The last OP-1 video was very good and I strongly suspect it got tanked by the algorithm because the title contained a Forbidden Word. This one is also very good
I'm pissed this is the way I found out I missed an OP-1 vid
I wonder if he'll get a bump on that one if a lot of people find out they missed it from this one.
I shared that joint. it was good.
Forbidden word?
@@Eassstt yeah, other people know more about this than I do but the UA-cam algorithm keeps videos out of people’s feeds based on words in the titles. Two I’ve heard about are “Covid” and “gay”. I don’t know about “blood” specifically but wouldn’t be surprised
I love being party to your internal dialogue as you make sweet music. Never stop please.
I came here to say this.
Seriously, how do you do this? You pack together hard social and emotional themes with tech, music, hard work, and out comes a great song, and in between the terror and hard stuff you talk about, there is always some really quirky and funny moments, without dampening the impact of the main theme?
Really, i don´t know a single other person that does this kind of content/music/politicalstatement/actionism/love thing.
Please keep it up, you are so important in doing this. We can only act and hope and educate.
Based Engineer ✊ Well read and softly spoken!
"I will not stand to see that happen again, and I want you to know you don't have to either."
Thank you, Jeremy.
You don't know how much those words mean to me.
Thank you for reminding that a drunk purchase of an OP1 at 1 AM is not in my best interest lol
But seriously, thank you for these and thanks for reminding us of our power. Hell, I know I've needed it lately.
I'm at minute six and this sounds like a Collab between Burial and Massive Attack. I love it.
I think this video finally helped me figure out why, as a weirdo cishet white man, I've always felt more at home among queer communities. It's the fear. I've always known (and had pride) in being weird, but I didn't realize until recently (i'm in my early 40s) that I'm autistic, so that always felt like a part of it, a common weirdness. But this kinda completed the picture. The bullying, ostracization, loneliness, confusion. As a kid I wasn't gay but I also couldn't understand why anyone thought that was relevant and I made no attempt to assert my heteronormativity, and so I was bullied for being gay, or weird, or when not bullied just... excluded. Among queer people I am celebrated for being more than just the meat I was prescribed. Excuse the overly on-the-nose wording here, but the rainbow of self expression that's inside me that's always been bursting out is welcomed and encouraged and how I'm built and who I prefer have no bearing on how and who I'm allowed to be; because we all know the fear of growing up being told we couldn't
Well said. I am in a similar situation - finding out I am autistic in my 40s. Not sure I ever felt at home with anyone if I am honest, until in recent years I have tried to care less what others think of me. Bullying probably forced me into that trap in the first place but now I am free of it.
Totally true, and all the more worth saying because we (age 49 here, diagnosed 2 years ago) are largely being represented in the public eye by autistic men who feel no such kinship.
Damn... I need to make more art and it needs to get more political. Shit that's inconvenient
*internal panic* did I accidentally write my personal life out on a UA-cam comment?? Oh, no that was someone else, woah.
Support, brother. Humans are humans all over.
Blake, my dude, this is legitimately tour-worthy music. I teared up listening to the end result. It's very, very Reznor.
The epicness each time "Red Means Recording" is shown!
my fur DOES look great
Wruff, proof?~
I absolutely love your collaboration with Aran - what a fucking amazing and MEATY track.
This channel SCREAMs and it comes with a solid punch in the face. Dude, you're on another level, keep expressing yourself, keep sticking it to the hate and fear mongers and keep powering through those inevitable difficult days.
If you're getting a reputation of being "too political", then that is excellent. Most other SynthTube channels are getting a reputation of being boring with nothing actually important to say (IMO - I stopped watching most of them some time ago). Music is an expression and SHOULD provoke thought and deep emotional response - mission accomplished ✊❤
I found out about the 1920 song Das Lila Lied today:
""Round us all up, send us away that's what you'd really like to do
But we're too strong, proud, unafraid in fact we almost pity you
You act from fear, why should that be
What is it that you are frightened of
The way that we dress
The way that we meet
The fact that you cannot destroy our love
We're going to win our rights to lavender days and nights"
1920.
Love your content and your message Jeremy 🙏🏻
came for the OP-1.. stayed for the FEAR
Your op-1 videos are some of the best content out there. Like another comment said, probably an algo thing. But your instinct one is what connected me to your channel. I am very grateful you are putting yourself out there
Everything about this goes hard.
Let's ball
Thanks! Chills in a good way. Let's make some CRISPY right wings.
