"Run Away" by Dirty Loops, Reaction/Analysis by Musician/Producer

[@swan4163]

OMG.. The track hasn't been out for 3 hrs and you already have a reaction to it! lol

[@StrateleStudios]

That’s how I roll baby! 😄😍

[@borissendrei8276]

You dont have any another chance,when you are waiting 2 years for new song... And, it have to be the first reaktion 😅 I understand it

[@swan4163]

@@StrateleStudios What I really love about this song is that it's essentially a chorus with bass solos as the "verses" and the production, especially on the backing vocals--they're warm and punchy at the same time. There's a big "Ah" or maybe it's a styled "I" in the pickup to the chorus refrain (uh of 4?), and it sounds so good--so full. If you ever get a chance to ask Jonah about how the vocals were produced/mixed, I'd love to see that.

[@masonwilliams1367]

One of my absolute favorite niche genres of KZbin videos is seeing people react to hearing a new Dirty Loops song for the first time. Never gets old!

[@toddegoldberg]

Such a weird song. Killer chorus. No verses. Just 2 ridiculously awesome bass solos. Amazing. These guys just keep evolving. Every song is its' own thing. This...like...80s arena rock thing. The double bass...much different to their other material. I love it.

[@StrateleStudios]

Totally agree 👏👏👏

[@shiboomi2249]

100%. The verse is a chorus and the chorus is a bass solo. In the sense that the 'chorus', as you've described it, serves the function of a verse / pre-chorus -- building the tension for what comes after, and not sounding implicitly satisfying in and of itself with how the arrangement is (sparse drums punctuating it etc.). But then somehow it still IS satisfying and IS actually like a chorus, and sounds glorious and powerful and catchy and anthemic. But then instead of the payoff of the build-up being some ever huger and catcher refrain, it's just a monster bass solo -- a completely non-vocal section (although the playing is super lyrical and your ear grabs onto it like it might do with a vocal). And then the key change and the modulation / variations in that section sort of function as a big solo towards the end of a track would. It's all over the shop, but then not at all, and I feel like it totally shouldn't work, but it absolutely does. So aside from their usual insane musicianship obviously in terms of just pure chops, what they've managed to do with the song structure here seems absolutely ridiculous.

It's a grand day today, isn't it, Jeff 😃! A new Dirty Loops right in our face. I was so happy I had to stand up while watching it. Love their video, too. Great hommage to the '80s. Made me a bit giddy. I first watched their channel, and the next one in my recommendations was yours. Nice to see you again. Looking sharp. Now I'll go put this new banger on repeat. Take care, Jeff.

Thanks, Jeff. That was fun! I enjoyed seeing that old miniKorg synth from the '70s. I used to play one. I have tickets to their show in Vancouver on April 9th. Can't wait!

I dig it but I was really hanging to hear some vocal verses. I love this dude's voice it's one of the best in rock music, it's the reason I got into them, I just wanna hear him sing more. But they are doing their own thing and creating their own sound and I can respect that.

[@jaredabvan20]

They really outdid themselves, I was just shocked the entire video, as it became, more and more crazy. Gotta Love DL!

[@pigpag86]

Coming to the "Official Dirty Loops Reaction Video Channel". The bass line IS the verse. How crazy creative the idea is! Synth and drum are incredibly tight. Henrik is scary, not only he's impossible for many to catch up, he is still evolving like an uncontrolled mutant!! I have to say the showmanship from all three has also become a totally new level. Thanks for your reaction and great analysis!

[@pigpag86]

I really have to predict that using bass as the main voice for the verse of a song is some textbook-worthy innovation. One day we will see Dirty Loops' name for this.

[@StrateleStudios]

Hahaha you remembered!

[@mykemech]

I LOVE the dramatic inspiring 1-5-6, 3-4-1 progression and the way this sounds particularly, as it checks every box. With a cannon. I am a lifelong bassist and I LOVE Henrik's talent, but it's going to take a couple listens to like this one. The song BEGGED for a powerful scooped beauty of a full deep bass track that gives you the goosebumps and perma-grin/stank/amazed face instead of the chaotic, "simply because you can" scrambled eggs solo. I'd love to see that done in a fun, light song rather than this otherwise anthem-esque number. It deserves to soar in dignity and ridiculous grace. Using this ethereal track with that (awesome) cheeky lead mess is like doing door dash in a Bugatti.
