I love that chord progression, I would never have thought of using a G after that A. It feels like it wants to go to an F but the G works so well

[@upsidedownonion]

i thought the extact same lol

[@coilovercat]

I might have to make some kind of remix

probably because it’s the dominant chord which resolves nicely into the tonic (cmaj)

[@Obsidianeyes431]

My friend found the song through a playlist I made and was like "Dantdm makes music?!" We both love the song, I really hope you release more Dan!

[@user-um2hm3np5z]

I adore that Dan released a behind the scenes, really great to see more of his musical talent!

[@greenjacket4277]

As someone who loves music, but has no idea how to make any, I love watching behind the scenes of making music! I think it's best when someone records themselves making the song as they're doing it so that we can see their thought process better of what was going through their mind as they were making it

[@Autimusprime292]

This “just for fun” song helped me out of depression. Thanks Dan. ❤

Plot twist: DanTDM is secretly C418

[@dantartz]

There's just something so heartwarming about this video! 💖 I'm always happy to see people explain things with a burning passion! As an artist, I find the "behind the scenes", the "inner kitchen" (as I call it) content very relatable! Seeing you making the first steps, doing experiments, leaving some versions in the drafts, tweaking things, sending parts of the song to your brother for feedback, having the "AHA!" moments and figuring things out, adding the finishing touches...It just makes the final creation all that more special. The context, the journey, the "how did I get here" is the most interesting thing to me, personally. When you know more about the journey, what it took you to get to the point that you are at now, it makes you view the "finished" piece in a completely different way. In a way where you appreciate it more, you admire it more, you cherish it more... 💖🌟 I'm really proud of you for releasing the song even if it didn't feel "perfect" to you! I know the "It could always be better, more perfect" thing and struggle with it myself, but the truth is, nothing will ever be "perfect"! :) I really hope that when you are in the process of making more songs, Dan, that you don't forget to document it! I'd love to see more videos like this! 🙌 That said, I'm looking forward to hearing and seeing your future tracks and videos! Keep up the good work, Dan, you're doing amazing! 🔥🌟

[@MiniTDM]

I love seeing behind the scenes too. This song is amazing Dan and thank you for everything 💙. You were part of my childhood and millions others we thank you for everything and Space Dog is FIRE 🔥. Keep up the amazing work TeamTDM Forever.

[@finixmoon127]

I love it when Dan goes full nerd mode and explains stuff like a creative process in detail, it’s so interesting and weirdly relaxing. The vid where he composes Mirror Sailboat is still one of my favourites

[@jayplayzlol8701]

It reminded me of riddle school for some reason and it made me go rewatch the series, nostalgia is just a word that's often thrown out there but I have feelings I don't understand bring back to my past. Love all and ever Dan ❤❤

[@hanahahmad]

Mirror mi- mi- mirror ⛵🪞

[@TheShadyHood]

This song is actually very Beautiful and very Calming, I usually listen to it while I play video games or do homework!

[@GoblnHollow]

This is a great song. I love Lofi. I recently found medieval lofi, I’m sure it’s been around for a long time, but I can’t stop listening to it! lol Excellent tune, Dan! Thank you for sharing the behind the scenes goodies!! 🙌🏻😁 I love this stuff.

[@michaelmanning3100]

I know nothing about music and this inspired me in a way. I love this song I’ve been listening to it while studying and it helps! Can’t wait to hear more songs from you Dan.

[@theboyfazail]

As making music, you sometimes get ideas, scrap ideas, make different riffs, patterns etc. Also, if you constantly working on your project/music, you will feel unease, hearing it again and again, it makes you feel it’s terrible or overwhelmed. But if you feel like that, just take a break, and do something else, or go to bed, after that it refresh you mind. Overall making music is a very relaxing art. But I hope you had fun making this. Hopefully you can continue making more. 💯

[@DespicableGru469]

Really liked Spacedog and it was quite cool to see how it was made! Glad to hear more tunes by you are coming soon! Keep up the amazing work Dan!

[@micahmoyer]

love your work dan! keep doing this stuff its really cool to learn!

[@namkrow]

I know I’m a bit late to the party, but I’m glad you got new music! The chord progression you have is a great nostalgia progression. Using the Nashville number system, it’s a 1, Major 3, 6 5. The reason I said Major 3 instead of just 3 is because it’s a chord that is called “non-diatonic” (diatonic means belonging to the scale). The G# doesn’t belong in the key of C. More specifically than non-diatonic, it’s what’s called a “Secondary dominant chord.” It’s very common in lofi music. It’s also used in pop music. Vampire by Olivia Rodrigo and The Maybe Man by AJR are 2 good examples.

[@Zoova]

That's super informative.

[@LapisMan]

I listened to spacedog on repeate for hours. It is amazing

[@brendenwright7957]

I really wish I knew how to make music like this... Spacedog is amazing. And prior to it, there is something about the music you see in retro games, or soundtracks like them in newer games that you enjoy, the best example I can think of is the "Town Night" music from Terraria, stellar track that one. ...all of that aside, Spacedog was phenomenal, and I'm looking forward to what ever music comes next! ( you did say more would be on the way...! )

[@yourboyjboy1]

This is great not only is dan making a song just for fun but also he is also sharing it with us and showing us how he does it. Thanks dan for all you do.

[@jaketheshibainu]

W Dan. You’re an absolute legend for knowing how to produce music and run a KZbin channel that made our childhoods 10x better AND raise 2 kids. Keep up the good work.

[@haspin105]

0:01 I'm with you on that one, music hits better when you see the whole process of the song being made prior to listening to the final product. Abit like waiting for food to be made, you end up more hungry and appreciative when you watch the whole process of the meal being made before eating the meal.

[@novastyleaces]

funnily enough. You giving a review has actually helped me out in learning how to make better music thanks man

[@thedraftingax5963]

It was fire! You should make more music, Dan!

[@Aphrofluff]

(Please do more videos like this!) This was to cool to watch! I have been learning FL studios and how to make 8-bit music for the past 2 months and I have learn a LOT I have learned some basic music theory and how to structure your music I have also a LOT of videos on what the best plugins you can use for 8-bit music and a whole lot more! so this was really cool to see your process and how you made your music its so surreal to see you without Krush and reference Toby Fox! If I could recommend some plugins for you to try I would recommend 1. SNES Verb 2. Vinyl Guitar 2 -this one is really good for Lo-Fi! 3. Super Audio Cart 4. Thump One 5. Keep Bass 6. GennyFL 7. Magical 8-bit plugin Hopeful you like and use some of these! Thank you for making this please do more!
