Did he do this all (mostly) by himself? If so that is like.... wild. It's SO clean. It absolutely bumps in the car too, and I dont even have a system. The bass hits are so powerful but theyre like, melodic too. He killed it.
"You -gotta- want to do it and -so- you -may as well- will enjoy it" - as a professional music composer in a depressive writer's block for the past 4 years, I really needed that man. A lot of people have no idea how excruciatingly hard it is to finish an album you don't want to, when you're not in the right head space. Bless you dude, thank you
as well as how writer's block can make a project so difficult to complete even when you enjoy working on it so much, and it's all you've been thinking about
I’ve been making a lot of changes in my life and the way he crossed things out and replaced them with a more positive outlook, really reminds me of what I’ve been doing recently. Really made me tear up…
In the time it took for this album to come out I've managed to move across the country to be with my girlfriend of nearly 4 years. I've come from barely being able to speak to people I didn't know personally to finally become a (somewhat) functional member of society. I swear in the span of 1 year I've aged atleast 10, and your content, whether it be music or the usual uploads has been a major part in getting me through it all. I'm so insanely proud of this entire project, I can hear the love and time in every single note and in every line. You did it man, it was well worth the wait. I doubt you'll see this, but hey, thanks for everything you've put out into the world.
It’s better to delay then release in a state you’re not happy with. This album was worth its weight in gold, it’s such a personal and powerful album. So proud of you Jakey
The entire album legitimately gave me goosebumps. The production is so fucking silky. Every song is so fucking catchy and I can't get any of them out of my head. I'd have happily waited another two years for this to come out had I known it would be such an emaculate project. Please never stop making music.
You can feel your whole damn heart in this album. The sounds, style, visuals, and quality all come together to create such a fresh deep breath of care, passion, and vulnerability, just fucking beautiful. And of course, so much love to Fritz for creating these incredible videos and photography that give the perfect polish and immerse us into the world of Jakey with so much care and beauty.
it’s crazy how much you have grown over the years. randomly clicking on your video on Scholastic Book Fairs 4 years ago may have been one of the best decisions of my life. no matter what is going on in my life your content never fails to make me feel better. thank you so so much for making incredible music and videos even through all of life’s struggles. i’m very excited for this new chapter in your music career and i’ll support you every step of the way
ROMCOM was my most anticipated album of the year and holy crap did it deliver. The amount of creativity and passion that bleeds from everything Jakey creates is incredibly inspiring. definitely keeping it on loop for the foreseeable future ❤
Damn dude, this record is raw. Instrumentals are lush, atmospheric and lay the ground work for some really vulnerable lyrics. Uplifting, gut wrenching, gorgeous. Thank you, brother
I waited 5 years for this so my expectations were already extremely high. You not only met them, but exceeded them. One of the best album’s I’ve heard this year for sure. Love you jakey ❤
@@Techdeckshawty I refuse to believe you’ve listened to IDMTHY and can say that honestly. I feel like even Jakey himself would admit that that album is a borderline masterpiece.
@@PopeyeTheVRMan oh it very much isn’t like Jakey. His previous album is MUCH more like Jakey’s music, it was more rap, but this new album is a heavy concept album about death and it’s more of a folktronica album with a few rap moments. It’s definitely not a casual listen. It is heavy, heavy shit that will tear your heart out. But it’s beautiful. Watching it with the album movie is an unbelievable experience. And I’m not trying to trash on Jakey at all by mentioning IDMTHY, I think Jakey bodied this shit and made easily one of the best projects this year. I just believe IDMTHY is truly one of the most underrated, most beautiful albums of the past decade.
The beautiful symmetry of despair and hope in your music is what makes it amazing, you tap into hopeless despair and joyful excitement like no other musician.
Keep on going bud, I am in the same boat. But not only am I a man now, but I am also a Mexican man. So I'm not allowed to be depressed. But I am. But I can't be. But I am. But I can't be. But I am.
I feel this. When the album was first announced I was going through one of the roughest periods of my life, and I held out that I would keep going if only to hear this album when it was done. I'm so proud of him for accomplishing this and it makes me feel like if he can keep moving despite everything, then I can too, and I think you can too. Keep fighting that good fight; you're not alone.
