[@bookwyrm8181]

An idea for a challenge u could do: make a song from just lyrics, basically take a song you’ve never listened to before, just read the lyrics, and try to construct the rest of the song (melody, rhythms, instrumentals) around the lyrics. Then see how it compares to the original.

[@Username0467]

I love this idea

[@felicialademan3476]

As a level 7 Swiftie, this is indistinguishable from the original

[@moviesquad73]

.............there are levels?

[@ale6588]

​@@moviesquad73i would say theyre trying ti make a joke but i wouldnt be surprised if swifties genuinely made up levels to distinguish themselves from eachother

[@soapy-water]

@@ale6588yeah no they’re joking lmao

[@SubswithNovideos-qj8mq]

​@@ale6588 the levels allow us to distinguish what swifties deserve what. like if ur gonna give away concert tickets level 1 and 2 swifties cant enter because they haven't been fans long enough. While level 8+ swifties would get entered twice. higher level swifties can also qualify for discounts for fan-made merch. Theres also a rule where you must be 5 or higher to speak on behalf of swifties otherwise you get doxxed, so you know just pretty normal stuff. I'm kinda shocked to find out most fandoms dont have ranks.

[@alexyssaubrie1606]

Am I the only one who liked the vocals on “I can make all the tables turn”? It was a little pop punk / emo and makes me want to hear a whole song from Dev in that style. Maybe a panic at the disco song?

[@averyeml]

Screamin’, crimin’ perfect storm

[@wadsworthboy]

I think as the audience, only hearing the one instrument being added is good. It gives a vague idea of what it will sound like, and us hearing what you can't is some nice dramatic irony!

[@syd755]

the inconsistent lyrics are sending me

[@Agnostigga]

this is the first video of this series i’ve seen, and i understand why people were complaining about the music-making-surprise ratio. i just wanna say, she found it. this is perfect. keep it up

[@JetpackGamer456]

this series really teaches you how important it is to mix a song

[@rinmathews9337]

I guess this proves Taylor Swift made this song in a music editor just by picking the second option for everything.

[@LauM]

😂😂😂

[@p1erce.theveil]

dev im actually so suprised how correct this sounds, good job man!!

[@Sleepybrielle]

“We’ll take the nasty stars” Is my favorite lyric from Blank Space

[@jg4prez]

i think Kick Maniac does tease the potential of a video where you intentionally choose the most bizarre noises

[@leebubbles]

OMG YESSSS like she has to make a song with the most out there sounds

[@totallynotanauthor]

Dev: “We need, like, a subtle kick!!” Also Dev: *proceeds to choose the loudest, most blood curdling, blanket gripping, rail grabbing sound ever.*

[@jadeintheshade4038]

you fucking crushed this one, also you should look into court stenography it's fucking wild

[@mitchellzemil4890]

IMO this is the winning formula for this series (listen to the song + take notes, let us hear a lil bit as it comes along, and more or less picking songs you're familiar with), but I do also miss something about you writing lyrics in the style of other artists like the earlier vids. Maybe that can be a separate series, where you make lyrics for existing karaoke/instrumental tracks? Or just find soundcloud beats to rap like Eminem over, I could probably watch that for hours.

[@sqwatsqwadron2248]

waiting for the vocals and the beat to line up gives the same vibe as waiting for the dvd logo to hit the corner of the screen perfectly

You should do this with a guest, where the guest acts as your ears. They can hear the song and have to give you guidance on the process. Ideally the guest being a non-musician.

i can't stop watching the part where you actually play the song especially the part where the bass kicks in in the chorus... it's just genuinely so good and accurate

[@biblioholic7139]

Nailing the chimes interval really got my brain on your side because every time I thought it started straying from what I expected the chimes came in and made me hear what I thought it was supposed to be. But points off for lack of pen click sound. Definitely better than Thunder, behold the power of note taking and knowing the source material.

As someone who recently served jury duty, they don't actually have the stenographer write everything down! For the trial I was on, she had a special phone-like apparatus that she dictated the entire trial into, and the judge and lawyers would repeat things if she missed them. It was super interesting!
