Don't Throw Out My Legos/How We Made - AJR live - NYC 10/10/19 

its strangely satisfying when you hear everyone cheering when they do the revealing start of the song

Jack: Does literally anything Ryan: *and so we pitched that up an octave*

Yo. They made one of their best songs because JACK DROPPED HIS KEYS! I love this band so much.

imagine dropping your keys and thinking make that higher pitch

Anyone notice how those shapes are resemble how Ryan described his synesthesia?

**Jack literally just dropping his keys** Ryan: “Do that again.” Jack: “Huh?” Ryan: “do it”

That audience actually sings really well.. Impressive

The whole time watching this live I was trying to decypher which song they were making, and oh boy did my eyes light up when I figured it out, favorite song in the album apart from Karma!

jack: *farts* ryan: hold on, pitch that up an octave.

Ryan is just flatlining and AJR is just like “boost that up an octave real quick”

They are musical geniuses

3:05 I started getting really excited. This was the first song I ever heard from them.

The fact that they used old-timey sounds in the beat reminds me of watching Tom and Jerry or the Jetsons on boomerang as a kid.. makes this song ab growing up even sadder

i was at the concert in washington, as soon as everybody noticed the first beats of the song we started screaming

I absolutely love this song, and I adore how they do live performances, it’s on a whole other level from when they’re not live.

I joined the Army right out of high school and I can't describe how closely I can relate to the lyrics and leaving home for the first time. I had all my legos that I couldn't bring with me and I feel like I had this exact conversation with my parents and the emotions tied to it are EXACTLY how I felt.

Yo I was at that concert and I could see myself in this video!

I love how AJR does a how we made a song breakdown in their concerts

3:09 is so addictive to listen to

He should have done the higher octave in the studio version! It sounds so good!

I love how jack just vibes to the song while he’s waiting

A year later and the goosebumps still hit hard

don't throw out my legos is just about my favorite ajr song!!!! heard this live on their oko concert, life-changing dude 🤩

i First Heard them at a concert called Loveloud back in 2019 and this was the first song they played (or at lest the first I payed attentio to lmao). Fast forward 3 years, They're my Favorite band and I listen to them Daily.

Gosh can’t wait for them to hit the road again! I love when artists give you BTS into their producing. Jon Bellion does that all the time and it makes me love their music even more

Jack’s wild in all the best ways

I don't know why but I thought this is good to see at Christmas today

Going to the concert in Washington DC on the 21

Alright, so this is probably my favorite part of the show, if any of you know this, we write, record and produce our music in our living room and when we produce, we like to experiment a lot, produce with a lot of layers, try to find weird sounds you don't normally hear in music. So one day Jack fell down the stairs, and I said Jack, do that again, but this time we're gonna record it. So then I pitched it up nine octaves, gave it enough reverb to last until the end of time, and distorted it. So while Jack was in the hospital, I was messing around with it until it was the most fire shit in existence. After that, in this precise order, we added a little hi-hat, a bassline, and chords. After that, we were almost there. We just needed the most iconic melody to ever exist on this planet, and we would be done. So I was thinking about that when we heard a knock at the door. It was Jack, returning from the hospital. He was in a wheelchair, and he explained to us that he would need to use it for the next 3 months until he healed. But I needed a funny melody, so I grabbed him out of the wheelchair, set him down on the ground, and defenestrated the wheelchair. I recorded the whole thing, and it sounded amazing, so while Jack was writhing in agony, I fucked around with it for the next 3 days without sleep until it would make you cry with joy upon hearing it. Then I put it in the song, and that's how we made "The Cheez-itz song". Thank you, either NYC or Austin, Texas, for appreciating the fact that we write, record and produce our music in our living room and when we produce, we like to experiment a lot, produce with a lot of layers, try to find weird sounds you don't normally hear in music. Bye!

I love this song so much, Its so relatable and hits hard

AJR: Don't Throw Out My Legos RU-vid: Finale (Can't Wait To See What You Do Next)

They are inspiring me to make my own songs. I hope I'll get to meet them someday on the music industry!

Here to relive some memories, I was at this exact show and I can’t believe they did all this for my favorite song! Still my favorite to this day

Ryans "1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, Like that!" at 2:01 is so satisfying to me T-T

This sounds so much better than on spotify

何度聴いても飽きない名曲　背景に楽譜がでるなんて、たまんないよね

I love them!! I’m going to their OK concert next year my friends standing room by the stage and I’m so excited!!

Didn't they already talk about the making of Don't Throw Out My Legos?

i just discovered this song while looking around on my apple music- i was instantly addicted

THEYRE SO GOOD, I WISH I WENT TO THEIR CONCERT

Dude, by the 2nd verse, when it said "saved up enough to rent an apartment far away from mom and dad," I started crying because I recently moved to college and I miss them so much.

just good proof that music creation can come from anything!

This is great

Pure talent

Ah, 2019, what a better year than 2020 and 2021.

I was there last night!!!!,

They are so unique

oh yeah, I was there... nothing big (>ᗜ

They did this for weak at a concert I was at live. Weak was the first AJR song I ever heard, it was an amazing performance.

I was there in Washington :)

That bass drop was cooler than drill X from Skylanders Giant’s

2:19 who else hears Way Less Sad?

Don't throw me out!

The transition is beautiful as fuck

I think that people that upload these should leave the name out of the title to best replicate the feel of finding out mid concert. Instead putting the title in the description that way if you want to find out that way you can check the description.

Jack: Breathes Ryan: Can you do that again?

Your music is so experimental and fun! You’re one of my favorite musical artist’s. ♥️

너무 좋아요 !!❤️

i got a lego ad on this video lmao

Ok this takes a SPECIAL ear to do this

pure genius

The difference between Neotheatre and OK orchestra concert quality is insane

2:23 if i were watching this live this is when i would recognize it

1:04 is that BEATLES’ PENNY LANE

And then we decided to change the music world forever

Haha good song

GREAT song. My mom took away my legos :((

The weird thing is that I can sort of hear this in the song.

People still watching in 2024

Actual song starts at 3:21

What is the name of the Beatles song they played???

It sounds like way less sad

they could make sick rap beats

This was so close to my birthday :( 10/19

Can someone please tell me the name of the record they sampled??

They also made it their most depressing song

i really like the minor part of the piano 2:12

Some band should cast an entire school to go home listen to their hit song that they’re making perfect it and debuted it in a school wide music video in the auditorium with the band to the world that singing in union with the masses can be beautiful and inspire people to music who didn’t think they had the talent

I'm dumbfounded on how the youtube bots could detect a four second sample of 100 bad days and call it finale but not the entire song that followed

3:22 people knew the song

it sounds like jack is dying lolol

My legos how am I gonna build now

Wow ajr toulitind

What is the song they played a minute into the video after they “forgot about it”??

nooo my legos :(

Keys for the piano part pls

What song was thr beatles part

Soy el único mexicano aquí

the people who disliked look so left out

DON'T EXIST A BAD MUSIC FROM AJR! you can't change my mind.

I thought it really sounded like nerds by bo burnham, i thought they had sampled it, thats why im here, guess im wrong🤷🏼‍♀️

They did the same thing for bang

What song is that that they used for the snare?

Why does 2:14 kinda sound like Hotel California

anyone know the song playing in 1:06

It would be so fun to see them do something with Charlie Puth

what song? 1:04

Anybody know the bass chords

I CAN'T HEAR THE 🅓🅐🅜🅝 SONG AUDIENCE
