don't get me wrong, joji's newer music is still cool, but his earlier work during the chloe burbank and lost instruments era just felt so magical, it elicits certain emotions that I never knew I even had before, whenever I'm feeling down or alone I normally play some of the songs in this playlist and it does wonders. now that I'm older, whenever I listen to these songs they hit me with a lot of nostalgia, taking late night walks and playing joji and waiting for the ballads 1 drop. Its sad to see the route he's going with 88rising considering that he didn't really write any of the songs on smithereens, as well as it being a relatively short album after waiting quite a while for him to drop a new project, but hey, at least his older music will never get old.
Yeah facts bruh, i miss his old nostalgic vibes from Chloe Burbank and In Tongues, his new music just feels really commercialised, he should just go solo tbh
@@Tomwilliam777 first Album George Miller aka. Joji cooked up under that name He had made at least one album before but he never released it and Burbank only ever got released on soundcloud
i used to listen to these songs years back when i was depressed and mentally drained 24/7...now i listen to them with fond memories somehow and a better state of mind. it gets easier with time, keep going.
I'm currently 23 and I remember coming across this version of Joji by accident when I was 16. It took me a couple seconds to realize that he was filthy frank, I was so shocked to even think how a man who made the most out-of-pocket content could make such chill and relaxing music. I often associated this era with some chill and good memories from a simpler time. I don't want to sound like a hater towards his newer stuff, but it seems like I just resonate with older works better than his newer projects. Just looking back, it brings a sense of melancholy for a time that is long gone. Either way, I am happy that joji is making it big.
Same bro I’m 23 now and I remember being 16 listening to this during my summer break in school, so much time has passed feels so nostalgic listening to it in 2023
Shiiiit, I guess ill jump in too. I'm 22, and I was actually introduced to this side of George first by a friend back in 2015 via his sound cloud. I knew of his filthy frank/Pink Guy content but wasn't really a fan of his until late 2016 when he was pretty much at the end of his UA-cam career. needless to say, I got caught up on most all of the content I missed and became a full fledged fan right at the beginning of his official transition to his joji persona, and away from his FF and Pink Guy personas, and the rest is history.
just turned 24 and i still come back to the chloe burbank tapes, my friends and i constantly talk about how he should drop another chloe burbank cuz honestly smithereens left a lot to be desired about his music but at the same time if this is where he is mentally the healthiest, i cant hate on it
Same thing happened to me. I was on my SoundCloud lofi and dubstep phase, and it took me two songs to Google it and find out my favorite youtuber was the same singer! Depressed now that all the yt leaving shit happened, feels like he never gave fans closure but don't think he realized how much we loved him, it's like he disappeared, living his own life without us yt fans existing. He's still my favorite music artist
Ahh good olé mid 2010’s Joji, reminds me of Highschool, the morning rides on the bus to and from school, going out for lunch with the boys, meeting new people in class, teacher lore, falling in love, skateboarding in the hallways, Joji was there for all of it. We need more of that Chloe Burbank style to come back and it’s pretty clear the old boy loves these songs to this day.
i remember biking under light rain in 2017, playing these songs, "and as far as we go, as little as we know" always used to hit so hard. being 21 now, these songs represents some kind of heritage, they are so precious to me, they feel utterly nostalgic. I truly wish joji can end his contract with 88r and slowly claim himself back. I live for the day another chloe burbank-like song is released.
i adore these old tracks. such a tender personal feel to them. i love that lofi style of production, where you dont hide the seams of your creation, you can hear joji hitting the spacebar to end his recordings lol. when i was like 16 his stuff got me onto so many other artists. got me producing too, his stuff is relatively simple, but capturing that romantic/melancholic vibe is the very difficult part. by the end of this year i think ill try to put out some stuff like this, like an ode to chloe burbank i guess.
God when I listen to Chloe Bur Bank and I close my eyes. I can vividly picture myself in my middle school art or theater class, drawing my little heart out. Or feel my body become lighter in times of anxiety, sadness, or overstimulation. I've taken this album with me by hand into adulthood. Feeling like the warmest blanket fresh out of the drier everytime I replay it. So warm even after all these years it can still lull me to sleep when I'm having a rough night. Truely comfort in its purest form
