Cepheid - Colours Fading (feat. GUMI) [VOCALOID Original]

[@kattreese9748]

the quote "Motivation feeds the hungry mind. So I guess starving tells me something I knew all along." really hit me hard....

[@mikaren2763]

+Aуαиσ Cнιуσ Same, it's sad how relatable this is

[@Pindei]

Does it mean that there is a big lack of motivation?

[@mikaren2763]

Yes, which is most likely caused by depression

[@Pindei]

+Medicine Melancholy yes? well I know how it is to have no motivation and can relate to many phrases in the lyrics...

[@mikaren2763]

Pindei Same :/

[@AlightBlaze]

Why is it that every song Cepheid releases becomes an absolute banger

[@tabularasa608]

I feel this on so many levels. Well done.

[@SenhorAlien]

That nick :think:

[@saracurran4635]

I am a VOCALOID junkie. I have seen it all, from entry-level producers to obscure ones, and from heartbreakingly tuned songs to realistic and breathy ones. However, I have never seen a song as fantastic as this one. It has some of the most multidimensional, emotional, and rhetorical lyrics and tuning that I have ever witnessed. You, my friend, are impeccably talented in so many ways. I only subscribe to the best, and here you are on my list.

[@jasmine3572]

DEFINITELY ONE OF MY FAVORITE VOCALOID SONGS EVER! It's so well done! I can't stop hearing it! Thank you so much for making such an amazing song!

[@xCepheid]

Thank you so much! >.

[@autusticrat]

The feeling put into this music really hit me hard. It's like 5:29 and I have school in an hour and a half, and I'm just sitting here anxious and about to snap. I can't do my work I need to graduate and I just feel like ripping out my skin. But listening to this music helps me voice my emotion in a rational way to myself. A coping strategy I guess. I really appreciate the creator of this song. Thanks.

[@PurplesinnerW]

X2 ditto. I feel u bro

[@doodlewing6840]

I hope you graduated, or are still working to it if still in school. 💜

[@autusticrat]

@@doodlewing6840 I've grown a lot since then. Being an adult really put things in perspective. Things are better ^__^

[@phoenixgaming4185]

[@xCepheid]

@Pyrelord Artorias - Hey man, I'd love to reply to your comments, but you have your Google+ settings setup in a way that In cannot reply to them. If you see this, hopefully you can mitigate the problem. Oh, and to answer your question, I've been making a lot more songs with higher BPM's lately. I hope to release those with PV's in the future.

[@水-o1f]

+xCepheid Hi there! i loved this song so much and i like the illustration alot! But i cant seems to find it anywhere... is it on pixiv or somewhre else??

[@xCepheid]

I don't think Ruuya has posted it anywhere but the image is on my website (northerncrossmusic.net). You can probably be able to pull it from there using your browser's console.

[@curseagent]

+xCepheid what musical scale is this song on? (E. G. C major, G minor, etc.)

[@xCepheid]

+Diva Of the century (Diva-P) G-Minor for the intro, verse, and outro, C-Minor for the pre-chorus, chorus, breakdown, and bridge. I actually originally intended it to be completely C-Minor, but the way I composed it, certain parts sounded like G-minor. If you solo over the song in either key, they both work (for the most part), it's kinda weird lol.

[@curseagent]

+xCepheid Thanks

[@DJ_Raywave]

I'm kinda tearing up. I actually somewhat relate to this... Whenever my depression hits me hard, I feel like this... This is an amazing song..

[@Natsumiuzumaki20]

back when I lived with my dad this song perfectly described how i often felt and how I dealt with it. this hit home so true. it's made me rather emotional

[@lyrablack8621]

I think this song is about self hatred and not even bothering to try to fix yourself because what's the point. I once related heavily to this. Now it's just a sick beat, great song

[@spectralcomet1976]

Aaaaaaaah, this song is amazing! Honestly, my favorite track from the album. 😁 I can't wait for your future songs!

[@xCepheid]

+Miserable Flare Thanks! It's one of my favourites too! XD.

[@spectralcomet1976]

NAICE XD

[@soundtheartist9212]

This is beautiful! You're work is amazing and I love this voice bank! The singing, timing, and quality is beautiful! Keep up the amazing work!!

[@flyleaf413]

Wow, this is my favorite song in the album, it blew me away and it is stuck in my head and I love it! Thank you so much for this breathtaking music Xcepheid! Keep it up I love it!

[@asterrhythm]

Hey, Cepheid!! I just discovered your music. It makes me quite nostalgic! With Yuyoyuppe stopping making music and many others great producers becoming inactive VOCALOUD/VOCALEAMO music is having hard times!! Please, keep up with the great work!

[@xCepheid]

+Tuna-san | Youtaite Thank you! I try my best :P.

[@SeleDreams]

Even after all this time it stays one of my favorites alongside "Fragile"

[@lopo8265]

I'm not a HUGE fan of vocaloid songs, but this sounds so amazing xD Especially this parts: 1:48 and 1:58 Well... actually all vocaloid songs in this channel sounds really good but I think this one is the best :v (sorry my bad english ;-; )

[@eden9465]

I LOVE IT

[@neonjays]

This is one of my fav songs 😁

[@xCepheid]

+Neon Season Thanks! Was one of my favs to compose for the album!

