ur so real for that

Yooo Ore!!

So real

This is pretty mid ngl

I wanna be reminiscing this era forever like our parents do for for the 80s😂

​@@yagnikbose8973 hahaha same

In my case, I also like songs from the 1920s

Yeah lol

The day bands are making covers on these songs to try kick start their own music. Oh that song has a bit of Lovejoy in it, doesn’t it?! Kind of like how Lovejoy has a bit of Arctic Monkeys in it.

same, listened to this once and immediately went to learn it

Yo if you don’t already know them check out the band royal blood and listen to Typhoons Little monster And loose change You’ll be in love, they’re better live

Check Under Control by Good Shoes, it's the original 😂

​@@LuciusAugustyep this song is a rip of this

Also as a bassist, I must have missed the heavy bassline.

Yoo

Hello there mr nivison

hahaha, silly milk man

You guys did an awesome job this is amazing❤

Hellooo

THE Skip! You killed it my guy!

Skip you deserve a ton of credit for your role in the video. You were STELLAR as Professor Watts.

OMG SKIP ITS HIM OMG OMG ONG u did a great job YIPPEE!!

You did great! :D

You have a wonderful mustache

La gente se toma el tiempo de publicar en todos los videos de lovejoy, tienes razón, no se deben tomar su p*to tiempo de comentar lo que hizo el, si la banda ya lo sabe lo hacen al c*rajo, total no los van a leer, mejor solo feliciten a las personas que trabajaron duro en esto, pero ya no podemos ver a Wilbur igual

Listen to Megadeth...

Dare say Megadeth and quite different to this. They're class but also not really a substitute for Lovejoy ​@@heinoustentacles5719

Hate Wilbur Soot Love everyone else who made this It just sucks that there’s a double standard here :/

Seperate the artist from the art. Wilbur messed up BIG TIME, but I still like this song. Yes, even his singing.

I get you. everytime I play my music he looks at me all proud like "I raised you right, kid". and that makes me happy for some reason.

​@@iwontbesilenced2321wholesome dad moments are one of the true joys in life

​@@clairebourke8465yeah,you can say its a Lovejoy moment!😂😂😂 (Okay now start throwing tomatoes)

​@@nsgn3102 it was a cheeky but good joke no need to be ashamed XD

​@@iwontbesilenced2321 Omg same my dad is all into this type of heavy metal and rock, and then I showed him Lovejoy and he was like omg my child actually has a good music taste and I kept showing him music like Lovejoy and it was sooooo cool❤️🎸 love you Lovejoy

Who's ted??

​@@andriemiguelkrishnan653ted nivison directed the music video :)) he also has his own channel and he's part of a podcast (chuckle sandwich) where they did an episode with wilbur if you're interested in that

@@andriemiguelkrishnan653 hes a good friend of wilburs and an amazing youtuber :)

For real

true

A blazing hot hit, one could say.

Amen

FR

I watched you before!

*laughs in aro*

I thought it said “you open up your eyes” I’m gonna die

what is demiromantic?

@@pepsi6825 it means i only experience romantic attraction to people im close to, so i dont ever just fall in love with someone i barely know

Was never small

Due to Wilbur’s popularity in 2021 I think the band kinda blew up when it started, but now it’s much more renowned

Cause they’re songs are so good

​@@unwantedrainbow3851Yeah

There’s a reason they call him Tednevision!

That guy is Will Neff!

I know right!? The whole thing is incredible, the song was always overwhelming my senses in the best way, and the music video demonstrates illustrates it beautifully.

@@yeyeyeyeyeyeyyeyey I thought it was, the whole time I was like ‘I know that guy from somewhere’

me too! I could have swore I saw him before

Good exposure and a great track. Lots of potential, but I guess now its all about coming up with enough material to get that album out there. I don't think they have a full LP yet?

fr i don't want lovejoy to end...

​@@Alex-xr1mpVery true. Their music hits hard

@@gianisalive193lovejoy won’t end because of what wilbur did, think about Chris brown, the Beatles, guns n roses

@@codiburns4384 True. I am just woried

Same! 🔥

Same here, I legit want to listen to the rest of their discography

@@aliyan247 Highly reconmend, as this type of music is sometimes my thing but not always I love how lovejoys music always has a great base and punch to it :)

songs mediocre tbh

@@CatherineAvila-ce3bw That is one of the takes of all time

First reply

@@Mrrubbe bozo

Hey mysticat!! Glad you love this as much as I do :D

Heyy :)

:0 Mysty is a Lovejoy fan!!!!

