“Not too emotional cause we in a field, we don’t wanna cry when we’re in a field” - Shady Cicada 2020

[@williamstoneman6977]

Shady now needs to make a sad boi hours song for an even sadder field

[@YourVinished]

Desert After Tears begs to differ

[@JonSkull03]

Unrelated to this video entirely, but are you hype for Silksong?

[@sploingo664]

Why is your pfp the most annoying enemy in Hollow Knight

@@sploingo664 you mean the tastiest snack right?

[@DisturbedShad0w]

I'd love to hear a fully finished version of this one day.

Oh god... He's getting stronger!

[@hibacilacle2609]

Congrats on finally using a mouse after constantly complaining about trackpa- wait nvm you went back

[@allooutrick8266]

I think these making the thing in 10 minute videos are great for aspiring musicians. Many people think you need inspiration and to think it on the spot. While that can happen, here you're showing experience and approaching the song with a theme and plans in mind are possible.

[@audbee14]

I totally agree

[@L09ANA]

Me too

[@hanaatnight6739]

I would gladly cry in a field Just saying...

[@chatfulness03]

I'd much rather cry in a field than in a lot of other places.

[@neohybridkai]

Me too but I'll do it while running aimlessly

[@soloriyeovin5011]

Yeah I’d gladly join you

[@5gonza541]

I prefer to cry on my pillow, already used to it 😂😓😰😄

[@SeanJohnson1021]

Midna's lament? Had me bawling.. couldn't stop crying. Yeah I'd gladly cry in a field

[@mesebasterisk]

I thought that the title said "Garfield theme" and that Shady had gone nuts. Edit: WE NEED THIS, CICADA MAN.

[@columbus8myhw]

Request

[@tingcraft3920]

Ya we need this

[@NanaDoesArt]

Shady your zelda bias is showing Also i really like this song it's chill

[@wimpywater]

I could hear the Twilight Princess Hyrule Field theme in there

[@startheperson8610]

*Zegend

[@tokiWren]

@@wimpywater same rhythm, yep

[@KieraQ0323]

From the 2nd note.

[@casiolamb]

Off brand Twilight Princess is my absolute favourite.

[@leeroyjenkns5182]

Has anyone seen this man stream composing? Or do these videos just spawn into the simulation?

[@fuef8607]

He doesn’t compose on stream anymore, at least for now.

[@apacheattackhelicopter5823]

a crack in the simulation?!?

[@josepheddy8519]

He has before

[@jingliyuan8772]

I remember barely missing his death screen song.

[@EggCheesePastreem]

You should make a song in My singing monsters composer

[@IzanaKunigiri]

for a 10 minute challenge, I feel like this is outstandingly well done. If thought of as a full piece, it does feel like it's missing something, But theres only so much someone can do in 10 and this is damn well done.

[@TheRealGirlWeeb]

A Touhou-like boss theme in 10 minutes (or without time limit, idk?

[@xYuki217x]

YES PLEASE, that would be awesome!

[@grass324]

PLEASE LET THIS HAPPEN

[@karenbonds264]

6:43 The trek to find the Hidden City of the Ancients was a long one. You and the Freedom Fighters, in their search for this mythical place, left the familiarity of the Great Forest, past the now quiet towers of Robotropolis, and through many other lands finally found yourselves at the entrance to a large field of knee-high grass. A few trees dotted the plains, as well as a few fuzzy moss covered mounds scattered here and there. Overlooking the scene in the distance is a vast mountain. "The Hidden City is nearby," Your Overlander ally says, "If we can just get over to the mountain..." "Not a problem!" Your close Freedom Fighter partner replies, "We made it this far!" You agree to that statement the most danger you encountered were some stray robots here and there. However, you had a uneasy feeling in your gut every time you glance at the strange moss mounds. It's just nerves, you tell yourself. Shaking aside the feeling, you stood up, "Well, what are we waiting for?" You say, mimicking the confidence of your partner, "We got fields to cross and a mountain to climb!" The Freedom Fighters set out into the field, but as you take one last glimpse of the strange mounds, you can't help but notice that they seem to be...moving...

