The editor or this one did an amazing job with the graphics. The integration of the guitar tab and other musical "elements" (for lack of a better word) into the visuals was great. Super nice details for those who're looking for them, and cool visuals for those who aren't!
Amazing video! Thank you so much for bringing Jennifer Lee’s story to the attention of your subscribers. She has an incredible perspective on music that is unique and special to her!
I came here after watching Netflix. I actually undergone the same surgery Jen went through about three weeks ago, because I have the same disease. I was actually avoiding the episode because I'm currently tone deaf. It gave me hope to hear that her hearing back. I had almost given up on music, you take so many things for granted, I look forward to listening to this song again once my hearing is 100%. I'm also grateful for her for sharing her story, our disease is not well known so this is a form of awareness. A lot of the feelings she expressed here I can identify with.
been listening to her songs for the ages but never heard her personal stories like this. Many of us have near-death experiences that maybe drive us to be more persistent than ever. So for people that never have near-death experiences, do not wait until that happens to you! Let's rock!
I usually don’t like electronic music but this brings out something totally different. It real and earthy and you can listen to this at a party or just on a car ride it’s truly unique 💗
As a person who listens to electronic music, the sounds are quite crisp and futuristic. As she says, she was inspired by hip hop and you can still hear the beat. Sounds like lo-fi hip hop with better music quality, and again, crispy. Beat is deep.
"I don't wanna live my life for anyone else" This is one of the biggest lessons for every individual to learn and it's not easy to actually accept it. I'm right now in the process of applying that to my life. Sadly she had to go through a really hard time to learn that herself. Her music isn't my pair of shoes but the story is nice and it's more motivational than any other so-called motivational speech on youtube. Wish her all the best, she's talented and pretty, sky is the limit!
I saw her in the Netflix documentary Explained in the episode called “Music” where she talked a lot about how she survived the Moya Moya brain disease. She is so brave and I respect that. 👏🏻❤️
As a survivor of a life threatening illness myself, I am so inspired by this girl! When creating art is in your soul, it might take awhile to come back after recovery, but it never dies.
i know her since first days of 2013...and i had the pleasure to see her live in barcelona 2014...then i've heard of the sickness and now the joy to hear she's back with her majestic sound.GLAD YOU ARE BACK QUEEN!
Been listening to her since the Midnight Menu album from back in the day. I've followed her music since that time period. I"m glad to know she's doing much better in life now. Got to see Flylo perform live. She is definitely another I would love to see at a live show one day.
Always loved her. It's so exciting to see what she has up her sleeve & her evolution throughout the years. I wouldn't have listened to Anderson Paak if it weren't for her. I hope I have the chance to see her again & that she features many more talents. ❤
Those last few lines really pulled at my heart strings and that thing is on life support. Also love the song that was on in the background, which has also moved me in the past. Thank you Jennifer for your music and your inspiration!
I’ve been a fan of TOKiMONSTA and GBS for years! This is the collab I didn’t know I needed. When I heard about her surgery, I was scared that she would fade away in to obscurity like indie artists do, but she just keeps turning out! What an inspiration!
This was so awesome. I'm a graphic designer and a type one diabetic and I'm starting to lose my vision already at 30. I know what it's like to feel your ability to create slip away and how difficult it feels to have to wonder if you can be you after something like what you went though happens. I'm Canadian and my treatment is eye injections and they cost so much and I can't afford them and even with out health coverage I can't get covered for them because of my age. If I was older it would have been covered. At $1200 per treatment every month for up to a year, I'm still trying to create and find work to pay to keep my sight and it's so frightening. I hope you keep fighting and that your condition never takes that fight away so you keep making people fall in love with your music.
This is so cool because I remember I first learned about her in 2012 I think, when I at a Korean dentist office and was flipping through KoreAm magazine and I was reading about how she aimedfor her dream of being a musician, and I thought wow this is a woman who is really trying to live her life and make it so I really admired it. And I listened to her music here and there ever since then. Shes an amazing lady. I didnt think I'll see her interview here on Great big story. Shes such a creative person
Nice. Good to see that she is *making electronic music with natural sounds.* The best creators in the electronic music were making the same effort for decades now. I think she makes her music slightly more fun and pop. Like an electronic pop-hip-hop mix for the nice vibes.
i'm a full time dance kid, now at home with a partially dislocation knee injury, while everyone else dances in school. I think I understand the philosophy of wanting to live for yourself and not others.
Last year I had the same surgery as Jennifer did, for Moyamoya disease, but only on the right side. I lost my sense of music, it's odd to explain it to people. Anything musical was suddenly gone, timbre, beat, melody, etc. The most jarring difference was the sound of men's voices. All bass that is in a man's voice was gone. Some people's voices were painful too, as in, headache triggering if a noise was too sharp. I could still hear sharp noises like alarms, bells, and unfortunately high pitched voices. Listening to a song was basically like listening to poetry and that's it. I had no idea what was happening, it took me a few days to figure out what happened. I went without music for about 3 weeks. I thought I was alone in my experience until I came across Jennifer on Netflix. I told my surgeon what happened and he had never heard about that happening. It was definitely strange. The best way I can describe it is to think about music as colour. Noises and sounds still exist in the world, my brain just couldn't piece them together into something coherent. When you watch a movie on a black and white TV, you can't see the colours but you can still see the world, and it doesn't mean the colours don't exist. I like to share my experience since it was definitely unique.
I've been a fan of her music since her first album. I never knew she struggled with this disease. Glad to hear she's doing better and still making awesome music!
TOKiMONSTA killed her show at the Shrine 9/14. My first ever EDM based show and I listen to her discograpgy almost daily now. If Lune Rouge gets the Grammy this weekend ill probably cry tears of joy. Keep killing it Jen 🖤🖤🖤
As some one who has a brother who makes music, I appreciate all music creators a lot because of their hard work that they do, it might sound the same with other musicians but you have no idea how much people spend time and hard work creating their piece..
Been loving her music for years. Didn't know this about her. Great piece. Also, she is beautiful. But more importantly her music and strength of character makes her a total badass
I always respect artists like her. It is sad artists doing the same old thing are much more popular and common is more attractive to people than unique. First time I came across her style I'm gonna check her out
I aint even know she went through all of that. The first time I heard Tokimonsta was about 6 years ago when she remixed Freakin You by Jodeci. Glad to hear she's fine and doing great.
I'm so grateful of knowing her music all the way back to "Go With It" from 2013. That was the song that made me fall in love with her unique style. It makes me so happy that she's growing as an artist and her story makes me double think the way I'm living mine. People like you are the 'heroes' that young generations should be looking up to, unlike these pill popping rappers of today.
I'm a huge fan of her music, but I've seen her live twice and both times she just panders to the crowd and plays stuff that sounds nothing like her album material.. like remixes of beyonce and shit. Was very let down
@@DFTNSHEXGRM Her Lune Rouge album tour played a lot of original material didn't it? I mean maybe I'm wrong about that but I remember the show being pretty great from start to finish.
Enough people have said it already but this is epic, ive seen you live but didnt know all this about you. So epic and inspiring to go for it and make music. Lets go
