'SMITHEREENS' album out now: joji.lnk.to/SMITHEREENS Official 'SMITHEREENS' merch: joji.lnk.to/officialstore / chloeburbank Shot by Marshmallow Tartz Edited by Miles Trahan double happiness coming soon
Where do you draw the line than? Because this is sampling, not stealing necessarily. He made something new with existing material from another artist, albeit simple. Obligatory "just curious what you think man" sentence.
People need to start acknowledging joji's early music, before George was still not Joji yet but experimenting with his love for music, where he started to grow apart from his comedy, what started it all. Songs like You Suck Charlie, Thom, Rain On Me, etc, all of them deserve the same love that his current stuff gets. I honestly wish Joji kept the lo-fi production instead of going into a more mainstream pop, but it is what it is, I love the guy and love his music.
His old production style (this shit) could never be topped in my mind. I don't know if he still produces his beats, but everything sounds too polished. Too much like what I hear everywhere, on every radio station, on every TV show. This version of George's music was distinguishable, and Thom + Medicine were what sucked me in when I found him in 2015. It's depressing now.
@@Akira-ho9mf It's all here on CZcams still, even the stuff from 2015. He used to upload the music to a channel "anna gold", if you can't find the channel or the two songs uploaded there, try simply searching; "Chloe Burbank Vol 1". I think it was his first attempt at releasing an album, but I'll be god damned if the music isn't 11 times better than it is now. Anything up until his "In Tongues" EP is considered godlike imo. It's just different, style, and production. I personally enjoy "Thom"', "Plastic Taste" "Besidju", "Worldstar Money", "you suck charlie", "Unsaved Info", "They don't Understand", I could go on and on really. At the time, the music was REAL FUCKING GOOD. Since then, not only has Joji not been able to match that caliber, but nobody else has either. It's sad. This shit is like soul music to me now, I could damn near cry listening to any of them. More over the fact that Joji is passed a lot of things in his career, and that my favorite genre of his music is basically over. But hey, I don't have a choice but to not give a shit. I also LOVED his trap music. "Hood Rich" with Nick Colleti and Getter is an absolute BANGER. And I consider "Bitter Fuck" a trap song too, it sounds pretty trappy. That's from the "In Tongues" EP though. Which also had "Rain on Me", which was ORIGINALLY a 2014 track produced BEFORE Chloe Burbank even dropped. So it was probably a throwaway from that album. You can actually find a 7 second DEMO of the song with different lyrics on Joji's old Vine, and surprisingly, I almost like that version more. Low-Fi Joji has peaked imo, and I will gladly eat my words if proven wrong, but I fear that's not the case.
hey guys, im very happy to know many of you are still listening to music george made in the early burbank era days! i still listen to these songs occasionally and i cannot describe how nostalgic i feel. hope everyone and each of you are doing well.
funkystyle Because they brought the right to the song, they don’t need to credit them, like how daft punk never credited the sample for robot rock, that’s how sampling work
soli wray of course, he won't mix both his joji and FF personality. theyre very different and joji is meant for his serious stuff while FF is the opposite
God, the production value on this if it was a fan video though, one hell of a fan. But 88 rising is a media company, if it isn't clear from the rest of the channel.
This song reminds me of my past where I failed my exams and I had to repeat the year and I felt really left out by my friends, honestly very sad vibe and I used to repeat this song till I cry my self to sleep.
my best friend was the one who introduced me to joji and this was his favorite song. he passed away yesterday and i keep playing this on repeat. i'm so sorry i wasn't there for you when you were always there for me. thank you for being part of my life, and i hope you can keep listening to joji wherever you are
the memories this brings back are too heavy and nearly bring me to tears. This song just illustrates how much things have changed around me and personally in only about 4 years. I can’t fucking believe it’s already 2021.... This song will prolly stay with me for the rest of my life.
this music is showing that we getting older and the process it self is the music and i'm very glad that i'm not alone who always getting nostalgic while hearing this track
I relate 100%. It’s so weird man. I discovered Filthy Frank/Joji like 2 months before he quit youtube. I fell in love with all his music around that time and there was so much going on in life during that time period. I have nothing but happy/nostalgic memories whenever I listen to Joji.
hits REAL hard sometimes, man... also pretty weird trying to explain like you did to people because somehow I always end up feeling like shit for perceiving stuff in that way
im not sure if it was intended or not, but george not being in this video makes it hit even harder. This song feel like being alone. Watching friends having fun from afar. You are aware of the time passing in front of you. Something just out of reach, something you cannot 'pick up'
Can't believe how much Joji has come. Dude I'll miss the FilthyFrank side of him but glad he's really trying to step up in his career and trying to do other things. I can't wait till he blows up super big. You can tell he's worked hard lately.
