Lovejoy - A Reimagining of Your City Gave Me Asthma (Fan Album)

[@MindexonProjects]

There is a Google Drive link containing downloads, instrumentals and tabs for all of the songs in the description. There's also a link to the playlist with all of these songs and a few extras as their own videos. This video has lyrics in the captions. Thank you guys so much for all of your feedback and I'm really glad people are enjoying these as much as I am

[@skyedotexe]

This all sounds great - are the instruments live instruments or MIDI? I seem to hear both at different times

[@MindexonProjects]

The guitars are all live, but everything else is MIDI.

[@migsmarquez]

Hi!! Could you make an acoustic version for WU&IO? :D

[@MindexonProjects]

👀

[@vrmasters7694]

THIS IS SO COOL THANK YOU FOR THE TABS

[@CravingCakes.]

Actually incredible, instead of just keeping a standard, plastic lovejoy sound and applying it to all of the YCGMA songs, you managed to keep the actual integrity and essence of the original album and still keeping the feeling of lovejoy into the songs without ruining the original feeling of YCGMA. Great work man.

[@Otto3573]

Just wanted to let you know that even with everything going on with Wilbur right now, this is still absolutely amazing. Truly awesome work 👍

[@ed_cmntonly]

listen to this instead of the original YCGMA, your gonna give your cents and support to this creator instead of godamn Bilbur, win win for everyone 🙏

[@ixota]

this is beyond impressive, not just as a reimagining but as an album in itself. it’s beautifully recorded and mixed. syncing will’s vocals was something i was hoping for and was delighted to get but GOD THAT MUSTVE BEEN HELL TO DO😭 i’m in the stages of recording some of my very first songs and it’s so hard, so to see something as impressive as this, with one of my favourite works of music ever, is such an inspiration and so awe inspiring!

[@MindexonProjects]

The vocals took weeks of trial and error and they still didn't turn out perfectly 😅. I'm glad this was able to inspire you and I hope you do well with your recording!

[@dontcallmebrian5125]

This is fucking incredible, I hope they see this not only because of how cool this is but the possibility of YCGMA being an actual Lovejoy album

[@gois3r]

dude it would be so cool if they made a lovejoy version of this album. it would immediately be my most listened to album ever dude.

[@dr3aditzz]

It’s important to me you know how many times I’ve listened to the instrumental break of Since I Saw Vienna because that shit will haunt me for eons

[@Joltning]

i thought u were overreacting no you right That shit went hard

[@krizcruz3]

fr !! my Since I Saw Vienna is my favorite song in YCGMA due to personal reasons and this version unlocked an entirely new type of depression o-(-(

[@FounderOfEarlSweatshirtFanClub]

if only we all knew how realistic some of these lyrics was, I’m glad I get to experience this tho, first album I ever listened to all the way thru nd it was bc I liked his fucking minecraft videos 😭

[@LamwithCap]

I love 1:46 when the train noises start getting louder right before the instrumental, I use Spotify for music but i’m reconsidering from this lmao- Sobbing over Since I Saw Vienna, well done

[@MCantDraw]

THESE ARE FANMADE??? I RANDOMLY SAW THESE ON A MUSIC SITE AND THOUGHT THEY WERE GENUINE LOVEJOY COVERS....YOU DID SUCH A GREAT JOB OMG

[@TabFPcrea]

YOOOO this sounds so insanely good!!! it feels odd to be listening to these songs like this; it feels like things really are finally getting better. like we're all growing up, moving on, and leaving bad things behind as we open up to a new era of our lives. love it so very much, good job :)

[@manticoreproductions2110]

you put how i feel about this into words so well, the lovejoy instrumentals feel so much happier and while the lyrics are still melancholy, it really does feel like things are getting better :)

[@TabFPcrea]

i'm glad to hear you think that! I spent a solid 20 minutes trying to put my feelings into words lmao. it's difficult

[@eeeeee8829]

DUDE WHEN MAYBE I WAS BORING CAME ON I WAS ACTUALLY SHOCKED, THE WAY IT BUILT UP AND OMG I LOVE YOU

[@evaisgreek]

this is so amazing i still can’t believe it’s been 3 years

[@migiduck123]

