Musician/Producer Reacts to "Forever Young" by Dirty Loops
To all of you who attended the Premiere THANK YOU SO MUCH for all of your generosity!!! Love you guys! When Jonah and I were chatting about how they did their videos I sent him a screenshot of the poll (ua-cam.com/users/StrateleStudioscommunity) and this was his response....
Jeff: "Looks like people wanna be "Rickrolled" by Dirty Loops 😆"
Jonah: "Hahahahaha! Well this could happen! 😆 that's hilarious! I wonder what we would do with that song, hmmm"
Jeff: "You would be legendary if you did it! Wonder? Just do what you always do...make it 10 times better😆
We, the followers of "The Jeffness" bow to you Jonah, Aron and Henrik for the joy you bring us! So glad you are doing your crazy magic to music... ;-)
...only speaking for myself here frankly - or not?
@@matto9734 You are awesome, my friend... :) :) :)
You have no idea how happy this made me;; this was fun, on soo many levels! What I wouldn´t do to get rickrolled by Dirty Loops!!! It's an instant classic!
Thank you (mah name...speaking of memes) Jeff. Even if this doesn´t come to fruition, the thought of hearing something like that is enough to make me excited!!!!
@@robotmilker Yes!!!!
@@JamilaGomez82 😂😂😂
You are fantastic! I have been crying a lot because of this boys. They are masters!
Thank you so much, Marcus! Ya man, it doesn't take much for me to get there emotionally with these guys. This this was particularly hard for me to keep it together.
The musical emotion in me that these super human musicians create is mindblowing.
The keyboard solo is like an incarnation of Lyle Mays, even though he was still alive when this was recorded. But, I reckon you see what I mean.
Totally Lyle!
Such an amazing version. I love the pat metheny style solo!
That's it! I was scraping my brain to find it and this was what I was looking for. Totally Pat Metheny!
Lile May's you mean :)
@@NoTengoIlusiones of course! Pat metheny group style solo i meant!
@@rherlitz just teasing :)🙂 I did understand. PMG is my favourite band.
Love your reactions! Full of knowledge, passion and feeling! Hats off to you, sir! :-) Greetings from Sweden.
Hej Anders! Thank you so much! :) :) :)
Can't believe you hadn't heard this one, it's one of my absolute favorite covers of theirs! So beautiful and nothing quite like anything else they've done. Henrik's little harmonic at the end of the bassline at 2:13 there is so ethereal.
I now right?! I was so excited when I found it and realized I had not heard it. Ahhhhhh!
Some crazy harmonies and bass/drum licks that brings tears to my eyes...Jonah tops it off with dreamlike vocals and keyboard masterstrokes! Heartfelt and honest reaction from you! Love from 🇸🇪
Me too man…🥺 so beautiful…goes beyond words
Love your emotions for this song, Jeff. Respect!
Thank you my friend! This really got to me. 🫶
This was the first song that I heard from Dirty Loops. It came up as a recomendation from UA-cam.
I Love the original Alphaville version so I gave it a try.
I could not stop repeating the song.
Att first it was the drumming. Soo tight and in the pocket. I had a hard time to believe, it was possible to play that tight. Short after that discovery they released "Work shit out" and I was sold. For real I was crying. It just blew My mind.
What a great way to have found them! I know how you feel, believe me! I am frequently driven to tears by these guys.
Yet another wonderfully vulnerable, honest reaction. Dirty Loops have this amazing ability to make covers that end up sounding and feeling like originals. You sir have an amazing ability to listen to the music with all your decades of experience and yet share your appreciation of it with the innocence of a child.
Thank you so much! I’m lucky I can still be so overwhelmed by music like this. ❤️
What a sophistication.
This one really got me!
Jeff! DL reaction videos GOAT by now! 🙏🏻 Always such a pleasure. Enjoying these videos paired with your reactions and remarks makes me feel like Im seeing/hearing it again for the first time. Which is so great!
Thank you! Man, I loved doing this reaction.
I know, I know Jeff. I’m crying right along with you -- and I’ve heard it SO MANY TIMES--the WHOLE THING. But vocally and pianistically - it’s beyond Sensational. One can so easily get lost in this Dirty Loops. Thanks for reminding me how tremendous this is!!! You’re just great!!
I was a wreck even BEFORE I hit the play button! LOL The songs kills me to begin with and DL gotta go do THAT with it. SHEEESH! Thank you Julie! :) :) :)
The keyboard solo has a Pat Methany vibe that fits perfectly with the tune. I've always loved this song, and their cover really makes it stand out on its own.
