when you first picked out that big bass synth for the chorus i laughed so hard bc it sounded WAY too aggressive, but it actually worked incredibly well so guess who’s laughing now? still taylor swift probably

[@abnerframil]

YESS JKKKKKK i just saw her picking this one and i loved it since i hear for the first time 😂

[@chezzrain]

😭😭😭😭

[@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]

Kurt Hugo Schneider did this!

[@zuzannakielar]

That's genius!

[@tomiwaaina5499]

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.

[@lillia.c]

i’m level 13 and this is amazing

She can use the lines on the DAW for the metronome

[@zoerose3478]

No but these videos are just the perfect thing to eat string cheese to

[@silphv]

I can't believe you're talking about string cheese right now. I have just been eating string cheese for the first time in a decade. I didn't even know it would string until someone pointed it out to me because on previous occasions it was in fact just a stick of cheese and no string action whatsoever. I became jaded to the possibility of string. I'm seeing the world in a new way. then you come along acting like you don't know I have a whole string cheese thing going on rn

[@tomasplatenka1755]

The way that was actually listenable is insane 😭

[@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!

[@_TwoDot]

“We need a subtle kick” and then playing an overdriven kick was genius

[@syd755]

the inconsistent lyrics are sending me

[@JetpackGamer456]

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

[@Sleepybrielle]

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

[@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?

[@plsxanny]

TESSSSS

[@thisisJUSTlikestonewall]

please anything but patd

[@tedros6917]

There is an emo (? Terrible with genres) cover of this song by I Prevail that I thought was fun

[@Alex-tg9jj]

i really like when she screams or gets gravelly those are some of my favorite vocals

[@fki3nxir]

definitely should cover punk/emo/alt rock!! would LOVE to hear FOB cover from Dev

it's like Hamlet with spelling errors but to the extent that you still know it's Hamlet which lowkey makes it more impressive

[@looking4hermez]

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

[@astr0.zomb1ez]

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

[@rinmathews9337]

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

[@LauM]

😂😂😂

[@Mitchell-Zemil]

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.

[@jadeintheshade4038]

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

[@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

[@driftingtorem]

so glad they found this lost footage of Taylor recreating blank space for 1989 TV

[@burgerbob17]

i actually cannot believe how this turned out i love seeing dev in the corner also being shocked at how amazing this was

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.

[@failure3250]

literally how this is so accurate

[@luigicraveiro]

14:15 wait these back vocals are SOOO GOOOD

[@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!

[@vonnie0_0]

Surprisingly accurate lmao

[@the.punkmonk]

YOU ARE A GODDAMN GENIUS and anyone who says otherwise has never tried what you just pulled off here. Stumbled across your channel with this video first and am an INSTANT fan.
