Hey, Faith - World Premiere Song

[@Angel-rq3pi]

Takes a talented intelligent songwriter to give us a song that works on multiple levels (word play, puns, etc)...

[@rachelofblueridge2593]

There is something about this song. Your voice and just the acoustic guitar are pure magic.

[@samanthamartin1704]

I know it's been 2 years but PLEASE put this on your next album, this SLAPS SO HARD. 💕

[@kniky_]

Any chance for a full release? 😅

[@jenlincoln7687]

I wish I could like this a million times. Love it!!!!

[@ItsMeVolatility]

Similarly to how you’d forgotten about writing this song, I’d forgotten that you posted it. I remember listening to it shortly after it was on Patreon, and I thought it was absolutely amazing. I hit the ‘replay’ button a lot over the next few months. Just now, after a couple years, the chorus’ melody came to me, and here I am, finding myself instantly singing along even though I couldn’t have told you what the lyrics were prior. Music seems to work in mysterious ways... I love this track to death, and I can understand why it struck you deeply once you remembered it too. I doubt I’ll forget about it again. Great work Voltaire. :)

[@TemperedStorm]

This song feels natural and organic. It's catchy without being gimmicky. It may not be what you consider your usual fare, but I find myself replaying this song over and over again. Please don't be so quick to dismiss it. I see potential with the acoustic guitar sound and the lyrics. Thank you for sharing this, Voltaire.

[@HeirofAzaran]

I agree. This would be a worthy addition to any discography, and would fit alongside Almost Human, Innocent, and your other sincere songs.

[@Ccostly]

dang how did i miss this. i hit the bell, darnit

[@yangxiaobelladonna2401]

Any song you make is going to be great :) keep up the work my dude

[@mariahspain7799]

I need this song right now.

[@mariahspain7799]

I need you to know that this song means a lot to me, I have been losing faith in everything but mostly my self. And this helped

[@zakethekid1333]

I doubt you'll see this comment, but I just want to say it. I come back to this video and this song semi-regularly. Its just very comforting. I struggled for years with losing my faith and my religion and that kind of emotional turmoil is not discussed or expressed nearly enough. This song doesn't shame religion, it doesn't say that faith is bad or harmful, it doesn't go edgy. It just expresses feeling it slip away, and still secretly hoping it will come back for just a moment as you die. I really appreciate this song. A version that doesn't cut out on the last word would be incredible, but even so I will probably keep coming back to this song. It does mean a lot to me.

[@SchizoPuppet]

I can't stop listening to this one. It is lovely. I'd love for this to be on an album. ❤️

[@ijakerz93]

These are my favorite videos

[@alejandraaguilar7494]

your voice its like a sweet treat for my sad gloomy day ,I love you Voltaire

[@mithenmedina540]

alejandra aguilar no esperaba que otra hispanohablante escuchara Voltaire 👌

[@Lensah23]

As a man whose currently struggling with faith; thank you Voltaire.

[@sylvashtda7681]

god...yer gonna haunt me every day. just there in the back of my mind, and now this is what will play when i try to get through school. then complain all day then cry tears of woe, tears of joy

[@dapperglu]

I'm finding myself replaying this song to the point I'm learning most of the lyrics. I'm singing along to this. It's beautiful. Your music has always been inspirational to me. You, as a person, are inspiring. Like many others, I'm hoping to see this in a future album. You're the dark side I look up to.

[@HeirofAzaran]

I feel the same!

[@ilyssapourner1844]

This is such a lovely song Voltaire!

[@sarastevens9331]

Love it. And understand it completely. Hey faith...where are you?

[@jeracaruna9]

Just imagine this a minute or so longer with a haunting string accompaniment.

[@AsylumsDarkPresence]

There isn't a song of yours that I haven't liked yet there all so amazing.

[@severomales5824]

Wow. Thank you very much Voltaire for this song

[@pamelaadams5471]

Beautiful.

[@BathoryQueen]

Thank you sir can we have more like this one? I'm not sure what it is but there's something about the styling of this song that reminds me of the first three albums, (I get it as an artist that feels like backstepping) but I personally prefer it. Honestly within the first three cords my brain went "This is a Voltaire song."

[@ArtblockInsomniac]

An instant favorite

[@korrinebritton6746]

As one who has lost religious faith and constantly loses and regains faith in humanity, these lyrics hit me on a visceral level. I'm so glad you decided to post this.

[@thompse412]

Don't worry, you didn't "lose" religious faith. You found a path to a better, safer world, though it can also be a scary world, and there are many people who are happy to have you.

[@paradoxrealm8781]

A brilliant musician and artist through and through. Your music since grade school has kept me looking up when I feel like looking down.

