Short: Digital Detox

Yeah I think it did have sprinkles on it 🙂

JustSomeJK

Oh yeah, I know which one you’re referring to…he added sprinkles to the top before baking it, right?! Yeah, I’d like to try that one!! Not sure if it’s in his book, I’ll have to look.

Melissa Rogers

Sounds yummy 😋 I guess there's quite a lot of ingredients in his book, that we don't have here, especially when it comes to those certain cake mixes etc😅 The one cake that had ice cream in the dough was something I have never heard of, would like to try it 😁

JustSomeJK

So far, only once…there’s a strawberry cookie, I think it’s made with cake mix. Turned out soft and tasted good. 😁

Melissa Rogers

Have u baked anything yet from the book? And yeah I like the way he says those ingredients too, funny 😁

JustSomeJK

He’s also on “AdTube”…um, I mean, YouTube. He posts Shorts on there and has a few (very few) longer videos. I bought his book: “Baking Yesteryear”. Yes, he is quite thin…but at least he does eat!! Unlike someone else…I don’t want to sound negative towards her…just watching her, breaks my heart. I love Dylan though…he’s f*cking hilarious!! “Eggies”, “cimmonim”, “moo juice”, “floofers/floof powder/floof soda”, etc.!! All the while he’s yelling 😆😜😆😜!!

Melissa Rogers

Can't stop listening to this one, it's so pure! I don't see even semi-awkwardness.. if anything, it's charming. I like the most when people act naturally, sort of listening to your body, like when you adjust yourself on a chair so it's comfortable. I've heard some musicians say that an instrument can give that comfort. At least for me, one of your biggest advantages is your expressions (and overall authenticity), how they reflect true feelings, I think it creates trust or something. I feel like in the world of showbiz, it's often some sort of created persona, which is partly why I'm not much drawn to it. I think someone like Billie Eilish is completely natural as well, and maybe that's what's giving her that 'presence'. Love these clips, and it's kind of badass to go against TikTok's "makes coffee while singing," that always seemed so random and unrelated to music - distracting from it

Ahh, simpler times. Those were good times. This was really nice, Joel. Even if it sounded like a digital music track ...hope I'm wrong. The simple guitar melody is really nice. It felt really good. I got nothing negative to say. You are so really talented and this is just another affirmation, for me. Thank you, I'm just sad I didn't know until now. I really enjoy your music, and your voice.✌️✌️✌️❤️❤️✌️😂😂😂

Gayle

I'm avoiding downloading TikTok as long as I can, since I don't want Chinese people spying on me (not that I would have anything interesting for them to spy on 😂, but still..). And I don't have time to follow every social media either 😅 So I hope that Roomie will upload those short videos in Patreon too in the future 🙂 I actually have seen B Dylan Hollis' stuff on Facebook and he's hilarious and I always feel like I would like to try all those baking recipes 😂 He also plays accordion and piano so every now and then he has played some music too 🙂 He is just a bit worryingly skinny and I always wonder how the heck he can eat all those pastries and not gain weight... But very entertaining and slightly ADHD type of baking content 😁

JustSomeJK

Nice😎👍

Sofie G

I noticed the similarity when writing haha! So I guess yeah!

Joel Berghult

Thanks ❤️ The Vaultboy songwriting series was super cool, I’m interested in trying the daily songs thing - I guess this is a trial of that :)

Joel Berghult

I’ve already downloaded that pesky app because of Rami. Now, I keep getting notifications from people who I don’t know…just because I liked their posts. Pain in the a**!! On the upside, I found a guy from Bermuda, who makes hilarious videos while baking old fashioned recipes. You should check him out: B Dylan Hollis 😁

Melissa Rogers

Oh my god, Joel and @ExpiredCoupon!! You two are hilarious!! No, you haven’t failed us, @Roomie!! You do have mad singing skills…you prove it each time you open your mouth!! However, as far as TikTok goes, she is right…next time, maybe make yourself a coffee or attempt to cook something for yourself. 😆😆😜😜 (Not trying to be bossy. Is joke!! Please no keel. 🙏🏻🙏🏻)

Melissa Rogers

🤩! i love song writing on tiktok if it feels genuine & done right. vaultboy’s write a song each day for 30 days from comment inspiration- was one i enjoyed a lot. id love to see you preview songs or ideas on tiktok too & also post them as shorts on yt! even your singing practice techniques, warm ups, covers, producing, could be fun in both short & longer formats. i like any opportunity to hear your singing. i posted a clip of u singing in swedish (from swedish week) on midsommer - :) i love it- more please! love your music and looking forward to the “it was worth it” final mix so much.

xtina 🖤

Not awkward at all! I love it 😍 I missed this kind of content too, I swear I could watch you mess around and write/make music all day. Thank you for sharing, Joel. ❤️

Leah Miranda

Also, your falsetto is continuing to improve. 😁 No, I’m not just saying these things because I think it’s what you want to hear. I’m saying these things because I truly do enjoy hearing you sing. It’s not just a Simp thing.

