    what he says at 2:00 is the reason why I love this album and chinatown most of all so effing much.
    "what if the deepest expression of [love] is 'yeah, i'll take your sadness... i'll take it'?"

    The most amazing thing about every Bleachers song is it somehow sounds like an old favorite even the first time I hear it. Jack captures nostalgia so well. ❤️

    my favorite parts
    - it’s a car song
    - how it evolved from a simple ballad to a dense immersive track
    - the delicate chime and piano in the background
    - evan smith creating the riff that not only fits in the song perfectly, but also perfectly conveys the yearning emotion of the song
    - the demo making me hope for a studio recorded acoustic version of this song 🙏

    I'm so glad I found these videos. They have taught me more about music process and production than I ever knew there was to learn. I have a whole new apreciation for Bleachers' art and what goes into bringing it from an idea ringing through the mind to these masterpieces that we can all love and feel. It fascinates me every time he shares his creative process with his fans. And I guess I'm not the only one who is won over by that smooth voice, those immense ideas, hypnotic sounds, powerful feelings and mesmerizing big brown eyes. I am so grateful I discovered Jack Antonoff's work.
    On a side note, the first time I watched the video to Chinatown I wasn't paying attention to the title and thought "How sweet! Is that his dad playing music with him?" Then I realized it was The Boss. Sorry Bruce!

    i love the wilting flowers. listening to him break down his music sometimes reminds me of the first time i watched love and mercy (the biopic about the beach boys but really brian wilson) and saw the scene of them in the studio using sound in the most creative and literally earth-shattering ways.

  • @Janeil88

    This song will forever have a special place in my heart as I was listening to it on repeat while I was hanging out with a girl I was falling in love with. We eventually got together then broke up but this song will always remind me of that memory with her and I'll never forget it.

    I want a video like this for every single song Jack has ever produced, because I hear so many of his songs and think "there's SO much happening here, I want a beat by beat breakdown of how this came together". this was the perfect example and oh man... those strings at the end. I love Jack being so frenetic the entire video and explaining his whole mad genius way of making music and then saying, in the most offhand way, "what if you hurt me?" and just shrugging it off. I feel like that's the whole album right there.

    I feel free while listening to this song. Hair in the wind, with no worries just a peaceful bliss. I love this song, and the beat is so beautiful. Jack Antonoff voice is so dark and mysterious, it's a cool song. He has a beautiful personality and shyness about him, having Bruce Springsteen on the song is so awesome. Thanks for the instrumental version also.
