Song - "We Became Buzzfeeds"
Added 2023-12-13 17:23:32 +0000 UTCHere's the demo for the song about youtube creators becoming buzzfeeds! Weirdly specific song but I enjoyed making it! Gonna be in the new video :)
Lyrics
We used to be misfits, yuh
But now were businesses, mmm
This used to be an escape
Now it's all replaced
So planned out and fake, mmm
I'm happy people make a living, living their dream
But people make a killing, killing what it used to mean
Now every little thing you see was vetted by a team
We used to be people, but became Buzzfeeds
We used to be people, but became Buzzfeeds

2023-12-19 20:07:24 +0000 UTCI love that kinda dark electro intro. I would have loved a darker chorus (cause that synth sound resonate with me), but i think i get why you did more of an uptempo chorus (misfit verse vs buzzfeed chorus..it serves more what you're saying than if it was all darker ^^). Also love those lyrics, which seems to speak truth, and , for me,they have a much higher impact when it's someone like you saying them.

2023-12-17 14:08:54 +0000 UTCNah I've done all of this stuff! I don't think it's bad, I'm just nostalgic for another time I guess, and trying to find how to navigate this stuff

2023-12-14 10:45:15 +0000 UTCThere's just this feeling. I was trying to figure all the methods used. This production is so clean, so balanced, just so mmmmwwwaaa. I can hear warping, fading, what do you call the sort of echo, multi voice, and I just can't place something else. I wish I could give a great big gold star on your forehead. A crown for the day? I wish I could hug you . This is just so really exciting to me. I need some more, please with a cherry on top. 😘😘😘😘😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰

2023-12-13 22:53:13 +0000 UTCIt’s very catchy ! It’s interesting to see your perspective as you have been doing youtube for so long and have been through all the changes and had to adapt to them. I am excited to see the video and hear all you have to say !

2023-12-13 22:08:25 +0000 UTCI’m happy it’s in first person, was a bit worried when you brought up this topic for the video that it might get a little preachy if you only referenced what other creators do. It’s catchy, your specialty 😁

2023-12-13 20:33:09 +0000 UTCAll of the editors who work (ed) for you seem to be just as friendly and wholesome as your channel is. When chatting with them on Instagram or replying back and forth to YouTube comments. You found an incredible team of talented and amazing people to work with you on your channel. When you build your team up again, please use the same outstanding people!!

2023-12-13 19:24:03 +0000 UTCThis one is 🔥!! I love the arrangement (this pads 😍), and melody - like the 80’s music (when melodies and synth music were the best), plus nice nostalgic /melancholy (but not boooring) vibe. Definitely I need full version of this gem 🥰

2023-12-13 19:17:31 +0000 UTCLyrics & melody are pretty on the game with an infectious hook. I wouldn't have known you're using Andrew Huang's plugin. That's quirky nice. Now you got me curious on the voting system. I hope you finish up the vid soon and spend more time with your family & friends. I'm loving this sneak peek. Thank you~~💜

2023-12-13 18:33:03 +0000 UTCI like the heavy fat beat and the lyrics are 🔥 Very catchy too 🥰🎧 And I feel the nostalgia from the melody somehow 😊 So exciting to see the video!

2023-12-13 17:52:50 +0000 UTCSounds great 😍 it has sort of nostalgic vibe, especially in the line "We used to be people"

2023-12-13 17:44:53 +0000 UTCI read the lyrics before listening to the song, and honestly, I was surprised how close it was in my head. First reading, then listening. I really like it…it’s catchy. Like Airyckah said “it’s an ear worm” (yes, a good one)!! I’m really looking forward to seeing the video!! 😁 I’m glad you had a safe flight to Sweden!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Have fun and enjoy your family, Joel!! Especially try to spend some time being Uncle Joel to your nephew and niece!! I know how hard it is living so far away from nieces and nephews. 🥺 My oldest niece will be 20 in May. So please, make sure to spend lots of time with them!!

2023-12-13 17:43:56 +0000 UTCCool song 🎵 interesting take on YouTube. It’s hard to find a YouTuber out there that doesn’t have a big team working for them. I still think for example Mr. Beast is still doing what he loves though.

2023-12-13 17:36:52 +0000 UTCFun fact: The vocal effect in the end is Andrew Huangs plugin ”Transit”

2023-12-13 17:36:01 +0000 UTCThat might be a problem to not watch for legal and brand safety. :D Big team doesn't mean smart for some creators.

2023-12-13 17:35:39 +0000 UTCThis will be in my head for the rest of the day 😂 But you definitely hit it right on with this.

2023-12-13 17:33:54 +0000 UTCTeams don’t tend to be focused on brand safety 😅 I mean, I had a team for a long time (and might build one again to some extent!) but they vetted things like video plannings, editing, pacing etc
Joel Berghult
2023-12-13 17:33:07 +0000 UTCCool effects on the song! The line "Now every little thing you see was vetted by a team" got to me. With so many YouTubers getting cancelled these days, not exactly true in all cases. Exceptions that prove the point.
Cas
2023-12-13 17:28:18 +0000 UTCEven knowing what this is about.. and the obvious “buzzfeeds” name drop… the lyrics are still relatable to none content creators 😅 And it’s an ear worm.. 50 points to hufflepuff