The Shadow of the Colossus samples in this and totally freak me out are sick. Listened to this album on my way home from work and I'm hooked by the opening track so I have to listen to the album over and over again! ❤️
The complete album is fantastic. The way it uses elements from earlier songs to meld a full-package, with very pleasing harmonies and catchy melodies, and awe-inspiring width, all of it is immaculate. This was worth the wait entirely. Thanks, Jakey.
It's heartfelt listening to all of romcom and seeing jakey flourish like this. We all love you and the progress you've made in both your work and all you've been able to power through, jakester. As an artist that's struggled with insane burnout myself, and even as just some random fan, I feel genuine pride in watching you shine this hard. Dog bless, much love ❤
This project and this song in particular has gotten me through the last few months. A few weeks after it was released, my grandfather passed. He was like a second dad to me, my best mate. When he died I was just angry, I didn't no how to respond. It didn't feel real. The first thing I did after I found out he was no longer with us was listen to this just staring at the sky. It's gotten me through some real dark moments recently. I'm learning to not let his passing haunt my every moment and it's project like Romcom that have helped provide distraction and comfort from the pain of losing a huge part of my life. Thank you so much Jakey for this. You're a saint, you're a soul.
God damn... Jakey I HATE that you don't post as often but it's so obvious your music is your voice right now and I'm just so happy that you are making it happen. From a random fan of several years, Congrats on the new album and much love
ngl the beat on drive off a bridge is ethereal as hell and goes hard as hell, your sample of that crazy sorority video just feels nuts that you were able to make it sound like that. your production skills are absolutely top notch
I started listening to your music all the way back to Cafeteria, and I just want to say it’s been an absolute pleasure to see the development of your music over the years. Every single release of yours has been the soundtrack to so many moments in my life, and I’m so grateful you share your talent with the world. Thank you, Jakey
Before this album I had all of jakeys music in a playlist that went from newest to oldest. I would play it for a month or two straight every morning in 2021 while riding my bike up from Koreatown to Silver Lake. It was a challenging ride for me and every time I hear that playlist it brings me back to those mornings
@@curtislinden9297 I had something similar, they became my gym music for a while and when i listen to cafeteria i think of my 6am bike rides to the gym before school where the cyclical beat would blast as the sun rised. emotional times now but i’ll be forever connected to his music for those days.
@@spencerlee4410 absolutely, love that you share a similar experience. They’re a gift, those connections with music that bring you someplace else in time
Only 8 songs and each one is already becoming important in my life just like your previous songs, you have a serious talent Jake I’m so glad you could grow a platform to share this
Nakey, you're an inspiration. Please don't stop what you're doing. You're an artist that has touched many lives, including mine. Thank you, and god bless.
I'm usually not that into UA-camr music, but hot damn if this entire album doesn't slap the hardest. I will say it's personally on my Top 5 albums of the year list for sure. I cannot stop listening to ROMCOM. Well done Jakey, you killed it.
The cinematography is amazing. Jake i’m so elated to see this amazing project you’ve worked on. Thank you for the hundredth time for making content and amazing music for us to enjoy. The lyrics for this song specifically hit me really hard. I never thought i’d be this proud of someone i’d never met. I hope I one day have the opportunity to give you a handshake and a hug. Thank you Jake ❤
The Michaelsoft Binbows line @2:45 is perfect. There’s so many good one liners throughout the album, I’m impressed how I find a new one after every listen
I can't imagine how you produced this all on your own, fuck talent, this is raw artistic vision meets dedicated passion. I've been bumping this album on repeat since yesterday, the way the tracks transition into eachother rivals even the greats. It's so easy to listen to, I just get lost in it.
Jakey, i cant begin to describe how happy i am for you. To see how far you've come is inane. Ive been so excited for this album. Almost 3 years ago i made my first solo road trip and it was the same week you dropped Not Dead Yet and it became a permanent part of my playlists. All your songs are. Saintlike and Moby dick were legitimately two of my most played songs the past 2 years. I never thought one of my favorite UA-camrs would also become one of my favorite musicians and i cant wait for more. Of whatever it is.
I’ve been watching your videos for prolly a lil over 2 years now, and I just gotta say your a huge inspiration. I love seeing all your brand new videos. Your the goat jakey keep doing what your doing.
Ive been replaying the end of pine barrens non stop because I loved that switch up. Had no idea this was gonna be a whole ass track. Also love that you sampled a sorrority chant, genius.