Cant believe they didnt credit her... Like ffs people telling the lyrics are good and joji is basically god but that's completely untrue.... IT'S DAUGHTER FFS ELENA TONRA
who else be missing this joji? He's greater than ever before, each song he launches is better than the previous one but these old ones, they just hit different
John Dela Cruz oh and wow you made fun of someone just because they are different!? Wow you must still think it Soo cool. And look what happened you got your @$$ kicked from another person? Wow so impresive!!! 😒
This song captures a feeling I can't describe. Like the warm nostalgia of bittersweet memories flooding before your eyes as you accept your death with peace.
HyperionNyx bruh you are just so damn stupid. Restraining a song to drug use is just dumb. As someone who used to do drugs, i can surely admit this would me more enjoyable under the effect of drugs, but that doesnt mean it's made *for that* .
This song helped me through my deep depression.. Thanks Joji and 88 rising. You don’t know how much you helped people through the music that y’all bring in my life. ❤️🔥
Yes it is. Remember when there was the rappers react video and the guy behind the camera goes, "Oh, I manage him." to Ghostface Killah? 88Rising is a label as well. They do everything.
IshDat1KiD I know it sounded like you were using the fact they manage rich chigga as support for showing that 88rising is a record label, I was just stating that record labels and managers aren't the same thing
I think the meaning of this song is that the girls are having fun to cure the depression they are going through. Partying, alcohol and designer clothes as the medicine to be the person who people like, instead of the person they like to be. The video represents the image of how they show to be, the music represents the unconscious voices in their head. The lesson being: Even though it may seem like some people are having it better than you do. You never know what they are really going through. So appreciate the things you have instead of seeking for more. Btw, I know it's a remix so it wasn't intended to have a meaning like this. But music is the same as art, it can have different meanings.
+John Doe Damn this FilthyFrank...I'm a fucking metalhead who adores Multiple Genres of Heavy metal with Lyrical themes of Destruction,Murder,Chaos,Burning Churches,Punching Priests,Praising Satan...But this remix of Daughter's "Medicine" turned my Nihilistic Rage and Hate into Ice Cream and fat Cuddly cats. Amazing that this came from the mind of the person who created the greatest, Morbid internet character of all time.
chicken voyage nah he's not poetic just showing how they feel inside that's why that video translates that way to them. I just saw people living life and having fun but they're unfortunately probably depressed so that's what he/she picked up from the video
We're not "internet police", we are just saying that this is not much of progress as of this moment as he has made a lot more songs after this, and this single song made 5 years ago has not made any progress for his music as of this year as this track is nothing like the music he has made recently.
An alternative to the song: it's speaking towards the listener to keep going on with their life, instead of thinking about committing suicide. "Don't be what you want to" this is her telling you don't focus on being dead. "Warm heart" just carry on with a warm heart. "Pick it up" can be a double entendre to pick up your "medicine", which can be anything that is helping you with your mental state, and sounds like a motivating line to keep going on with your life. (Based on the pink 8-bit cover, I could see symbolism. You may view it as you picking up the "controller", which is you, and begin a fresh start with your new life, after dying bitter and alone from your past one.) The music video can be an inspiration for you to go out and have a good time with people that love and care for you.
I thought the original was talking a drug abuse saying that you can become sober and live your life while joji's song is saying that some people needs the medicine to be who they want to be.
I feel like people arguing that the video doesn't fit the music are really projecting their own ideals and visions onto the sound. The song is tranquil, nostalgic and beautiful; the video shows a kind of nostalgic, tranquil beauty as well - albeit one that most of us aren't familiar with. Nevertheless the video is so well shot that I feel instantly at home watching this video.
