Still Supporting The legend 🤘🤘

[@Jkila25]

Thats an artist. Hes All in the creative process and you clearly see his passion and enthusiasm. Good stuff.

[@erikalmao1914]

I agree.

[@PrototypeFTW]

This statement couldn't be any truer. Just seeing his face light up when he knows what will make his song better just gets me every time.

[@77odyssey]

Jkila25 I

[@kyahboii]

This is where "auto-tune" changes the game. IDK if he's really auto tuning or something (idk the right the term). but man, this is dope as hell.

[@liamadvena2921]

Rhon de Guzman no auto tune he legit

[@fka_sophrosyne]

I can kinda see him being a high school music teacher

[@MarianaDavis.913]

Jared Weeks F I N E A S S M U S I C T E A C H E R

[@69gecs45]

CAN HE BE MY MUSIC TEACHER

[@RomainTrojani]

Jared Weeks How is this so accurate

[@alid3479]

He doesn't know theory though other than that mmmm

[@lucid_sound_design]

Nah, too sweet. I don't think he's able to yell at students enough

[@TAKEOVERSTUDIOS]

ive seen this video like 30 times, but for some reason I always come back a re watch it

[@luiscalderon9085]

same this is like my 3rd time today lol

[@erikalmao1914]

Yeah, just watching the song come together, how he lights up as it all comes together, and the meaning and feeling behind all of it. It seriously motivates me and makes me inspired to do something for someone. I'm so happy I found him before he blew up. It's crazy.

[@faded_2]

same

[@stuntman7805]

same

[@devilsadvocate9011]

same, this shit is incredible. I've never seen anyone so serious about their craft.

[@act29productions37]

whoever makes these vids deserves some serius credit too, they do a fantastic job and editing

[@meza917]

Dexter is lit yeah

[@Rahman-ck4pd]

DEX GOT THE FOOTAGE BABYYYY

[@leylanumblas8264]

NOW THATS AN ARTIST. the fact that hes having the time of his life with every step of making his music is just absolutely beautiful! He's the type of genius that only comes every once in a while, i mean, look at his face in the last 30 sec of the video, he was like, "damn, this shits fire"

[@applepieces5933]

"It's going to change lives!" - Fast forward to now, he wasn't wrong

[@unclebreacts4550]

Read this just as he was saying it you should have seen the smile on my face

[@mightyfxacademy]

Even now!

[@henryrivas-torres24]

His beard is majestic

[@axelvincent9261]

The things I would do to have a beard like that

[@michellemellard3432]

I love how the trumpet player knew exactly what Jon meant by "lay back" at 1:49 and immediately played the little tune with that hesitation, that delay. This is fucking fascinating and I am so thankful to have access to the work and creative process of such a gracious human and musical genius.

[@ambientrelaxingandhealingm7552]

Yes, excellent comment!!

[@ogmickeydiamond]

That’s Shareef Clayton, amazing trumpet player in NYC

[@Funathezoo]

the look on his face while he's making the music is incredible he just lights up

[@TheDonBro]

Let's hope them throat cancer sticks don't ruin her beautiful voice...

[@AerophiIe]

exactly what I'm thinking.

[@lilmarjo9961]

??????

[@AerophiIe]

@@lilmarjo9961 the cigarettes

[@xoendi]

That's so mean

[@AerophiIe]

@@xoendi bruh she’s smoking. Smoking causes cancer. If she keeps smoking she has the chance of ruining her beautiful voice.

[@Bdice]

These videos are inspiring to watch

[@DarthVada33]

Agreed

[@vancitymatt]

Totally - music for the soul

[@jallefarr]

He uses Logic Pro, but it doesn't really matter you can use any daw and make music that's just as good. I advice you to start out with fl studio.

[@thebeast9337]

Lakersrule222 ye

[@jeffevans1610]

sometimes i grow out of jons songs and stop listening to them but these videos make me appreciate all the work that's put into this and how he works with all these people and laughs while doing it makes me want to listen to his songs allllll day long jon is so blessed with this talent and i'm grateful that he shares it

[@sanjaycomedy]

You're an artist that's inspiring artists by showing how much dedication yet fun/passion you have.

[@loicbavuidi1647]

I gotta say, The Human Condition was a great album, it was just amazing. And I'm so glad I listened to it before I stumbled upon The Definition because... The Definition litteraly made my soul cry.