Shigeru Miyamoto once said, “A delayed game is eventually good, a bad game is bad forever.” Apparently this also applies to music, except RomCom is more than good, it's like Frosted Flakes in my ear holes. Congrats, Snake Boi! My girlfriend is gonna have to listen to this whole ass album on repeat for at least a year. 😁
Sampling that terrifying video of those sorority girls is a very large brain move and honestly one of my favorite samples I've ever seen anybody use. Love you Jakey.
Pine Barrens might be my most played song this year, so I'm beyond excited to finally get to hear this album! Thank-you for everything you put out. Your creativity really means a lot to many people. I did that thing where I wrote a load more and deleted it, but thank-you. Big love.
bruh this album is so fire, definitely worth the wait. the lyricism, sampling, instrumentals, it's all so good. There's is such a great mix of humor, anger, sadness, joy. I have never felt so many emotions at once from one song before bro, amazing job as always.
jakey, i moved from orlando to nyc in 2019 right before the pandemic needing to restart my life i found heartbreak in the world and heartbreak in my heart i found heartbreak in my childhood you are not alone thank you for your album, you have friends in NYC. -aylin
Jakey this album is a masterpiece, thank you for being as awesome as you are. Pine Barrens came at a time when I was at all time low. I felt like I was understood, and I wanted to listen to Drive Off A Bridge in its entirety so badly. Thank you again, hope life is good for you now :)
I've never rushed over to a video so fast. You're one of my favorite artists rn, and this beat and lyrics are impeccable. So proud of the strides and improvements you've made in your crafts man.
I'm so happy there is an official release of this now, and not just looped versions from people who love to hear that Gran Turismo countdown. That sample just calls back to my childhood, perfect execution
Such an amazingly produced album and such an amazingly shot music video! Shout-out to 2:04 where Jakey saves Fritz from traffic. That's a good friend right there. :)
This song fucking slaps and is helping me through a really difficult time right now. I also just realized it came out on my birthday . I know its a coincidence but it still makes me feel better for some strange reason. Nakeyjakey you are a talented ass man, keep doing what you are doing, and thank you for everything. Dog Bless.
I was going through an immensely difficult time when this dropped, and though I'm sure the inspiration for your experiences are wildly different, it helped me so much. Thanks so much Jakey, I could feel how personal and raw this was for you. An incredible album, and a new favorite for a lifetime.
romcom was well worth the wait. your technical abilities as a producer have developed SO much, every song sounds dialed in and part of it’s own little world on this record. 100% feels like a level up from the rest of your music and I’m very glad that it’s finally out
You'll never see this, man. But I've been a big fan since "Beer in Video Games". I sincerely hope you made this music more for yourself than for us. We love your productions, don't get it twisted. It's always a treat after a 3 course meal. But we all have our own battles to fight and I hope you dont ever feel obligated to make content for us to such a degree that it affects your stress levels or affects your mental health. Your fans love what you do and love to watch your growth. But please always remember that you are one of the few genuine content creators on this platform. Your content alone has surely been a bright spot on many people's days, maybe even weeks. You killed it, man. This album bumps. Do what you gotta do, because we appreciate you through it all. And we'll see you in the next one.
Jakey, your music has been with me through some important and pretty difficult parts of my life. I first discovered you my freshman year of college, I moved to a completely new state with no friends and then the pandemic hit and that just compounded everything. And now, listening to this album I just began my PhD. Basically, your releases have marked huge milestones in my own life and I can't thank you enough for doing what you do. The album is absolutely fantastic.
Ilysm Jakey, your music has always been so special to me. There really aren’t enough words for the amount of help and support I have found through your music and your videos.
