[@MasKAfterSunset]

its strangely satisfying when you hear everyone cheering when they do the revealing start of the song

[@deviantartest]

It’s such a relatable feeling though.

[@nate0___]

i smile so much when they get mentioned or they get cheered

[@carly1216]

yes!!

[@lukevaldez4066]

Jack: Does literally anything Ryan: *and so we pitched that up an octave*

[@Woopinah]

haha true

[@yy66utt68]

me sneezes:ACHOO Ryan:WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN

[@Apollo_2763]

Ryan: and then we pitched that same sound down an octave

[@hunterj9314]

Trumpet players😂

[@carly1216]

LMAO🤣

[@vincentsemenowitz1]

Yo. They made one of their best songs because JACK DROPPED HIS KEYS! I love this band so much.

[@bun3577]

Anyone notice how those shapes are resemble how Ryan described his synesthesia?

[@bethanyvaandrager5935]

BigBadBionicBoy I was wondering how long it would take me to find that comment! When I saw it at the show I felt like I knew some insider information or something. Super cool that that’s how they did it!

[@cassi9886]

where did ryan describe his synesthesia? just want to know more!

[@bethanyvaandrager5935]

Cassi Dowd this interview- kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpS3kIOLor59jqc minute 1:11:20 ish

[@guywithaguitar1827]

Yep

[@tikkitaka2156]

Ryan Really just turned his Synesthesia into A GIFT!

[@yomom6719]

imagine dropping your keys and thinking make that higher pitch

[@malo3798]

imagine dropping your keys and thinkingg "do that again so i can record it"

[@n80whatever]

"throw them faster at the ground jack"

[@julezdacoolz5955]

That audience actually sings really well.. Impressive

[@Thebacklogofthoughts]

There had to be some actors in there

[@Kvngsoldier]

Any very large number of people singing the same song starts to blend together and sound like one sound. I once saw one guy turn an entire audience into an acapella during an orchestra

[@DiamondFox_]

**Jack literally just dropping his keys** Ryan: “Do that again.” Jack: “Huh?” Ryan: “do it”

[@supuneetsingh3444]

They are musical geniuses

[@peaks781]

Supuneet Singh YES

[@charikingfun2471]

Supuneet Singh no shit Sherlock they are geniuses in song writer

[@eboatwright_]

TRUE!

[@barbarajudice7004]

True

[@imlafonz8047]

no lol

[@humanbeing5395]

Ryan is just flatlining and AJR is just like “boost that up an octave real quick”

[@robin_queer]

The whole time watching this live I was trying to decypher which song they were making, and oh boy did my eyes light up when I figured it out, favorite song in the album apart from Karma!

[@thenerdbyrd7026]

I see you have taste

[@vincentvandiesel]

Alright, so this is probably my favorite part of the show, if any of you know this, we write, record and produce our music in our living room and when we produce, we like to experiment a lot, produce with a lot of layers, try to find weird sounds you don't normally hear in music. So one day Jack fell down the stairs, and I said Jack, do that again, but this time we're gonna record it. So then I pitched it up nine octaves, gave it enough reverb to last until the end of time, and distorted it. So while Jack was in the hospital, I was messing around with it until it was the most fire shit in existence. After that, in this precise order, we added a little hi-hat, a bassline, and chords. After that, we were almost there. We just needed the most iconic melody to ever exist on this planet, and we would be done. So I was thinking about that when we heard a knock at the door. It was Jack, returning from the hospital. He was in a wheelchair, and he explained to us that he would need to use it for the next 3 months until he healed. But I needed a funny melody, so I grabbed him out of the wheelchair, set him down on the ground, and defenestrated the wheelchair. I recorded the whole thing, and it sounded amazing, so while Jack was writhing in agony, I fucked around with it for the next 3 days without sleep until it would make you cry with joy upon hearing it. Then I put it in the song, and that's how we made "The Cheez-itz song". Thank you, either NYC or Austin, Texas, for appreciating the fact that we write, record and produce our music in our living room and when we produce, we like to experiment a lot, produce with a lot of layers, try to find weird sounds you don't normally hear in music. Bye!