[@SaucySoviet]

9:45 > gave me chills, it was incredible. we need more Making of

[@junii8639]

we are .... HYPE

[@neo-taiga4365]

For me it was 6:26 - 6:52. But 9:45 was amazing too. >_

[@SaucySoviet]

that was great too hands down!

[@aussieboi9579]

SaucySoviet It made me wanna cry.... It was amazing!

[@TheReelGame]

SaucySoviet goosebumps everytime!

[@btw1zzy]

Never heard the song before so this was dope watching then listening how it turned out. You sir just gained another fan

[@stanwildin3D]

[@jonbellion6258]

Hi, thanks alot for all the love and support,I really appreciate it.. Do send a mail [e-mail]..❤️

[@JoaquinGonzales900]

CAN WE APPRECIATE HOW AMAZING THE EDITING WAS!!?? Everything just fit so perfectly together, and the ending godamn.

[@trumpatier]

+Gaskarath Reggans He has a great video editor. I hope to some day hire my own video editor too. Although, I'll never have as much talent as Jon Bellion. His musical skills are something I truly admire (and almost envy) everyday.

[@YaBoySpartan]

ABSOFREAKINGLUTELY

[@keairawhitsey4920]

I've watched this video a good 15 times now and EVERY SINGLE TIME 9:43-9:46 comes up and you see and just FEEL that raw emotion he has on his face bc of Audra's power and emotions she putting into that verse it just,,, it gets me emotional every time.

[@flwdyy]

Jon is extremely talented but who else thinks he seems fucking crazy? xD

[@MinnieFN]

I Do,But With Music He's A Genius!

[@michaeluchiha5965]

flwd I think there is a fine line between crazy and really passionate

[@o0oKevinGo0o]

+Michael Uchiha and hes been swerving back and forth during the whole creative process xD

[@RulerOfYourLife]

Crazy passionate.

[@kennyanderson4544]

I think he is just passionate about his career and he shows it when speaking and filming. That's what music is. I am in a music class and this isn't super uncommon for people to be laughing and loud.

[@Its_iQ]

7 years later and we’re still watching these beautiful masterpieces🤍✨

[@Allyxalvarez]

Any body else get chills omygod! So excited to see him live!😍💞🙌🏼

[@1197nicksmith]

BeautyGlamour101 Literally about to comment this. I got the chills so hard towards the end

[@marcusrosa2321]

1197nicksmith me too that gurls singing and the melody swept me off my feat. Im suprised this song is still not a billboard #1

[@jayvynn2391]

+Marcus Rosa feet*

[@jazminew5709]

I do I get chills listening to his music

[@beverly2255]

He reaction to Audra's voice just made me feel the music even more SO.MUCH.TALENT!!!

[@OhhMacker]

I nearly cried at the end man this is so powerful!

[@kidday2628]

you're in auto... i almost cried XD

[@ClearlyyMel]

KiddayFX KP Theory both of you need to grow the fuck up,the guy just made a comment and you decide to bring some CoD shit in here really?

[@Gyumble]

Kaj VFX call of duty !!!!!

[@egiphermutintamanengu2464]

I'm watching this during my study break, seeing him this passionate about he's work keeps me going and helps me stay focused on mine.

[@coralakey]

Are you a Christian? If you are I think it's incredible that you're creating mainstream music that integrates your faith.

[@Rossmc95]

Yes he is!

[@eresparami3008]

Cora LovesGlam I've read a few articles he says he is. I think he's probably a newer one. :)

[@elliottmeyer314]

Cora LovesGlam I wish he is! My only concern is that he swears and some of his videos are rather sexual though..

[@r0ze7h]

Elliott Meyer you'll live.

[@jucoboys9461]

Elliott Meyer yeah swearing is the devil

[@thisbeesah4502]

Oh man. This guy is a legend. I found 1 song of his a few months back and I just can't get enough :')

[@mocfive]

the passion you have, i admire it so much. i feel like i've lost my passion, but videos like this push me.

[@samellis6174]

I love how he goes through this with such passion. He looks so alive when he's within his creative processes.

[@SeanBlackBaby]

jon bellion is a fucking genius thank u. im not gonna lie i shed a few

[@cprster]

Jpsmooth same

[@SLENDZ999]

Who else still re watches all of these old BTS videos while we wait for new music?

