[@AuthorSharuru]

DaGames don't even need to ask, we are constantly being proud of their masterpieces

[@TheOfficialSlythLife]

Agreed

[@ota6216]

Yes

[@Exe3D1ts]

Fax

[@dannycleto1491]

True

[@felpex3829]

Exactly

[@Tiagx]

"Are you proud of me now?" is something that just SCREAMS Bendy vibes like the "The Creator lied to us" and "He will set us free" written on the walls and all those stuff, same energy and I LOVE that

[@loganentertainment1814]

Yes indeed. 😀👍

[@_Funniman]

I think there is a deeper meaning in this song. I noticed that most of the lyrics point towards being tired, overwhelmed, and always being needed for something. I believe Will is telling us how we the community can be exausting and frustrating at times. I also believe this is (probably) a farewell message to the BATIM community. It's like a BATIM version of "This Comes From Inside".

[@jonahaevee1059]

Not to mention, on the door there was the pandorica symbol from his other series.

[@Hedgee_]

And with the other imagery of Audrey dragging the Ink Machine with a chain, and the Ink Demon pulling her back / away from the door with the Pandorium logo

[@djamtz]

I still love double-meaning nerdcore song that can technically be mistaken for radio songs

[@Sacred_Sword]

That's exactly what I was thinking when I first watched this.

[@Zekron88]

I think the whole deal with Shot Down by the Mirror is also a huge part of the meaning behind this song. It's like they can't do songs on other franchises because it's not BATIM because that's what the audience wants only, at least that is how it probably feels. I hope people will show more support for the rest of the DAGames library.

[@milleniumonion7223]

I have no clue why, but I kinda love a bunch of these "im a tired creator and im going to express that frustration while sticking to the prompt" songs. Like, theres still that same effort even if its the end/a vent, and it feels more real, probably because the emotion behind it is real, but still can apply to the media they are talking about

[@gabrielthegamingking3628]

The game: dark, gloomy, probably fits best with a metal song. The song: upbeat, funky, electro swing, still an absolute bop that somehow fits. HOW!?

[@karalech]

DAGames knows how to surprise, doesn't he?

[@gabrielthegamingking3628]

@@karalech yeah, especially since he said at the end of his BATDR series that a song for this game wouldn’t be electro swing. Wonder what made him change his mind on that.

Legends is back!!!!

[@zatderpscout6017]

I can’t help but see inspiration from Sisyphus’s punishment in Greek mythology with Audrey being forced to endlessly drag the ink machine

[@hated_lover32]

Glad to see that I'm not the only mythology nut who thought of that.

[@the24thcoolguyinhistory]

and when she gets to the highest level the machine drops back down to the lowest floor

[@ch3z5t1x8]

One must imagine Audrey happy

[@meepandmeepyfamilyvideos2850]

ch3z that's the funniest thing I've ever heard

[@violetwave25]

When you think about it, the title of this song can be interprated in many different ways First and foremost, as Will talking to his audience and asking us if we're proud of his work despite it not being exactly what we asked for (which the answer is, obviously, yes) But it also applies to all the main character of BATDR: Audrey, daughter and heir of Joey Drew, looking for her place in the world and trying to bring back the glory days of the crooked empire her father left for her behind him Wilson, son of Nathan Arch, director of Archgate, a flourishing enterprise, who always lived in his father's shadow and wished to one day look up to him and become his equal And finally, the Ink Demon itself. First creation and "son" of Joey Drew, deemed as imperfect and cast away in the darkness, slowly becoming insane due to isolation, and only wanting to be loved

