THE OVEREXCITED LOVE SONG PLEASE
Yeahhh
Yes pleeeeeaaase
Ohh, yes please!! 🙏
That’s one of my favorites and I’m still annoyed it’s not an official release
Oh yes, that one too is great
You don't know how much i wanted this song to come out Simon, this is my all time favorite of yours and im glad you even took the time to upgrade it even more.
Keep going and dropping fire songs, you are inspiring me and many others to create music ❤️
PD: loving the mullet and mostache, i didn't think It was possible for you to get more handsome but damn 😂
thank you so much!!! and i will continue!! next year is gonna be awesome!!!
You KILLED this Simon. Everything you have done with this new version is straight up amazing! Thank you for allowing us to see the process on this new version too!!
thanks anas!!! 🫶
@@MusicbyBlanks ❤❤❤❤
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SONG FOREVER, THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤️❤️❤️
NO WORRIES THANKS FOR STICKING AROUND SO LONG HAHA
OF COURSE
First i thought: why would you change a perfect song… then i watched the video and fell in love a second time
mission achieved!!
I can't believe we finally have this???? After years of BEGGING. thank you Simon. I can't wait for the new write together sessions.
I loved that video! It's simply Simon figuring out what he did and how he did this song. And also trying to find the words to describe the process. 😂😂😂
I was expecting this song for so long!!!! It's incredible!!!!
hahaha yeah that's basically the video haha
we can finally stop going to the youtube video to listen to this song now. what a victory.
WHAT a victory
I REALLY NEED THE OVEREXCITED SONG!
I love how you discretely roast yourself in the edit
it's very confronting to watch yourself for hours when editing. you start judging your every move
@@MusicbyBlanks haha i know the feeling. But to include that self criticism in the video really adds a fun dimension!
i love the whole ep!! it's kinda coming of age songs so it reflects a lot of worries and dreams and sorrows and hopes and motivations
and im happy to be able listen it on repeat so thank you 💕
I dig the new bass.
Also, when you released that video for the first time, I really liked it so I learned how to play it by ear and what I could see in that video. I recorded a cover and I've recently lost it
love the stache and the song slay
in all seriousness thank you for putting this out!!!! one of my faves we've ever made together!
Literally the best song this month. Killed it as always Simon!
I LOVE THESE VIDEOS SO MUCH, THANK YUOUOUOUOU
The MV is amazin
Love it!
Let’s go!!! Can’t believe you actually released it.
i really love this song
I love this song so much. By far my fvorite you've ever done. So excited that its going to be released
it's already out there!!!
I love the breakdown. Thanks for releasing it!!
Glad you liked it!
loved to see the process of production behind the scenes !! so happy to know that the song is released but it was worth waiting for the new added little prod elements !
thank you so much!!
im so proud of where we've come. I always loved how much you let us see the process and help write a song etc etc. and to see that this didn't change and now you're even writing an album with your community (i kinda wanna say family) is just so incredibly beautiful and I couldn't be more grateful to be part of this for such a long time 🤍 911 is only the start for something INSANELY BIG 🥰 thank you for being u n not changing yourself for fame or all these other factors that artists usually fall through🫂
Want to go to 7 continents in 7 weeks to write 7 songs?
dang you stopped showing up on my feed but damn you look good as hell! handsome im jealous lol. Im back to watching your videos!
Makes my day!
Just so you know.. it was the first video of you that popped on my youtube 2 years ago.. nd since then I'm here..the vibes are still crazy 🥰🤩
thanks for sticking around!! next year bout to be crazy
love u blanks
❤️
yeaaahhhh❤
we waited for SO long BUUUT IT WAS SO WORTH THE WAIT!!!
Finally!!! I have been waiting for this song to release. Life long fan 🎉
thank you so much!! hope you love it!!
Can't wait! :)
this song has been my ringtone for so long
I 100% agree that the drumfill i pretty mad. I just noticed that this isn't actually the first time you've used it. It's also in What You Do To Me (at 2:18 for specifict). But still, i think this song is better on so many aspects. Keep it up Blanks!
Ah yes it is so similar I only just heard! But the toms in this one make it much better haha
Hell yeah finally
i'm coming to your concert in italy... can't wait to see you!
awesome!!!
feels like 2021 again!!
i wouldn’t describe the drums as beefy or thicc.. more like DAD drums 🤠😎
YYYAAAAASSSS SIMON FINALLY dank je wel man!!
most musician thing ever. "not like 'lalalala' but like 'dudududuudsh'"
And I'm here still waiting for the roadtrip happy spring vibe song from March 2020 😭😭
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SOOOOO LOOOONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😭😭😭
AND NOW IT'S OUTTTTT
FINALLY!
fr finally!!!! i have been waiting for this ever since the video, I never stopped thinking about it
me neither (involuntarily)
@@MusicbyBlanks Hahahah yes that would be our fault
i love how u wrote 11 minutes because in singapore the ambulance has to reach you by 11 minutes!
from now on i'm gonna say this is the reason i went with 11 minutes!