[@sromal10]

I'm so behind the game in knowing who Jon Bellion is. My husband and I randomly came across him literally TWO days ago and can't get enough. Watching this video even more so just deepens our love for him and his art. Y'all people like this are RARE. Jon, your soul behind what you do is stunning and I freaking COMMEND you in the reasoning behind the lyrics of this song. Life and material things are so short and ever changing. God is the answer and the reason behind the "luxury" and it makes me stoked to know that you KNOW that. Gah, obsessed. Major props to you, man. Keep on doing this.

[@SparkShark101]

Still listen to him? I still do after years 💯🎶

[@tonediaster]

Still listen to him God damn! Anyone remember when The Human Condition came out? I'm feeling old!! So happy to see this comment hope you're still enjoying his music.

[@DungTran-to4vm]

I literally found out about him today

[@blakeyonker8594]

It's kinda like the Trumpets ARE the vocals on the chorus.

[@DEUCEVSDANNY]

9:30 to the end legit almost made me tear up

[@shmeemin]

I DID tear up, as well as getting goose bumps all up and down my body

[@thegamertrixx5259]

+Emily Hartman i got the goose bumps thing lol

[@stonechaisson5102]

to me it was annoying

[@NatePlayzz]

AMAZING

[@ethanmiddleton5630]

More like 0:00 to 10:21

[@thecrazthatfits3624]

I used to think I was your biggest fan till I watch this recently, I love music, I love your music too. I wanna learn to make some of my own. You just got me fired up and I can't wait. Watching you makes me wanna cry, thank JB

[@lcyred1596]

He deserves to be noticed in the music industry😞He should get more attention, his so into what he does

[@EQ2877]

Cheresa Mae he was on the radio with all time low but this song deserved that spot on the radio it's incredible.

[@miguelblanco1045]

Cheresa Mae I don't think he should because he is great and all but everyone is so critical and going to be saying he sucks

[@tmajormajor6292]

He’s not signed to any record label. He’s independent and does all his recordings himself thats why he’s not known much to music industry

[@SnoozyAnne]

Basic question simple answer : he hasn't sell his soul to the devil yet.. you know music industry..

[@danieljames3372]

Dk Dk He's actually signed to Capital Records

[@alivia9691]

one of my favorite songs of all time

[@KyleHerman]

These videos make me wanna get the fuck home from work and make music

[@kaylananninga6432]

6:45 literally my favorite part of the song, so cool to see him develop it! same with 8:30 I LOVED that closing

[@tcm_tv2811]

Makes sense why temperr doesnt post on his channel

[@cadegio]

Yep...lol

[@yuh5096]

+AllDem Gamers THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING

[@28Sisyrc]

+AllDem Gamers ?

[@citsmae1982]

+Fil( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) [[[[[[ (•B•) _. i no that sucked

[@jragonjewel5745]

those little “ya’s” at 6:07 and 6:09 just made my day

[@atarr18]

This song has changed my life and it has moved me beyond words. The first time i heard I was so moved and it struck a chord deep inside my soul that I can't even begin to describe because it was so serial. God has done amazing things through this song and we will continue to.

[@ImEverex]

God hasn't done shit. This is John's song. Your foolish religion doesn't have anything to do with it.

[@atarr18]

You are foolish to believe anything other than that. John states it in his lyrics.

[@ImEverex]

Alexander Russell Let me ask you a question, do you believe in God?

[@atarr18]

I do, and I apologize for comment earlier. I was ticked off by the comment and went off.

[@akkiim0123]

Everex You don't have to be a douche.

[@Nolia12]

9:25 this entire part gives me goosebumps every single time I play it

[@weaveroznerol1553]

I'm literally in tears rn... EVERY TIME!!!

[@LacyBB]

Every single time. He captured raw passion and emotion.

[@tooflymoss]

The way he explains her part of the song and how she does it so perfectly... Dear gawd

[@amandatatendamutangadura]

straight up crazy. I love it.

[@Nick2856]

His face at 9:45 ; this man truly enjoys what he does.

[@joriparson]

I hate that they smoke bc eventually their voices will pay for it

[@aaronmolo2595]

Jori Parson At the same time, her smoking habits give her that raspy voice that I love. I just hope she doesn't continue doing this in the future to the point where she breaks her voice or her own body

[@jpm8387]

"nO dUuuDe yOu dOn,t unDeRsTaND i,M TRYiNG tO gEt a WoRSE voICe"

[@JAKEAWAKEOFFICIAL]

You are right. Actually, when I smoked I thought singing was hard just because it was. When I gave up....suddenly I had a much bigger range. It was like a gift.

