familiar with Childish Gambino, but if you know Al Green - Sly Stone you will understand where some of Darondo vocal dynamics are coming from.

[@Rob-ht1mu]

Thanks for recognizing this beautiful song, brings tears to my eyes every time.

[@gdtimi]

Darondo created a masterpiece.

[@Grizazzle]

Nice, easy going song. Thanks, guys! Good to see another JPMP review and the new set! Speaking of Adrian Belew, listen to the song Matte Kudasai from King Crimson (studio version, please!). Not only is his guitar work on display, but his awesome singing too! I think you'd both love it.

[@TheCorrectAnswer56]

I like it for being laid back and chill. Couple surprises in there as well which I don’t mind. I would play it in the background.

[@SergelenBayasgalan-jg2ct]

Omg i love your content!

[@peppernagre3126]

Welcome back guys! I liked this ok. Give it about 3.

[@JeromeDukes]

Warms the heart watching a new JMPM reaction. Not sure if this is a first listen for me, the song sounds very familiar. I liked the guitar and bass mostly and the easy going pace. I also liked the vocals, sorta reminded me of Smokey Robinson.

[@jpmp1201]

Ooo Smokey Robinson, very true

[@dianasalazar6184]

I'd categorize this more with soul than funk.

[@dianasalazar6184]

Update: okay you guys corrected yourselves

[@d0ntfeedphil447]

Listen to A Certain Romance by Arctic Monkeys from the album Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not (2006)

[@neomerlyn]

What? That’s Darondo, man! That was his Sistine Chapel

[@cat-o-matic]

The band's back together! Yeaaaaa! I got at least 1 word for this tune: nice! The vocals are very interesting, so much that I paid limited attention to the other sounds. I'm surprised I never heard of this guy before. Score 4.0 with appreciation for the 70s.

[@jaybird4093]

It's good to see the two of you together again! Nice song choice to kick things off again. Music >4, vocals

[@sidecardog5244]

5 top shelves. Not the Costco kind, but teak or Norwegian wood. Simple but elegant. Love blues guitar. See John Hiatt’s ‘Old Habits’. Maybe you can find it in the bargain bin :) Ps, good to see you guys back together. Kinda like a burger with 🍟. Not just ordinary fries, but natural cut with spicy seasoning.

[@jpmp1201]

Now I want fries😅

[@fredm8838]

I really like your vibe guys

[@callmeoutlaw6601]

Welcome back Gentleman Now how about Penicillin Penny by Dr Hook. Do the live version guys. You'll love it.

[@BrianR.]

Good to see Manny back.

[@DaMoonman1]

Trying to be sneaky with this upload I see . Well then here is a suggestion Ihlo - Hollow

[@jpmp1201]

Haha, I just put it up when I finished editing 😅

[@peppernagre3126]

I thought it was sneaky too!

[@danparsons7855]

Couldn't even hear a guitar? Literally starts with it. I'd suggest listening to more older music, learn about the instruments and then comment on them. Was painful to listen to this review

[@kennethmoore2206]

take in consideration these are young men. Older people like myself and im assuming you are more inclined to know what to keep our ears out for. take for instance they relate the vocals to childish. i applaud them for expanding their musical tastes.

[@kingghidorah1212]

@@kennethmoore2206 But, regardless. Just cause they're young isn't an excuse. Anyone with an ear for music would know that was a guitar right off the bat. Also the random comparison to Gambino was funny.

[@bananacakesmckanzee7290]

@@kennethmoore2206 dude who doesn’t know what a guitar sounds like?

[@kennethmoore2206]

@@bananacakesmckanzee7290 with this generation and the killing of our school music programs I can see where the unfamiliarity of different instrument sounds can be a thing. As simple as the recognition of a guitar intro is there are those out there that maybe never heard one with the program heavy production that goes on today. I’m just spitballing here lol

[@bananacakesmckanzee7290]

@@kennethmoore2206 I see what you mean, but I’d say guitar is too distinguishable of an instrument, just as piano, drums or even violin are. These 4 are distinct based on their unique sound from another, and their basic as far mainstream media goes (btw not only in the music industry, but in portrayals in movies tv etc.).You think of “instrument” and you most likely think of these, not computers, even if that’s the rage these days. Now if it was something like woodwind or brass instruments, then sure since they really do require more musical knowledge and attention to distinguish the different instrumental families and then instruments within a family (based on their range, tone, etc).

[@tonyt6481]

It sounds like a old school in a little bit of Macy Gray good sound like the song give me the 3.8

[@Matt..G]

This song I give a generous 2.0 ... * just throwing this out there. “Higher Ground” by Stevie Wonder ✌🏼

[@jpmp1201]

We should dedicate have some SW on...

[@jpmp1201]

Definitely*

[@paullebon323]

Didn't hear a guitar? Okay, I'm out dummies.

terrible review