[@ashuto2025]

Bruh, that's really good, i'd play that RPG lol

[@BonaparteBardithion]

More fun than Dark Brotherhood! (Which I never actually finished...)

[@celeryguy3631]

This song was quite Squimbibbulous

[@3th4nP31ff3r]

If I had my own video game design company, I’d hire you for music in a heartbeat.

[@elijahdiaz5914]

At exactly 4:20 Shady becomes Thwomp from Mario

[@soloriyeovin5011]

Made me laugh, thank you

[@KayrBayr13]

You were very squimbipous this time! Good song!

[@DennGreenIII]

This was probably your best 10 minute song. This one deserves a full version.

[@theopreston8507]

Man i could totally roll around in a field to that bop

[@everthon2457]

I'd rather ride something

[@vd652]

Sooo.... Will we get a song out of people crying in a field in 10 minutes?

[@trialbystone2532]

"ShadyCicada accidentally discovers how to compose like Junichi Nakatsuru."

[@roastedlemon]

Finally he's back to doing the 10-minute challenges, I love the series, this is what brought me to his channel.

[@juliawright14]

6:39 i see that pinach and sinclaire art in the corner!

[@ElliotBouriot]

I really like the lead in this one, I like how melodious it gets, the little squiggly strings of notes sing very prettily ! I hope your life is going okay and that you're having fun :D

[@name6770]

Pinach and Sinclair in the corner *pog*

[@Wingingvoice]

Shady is secretly making a game for all these songs to go into

[@vicjaxon4474]

Prodject luca lol and Prodject X

[@anrikurisuto4432]

Its not a secret if everyone knows :P

I love your music, makes me happy

[@damisterboss357]

Nobody: So Shady what would you do differently in this video? Shady: Yes

[@boone99999]

_"instead of doing a build-up, we do a build down"_ you did do a good job, and I like the Phrygian chord added.

[@thegamingraboot1164]

This channel is basically the ' Awww sh*t here we go again' meme

[@caznat8599]

Hey! Im a bit late, but I loved it! Keep it up :D

[@oof7777]

5:28 oh hey it's pinach and sinclaire

[@grizzlyrider6original70]

Yes your back being the music 3 2 1 0:44

[@PersonMan000]

I ain't never seen music been made before but this was amazing. Song feels nostalgic and I never even heard it before.

[@nikitademodov3446]

Doing "neutral" songs like this one is really difficult to me. Does anyone have any tips?

[@ashuto2025]

No.

[@Z-R0_]

I wish I did

[@cactusguy4363]

Define "neutral"

[@omniscientomnipresent5500]

If you want neutral, use microtonality ! C neutral !!

[@etooamill9528]

If it sound good you are doing OK

[@andrewfaraday8918]

I'm 3 minutes into this vid and it's definitely WAY too intense for a field theme.

[@guillet.8962]

This is the most anxiety-inducing field I've ever been to

[@dragonkitty7519]

Woop, a bit late but I've arrived! Edit: oooh wait this sounds quite interesting! If you ever feel like it you could expand on this, you've got a good base!

[@juliawright14]

idk what you mean i frequently cry in fields... anyways this is a banger 10/10 would listen to again

[@HotSauceBear]

3:12 I see that sneaky Pinach and Sinclaire... I guess you're just allergic to closing tabs or something, huh?

[@korcl2983]

I love how he just has random stress induced strokes sprinkled throughout his videos.

[@potionoconfusion8686]

You make songs in ten minutes that I could listen to for hours

[@enternamehere1095]

This is like Strike the Earth in the sense that a level one theme shouldn’t slap this hard

[@Cyrotech]

Frick yes I needed this today

[@shii76]

Dude my youtube just auto quality'd to 1080p and I am so happy

[@ablynn_thegalewinds]

Take it from a wind player, that’s plenty of space to breathe. That’s actually... quite a lot of breathing space. The phrasing is very lung-friendly

[@Kyte_Zephyr]

I loved blight you did good with that one for sure knocked it clean out of the park.