Lyrics with japanese: 歌詞の日本語訳を書いてみた You've heard this all before 君も全部聞いたことがあるだろう I'm sat still staring at paper 私は紙とにらめっこしながら座っている There's things behind the page for later 後にとっておいてあるものがページの裏にあるんだ Oh I've grown tired ああ、もう疲れてしまった Drinking senselessly and wild ただヤケになって飲み散らかして I've been yearning for surprise 驚くようなことがないかあくびでもしていたら And now they've caught me in this chamber この部屋に閉じ込められた There's new profanity displayed 彼らがレバーを引くたびに As they pull on the lever また新しく罰当たりな言葉が現れる So they made our homes filled with deceivers それで我が家が嘘つきだらけになっていった Oh it's gone too long ああ、時間がかかりすぎている The machine was built too strong マシンはあまりにも強く作られていた Now it seeps through my core 今は私の芯まで染みわたり And keeps me held to inky craters この真っ黒なクレーターに閉じ込められている (Make me feel alive) 生きている実感がする Lies 嘘 Lies 嘘 It was pain on the wall それは壁に塗られた痛みだ The size of this beating heart この大きな鼓動が Takes us all back down again またみんなを堕としていく I reopened memories 私は記憶を取り戻した You stood and took the bow あなたはお辞儀をした Are You Proud Of Me Now? 今、私を誇りに思ってくれていますか (We want you 君が欲しい we want you here to work for us right now) 今すぐここで我々のために働いてほしい I worked hard to walk away from here ここから抜け出すために頑張って来た Are You Proud Of Me Now? 誇りに思ってくれますか (We need you 君が必要だ we need to show you've not moved on right now) 今すぐ君が行っていないか見せてもらわなくては I sank deep you stuck me on repeat 深く沈んで何度もあなたに貼り付けられる Are You Proud Of Me Now? 今、あなたは私を誇りに思ってくれていますか Want you here 君が欲しい Need you here 君が必要だ Need to show you've got more work 君にもっと仕事があることを見せなければ Right now 今すぐ Work work work right 今すぐ Work work right now now 今すぐ取り掛かるんだ They want me here 彼らは私を欲しがっている They need me here 彼らは私を必要としている They have to show me I've got work right now 彼らは私が今すぐ仕事に取り掛かるように示そうとしている Deceived by carnal horns 肉に飢えたツノに惑わされ Ripping organs out by the cleavers クリーバーで内臓を引きずり出される Too soon to say I'm a believer まだ私が信じているというには早すぎる Oh how I tried ああ、どんなに試しても To get lost when worlds collided 世界が食い違うところで迷ってしまう Find my own way once decided to get off the ground 私が一度決めた道を見つけるために飛び立った But you dragged me down でもあんたに引きずり降ろされた How's my family? 私の家族は？ Where's my sanity? 私の正気は？ Better never knowing when the cavernous reality 虚ろな現実には気が付かない方がいい Settles in 落ち着いても I won't win 勝てるわけじゃない Can't begin to tell you everything's a lie 何もかも嘘だと言ったところで何も始まらない And I'm a victim of insanity 私は狂気の犠牲者だ Leaving me to rot to absorb what soon is lost じきに失うもののために私を腐らせていく Hoping unity 団結が Brings me community 共同体を作り上げると願って Hoping on a pipe dream never to redeem 私が生きている実感を感じられなくなったら When they stop making me feel alive 決して報われない無いものねだりにしがみついて (We want you 君が欲しい We want you here to work for us right now) 今すぐここで我々のために働いてほしい (We need you 君が必要だ We need to show you've not moved on right now) 今すぐ君が行っていないか見せてもらわなくては (We want you 君が欲しい We want you here to work for us right now) 今すぐここで我々のために働いてほしい (We need you we need you we need you) 君が必要だ　君が必要だ　君には You've not moved on 行かれたら困るんだ Lies 嘘 Lies 嘘 It was pain on the wall それは壁に塗られた痛みだ The size of this beating heart この大きな鼓動が Takes us all back down again またみんなを堕としていく I reopened memories 私は記憶を取り戻した You stood and took the bow あなたはお辞儀をした Are You Proud Of Me Now? 今、私を誇りに思ってくれていますか (We want you 君が欲しい we want you here to work for us right now) 今すぐここで我々のために働いてほしい I worked hard to walk away from here ここから抜け出すために頑張って来た Are You Proud Of Me Now? 誇りに思ってくれますか (We need you 君が必要だ we need to show you've not moved on right now) 今すぐ君が行っていないか見せてもらわなくては I sank deep you stuck me on repeat 深く沈んで何度もあなたに貼り付けられる Are You Proud Of Me Now? 今、あなたは私を誇りに思ってくれていますか (We want you 君が欲しい We want you here to work for us right now) 今すぐここで我々のために働いてほしい I played nicely for the longest time 私は長いこといい子ぶってきた Are You あなたは Proud Of 私を Me Now? 誇りに思いますか？ (We need you 君が必要だ we need to show you've not moved on right now) 今すぐ君が行っていないか見せてもらわなくては The dark secrets have deprived me of light 暗い秘密が私から光を奪った And I'll find it down below そして私が下で見つけてみせる Want you here 君が欲しい Need you here 君が必要だ Need to show you've got more work 君にもっと仕事があることを見せなければ Right now 今すぐ Work work work right 今すぐ Work work right now now 今すぐ働くんだ They want me here 彼らは私を欲しがっている They need me here 彼らは私を必要としている They have to show me I've got work right now 彼らは私が今すぐ仕事に取り掛かるように示そうとしている I paid the toll for staying dormant 眠っていた分のツケを払ってきた By the side of the curb again また縁石の横で Come and flow with me 私と流れに乗って Close your eyes and you will see 目を閉じればあなたもわかる He brought us all to die again 彼が私たちをみんな死なせるために集めたんだと Are You Proud Of Me Now? あなたは誇りに思ってくれていますか？ You stood and took the bow... あなたはお辞儀をした・・・ Are you proud of me now? 私を誇りに思ってくれていますか？

