Favorite Odd Sounds / Subtleties In Jon Songs

[Kinnertr0n]

So Jon has a lot of background instruments, sounds, melodies, and other odd sounds (one-off kinds of sounds) and a-typical methods of adding rhythm and instrumentation that show up in his music to flavor that ish and give it some love and spice.

I’m wondering what y’all’s favorite ones are

Some examples to give an idea of what I’m thinking of (but also take this however you want):

• the synth spotted throughout blu that adds that falling melody
• the flutter in Weight of the World (can be heard at 0:29) (also if anyone knows what instrument that is I’d be much obliged to a revelation)
• the lacking of drums throughout the majority of CWMW
• Jon going “clap clap, clap clap so what” in Ungrateful Eyes or “built them with my own two hands” in Two Rocking Chairs as a call and response
• the brief little intros in songs like JT, Eyes to the Sky, Run Wild, A Haunted House, and many more
• the all-too-short-but-just-long-and-saucy-enough-to-make-me-never-not-think-about-it guitar solo in the last 30 seconds of 80s Films

Very broad context here. Take it as you will. But this guy has a nice spice rack in his pantry and I want to know which ones you love.

i definitely think the "YEE" in the chorus of guillotine is my all time favorite JB sound

@GabbyW0205 my favorite part is when he goes “money and bitches blah, blah, yeah, yeah”

@its_nat07 YESSSS EYES TO THE SKY APPRECIATION. I love that part

[its_nat07]

dude yesss that little guitar flutter thing in Weight Of The World is sooo cool and adds so much
i also love the beginning of Ungrateful Eyes—that little himalayan-esque yell

@Isaac IT’S JUST CATCHYY

[Isaac]

So not a song of his, but it's like the most Bellion-esque thing he's done in a song, on "shine on" by Tori Kelly he goes like, "wuh wuh wuh wuh wuh wuh wuh" on the first part of the chorus, and then goes "WOO. WOO. WOO. WOO" on the second part.

It's very good

@its_nat07 LOL exactly

[JotchE]

The beginning of "Want To Be Loved" and really the whole song has a whole bunch of quirky sounds that fit just right!

[Kinnertr0n]

@Isaac yes! Haha I love that song and that part

[Kinnertr0n]

@hkretzer that will forever be a sound stuck in my head

[Zeonder]

probably honestly just like his voice overall.. i still remember the cryptic tweet and delete days when he tweeted he was done using his voice in music as a means to develop into a more professional sound and i was distraught to say the least... luckily that never happened because man his voice in the songs is some of the dopest parts and best ways to tell he had his hands in a track after its been altered so much in some cases