There might be another element..the lyrics. Quite interesting actually. There are chosen words and these words are repeated many times. Quite conspicuous.
2015, his friends leaked some tracks and the chans spread them, he got embarrased, that's why he never remastered the entire thing, I believe he browsed the chans and the comments on the mixtape got to him, I was like 19 when this dropped and it was the perfect time, leaving the edgy memelord weaboo misandric days behind and enjoying life a lil bit more like he did, you can always get drunk and rewatch the vids and the songs tho
I remember listening to this on loop on Soundcloud about half a decade ago when joji still went by a different name and I felt certain that he'd be an amazing music artist.
Attempt 試み Filthy Frank is just a character created to pick on every kind of people and an excuse to do weird shit though, George is probably the total opposite of Filtht Frank.
I think this song implicates the struggle that Joji's having with making music. 'Don't be, what you want' to is brilliant. All the Filthy Frank and Pink Guy stuff that he made just to boost his actual music actually getting so much more attention that the stuff he'd actually like to make, the music he produces behind the name 'Joji'. I hope more people actually find _him_.
actually this song is from daughter & its basically that with a second chance in life we can be who we want, despite any obstacle from the past we can get to the place in life that we so desperate crave
Does anyone remember when this song came out and everyone was trying to read into the lyrics super hard? "Omg guys, he said "don't be what you want to"!!!! this means that the fans are holding him back!!!"
First heard this 4-5 years ago as a franku fan and Joji soon became my one of favourite artists ever which he still is to this day. I'm happy he was able to evolve musically so well. NECTAR is looking to be amazing! But it's always nice to return to these old bangers
I feel this song is more than enough, Joji makes it deeper and more thorough through the melody that makes me go back to 2010 - 2017 where between Joji and the Pink Guy are still in one eye and fight for Joji's name with difficulty. why time flies so fast, i miss everything. love you George!
"That jijo dude is good." - my mom

For anybody curious, the song is sampled from Medicine by Daughter
Thank you. You're doing the Lord's work.
Andy Wentzel lord chin chin's work to be precise.
Thanks man
Aye daughter's a great artist to sample, My most popular song samples home. Love this
Where do you draw the line than? Because this is sampling, not stealing necessarily. He made something new with existing material from another artist, albeit simple. Obligatory "just curious what you think man" sentence.

happy seeing you here haha been years listening to this
It cures our mental illnesses

not rly different from the original. basically he should have given credit to the og one
this should be labeled as a remix
This for who doesnt know the real song
"Daughter - Medicine"

I remember listening to this on SoundCloud like 5 years ago when Filthy Frank was still big and no one knew about joji yet
same. summer 2016 :,(
2015, his friends leaked some tracks and the chans spread them, he got embarrased, that's why he never remastered the entire thing, I believe he browsed the chans and the comments on the mixtape got to him, I was like 19 when this dropped and it was the perfect time, leaving the edgy memelord weaboo misandric days behind and enjoying life a lil bit more like he did, you can always get drunk and rewatch the vids and the songs tho
I love the song and also the vibe this song has
George Miller is talented af.
J Chuck yess
Alright I feel stupid but is George Miller an alias for joji?
@@kjsciacca jojo is George miller
@@jchuck1737 ok thanks. He’s a great director
I can't believe filthy Frank made this. We talking about the guy who has taken a ramen bath and wears a pink morph suit... But I love it.
It was made years ago but yes
And now he is dead joji killed him
This is a song originally made by daughter
I remember listening to this on loop on Soundcloud about half a decade ago when joji still went by a different name and I felt certain that he'd be an amazing music artist.
Medicine by Daughter is my go to depression song and hearing this with joji makes me happy
Before it blows up
ACEE Means Jorge I doubt it
ACEE Means Jorge its allready pretty big this is filthy franks music look up his channel
ACEE Means Jorge this already blew up a long time ago
Christopher Edmondson Fr. Pink season is doing good. Everyone's going to hop on the bandwagon, just watch.
ACEE Means Jorge this song is old lol...
so beautiful
I love the use of Daughter's song Medicine😩💕
Used to play this otw to school in 2017 😢
2017-2018 its the 90s of generation Z
Keep in mind this is the same dude who ate cake made out of vomit, hair etc.