[@Hinoki_98]

Nah you need more likes for your hard work XP

[@jaydeesc2812]

After listening to the song many times since its release, I couldn't help but go back to one of Will's older videos from over 6 years ago, back before Gospel of Dismay was released, when he made a quick vlog expressing his worries regarding the song and how it would impact the way his content is perceived. To clarify, Will worried that Gospel would contribute to a negative stigma that he is only known for his Bendy stuff, while his original work is ignored. He was reassured by many people that such a thing wouldn't happen. Then... the absolute cataclysm that was the pre-release to Instruments of Cyanide. I'll never forget it. I was like 12 or 13 when it all went down. Constant, obssesive comments demanding the song be released, inconsiderate *ssholes leaking early versions of it, and even somebody going out of their way to threaten calling the cops on Will if he didn't release the song!!! It was an absolute catastrophe, and all of it culminated in a short stream, where Will rightfully called out this horrid behaviour. Now, here we are, all these years later, and the lyrics of this new song speak VOLUMES to me. This is just my own interpretation, but I can see the amount of frustration and fatigue expressed here. While I myself am not a proffesional musician, I can understand the anger one tends to feel when they are constantly seen as a one-trick pony. It is hugely demoralizing and exhausting, and it makes one feel like they are always stagnant and unable to evolve. If this truly is your last Bendy, or fandom, song in general, Will, I just want you to know that you are amazing at your craft and I am excited to see where you go from here! Things are certainly looking up!

I think almost 8 years now but yeah 7 years of Listening to DAGames since 2015 😊😊

[@genericfriend2568]

Close to 8 here, I found Will in middle school.

[@thegaminggamer2896]

i've just realised i've been here for a 8 years as well all the way back to time to die and flumpty jam jeez

[@Vexiled]

In this portion of the song at 2:02 "(We want you, we want you here to work for us right now We need you, we need to show you've not moved on right now We want you, we want you here to work for us right now We need you, we need you, we need you You've not moved on) Lies, lies, it was pain on the walls (Moved on, moved on, on right now) The size of this beating heart takes us all back down again (Moved on, moved on, on right now) I reopened memories (Moved on, moved on, on right now) You stood and took the bow Are you proud of me now?" The animation shows a inky figure in a white abyss reaching out to a door labelled with the HVMN sigil (I believe that was the name), which is Will Ryan's personal work in the form of short stories, but the door is then covered in ink and a lock surrounded by the shape of Bendy's face "You've not moved on" is to signify that no matter how hard he tries to make his work personal, he can't move past what truely started his career, making songs for games that caused his own personal works to get suffocated His original works need to be listened to, and not just his game works, it's a shame very few care enough to do so

[@Chillipeffer]

He's worn out

[@t1m3_t0_v1b3]

I personally love any song he makes

[@FrostTiger80]

So whole song is a metaphor to Will's personal feeling you think?

[@HuziBoy111]

listen to your mine by him you will die laughing​@@Chillipeffer

[@TheLastSelkis]

And he's literally anchored to "what makes me feel alive". The song is deeply sad.

