Jutebox the Ghost has perfectly blended the 2010 alternative sound with a Queen style rock sound. This is most evident in Tommy Siegel's guitar playing which is no doubt directly influenced by the great Brian May. The guitar solo is the reason this is getting a thumbs up!!
Why is every song about love? No, that's not the question - the REAL question is why isn't Jukebox the Ghost more popular? I can't think of another band with better songwriting, musical artistry, and just general rock n roll-ness. Keep it coming guys. Been a fan for over a decade, raised my kids on your music.
I think I understand the purpose of this song after watching this video. The lyrics are clear, stating that the reason we hear all these songs of people "drinking too much" or falling in love is because we, ourselves, yearn for love. We attach ourselves to these kinds of songs because the provide what we lack, an idea that someday, maybe we can be in love. Maybe, someday, we can feel the same way. Something we look forward to, something we strive for. But what does that do to us? It turns our life into a party, sure, as seen in this video. Vibrant colors, confetti, streamers, all of these fun party supplies thrown into our life because we believe we lack it. We take these songs in, not realizing that our life is becoming somewhat dependent upon them. We don't want the party to stop, and so more paint is poured, more powder is thrown, more dancing, more, well, anything to stop us from realizing we lack real love or real attachment. Finally, at the end of the chaos, we take a step back. When he stops playing the piano, he is left in a dirty, disgusting, silent room. These songs about love, these songs about "drinking too much," when we stop listening, we find ourselves in the same place. A dirty, disgusting, silent room. Until we hit the skip button on our phone and listen to the next song. And the next. And the next. And the next. That seems to be the message the video and the song is trying to convey. Any thoughts?
Well, not so much nihilism, but the message that we are pumping fake love into ourselves, tricking ourselves that we have what we lack. How the moment it's taken away (3:13), we realize just how much we lacked. But yeah, they certainly snuck that one into this song! Very well disguised, I must say.
David Modrovich i agree with you I know quite a few songs one of the key lines is won't you help my suber up And have you heard that one song by chain smockeres that everhone is listening to it about love and it seems like that's what almost all songs are about
this video is so cute. everyone looks so incredibly happy to be there and they just look like they're trying to have a good time and HONESTLY I LOVE IT GOD BLESS THIS BAND
[Verse 1] Dragged into another heartbreak Like a moth into a flame Are we programmed for broken romance? Everything just sounds the same [Chorus] Why's every song about love or drinking too much? Yeah, maybe that's because everybody's lonely On your radio, there's another song that goes "Babe, I'll never let you go" Everybody's lonely, everybody's lonely [Verse 2] Digging through another playlist Searching for a piece of art A Jackson Pollock, some piece of gossip Why can't we tell them all apart?

Just seen these guys live last night, such a great show ! They’re super relaxed and friendly, even intermingled with the crowd during the first few performances. Awesome experience
This is the first song I've heard since their first album that I genuinely loved! It's great to hear some solid musicianship and ambitious songwriting in the middle of the glut of trap beats and four-chord songs.
They just came to my university yesterday and it was phenomal. I forgot I had listened to them before, even though this was the first and only song I was familiar with by them. Gotta listen to them more.
First UA-cam comment since middle school... All to thank you guys for a great song! This song played on the radio a bunch in February 2019 but I forgot the name and band so... I've been searching for the past two hours for you. And here you are! Keep it up guys!!
This is the most amazing song ❤ Lyrics FULL of truth and wisdom, with a beat that makes you want to move your feet 💃 thank you Jukebox the Ghost for this absolute gem of music
This song is honestly absolutely beautiful, really, I can't tell you how much I love it, it brings emotions and it just makes you feel automatically happy ?? Amazing job you deserve a lot more subscribers 💗💓💟💞💞💓💓💟💟💞💓💓💟💟💟💟💞💟💓💟💟💓💓💟💟💓💓💟💟💓💞💓💓💗💟💟💞💞💓💓
So glad to be seeing so many "you sound like queen" comments!! Yass!! Freddie mercury would be SOOOO proud!! He would kill the shit outta this performance if he were still alive!! Love it!!! ❤
Even with a lover and friends, I feel the loneliest I've felt in all 22 years of my life Also this video is amazing and I bet it was super fun to be a part of lol

“Dragged into another heartbreak”
Like a moth into my CAR.
...specific...
Thanks I needed that laugh🤣
"Why is every song about love or drinking too much?" So true
7 years and still one of my most favorite bands
Just 7 years? "Hold It In" reached #2 in my chart 9 years ago.
Wes wait! 7 years?!?! They been out for seven years. I got alot of catching up to do. I just heard this song on Conan today.
Just hearing it for the first time. Power to the propaganda in marketing
What about now? Still ur favorite?
This is the IDEAL bop for singles on Valentines Day. Like just do your hair, eat chocolate and dance alone to this? Yes.