I'll be honest you make some damn good music. Been listening to you alot. Keep up the great work.

[@jeremycorbin9960]

My lungs hate me now (my brain cant resist attempting to sing along to it)

[@badplayer817]

I still come back to this masterpiece 7 years later...

[@dieehrensklavin]

"The truth is... I never changed - Black to white is still grey" i cant stop crying damn right in the feels

[@charless135]

HER MO SO •-•

[@Shalink]

Lyrics~ Wake up feeling like a New day needs me But the clock reads three and I slump back into my bed Motivation feeds the hungry mind So I guess starving tells me something I knew all along Spend the day reflecting my mistakes In the end, it means nothing If I can’t pursue my dreams Fall asleep into a darker place Where my mind shuts off for the day and recolects in peace Lie awake while the colours fade away The truth is, I never changed Black to white is still grey Lie awake while the colours fade Living every day cast in shadow Living in contempt rash and shallow -Colours splash violently- -aberrant, suddenly- -Mask your eyes silently- -from the truth, blissfully- Ignorance born from chained emotions Weakness born from fear of false notions -Colours splash violently- -aberrant, suddenly- -Mask your eyes silently- -colours fading- Lie awake while the colours fade away The truth is, I never changed Black to white is still grey Lie awake while the colours fade Living every day cast in shadow Living in contempt rash and shallow -Colours splash violently- -aberrant, suddenly- -Mask your eyes silently- -from the truth, blissfully- Ignorance born from chained emotions Weakness born from fear of false notions -Colours splash violently- -aberrant, suddenly- -Mask your eyes silently- -colours fading- 【Cepheid】 Colours Fading (feat. GUMI) 【VOCALOID Original】

this meant alot to me when u first released this❤

[@TenebraeAeternae]

OMG some of your songs have so many views now! Idk if your songs got promoted somewhere or what, but I'm glad to see you getting some attention, and you deserve it. Been a fan of your work since hearing "Reflection" a couple years ago

[@xCepheid]

Thanks! It's always nice to hear from long time fans :D. Some of my songs were indeed promoted in some places. Crocodile Skin was even featured on Vocaloid's official English website!

[@TenebraeAeternae]

That's great to hear :) Best of luck, and I look forward to more awesome songs!

[@ladymorwendaebrethil-feani4031]

Ok but *how* do you only have 9,50 subs this is f r e a k i n g amazing

[@xCepheid]

+The Sammich Thank you! I haven't been very active until recently, which explains the lack of subs, but I hope to release music regularly now!

[@hydrogeddonn]

This is great! The tuning is actually better than Vocacircus.... Work on making the words a bit easier to understand, otherwise her voice is very even and human.

[@tinyangryace31]

yeah, it's great

[@InvaderChulia]

Lmao yeah I don't even need the lyrics to understand GUMI's English. This is great haha

[@onthefridge-w7p]

Ik im late but you dont gotta compare people

[@SalemStrife]

Vocacircus has improved greatly you should check out their new singles : )

cba if i scream in your ear there'd be a echo and you'd reply 60 minutes later

This sounds amazing! :D I can't wait to hear more from you!

[@venemoussyrin5949]

Can someone tell me a couple of songs like this one from GUMI? like Self-Harm Colorless, or Wrist Cutter, ECHO or ASTHMA, Or Colours Fading, please guys recommend me some good songs about lunacy or depression from Vocaloid please.

[@xCepheid]

Check out Crocodile Skin. It's one of my songs. It's about drug abuse and uses Gumi. :D

[@venemoussyrin5949]

The lyrics are very well-written and the composition is a masterpiece. Although the tuning could have been more clear, there's only so much you can do with a Vocaloid. Great work.

[@Elboart]

[@sunsoon232]

Gumi is the meaning to my life.

[@dantemachiavelli9976]

Fricking slaps!

[@llenji]

YOU'RE SO GOOD AT MAKING VOCALOID SONGS! Have you made a happier song, though? I can't exactly listen to his without headphones.

[@xCepheid]

I have never written anything happy. Part of the reason I make music is to express the emotions I cannot express normally. Most of these emotions are negative. Also, metal and rock sounds really lame in a major key.

[@llenji]

Oh really? OK, then. Your songs are still awesome though!

[@stellunita]

this is so awesome!

[@allsoulnotalent3275]

I can mostly see the meaning of this song, but if someone could tell me the meaning in their opinion so that I could be sure, that'd be great. ^-^ Thanks

[@xCepheid]

+Chaosity The song is about lack of inspiration. Being stagnant and watching the world change as you stay in the same place. At least, that's the gist of it.

[@dandanthedandan7558]

Oh thought it was about the struggle to find a reason to live with depression

[@sillyscarlybean]

with the splashing of sudden violent colors and trying to mask them away with your eyes, I felt like this was a mention to hallucinations / schizophrenia