[@skytiburon]

E is the best note Also shady thank you so much for your music it has been a great inspiration for me when I make my series

[@Wynonyn]

this feels like it could be the start to a normal battle theme.

[@collin4555]

Absolutely nailed it, I can feel this music propelling me towards the next story beat

[@pyraswolf4263]

it sounds epic, like a final fantasy field theme

[@MemeIord]

Imagine he had more than 10 minutes for this. Vote for a version with unlimited time to make an even greater masterpiece out of it. Edit: Great, now that song has been stuck in my head. ...and I love it.

[@xenomorph6599]

Ngl this is one of my favorites of yours, and that's saying a lot because I like all your music

[@Neppiko]

Stupid Challenge#1: Make a song where the second half is a reverse of the first half.

[@Shadycicada]

I actually did that! Try searching "shady cicada reverse metal" :)

[@andreleblanc2833]

This sounds an awful lot like the newer pmd games' songs and it really made me want to play them

[@lewush]

My favorite series is BACK

[@numero7mojeangering]

I'd love to play a video game with your musics in it.

[@tyronbaek6518]

I love your stuff Shady :D Your songs are always a bop

[@SeanJohnson1021]

Shady.. keep being you. You're awesome.

[@TheFurrball96]

Can the official title for these be “Making the thing in 10 minutes”?

[@airiquelmeleroy]

AAAHHHHH I wanted a remastered version soooo baaad

[@SteampunkWyrm]

*happy field dancing*

[@nightrous3026]

Gees those strings are loud. Also the trick to making something sound epic, is to use mainly fifths and fourths.

[@ionarevamp]

This song sounds like something I'd hear in Skies of Arcadia

[@swsamp8397]

thank you for uploading!

[@mirjimcstinky8701]

Pretty good considering it was in only 10 minutes. I'd like to see this if you had more time! It'd be awesome!!!

[@woofwoofdonut3229]

Hi! I recently found your channel and I just to want to say I think you're super cool! You've quickly become one of my favorite channels and even if I'm not into music at all your videos are incredibly entertaining. Not only that, your music is something I really vibe to and it's helped my inspiration as a writer a lot

[@chroni3659]

Take off the time limit! It can be a fun challenge and make for funny, panicky voice lines, but it only held you back this time. We watch these videos to see you write a song, but a lot of what we saw here was just lazy songwriting because you were so pressured by the time constraint. You edit out the boring stuff anyways, so there’s really not a downside to giving yourself more time to write a decent song. Aside from having more footage to edit. Hope you’re doing okay in these hard times, Shady

[@Scuffed2520]

Lmaoo more like boss music? I feel like I'm about to throw hands in this field

[@bluekanz9817]

*The legend of Zegend*

[@MrMontugar]

I love how Cicada is scared to resolve the melody due to the time constraint so he keeps the melody up in the air between phrases. Leads to a very uneasy feeling .

[@Tr0lliPop]

I got an idea for a name for this challenge: "time signature" its an actual term in music theory and the challenge is about doing stuff in a limited timespan so

[@shuemusic]

Some comments basically saying: “oh my god so good!” Me: it’s been *3 minutes* stfu

[@allooutrick8266]

They probably just skip to the end.

[@hamsteronacomputer6692]

It's shady. They're making an evidence based prediction.

[@Orkunkadunk]

How do you always end up making boss music?

[@justinlipkin]

More please!

[@fricc3824]

shadys back. back again

[@LordAdriox]

The series should be called ‘Shady Attempts’

[@EK_Archive_1]

So, in the dictionary of the dark weeb: Squimbibbis is "i dunno" in intense,nervous wheezing? *I'LL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK*

I enjoy these. :)

What's the song he's using in the outro? I can't quite remember

I think it's one of his songs called "The First Step"