Like everything jakey makes, this slaps so hard. Makes me want to dance, cry, laugh, and give Jake a hug all at once. Love you brother, keep creating, because you're resonating with a lot of people who are here with you
This music video is so simple and yet so endearing and wholesome in a way how he doesn't do big budget location swapping and flashy editing. I just love the energy this man creates , love you Jakey XOXO
Do you ever wanna meet someone famous or successful just to tell how fucking amazing their art really is. The whole album is insane, the videos are pure gold. This man just doesn't miss at all and it just bothers me that I can't express it enough
Jacob, I cannot put into words not only how entirely proud I am of you and how much this albums means to me and is going to help me. I've been following you for several years now and I have not stopped listening to your music, I haven't missed a video and I've seen every video on your channel. Your channel and music is like a warm nostalgic hug and it feels so tranquil and calm. Your videos have so much of what I grew up doing, eating and watching and it feels like I'm with a childhood friend reliving memories out in my head. It has gotten me through some horrible times and right now I've been sick on and off and I'm on the mend and this album was just what I needed. I love everything about this album. First of all, the production is in a league of it's own. Please pat yourself in the back because it is one of, if not the most polished records I have ever heard. Everything is so crystal clear and immersive. I also loved the multiple uses of several beats, lyrics and samples as it really adds so many layers of detail and meticulous craftsmanship. I am so proud of you Jacob. I know the strength of the vices of depression and anxiety and I understand how hard it is to simply exists most days. I am so thankful you pushed forward and took care of yourself and kept fighting, and your music and your videos will keep me going forward. I get teary eyed listening to it because I can not only hear but feel all the emotion, time, energy and sleepless nights it took for you to get here and bestow this beautiful album. It really feels like I have a friend in you and you're rooting for me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Jacob. Thank you for pushing through and thank you for being you
Bro I've been listening to you since Medium. This goes so hard. The entire album goes so hard. Your music never fails to inspire me. Please keep doing what you love, no matter what that is because you've given the gift of hope and energy through your music to so many people. We are here to support you always.
I always get so excited when a new video drops. Doesn't matter if its a new song or a yoga ball video, everything Jakey puts out is a high quality, lovingly crafted banger.
The albums been repeat for me since it dropped. Every song is immaculate. You did real good man, I hope you're proud of it. Much love from Australia. xx
listened to the whole album, no skips, a smooth listen all the way through. The outros were so good!! and my re listen of pine barrens, I was not expecting the remix. so proud of you Jakey. Literally cried, a visceral experience, album of the year, we truly have been waiting for you all summer. < 3
I think Jakey's has been the only creator to ever have posted music that has resonated with me so much and has been so good that I revisit it often. When he releases new music, it's always straight ear candy.
Jakey, I thank you. You have put out videos that made me feel better, videos that made me laugh, and videos that i can relate to, a thousand others wiĺl agree also. The elation when i saw your new album dropped was unreal. I would love to shake your hand in my lifetime, youve affected people int the absolute best way. Much love
This song is getting me through a ridiculously hard time right now for me and my chronic illness shit and music has always been a part of any treatments I get. Please, for the love of Dog, never stop making music. You're in heavy rotation, friend.
Added the album to my favorite albums playlist after the first two seconds of drive off a bridge. This is the music I desperately need rn, thank you Jakey for battling through the demons and darkness to share this with us, it really does help 💜💜💜.
jakey. i hope you know how important you are to me. to all of us. and how impactful your music has been, is, and will continue to be. and all i can do is thank you and continue to support your endeavors. we love you jakey.
You crazy bastard, you finally did it, you released the whole track. This is my reason to stay alive today, for absolute real. (AND a DDR sample to boot??? BRUH.) I have had the teaser on repeat so long and this morning I am losing my shit dancing to this full track on repeat. I couldn't even *conceive* this track would be SUCH A FUCKING BANGER to the degree it is. I'm so glad you exist, Jake. Please keep doing your thing. Love you dude.
I've been waiting for this song since the teaser at the end of pine barrens. I love it. Thank you Jakey. For your music, your videos, your existence. Your content helped me through some dark times, so I am extremely happy to listen to the album in full now! Keep on bein' you!
Jacob you don’t even know to begin how excited I am for this album! You are my top third artist this year at 53 hours… with only seven songs out on Apple ❤️ Through that Pine Barrens became my top song of the year too. Thank you man for the raw moments because obviously it helps others process and just jam out to their emotions. The “and the Oscar goes to” should been more like “and the GRAMMY goes to” because I have faith to hear that for you in the future 😤
Jakey I love you, man. Thanks for all the crazy, whacky and creative shit you've put out these past years, you've tickled my brain's over grown nostalgia gland in a special way (yikes) with your content and genuinely helped me through some though times. Like your songs too. I hope your doing ok and continue to do so, keep doing what you do and believe in it and yourself.
My album of the year for sure, worth the wait, with how excellent it is. I’ve listened to every single you put out hundreds of times at this point, and I’m ready to have this album on repeat for the next month or so.
Great album. Some of the best beats I've heard in a long time. Lyrics are meaningful and you could hear the work that was put into it. Thank you for giving us more songs to listen too.