[@ninkitty1980]

[@hawkinsfamily6119]

I keep finding myself coming back to this over and over again. This is just so beautiful. I am obsessed with this song. PLEASE tell me you are going to do the full version of this some time. It is absolutely amazing acoustically.

[@TheRadDovakiin]

The voice of an angel! So beautiful.

[@sirprize5191]

Just when I thought I wouldn't have a new favorite Voltaire song, I find it again

[@Womanincorset]

So beautiful song. And also very sad...

[@GlitchArtTV]

So cool, so pure!

[@kingcornelius865]

I've loved it, and I'll keep listening to it, hoping you to bring this magic into the next album. Thank you, Music Master.

[@TheCrabActivist4525]

I think I'll start commenting more, this is wonderful! Is there any particular moment in your life that inspired you to make this one?

[@Karma_G_Pierce]

I just teared up a bit... Applauds

[@nyxnoctem1514]

Handsome man, wonderful voice, beautiful song. Another German fangirl for you, Voltaire ;)

[@JoelRiter]

Voltaire you are one of my favorite artists. As much as I love your comedic songs, its your deep melancholy songs that enjoy a deep reflection of how sadness and love are intertwined. Feathery wings is my favorite songs. Your music is actually very similar to my style of poetry. What most people forget is how Gothic is at its heart romantic. Granted its a very dark reflective romantic, but romantic none the less. Its at its core about the desperation of love, inevitability of death, and love that keeps it all bearable and how that love can easily be a double edged sword that forces us to ponder was it worth it with the answer being a resounding yes. I have multiple mental illnesses and my wife does as well, but she also has had one of the hardest lives I have ever heard and is now battling a disease that we are fighting to get cured. Sorry that was a bit of a tangent, my point is that your music has truly encapsulated all these these things for me in a fashion that is true to the heart of Gothic. I cannot count the number of times I have simply broke down in tears to one of your songs (again especially to Feathery Wings due to how much relevance there is to me). How much your music has inspired me as an artist. I sing Goodnight Demon slayer to my daughter every night because the message is something I longingly want her to keep. So thank you. I want to keep writing and give a deeper analysis (I am an Anthropology major minoring in folklore who enjoys deep literary analysis). I hope to one day be able to see you live with my wife and for us to stare longingly into each others eyes to anniversary. I know this has been all over the place but I cannot contain my appreciation for and live be of your art. This song was incredible, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

[@HeirofAzaran]

Mr. JoelRiter, your words encapsulate the impact art can have on a person's soul. Thank you for sharing it with us. Sincerely.

[@crimsonwerecat]

this sounds so beautiful, I just love your stripped down acoustic sound, and the cleanliness, honesty of your voice, amazing as always, thanks for sharing, Cap'n, love it and love you, my friend!

[@dadevol1094]

This is just perfect! Voltaire's voice is almost hypnotic this song and the Feathery Wings are on my top3! I wonder in which tuning the guitar is so I could play this on my free time

[@tagliov5313]

still in love with this song

[@darktwistedwitch]

You should make this a single, i know this is late, but this is a really good song 💙❤

[@53N741]

Wow. This is just breathtaking. Always loved your work, but I think this might be a new favourite!

[@XxonebeutyxX]

I'm so glad you're still making music!!!!! I only just started listening to your music and I'm glad I did! You were exactly what I was looking for! You're the perfect music for my repertoire! Yeah I have black metal, hard rock some goth like type O negative and stuff but I needed something dark bleak and upbeat! Like me🖤. Any way, hearing your story and how you went about creating your life was something I wish I could've done but never had the courage to do!! Well I'm just fangirl now, sorry. But to get down to the nitty gritty thanks, for being you, and helping me find myself just a bit more🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@catpaw8787]

Your the best!!! Music that really touches your heart! 😁

[@hawkinsfamily6119]

Beautiful. Sensing more of that theme goin on here lately, maybe that's why you dug this one up. Not a bad direction to go. Despise not your beginnings and such (or where you are heading I suppose; it's all part of the journey). Everyone gets a little lost at times. Being stuck is a form of being lost. Sometimes we lose faith in someone or something; sometimes even ourselves. We find our way eventually.

[@DumbVampire]

I love your raw vocals the most out of anything you do. I just want to hear you sing acoustically for hours and hours

[@ilpiratadellaluna4466]

Beautiful description. :)

[@NomenEstLegio]

Just as beautiful as the first time I heard it

[@SunsakiMemoir]

I just adore your voice. I’m still new to your music, however I cannot deny I remember your voice on the grim adventures of billy and Mandy. Thanks for the wonderful music. 🙂

[@sangregori0]

Soothing to the spirit

[@somedamnhippie]

Beautiful song! I was at your shows in Knoxville and STL. My mother wanted to say that in STL she was drunk and wanted to apologize for how she acted. I'm looking forward to next year at the crack fox!