[@zacharyrosemann]

"you stood and took the bow, are you proud of me now?" Oh Will, we've always been proud of you Absolutely fantastic song man, it's a nice blend of every Bendy song that has come before it and a perfect end to the Bendy era of DAGames

[@Jacks0n666]

BRO I SAW THIS COMMENT AS SOON AS THE LINE STARTED WHAT THE F-CK.

1:43 When Will popped off here in this part, it gave me GOOSEBUMPS.

From “Build Our Machine “ To “Are You Proud of Me Now?” The ride was fun to experience

[@CartooriesMusic]

*Lyrics* [Verse 1] You've heard this all before, I'm sat still staring at paper! There's things behind the page for later Oh, I've grown tired! Drinking senselessly and wild! I've been yearning for surprise! And now they've caught me in this chamber... OOOH! There's new profanity displayed, as they pull on THE LEVER! So they made our homes filled with deceivers! Oh, it's gone too long! The machine was built too strong! Now it seeps through my core! And keeps me held to Inky CRATERS! (Make me feel ALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!) [Pre-Chorus] LIES! LIES! It was pain on the wall! The SIZE of this beating HEART takes us all Back Down Again... I reopened MEMORIES! You stood and took the BOW! [Chorus 1] Are You Proud Of Me Now? (We want you, we want you here to work for us! Right now!) Oooh I worked HARD to walk away from here! Are You Proud Of Me Now? (We need you, we need to show you've not moved on! Right now!) Oooh I sank DEEP, you stuck me on repeat! Are You Proud Of Me Now...? [Post-Chorus] (Want you here, need you here) (Need to show you've got more work) (RIGHT NOW! WORK WORK WORK! RIGHT! WORK WORK, RIGHT NOW NOW!) Oooh! They want me here, they need me here! They have to show me I've got work! Right now! [Verse 2] Deceived by carnal horns, ripping organs out by the cleavers! Too soon to say I'm a believer Oh, how I tried! To get lost when worlds collided Find my own way once decided to *Get off the Ground!* BUT YOU DRAGGED ME DOOOWN!!! HOW'S MY FAMILY? WHERE'S MY SANITY? BETTER NEVER KNOWING WHEN THE CAVERNOUS REALITY! SETTLES IN, I WON'T WIN! CAN'T BEGIN TO TELL YOU EVERYTHING'S A LIE! AND I'M A VICTIM OF INSANITY!!! Leaving me to rot, to absorb what soon is lost Hoping! UNITY! Brings me! COMMUNITY! Hoping on a PIPE DREAM NEVER TO REDEEM!!! When they stop making me feel ALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE! [Bridge] (We want you, we want you here to work for us, right now) (We need you, we need to show you've not moved on, right now) (We want you, we want you here to work for us, right now) (We need you, we need you! We need you!) *You've not moved on* [Pre-Chorus] LIES! (Moved on!) LIES! (Moved on!) It was pain on the wall! (On right now!) The SIZE (Moved on!) of this beating HEART (Moved on!) takes us all back (On right now!) Down AGAIN...! (Moved on! Moved on!) I reopened MEMORIES! (On right now) You stood and took the BOW! [Chorus 2] ARE YOU PROUD OF ME NOW? (We want you, we want you here to work for us! Right now!) OH! I worked HARD to walk away from here! ARE YOU PROUD OF ME NOW? (We need you, we need to show you've not moved on! Right now!) OH! I sank DEEP, you stuck me on repeat! ARE YOU PROUD OF ME NOW? (We want you, we want you here to work for us! Right now!) OH-OH! I played nicely for the longest time! ARE YOU! PROUD OF! ME! NOOOW? (We need you, we need to show you've not moved on! Right now!) The dark secrets have deprived me of light! AND I'LL FIND IT DOWN BELOOOOOOOOOOW! [Post-Chorus] (Want you here, need you here) (Need to show you've got more work) (RIGHT NOW! WORK WORK WORK! RIGHT! WORK WORK, RIGHT NOW NOW!) Oooh! They want me here, they need me here! They have to show me I've got work! Right now! [Outro] Yeah, yeah, yeah! YEAH! I paid the toll for staying dormant! By the side of the Curb AGAAAIN...! Come and flow with me! Close your eyes and you will see! He brought us all to DIE! AGAAAAAIN! Are You Proud Of Me Now...? *_You stood and took the bow, are you proud of me now...?_*