memories of the beginnning of middle school with the chloe burbank album and now im going to start my senior year.. cant believe im still addicted to this album, but still i dont regret it .
Chloe burbank hit so different back when i was 16 with my good old Friend Juan. we used to skip school hang out mahattan just chilling and being like any other teens would do in high school, at that time as well i was working in brooklyn as a waiter i was a struggle for me but my friend always got me back up. some of the songs now stick to me becuase of now nostalgtic it is that can never be repeated. Loved his early works even Ronald McDonald im glad i got to experience what joji had in New York City. Im glad it connected many fans from the FF days
i used to have a morning ritual of playing the same soundcloud playlist chronologically in the shower every morning before school. Rain On Me to Will He to Thom to Plastic Taste to Unsaved Info to You Suck Charlie. That ritual kept me going every day and when I need some peace of mind/feel too stressed out I’ll go back and listen to those songs again. No other songs have been able to elicit the feelings of old Joji to me, I’ve tried to find something but I’m just happy to have it at all
I used to listen to the Chloe Burbank album very often after breaking up with my first girlfriend, it was ugly. Now, i listen to the album as a married man to my beautiful wife and i have 2 beautiful children with her, time moves fast so make the most of it.
When these came out, Joji was almost unknown, on the other hand, Pink Guy and Filthy Frank were at the highest level of notoriety, I remember those times with so much nostalgia
tbh I've always felt the same. I guess it's just the amount of time that has accumulated with the feeling and the recognition of a lifted ignorance that makes it seem different from before.
@@vviimmi So true, back then I did not know things that I know today, but at the same time I lived in ignorance while being "happy" happiness is ignorance in some cases since you were not too concerned about some things from being a teenager to adult life in short lol
Joji has been a huge part of my life ever since pink guy era too it was just magical watching him transform from hilarious videos to making such beautiful music. Im glad i got to witness that ngl
Dude I’m glad you brought this up because man I remember listening to this when someone said you suck charlie sucks and I gave it a listen and dude I still love that song till this day and was perfect because I was also listening to lofi at the time 👏❤️🔥
oh absolute not, even if he leaves 88rising and joins a label that lets him have freedom he wont. but itll sure be better than whatever smithereens was
Im writing this to take a mental break from planning our future right now. I have 3 screens in front of me and just as many stimulants to get me through tonight. Im pushing through to be a better man, a good husband, and a father one day. Life was once truly hopeless, same for my wife when she was younger. We have been what I can only call blessed. We have faced troubles together that seemed impossible, but with love we have made it through. We are going to push together for a good time in our lives together. I know that I have to push 10x as hard as I think the next guy will. I have to ensure a stable life that I didnt have growing up. Discipline, strength, love, humility, integrity . I love you all, and thank you for sharing your time.
I always wanna say Joji's early tracks give me a safe feeling like I'm at a saving point in Silent Hill 2 or something, provided time to think on my own.
i dont mind things like nectar and smithreens but, i just wish he was more involved in it. nectar was still hella solid cause he had plenty he did but damn smithreens he literally was heavily involved in like 2 songs. which is prob why those are the best ones. anytime i say this people just think im mad cause of change. i dont mind the more pop approach hes taking. i just wish it was him doing more of the work in it.
Always think about this, they truly do "Hit Different" Joji's older music has left such a big impact on my life and who I am as a person, the music is outright beautiful and somewhat nostalgic to me. His newer music is great, but nothing can compare at least in my opinion to his Chloe Burbank era, the amount of times I've relistened to this mix of music is so many times I've just lost count. I'm glad others sorta understand how I feel in the sense of how timeless Joji's earlier work is. Much love, thank you for the epic playlist ❤❤❤
I thought I'd heard everything on CB and never heard Rain On Me! Have to go back to that album to see if there's anything else I missed. Thanks for uploading ❤ Fav: You Suck Charlie. Mans knows how to create an atmosphere. (They Don't Understand is runner up bc it gives me old PS1 Castlevania (symphony) vibes lol).
1st found out about joji through filthy frank when i was like, really little. Atleast 8, I'm 15 now and his earlier work just take me feel like im a kid again
Just to note, a complete version of "They Don't Understand" (not just the looped version) was found and its on youtube. Heres the link to the complete version of the song: ua-cam.com/video/ZCOBjgA1WHA/v-deo.html

