That "sparkly" piano piece is probably my favourite aspect of this song.

Omg, trench is such an incredibly album, we need you in the new one please

We need Paul to come out on stage for this last album of the story. Bros the hidden SAUCE.

now im dying to hear the full demo version of Chlorine

the way tyler said "flavor" in the rap portion of the demo is just so good

We need one of these for every song Paul has produced

That piano loop is so beautiful, my favorite part of the song

Please do more of these. Trench is the greatest album of all time, and I want to be a producer myself, so I love watching stuff like this. Every single song on trench deserves a breakdown lasting 5 hours each.

I could watch this stuff all day. Trench is a master piece. Shoutout to Tyler and Paul

Super excited to hear your work on Clancy 🙏

"So where are you/It's been a while" turned into such a banger first impression for chlorine lmao

Ok can I just say... Can we get Paul & Tyler in this room!! Id love to see them hang out talk about the album.. Go over certain conversations they had discussing songs... 🙏😭 stories ect. Like how Paul does he.. But also with Tyler.... Damn!!!

definitely need a breakdown for the production of Morph!

paul meany breakdowns are the best thing that happened to humanity after bottled water.

Brilliant. Had NO idea Paul worked on this record. But it makes perfect sense! MUTEMATH is one of my favorite bands and am so happy that Paul's genius is reaching even more ears :)

the piano part is what makes the song so special.

What a masterpiece this song is. Paul is really like the hidden 3rd member of this band, he influences their sound so much in the coolest way.

I have no words for how much this delights and fascinates me. Thank you for using your talents to create such greatness and then taking us along for the ride. You and Tyler are both just SO talented and I hope you never stop collaborating. ❤️

This guy is responsible for the best TØP album. The texture of the whole thing is so grainy and addictive

Best album of all time. You made it amazing Paul.

a video like this, breaking down their songs, is something ive been wanting to see really badly since the making of vessel, when tyler quickly showed some demos. and to see it happening now ESPECIALLY with the making of trench, which is such an amazingly constructed album, just makes me so so so happy. this is like winning the lottery for my clikkie musician brain

This is what happens when two creatively genius, absolutely visionary artists and musicians come together. These two created this Trench utopia in which music, story, and emotion are being expressed like they never have before. Two of the most talented musicians and producers of our time in a room... get's us songs like Chlorine, Morph, Cut My Lip, Bandito, and Pet Cheetah. If we got Paul on the next TOP album, we're gonna have another album that leaves so many speechless.

Im a massive Paul Meany fan, and I just absolutely love how he is praising Tyler the whole time for his amazing lyrical talent, instead of making it all about himself. Hes such a humble guy. Love 21 Pilots, I Miss Mutemath 🥲

ONCE YOU WATCH ANY BREAKDOWN OF A SONG AND THE PRODUCER PLAYED EVERY SINGLE AUDIO IN IT. YOU'LL HEAR THEM WHEN LISTENING TO THE ORIGINAL AGUDIO AND IT IS THE MOST MAGICAL THING❤️

As both a real estate agent and home producer I absolutely loved that analogy 😂

Such a great production, this album is the album of my life, i love it!! Paul is such a badass!!

Paul Meany is a phenomenal musician, vocalist, writer and producer and as soon as I heard this song I spotted his signature. At first I thought that someone who is a Mutemath fan "borrowed" a little bit for this song. This video finally revealed who is behind this production and I am very pleased!

that outro might be the best moment on the whole record besides the beginnings of jumpsuit

Your production on the entire Album made it feel otherworldly. I'm so glad you are co-producing Clancy as well!

Paul is a melodic genius.

4:38 FOR THE THREE WHOLE YEARS I HEARD AND ADORED AND GOT EXTREMELY NOSTALGIC TO THIS SONG, I THOUGHT IT SAID “WHILE”

As an arist who records, mixes and masters myself, I really appreciate shit like this. Thank you for your time and vibe.

this is such a good look into how a production is really an ongoing process and not done in one sitting this was amazing. thank you.

This album hit at the perfect time in my life. I love seeing all the behind the scenes production.

WOW! Love this breakdown of the production process on Chlorine, Paul! Had no idea. My fav song on Trench and that’s largely due to the Outro which still makes me cry. 🥹The honesty of Tyler talking directly to us (I believe) after the 1 year hiatus that followed the huge commercial success of Stressed Out catapulted TØP into the limelight. One of my fav all-time TØP lyrics: “I’ve been tested like the end of a weathered flag that’s by the sea” followed by the deep “can you build my house…” Just brilliant. Great production job, guys. I love it even more, knowing all that went into it 👏

I'm beyond thankful, for this, and the work that you've done. Trench changed my life.

I don’t make music but I love learning how it is made. Makes me appreciate it more. Thanks for sharing!

I don't know if you worked on the production of Earth Suit but growing up, I loved it! I felt the musicality and sound was ahead of its time. Felt the genius.

this is my FAVORITE twenty one pilots song, it is so cool to see how it got put together, thank you so much!!

