A hyperpop song about dead animals in the pool is definately... something...

[@CrustyMajesty]

And that something is art

[@Infernal_fire]

DO YOU REMEMBER THE TIME WE WENT TO THE POOL?

[@notdigidani]

its hyperpop for a reason

[@baintreachas]

I’m the dead girl in the pool

[@GergC]

um ACKSHUALLY it's garage????

[@faeriestears]

i was scared i thought i almost wasn’t going to get my happy little day today now

My farts are better than Dev’s farts 💨

[@ZedAmadeus]

THAT'S SAVAGE

[@ambersioux]

wait im so dumb can someone explain it for me please 😭

[@ZedAmadeus]

@@ambersioux I guess she's kind of roasting their life goals for being unambitious--like, _that's gonna take you 80 years? I'll have that done by next week_

[@gordonthefrog5784]

Hopping on the "please release this" train. The second part goes wild. Wacky even.

"too slow~☆" itched the inside of my skullbones

[@cameroncampbell3521]

Took me way too long to realise she could hear what she was doing this time

[@samjaneczek9570]

I actually really love songs that sound like a few songs mashed together, like different styles for different parts of the narrative. This was really fun.

[@Keznen]

Bohemian Rhapsody is one of those.

[@bazpugmire635]

This!! It’s quite literally my favorite motif in all music 🔥so def inclined to agree

[@kirk90212]

The first time you said the dead animal/pool/bare hands thing didn’t actually happen I believed you. By the third reminder I started to question it

[@lulinavone]

4:28 charli xcx but in my sleep paralysis

[@AadenMartinez24]

BYE LMFAO

[@halmittens]

😭

[@SketchyTigers]

16:57 I think we need more batshit music like this. especially when it drops into the main verse/chorus section it's so good

[@Infernal_fire]

Absolutely

[@p1ss.official]

literally click by charli xcx

[@oneiromancing]

the SCREAM i scrumpt when the vocals started

[@goldencraftr]

the first new york jets bong line goes hard

[@leightonjack]

that intro made the hair on the back of my neck rise 💀

[@sosked78]

this video has the energy of a preschooler who ate a dead animal and would've gotten away with it if they stopped singing about it

[@bellathelittle6645]

this is like an R&B hyperpop song you NEED to release this Dev

[@halmittens]

FRRR. I LOVE THOSE GENRES

[@jeongyeonbaby]

THE BEAT CHANGES ON THE 8 HOUR SONG WERE SOOOO GOOD DAMN

[@josiegroves172]

that second section of the 8 hour song is completely nasty i love it

[@huhde]

bro now i’m gonna be singing “do you remember the day that we went to the pool??” and everyone’s gonna be so confused

[@Infernal_fire]

TRUE

[@sleepymurasaki4823]

like i cant even lie i would absolutely stream the "8 hour" song

[@digital_blink]

dev the 8 hour song is genuinely such an enjoyable listen, songs that feel like multiple songs stuck together work sometimes- and this one did. PLEASE release

[@jeamsis]

This vid was actually insane. The impressiveness of Dev actually making a couple minutes of music in 8 minutes followed by witnessing a genius brainblast happen in real time was enlightening. Then I waited with bated breath to see where the morning routine bit was going and the reveal had me GASPING wdym you LOST THE FOOTAGE!!!!???? 😱😱 Putting my flashlight up for the 8 hour song though it’s FLAMES 🔥🔥🔦🔦

[@sufixx_17]

okay the middle part of the 8 hour song is sooo fire

[@erenyarar3785]

i feel like the instrumental is really good for a song done in 8 minutes

[@mirrorgrain5476]

20:00 EXACTLY. When your lyrics pour out of you and you listen to them back and they MEAN so much more than what they did in the moment, that’s such a great feeling

[@poppy_7881]

don’t be shy..release it👀

[@francisvasquez7439]

YOU NEED TO EXPLORE THAT LAST BEAT MORE!!! so sensually good

[@jamielegion2516]

PUTTING MY PHONE FLASHLIGHT UP FOR THE 8 HR VERSION DAMNNN 🔦🔦🔦

[@pannenkoekspek]

Video idea: make a sample based song with sounds you collected from a day in your life. morph and stretch them into something you can use.

[@JRSiebz]

She must be a professional mountain climber, being so well seasoned on the Mic Peaks

[@miguelsousaaf]

OMFG THE 8 HOUR VERSION OF THE 8MIN SONG IS INCREDIBLE. OMG DEV YOU'RE SO TALENTED. PLEASE BRING MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS. PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE RELEASEEEEEEEEEEEE BOTH OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@shmatok_k7]

I feel like dead animal thing might represent something bizarre and crazy about ourselves that we usually don’t show to others and when we open up about it, we can be treated as if we would take a dead animal out of the pool with our bare hands Soooo “that day” when song’s character and protagonist went to the pool might represent a day when everything between them changed because protagonist showed her bold and unexpected side to another person Also, song is really good!!

[@mchjsosde]

I love that

[@annikagylling3685]

Thats what i was thinking too !!

[@halmittens]

I love expanding and giving things more meaning

[@Melomelo_______]

17:25 this MIGHT be charli xcx's album BRAT

[@halmittens]

BRAT SUMMER 🏝️🟩🍏

[@ThomasCollins-i9f]

Have you thought about maybe live streaming this? I think that would be awesome and very helpful for people who want to see the whole process

[@kierangrossman1814]

I’d love for you to do this again someday without losing all the footage lol EDIT: okay the finished 8 hr song actually goes absurdly hard

[@urble]

i think the 8 hour song is actually really good, the narrative is definitely there and the meat is on the bones for sure

[@sampeter_h]

16:57 GO OFFFFF, this part is so good, seriously you need to release this!!

