I'm recently married, but my husband has been working on his master's degree alongside an intense full time job, so we don't get to spend much time bonding and doing things together. Our first year of marriage is all booked up. This song feels like a warm hug and an apology for lost time. Thanks AJR, I needed this one.
I was at WonderStruck Fest when they filmed the concert part, and it's even better than I could've imagined- and they only had to do one take!!! What an absolutely flawless transition to the stage, the performance was amazing and hands down one of the best experiences I've ever had :)
I was also there, and was in the front row. Unfortunately I underbooked my ABNB and had to leave 30 minutes before they went on to get our stuff out. At least my friend made it in the video still...
My best friend and I were there too! We're pretty noticeable bc we wore masks xD (idk how they all did it, jack especially! It was so hot that day in the sun!)
Imagine going to a concert to see Jack crawl out of an ocean just to jump onto the stage and start singing. That would totally be how Jack makes an entrance.
One thing I love about AJR is that they act and look like normal people. They don’t try to be or look like plastic and it makes them that much more real and down to earth.
@Diego Hernandez I know, but it's still kind of funny. If we wanna be really, technical, we could point out that the trees on shore in Dear Winter don't match the trees here, but meh.
here are examples: in dear winter, it seems there's a island in the backround. in christmas in june, the road where they produced the ending scene of bummerland is a street now filled with cars. boom.
@@MacCraeToons1214 also I did initially think of burn the house down but that is more of (somewhat) a call out song on things like the music and entertainment industry
I will never understand the die-hard hate for this band. They’re far from perfect, but they have some genuinely great songs, including this one. I really liked OKO, it was really refreshing to see a band experimenting with things like 20’s era jazz and an old Disney-like sound.
I remember watching reaction videos and most of them were hating em. I dont really understand either. Sometimes their lyrics are random but they have meaning behind them, and their music is pretty unique.
This was so cool to be a part of! I was at the Wonderstruck festival in Cleveland and they basically said “Okay so Jack is going to leave the stage and when he comes back he is going to look like crap. But it’s for a music video. So just be really loud and we will film you” So he runs out and of course we were super loud and the crowd naturally just started waving it’s arms like that and they went “WAIT! Don’t stop doing that! It’s perfect!” So yeah. Now it’s this! 😁
Fell off Dear Winter boat, stranded on Bummerland, so he couldn't come hang out and talk about one of his 100 bad days that made him interesting at parties.
If I had a nickel for every time Jack's been in a boat during one of their music videos, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
Lyrics Ok, I'm ready New Year's Eve I was at a festival in New Orleans You were in Tribeca kissin' nobody I owe you one, yes, I do Valentine's Day We decided we would do the whole darn thing But I played to an empty gym in Iowa State I guess I owe you that too I try so hard to be so happy, are you happy too? Doo, doo, doo, doo Plan on this You're no longer gonna be the plan I miss I won't ever let you down, but just in case Can we do Christmas in June? Oh my God How lucky am I to have two things I love? Makes it that much easier to flip it up In case I miss it, can we do Christmas in June? I skipped prom I thought I would blow up from that radio spot Remember how you chuckled when you heard that song? But you won't be laughing soon One big day, one big show'll make 'em know my name But if it ends up falling on our wedding day Oh, God, don't make me choose I try so hard to be so happy, are you happy too? I know you try to Plan on this You're no longer gonna be the plan I miss I won't ever let you down, but just in case Can we do Christmas in June? Oh my God How lucky am I to have two things I love? Makes it that much easier to flip it up I hate to do this, can we do Christmas in June? Ba-da-da, ba-da-da, ba-da-da da Ba-da-da-da-da-da Ba-da-da, ba-da-da, ba-da-da da Ba-da-da, ba-da-da, ba-da-da da (woah) Ba-da-da-da-da-da Ba-da-da, ba-da-da, ba-da-da da (woah) Ba-da-da, ba-da-da, ba-da-da da Ba-da-da-da-da-da Ba-da-da, ba-da-da, ba-da-da da (woah) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (ba-da-da, ba-da-da, ba-da-da da) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (ba-da-da, ba-da-da, ba-da-da da) Plan on this You're no longer gonna be the plan I miss I won't ever let you down, but just in case Can we do Christmas in June? Oh my God How lucky am I to have two things I love? Makes it that much easier to flip it up I hate to do this, don't wanna lose this Can we do Christmas in June? Hold on, love A little longer while I get the album done And if I get to tour it, wouldn't that be fun? But that's one less month with you Holy s*** Now I'm sittin', thinking 'bout what else I'll miss Darling, if we're ever gonna have a kid Don't wanna miss it, can we just have him in June?
The way I was NOT expecting that twist. Like I was so excited he got to the show and the energy changed completely, but then there was another twist. In his mind he made it to the show, but in reality he never did. Wow this has so many metaphors for feeling stuck and I can’t name them all. But I really really loved it
If I had a nickel for every ajr song that -was an album closer -is about missing events because of work -mentions missing prom for something with a radio I would have 2 nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice, right?
Love the music video. I like how the video kinda gives off this idea that things don't always go the way you plan but we can't just give up on them. We've got to work with what we have and look on the bright side of things. Very different from when I was just listening to the song. Really gave the song the glory it deserves.
@@angadkwatra9579 the song is about balancing two passions, a passion for your work (music) and passion for a relationship. and trying to balance personal goal with your shared goals of a relationship, I relate to it as an animator, spending my time working on animation and RU-vid, and trying to balance my time in my relationships. The video doesn't seem to related to the song to me, but might be related to Covid, and how AJR is now recently back to doing tours again like back to normal, being isolated for so long and then just getting back out there into the world and with crowds again. That's my interpretation of the video at least.
This whole album is just... I can't find words. Seriously, everything hits so damn hard like a ton of bricks in the face. I love it so much, it's gonna hold a special place in my heart. My friends who don't know English would dance to AJR's songs at a party but I would cry. I would bawl my eyes out because I relate to every song and I was almost diagnosed with depression. It hits home
Right in the feels. My husband and been married 12 years. He's still active duty army. I'm out and got my degree and the job. We are constantly seem to be making time up to each other.
I met them in Denver way back before Living Room even came out. It really is amazing watching other people finally see what I saw way back in 2014. I'm so happy for them and how big they've gotten.
I just can’t get over the amount of sand that must’ve been all over Jack by the time they were done filming this. Even though it was most likely super uncomfortable to lay down on the beach, Jack still did it anyway. Talk about dedication.
@@MacNerfer I guess I just have bad experiences with beaches lol! When I was younger, my family and I went to the Gulf Shores for vacation. The beach we went to slanted down to the water. I was sitting by the water when a wave came up the slant and it came up to my waist. I got sand in my shorts. It was the most uncomfortable thing ever. I had to walk up to our condo and I was crying because of how uncomfortable it was.
I was there when they filmed this. By far one of the best experiences I've had at a concert. Such great energy from everyone and the arm waving wasn't even planned... LOVE how this turned out! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
I’m a seamstress with a small business and I just got into my first relationship ever (I’m 23 lol I know) and I’m almost sure this is the one. And I never truly understood the lyrics on a personal level until my relationship began and now this song has an entirely new meaning to me than it did when it came out. It amazes me how every album they put out it has always had songs relating to whatever season in life I’ve been in it’s almost scary. And what’s crazier is “Dear Winter” has always been a song that hit the hardest when I heard it because I was in that season of life and now that I’m in a relationship chasing a dream and the love of my life I now feel “Christmas in June” on a personal level. It’s insane! I’ll always love AJR
i was at the concert in that clip!! it was amazing, there are no words to describe the energy they all bring to the stage!! been a fan for years and couldn’t have been more impressed! incredible work from all of you
YES! I have been jamming to Ajr 2 years in a row! I can’t wait for may 10th 2022, I get to go to their concert!!! Ajr I hope u see this comment because I love you guys so much! Omg I’ve never had this many like thanks u guys❤️
Every time AJR posts a music video, I go to comments and see what it means to people. Some things are just so meaningful that I start crying. That's why I love AJR, their songs mean different things to people, and all of them love the songs. The band has brought me closer to my family, and I'm really happy about it. Anyways, thank you so much for making this video, and I expect great things from you in the future.
Well I mean, AJR can be a bit too real at times, its easy to pick up the same kinda "bummer" attitude that they give off, I don't know how to describe it. It's the tone and mood that makes me kinda scared that It's really influencing me as a person in a negative way, but God damn are their songs good