[@baconplayz5673]

YCGMA, Maybe I Was Boring, and the scrapped songs such as Goodnight and Screensaver all have such a special place in my heart. And I love how you remastered almost all of them. Jubilee Line is my comfort song, I love it to bits. Saline Solution, in my interpretation is about a guy with a drug addiction, who wants to stop but eventually gives in. Recently (well actually my whole life, although it’s only recently that it’s started to get bad) I’ve been seeing things and hearing slight whispers from out of nowhere, I’m not going to self diagnose myself but it makes me relate to this song so much more, to me it’s about someone giving up and giving in to the voices. Since I Saw Vienna reminds me of one of my best friends whom I met on Discord, they have a very bad family and have DID, on of their alters called me Papa and it turned from a joke to something that felt very personal to me and I hold it dear. I gave that friend my address at a time when they were scared, and I offered them somewhere in case all went wrong. My parents found out, and assumed they were a s*x trafficker and went to every length to get rid of Discord (even going as far as blocking it from the damn router). Since I saw Vienna reminds me of them, and whenever I think of them instead of thinking of anger about my parents, I let the memory burn out like a fire with happiness and satisfaction instead of hate and anger. Losing Face is a song about someone losing all hope, which is something I’ve almost done multiple times and Your Sister Was Right, is about someone’s mean words getting to them, however in my case instead of a sister, it’s a bunch of people such as bullies or my family at some points. La Jolla to me is like The American Dream, it’s like having a dream that can help you feel inspired, for me it was Canada. My friends on Discord all didnt have a great life, and after becoming super close friends (we all know eachother extremely well and I’m devastated I can no longer talk to them) we all joked about one day moving to Canada and leaving our horrible slightly ab*sive lives behind. I’m Sorry Boris is my 2nd favorite song in the EP, not a lot of people like it, but I do and I’m proud of that. If I ever were to s*icide, I’d send my close friends and people I love this song. As it fits well. I don’t relate to all the songs in Maybe I Was Boring as much as YCGMA, but I absolutely love them. Maybe I Was Boring is super good, but For Memories is on the weaker side for me sadly. White Wine in a Wetherspoons is my favorite in the EP and the original It’s All Futile It’s All Pointless is a great song. Screensaver is indeed a good (yet controversial song) that I don’t relate to much. I’d say it’s the song I least relate to. Goodnight however, is my 3rd favorite of all the songs in YCGMA including the scrapped ones, it reminds me of said discord friends from earlier. Whom by the way if you guys ever end up reading this comment, I hope your alright :) Sorry for the long and emotional tangent. I just have to thank you for giving me another excuse to listen to these wonderful songs I hold so dear to my heart! ❤️ I wish you well and success in life Mindexon, you have great talent!

[@MindexonProjects]

It's really interesting to see how these songs get interpreted in many different ways, and how personal you can make them to whatever you're going through. I'm glad you're able to find comfort through music and I am honoured to be even a small part of it. I hope things turn out well for you

[@baconplayz5673]

@@MindexonProjects Just went back to this video after the recent controversy (it sucks lol). I dont know how I never saw this, thank you! :3 I came out as trans to my family and theyr taking it ok which is great so things are definitely looking up for me lol! Cant wait to see the potential awesome music you make!

[@tailsd0lls]

I NEED TO RECORD VOCALS FOR THIS IMMEDIATELY. THIS IS FUCKING BEAUTIFUL

[@TrousersFella]

I really hope that we get a Mammalian Sighing Reflex in a lovejoy style!