This was well worth the years of waiting, you absolutely nailed these songs. Take some time to relish in the praise Jakey you absolutely deserve it for the work you’ve put in to bringing this to life.
Absolutely incredible album Jakey. Listened to it two times in a row. Loved how each song led into each other and told a story. I’m excited to listen to listen to the album again. And this video is so freaking cool, just like the last music video you have a real gift and i’m so excited that we all get to watch you excel
I've been checking in almost every week and by dog above it was worth the wait. You got me in tears man. This is unreal. Incredible. Keep prioritizing yourself, and keep doing what you do
Actually cannot belive the album is out and its absolitely perfect! I'm loving it, been watching you for about 5 years now which is insane to me as I could watch your content over and pver again without getting bored! I hope you are living your best life and a big thanks from me
ok let’s try this again lmao thank you so very much for watching, listening, glistening, and christening my ass with any amount of your attention it seriously means the world 2 me and i really hope u like this album. now I'm gonna go play god of war raggyrock and do weeb shit in the garage :) xoxo

Jakey the most underrated producer I swear. Shit sounds so clean man.

I recently got a really nice job that pays well and it's the first time I've felt comfortable since I was a kid.

can you direct me to the other stuff that is "this type of music" because i'd like to listen to it.
same bro
@Mike Cicciari I'd say it's like a mix of pop and rap. Jakey has his own unique sound. Nothing is quite like his sound yet.

Yo mama has awe-inspiring width
It's heartfelt listening to all of romcom and seeing jakey flourish like this. We all love you and the progress you've made in both your work and all you've been able to power through, jakester. As an artist that's struggled with insane burnout myself, and even as just some random fan, I feel genuine pride in watching you shine this hard. Dog bless, much love ❤
Dog bless 😂 made me laugh
This project and this song in particular has gotten me through the last few months. A few weeks after it was released, my grandfather passed. He was like a second dad to me, my best mate. When he died I was just angry, I didn't no how to respond. It didn't feel real. The first thing I did after I found out he was no longer with us was listen to this just staring at the sky. It's gotten me through some real dark moments recently. I'm learning to not let his passing haunt my every moment and it's project like Romcom that have helped provide distraction and comfort from the pain of losing a huge part of my life. Thank you so much Jakey for this. You're a saint, you're a soul.
God damn... Jakey I HATE that you don't post as often but it's so obvious your music is your voice right now and I'm just so happy that you are making it happen. From a random fan of several years, Congrats on the new album and much love
The production value on this album is unmatched. It’s an absolute banger. 🔥❤️
ngl the beat on drive off a bridge is ethereal as hell and goes hard as hell, your sample of that crazy sorority video just feels nuts that you were able to make it sound like that. your production skills are absolutely top notch
I started listening to your music all the way back to Cafeteria, and I just want to say it’s been an absolute pleasure to see the development of your music over the years. Every single release of yours has been the soundtrack to so many moments in my life, and I’m so grateful you share your talent with the world. Thank you, Jakey
i remember being stunned at the production on cafeteria… it was not a one off jakeys production is legitimately top notch
Before this album I had all of jakeys music in a playlist that went from newest to oldest. I would play it for a month or two straight every morning in 2021 while riding my bike up from Koreatown to Silver Lake. It was a challenging ride for me and every time I hear that playlist it brings me back to those mornings
@@curtislinden9297 I had something similar, they became my gym music for a while and when i listen to cafeteria i think of my 6am bike rides to the gym before school where the cyclical beat would blast as the sun rised. emotional times now but i’ll be forever connected to his music for those days.
@@spencerlee4410 absolutely, love that you share a similar experience. They’re a gift, those connections with music that bring you someplace else in time
@@curtislinden9297 agreed entirely
Only 8 songs and each one is already becoming important in my life just like your previous songs, you have a serious talent Jake I’m so glad you could grow a platform to share this
Nakey, you're an inspiration. Please don't stop what you're doing. You're an artist that has touched many lives, including mine. Thank you, and god bless.
I'm usually not that into UA-camr music, but hot damn if this entire album doesn't slap the hardest. I will say it's personally on my Top 5 albums of the year list for sure. I cannot stop listening to ROMCOM. Well done Jakey, you killed it.
What is UA-camr music?