I'm fangirling in my head every time you release one of these. Unable to leave a coherent comment but---thanks for taking us along for the ride.
Glad you returned to this format, I have been a big fan of it
Swiggity swooty noop bloop, you have made greatness as usual.
I've been intimately familiar with systemic oppression in my life and am actively attempting to grow in the face of it and beyond- voices like this keep me going. Thank you Jeremy (and Aran!).
A common thread throughout my life, through my transition, and my disability journey, has been "courage and bravery aren't an absence of fear, they are facets of a person who does things despite the fear they feel"
And that is different for everyone in different scenarios. Sometimes that's "not dying" sometimes thats "running into a burning building". Each act is brave and courageous, the same person may do both in their life time, but their response to the fear may be different each time
I got to see Bl00d when it came out and it hit so close to home I've listened to it so much and now this one too! its so good and I absolutely love it. thank you for all the work and care you put into these op-1 videos.
I hope you have a good day jeremy, your music means a lot to me
Your videos are honestly so so valuable, insanely good jams & content, but also the overall vibe of yours is something quite unique. Please take care, I look forward to your next one !
Your last OP-1 video was really really good.
As an autistic queer who's always been the odd one out, your works really resonate with me ❤
The messaging here is on point and I'm glad you're advocating for it.
Solid track my Good Fox! Thank You for your words as well.
this is my favorite episode. I'm nodding at the words and bouncing my head to the beat.
Not the type of music I tend to listen to but I think this final result is one of my favorite of yours recently. Really fun vibe with the vocals added especially loving the intro chords in the layered vocals
Holy shit! Your track was on my Spotify release radar and I immediately tracked you down here. Thank you for making this video. Thank you for making your music.
These are my favorite RMR videos. Thank you Jeremy!!!
I got here because of the first OP-1 video. Your content is absolutely delightful, and this is probably the main reason I got into the more electronic side of the music scene. Thanks for all your work, and I hope you are well.
Your OP1 work is always SUCH an inspiration.
Jeremy thank you always for the great videos, art, commentary, music, and self expression
i like these videos more and more and i like to see reaction to this system, i like to see that not everybody is just afraid and powerless.
for some reason, your op-1 videos format let me concentrate and "listen" to what you are talking about in your texts. And i hella love your music
You always deliver! Sooo good and inspiring. So creative and in touch. You’re doing exactly what other artists should be doing, and I feel like you’re laying the groundwork out for others to take notice and get busy. Thank you for all that you do and continuing to share your voice and talents with the rest of us, it is truly inspiring and gets me motivated to put my music out there with a voice to back it up, so thank you. 🙌🙏
You are so talented and I love your content. I enjoy so much and I learned both about topics and op-1. Much appreciated
Please never stop making these I learn so much from them and really enjoy them
I think this might be a) my favourite creation discussion -- I was also a scared meat child who became a scared meat person who has regular questions about the fragility of MEAT -- and b) your best track to date. Thank you for both
What a banger ❤️ And thank you for talking about important stuff, it’s getting scarier by the minute out there..
Wow what a piece. Love it from start to finish. Thanks Jeremy.
6:01 I like that little "woohk" sound that comes before the last beat of the bar
Oh, I looked this up on Spotify and found Blood on there too! Two pieces of great news today
I don't know why the last OP-1 video did poorly. I love them. Keep ballin'.
I needed this today, thank you. Also this is absolutely fire!
Genuinely, thank you so much for giving me motivation to fight back against oppression however I can. Fantastic music as always :)
Fuck the algorithm game. Keep being true to yourself. The music is dope
Thank you so much for continuing to do these videos. I know they are not your favorite thing. Just wanted to say I get a lot out of them. I watch them for the words of wisdom almost as much as for the music.
Damn that went so hard. I’m really into this. And yeah… we need to get organized like never before. Really needed this video today, thanks Jeremy and Aran. Y’all really killed that.
l love your op-1 songs thanks for making them
Your music is 🔥 and your videos are inspiring
what an absolute BANGER of a video and song.
Thank you for this. Even the part where you made me sit with the tedium. I needed that part too.
Absolute banger on all levels. I love the message.
Right in time for my work commute, thanks red
Ok, first off, the track is amazing. Second off, thank you for dissuading me from buying an OP-1.
As for why they aren't more scared, it's because they know we're less likely to resort to violence; we just don't believe in it in the way they do. The oppressed are historically nonviolent because they don't want to inflict on others what was inflicted on them. It's easy to use violent rhetoric when you know the other side won't punch back -- but punching back is something we're loathe to do, *and we are right for not wanting to do so*. So, yes, they should be more scared of us in the way we're scared of them -- but how we get to that point, I really don't know.
