    17:40 “work hard on every moment of every song” - honestly that perfectly describes exactly what i love about their music; there’s never a dull moment

    I am an old guy and my kids turned me on to this music...not an easy task as I don't normally like new music. These guys are true, talented musicians (something that seems kinda lost today). I love the music, and the passion that is involved in making it is so inspiring. Keep up the good work.

      It’s not lost, you just need to stop looking at pop stars for it. Look at the amazing producers behind those pop stars. Or artists like Jon Bellion or Ronnie Radke from falling in reverse. Or the lead singer of bear tooth who writes, records, mixes and masters every record. Talented musicians aren’t lost, in fact with artists like polyphia and dance Gavin dance it’s clear there are better musicians alive today than ever in history, you just don’t take the time to find them.

    @fletchercobb4398 Před 7 měsíci

    An interesting idea for the instrumorphing, doing a fourier transform could convert it into component sine waves that could be interpolated between (you'd have to interpolate the phase and amplitude rather than the real and imaginary parts or else it would just be fading). There's a lot of messy stuff with applying fourier transforms to audio, but most of it has been figured out by audio compression people.

    lyrics: My grandpa fought in World War II
    He was such a noble dude
    I can't even finish school
    Missed my mom, and left too soon
    His dad was a fireman
    Who fought fires so violent
    I think I bored my therapist
    While playing him my violin
    that's so insane
    (Oh, my God) that's such a shame
    Next to them, my shit don't feel so grand
    But I can't help myself from feeling bad
    I kinda feel like two things can be sad (one, two, three, four)
    The world's smallest violin
    Really needs an audience
    So if I do not find somebody soon (that's right, that's right)
    I'll blow up into smithereens
    And spew my tiny symphony
    Just let me play my violin for you, you, you, you
    My grandpa fought in World War II
    And he was such a noble dude
    Man, I feel like such a fool
    I got so much left to prove
    All my friends have vaping friends
    They're so good at making friеnds
    I'm so scared of caving in
    Is that entertaining yеt?
    that's so insane
    (Oh, my God) that's such a shame
    Next to them, my shit don't feel so grand
    But I can't help myself from feeling bad
    I kinda feel like two things can be sad (one, two, three, four)
    The world's smallest violin
    Really needs an audience
    So if I do not find somebody soon (that's right, that's right)
    I'll blow up into smithereens
    And spew my tiny symphony
    Just let me play my violin for you, you, you, you
    Somewhere in the universe
    Somewhere someone's got it worse
    Wish that made it easier
    Wish I didn't feel the hurt
    The world's smallest violin
    Really needs an audience
    So if I do not find somebody soon
    I'll blow up into smithereens
    And spew my tiny symphony
    All up and down a city street
    While tryna put my mind at ease
    Like finishing this melody
    This feels like a necessity
    So this could be the death of me
    Or maybe just a better me
    Now, come in with the timpanis
    And take a shot of Hennessy
    I know I'm not there mentally
    But you could be the remedy
    So let me play my violin for you