[@olaide1521]

Jori Parson He wasn't smoking she was the only one smoking so why the they.

[@wristonfroze6169]

Laide Zen he’s talking about singers in general

[@autumnwright4848]

Knowing that there's this much work behind music, and even more behind other songs, makes me appreciate it more.

[@noahxkahlil]

those rhythms are dope and to see his process is crazy. He's 's such a creative producer when a lot it these days is loops - which make dope music - but love to artist still get lost in the sauce of the process

[@jjtucker]

6:26 - 6:54 sounds like the entire pentatonix group put into one dude

[@JosephDutra]

It’s like listening to a choir of angels 😭

[@kithqrew9539]

To this they I thank rain for putting me on this amazing artist 7 years later and he still one of my favorites

[@samthegoblin8907]

jon bellion just makes me so unbelievably happy

[@oreoluwa8761]

Yessss

[@nice.very_epik_dude79]

I can’t relate to someone more

[@yosoybrod6555]

Jon, I’ve been listening to this track for the last two weeks on repeat, no lie. I’m so happy I found this bts video. I just wanted to tell you how much your music as impacted me on a musical level but more importantly on a spiritual level. The stuff you write about is real, true, and raw - and I appreciate the sincerity. We need more music and songwriting like yours in the world. One would be lucky to have an ounce of the talent that you have and if we could all learn how to give 110% to what we are passionate about the way you do I think the world would be better for it. Keep doing you man. I wish you the best. Remember not to drown in the luxury.

[@logansandstedt9129]

Oh my God 9:49 made me tear up. Thats amazing

[@keithshowell6688]

Had me at 9:25...yep!

[@Krazzy2188]

This is what the music industry needs. This is what the world needs. People with passion make the world a better place. Keep doing your thing Jon.

[@yungtaxrefrm1080]

1:10 It's basically Um... BA DA DA DA DA DA DUM DUM

[@Aweles]

About once a year I come back to watch this amazing collection of behind the scenes footage of this incredible guy creating the very soundtracks that have touched my soul, for so many years. In case I had forgotten how much of an impact this man has had in my life, I fall back in love, and will exclusively play these soundtracks, until I forget, and find these videos again. The loop is complete. Glad to have you back in my head again, Jon.

[@truckasauruswrecks9141]

I love watching this dude make music. So inspiring.

[@Lifted6.0]

Bro, who’s cutting onions in here? No, but on a serious note. I’ve always liked your music, now I love it. “Don’t let my soul drown in luxury.” How dare you put water in my eyes?

[@drek1953]

He makes creating music look so incredibly fun.

[@avola3909]

6:12 Morning in America 😂

[@TheLenaBrat]

his music makes me feel something no other artist has ever made me feel...

[@whitneyl4164]

2019 got chills...Love this mans process. Life changing for everyone who is lucky enough to hear it. Thank you for that Mr. Bellion. Keep doin what u do! Hugs yo!

[@JayZC96]

I just got onto Jon, because of Logic's music, but this dude is so talented it's unreal. The instrumentation of this song is absolutely incredible. So much respect.

[@grandtheftmonkey77]

WOW! LIKE holy shit. I know a fucking artist when i see one and its fucking jon bellion, perhaps one of the greatest musical geniuses of our time. that blew me the fuck away. THANK YOU FOR THIS

[@brandonhogsten4826]

her voice is so crazy. Geez man. I dig Jon's music but I need to find anything she does too.

[@edemcoffie865]

His versatility is unreal. All that talent and passion in one human being. Jon Bellion, you are the fucking GOAT

[@lamppost707]

Can’t believe this was 8 years ago. Got to see this live and I think I need another era of this. New cook up videos and most importantly new music soon I hope 🙏

[@georgewilletts5265]

He really has got a Beautiful mind

[@mblue750]

Great video, thanks a lot for sharing.

[@Zach-Burke]

been here since these days with "munny right" "2 rocking chairs" and of course luxury etc. im obsessed

[@DVIDMusic]

same bro i go all the way back to his album "translations through speakers"

[@meza917]

all the way to the separation with Jim Morrison sameee

[@chloew5942]

Zach Burke I've found my people

[@DVIDMusic]

ayyyyy if you wanna go really back look at his first ever album called scattered thoughts :) its really good in my opinion

[@Zach-Burke]

Will do! thanks!