Extremely good point
Keep being awesome despite your fears! Don’t fear the proverbial meat, embrace it.
I love the tone of this, it's got an almost stranger things meets PS1 style horror game vibe to it for the base track, then the final version adds another level to it , and it's really well done.
these videos get more and more unhinged... and I freaking love it
Great video and fantastic way to say what is on your mind!
That tune absolutely slaps. Great job.
Inspiring as always. I will always stand up and fight back against our oppressors until we finally stop being degraded, abused, and killed solely for existing. We must keep being true to ourselves ✊🏾
Thanks for sharing your art with us ❤
make sure your oppressors are afraid of you. we'll get there in the end, jeremy. all the love for you.
Beautiful music as always.
And then note that how anything that we do in return, as victims, suddenly makes us "intolerant" and fair game (as if we weren't already considered fair game by our oppressors). We didn't cast the first stone. Arm the LBGTQ+. Learn self defence. Organise.
10/10 song. Love the "Do you feel safe up there? In your pretty house on the hill?" bit and "You ain't scared enough." drop! ❤🔥
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
❤❤❤these videos mean a lot to a lot of people
Thank you for this.
Your videos feel like an acid trip inside your mind. I'm hooked.
Very different to your usual stuff, but I really like it. It's hard to overcome the fear, which at times seems to laughable but at the same time, so infinitely oppressive and impossible to overcome.
Have a good day Jeremy, much love!
I love this format, I would love to see you experiment with other devices for this format too
Loved the video and the song
I'm glad this video was in my algorithm today. Seeing your salient takes on fear in general, fear about creating music, and fear directed at gay and queer people all interwoven with an inner monologue of creating elements of a track really connected with me. Even when we manage to not feel fear for our immediate safety, fear still manages to sift down into the rest of our thoughts and feelings and can rob us of the smallest moments of peace and joy. Seeing that common experience play out as you assemble small triumphs into a song that encourages and uplifts really did offer respite so thank you for that. I hope lots of other people can watch this and get that same experience.
These are so powerful 🔥
Thank you Mr. Fop, your fur looks great too!
Smashed the like button early on to tell the f*cking algorithm that this is good sh*t. I had strong Massive Attack/Tricky/Portishead vibes during the process, but the finished song sounds like something Trent Reznor would be proud of, visuals included. Great track Jeremy, and let's make the fear change sides.
An absolute banger!
Commenting for the algorithm! Love ur work
1: I love these videos
2: This track is a BANGER
While we fight each other in various culture wars, we're blind to our real enemies
Thank you for going so hard ✊
yessss op1 vids are the best!
Keep it up. You're doing great.
This is the nicest collection of
blood and drool I’ve ever heard.
You get me my dude. I got you! You’re on fire. I understand. So am I.
"weird and gay and super weird" he just like me frfr
your last OP-1 video was amazing, I’ve been listening to the single on apple music every time i’m having a rough day and it really helps to keep me going. i’m a queer DJ, working on getting into music production, and I probably wouldn’t even have considered either of these things if I hadn’t found your channel all the way back in 2019. keep making awesome things.
this absolutely whips ✊
I love this stuff.
I got introduced to you by your forst op 1 video. This timeline sucks you should be huge and not worry about making it. I know we live on a society and all but your so talented and I just wish that you got the attention and money you deserved.
This one went really hard dude 🤘
Man I love these so much, never ceases to amaze me how good your arranging is.
It's time to buy your merch, my Hero ❤
Brilliant. 👏
Good god that track turned out AMAZING. Can't wait for it to hit Tidal!
Hey man, i just realized that i -missed- the last OP-1 video completely based on the script in this one. I was delighted to see the OP-1 vid for Instinct earlier in Jan. The OP-1 playlist you've got is hidden a bit on your channel so it's not super easy to get to. (i originally found Red Means Recording years ago via UA-cam recommending David Bruce's rendition of Aquamarine and subscribed to patreon as a result). At this point i kinda try to keep track of everything that comes through Patreon, but i don't have a good way to hit up things that would otherwise be can't miss for me.
The sound @3:23 melted my soul.
Dude, don’t sweat the metrics. I often store your videos for a later time, and that could be months. Just keep up the work👍🏼
great video, thanks for sharing :-)
Strong sound, strong message
