this song hits a little different now

[@Hinterlindz]

Yep

[@qorpsey8859]

i’m coming back to this song after a while, and i just now noticed something. In tommy’s chorus, he’s not saying ‘original’ lyrics, he’s saying what Wilbur told him. Tommy’s main part, instead of saying new things it’s repeated. I think it shows how he mostly followed Wilbur’s shadow throughout the whole story. How Tommy stuck with him despite his bad decisions in the past. I don’t know, just a thought!! But this is an incredible song

[@Iker-m6z]

Oh, that makes so much sense!!! Good eye ❤

[@ayonixanimations]

The detail of Wilbur looking at Tommy at 3:10 instead of smirking to himself like all the other times- wowzers

[@trashyinferno]

THAT WAS ALL CRYRO - THE ARTIST :DDDDDD

[@twigthetroll9279]

THE WAY THAT ALL THE CROSSED-OUT WRITINGS ON THE CAVE WALLS LIGHT UP ON THAT FINAL "AND I'LL REMEMBER ALL THE PROMISES YOU BROKE" AND *THE LAST ONE TO FADE BACK INTO THE DARKNESS IS "BROTHER" I'M GONNA THROW UP*

[@DragonTail77]

:DD Thank you

[@roessigma7395]

I love how despite how smug Wil's frame looks before the song the content itself is a sort of bittersweet apology in of itself. An apology that Tommy can't see. I think the Utah stream happened after this? Will you make a song base on that in the future

See comment below 😅 Teacher Ferno is BUSY at the moment! (Plus, video editor has moved onto bigger and better things, so things are much slower coming :)

[@dragonace7211]

This is beautiful. I love the closing and opening of eyes as they sing. Especially at the pause at 3:10, after they sing 'and when we remember all the promises we broke,' where Tommy has his eyes closed, but Wilbur, the only time during the song, is looking at Tommy.

[@trashyinferno]

I love that moment, too!!!! I didn't do that, my editor, Dragon, did - and it's such a cool touch (ALSO IT WAS CRYROS IDEA IN THE FIRST PLACE). I'm so proud of them for putting something like this together with all these crazy little details!!!!

3:07 C!WILBURS FACE LOOKING AT TOMMY FOR THAT ONE MOMENT WHEN THE LIGHT IS OFF AH

[@fel33no]

I probably won't be able to say anything during the premiere, so I'll spill it all out now: Ferno, I think this song is already a masterpiece. I've only heard the unfinished, yet to be truly completed version, but that's how great things start, right? I love the concept of having a song between Wilbur and Tommy's burdened and... difficult... relationship with one another after Wilbur's revival and all the suffering Tommy has been through. The art is absolutely amazing that I can't express all my feelings about it in this, but that should give you an idea about how I feel. I feel like this is a tad bit dramatic, but who cares. You're an amazing sonwriter and singer, and judging by the many things I've already heard from the unfinished symphony before the premiere in... 16 hours... I know this song will be another great hit, juts like all the rest. Keep up the fantastic songs (and stories) and good luck on reaching 1000 subscribers! (Don't think I missed that '970 subscribers' count). Just remember that you're amazing

Broken bottles, broken windows Empty rooms, empty photo frames A house where no one wants to stay A story where everything didn't end up okay Well, here I am At the beginning of the end of a tragedy And here I am At the cusp of it was never meant to be And all the twisted broken arrows Pierce the closely woven lies Where the ghosts haunt you forever And the story never dies Well, here Here's just a broken melody You told me Don't look back What's behind you isn't who you're meant to be And don't look down Just look forward and keep your eyes on me We'll take back what we were someday But everybody has to change Keep your head up and don't panic when the next song finally comes So don't look back Just run Darkened caverns, twisting tunnels Broken buttons, shattered lives Trust that family had betrayed And the story of a land where no one stayed Well, here I am At the end of an unfinished symphony And here I am Finally taking back the choice that you stole from me And all the out of tune guitar strings And the anthems of the damned And the twisted empty promises And lost beloved lands Well, here Here's just a shattered family I told you Don't look back What's behind you isn't who you're meant to be And don't look down Just look forward and keep your eyes on me Don't wait for an apology There isn't one to come Stay down and be grateful when the next song finally comes So don't wait for me And you can't break a shattered heart And I can't make the battered whole I can't remember who we were And you can't save a weary soul And the endings never quite feel right The shadows creep too far tonight And in the end, the lesson's never wrote And we remember all the promises we broke I told you/You told me Don't look back What's behind you isn't who you're meant to be And don't look down Just look forward and keep your eyes on me Don't wait for an apology/We'll take back what we were someday There isn't one to come/But everybody has to change Stay down and be grateful/Keep your head up and don't panic When the next song finally comes So don't Wait for me/Look back Just run/Light the match, set it off Don't wait for me/Hold the world in your hands Just run/Fake a smile, in denial Don't wait for me/Watch it burn to ashes Just run/This is our L'Manberg Don't wait for me/This is our L'Manberg And I'll remember all the promises you broke

