[@andrewpappas9311]

I’m genuinely impressed with how badass these sounded, loved them

[@treyxaviermusic]

I was also pretty surprised. When I start something like this, I am always dumb enough to believe it will work, but sometimes it REALLY works haha

[@jonkerrmusic]

@@treyxaviermusic It really, REALLY fuckin' worked.

[@carljohnson8364]

Impressive 😮nuff said

[@Bleak5170]

Way too talented dude. Glad you're still doing videos like this.

[@RoomieOfficial]

Sick!!

[@reverendprophet]

This kind of effort deserves more views. Good stuff! Especially enjoyed the orchestral stuff!

[@LintBisquick]

That orchestration for Lose Control was quite masterful IMO. Periphery should be calling you up if their other guys not too busy. Also wanted to add that song gives me CeeLo Green vibes.

[@Sinisterbvnny]

Also, the Jacob Collier choir plugin is truly great

[@nedim_guitar]

Trey does it again! He shows how easy it is to write songs and especially arrange songs. This could almost make me feel bad about myself, because it looks so easy. But Trey puts a lot of work (and time) into his songwriting and arranging, and has been doing that for years. Does it look easy? That's because the man has put in more work that we've had lunches! Or whatever metaphor works.

[@sartajhanspal5604]

Dude these were top tier, you gotta make this a series. Top pop songs from certain eras getting the symphonic metal treatment, or whichever way you select them but you should consider continuing this series

[@bazzatron9482]

I would unironically listen to these tracks, they take some great music and just really cranks the intensity. Any plans to release full tracks? I'd absolutely throw down dollars for access to an EP or (if I could dare to dream) a full album of Pop stuff thats been given this treatment. 🎉❤

[@everthealtruist]

Vocode those choirs with the vocal part as the voice and the choir plugins as the carrier for easy harmonies.

[@yungvirticus]

Hey, you made your deadline! Congratulations!

[@treyxaviermusic]

more or less hahaha

[@Rightchickenwing]

1:39 Oh you gave that alien like button keyboard still. Nice! 😊

[@Rightchickenwing]

7:57 Love the crazy cowboy drums!! 🤠🤠

[@CommanderReplay]

Great work. Finland for the win.

[@treyxaviermusic]

had to get some Sonata stylings in there

[@ohcaptain13]

Need more of this lol

[@treyxaviermusic]

My new course Making Symphonic Metal with FREE VSTs drops soon, sign up to get notified: geargods.activehosted.com/f/19

[@5urg3x]

It sounds like that band defiler from the sopranos where it goes DUN DUN DUN “meow”

[@TheRealJoeNathan]

Those free plugins sound better than the ones I paid a lot of money for.

[@mattjc]

So whens that new Dimmu Popgir album coming out. I miss that band.

[@Rasmusleophoenix]

This was awesome! More of this please🤘

[@PCX425]

More!!!

[@pariahpokemonwesbragg2904]

Trey, you're a musical wizard!!!

[@SamBrockmann]

"I wish it was also epic symphonic metal. Is that too much to ask?" No, no, it's not. In fact, if more people had this mindset, we would have a more interesting musical landscape overall.

[@millennialanimal]

Cool stem splitter! Maybe I can use it to get those stems you were gonna send me 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤

[@jamesflorence6206]

I want to know when the new In Virtue drops 👀 Also, this video rules, more pls

[@NGBit]

Someone send this to Teddy, he's a metalhead too. He was in a metal band before the whole Teddy Swims thing.

[@amber5651]

HOLY FUCK THATS GOOD

[@jeremylarue4503]

Dude, that was sooo good

[@danielj_music]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video!

[@andrewjacksonmusic]

Great video. You looked like you were having the time of your life.

[@WillFlyTheLightingGuy]

I was on tour with Teddy last year as lighting tech. Where did you see him? BTW, he’s got a mean metal low growl.

[@treyxaviermusic]

That’s super sick! I saw him at the Wiltern in LA

[@WillFlyTheLightingGuy]

@@treyxaviermusic Awesome! I was there, undoubtedly sitting in the dark up stage right.

[@lisamann]

JUST the orchestration on the Jacob Collier track is like something off Forces of the Northern Night 🤘

[@Frank_Kreepy]

Looking fwd to that one 😁

[@farahs8341]

Damn cool, we need this as a series with different songs! Miley Cyrus "Flowers" would probably be a banger too

[@dungeonboy3270]

killed it bro

[@kkmmtt]

Nice!

[@MikeMeier-oz5fd]

FK, both versions sounded just so much better!

[@Sinisterbvnny]

"Please Slay That Dragon, I need all its' Gold Don't Wait It's Fire will melt all your bones"

[@treyxaviermusic]

the weird al of symphonic metal

[@MidnightXII]

These were awesome, and this just goes to further show that Teddy Swims can sing anything.

[@treyxaviermusic]

He's amazing, I'd kill to get him on a song of mine

[@fabipelomundo]

This is amazing! 🔥🔥🔥

[@treyxaviermusic]

[@electistudio]

Damn bro.

[@Psychlist1972]

That was excellent

[@Armaries-c9n]

Yes

[@Henysipper]

@6:24 reminds me of the Bernstein Bears. Idk who's old enough to get that reference.

[@treyxaviermusic]

I'm old enough but I don't know the reference, did the theme song have dulcimer or something?

[@Kandyland]

AAAAAAA SICK!!!

I'm kinda shocked that Chappell Roan isn't on here

[@treyxaviermusic]

I literally only heard of her like 3 days ago, I am not in the loop hahaha

[@CreativeMindsAudio]

@@treyxaviermusic she’s amazing! I actually helped do sound for her at an LGBTQ festival event in 2021 (there was a tiktok that went viral). Tons of talent and a hard worker ❤️.

[@RazorRevenge]

Bring back more Papa 🤘🏻💀🤘🏻

[@TheStrykerProject]

Trey, did you take piano lessons? Every time I try to add key runs, I stumble all over them and end up 'writing' the notes in one by one. Uhg.

[@treyxaviermusic]

I took loads of piano lessons and I’m still terrible, I tend to play things a little bit at a time and quantize them as well as alt-dragging/clicking stuff in

[@TheStrykerProject]

@@treyxaviermusic No, no..I'm terrible. 😁 Quantize is definitely helpful with things like this, though. There always seems to be a small lag with my midi keys/pads. 👍🏻

[@crankydragon]

To be fair, if can't get John William's there always Danny Elfman.

[@treyxaviermusic]

Elfman is actually my favorite

[@TheKAktUs39]

Dang! This is impressive! Please do this with some Taylor Swift. I'd love to hear August, or All Too Well in a Symphonic Metal style

[@davidwijing6623]

Dimmu Borgir ❤

[@TylerShepMusic]

What suck is that a lot of pop has great melodies but the music just sucks! This is cool 🔥🔥🔥

[@user-tu7ww1tm7j]

First song I like, but in the second song orchestration sounds to busy and out of context...To much of eveything...Deliciously made NOTE SALAD Trey :D

Very nice! Me like

Vocals ruin it. Should have been screams.

[@treyxaviermusic]

you are high, both these dudes have s tier voices

[@AvarTyrog]

I never even drunk alcohol ;) I'd say the orchestral parts are very good and perhaps the vocals are for pop as well but not for metal. I generally don't like cleans and pop cleans are probably one of the worst ones for me. But thats just my perference. I just thought it sounded so much better without them.
