the algorithm is a complete mystery sometimes. i can't imagine why you haven't been picked up by now; semi regular uploads, rad music, visually interesting videos, funny and clever lyrics- you even have a great viewer engagement rate, as far as i can tell i hope you aren't discouraged by the obscurity, because as far as i'm concerned your being this obscure is an absolute anomaly. what a legend
I do this for the thrill of expression, and for the joy of people like yourself connecting with it. Numbers are just numbers, all eventually turns to dust. Music is forever! Have a nice Tuesday.
This is both an incredibly well observed homage to the cultural phenomenon that was MSN messenger and also a brilliantly meta funk odyssey for all/the ages. Much love to you Jazz Emu.
sk8rboi93 here. Unfortunately, groovychick95 tragically died earlier this year. She was run over by a car while grabbing some cheeseburgers for the grandkids. The guy driving said it wasn't his fault, it was the teenage boy from the year 2345 who made him do it, he seemed kind of crazy. But, in his defense, the accident wouldn't have happened if she had just used the zebra crossing instead of crossing on the blind corner part.
Everyone's talking about the ending and the music video but the melody of the "chorus" of this song has been squatting in my brain for weeks now. So smooth and catchy, combined with his clear voice it's like an oil massage for my brain. I love this so goddamn much.
God I miss MSN. Setting status to display what you're listening to, logging off and logging on again to slyly tell someone you're online, chatting all night. Those were the days. This one is epic, Emu.
3:20 is an incredible breakdown that just goes too hard for it's own good. Absolutely amazing music used for a humorous song...that's a love language of mine.
This is one of my fave songs of yours and I think the monologue, sax solo and outro are all beautiful. What a lovely surprise to see there’s now a video! And a bloody good one too! You’ve outdone yourself, Henderson
That was surprisingly beautiful and deep. It brought back memories from people I messeged with for years, but one day we just got on our separate ways. Sometimes, rarely of course, I wonder where they are now. Thanks for the great music. You're a wonderful talent that deserve all the praise you can get.
When I started being "old" enough to develop my own musical taste and also as I started to understand english lyrics more and more as a kid I ended up quite disappointed and annoyed to find out that like 90% songs are about love and sex and such subjects. Ngl I think my past self would have been rejoiced to find out that you exist, making catchy music talking about whatever you want, because why the hecc couldn't music be that way (and my current self too is really happy to have discovered you ofc!)
I couldn't have found this video with under 100k views and this channel with under 100k subscribers? I'm going to do my part to correct that. Subscribed for life
I just happened to have Ableton open while listening to this and accidentally stumbled upon the greatest call and response of all time during that last solo section and nobody was there to hear it. Probably better that way.
As someone who lost a long term online friend when AIM went down all those many years ago, this really hit different. Rest in Cyberspace, Aubrey, where ever you may be in life.
The raw emotion delivered in the line "But I'm still waiting here. Waiting, on the MSN Messenger." really speaks to the 83 years of anguish you suffered through.

Saw this one live at the value select concert, oddly enough this was the one to get stuck in my head, not any of value selects awesome music. I must have listened to it at least ten times this past week, absolute masterpiece!
At some point in the past, we all closed MSN messenger for the last time never to brb. When Jazz Emu goes offline at the end, that really got me. Amazing production buddy. g2g

This whole video is poetry by a true artìste
It's true. Just ask Jeeves.
God 11-year-old Emu is CURSED I wasn't ready
I think he is a creation from hell
This was the first video of his I saw and I genuinely thought that's just what he looked like
Cursed, blursed and any other mashup of those words. I need eye bleach.
The world wasn’t ready
Hoe was it done?

The visual work on this one is incredible
Amazing he filmed this all in his bathroom
“Technology rushes past us like a blink in the eye of a world that’s looking too far forward to see the now”
That’s gotta be my favourite line
lol i love how generous you were to yourself with the old man filter
the fact emu actually went to space for this is mind-blowing. the sheer dedication.
did he tho?
@@oatmilkpeek1291 obviously, you see it in the video, duh 🙄 🙄🙄
I was jamming to the tunes and soaking up the txt speak poetry, was NOT ready for that solo at the end. Incredible.
Reminds me of Risk of Rain 2
@@KRUSH-R CULTURED AF
Think it's an ewi? (Unsure of that spelling) asked at the concert
It’s great how current emu sings in a high pitched voice, and all the very low vocals are strong 11 year old him
It's hard not to look in awe when seeing the earth from outer space, especially while it's being orbited by the MSN-1701-D

