Make sure to turn on Captions for the 10 hour song playthrough! What did you guys think of the story?

[@qqlu8682]

Seeing that nobody replied yet, I will take the honor of being your first reply! So when beginning to look at the story, I remembered hearing a similar story to the one in the captions: It was about a boy who struggled to understand himself. He couldn't know what he likes, what he dislikes, or what he even is. However, all he knew is that he didn't want anyone to know how confusing he is, so he acts like the class clown. He managed to convince everyone that he was a happy, and humorous guy who makes everyone have a happy time. However, his happiness ended when a new transfer student arrived. That student saw through his disguise, and fear corrupted the class clown. He didn't want everyone to know how different he actually is. He tried to make the transfer student think otherwise. He continued acting happy and being the class clown, however, nothing seemed to work. The transfer student was basically the one who took away his happiness, while the boy still remained hopeful in persuading him of his fake identity; being obsessed.

I think the ten minute should be called a walk through the cemetery because its calm at the start but the wind starts blowing and you hear like voices and as it blows and you hear voices you get uneasy and anxious and when it gets the fastest and loudest is when your super freaked out and your running around in fear of the things around you and its dark and foggy

I've only been able to listen to "Imprisoned Soul" all the way through once. ='( It's a great piece, but I can't stand the feelings. (My deepest respect goes to Julie Marie who experienced it and freed herself). "Total Isolation" still leaves me with an oppressive feeling. I am sure there are many people currently who know this emotion. This shows once again how well you can capture emotions.Many of us were worried about you. I would call the 10-minute piece ( 3:33 ) "Enter the Haunted House".

How is no one in the comments talking about the accidentally brutal but true words he gave about being in and leaving an abusive relationship? "You didn't win. You just didn't lose." It's such a simple thing he throws out while considering how to write, but the truth stands so well. An abusive relationship is a nightmare, and just because you're free from it, doesn't mean your free from its effects. You survived your own personal piece of hell to continue living... but that doesn't mean you won. It's brilliant in its accidental simplicity and so extremely accurate.

You are so close to escaping. Just keep going, you're gonna make it! Your jaw hurts by how hard you are clenching your teeth, but you ignore it. You're so close. The light will appear soon, the other end of the forest will appear and I shall be free! You said to yourself as you don't notice the glowing eyes watching you from the dark...

total isolation gives me suuuuch specific vibes tbh, it sounds really good! it's a nice night out with friends. joking, laughing, having some fun. one of them starts talking about the 'creepy' cave up ahead, and you, still on a high, decide to go with them. when you approach it... it seems normal, but off, somehow. weird vibes, or maybe just cowardice? and then you hear it. behind you. you run far into the cave, splitting off from your friends in the process, panicked, startled, and having a feeling that you were right. looking behind, you expect to see your friends, but you don't. you couldn't have ran that far, right? you can't hear the either, so you start calling out. maybe if you walk back the way you came, there might be the exit? it's worth a shot, anyways. minutes turn to hours, hours turn to days, and soon enough you realise. you've doomed yourself. you were the one who ran in. who split off from the group. who made it so far that there wasn't even a hope of getting back. you brought this upon yourself. as the years pass by, never aging, never dying, you start to come to terms with your new life. it's cold, damp, and lonely, with not even the eventuality of death to soothe you. you're isolated now. any hummanity you one had is gone. how long has it been since you've seen someone else, you wonder aloud, wandering the twisting corners of your prison. everything looks the same, so for all you know you've been wandering in circles. day after day. week after week. month after month. year after year. slowly going *mad.*

I love how you put all of your effort into a project, compose as magnificent as this and then play it as you wrote it. The little twists in your other videos that are a surprise shout out to a deserving person. The extra money you use to bring people along on your ride to massive success. You are a brilliant person Mr. Lionel. When I have the money, I’d very much like to shake your hand.

I am absolutely in tears by the end. I wasn't expecting this. Many many many experiences in my past coming back. I'm sure this is a piece of musical expression many can relate to. Thank you for making it, thank you for telling her story and honouring the emotion so well. Fantastic 💛