@@Monocerus90music made by UA-camrs. Spans various genres, has a reputation of generally being shit; Jakey is an outlier in that department
The cinematography is amazing. Jake i’m so elated to see this amazing project you’ve worked on. Thank you for the hundredth time for making content and amazing music for us to enjoy. The lyrics for this song specifically hit me really hard. I never thought i’d be this proud of someone i’d never met. I hope I one day have the opportunity to give you a handshake and a hug. Thank you Jake ❤
The Michaelsoft Binbows line @2:45 is perfect. There’s so many good one liners throughout the album, I’m impressed how I find a new one after every listen
I can't imagine how you produced this all on your own, fuck talent, this is raw artistic vision meets dedicated passion.
I've been bumping this album on repeat since yesterday, the way the tracks transition into eachother rivals even the greats. It's so easy to listen to, I just get lost in it.
Jakey, i cant begin to describe how happy i am for you. To see how far you've come is inane. Ive been so excited for this album. Almost 3 years ago i made my first solo road trip and it was the same week you dropped Not Dead Yet and it became a permanent part of my playlists. All your songs are. Saintlike and Moby dick were legitimately two of my most played songs the past 2 years. I never thought one of my favorite UA-camrs would also become one of my favorite musicians and i cant wait for more. Of whatever it is.
I’ve been watching your videos for prolly a lil over 2 years now, and I just gotta say your a huge inspiration. I love seeing all your brand new videos. Your the goat jakey keep doing what your doing.
Ive been replaying the end of pine barrens non stop because I loved that switch up. Had no idea this was gonna be a whole ass track. Also love that you sampled a sorrority chant, genius.
Now that you mention it it DOES sound like a sorority chant. Dude I’ve been trying to figure out what the hell that sample was since the album dropped
Shigeru Miyamoto once said, “A delayed game is eventually good, a bad game is bad forever.”
Apparently this also applies to music, except RomCom is more than good, it's like Frosted Flakes in my ear holes.
Congrats, Snake Boi! My girlfriend is gonna have to listen to this whole ass album on repeat for at least a year. 😁
Sampling that terrifying video of those sorority girls is a very large brain move and honestly one of my favorite samples I've ever seen anybody use. Love you Jakey.
Pine Barrens might be my most played song this year, so I'm beyond excited to finally get to hear this album!
Thank-you for everything you put out. Your creativity really means a lot to many people.
I did that thing where I wrote a load more and deleted it, but thank-you. Big love.
bruh this album is so fire, definitely worth the wait. the lyricism, sampling, instrumentals, it's all so good. There's is such a great mix of humor, anger, sadness, joy. I have never felt so many emotions at once from one song before bro, amazing job as always.
jakey,
i moved from orlando to nyc in 2019 right before the pandemic needing to restart my life
i found heartbreak in the world and heartbreak in my heart
i found heartbreak in my childhood
you are not alone
thank you for your album, you have friends in NYC.
-aylin
Jakey this album is a masterpiece, thank you for being as awesome as you are. Pine Barrens came at a time when I was at all time low. I felt like I was understood, and I wanted to listen to Drive Off A Bridge in its entirety so badly. Thank you again, hope life is good for you now :)
STREAM ROMCOM
IT’LL GIVE YOU GIANT MILKERS
Tested
@@DezzersMezzers can confirm . The album slaps so hard it body morphs you into the opposite gender
Such a great song to start off the album, amazing work
I've never rushed over to a video so fast. You're one of my favorite artists rn, and this beat and lyrics are impeccable. So proud of the strides and improvements you've made in your crafts man.
I'm so happy there is an official release of this now, and not just looped versions from people who love to hear that Gran Turismo countdown. That sample just calls back to my childhood, perfect execution
Keep doing what you're doing, from the Midwest, we love you jakey
Such an amazingly produced album and such an amazingly shot music video! Shout-out to 2:04 where Jakey saves Fritz from traffic. That's a good friend right there. :)
This song fucking slaps and is helping me through a really difficult time right now. I also just realized it came out on my birthday . I know its a coincidence but it still makes me feel better for some strange reason. Nakeyjakey you are a talented ass man, keep doing what you are doing, and thank you for everything. Dog Bless.
I was going through an immensely difficult time when this dropped, and though I'm sure the inspiration for your experiences are wildly different, it helped me so much. Thanks so much Jakey, I could feel how personal and raw this was for you. An incredible album, and a new favorite for a lifetime.