Thought the very same thing when I heard it.
Thank you, Jeff. Beautiful reaction.
Nostalgia to the bone. Road trip with the love of my life, enjoying the majestic sceneries of our neighboring country Norway. Sleeping in the back of the car whilst rain and thunder was raging outside - safe, young and in love. We didn't stay forever young, but the memories do. Who could ask for more ❤️.
Beautifully, just beautiful! ❤️
Måste fråga: B-näs?? Hälsn Gabbe 😊
😁 Jajamen, Bollnäs här. Hej Gabbe! Helt osannolikt att mötas så här, så himla globalt. Skickar kram!
Jeff: Two gals, who haven't seen each other in decades, from the same small town in the middle of Sweden saying hello on your channel. Who'd have thought! 😄👍
@@Tassilago long time no see! Så fantastiskt litet internet kan vara. Å bra musiksmak oss hälsingejänter emellan… Kram till dig med! 😉👌🏻
You should have so many more subscribers! So many missing out on your reactions, and maybe on Dirty Loops as well.
Ahhhh I'm working on those subs! I'm just getting started really. I think I'm going on 6 weeks with the channel. Getting there! Thank you so much for your kind words. :) :) :)
Beautiful composition! Love how they really made it theirs. It got to me I’m wrecked! Such a nostalgic song for us Gen Xers/Baby-boomers.
You are SO right!!! It kills us, no?!!!
Yes, paradise!
:) :) :)
Great analysis Jeff.
Thank you, Wade! 😊😊😊
Love the outro bass and drums
One of the many things I love about these guys is that their sound is unique, a new version that will never grow old. Thanks for sharing your love and yep, just like of us, bitten by the Dirty Loop bug.
I can say without remorse that they are actually my favorite band, hands down.... not an easy one to overcome. The passion of each arrangement and execution is flawless, even if they'd try to make a mistake on purpose it would sound great. They raised the bar exponentially!!! So happy they exist. Blessings Jeff, this was a great birthday treat for me. Best vibes 4 U 🙌✨🎵
🎉🎊Happy Birthday, Luis! I feel the same way! I am so enamored with these guys!
@@StrateleStudios Thanks man! Appreciate it. I just get hungry for more.. They are contagious in many ways for music fans and geeks. The way they execute is a show on itself. Keep on with the good stuff, and I promise to check other videos. Try to not think of DL as a reference. Hahaha Have a great weekend!
@@LuisBurke Hahaha I know! You too, my friend. 🤝
It's funny how I couldn't even listen to you talk about the original Forever Young without choking up myself, man that song really got to us all. I remember being, what, 10 years old or something, hearing my sisters play it day in and day out, and it just mercilessly drilled a hole in my soul that's been sitting there ever since. Now, Dirty Loops doing this cover and presenting it the way they do here... It's just amazing. I could just sit here and listen, and actually cry, and be the happiest ever.
Man, your comment is making me cry!!! 😭❤️ I almost lost it right from the start of my reaction before the music even started! Some songs have that melancholy magic…this one has tons.
@@StrateleStudios That's EXACTLY it. So happy I stumbled onto your channel, my man, you're a gem. 👊🏻
@@johannest3628 me too! Thank you my brother! 💪🎉🤝
Pure joy! ✌🏻🙌🏻
Yes 😊😊😊
This is my favorite of their covers. The reharm in the chorus just kills me and Jonah soloing over it...my goodness. The chills. I made the mistake of first hearing it while I was driving. Important tip: NEVER have a first listen of anything by Dirty Loops while driving. I had to pull over because I just couldn't do anything. Incredible cover and maybe my favorite cover of anything.
Hahaha, I can totally relate!!! This became my favorite cover and doing this reaction video. It really cuts deep.
Got my reminder set!!!!!
Can’t believe I didn’t see this cover sooner 😩 but another great reaction! So genuine and real. Keep it up! 💯
Thank you!!! 😃😃😃
Lovely
Was fun being in the stream with you guys ´n girls ;-) looking at you Kim and J.Elise
What really grabbed me is how they encircled the original always coming back to the core elements in a pretty pure form. I think you can tell how big of a meaning this song has for them too...
@@JamilaGomez82 ;-)
You know it, my friend!!!