@@CartooriesMusichow long did this take

[@CartooriesMusic]

@@Jackerburker Huh I don't remember, it's almost a year since this comment... But being that I put this lyrics without knowing all the lyrics (for example the "We want you, we want you here to work for us right now!") DAGames doesn't put lyrics in that part and I didn't understand what it said. SO when all the lyrics were officially released, I updated this comment. :)

[@TheWillieA]

God... I don't think a song could have made me feel even worse after SDBTM (Shot Down By The Mirror), But I was sorely mistaken. Hope your doing well will, as much as I love these franchises... I came here to listen to a song, Another artist made a label. People make art to commemorate that label, And people (Including myself) demand more. I had already seen the stress this franchise had put you under, But holy shit. I really was not expecting something so raw! We are all proud of you Will, all of us who have stayed here. Walk wherever you desire, Some will follow, others won't. But at the end, I'm just acting as your own thought process aren't I... You've spoke about this on multiple occasions. I'll be wherever you decide to stay and create your art. Whether you stay on bantermation, keep DAGames, Or even your own stuff (which you still do, even with algorithmic pressure). I'm here Will. Even if this comment makes me sound like a stalker. This comment amounts to fuckin nothing to you as I've seen this sentament being echod a lot. Godspeed Will, You're doing Gods work.

[@crazyakira1222]

Do I even need to say anything? This song is like always, a bop! Will, you're just the best! You help persons through tough times, and make masterpieces, but aren't nearly thanked enough...so I'll do it. On the behalf of everyone of your fans, THANKS FOR EXISTING WILL!❤️❤️❤️

It’s crazy what crap they have on the radio and such when you have these beautiful pieces of REAL music It doesn’t matter whether your number 1 artist or hardly anybody knows you, it’s the heart in the music that matters, and no matter what, Dagames puts a whole lotta heart into their music

[@djamtz]

Yeah cuz you know the music industry is corporated to play the same songs over yet honestly I would like to hear this on the radio since it is better but then imagine the cost it would take with record labels so there`s good in this freedom just nerdcore songs can still count for songs with deep meaning and feelings you can understand

[@StarLightFilmProductions]

Fr like just the other day my dad had to turn off the radio in his truck cause some sick ass person had to put on wap on the radio

You deserve to take a bow for this song Will. Another song that has deeper meaning lyrics and an absolute bop. The fans, myself included will feel proud of you for the music and content you create. Keep it up Will, you're awesome! 💜

[@the_avm_gamer4012]

I sense the deeper meaning in this song.

[@Wilbur_Caprus]

6 Years and honestly this song still holds a really strong message that I can’t help but actually feel this is something everyone should keep in mind, I know this is song was made a long while ago but here’s a genuine hope that you’re doing good nowadays Will

[@tyty334351]

It was made 4 months ago…. Unless you’re talking about Build Our Machine.

[@mightydolphinxd8472]

I hope we see more like this from Will when he does do fandom music. Songs that double as both fandom music and songs about how the creators feel. This song, Shot Down By the Mirror, and The Streisand Effect (Speaking of which when's that one coming to digital stores Will? No i will not stop asking.) are all so much more insightful than just retelling the story of those games.

[@djamtz]

Yeah cause it when it shows a side of the game and relatable, in a way you could see it as a song you would hear on the radio right? Maybe

[@False_Refracted]

Streisand Effect isn't coming to stores since it defeats the message of the song

[@anglepsycho]

Ah, one of the dipshit fans who fully ignore the content creator's intentions, this is Exhibit A aka Martyr Fan but really double sided.

[@nenudiable-7649]

There's also the FnaF Security Breach song by TLT

[@senseishikakaibutsu]

This song is too good. The line "Deceived by carnal horns ripping out organs by the cleavers" is too good.

You stood and took the bow Are you proud of me now?

[@exodragons8215]

As ive been reading these comments im understanding 2 things. 1: we all love will which yeah, who wouldnt? Hes one of the most talented nerdcore artists there are, and 2: We gotta go listen to stuff like onyx colony, heart of an artist and goloaths throne etc (all of which are bangers btw and if you havent heard of them i highly reccomend them all)

[@adamsimonds6184]

"You stuck me on repeat" what irony in those lyrics since that's literally what I did to this video.

