DIRTY LOOPS "Next To You" // Audio Engineer, Drummer & Wifey React

[@musikbyjh]

Hey friends!!! First, thank you all so much for helping correct us with the name pronunciations- we were trying too hard to sound Swedish, apparently. Once again, we had an AWESOME time learning this VERY HIGHLY requested song. Thanks, everyone for the terrific suggestion, and to Melli for sponsoring the LOOPIFIED rabbit hole for us to run down!!!

[@SaraJfai]

@@musikbyjh Its impossible to pronounce Swedish words and names when you do not know the language very well. For example the letter I in Swedish is pronounced as the letter E does in English. Å Ä and Ö don't make it much easier either. 😂 When Swedes speak English, it doesn't sound very nice at all. We call it Swenglish.

[@musikbyjh]

@@SaraJfai "Swenglish!", LOL!! So great! Thank you for your grace. We are pretty well traveled, and both speak different languages, but definitely failed at our three gents' names. All good, we are happy to course correct and carry on!! ❤🥷🏻

[@cynthiamiller483]

Oh My Goodness! The sound is so rich!!! It definitely has a gospel sound at times. I actually got goosebumps on this one. Love all the messing around, the harmonies, the high notes sung. Can’t say enough…yes, it’s dirty!!!! Then there’s more! So many genres in this song. Please read the credits. I can’t read it on my phone, especially when I enlarge the text. This I will share with my sister. She will love it too! Loved listening to y’all today. What a song!!! 🎶 Cyd

[@musikbyjh]

Great comment, as always, Cyd!!! Don't these Dirty Loops videos just feel good and make you smile?! We are really enjoying learning about their catalog - so much fun!! And we definitely need to zoom on the credits - that should have happened on this video, sorry about that. The credits are way too long to read all of them, but we'll do better getting the credits more visible. Big hugs and happy Tuesday to you and Mr. Cyd (intentionally leaving his name out of comments)! xo, jillian

Bose Bildoktorn is a reference to an old TV show about cars featuring a car mechanic nicknamed Bosse Bildoktorn (note the extra 's'). Bildoktorn directly translates to the car doctor. So apparently they had an illustrious and technically proficient headphone tech for their Bose gear. 😂

Thank you for this fun fact!!! New news to us ;-)

This is absolutely one of my favourite songs by these guys!! 🤩

Okay, so now I have another group! Rabbit hole will be next. I enjoyed watching the three of you react to this one. Now I need to watch the videos so I can read the ending stuff!

They’re phenomenal. I honestly can’t think of another band with this level of extreme talent and musicianship.

Same - what a REFRESHING surprise. Can't wait for more, friend!

[@birger4788]

Oh, when I saw you did another Dirty Loops I had to get some candy and Pepsi, put my feet up and press play. So enjoyable to watch your reactions! And it’s true that the only song Jonah isn’t doing all vocals on is Rock you. Can’t wait for you to get back in time and react to Hit me from 2014. It’s a real hit (!) song and they were absolutely phenomenal even 10 years ago.

[@musikbyjh]

This comment made our day - thank you!!!! Love that you are enjoying our discovery of Dirty Loops (thanks to Melli!). We definitely will get to "Hit Me", promise!!! Look forward to seeing you back soon. - jillian

‘Hit Me’, another old nugget from their first album ‘Loopified’ 💎💎💎

[@diananunez7]

Again, thank you for your FUN reaction! Any listener would be swept away by your enthusiasm and knowledge! I have listened to Dirty Loops for a decade now so I know how off the charts amazing they are...as musicians, songwriters, performers, video editors...you name it! They are unique in that it does not matter what genre you prefer, you will be blown away by their performance. Three Piscean wizards (yes, all born in the sign of Pisces), who invite us all to the ball!

Great comment, Diana - thank you!!!

[@davidbell864]

Aaron writes the credits.

[@musikbyjh]

That's SO good to know - thank you David!!!! The credits have quickly become something we look forward to at the end of each video. ;-)

[@ingmarkronfeldt6174]

Flight case = obviously true story! Also, I really liked this video. Thanks for a good job! Surprised you did not comment more on the gospel side of the song. Many say “they are taking us to church”. Also, the piano part at the end, people often refer to classical music and some Russian composer. There seems to be a ton once influences and styles in this one. I have no clue, but others seems to have even two clues.

[@fiddlestix3025]

☺️ and yes to what you’re saying, Ingmar. Jonah mentions Russian composer Rachmaninov as one of his big pianistic influences…

[@Hear2helpu754]

Melli did you get a chance to see them live when they were in the US. I saw them in a small venue in Denver. Thank you for spreading the Dirty Loops vibe. They are my favorite band.

[@fiddlestix3025]

Lucky you, Scott… 👍

[@fiddlestix3025]

@mellifluousa haha 🤣🤣🤣

[@JamilaGomez82]

I legit play this song every day. Not even lying. I will never get tired of this perfection. I would've thrown something at Henrik if I was closer to the stage when I saw them live and when they did this song. He forgot he was human.

[@fiddlestix3025]

Haha…. 😉 Henrik’s is legit in another league of ‘human’… And I’m so stoked you got to see them live, Jamila 🔥🤘✌️🤘✌️🔥

[@mattias5157]

"Something...?" You make at least me curious what that would be? But these are nice kids, behave like (good) boyscouts i believe.

[@JamilaGomez82]

@@mattias5157 it's an expression. Kind of like when women throw their underwear on stage for male performers they like. It would not have been that, though. All I had was a cup.

