Dayglow - How I Made "Listerine" 

Listerine is like an onion. It has LaYeRs

No one: Dayglow: You know, this song is really simple

sloan rlly out here carrying the music industry on his back

the moment we’ve all been waiting for

Imma miss this series but like they better be posting more tho even if it’s not music related

I'm so glad this dude is unproblematic

lol

Hot Dog Daydreams should definitely be the next album title

DID I HEAR NEEEEWW MUSSSIICC COMMIIIIN SOOOONN

Last time i was this early, he had a mustache

so i thought that the guitar solo at the end was a saxophone... i love this song so much though I've been waiting for this for so long

I want to do a secret handshake with this extremely talented young man after quarantine blows over.

Sloan: So these are all just synths layered on top of each other Me: Oh nonono sir, that right there is a b s o l u t e b l i s s 💫

I'm Brazilian, and also a big fan of you, I love music!🇧🇷🎶💕

gonna miss this series 😥

i loved the speech at the end. hope you enjoyed your “boujee” “preprepared” salmon as much as you like dogs, hot dogs, and hanging with your dawgs. keep up the dopeness that is life!

I don't know many other artists that are actually humanized to the extent of Dayglow. It's weird to hear him talking to the audience like anyone in real life.

FAVORITE SONG OFF THE ALBUM!!! Sloan, you really have no idea how much this song means to me. I have a playlist of special songs that really catch the "vibe" of who I am and how I feel, and this one immediately made the list when I first heard it. I wish I could tell you in person just how much this album has influenced my life. I turned 20 in January and I truly feel like Fuzzybrain has become the soundtrack to this year of my life. I also really love the music video. It's so simple but captures how the song makes me feel in a way that I can't really explain. Thank you so much, for real.

For those who know what the Enneagram is, Sloan is such a 7! Lyrics like “scattered mind I call it a friend,” and his fun loving personality is why I think so. The Enneagram is a personality test thingy like Myers Briggs but you get a number 1-9 instead of letters.

the vibes we have created in the studio today are ✨ i m m a c u l a t e✨

I’m so glad synth is making a comeback. It makes music sound so much more nostalgic hence making it better.

I remember when this song came out. I spent the whole week listening to it in a loop

this series was giving me my life energy

I don't know what any of this means but I love to see that creativity. This mans deserve more recognition

all i wanna know is.... how was your bougie salmon that you had for lunch?

That's probably one of my favorite songs ever

I’m gonna miss this series

This song hits different. The driving beat has a sense of urgency and the way you sing the verses and prechorus (with all the swells) adds tension until the chorus, which gives you this immense catharsis!! And that little seven-note riff is so iconic!! This song is what shows me your potential, your dedication, and your understanding of music! Thank you for it!

I love how he breaks down the songs for us. The song is amazing and I listen to it all the time. Keep making music!!!

KING, I LOVE FUZZYBRAIN

the guitar at 8:20 is soooo euphoric sounding like i can’t 😍

Half of the subscribers are from his funny edits on his videos and the other half is from his music. Me, I'm from both, yet I really do hope he continues doing videos, seems like a great vlogger.

More like listerine please. it's such a beautiful song.

4:12 this is magic 🥰

Listerine is my favourite. It's so complex, and it feels perfect, that's rare. The little guitar bit at the end reminds me of M83's Midnight City's sax (not because they sound the same but because of the placement) it's another all time fave of mine. I'd love to hear an orchestral version of Listerine, that'd be so cool. Listerine is one of those songs that I'll be listening to for years + the music video is perfect. I don't make music but I do illustrate so I completely get the 'only hearing noise' thing and overworking details except it's visual lmao. Love this series.

Yes this is one of my favorites

When he said “at a point I wasn’t hearing the song I was hearing noise” anybody that’s worked hard on a track knows that feeling when a song goes from “this for sure is a hit” to “fml it sounds the same to me” I’m super happy you finish through it cause man this song is a masterpiece

Love how Listerine has no meaning

Here very late, but one of the very few good things about 2023 for me was discovering Dayglow. Beyond thankful that you harnessed your creativity to share so much joy with others. 🙏🏻

This is my favorite song on the album 🥺✨.

gna have to make a new album as this series sorta has to have a season 2

I have only the utmost respect for Dayglow creatively and even more so now.

*I've been waiting for this for soo long* *Finally :-) !!!*

This intro was highkey amazing

You have my respect for working so hard on those cowbells I get incredible vibes every time I hear that intro

These videos made me appreciate this album so much more. He deserves every bit of recognition he has received.

LISTERINE IS MY FAVOURITE SONG EVER, thank you 🤗

Listerine has to be my favorite song in Fuzzybrain. I like how fast pace it is compared to the others which makes it stand out and that just draws me to it. I also find this song pretty nostalgic feeling and like I can relate to it even though I can’t figure out why :,) overall a great song and I’m excited about what’s to come in the future :-)

Way into my 50s and I admire the heck out of this young man for putting Listerine together electronically. Love the song immensely no matter how it was constructed.

sad that this is ending 🥺 anyways this is my favorite album ever love you

finishing with my favourite ☺️

Let’s go sloan. I’ve loved this series so much. Can’t wait for new music!!

You guy is like the cool free flow friend that some people in their friend groups

I feel ancient now that we've reached the final track off of Fuzzybrain! Guess I'll have to start streaming it again until you drop something.. 😳😁💖

Thank you Sloan, so grateful for you, your songs, and these videos.

You have no idea of how much I love that song and how much I love what you do and what you make me feel 🥺

“ I am a simple man” honestly this dude is perfection

I barely can wait for the new songs! Sending a lot of love for you from Brazil! ❤️🇧🇷

"I listened to this at least a thousand times" I listened to this once and I loved it. Your hard work paid off my man.

One of my fav songs

i can't wait for your new music, i'm still obsessed with fuzzybrain and these videos

Still a banger, only hearing it now after 3 years

your studio room is so cool. i cant wait for your new stuff

listerine is my fave track! loved these videos, love you, cant wait for the next album! fuzzybrain is 100% my favourite album of all time. every song is just perfect, even after you nit-picked at little bits i still think everything you've done to make these tracks work perfectly

I have learned so much from this series, as someone who has been making music for a while but only now been getting into recording guitar and vocals, this has been extremely helpful in shaping my approach to it all. Thank you!

Love the album, love the vids! Thanks for doing these

I will always love this album

ugh i really love this song. he is so talented

Thank you so much for teaching us how you did all this songs ^^ I love how you add a lot of details that I didn't notice before, it's very interesting learn about it! ❤

Hey there Sloan, what kind of secret handshake do you want to try in the future?

Kudos to the dedication and amount of time you put into these. I think its genius! So excited for your next album ♡

My fav track!

i love you, i love this song, and i love that you make production videos like these, they genuinely help me understand music production better thank you lol

ahhhh this song 😍

Oh my gosh I love listerine sm one of my favorite songs on the album

You say that the vocals are overdone but they're my favourite part of the song, so I'd say that's a success and a half-

Thanks for the content and information. the music is perfect. never stop doing this.

Thanks so much for making these! They've been really useful and enjoyful. Learnt a lot and finally know how to create delay wobblesss

this song is amazing