Se pasaron de mambo, excelente versión, armonía que parece desdoblarse, ,el bajo con sus yeites, el sonido y ritmo de la drums, y el solo de teclado que me recuerda a los los de la guitarra de Pat Metheny,, todo peŕecto.,,
i like your reaction. that shuffle is magic
Thank you, Mikael! Man...this stuff is just so amazing. So many great music from these guys!
@@StrateleStudios these guys are magic... Jonah and his skills in music theory and how he can apply that in his playing is magic
Dirty Loops ... the new ABBA. This 3 guys are out of this world.
that shuffle is my new safespace.
Yessir!!!
Loooove your reactions to DL! Amazing soul
Thank you Erik! :)
As always so joyful reaction, hope you havent missed DL cover of ”Ta Fete” supernice, Jonah sings in french!! From same period as forechecka Young😊
THAT is going up the list now!
I can't help feeling like they took some cues from The Pat Metheny Group's 'Letter from Home' album: at the beginning, I thought, "this feels a lot like 5-5-7" and at 4:15 I was transported straight to 'Are We There Yet,' with a reprise of the '5-5-7' feel laid on top of the texture of the second half of that chart. Speaking as a Metheny fan for the last 25+ years, this made me love Dirty Loops even more! 😍
Soooooooo Metheny! 👏👏👏
Like your t-shirt. my favorit album from that artist
Mine too! I never tire of listening to Aja! LOVE IT!
I have worked with a guitarist from sweden (my country) Who worked with steely dan.... Who's name is george wadenius.
Another song that many misses is Dirty Loops cover of Stromaes "La fete".
I'm sure I'll be getting to that gem!
Beautiful chord substitutions and groove!
They made an already moody song moodier with those chord subs! :)
I can't wait!!!! 🤩
Another great reaction Jeff! Did u notice Henrik using the little key on bass... ua-cam.com/video/SSKiR3_hVys/v-deo.html it looks he is decreasing half tone the first bass string...
Oh wow! Great catch, I missed that! 👏👏👏 and thank you! 😊
Find their video for Sayonara Love. It’s an amazing DL original that should have been a radio hit.
❤️❤️❤️
I´ll beee there ;-)
Have you listened to their cover of "Wake Me Up"? I think it's a little off the beaten path for them, but wonderful. I also recommend "Over the Horizon" which also has a different feel to what we're used to.
“Wake Me Up” would be a great one to do! I shot “Over the Horizon” just need to edit it. 😃
@@StrateleStudios Excellent! Looking forward to it. Your reactions are so honest and engaging and, of course, knowledgable.
@@sophiamcl Thank you! 😊😊😊
@@StrateleStudios OVER THE HORIZON???!!!! Finally someone does a reaction video and it’s the best one. Our favourite Jeff! 😃 Yeeeeess!! So excited for that! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Hope I catch it right away cause Im a little worried it might get shut down since Samsung probably owns the rights to it. 😬
My favorite part of this cover is the subtle pedal tone in the chorus. I think the pedal tone is an F#, and the first four notes in the bass line are D, E, F# and G# (sort of outlining D lydian). Meaning that F# is a 3rd against D, a 9th against E, a root/an octave against F#, and as a dominant 7th against G#. I'm not sure G# is the root though, I'm hearing an inversion. But man, those four chords are uplifting! #justmusictheorynerding
You can hear it better in the synth solo (starting from "that" 4:3 polyrhythmic run), which is killer, by the way... I swear, I'm done nerding out now...
And I feel you, man. Isn't it great that there's actually music out there that actually makes us feel like that. Dirty Loops is just one of those bands. Jacob Collier made me cry from the first chord of a song ("Butterflies" off Vol. 3)... 2021 is a great year for music.
Fellow theory geek! hahaha...what do you think about the opening of the song being in G# Phrygian? The bass guitar notes right at the top sound like G# D# F# G#...THEN homeboy starts the next lick with A! I was just playing along improvising in G# Phrygian and it sounded nice...after that I'm not sure without pulling out my headphones. Curious to know what you think! :)
@@StrateleStudios Always love nerding out about these things. ;)
Interesting point about G# Phrygian though! I'm really a product of growing up in the 80's and 90's listening to mostly hard rock and metal music (thanks dad), in which phrygian is heavily used, no pun intended. So phrygian does fly under the radar sometimes. l have to listen to the opening again, it seems. I'm just a sucker for those super bright sounds.