God, never been more proud of a dude I have never met. Good job Jakey, can't imagine the relief of finishing this massive project
romcom was well worth the wait. your technical abilities as a producer have developed SO much, every song sounds dialed in and part of it’s own little world on this record. 100% feels like a level up from the rest of your music and I’m very glad that it’s finally out
You'll never see this, man. But I've been a big fan since "Beer in Video Games". I sincerely hope you made this music more for yourself than for us. We love your productions, don't get it twisted. It's always a treat after a 3 course meal. But we all have our own battles to fight and I hope you dont ever feel obligated to make content for us to such a degree that it affects your stress levels or affects your mental health. Your fans love what you do and love to watch your growth. But please always remember that you are one of the few genuine content creators on this platform. Your content alone has surely been a bright spot on many people's days, maybe even weeks. You killed it, man. This album bumps. Do what you gotta do, because we appreciate you through it all. And we'll see you in the next one.
Jakey, your music has been with me through some important and pretty difficult parts of my life. I first discovered you my freshman year of college, I moved to a completely new state with no friends and then the pandemic hit and that just compounded everything. And now, listening to this album I just began my PhD. Basically, your releases have marked huge milestones in my own life and I can't thank you enough for doing what you do. The album is absolutely fantastic.
Ilysm Jakey, your music has always been so special to me. There really aren’t enough words for the amount of help and support I have found through your music and your videos.
love the merge between serious and funny, in the way he does it usually
Like everything jakey makes, this slaps so hard. Makes me want to dance, cry, laugh, and give Jake a hug all at once. Love you brother, keep creating, because you're resonating with a lot of people who are here with you
This music video is so simple and yet so endearing and wholesome in a way how he doesn't do big budget location swapping and flashy editing. I just love the energy this man creates , love you Jakey XOXO
Do you ever wanna meet someone famous or successful just to tell how fucking amazing their art really is. The whole album is insane, the videos are pure gold. This man just doesn't miss at all and it just bothers me that I can't express it enough
Jacob, I cannot put into words not only how entirely proud I am of you and how much this albums means to me and is going to help me. I've been following you for several years now and I have not stopped listening to your music, I haven't missed a video and I've seen every video on your channel. Your channel and music is like a warm nostalgic hug and it feels so tranquil and calm. Your videos have so much of what I grew up doing, eating and watching and it feels like I'm with a childhood friend reliving memories out in my head. It has gotten me through some horrible times and right now I've been sick on and off and I'm on the mend and this album was just what I needed. I love everything about this album. First of all, the production is in a league of it's own. Please pat yourself in the back because it is one of, if not the most polished records I have ever heard. Everything is so crystal clear and immersive. I also loved the multiple uses of several beats, lyrics and samples as it really adds so many layers of detail and meticulous craftsmanship. I am so proud of you Jacob. I know the strength of the vices of depression and anxiety and I understand how hard it is to simply exists most days. I am so thankful you pushed forward and took care of yourself and kept fighting, and your music and your videos will keep me going forward. I get teary eyed listening to it because I can not only hear but feel all the emotion, time, energy and sleepless nights it took for you to get here and bestow this beautiful album. It really feels like I have a friend in you and you're rooting for me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Jacob. Thank you for pushing through and thank you for being you
Been listening this song on repeat it doesn’t get tiring and boy that voice your blessed🔥
Jakey it looks like you've made an anthem, and I think you should know it's now the anthem to my whole life. I love this album, and it inspires me.
Bro I've been listening to you since Medium. This goes so hard. The entire album goes so hard. Your music never fails to inspire me. Please keep doing what you love, no matter what that is because you've given the gift of hope and energy through your music to so many people. We are here to support you always.
I always get so excited when a new video drops. Doesn't matter if its a new song or a yoga ball video, everything Jakey puts out is a high quality, lovingly crafted banger.
The albums been repeat for me since it dropped. Every song is immaculate. You did real good man, I hope you're proud of it. Much love from Australia. xx
Still bumping this jakey, its heartbreaking seeing this video only get 400k views while the rest of your content is 1m+. Genuinely underrated stuff.
listened to the whole album, no skips, a smooth listen all the way through. The outros were so good!! and my re listen of pine barrens, I was not expecting the remix. so proud of you Jakey. Literally cried, a visceral experience, album of the year, we truly have been waiting for you all summer. < 3
I've listened to Romcom almost a jizzillion times now. That's almost half of the notoriety it deserves. I love you NakobJacob. Don't ever stop.