Melissa Rogers

Btw, you actually come across as very sincere in this clip. Really fits the tone of the song.

Dorie

Its good to see you going back to experimenting and singing! You appear much more at ease with yourself and not at all awkward. But I know exactly what you mean, when seeing all this „fake“ videos on tik tok it might feel awkward to upload something that is more real. I hope you just go for it and hopefully more of this as well in the future.

Lebuwi

I think it's a great idea to start exploring / experimenting with short form videos. When you find the sweet spot of what you wanna do, you can just make these and upload them to multiple platforms at the same time. Then you can even link them back to your long form videos on YT. Being in Sweden seems to make you feel more at ease idk. You look relaxed, semi-awkward, but relaxed hehe

Bua (mintteafortwo)

Is that... A Taylor Swift nod?

Sofie G

This is great, not awkward. It allows for people to sit back and take in the lyrics and vocals, would definitely like to see more of this short form content if you’re comfortable with it because it’s so easy to digest! 😊

Jen 🦙

Not yet haha! YouTube is still home

Joel Berghult

I love watching and listening to you sing, Joel!! Please sing more in your videos…even if it’s just for a few seconds with your piano. 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Your singing is so beautiful and pleasant.

Melissa Rogers

Awesome vibes from this song!!💖 I really enjoyed the lyrics and the nostalgia from it👍😊

Bookdragon 43

Have i gotta go on tiktok now to keep up with you? Noooooo. Super cute little song x

Snoodle

Just vertical short form videos, I’m old and stubborn about it still 😅

Adina

If people on tiktok find all those scripted and super edited videos to be natural and spontaneus then this would be like your best friend literally singing in front of you! And I have a feeling something with a point line "digital detox" could go viral 😆

Mona

Might feel awkward to you, but I think it comes off really natural to the viewer. I like the authenticity and genuine nature of it all. Great lyrics.

Courtney Walker

I like the rawness of recording live for everyone to see. The song and lyrics gives me soft, nostalgic memories and vibes.

♠️ Aslyn Jobry ♠️

Sweet song. I think you cracked the code. If standing there just singing feels awkward, maybe that’s why you need to make coffee while you’re doing it. 😆

Dorie

Awkward? Naaah come on! 🤍🤣

Jess Haggstron

I KNOW! I think I haven’t been singing on camera normally in a while

Joel Berghult

Aubrey Danielle

When you say format, what do you mean?

Joel Berghult

Interesting

Joel Berghult

I don't find this awkward - just refreshing and authentic. The song is nostalgic and touching. I don't Tik the Tok because it always seems fake to me but this is lovely and real.

Cas

I think these short form vids are perfect for the music making stuff. I’d be more inclined to watch it in small chunks like this rather in one long video, easier for my non-musician brain to keep up with 🤣

Becky Lorion

Still can’t get accustomed with this format, but you do sound good 😊

Adina

I’ve failed you

Joel Berghult

Umm. Excuse me. Sir? Sir. If this is a TikTok, aren’t you supposed to be shocking a friend with your mad skills while sitting in the car, or pouring coffee?? While singing, you gotta be doing a totally random activity, like shaving your legs or trying to flip an omelette— it’s TikTok law or something.

Expired Coupon

No awkwardness to be found. Experimentation by definition isn't clean cut anyways. It's fun, and lyrically on the nose (at least for me right now).

Amanda-Leigh

Nice 🙂

JustSomeJK

Haha they will be only Patreon for now!

Joel Berghult

Those lyrics were really heartwarming and relatable (at least to millennials). It wasn't awkward and I'm sure it feels less awkward after a while for u too. I hope u upload these to Patreon too... Or else I might have to get TikTok too 😅

JustSomeJK

Ah okay understandable.

Naomiskyyy

Nah just slipping today

Joel Berghult

I like this experiment but are you growing a mustache again? Lol.

Naomiskyyy

Good way to practice! :D

Shauna

Hehe thanks :) I’mma try to do a bunch of them, the important part is recording songs but I thought I’d make these too hehe

Joel Berghult

I honestly didn’t find this awkward. I mean you can see you are experimenting. It’s fun