And to that end: I figured out the chord progression in Jonahs solo during that 16-th note run. After dissecting the melody line I believe it's D13#11 (there's your lydian), E6-9, F#add9, G#7sus4. It starts out tense with the first chord, then mellows out a bit on the E and F# chords, but that G#7sus4 has a tritone in it between the ... Hold up....
G# major is.. G# A# *B#* C# D# *E#* F# G#... Think I'll swap the 7 sharps for 5 flats...
That *Ab7sus4* has a tritone in it between the final note C in the melody and the pedal tone b7. To me it ends up sounding both bright and dark.
I'll get back to you on the phrygian thing👍
@@StrateleStudios OK quick chord progression: G#m7, A6-9 (or A13#11
@@straazz ok, I gotta know...your theory knowledge is so on point are you a keyboard player? Also, do you have any music recorded I could hear?! :)
@@StrateleStudios Sadly I was never any good at keyboards. I began as a flutist, believe it or not. Then I taught myself guitar, bass and a smattering of other stuff. It's been years and years since I recorded anything, mostly on account of being a dad.
The theory stuff is also self taught. I just love figuring stuff out. Why does this chord sound bright or dark? Is this a polyrhythmic or wonky groove? And why does leaning on the 2 and 6 when improvising over a minor7 chord sound "fusion-y" rather than blues-y?
That's all good fun, but I've always been better at the theory stuff than the actual playing. I mean, on the flute was more than fine, but with the guitar in particular I could never get my left hand dexterity going. So no noodling or lead stuff, no matter how much I practiced. I did get pretty good with a pick, and I can do some Tosin Abasi style "thumping." Think I'll have to get more serious with it again.
I thought I'd mention what music inspires me these days, because you seem just as thirsty for music that's full of information, so to speak, both technically and emotionally. My absolute favorite guitarist right now is Joshua De La Victoria. He has a few releases to his name, and a UA-cam channel with short snippets of ideas which are fully produced. He delves into pretty advanced stuff without it sounding overly complex or void of emotion. Like metric modulation.
And you obviosly know of Owane, who's actually an aquaintance of one of my younger brothers (should probably mention I'm Norwegian). And he's made insane strides in his playing over a very short period of time. Like the Crossroad Blues guy...
Finally, the phenomenon that is Louis Cole, and his band Knower. The music is chord heavy his drumming is insane. He also has a two man side project called Clown Core with himself on drums, Sam Gendel on sax, and the both of them on a smattering of synths and horns. I imagine that started just as a joke, but is still just entertaining. I mean, the last album was recorded in a moving van in Garage band.
Wow, this was a long one... I'll end on this note: Jonah uploaded a session breakdown of "Bad" on UA-cam. You'll probably want to get on it ;)
That was a very Lyle Mays/Pat Metheny sound on that synth solo.
During the reaction, I was scraping my brain looking for this information and came up short. THIS IS EXACTLY what I was looking for. You are totally on the money!
Check out the cover of a Japanese song. With Dirty Loops.
It is called "Automatic"
Maybe you have not heard that One?
Oh hell yea! Gonna be in my batch for next week. Thanks!
Old stuff ... "The Way She Walks," "Accidentally in Love," "Die for You," "Undo" (cover), "Ta Fete" (cover), "I'm Lost in You," and of course, "Hit Me."
I am doing just what you are doing...crying. To think, 2 years ago they disbanded after a crappy contract with David Foster. He did not know what to do with them. But, there is a God. He sold their contract to Quincy Jones. Dig into their new stuff with Cory Wong and the horn section overseen by The great Quincy Jones. My first purchase when I build my house is a pair of Martin Logan speakers and an Adcom amp, I will be listening to Dirty Loops as an audiophile.
YES!!! 👏👏👏👏👏🎉🎊🫶
Another great reaction! Proud to be a Swed!!! Eh! i just checked your Bio!! The Plimsouls and Steve Hackett!!! Are you for real?? Fantastic!!!!
I wish I was a Swed 😢
Oh man, another one you most certainly would like is Eleanor Rigby performed by Sam Wilkes, Louis Cole, and Jacob Collier. I think the names say enough
Oh man...You're talking my language, Mike. These are my boys!!!
tell me if I'm wrong but I think he already used this patch for a solo, for the next to you one... I'm not sure ! As always godo reaction and good analysis !
You know I think you're right! I think the fact that he was playing in a lower register reminded me more of a trombone patch but they do sound the same! Good catch!