This really hits hard and sounds amazing! and I loved how right here 1:29 he recreated the voice from Build Our Machine!

[@rmarsh9387]

This was worth any wait. The electro swing gives me Build our machine vibes, the more rock and metal reminding of meet thy maker, and the way this seamlessly works with zero context from the game makes this a shining Gem of a song. Really hope this gets lots of love, another rocking time Will

[@starlightfree]

The visuals are gorgeous and the tune is such a bop! So yeah, we're freaking proud of ya Will! Thank you so much for the epic tune!

This is absolutely aesthetically STUNNING!! Vocals were on point and everything was perfection! Massive props to ya!

[@ErrorMessage]

I love it, and the lyrics are moving, able to be interpreted in a few ways, which I always enjoy; you put a lot of heart into your music. Though funky, the words are emotional, powerful. I--and many other fans--will always continue to be proud. ❤ Edit: I'm sure many may overlook it, but that's the Pandorium logo on the door.

[@SteveDC101]

That's true man.😁. Sure I like bendy, but I honestly like Wills songs more.

[@ExplosionMare]

I believe it is too

[@Trevthehedgehog7]

Pandorium? Is that a reference to another game series, or something? 🤨

[@ExplosionMare]

@@Trevthehedgehog7 It's Will's new series

[@mianreplicate]

I'm so fucking stupid. I thought it was the illuminati symbol, but that makes much more sense haha

[@AnjutaRoze]

2:07-2:32 How cool and fascinating the anime and the song itself look here, I love these couple of minutes. How do you like how this strange twitchiness looks, directly confirming that they are just cartoons. I'm definitely going to review them, hee, hee. :з Well, fellow lovers of Dagames's songs, congratulations to us, we waited for a cool clip! 💞

[@Elthian]

After hearing the song on repeat, I can say that I am proud of you... Again! This song is not only a banger, but a CATCHY one and something that hits deep... Well done, I'm proud, and keep on making what you love to do. Take care, we love you Will! 💜

[@JerTheGamingBear]

Absolute banger once again dude!! Music is incredible and the video/artwork looks amazing! Great job all around to everyone involved!!

[@xxthecavernoverseerxx]

It’s very rare for him to heart comments I gotta admit❤

[@edjr1929]

With this song it shows how Audrey has hauled this machine to her very death And Carrie's the burden of her father

[@JopsyJop]

I genuinely really like that Will puts what he wants to do above what most of the community wants him to do, i do really like that because i've always believed that if the creator lets the song kinda write itself, or if the creator makes the song the way they want to then it will always come out so much better than if they forced themselves to write it. So thank you for doing that Will.

[@SilverNightcore27]

Will, it's awesome to see how much you've evolved through the years, and even though I'm so much younger (I'm 15), I'm really proud of how far you've gotten. I listen to your music every single day and never get tired of it. For me, I love music that make my heart break and this song got it perfectly! This song is definitely one of my favorites now! Thank you Will for a childhood I can remember because of you!

[@inky1930]

I've known Will since I was 14 and now I'm 17. I love that younger people are like me XD

[@genericfriend2568]

Been here since his first FNF songs, I won't say that I like everything Will's made, but it's all undeniably him.

[@username_taken250]

@@inky1930 I’ve known about him since I was 12 and now I’m 19 lol

[@mianreplicate]

Known him since I was 8 or 9 (pretty damn young honestly) but now I'm 14. Glad to know everyone's grown older (and more mature heh. I don't see anyone rushing Will anymore for songs)

[@endisnear-ds9hy]

Ahhh same I am 15, I knew him when I was 10 when he made the build our machine song, thank god I found him earlier because his songs are so good especially the cuphead rap and break my mind and all the batim songs

[@infineoinfinite]

Aw yeah, here it is! The Dark Revival fan song that we've been waiting for months! Absolute banger, man. It's so groovy... DAGames never misses!