Attempt 試み Filthy Frank is just a character created to pick on every kind of people and an excuse to do weird shit though, George is probably the total opposite of Filtht Frank.
He is. Try and find his jojivlogs if they're still up. I used to find them on archives.
Schamy Millon not to sound rude but you're telling me something i already know. no matter what joji still ate the cake
Attempt 試み but it's just for pure entertainement purposes
i think ur missing his point, what he is saying is he's in disbelief that this man did all of these things
this video was pretty cool, felt like I got a glimpse into another life
highvoltage47 yea tru
wow it’s 2023 now and I’m still loving it
Can't believe its been 6 years since I first heard this song. Been through alot since then, thank you.
6?
this song is honestly so beautiful
I think this song implicates the struggle that Joji's having with making music. 'Don't be, what you want' to is brilliant. All the Filthy Frank and Pink Guy stuff that he made just to boost his actual music actually getting so much more attention that the stuff he'd actually like to make, the music he produces behind the name 'Joji'. I hope more people actually find _him_.
actually this song is from daughter & its basically that with a second chance in life we can be who we want, despite any obstacle from the past we can get to the place in life that we so desperate crave
I know it is, I've heard it numerous times, but you can notice how Joji did edited the lyrics to say that
Interesting Minds: Episode 10, The Mind of a Minecraft PvPer
*Patrip* Well played, well played.
EedeePvP it says do be what you want to be
love this so much
I love lofi joji the most
joji: georgie but with a japanese accent
no shit
It just means George in Japanese yeah we get it
Hiya, Joji 🤡
@@gibbies8629 lmfao i didn't know that wtf
joji names has a meaning, joji means farmer. but this joji is the depression farmer.
Ecstatic that Joji is getting so much exposure right now. He makes me laugh and I love his music. So much creativity in one human being.
song is a real blessing
Honestly one of the most beautiful songs ever!!!!
If anyone cares, the sample's from daughter - medicine
No wonder it sounds so familiar!
Rurouni Flojo im care enough
Rurouni Flojo
actually i got here from daughter...
known her songs for 5 years.
I love the original song and i was so shook when I heard this
I'm really glad Joji Music is still going
Still a banger til this day fr
i just realised how much of a 2012 era "try not to cry" comic video vibe this song has
It’s been so long since I’ve been just happy.
Omg yes!! At last a music video for this masterpiece
Love this song
Thank you for uploading this again
Does anyone remember when this song came out and everyone was trying to read into the lyrics super hard?
"Omg guys, he said "don't be what you want to"!!!! this means that the fans are holding him back!!!"
oh my God whis is this soooo good..
Fajrianhz i
brings me back mannn
Still amazing a feeling (this songs)
The sample is from Medicine by Daughter just in case anyone doesn't know and is interested :P
First heard this 4-5 years ago as a franku fan and Joji soon became my one of favourite artists ever which he still is to this day. I'm happy he was able to evolve musically so well. NECTAR is looking to be amazing! But it's always nice to return to these old bangers
Straight talent. Love joji
gold old days
Very clean
I feel this song is more than enough, Joji makes it deeper and more thorough through the melody that makes me go back to 2010 - 2017 where between Joji and the Pink Guy are still in one eye and fight for Joji's name with difficulty. why time flies so fast, i miss everything. love you George!
chills...
this song is the most bittersweet thing ive ever listened to
loved the video! suits the song perfect! look at beauty of the video people. Not necessary that a melancholic song has to have a dull video
Aditya A dull?!Smh
WHY ISNT THIS ON SPOTIFY
Probably because it's a remix :(
*Probably*
Maybe uncleared samples?? idk for sure though
Daughter - Medicine
Cause this is good
It's on freemusic tho
best joji song by far so far still i swear
this is my one of my favourite joji songs
I really wish this was on spotify so I can add it to my daily
Dude I fucking miss this guy 💔
I’ve been trying to find this song again for years I’m glad to be back fr
This song really helped me a lot.
The original song is super sad its called medicine by daughter but he takes it and flips it makes it chill
almost 8 years ago. still bangin'
Really beautiful! Wish it was longer!
every single time i listen to this, it hits diffrent