To now biting people 💀

​@@youcanttieyourshoes472I CANT LMFAOO- 💀💀😭😭

ikr! he's the best singer I've watched actually

Even if any part of a band did something that sucks, that doesn't change the fact that the band has good music

​@@gianisalive193TRUE IM SO GLAD IM NOT THE ONLY ONE

It’s not “drama” as much as an actual crime

yes

its kind of like a fucked up shitty cursive that looks like somebody wrote while in a hurry

YOU'RE SO RIGHT

Yea wilber says that lovejoy is inspired by artic monkeys

for me it sounds like a highway chase

NON DMCA? you mean public domain? haha, how odd is it that we refer to it today as "non dmca" instead of "public domain" though

@@avokka ha whoops, fixed:)

yes

Not saying what he did was right. But this song kinda slapped when it first came out but I'm totally with you Honestly people need to get a grip he's a good artist

yes. i just listen to music i like.

"all the drama"? Domestic abuse is a crime

I personally can't if the artist is still alive The money still goes to him Yes, there are other band members, but when 3/4 are found to do awful things, I can't support them.

@@imjustroleplaying wait till you find out about virtually every company/service. your logic shouldnt be based on how many people included in the project are doing bad things. like oh its only one of the band members ok its fine then lol, you can dislike the music because of the artist i dont care but i dont think your reasoning makes much sense

YES! its like he realized just what he was doing

Thanks for the mention!

​@@Skiph22 omg, not even kidding i wasnt expecting this. You are such a good actor and also thank you😅

@@exogames. Ted gave me the exact direction notes that you said you saw- look/analyze/realize/run…. Good to know I got it right. This shoot was great. I’ve done mv’s w Ed Sheeran, One Republic, Justin Beiber, Lil Yachty, and others but this was over the top better.

​@@Skiph22 Ted really did a good work, and you nailed it. I felt the emotion and just had to make a comment about it

Sorry for asking but what did he do

@@CattBlob caught on fire at the end of the song 🕊🕊🕊

​@@CattBlob He's the guinea pig

@@CattBlob he died

​@@BlairDoesStuff I'm sorry if this is a joke but the fire was cgi

SAMEEE

Blew his mind too

That guy's mind was blown too... (sorry)

@@EchoTheGayOneI WHEEZED

Yes, and I also love the scene where Mark plays the drumms in One Day music video.

Not exactly drum Solos, they are just fills

Added: “Mellifluous” to VOCABULARY

@@Emeraldog was about to comment the same thing lol

In most lovejoy songs the drums are just cracked, I always listen out to them and my mind is blown

Mark is the best drummer!

I love your profile pic. Hobie Brown all the way!

@@O_O.The.Commenter thank you big man!

Angel all the way 🫡

74 likes and no comments? I can fix that. But seriously, it is a work of art, honestly the black and white really gave quite a cool effect :)

​@@CloudiLynWE KNOWWWWWW

@@areyasquiddinme So your speaking for them? How do you know what their opinion is..☠️☠️

fr bro

Sad that EA might remove this bcuz of what Wilbur did lol

what did he do@@youcanttieyourshoes472

@@marcosmarc247Just search the allegations, they're everywhere, but I don't think it'd be fair to remove a bands song from a game just because of one of the members.

The following is an analysis of the video by jumbo from June 2 2023 "Here’s my thoughts on it. I’m in film school, and I was a Choir student for 12 years. This is all just incredible. Just figured I’d share my thoughts! Digging into the lyrics, the song is about a guy who wants to fall in love with a girl but can’t because he’s insecure that he’s too boring and predictable. Paradoxically, he wants to put himself out there and do great and exciting things - presumably to have something to talk about - but he’s too scared to do that too. He wants to be something, but he’s not saying anything at all literally and figuratively. Thus, the song’s title, Portrait of a Blank Slate, is an oxymoron representing the psyche of this hypothetical man. The music video is full of silent era components and surrealist imagery, which is a great way for director Ted Nivison to say he’s a film buff without saying he’s a film buff. Though it’s what he states in his BTS video, I drew much more from his vision than mere efforts to be “weird,” “old,” or “trippy.” I think the choice to splice public domain medical footage in with the rest of the music video expresses the hypothetical man’s acknowledgement that he is, on the most rudimentary level, exactly how everyone else exists. It’s fitting that footage that everyone has access to was used to convey that he’s got a body, he’s got a brain, and he feels he has nothing unique to do with it. I know that he’s telling himself this because of the edit that rapidly match cuts between the test subject and the scientist helming the experiment just before the title slides of various illnesses. Sometimes, match cuts are just done to create a smooth transition from one thing to another, but I firmly believe this is one of those cases suggesting the two subjects linked by the match cuts are one and the same. He is the test subject, and the scientists are the voices in his head, deconstructing him to the point of illness… mental illness. The lyrics sung at this exact point are “I guess you know now what to expect He lives your own life in retrospect You know it bores me? These insecurities Breaks you down just to act as the architect” Rewatching the music video again, I immediately paused it at this part and replayed it because it stood out to me as perfect synchronicity between soundtrack and cinematic language. This was certainly my favorite part, and this level of artistry totally stays maintained from start to finish. Lovejoy’s song slaps, Ted Nivison did a fine job directing the music video, and both parties accomplished so much in so little time. The project may tell a story about lacking individuality, but the project itself definitely earns its own"

@@austinrimel1150 This is awesome! Thanks a bunch. I love analysing the performing arts; and this just scratched an itch in my brain. So clever!

