This man is gonna be big, i can feel it. I believe in you Sloan! We all do!!!

This song plays at the grocery store I work at and I honestly couldn’t be happier every time it comes on 🤣

[cm_shadows]

I recognized how much the synth part resembles the intro on "What a Fool Believes" after he mentioned listening to the Doobie Brothers. Tasteful re-imagining

[crwd]

The amount of serotonin this brought me 😭😭😭😭

[darcabaniss]

I wish my younger brother was here so I can show him your music. Miss you Mathias.

The first time I heard the song, when the "JX-3p patch" came on, I instantly heard Van Halen 1984. Very cool video.

I am not having a good day, but with this I’m happy

This guy is a genius. This song is stuck in my head since it‘s been released and I still can‘t get enough of it. And probably never will! Thanks for this masterpiece

[dzuren]

So sick he's open to sharing stuff like these to all of us. Even though I'll never be able to make music like this, it's pretty interesting to me how he was able to create such a masterpiece!

I found this song with my girlfriend
On a little trip we had planned
We got hungry so we stopped at a snack bar
It was a nice sunny day
so while we were waiting for our raspas and tacos
i was hearing a beautiful song in the background during our conversation😆
And i asked google "what song is this"? and it popped up and saved it for the trip to listen to it properly while on the road and now i absolutely love "Close to you" is my hands down favorite masterpiece of music ever and first dayglow song that ill forever love!
So yeah thats how i found this beautiful music

This is what I love about production. You can have a simple song on the surface, 4 chords, but have all these layers going on which makes producing just unlimited fun. Love seeing this sort of stuff. Ps - you're a legend

[LetsGoTurner]

About 80% of this goes over my head, but I love watching Sloan talk about music he loves.

SLOAN
I love your music and thought it was SO cool when I found out you did it all yourself.. That's my dream as a songwriter/performer, and so I gave myself some homework to recreate some of your songs just as an incentive to get used to logic/programmable music, and I started trying to lay down a drum pattern and looked up if anyone had drum kit recommendations for if you wanted to sound like Dayglow, and THESE VIDEOS CAME UP AND BLEW MY MIND😳🥳🥺 You're the coolest artist and your music makes me so happy and the fact that you put stuff like THIS out there for people to see how it works just makes me appreciate your work so much more!! Thank you!!

wow when you realize how much hard work goes into these songs... we're so lucky to just listen for four minutes when these songs take them months