I think Jakey's has been the only creator to ever have posted music that has resonated with me so much and has been so good that I revisit it often. When he releases new music, it's always straight ear candy.
Jakey, I thank you. You have put out videos that made me feel better, videos that made me laugh, and videos that i can relate to, a thousand others wiĺl agree also. The elation when i saw your new album dropped was unreal. I would love to shake your hand in my lifetime, youve affected people int the absolute best way. Much love
I like the accent on the "l"
This song is getting me through a ridiculously hard time right now for me and my chronic illness shit and music has always been a part of any treatments I get. Please, for the love of Dog, never stop making music. You're in heavy rotation, friend.
Added the album to my favorite albums playlist after the first two seconds of drive off a bridge. This is the music I desperately need rn, thank you Jakey for battling through the demons and darkness to share this with us, it really does help 💜💜💜.
For real you hear the instrumental and the beat picking up and you Know it's gonna be godly
@@noaag “godly” lmaooo
jakey. i hope you know how important you are to me. to all of us. and how impactful your music has been, is, and will continue to be. and all i can do is thank you and continue to support your endeavors.
we love you jakey.
I have a feeling this track is gonna be the one that gets me through my seasonal depression this winter. Thanks Jakey.
the whole album is fire, these beats are out of this world
genuinely one of the best albums released this year, i cant stop listening. thank you Jakey, we love you
i had been waiting so long for this to drop lol. didn't get the notification that it came out three whole months ago. worth the wait
You crazy bastard, you finally did it, you released the whole track. This is my reason to stay alive today, for absolute real. (AND a DDR sample to boot??? BRUH.) I have had the teaser on repeat so long and this morning I am losing my shit dancing to this full track on repeat. I couldn't even *conceive* this track would be SUCH A FUCKING BANGER to the degree it is. I'm so glad you exist, Jake. Please keep doing your thing. Love you dude.
I've been waiting for this song since the teaser at the end of pine barrens. I love it. Thank you Jakey. For your music, your videos, your existence. Your content helped me through some dark times, so I am extremely happy to listen to the album in full now! Keep on bein' you!
I'm so proud of Jakey; that new verse just flows SO well goddamn
This album is a triumph. Thank you for sharing this with us. Big love.
Jacob you don’t even know to begin how excited I am for this album! You are my top third artist this year at 53 hours… with only seven songs out on Apple ❤️ Through that Pine Barrens became my top song of the year too. Thank you man for the raw moments because obviously it helps others process and just jam out to their emotions. The “and the Oscar goes to” should been more like “and the GRAMMY goes to” because I have faith to hear that for you in the future 😤
Jakey I love you, man. Thanks for all the crazy, whacky and creative shit you've put out these past years, you've tickled my brain's over grown nostalgia gland in a special way (yikes) with your content and genuinely helped me through some though times. Like your songs too. I hope your doing ok and continue to do so, keep doing what you do and believe in it and yourself.

My album of the year for sure, worth the wait, with how excellent it is. I’ve listened to every single you put out hundreds of times at this point, and I’m ready to have this album on repeat for the next month or so.
Thank you Jakey. I said it last night, but thank you for making these amazing songs. They mean more to us than you know.
Being apart of your entire journey has been nothing short of amazing, your music has made special moments in my life and thank you for everything!
Great album. Some of the best beats I've heard in a long time. Lyrics are meaningful and you could hear the work that was put into it. Thank you for giving us more songs to listen too.
This was well worth the years of waiting, you absolutely nailed these songs. Take some time to relish in the praise Jakey you absolutely deserve it for the work you’ve put in to bringing this to life.
This and pine barrens been stuck in my head for weeks.
Absolutely incredible album Jakey. Listened to it two times in a row. Loved how each song led into each other and told a story. I’m excited to listen to listen to the album again.
And this video is so freaking cool, just like the last music video
you have a real gift and i’m so excited that we all get to watch you excel
Listening to this while driving got me fighting demons fr
I've been checking in almost every week and by dog above it was worth the wait. You got me in tears man. This is unreal. Incredible. Keep prioritizing yourself, and keep doing what you do
Actually cannot belive the album is out and its absolitely perfect! I'm loving it, been watching you for about 5 years now which is insane to me as I could watch your content over and pver again without getting bored! I hope you are living your best life and a big thanks from me