Least corny lovejoy enjoyer

the fact that this video was recorded in just under 16 hours is incredible ted did an amazing job as dirsctor and im sure he will direct many more

Clearly isn't picky then

@@Sushivan-yc5zr and why do you think that? Because you have a different opinion than that person?

@@elitedog4365 yup

@@Sushivan-yc5zr oh alright then you do you

@@elitedog4365 thankyou

oh you didn't hear? yeah no ted nivison wasnt thrilled with will's acting so he just got a flame thrower and started recording. it's realistic beccause he was actually on fire!! v cool trivia

​@@octag0nal makes sense. Ted's such a bad guy

Real

Real

Who’s stopping you from still loving them?

@@Szwiftyy no one just sad that he had to do that

No age limit for good taste in music 👌

yep @finnvost9349

This comment right here made my day

I showed this to my dad. He just started clapping-didn’t stop for ten or so hours. He hated it. What a guy.

My 56 year old aunt loves this

And die for it too, as we can clearly see in the video

It’s really cool that he committed to the role.

I wasn’t sure if it was Will Neff, glad to see it is

The lead singer is an abuser

​@@YkitsYourFavoriteJesus4754no cuz theres no proof but the songs awesome anyway 🤘🤟

@@cccccc6667 there is proof he admitted it

@@shipbloxxer he didnt admit to it. He said it was with permission. He only apologized to make shubbles feelings valid, if he hurt anyone, and out of respect and from @bus3

(My comment got deleted) THIS IS A BANGEEERRRRRR 🤘👍🤘🤟🤟🤘🤟👍🤟🤘🤟🤟🤟🤘🤟🤟🤟🤟🤘

Exactly like they’re definitely not stopping at this amazing level they’ve already gotten to! I’m sure we’re all excited to see them grow to even higher and better heights as they grow as a band

Crazier thing is it is not just "drama" Wilbur has committed a damn crime.

@@AlexT1210still probably going to forget. This is something that has nothing to do with the audiences or their personal lives, its going to fade fast even though he should be punished

@@AlexT1210it isnt a crime. Plus unless she took pictures of the bite marks, and IF it was a crime, then he could never be convicted. Really though, hes been punished enough (or will be, lovejoy will prolly fall apart). He lost all his friends, career, and will find it very hard to make new friends or find a partner. Leave him be, we already basically know he has depression (judging by the state of his room and stuff).

@@tempejklI agree

@@tempejklyou are the most reasonable person I have seen talking about this subject, thank you.

Could you please explain it? I didn't really get it

⁠​⁠@@Koulstart Mv = music video They like the concept (idea) of the music video, and think the way they made the music video is incredible. They like the costumes (what the characters in the music video are wearing) and set design (how the area the music video got recorded in)of the music video They also liked how the lyrics (song text) matched up with the music video They think its a 10/10 music video and give the team that made it props (look at it as if they give their respect to the team that made it)

@@Koulstart After reading over the lyrics, I think the guy being experimented on is gaining a new perspective to life due to the music and wants to break free from the repetitiveness of it all, but realizes he can’t and just gives up. Tbh I don’t fully understand the idea behind it, but this is what makes the most sense to me.

@@Koulstart I think their presenting their research on how music effects a part of the brain and it goes very badly just like everything else within wu&io industries

also kanye did shitty stuff but his music is still really loved

Exactly

Your comments about Jim Morrison are false. No wife of his hung herself as you claim.He was never legally married. His famous girlfriend Pamela Courson was a drug addict who died of a heroin OD in 1974. His longtime partner Patricia Keneally died of natural causes recently at age 76.

@@FRANKSNAKE71Theres also Pantera whos lead is a literal Neo-Confederate, but Walk slaps

True, John Lennon from the Beatles hit his wife on a few occasions.

Me too, the moment I heard Will’s voice I immediately recognized it was him and I was so happy Lovejoy’s song made it in EA FC 24.

@@joshintosh3228 Agreed. It really fits the FIFA soundtrack meta a lot.

RIGHT? IM JUST IMAGINING THEY GET BIGGER THAN THEY ARE NOW AND WE CAN JUST LOOK BACK AT THIS FIRE ART (no offence to will who literally got burnt alive) IN THE FUTURE props to my cousin for recommending me this band two years ago. WHAT ITS BEEN TWO YEARS HOLY

1:57 to 2:25 is also elite

1:07 - 1:20 is my favourite part. Weirdly enough, the footage of lions and a girl running is almost perfectly synchronised with the song

@@willowshake023 also elite