I got my first chance to see Joji back in September here in Dallas and he performed a couple sound cloud songs, one of my favorite memories of 2023 😭, btw Where are you finding these nice visualizers ???

I'm hoping he's just trying to get out of a contract with them so he can release good music that he wants to release.
i hope he can get out of 88rising and get signed to a less corporate label. one that will let him use his ideas and talent.
Yeah facts bruh, i miss his old nostalgic vibes from Chloe Burbank and In Tongues, his new music just feels really commercialised, he should just go solo tbh
I don't think I've heard music that the word magical fits better than old joji. It feels personal and comforting in a sad sorta way.
real
It feels criminal that chloe burbank never got a full release
FRRR
That’s because it actually is criminal
LOCK HIM UP!
What is Chloe Burbank?
@@Tomwilliam777 first Album George Miller aka. Joji cooked up under that name
He had made at least one album before but he never released it and Burbank only ever got released on soundcloud
the fact this is considered "old" already makes me wanna cry
Yeah like tf you mean old I was there when it was written, I was there when he was pink for fuck's sake
Chloe burbank, in tounges, and ballads 1 were goated imo
Frr I agree
in tongues is literally like, the perfect Joji project. ethereal beautiful songs. and its just so consistent and flows amazingly. Peak Joji
Fr
Yeah Right is still to this day Joji's best song imo
Nectar is still great too-id argue the only one I’m mixed about is Smithereens, but supposedly management was rushing Joji to put it out early
i used to listen to these songs years back when i was depressed and mentally drained 24/7...now i listen to them with fond memories somehow and a better state of mind. it gets easier with time, keep going.
Same thing here. My favorite part now is going back to the videos and seeing my venting comments who no one replied to.
@@AkerCW Is that really your favorite part?
Same
same
hey man, I just wanna say I'm glad you're better! Good job strenger.

nothing better. i used to listen to these songs every day in highschool...
Me rn. I sit here and listen to it and ignore everything and everyone.
Haven't heard you suck charlie in so long, bringing back all the memories. goes so hard

Man. All of these songs are criminally underplayed. The fact that almost nobody knows about World$tar Money or Rain On Me breaks my heart.
worldstar money is literally his 5th most popular song on spotify rn lol
@@dafence_ Huh. I didn't know that. I've just talked to a lot of people who don't know the song.
I'm one of the top listeners on Spotify 😂
@@yatomcyato6459As it should be
He's been playing worldstar live in concert but it sounds a little different with live instrumental
Man I miss these ethereal tracks with soft pianos and cluttered ambience
Pink Season and Chloe Burbank really hit different.

Listening to these songs for the first time is an unforgettable experience, but damn now I just feel nostalgic listening to these since I'm 19
nothing compares to Joji's "Worldstar Money", that just hit me different
listening to this again is a different kind of feeling. I miss joji man sheesh...

on april fools, you should make one of these and fill it with pink guy songs
I can't. My mum watches these 💀
fried noodles hits the hardest

you even love Frank? jokes aside, i love joji

god i used to listen to thom 24/7 in middle school
Fried rice and medicine were always on repeat

Thom is a very special song to me
I used to listen to all of Joji's old songs in a compilation, these are so good and someone nostalgic considering it happened in the last 3 years
love it, shame joji will probably never revisit chloe burbank

actually soul healing
“Old” man you making me feel old now! Gotta call me Old Yeller…
i was singing my heart out with this girl I met at his concert, 10/10 we both knew his old shit and that made it so much better

Went to his concert last night, he sang World$tar Money lesgooooo
Nostalgia hits hard... i love joji old stuff, reminds me of the transition George was doing betwen filthy Frank and joji
i miss soundcloud days
I love this type of joji songs, it's amazing that someone sums this up in the most beautiful way possible, thank you.

enjoyed the music maker and the jester growing up glad to see he's happy and healthy
His newer stuff is unbelievably good too

Late night reading manga hits different with this music
Always think about this, they truly do

definetly, I always liked the old ones better
rain on me is the best, even tho it's so short
Thanks man, this mix brings me peace and calm me down
Found some of these songs when I was 12,turned 18 this year.
My favorite joji era was when he went by his alter ego the pink guy.
these are all my favorite songs nice comp 😝