That seems to be the message the video and the song is trying to convey. Any thoughts?
I agree. And I must say, JTG has really upped their nihilistic-cry-fests-disguised-as-bops game!
Well, not so much nihilism, but the message that we are pumping fake love into ourselves, tricking ourselves that we have what we lack. How the moment it's taken away (3:13), we realize just how much we lacked. But yeah, they certainly snuck that one into this song! Very well disguised, I must say.

David Modrovich
I bet you thought for a long time to figure that out
Damn... *stares off into space*
This is how I test the sound quality and bass on new headphones. So I get to hear a banger for a valid reason. Thanks!
this video is so cute. everyone looks so incredibly happy to be there and they just look like they're trying to have a good time and HONESTLY I LOVE IT GOD BLESS THIS BAND
I love the genuine smiling and how they're like, embracing their loneliness. The look like they're having so much fun!!
I love jukebox the ghost more and more every time they release something, I mean seriously this is a bop
Ever since this song came on my spotify playlist I listen non stop. They sound like Queen am I right????
Alot like queen,
:0
Man I'm getting crazy Queen-Vibes here...
giantprewiew such a scam off of them
It's not a bad thing to take influence from someone else. Everything is a remix, especially in the entertainment industry.
Jake Lashon
I didn't say it was a bad thing, did i?
I love Queen.
Nah not at all! I love Queen as well! It seemed like Lauren was implying it using "scam".
giantprewiew i think they were replying to Lauren S
I am so sad that songs that are good but not nearly this good get millions of views yet Jukebox videos don't seem to get there. Such an amazing band.
1:56 and on till the next chorus gave me a distinct Queen vibe
bohemian vibe for me
Briefly. It reminds me of a Mika/Jason Mraz vibe.
Why isn't this song playing everywhere
This is my favorite song to listen to on Valentine's day:"")
Saw these guys at a concert a couple years ago and been obsessed ever since. They deserve so much more hype!
And they sound JUST as good in concert. Seriously. Three guys and they make such a full sound. Love Jukebox the Ghost!
[Verse 1]
Dragged into another heartbreak
Like a moth into a flame
Are we programmed for broken romance?
Everything just sounds the same
[Chorus]
Why's every song about love or drinking too much?
Yeah, maybe that's because everybody's lonely
On your radio, there's another song that goes
"Babe, I'll never let you go"
Everybody's lonely, everybody's lonely
[Verse 2]
Digging through another playlist
Searching for a piece of art
A Jackson Pollock, some piece of gossip
Why can't we tell them all apart?
[Chorus]
Why's every song about love or drinking too much?
Yeah, maybe that's because everybody's lonely
On your radio, there's another song that goes
"Babe, I'll never let you go"
Everybody's lonely, everybody's lonely
[Post-Chorus]
Everybody's lonely
Everybody's lonely
[Bridge]
Everybody, everybody's lonely
[Chorus]
Why's every song about love or drinking too much?
Yeah, maybe that's because everybody's lonely (Yeah)
On your radio, there's another song that goes
"Babe, I'll never let you go"
Everybody's lonely, everybody's lonely
[Outro]
Oh, everybody's lonely
Everybody's lonely
Woo, everybody lonely, yeah
Everybody's lonely, everybody's lonely
Can we just take a moment to thank them, for the accuracy of these lyrics?
This is amazing, hope this will be in the radio soon, after so many years you deserve it!
sara oerum i heard it on the pop station
Really? Which one?
It’s on alt nation
our wishes have been answered oh my god
I heard it on ALT 98.7 in LA!
Just seen these guys live last night, such a great show ! They’re super relaxed and friendly, even intermingled with the crowd during the first few performances. Awesome experience
The tiny piano and pink instruments are a great look for you guys!! Will we be seeing random color explosions during tour this year?
Sounds like a mix between queen, Muse and half alive in the best way possible. Fucking love this band
HELL YEAH ONE MILLION VIEWS
i will possibly never get over the tiny piano.
Did you ever manage to?
i, too, would like to know if you ever got over the tiny piano
This is the first song I've heard since their first album that I genuinely loved!
It's great to hear some solid musicianship and ambitious songwriting in the middle of the glut of trap beats and four-chord songs.
They just came to my university yesterday and it was phenomal. I forgot I had listened to them before, even though this was the first and only song I was familiar with by them. Gotta listen to them more.
Wow! This song is bloody underrated.... Cannot believe this beautiful song isn't more popular!
I hope this song gets popular! I’ve been listening to it non stop for a while now and I recently heard it in a restaurant bathroom lol
1; I relate on a spiritual level
2; Major Queen vibes, props to you guys for that
3; Bloody love this song, mates
I swear I love this band. They're so underrated
Just stumbled on this band. Pretty cool.
person Parson me 2