Please release the roadtrip songggggg
I saw it was on there and I was so damn excited
🙌🙌🙌
WE DID IT!!!! Finally!
THANK YOU SIMON I'VE WAITED FOR SOOOOOO LONG😭♥️ lov u man! Thanks for hearing us😂
More to come!
Nice! But im still waiting for the roadtrip song
OVEREXCITED LOVE SONG NEXT PLEASE
Wait hold on so you layer multiple kick and snare samples to get a fuller sound ?
So happy the song is out, I vibed to it with my sister this morning ❤️
yeah!! i layer most of my sounds! i always try to beef up sounds by combining different ones that have different qualities. for example, a juno pad might be very warm and lushy but lack some attack and punch, so i combine it with another pad that has more of that quality. together it will sound much better!!
@@MusicbyBlanks omg I never thought about doing that, I'll definitely try it out 😄
Great moustache and great song
great comment
FINALLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
I got a feeling he has a way with words
he has
the commentary 😭😂
I honestly prefer the version from the original video, I think that version flows better, hopefully you release that version as well please 🙏
Probably now it's time to release the roadtrip song too...
Still offended by the “where’s the taste” >:( /j
i didn't reuse that clip in this edit on purpose 💀
I can’t use the words to describe how much I love this song on this very pleasantly family friendly global site called UA-cam 😂 it’s really cool!!
hahahahahahah 🙏
With your last couple songs you even let my mom be fan off you😅klijn vraagje nog sinds mijn moeder nu ook fan is kan ik haar overhalen om naar een concert van je te gaan ga je in eerst volgende tour ook naar Nederland? Zo ja waar en zijn er nog kaartjes?❤
Please make a vidéo about how you do the drums. I’M using Logic Pro x’s Drummer but I’M not really convinced about it. Please !!
Love from 🇫🇷
The distorted drums make this song for me
same
Your mustache is just as great as this song
priorities 🙏
Hands down my favourite song because it could lowkey be about my life - I fell in love with my best friend and we've been dating for a year now
Edit: OKAY THE ELEVEN MINUTES LYRIC CHANGE IS INSANEEE
yeahhhh congrats!!! and thank you!!!
FINALLYYYYYYY AFTER 2 YEARS WE HAVE DONE IT!🎉🎉🎉
you guys have done it
blanks you gotta do a 1 hour song on dominic fike. you choose the song but it has to be from dominic fike
I really thought it was going to be called FALLING since that's how you were naming songs when you wrote it!
yeah i changed the title so many times but felt like this one was the most fitting
Hey man, great song and video, what plugin do you use for recording guitar?
i have a kemper set up in my studio! i record all my guitars through that
❤🔙🔥🔥
Please release the one you did with san holo (I don't wanna write happy songs anymore) please please please 🙏🥺🥺🥺
Mustache is looking great apparently
i like your moustache ig
It's so funny how he hated it at first, but AMAZING SONG THO I'm happy I was a part of choosing guitar !!!!2!!!!
i did not HATE it but i disliked it haha! all because of a few verse lyrics 🤦♂️
@@MusicbyBlanks Still, one of my best songs ever ❤❤
I love your mustache.
The song is great too.
what a nice comment
I legitimately read it as "9/11 love song" for a second
yeahh i just changed the title this makes more sense i think
Whyyyy is there a Bass amp on the lead vocal??!!
dude don't ask me hahahah! two years ago i did all this stuff on vocals to make it sound bigger, thicker, louder, whatever. i don't use the bass amp anymore, but it did add some nice low mid to the vocal and some high end. but i've found better ways to do that now haha
OVEREXCITED LOVE SONG NEXTS!!!!!! BUT DONT CHANGE ANYTHING FROM THE ORIGINAL
there was this plugin that turned the guitar riff into atmosphere instantly and you never revealed which plugin it was. so, please let us know.
I showed it in my previous video! It's called Crystallizer by Soundtoys!
Wait,i just found out his name is simon WHAT LIKE WAHTS,UR A SIMON ngl u look more like a blanks
Someone music mixe editor name
Ahh wait !!! The Americans will love this song very much 💀💀
Hold up 💀
Oof 💀
i changed the title a bit, this should be clearer 💀
WHERE IS THE ROADTRIP SONG??????????????????
Thats what i love about you next?
working on that one!! that one feels so good!!!
9/11 song?
You look Australian these days
i'm taking that as a compliment
@@MusicbyBlanks you’d fit in with the blokes from sticky fingers 😂
Are you trying to look like Theo Von?
lol i just googled him and NO
first 🤪
Now I need to know who you are
The explanation lol