[@ecoblitz3655]

Luxury is one of my favorite tracks cuz of the lyrics, instrumental and just how chill it is generally. Amazing!

[@PulseFXofficial]

I love these videos. They're motivational. Informative. But most importantly, at least to me, it shows that it's possible to make great music if you have the passion and drive. Jon's a musician's musician. I think this guy doing what he's doing will lead to more kids chasing music careers for the right reasons and not just the money and fame. It's more than that, it's a passion and a calling. And when you truly put yourself in every song and let it flow naturally, it's possible to make music that's 100% real to you and your audience. Big ups dude! I'll be at the kick off of the Tour in Boston, looking forward to it.

[@markmarcaida8448]

genius!

[@conor7283]

Jon, you remind me of FaZe Temperrr . Keep Up The Great Work!!

[@danpatterson710]

Heyyy

[@conor7283]

hi dan xD

[@illgonzo1]

Funny...i discovered this dude from temperrrs snap story

[@iinfernosparkles3603]

Dude I was just talking about if Faze Temperr and Jon were brothers

[@johnmartin4172]

+Conor7283 They're twins.

[@alec6092]

Who's here in 2019??

[@alec6092]

And again in 2021 I guess

[@krazykid2002k]

Been listening to him for years he just gets better and better I love it bellion fan for life

[@robbielol]

The way he rides the beat at like 4:30 is fucking amazing

[@Darkside_78]

Straight up gonna be bigger than Drake.

[@Wzrdprado]

Just Epic as much as I love Jon and his music, being bigger than drake will not happen.

[@LVTyron]

dude i have a serious question? is it possible to be as big or bigger than drake then?

[@liamcarmody4217]

Just Epic I honestly wish he was bigger than drake

[@eduardodiaz7379]

If you watch the making of Woodstock, all time low and woke the f*ck up he says he doesn't care for being that big either, if it happens it happens but he still likes to live his life and be with his friends without being followed around all the time

[@movedchannels2513]

Sadly no. Our generation has become very interested in hip hop rather than this beautiful masterpiece named Jon Bellion. I hope I die before he does so that I will always be able to hear his music and not see the end of it

[@JamesMaddocks0]

makes a song about not drowning in fame and money --> *Wears 2 gold chains, a gold watch and 4+ gold rings*

[@This_is_Stro]

Jon I can't even. I hope you keep your style and ways of music and rek everyone in the music industry and show them who the real boss is.

[@ozgrappla]

Man...I always come back to this clip....Love how he truly enjoys every moment of making his masterpieces

[@iAmTonyMcFly]

Holy shit, This guy is a pure genius! I just discovered him like 5 minutes ago, from Beautiful now with Zedd. I've downloaded the album right away and I can't wait what to espect from you!

[@nickcolombo7861]

Wow i love his songs 💯

[@gemedits818]

Her vocals give me chills... 💗

[@nigganewstv3668]

FaZe tempper is secretly Jon Bellion's Clone

[@advancedtechno429]

Lol....Agreed

[@kevinandrews8002]

what did he do to his vocals to sound like that at 6:30 like i know is echo and compressor but i wanna learn how to do that on logic can anyone help me?

[@AljonVillanueva-ez4te]

Holy fuck I got chills towards the end

[@Hungrygod]

Jon's in the middle of a music rant an all u here from the musicians is a dumbfounded 'OK'

[@fredo1616]

yo i legit got the chills towards the end of the video, like holy shit Jon bellion is just Incredibly talented hands down

[@hichamjanadil6126]

Low low lololow low low low low Low low lololow low low low low أنا أستمع لك يا صديقي مند القدم تعجبني أغانيك أنا كاتب وملحن وموزع أنت و سكوت سطورش قدوتي 🙏🏻🇲🇦

[@ilbf280]

My favorite part of this whole video is when Audra is singing the outro and Jon is listening beside her and just says "wow". Audra's voice is so powerful and soulful. I wish music had more talent like her. She is the definition of talented and musically gifted. Loved the video !!!

[@-Fallen_Petals-]

Seeing her actually sing the end of the sang gave me so many goosebumps

[@MissAlexaKatherine]

Audra Mae, breaking it downnnn! SICK!