@@StrateleStudios Thanks to confirm !
You should check out this band AVIATIONS song OUTLIERS RETROSPECT VIDEO..AMAZING BAND AND SONG..
Wow, cool stuff! Lead singer is really, really good. Whole band is awesome!
PLEASE REACT TO DIRTY LOOPS - DIRTY (COVER Cristina aguileira) (have insane bass solo)
Oh yes! I remember that solo was shredding!!!
@@StrateleStudios since you’ve heard it already, you mightn’t be able to do a reaction to it, but maybe an analysis of it?
There are so many insane (and hilarious) moments in it….
🙏
Please do a reaction to Elephant Gym. Such an amazing band from Taiwan; Im sure that you will LOVE them!
It's so funny - nowadays when I hear something I enjoy, my first thought is "I bet Jeff would like this!" lol
Hahaha that's awesome! Hey, can you send me a link of one of their best tunes? :)
So very cool, by the way, please react to sayonara love...
Ah yes…that’s a good one!
Hi Jeff! I have question to you. Do you think DL use auto tune? You are a musician and a producer. Sometime the high notes sounds artificiell. Maybe I’m wrong but I have read about auto tune and that many artist use it today. Anyway, thank you for your wonderful reactions.
Hi Thomas, that is a great question! I would say that if Jonah does use auto tune it’s to hasten the recording process and not because he CAN’T sing it “perfectly”. In the old days we’d have to sing something 20 times to get the one take “perfectly” executed but today we have tools that allow us to correct minor issues then go on our way. Can it be abused? You bet it can and you hear it when it is. To get a good sense of how much it is or isn’t used with Jonah take a listen to his live performances. It’s obvious he needs very little help from auto tune.
@@StrateleStudios Thank you for your great answer. 💕
@@tomastegethoff4255 anytime my friend!
The original always annoyed the hell out of me…😂 and now it’s a thing of beauty. Agree on the shuffle 100% and together with the harmonies, bass lines to die for, vocals. It’s too good. And YOU are too good, Jeff!! ♥️ Ps. Scary Pockets have made a Rick Roll, ua-cam.com/video/sQnoZUR6fvY/v-deo.html
Hahahaha....you know when I say "It's too good" I can barely take it! hahaha. That Rick Roll is sweet! Cool vibe!
Saw a recent reaction to this. The reactor said they totally destroyed the song.
Well, some people get used to hearing it a certain way I guess. 😉
I want to be Forever Freud.
I want to hear them cover "Superstition," by Stevie Wonder.
Oh that would just kill! 👏
@@StrateleStudios or something by Prince that's good and funky, like "Kiss."
@@barbaracale1015 ooooooo I like, I like!
Jeff, why don't you invite Jonah or, for that matter, the entire band to an interview in your channel?
Jonah is booked, we are currently working on a date 😊
@@StrateleStudios That would be a treat! I think you're able to ask the "right" questions.
@@hakedunder Thank you! Ya we’ve been messaging over the last few weeks so he kinda seems more like a friend now. Should be a comfortable chat.
@@StrateleStudios Very nice first part of your interview! Well done! Have you heard this, very early, DL-production: ua-cam.com/video/0LXQYAphr0M/v-deo.html
This was amazing (per usual!)
I would love to see you react to a track by "Dance Gavin Dance"
Not exactly mainstream or easy-listening, but you have a very eclectic taste, so I think you would appreciate them.
Just took a sneak peek at one of their tunes. I LIKE IT! What would be your top pick from these guys?
I recently discovered this band, so I'm sure there's a lot of DGD fans that would disagree; but I think "strawberry swisher pt 3 (tree city session 2)" is something you would enjoy (the video is of a live set, rather than a conventional music video)
I looooove the dynamics in "uneasy hearts weigh the most" (tree city session 2)
So if I may revise my pick - that track is more interesting, in my most humble opinion.
@@robotmilker dang, the guitar players sings too 😃!
@@StrateleStudios I know right?! So they have 3 unique voice's in that band.
I really love all those ghost hits from the drummer 🤩
Regardless if you like it or not, none of their tracks will leave you bored and that is high praise, if you ask me 🤗
Search for Samsung single?! DL win the year contest 5 years ago to remake samsung single.
Channeling Lyle Mays…
For sure!
group alphaville ,group german
Oh wow, I didn’t know Alphaville was German group. Thanks for the info!