[@yeahno6169]

This song is so beatiful, I can't believe it! I can't even pick a favourite part, because i would have to quote almost all of it. Somewhat haunting, nostalgic, longing, not negative, bit sad. It also fits surprisingly well with Wilbur's last stream? Especially the line "the beginning of the end of a traged". Like, that was the beginning of the end, and now there is (probably) the end? Also, a Land where no one stayed, because not even Wilbur stayed. And Tommy did never really receive a (verbal) apology. And the ending certainly did not feel right. And the being left alone somehow comes.through very well. o7

I’m a slow reader this is for all my slow readers out there lmao Tommy: broken bottles broken windows, empty rooms, empty photo frames. A house where no one wants to stay, a story where everything didn’t end up okay. Well here…I…am. At the beginning of the end of a tragedy, and here…I…am. At the cusp of it was never meant to be. And all the twisted broken arrows, pierce the closely woven lies, where the ghosts haunt you forever, and the story never dies. Well, here…Here’s just a broken melody. You told me. “Don’t look back” (Wilbur: “What’s behind you isn’t who you’re meant to be”) And “don’t look down” (Wilbur: “Just look forward and keep your eyes on me”) “We’ll take back what we were someday…but everybody has to change. (Wilbur: “keep your head up and don’t panic, when the next song finally comes” “So don’t look back” “Just run” Wilbur: Darken caverns, twisting tunnels, broken buttons shattered lives, trust that family had betrayed and the story of a land where no one stayed. Well, here…I…am; at the end of an unfinished symphony. And here…I…am, finally taking back THE CHOICE THAT YOU STOLE FROM ME. And all the out of tune guitar strings, and the anthems of the damned, and the twisted empty promises, and lost beloved lands! Well, here…Here’s just a shattered family! I told you “don’t look back” (Tommy: “What’s behind you isn’t who you’re meant to be”) And “don’t look down” (Tommy: “Just look forward and keep your eyes on me”) Don’t wait for an apology, there isn’t one to come, stay down and be grateful Wilbur: when the next song finally comes Tommy: when the next one finally comes Wilbur: so don’t wait for me Tommy: and you can’t break a shattered heart…I can’t remember who we were… Wilbur: and I can’t make the battered whole…and you can’t save a weary soul Tommy and Wilbur: and the endings never quite feel right, the shadows creep to far at tonight, and in the end the lesson’s never wrote…and we remember all the promises we broke… Tommy: you told me “Don’t look back”… “Don’t look down”… We’ll take back what we were someday, but everybody has to change, keep your head and don’t panic. When the next song finally comes. So don’t look back… Just run (light the match set it off, hold the world in your hands, fake a smile, in denial, watch it burn to ashes x2) Wilbur: I told you “Don’t look back”…and “Don’t look down”… Don’t wait for an apology, there isn’t one to come, Stay down and be grateful. When the next song finally comes. So don’t wait for me, don’t wait for me x4 (this is L’manburg x2, this is our L’manburg) Tommy: And I’ll remember all the promises you broke…

I find myself coming back again and again to this song since I first heard it. It reminds me of a powerful opening number for an Act 2 of a musical. With the two characters starting the “end of a tragedy” and making callbacks to Act 1. It’s powerful. You can FEEL the effort and care put into the song when you listen. I really appreciate it a lot and I don’t know how else to describe the emotions it provides me. I find myself singing it and humming it even if I’m not listening to it.

Ok. This is so good. First of all, the lyrics are just... perfection. The repeating, and all of the hints to things that happened... just 🥰 Second of all, the vocals. Just... wow. This is amazing. The art is also just absolutely amazing! (I don’t know if it was in purpose, it probably wasn’t, but the flag that Wilbur is holding is missing blue, which he said represents liberty, and so the liberty is gone. Anyways, you are awesome!

Idk how you'd feel (reason why I'm asking), but I'm starting a channel where I cover songs, and I want this one to be my first. I'd like to know if I could make a cover of this song. If not, that's ok. I've never done this before, so that's why I'm asking. This was just so beautiful that I wanted to start with it. And congrats on 4k!

[@trashyinferno]

Absolutely! I allow covers of my songs so long as the content: 1. Gives proper credit! 2. Does not reuse/steal the art from the song as part of the video. 3. Does not reuse audio from the original song. I don’t upload karaoke tracks for a reason, and I’d prefer someone else not profit off of my hard work. Good luck with your cover channel! If you’d like any advice, feel free to contact me on discord or one of my other socials. Let me know when you post!