WOOO
This is the happiest song I've heard about being lonely. Even my deppression is smiling. I love this 😂😭💕💕💕💕
Bowtie game on point. This has been on my playlist since day one. Love you guys.
I listen to this song everyday and it's so perfect
He has a very Queen-esque voice, it's great!
I initially liked this song because he sounded just like Fredde's faulseto in Killer Queen.
Sounding like Queen out here. WOW!
I can confirm that he’s actually playing the piano
can confirm. i am the piano.
Of course he is...That's Schroeder as an adult yo.haha
It doesn't have enough octaves
I can confirm they're actually dancing. Looks can be deceiving
NOW ITS MY FAVOURITE SONG!! I really cant understand why only 29 thousands are subscribers of this beautiful channel!!!
How have I never heard of these guys before?! youtube rec done me right!
Personally... This song is fantastic. How are you not popular?!
First UA-cam comment since middle school... All to thank you guys for a great song! This song played on the radio a bunch in February 2019 but I forgot the name and band so... I've been searching for the past two hours for you. And here you are! Keep it up guys!!
I hope they get more publicity this year! The song is great!
They came on my local radio station a few days ago :) never heard of them till then, they are wonderful
I love that they just sit/stand there while a bunch of stuff gets randomly thrown at them
This song is a work of art.
This song is EXTREMELY underrated.
This is the most amazing song ❤ Lyrics FULL of truth and wisdom, with a beat that makes you want to move your feet 💃 thank you Jukebox the Ghost for this absolute gem of music
Love all the colors, and the music of course!
Just bought tickets to see them when they come to my home town in September!
How is this not more popular
This is very rapidly becoming my new favorite song.
Very Queenish vibe!
Love it!
Underrated asf
Finally a song about this.
Starting at 2:15 ITS EXACTLY LIKE QUEEN! Great job guys :)

So glad to be seeing so many "you sound like queen" comments!! Yass!! Freddie mercury would be SOOOO proud!! He would kill the shit outta this performance if he were still alive!! Love it!!! ❤
I have watched this over twenty times, first time I've noticed the pink. Love it!
I heard this in the radio it's awsome
Queen meets Fun. I love this song!!!!
They played this 4 or more times a day at my job and hearing it again makes me feel like I'm in retail hell. This is some megan Trainor type music
Check out their albums prior to their 2014 self titled and this one if you dislike pop music. They’ve got some REALLY good tracks.
I have never heard a song that spoke something so true yet so bold and daring. When I heard this, my mind was blown. It makes so much sense
I lulululululoooooove this band!
Such a huge fan of these guys!
Oh God I have needed this song more than ever
The last shot hits hard
The queen vibe omfg...
Omg big people on tiny instruments makes life go round :0
I'm not really sure what I just watched but it was quite entertaining.
It was fun to film
Heard this song on the radio today and absolutely fell in love with it! Like I've listened to it just a couple times and now I can't stop singing it!
listened to this first back in my sophomore year of hs. Got me through a lot. I was like 16 then. Thanks for the good jams
This song is amazing! So glad UA-cam put it in front of me. I’ll be telling everyone I can about this one!!!
Why hasn't this blown up?!?!
This makes me so happy and its also so honest and the choreography for those dancers sort of crack me up. A+ good
If Rhett McLaughlin and Aaron Rodgers had a baby, it would look just like him
So true 😂😂
Damn this is some fax
@@MarcelReuling Go away
damn u right
Shi+ I had to look up Aaron but damn your right 🧐🧐🧐🧐😅😅🤣
2:16 Queenest part of the song.
It does sound like some other song or songs that are catchy or maybe it’s the genre or the lyrics idk it’s just so fun!!
Holy shit! This song has been sitting in my recommendations for weeks; why did I not listen to it before?!
THIS IS SUCH A BOP.
I’m back to listen to this banger
why you all so good my god i love this song
Hello, I just found this band and I AM OBSESSED oh my gosh
That must have been the most fun music video to record. Ever.
FABULOUS!!!! I've loved you all since I saw you when touring with the Mowglis in Milwaukee in fall of 2019. WOOOHOOO!!!
Saw these guys live at Waterfront Wednesday in Louisville, KY and these guys are amazing. My current favorite.
the best song ever!!!!
Good mood, bad mood, or any mood in betwixt- this poppy song gets my grooves feeling HAPPY!! Thx u 4 making it ❤️🖤
Can't wait for the new album!!
this sounds like QUEEN
This is the best
Great song
...this song spoke to me
Even with a lover and friends, I feel the loneliest I've felt in all 22 years of my life
Also this video is amazing and I bet it was super fun to be a part of lol