[@lilrat2907]

When I first saw that this was another bendy song I genuinely first thought “oh boy another one?” But after listening to this song I’m obsessed, I’ve played this song at least 10 times just listening and catching onto two elements I didn’t hear the first time, the songs amazing and comparing it to the first ever bendy song will made (which was what actually got me into da games music as well as other video games song) it’s beautiful to see how much will’s music has changed, and I don’t know why but it inspires me so much, because you can just hear the passion that was put into the song! Amazing song, wonderful lyrics and vocals are awesome

[@ferrous3307]

DAGames out of the rest seem to give me that nostalgia, considering that I was there when pieces like "Build our machine" and "Gospel of Dismay" came out.

[@ThirtyDimensionedMissile]

THIS SONG IS FIRE!! 🔥

[@bluejay1153]

Just like the game itself, the wait was more than worth it, this is absolutely incredible!!

[@joshuabautch8936]

Don’t you guys feel like the lyrics tell a metaphorical story about how the people working in the animation industry have their “hearts torn out with a cleaver” a.k.a have amazing productions of theirs made from nothing but love and determination have been axed as tax-write offs while dogs hit is favored by the same higher ups?

[@Shad0wF0rce]

Will, I've always been proud of you and the DAcrew. Ever since I first found you, you and every single member of the crew have made this channel grow. I can't wait to see you guys make it grow even bigger as time passes by.

[@JamesOngodd]

HOLY SHET! WHAT A BANGER! I THOUGHT THAT BUILD OUR MACHINE WAS GOOD BUT I THINK THIS OUTDID IT! also if you dont get it theres alot of symbolism to how will feels about the entire franchise. He had major memories of pain working on this song so in short hes basically asking if we are a happy now. Also youll really get the symbolism with audrey being held down by chains and lyrics with words such as "dragged us back down" and "I WORKED TO HARD TO WALK AWAY FROM HERE"!anyway! Another banger i cant wait for whatd next and yes will we are all proud of you❤❤

[@littledevildarlin414]

I know I'm only commenting now but holy- like I wanna say so many things right now that I can't, I know this means nothing so whatever, but I'm just really glad I've been a part of this community since the very beginning and that I got to live to see this art piece, I draw sometimes and these games have been special to me because of that but this really hits it right there in the heart if you know what I mean.

[@Alik769]

I think I like even more then “Build our machine”

[@ьеь-у6ж]

Я так рад, что вы продолжаете поддерживать интерес к фандомам, на которых мы выросли, своими зажигательными песнями❤. P.S. мне нравятся лютые танцы анки на заднем фоне

[@_mayVarenik]

Рада видеть здесь комментарии на русском! p. s. так вот что мне это напоминает...

[@ayyewalkdaplank]

Я не теоретик, но у этой песни, я верю, есть более глубокий смысл о том, что Уилл не может делать ничего кроме nerd-контента (типо Flashdrive или IRIS) ведь они (скорее всего) не соберут так много, как нёрд-песни. Отсюда и постоянные аллюзии на машину с цепями и текст об усталости и невозможности делать что-то. [Частично взято с англоязычного коммента].

[@chees_suremone]

@@ayyewalkdaplank да, я скажу вы совершенно правы!! также ваша теория подтверждается моментом где главная героиня(не помню имя) тянется к двери с логотипом пандориума(одного из проектов Уилла), но её утаскивает за собой Бенди. То есть мы можем сказать что главная героиня буквально в этом клипе олицетворяет создателя песни

[@chees_suremone]

@SpacePen717 думаю, тогда нужно поддержать Уилла на написание тех песен, которые ему самому нравятся, пойду-ка переслушаю Living life without the cord и Shot down by the mirror, кстати судя по посту в твиттере нас ждёт новая версия Black и вроде S.O.S. ждём всей Россией!!

[@yeray8619]

I honestlly think this is my Very personal favorite, because most of the words from the lyrics are actually sort of a reflect of trying everything to impress someone, but wasn't enough ((been through that situation before, but I escaped from it)) [for song thumbnail: "We Have Always Been Proud"]

if i had a nickel for everytime a song was created masked as a fandom song but just shows the creators frustrations with the fandom, i’d have three nickels. which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened thrice.

[@RaTy_yay]

Absolutely WORTH THE WAIT. Love how you decided to write about Audrey getting used as a pawn by literally everyone in the game. Cool to see(and hear) a new perspective on the story! That's not even mentioning how much of a bop this song is! Outstanding job, Will!

[@DJBurns-jq8mn]