[@DrTieYT]

Since I Saw Vienna will always live in my brain and my heart rent free

[@bjunsen]

ive never listened to a fan reimagined album before, i was totally expecting some sad remix with like rain in the bg or something idk lol NOT THIS THIS IS HOLY SHIT BRO BRO EVERYTHING

[@sleepybeab]

only through the first song and this is so fucking cool. really really well done !! super impressive work

[@keiferallison1989]

each of these songs have their own special little quirk to it to make it differ from your city gave me asthma, and still keep a lovejoy vibe, great job

[@mintyglitches]

these instrumentals are so well crafted, you captured the lovejoyification of songs so well its a shame the vocals arent more clear but what you had to work with you did incredibly incorporating them especially with adding the filter at certain points to make it more stylistic, its all done very well and i hope the boys see this at some point bc youve captured their sound really well

[@MindexonProjects]

Thank you so much

[@guy7818]

Haven’t even gotten one minute in it but I already like it and I’ve been waiting for something like this but it already sounds great.

[@generassoes]

Said it multiple times but this might be the best album I've ever heard in my whole entire life

[@YavuzHavuz]

that just means you dont know anything about good music

[@CMT_Crabbles]

@@YavuzHavuz what do you get out of hating on people? Noone needs you to gatekeep music, most musicians hate people that do this.

[@YavuzHavuz]

@@CMT_Crabbles im not hating on anyone, im just stating the very obvious fact that if you think this is the best album you've ever heard, you either haven't heard enough albums or you dont understand good music when you hear it. like this isnt hating on the album either, its a fun little thing and its some nice concept music (which is literally what it is, just concept music that isnt supposed to be actual good music you put on and listen to, rather fun to hear it and imagine a real lovejoy album like this.) but i dont think anyone would agree that this is the best album they've ever heard; even putting it above the original by wilbur. that is just disrespectful to the same musicians you mention, including wilbur.

[@CMT_Crabbles]

@@YavuzHavuz ok, that’s fair. I agree with that actually.

[@EvanKiernanMusic]

I’m laying in bed, eating Nutella with graham crackers with my neon lights on… unreal vibe

[@world_loading1305]

I just got here but also, this is awesome. I love the little quirks that you've added to the original and the video asset to it is so fun!

[@MindexonProjects]

It was very fun to make it as well. I'm glad you're enjoying it!

[@katiep3820]

This is incredible!! I absolutely love this

[@PartiallyCubed]

Since I saw Vienna sounds so epic wow! Very interesting reimagine album, nice work!!!

[@itsrandomglacier2694]

Saline Solution just slaps the instrumentals and the drums there so Good

[@Distel.]

THIS IS AWESOME! I am so happy the algorithm let me find this! keep up the great work :D

[@MindexonProjects]

Thank you

[@honeycrumbs6711]

i would have never guessed Goodnight was going to be on here. nice touch!

[@norra_norra]

The last 2 songs actually slap so hard bruh

[@harshimusic]

BRO THE INSTRUMENTALS ARE SOOOOO GOOOOD!!!!!

[@ZeroVoidd]

holy actual MUFFINS, dude. I just started listening to this fantastic album a couple weeks ago but I love it, and this just makes it sound amazing! great job :>

[@GuimauvePowa]

when i saw this i expected this to be good, i was wrong, very wrong, its fucking amazing tiem to put this on loop :D

[@lillyplaysguitar]

this is absolutely INCREDIBLE! you are extremely skilled and I am so happy I came across this I really hope this blows up because I want people to really listen to it. It sounds authentic and it's just overall so nice to listen to AMAZING JOB!!!

[@cure-is-c00l]

Saline Solution Sounds Awesome... They Need To Release Something Like This...

[@harrisonrjjego]

this is really impressive. have you considered mixing original vocals on these tracks? they won’t sound like wilbur anymore but i think it will give you more room to do some lovejoy-esque vocal production and make this project a really strong covers album

[@MindexonProjects]

My voice doesn't really work with this style of music. I originally tried doing backing vocals for Maybe I Was Boring and Losing Face but there were too many issues with the sound for it to be worth it. I am working on some Lovejoy covers at the moment though!

[@harrisonrjjego]

@@MindexonProjects lovejoy has a really active and supportive fanbase, you’d have no shortage of collaborators!