[@xaviervillagran1926]

Lol, underrated song

[@dizzybunnies]

this had me crying 😭😭

[@kitkatdaboss333]

So one day, a serial killer came in and stabbed jack in the stomach. Then i told the killer, do that again but this time we are going to record it. Then we pitched that up an octave,

[@azeemos]

@@xaviervillagran1926 no it’s not over rated,this is a masterpiece

[@stellamayadeamorim6798]

im laughing SO hard thanks

[@sorrybusyreading]

The first time hearing an ajr song, you hear the lyrics and the “ooohhhh” and “ahhhh” sounds. The second time, you really are rocking out to the trumpet solos and the beats The third time you are hearing some of the lesser known elements and hearing it all beautifully made together The time you hear them break it down, you start hearing how they included the sound of keys dropping in one of their songs.

[@randommoron9892]

I know! Then you feel every single detail

[@roundtable9230]

3:05 I started getting really excited. This was the first song I ever heard from them.

[@FanofAJR]

Aw that’s nice 😊

[@roundtable9230]

1:05 do you know what song that is?

[@dontthrowoutmylegospycmemb411]

@@roundtable9230 it's Penny Lane by the Beatles

[@BullyGarfield.]

same

[@rai_squared]

jack: *farts* ryan: hold on, pitch that up an octave.

[@youtubeenjoyer1399]

The fact that they used old-timey sounds in the beat reminds me of watching Tom and Jerry or the Jetsons on boomerang as a kid.. makes this song ab growing up even sadder

[@peaks781]

i was at the concert in washington, as soon as everybody noticed the first beats of the song we started screaming

[@nyaahong]

These 'How we made ...' segments are my favorite part of their show. So cool

[@user-xv4uh1zd6v]

Absolutely insane to see the difference from 5years to this year. My boys are growing up

[@emmabathandbeyond3845]

I love how AJR does a how we made a song breakdown in their concerts

[@basicallyimanerdsowhat]

I absolutely love this song, and I adore how they do live performances, it’s on a whole other level from when they’re not live.

[@DeathByMikeyT123]

I joined the Army right out of high school and I can't describe how closely I can relate to the lyrics and leaving home for the first time. I had all my legos that I couldn't bring with me and I feel like I had this exact conversation with my parents and the emotions tied to it are EXACTLY how I felt.

[@What_are_you_doing.]

I love how jack just vibes to the song while he’s waiting

[@aubanana1339]

A year later and the goosebumps still hit hard

[@jabison05]

3:09 is so addictive to listen to

[@jelfishery]

Jack’s wild in all the best ways

[@insertusernamehere2066]

He should have done the higher octave in the studio version! It sounds so good!

[@verses.with.slaton]

Gosh can’t wait for them to hit the road again! I love when artists give you BTS into their producing. Jon Bellion does that all the time and it makes me love their music even more

[@afg5400]

I don't know why but I thought this is good to see at Christmas today

[@crazydiomond9697]

i First Heard them at a concert called Loveloud back in 2019 and this was the first song they played (or at lest the first I payed attentio to lmao). Fast forward 3 years, They're my Favorite band and I listen to them Daily.

[@raeofanangel]

Dude, by the 2nd verse, when it said "saved up enough to rent an apartment far away from mom and dad," I started crying because I recently moved to college and I miss them so much.

[@ritzfinch9509]

don't throw out my legos is just about my favorite ajr song!!!! heard this live on their oko concert, life-changing dude 🤩

[@rondalmcdondal4192]

ooo that moment tho, especially hearing the trumpet kick in

[@coolerFILMS]

I love this song so much, Its so relatable and hits hard

[@Crim_5009]

Here to relive some memories, I was at this exact show and I can’t believe they did all this for my favorite song! Still my favorite to this day

[@akihirohiroshi]

They are inspiring me to make my own songs. I hope I'll get to meet them someday on the music industry!

[@hey__you]

holy... I had no thoughts about this song but god this instantly made me love it like mad

They did this for weak at a concert I was at live. Weak was the first AJR song I ever heard, it was an amazing performance.

[@jay-virm]

just good proof that music creation can come from anything!

[@ZachFXEdits]

Ryans "1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, Like that!" at 2:01 is so satisfying to me T-T

I think that people that upload these should leave the name out of the title to best replicate the feel of finding out mid concert. Instead putting the title in the description that way if you want to find out that way you can check the description.

Some band should cast an entire school to go home listen to their hit song that they’re making perfect it and debuted it in a school wide music video in the auditorium with the band to the world that singing in union with the masses can be beautiful and inspire people to music who didn’t think they had the talent