[@kronosdorma]

I was at the Knoxville concert too! Wonder how Chaos is doing...

[@somedamnhippie]

My Temple Family

[@KimXe]

Love it !!

[@lovesvamps83]

Beautiful. :-)

[@everettlogan2433]

Any chance of this being on the next album?

[@Ashden96]

Everett Logan How is your comment 7 months old, when this was uploaded approximately 20 minutes ago? :O

[@JerZeyCJ]

"his video was originally published 8 months ago as exclusive content for my patrons at www.patreon.com/aureliovoltaire"

[@Ashden96]

JerZeyCJ Once I don't read the desc... haha. Thanks for the clarification :)

[@KawaiiPeachFairy]

H Adam omg 😂😂😱😱

[@robertoalbera2310]

[@droid88-b56]

God you're amazing!

[@moonlightdancer5495]

I recently discovered you and I think you rock!!

[@1492irina]

Love this!

[@j3tztbassman123]

That really is a pleaser from the freezer, like a forgotten tub of ice cream.

[@nekobat1962]

Beautiful and sad. You actually sound heartbroken. I felt sad with you. Very few songs make me feel anything anymore.

[@JohnnyBGood00]

Awesome.

[@Jatherification]

I loved it! I wish this was in the new album with Human Nature. Very beautiful songs.

[@thegreatboppilini9006]

No sound matches yours, brother. I've loved it since I was a kid and I'm glad it hasn't strayed from your roots.

[@Dilaughosaurus]

Very lovely. I also like the bit you wrote in the description. Thanks for sharing!

[@thompse412]

Aaaaa how did I miss this

[@jdsteppenzyde]

Love it.

[@Shadowcat5150]

It's beautiful and I would love to listen to it on an album. There's nothing wrong with deviating from your usual stuff, hun. Sometimes it can be refreshing. Ever since I heard this I keep catching myself muttering the chorus. I love it so much~

[@Anthony-jc1ii]

Great work as usual

[@elvenloki7340]

I freaking love this!

[@Data_HEX]

I find myself listening to this over and over. It hit me on a personal level

[@drakonyanazkar]

It's amazing how your work is timeless, especially your voice. Just by hearing you, one can't tell your age. Even this early work of yours feels very contemporary. I hope you release it in an upcoming album, the lyrics also meant a lot to me.

[@wenchesandmead2459]

Voltaire, your music is so addicting to listen to. I love your music, and I love your overall theme. You inspired me to do the gothic fashion, you have helped me make my home into a lair. You are great! Never change!

[@lizabeth212]

What a beautiful voice 😍

[@aliforbes6563]

This is beautiful

[@mayumi_toyoda]

I love it and I love you.

[@slothqueen6354]

This is so pretty and I love it please keep making music

[@dianajemison105]

Nice! Love it!

[@Roy.404.]

Orville looks to be in a very "deep sleep" or else he would have started barking at you for disturbing his rest. Nice song by the way. I feel that the full version is going to be fantastic.

[@emmayoung1045]

I loved the choice of chords and your voice sounds amazing as always. I would love to have it on an album. Keep being awesome!

[@MorriganJezebel]

I keep coming back to this ♥ I just love it so much, i feel my heart squishy lol, there are a couple of your songs that make me cry, and believe me that is one tough gig...

[@Bellatwd]

can't wait to see you at derpycon this year

[@BreakerInc]

Loving the concept, if not all lyrics

[@jolenecoda]

This absolutely beautiful! I am happy I discovered your music :)

[@manonsegur7547]

Wow that song is my new asmr trigger !

[@Kodyk95]

[@letlopes5038]

Your voice is so beautiful and smooth♡

[@nicoledicola693]

You've aged well mister Voltaire, your voice is still as impeccable as always aswell

[@nicoledicola693]

I just learned my father has lung cancer, this song is really helping me with it, thank you

[@Victoria-fs9jo]

It has a kind of "Then and Again" vibe to it, which I really like

[@sophiemanson8748]

nice one

[@alexlun4464]

You should make more of this, Lord.

[@BriannaORourkeClassyCuttlefish]

I loved it! Thank you for this treat :) Your voice is amazing; is this going to be on an album or single?

[@jhoselinfernandez4067]

Que lindo ME GUSTA MUCHO COMO CANTA :D

[@krrr.4902]

[@thelairofblair1]

Please Voltaire this needs to be in your next album even as a hidden/bonus track.

[@schwarzekatz2347]

I Love it 🦇🖤