[@ToothpasteVixen]

This has the energy of doing an assignment at the last minute

[@conciliator6440]

20:55 I am kind of crazy for that

[@sadtoasties]

This song really devved my lemons.

[@brandongomesfernandes4828]

Ok but the structure of the 8 hour song ties in well with ‘memory’. The 3 sections could signify different periods or points in time that begin with high energy and simmers at the end as the memory grows distant.. the memory of a dead animal in the pool ig

[@cactchris]

this is the one time i'm actually early for a video and i feel unbelievably proud for 0 reason

[@p-__]

My farts are better than Dev’s farts 💨

That pride is unwarranted. You have achieved nothing.

12:00 that is magic!! you made the sample sound so groovy

[@caus34concern]

"it's like three different songs" THAT'S EXACTLY MY KIND OF MUSIC PLEASE RELEASE IT MS LEMONS...!!!!!!!!

[@Keznen]

The type of animal really makes the difference in this scenario. Dead bug? Annoying and a little gross but completely normal to find in a pool. Dead frog? Very gross and less common, but not unheard of to find in a pool. Dead raccoon? Extremely gross, not at all normal to find in a pool, and genuinely disturbing. Tons of questions are raised.

[@darkfae420]

immediately thought raccoon lol

[@RPG5rule]

I was picturing a squirrel

[@Keznen]

@@RPG5rule Any mammal would beget a similarly disturbed response, really.

8 hour song s so fucking fire pls release it

[@m4svn184]

OH MY GOD wait i absolutely love this, you say you saw potention in that specific part at the end and i agree the vocal melidies went insane

[@fozzyspots]

the 8 hours one was SO GOOD. i loved the middle of it with the explosion and epic instrumental. and god, that “what you want to do in a life i want to do in a week” ohhhhh my god. i also think 30 minutes vs 3 hours would be better than 3 minutes - long enough to START to be good, but not long enough to get the full picture.

[@InboundShovel]

"what you wanna do in your life is what I wanna do in a week" Even for rough draft lyrics that line goes dumb hard

[@cyclingbread]

Phenomenal editing on this video. Made me think I was watching a movie.

[@duracellbattery5790]

Try 15 minutes vs 50 minutes? Would be more balanced while still being challenging

[@estebreytenbach809]

drop it right now. the 2 stage song is DOPE. we're all begging for you to release this PLEASE

[@westonkourysbrack]

i would pay you to release this

[@SeanMacadelic]

8 minute song sounds like New York Jets bong water

Repeatedly clarifying that these thigs never happened is killing meeeeee 😂😂😂😂

[@bulbouscorm]

The pivot Dev made when the footage was lost was so fkn funny 😭😭😭

[@maxsaep]

id love for u to drop the second & third part of the 8 hour song as one song bc even though they are different they still go together so well

i love devs sense of humor lmao

[@chrismay9878]

It's kind of hard to forget someone doing something like that while you're just trying to relax at the pool.

[@phoebebedford3059]

really love the video concept and the song HIGHKEY slaps! i like the bohemian rhapsody vibe with all the different ideas

[@jinsoulsscalp]

That middle part of the 8 hour song is absolutely amazing

[@kaidonpeterson2563]

this was such a cool format!! i think 3 min v 3 hours or 4 min v 4 hours would also be cool, but i loved this format and seeing your process for making songs!

[@galleygalactic8808]

Dev losing the footage is a canon event we can not interfere

[@baileygeorge5984]

My favorite thing about Dev's songwriting is the fact that it is stream of consciousness. A lot of songwriters get so bogged down in the deeper emotional meanings being their lyrics that the initial feeling gets lost in translation. I find Dev's music to be completely honest and upfront with the emotional contents (and sometimes lack there of) of the work. Behind all of the quirkiness and humor I find Dev's songs to be extremely relatable and relevant, perhaps more so than any other artist I've encountered in recent memory.

[@HYPNOPOSSUM]

THE SWITCHUP ON THE 8 HOUR ONE IM OBSESSED

[@F0R3V3RFit]

I love when you get excited and get into one of your beats and you do your hand wave thing haha. Adorable😍

ok the remaking songs w/o listening series is very funny, but idk ig im a lil tired of it? im rlly happy to see videos of you making stuff from zero!!

[@mildlymarvelous]

That top from the intro is so cute on Dev, especially combined with that hairstyle!

[@twentywordsorlessYT]

11:15-11:31 brought back memories of the early 2000s UK garage scene. Not something I expected to hear, but not something I'm complaining about either! Good god I'm old.

[@z.m.stewart1996]

[@coIorido]

i actually enjoyed this video format a lot and would like to see more videos like this one dev

[@Elijah-sy8pf]

I've never looked into your music despite being subscribed (shame on me, i know) but this video made me go and listen. I know you lost some footage but I really loved this and I hope to see a 3min vs 3hrs video in the future, even if this video doesn't reach your usual views. I thought this was so interesting and I really would love to hear a sound like the "second" part of the 8 hour song with your sound, I know you said you enjoyed the third part more, but I thought it was kind of beautiful. It may sound stupid but I somehow feel inspired to try making music of my own because of this video.