It’s insane! I’ll always love AJR. Thought I’d share this even tho most probably won’t read it lol sorry if it’s long haha “It really doesn’t seem like there’s anyone for me..” -Dear Winter, the lyrics that applied to me and hit the hardest in 2019 “Oh my God, how lucky am I to have two things I love, makes it that much easier to fuck it up.” -Christmas in June, where I’m at currently in 2021 God help my sanity I love AJR lol Edit: ok so as of December 31st 2021 I am officially engaged ❤️❤️ and this song is becoming even more special to me ❤️ Update: We’re married now! Thanks everyone for the well wishes. The wedding was beautiful and perfect. We got married on January 14th 2023! We couldn’t be happier 😁 Update update: well. Y’all. The baby is due this coming January in 2024. Couldn’t be happier in life. God is good!
@@CXHo-sy1xz well if my parents had not taught me the importance of stranger danger I would. Because I got engaged two days ago on New Year’s Eve and I’m already dreaming of 2023 ❤️
I think the concert was a dream/hallucination Jack had while trapped on the island. At 2:48 he looks like he’s about to pass out from exhaustion, when he starts hearing a crowd cheer. Then we see him on a road, trying to get to the concert but if there was really a road right there he would have found it before. Then at 3:52 it suddenly cuts back to him on the exact same spot he passed out in, finally being rescued for real.
Or it's more of a symbolic representation of him being mentally exhausted of the touring forcing him to retreat to solitude (the island) but knowing what this means to the fans(the energy, excitement etc) This he continues with his tour(the boat at the end)

Can we do Christmas in December :)? (Merry Christmas!!)
Hey Charlotte (My friend) I give you the challenge of finding this comment Some of you reading this may ask yourself why are you doing this? The answer is that I'm bored Your clue: It is on an Ajr song
They stitched this video really well. The stage scene really got me in the feels. Then the scene where he's finally rescued and you realized he missed his show and that the stage scene was all in his head made me feel emotional too
Christmas in June, the song that is from an album released in March and it's cover takes place in the fall. Not to mention the music video dropping in August.
It's ok Jack, no one can be a perfect partner. We all mess up sometimes, but it's when we want to fix those mistakes and be better that makes us a good partner :)
This song may mean different things to different people and my interpretation boarders on a very VERY minor scale. I’m a small streamer and I stream every night and it sadly puts a strain on my relationship, I wish I didn’t have to chose. I love streaming and I love her, I wonder if we could get married when schools out … in June
his bros: where the hell is jack???? we have a concert in an hour jack: *hears cheer of crowd and freaking abandons the deserted island and somehow get to the concert in time*

Not me living in Iowa and freaking out when it gets mentioned in this song. I feel like Iowa is always overlooked but my favorite band mentions it! Can’t wait to see you guys in person for the first time EVER next year!!!