[@tokskallez]

Great reactions again - may i suggest "Lost In You" for the next song? Seldom played underappreciated perhaps due to their tasty catalogue which makes people want the next and next It has some great basswork as per usual and all the bells and whistles - Great song from Dirty Loops - Check it out! Also "Sayonara Love" with Henrik sporting a 7string bass & killing it at usual - also a very cool song you might wanna... Thanks

[@fiddlestix3025]

😂 👍

[@ColePhelps61]

I realllly would love to see a reaction to Cory Wong & Dirty Loops // Ring of Saturn

[@lorcanmcquitty1766]

Love the reaction guys! By the way i recommend you check out some songs by aron and henriks side project called “songs for lovers” (in specific “Coffee break is over”)

[@fiddlestix3025]

Yeah 👍

[@musikbyjh]

Thank you very much, and I promise we have "Coffee Break is Over" coming. Our champ Melli threw in some sponsored "Songs For Lovers" in her requests!!

[@fiddlestix3025]

@@musikbyjh can’t wait! And that series might also be interesting for Matt…. 🤘

[@musikbyjh]

Good call there...thanks for that, we'll have to line Matt up (and let's just be honest, he's SO READY FOR MORE!!! Right, @dreaddrum?!?! ❤️🥷🏻).

[@mattias5157]

Bitten by the kitten and Old Armando had a farm...

[@fiddlestix3025]

Melli is doing the damn thing, thanks a bunch again Melli!! 🙏 This song is fire, especially when you start listening to it without looking at the vid. I play that Phoenix CD when I’m on the road, cranking it up, and honestly, the amount of stuff you hear when there’s no distraction…. 😱 Not only Jonah’s vocals (Michael Wonder ☺️), -ALL of the thousands of them -, Henrik’s slapped subdivisions and runs, this insanely funky groove he lays down here, but also Aron’s fills and pocket… and who knows, he might’ve written a lot of Henrik’s bass lines… Put ‘Bass Magazine, Songified, Interview with Henrik Linder’ into your search engine, and you’ll get some super interesting information on the writing and recording of this song. (Lotta often puts a whole excerpt of it into her comments. I hope she’ll be doing it here as well! ☺️✌️) Yeah, these fools aren’t gigantic yet, and definitely their music, on the whole, appeals more to a niche audience, although their concerts are often packed. In an interview with Jeff Castenon, on his YT channel ‘Stratele Studios’, Jonah said that they don’t care about going mainstream, but rather go even more ‘niche’ if they felt like it. Their music isn’t easily put into one or two boxes and it’s kinda become it’s own loopified genre. As Matt said, highly technical. Musically complex stuff wrapped in a shiny pop package (someone else’s words :) There also is a video where Jonah shows us his process of laying down multiple vocals. It’s for his cover of “Bad”, another mindblowing piece from his solo album. Their process of writing music, to me is totally fascinating. Then their chops…. And you guys haven’t heard a single song from their first album “Loopified” yet! A trove of treasures still waiting for y’all ☺️ Please, also take a look at their series of four instrumental tracks called ‘Songs For Lovers’. Mainly Henrik and Aron blowing your minds, smiling all the while 😱 Then there is their collab with rhythm guitarist Cory Wong, with such numbers as “Thriller” and more 🔥🔥🔥 Thanks again Melli, and thanks you guys for another reaction to my fave band! ☺️🤘✌️👍🙏

[@musikbyjh]

Thanks for the terrific comment, @fiddlestix3025!! Promise, we have "Songs for Lovers" in the lineup thanks to our champ, Melli. And I think most, if not all of the songs you mention...except I'm not smart enough yet on which of those songs are on the first "Loopified" album you mention. SO PUMPED the DL backlog is so big - lots and lots more laughs coming, friend!!!

"Lost in you" is one of the older classic with Dirty Loops

[@ellenstergaardgravesen1011]

Thank you Melli! What a treat to come home from holiday to a Dirty Loops reaction by you guys (besides Jonah on the Pianote channel doing "Jonah Nilsson Hears Harry Styles For The First Time" - check it out)! This isn't my favorite Dirty Loops song either but still an amazing track! They are not big in Europe which I don't understand. None of my "non musician friends" know them (but since I've mentioned them time and time again for the last 10+ years every chance I get I think they're starting to have an idea that they exist...). I actually just convinced an acquaintance to go with me to one of their concerts in November - so one more that's been Loopified I think!"

[@edsonseabra5393]

You got to see jonah nelsson “bad”. He is an amazing musician

[@fiddlestix3025]

Love his ‘Bad’! Haven’t heard it for too long 🔥🔥🔥

[@mattias5157]

Listening to Dirty Loops makes you realize that just having fun isn't a common approach for musicians. They really stand out in that aspect. I guess you need an incredible self confidence for that. Knowing what you are capable of.

[@StrdFrgman]

🤘🕊❤️🤘

[@ingmarkronfeldt6174]

You missed Jonah on bass before Henrik on drums. Easily done!

[@musikbyjh]

Oh no!!! Too much was happening, but I promise...we will rewatch (gladly)!!! ;-)

[@MotelsonMars]

Bless you, Melli!

[@DanSpomer]

I nearly forgot: they did a real LIVE version of Lady Gaga’s “Just Dance.” It is a jawdropper, and Henrik is unbelievable. But it’s a REAL live performance. The other live performance worth noting is “Undo,” which was performed in Sweden for the Eurovision competition. You can not overlook either one of them. They are jaw dropping.

[@IngoGarza]

My favorite of theirs is "Breakdown". Very powerful song.

[@musikbyjh]

Coming soon, friend ❤️🥷

Someone else may have mentioned the fact that all of the voices in this recording were performed by Jonah. Including all the Gospel Choir voices (including all the Soprano parts).

And there is no way in hell he’s singing lead on a Dynamic Mic 😂 purely for the optics!

Kör (pronounced as sure) means drive, but in this context it's more like a playing request, so... "Play Die For You!! PLAAAAAAAY IT!"