The outro is my favorite piece is chlorine, it’s so powerful and it makes you feel something, I love it

Chlorine and Leave the city both made me cry on the first listen, great job

Thanks for breaking this down! All the production on this album was awesome✌🏻

my blood next please, my favorite song ever. i’m so desperate to hear a breakdown. the sonic landscape of that song fascinates me

This series is awesome. That intro analogy is such a good and cool way to look at the job of a producer

Really a master at work. I think the way you produce drums and make them so crisp and fat without sounding over-produced is just so great

I love this. I love hearing the original demo parts too. Paul and Tyler are an awesome team

Trench is my favorite album of all time. I'm old and music is my life. Musically, lyrically, sonically, tone and vibe. Nothing compares to it to me. I have all the vinyl variants, signed CD's (would be cool to have your signature next to Tyler and Josh), the cassette...I'm legit with my love for Trench. I hope you are involved with whatever is next. I have a question Paul, are you still in Louisiana like me? I'd love to meet you, you made something that really impacted my life.

watching your process is unreal. love this kinda stuff!

Trench is an amazing album, and this is coming from an old guy whose musical wheelhouse is solidly early 1980s. I don’t know what you call it, but that “piano breakdown” chord sequence in Bandito just grabs me by the throat every time.

We need more of these!! Not only is this super interesting but it also inspires other musicians to continue working on their own stuff! Thank you Paul

Just found this today - super cool to see the other people who played a part in these albums - I always get in my head about making my own music - thinking that I have to be good at every part of the process - but it’s cool to see the strengths and weaknesses and how openness to collaboration creates creative flow! Love it!

as a musician obsessed w this album, thank you so so so much!

I'd love a breakdown for Redecorate, that instrumental has a very unique vibe. PD: Sorry for the bad english

These are invaluable secrets and I'm so thankful in so many levels man

Dude I love these production breakdowns, keep it up man!

So glad I was wearing my DT 770s when I found this 😭Tyler's pianos get me every time

Such a great and special song! Incredible work 👏👏

This is an amazing orchestration of layers, incredible vocal constructs, and blending analog with digital sounds resulting in extraordinary artwork. Well done Paul and TWP!

Thank you Paul!

Pet cheetah breakthrough would be awesome!

That was phenomenal! This not only makes me appreciate all the incredible work you, Tyler, and Josh are doing, but it also shows the world how much goes into making music. I don't think it gets recognized enough for the beautiful art you all create. Thank you!

I never knew a song could be so beautiful and have the sickest beat!

Love these breakdowns Paul! Please keep doing them. So much great insight into your process!

Wow the vocals on this alone!

Thank you so much for sharing this one. The production in this album is so so good. Would love to see more!

When I watched you with the TOP x MM session, you brought the unique dark vibes in the songs as well. Good to know that you collaborate with TOP with Trench. It will not gonna be perfect without you.

Please work on their next project closing out the DEMA storyline. We need your fingerprints all over it! Edit: I KNEW those piano texture effects at 5:10 were your doing! That makes the song.

Please. we need more of that!

i need breakdowns for every song!!! wowwww

thank you so much for posting these. please do more songs!!!

Love this song. Love this production. Thanks for making this video!!

These videos are awesome to see how much work goes into the production of this album! Hearing the unfiltered intro and the demo tape of Tyler's rap in particular was stunning. Seeing you sample that piano was super cool too. Your videos are an inspiration, Paul Meany.

How cool to see and hear some of the pieces and parts that made up this song. I loved hearing all the layers broken down and then put back together. Absolute Audible Masterpiece!!

please, keep doing this breakdowns. This is amazing

Absolutely loving these looks into how the songs ultimately came together. You're all freaking geniuses and I respect you so much.

Omg! Please continue!!❤❤❤❤

I'm so happy Paul is doing more of these breakdowns. So much fun and so educational from a musician and producer I really respect.

Amazing! I love those breakdown videos, wish we could see more :D

Love this kind of breakdown, especially from Trench. It’s such a fantastic album!

this makes me too happy, thank you for sharing another song off the album. It's like getting to see the brush strokes on your favorite painting.

Seeing this is wonderful given that Trench in my favorite record ever, and I listened to a bunch of records. Great inspiration for young artists! Thanks Paul, you’re amazing!! ❤

I really enjoyed watching this Paul. Keep up the great work

So insightful and fascinating! Love these, definitely hope there's more!

This is really inspiring. Thanks for putting this together.

You guys are on another plane of talent, thank you for sharing it with us

Paul, more please! This is incredible!

Paul, this is fascinating. Trench is my all time favorite album, and I love learning about all the production that went into it. Please keep making these! I would love to have a series with every song getting its' own video.

I would watch a thousand hours of this. More please Paul!

PLEASE MORE OF THIS IS JUST AMAZING

Hearing the breakdown makes me love this song even more. Didn’t think that was possible.

What an awesome video. Thankyou for doing this

This is such a dream video, I just love these production brealdowns! Keep it up!

Production on this album is unmatched. Thanks for this video!!! ❤

Paul this is so interesting to watch! Please do more breakdowns!

Thank you! Its so cool it see the Behind the Scenes, would love to see more and longer videos of any TØP productions

This was incredible to watch. Growing up, MuteMath was my favorite band. To see the amazing stuff you do with other artists is truly awesome 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Please do more. It’s a bless to see this pure magic.

Man we really hope to see you on the new project 🔥

i love you so much please do more of these they inspire me so much

Chlorine is one of my favorite songs of all time, thank you Paul!