The heroes of VALUE SELECT have sent me to a new realm of funk and fun…praise be to JazzEmu!
Yes brother! Praise be to the FUNKIEST POP MEN of the INTERNET!
I always love your music, but Allen deserves an award for the editing. This is amazing.
I'm only just now appreciating the sheer genius of the line "And here I am, 90 years old. Just a hot, old male with an old hotmail."
I'm absolutely blown away by this one jesus christ
This was absolutely amazing!
Yeah boy
At last, MSN's true Messenger has arrived.
If this magnum opus of a theme had been sent back to MSN in the early 2000s, it never would have been discontinued. It's MAGNIFICENT.
Everyone's talking about the ending and the music video but the melody of the "chorus" of this song has been squatting in my brain for weeks now. So smooth and catchy, combined with his clear voice it's like an oil massage for my brain. I love this so goddamn much.
That EWI solo was DURTY. Also, don't think I didn't notice your 3:4 - 21:9 switch. You spoil us with these works of art.
God I miss MSN. Setting status to display what you're listening to, logging off and logging on again to slyly tell someone you're online, chatting all night. Those were the days.
This one is epic, Emu.
Just saw Emu perform this live and it was beautiful. Everything I ever wanted in an MSN Messenger send up.
The last part consistently gives me chills. Phenomenal work my friend.
I wasn't ready for this visual experience.
Man I absolutely ADORE that synth bass that kicks in at the 2min mark. The funk is just too stronk
3:20 is an incredible breakdown that just goes too hard for it's own good. Absolutely amazing music used for a humorous song...that's a love language of mine.
this song takes me on such a journey every time!!!! never gonna get tired of the end
Nostalgic, present, but also future funk opera that tells a story I emotionally connect to. Fuck this is so good.
This is one of my fave songs of yours and I think the monologue, sax solo and outro are all beautiful. What a lovely surprise to see there’s now a video! And a bloody good one too! You’ve outdone yourself, Henderson
Damn, that drop at 3:14 hits me with a brick of nostalgia every time.
Same for me and I don't even know why.
3 rewatches in and im still baffled by how good this is!

Edit, 3:22 is a glorious melody that transcends all!
Great job Mr. Emu :D
I just happened to have Ableton open while listening to this and accidentally stumbled upon the greatest call and response of all time during that last solo section and nobody was there to hear it. Probably better that way.
I'm obsessed with this song. Saw Jazz Emu last night at Soho Theatre and blew my mind.
Holy shit, that last part, love it!
This managed to capture the MSN days in a classic Lonely Island vibe. Very well done. MSN was the good ol´days. I miss the MSN games.
Feb 10 2022. I just discovered Jazz Emu and currently have listened to this 5 times.
Your videos always make my day. I hope you get the attention you deserve!
Hunter Allen killed the visuals & Baby Jazz Emu was hilarious.
RIP MSN
I’m here from value select and I must say this was an excellent investment of my time, thank you sir.
Came for the nostalgia, stayed for the visuals/EWI solo.
You've done it again, JE.
This ending blew my brains out.
That's some impressive video editing

This is like an ode to my youth. Thank you for bringing this into the world.
"Just a hot, old male with an old hotmail" is severely underrated
This made me feel things. Deeply.
This is the first ad I've watched in full in the past few months. What an amazing intro to the channel.
Attention to detail is breathtaking. The emoticons, the XP media player...
Never stop doing what you are doing, and being who you are.
This is actually an absolute banger, and the themes are pretty serious in an odd way. Hope you take off soon.
Somehow it's become my nightly ritual to re-watch this before I go to bed
This music video has so little views, it's criminal. More people need to listen to this ASAP.
Holy crap the production quality on this one. Absolutely remarkable.
This deserves at least a million views.
Yes mate! I love your content. Your a funny man and a heck of an artist. I could watch this all day.
If crogs and geolwes was the gateway drug, then this is my fix towards a higher state of being.
Can't wait to see what's next!
Every vid of yours is a true work of art. All of it is a complete experience. This made my day! Thanks Jazz Emu
I found you on Spotify and I'm never leaving. Your songs are really really good. They trasplant Halcyon memories i didn't even know existed.

fuck. If one good thing came of waking up in the world today, it was stumbling onto your work. You're fucking great. mad props to Hunter Allen also.
The level of excellence behind the production of this video is off the charts! And it's all for a song about MSN messenger 😂😂😂 not even AIM 🤣
Wow, Value Select has really introduced me to a hidden gem of a channel, here! Loving the content!
That ending was genuinely gorgeous.
Best of wishes for all the lost msn messenger friends we all had. 😭💖 I miss you Christopher and Eero.
Holy shit production value??
My gosh. You've come a long way man. Keep up the great work! Love the amount of work put into this one! Worth sharing fo sho
my god, how did you do this, damn... amazing music and amazing job on Hunter's part, I can't wait to see more from your channel!
This would be the perfect MSN Messenger advert.
This song is what love feels like... I reckon.
Sir, you are under arrest for displaying extreme amounts of groove
Man i just stumbled across your stuff. You are a freaking genius!
Honestly, a profound piece of work
how does your production value keep on going up!?
also thank u for capturing this feeling of longing for the past in fast times
this man and his electric flute thingy. i need more of it.
Goosebumps all over and tears in my eyes. I dont know wtf, you broke me. I never even used msn...
Incredible production!
This is easily the creepiest imagery i’ve seen, thank you for sharing :)
Wow. This is undoubtedly a masterpiece of true love and heartbreaking transcending time and space.
At some point in the past, we all closed MSN messenger for the last time never to brb. When Jazz Emu goes offline at the end, that really got me. Amazing production buddy. g2g

I was literally swaying in my chair. Also the space suit stuff was downright beautiful! ...and the offline at the end... Mm. The feels.
This has been living in my head since I saw GameGrumps live last week and then the algorithm found it for me again
You were amazing!
What a production! I demand more earballs and eyeholes on this one.
im so happy i came across your stuff man. Brought my mood up.
