Jack is one of those music makers that I’d love to just sit and silently observe him practicing his craft. He’s so fascinating to me.

@KYLETISZAI Ай бұрын

I really want to work with him. I think he would turn me into the next Taylor Swift. How do I get in a room w him??

There's something magical about witnessing someone like Jack speak so passionately about his work and craft. As a Bleachers fan since 2014 it doesn't get much better than this

I think the sonic reminiscence of Bruce Springsteen is one of the reasons why I love Bleachers so much, it takes me right back to my dad putting on Springsteen's records during my childhood.

@jimcasso407 Ай бұрын

Yup! Jack Antonoff is exactly the person I was hoping he was. Authentic, honest, grounded, insightful, intelligent, emotional, aware, highly artistic, and just plain real. No wonder his music and productions speak to me. Awesome interview!

Jack is like someone I grew up with who got famous that I've never met. Pride in the Jersey punk scene, pizza, bagels, and music. I wish I had the courage to rep Jersey the way he does.

To hear sounds and turn them into the things he does is amazing. His job is my dream. I wanted a long form video that showed parts of his process. Thank you Zane, Jack, & Apple Music.

This interview was very insightful and inspiring. And what a wonderful creative space to work in. The comparison of New York and NewJersey is very interesting, too. Similar in some ways, very different in others. I have never been in either place and want to experience that now. Creators and writers always inspire me to create and write. It is cool how that happens. Thank you Zane for another stellar interview. You are ALWAYS prepared and ask the most interesting questions. Even if you stray from the topic a bit it is always relevant to the conversation as a whole. That is also an art that few do as well as you. Thanks man!!!!!

I discovered Jack when watching The Format: Live at the Mayan Theater DVD, where he had a brief interview about helping out for the show, where he said The Format was great because its "weird circus music". He was in Steel Strain at that moment. Then later when fun. absolutely blew up, it was like seeing a struggling local music friend (who I never met) finally get their break after being on of the most loved musicians of other musicians for 20 years. I never really got into Bleachers but still love fun. and The Format... Hadn't realized Jack had become this staple of production for a bunch of massively famous artists until recent videos. I just love knowing someone actually got through all the BS of this career choice and made it out the other side.

My friends (and spotify) literally think I'm insane for only listening to Bleachers exclusively between 2016-2019, and now clinging once again to the self titled album... and watching this interview how can you blame me?!?!?

Ok so I absolutely love him as an artist... but his discussion about Shivah (sp) and trauma, etc etc... it was something so unexpected. This is where I am like oh wow I would love to hear more about what he has to say as a human - not as an artist only. He has said so much here that reminded me about my grief when my momma died. (Taking a pause and breathing to process his words)
