FINALLY IT IS DONE! We have been working on this project ever since Jakeneutron and his team released the original track, I just knew this needed a broadway style arrangement because of the songwriting and the way they portrayed Amanda and Wooly's character dynamic.
THIS ARRANGEMENT IS STACKED! With 38 amazing amazing people involved. This is heavily inspired by the big band writing of Charlie Rosen and The 8 Bit Big Band, and I may have quoted parts from Beetlejuice the Musical.
And also, this video features an animatic! Made by my good friend, ‪@Scribbity‬ !! Go check her out!
BIG THANKS TO ‪@DreamKittu‬ for voicing Amanda in this one. She did an awesome job reiterating Amanda's character in the style of broadway, it was on point!!! Please go support her!! And also spoiler alert, ‪@Meelz‬ (the original guitar player for Don't Listen is also here as a cameo!) He is a great friend of mine and we've done a couple of works together, and I was very happy when I found out he did the guitars for Don't Listen becoz he is a phenominal musician! Please go support him as well! Also to ‪@Jakeneutron‬ and his team! They did an amazing job with the song, in fact it was so great, it inspired me to arrange this song.

I also wanna give a huge shoutouts to my friends Brenan and Andie for singing in the ensemble!
This is also the first time, I'm debuting my singing on the channel as a lead singer! I am starting to become more confident in singing and I figured I put the skills I've learned back in middle school when I had voice lessons! Please expect more of my singing in the future! :)
I am so happy at how this turned out and this is probably one of my best arrangements yet. And for those of you who don't know it yet, I am now in Uni! I am taking up a Jazz Studies degree and college is starting to heat up, sometimes it is a daunting task to juggle schoolworks and KZbin work, hence the long hiatus of this channel. But rest assured, I'll be posting more stuff soon, just can't promise a consistent schedule all throughout.
Thank you guys so much for continuing to support me, and I hope you enjoy this banging arrangement of "Don't Listen" by Jakeneutron, Meelz, and Toastymarshmellow!

Oh my goodness, I’m at a loss for words on this! This is beyond fantastic, so much detail auditory and visual wise! I don’t think I got the words to describe it outside of the same kind of extra I always try to reach for, and you guys did it flawlessly! Love the cover! Love the video! Love the detail!!

Amanda in the original: sassy, angry, controlling, confused. Amanda is this: wooly stop questioning it and just have some fun! Honestly Im here for both versions.

[@napustangwattanakarn4535]

oh my GOOOOD. This is amazing I'm crying. I could see this performance on Broadway in my head. This paints a more jovial colour to the song but still have that creepy undertone(besides the original lyrics). Like at the end where wooly said "I'm outta here" follows by "oh wooly" implies something like "no you don't", it's even creepier than that part in the original. I. LOVE. THIS.

[@idlehands505]

I like the fact that instead of her just telling him to shut up and stuff it's like as if this is actually planned and he knew what was going to happen and she wasn't actually being mean or anything she's also being kind of passive-aggressive which I like too

[@courtneyoreilly5913]

Honestly I kinda wish this was Amanda and Wooly's friendship 😭 they're so cute and wholesome in this

[@Demonshifter]

Amanda is.. weirdly enough a lot more polite than the original - "shh, its my turn.. shut up." "Okay???"

[@AlexanderSpecland]

I know know but the binary at 0:53 says, "Let me out" over and over. ☠️

i love the wholesomeness of this version, i hope in the 2nd game we get to see more tapes where it is actually just wholesome without anything being wrong, so then when it actually is creepy it catches everyone offguard more, i also want to see more of wooly just being happy, he deserves a break where he can have some wholesome fun with amanda.