[@average_sweater_enjoyer]

Okay, this reimagining of saline solution absolutely slaps

[@NoobGamer-on1xy]

This sounded Your City Gave Me Asthma with Lovejoy

i like how you made vienna super epic. Its always been one of my favs

i love what u did with goodnight and imsb they are so good i listen to them normally

I already know this gonna be 🔥🔥🔥

absolutely love this!! wish i listened more in music theory to like comment more in depth but like it sounds really cool!!

[@ItsTheV_Alt]

I know this only has been out for 3 days but this is so, SO criminally underrated You are an artist and a talent You deserve so much acknowledgment for what you have created here I do not know if you make original music as well because I would listen the heck to what you make, you're style and sound has made this album so much more than it already was Thank you.

[@MindexonProjects]

Thank you so much :D. I do hope to release some demos/covers on here sometime soon when I get more confident with my lyrics.

[@g1v3_3m_h3ll_k1d]

YO I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS

[@GeorgieRae631]

Holy fuck this is incredible how did you manage to make it sound so like lovejoy but still like ycgma its actually perfect and i love it so much

[@JulianFulford-vj9wc]

This is too underrated. You did amazing!

[@El_K27]

This is criminally underrated, like this is so good wtf

[@AubreyProbably]

AAAAA THIS IS SO GOODD Even with all the stuffs and such going on right now this is SUCH A JAM

[@notjustme_here]

I've always imagined this album being like this kind of feeling. I love what you've done with it. I've always wanted to do something like this as a side project but never can sit fully down to start it

[@themadshow2091]

Banger! I added Jubilee line to my Spotify playlist, it's so fucking good!

[@lemolii]

I LOVE MAYBE I WAS BORING BEING A SKA SONG IT FITS SO WELL

[@ambermikhail6354]

i love this! it manages to capture the happy feel of lovejoys songs, but at the same time the depressing climax of ycgma, amazing ❤

[@thekingbenjy]

Amazing work, can't wait to see what you do next!

[@hansiii9903]

Holy shit! Nice work man!

[@soot_star]

HOLY CRAP!! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! I absolutely love how you’ve made each of the songs have their own special abbreviations to compare with Lovejoy’s musical style. Honestly if I didn’t read the ‘fan album’ in the title I would’ve thought this was official /srs. Also I just gotta say, Since I Saw Vienna and La Jolla have got to be my favourite couple songs in this because it just gives the midwest emo music vibe, the use of the bass guitar and drums is astonishing.

[@proxyjoey]

i love how people keep waving in the background

[@bananacat1124]

oh my god!!!! this is actually amazing it literally sounds like the style of lovejoy

[@peachycrow9462]

salline solution kind of reminds me of ttng and delta sleep here and honestly I vibing AMAZING WORK ITS SO COOL

[@ducknotchicken]

i’m MADLY late to this MASTERPIECE but your sister was right in this video i NEED THIS. you did a great job, keep going man, :)

[@MindexonProjects]

Thank you 🥰

[@Pige0n8743]

It's really well done, good job!! However, I do have some feedback. The lead guitar on Since I Saw Vienna is kinda out of tune during the intro, so just double check your tuning after putting a capo on (if that is how you recorded it). Some things a bit odd about the highest note in the main lick for "La Jolla", but everything else is good. The lyrics are pretty well ripped from the original tracks (although that doesn't mean there aren't weird moments with them), but overall good job. The mixing is pretty good. The ideas behind the way you changed the original tunes are great. The math rock vibe on "La Jolla" is great. I think "Maybe I was Boring" is just a bit upbeat and silly during the added stops. The mood on Since I Saw Vienna is good. Seriously, good job!

[@MindexonProjects]

Thank you so much! The vocals were definitely the hardest part of this and I'm glad it doesn't sound 𝘵𝘰𝘰 out of place. I think the lead of Since I Saw Vienna sounds off because of the timbre of the guitar rather than the tuning, and there's not a whole lot I can really do about that, but all of the versions I recorded sounded just a little off, and this one the least so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I tried recording La Jolla with a different microphone from the rest of the songs as a test, so that could be why that sounds off as well. And I figured it's not a Lovejoy EP unless one of the instrumentals is a bit silly😁. But seriously, thank you for your feedback! I will take this into account next time I work on a project like this.
