insaneintherainmusic - Invisible Man (Insane In The Rain)

[@temporas4139]

This makes me think of a man walking alone on the New York streets in winter with a light snow fall and looking at everyone else around him with someone while he is by himself. Incredible, really captures the feeling your going for!

[@nathansmith7067]

damn I was feeling that exact same vibe

[@Trianull]

bro this is just me at college right now 💀

[@NicoMendozaMusic]

Absolutely loved playing those long sustains on the fretless here, it was surreal hearing it all come together with the Budapest strings too. This song really gives me the feels!

[@mcheloous]

That bass was amazing, it gave so much "body" or depth, if you'd like, to the recording. Really great when encompassed with the electric guitar and strings. Congrats on another top notch performance!

[@StevenHigbee]

omg is that the Nico Mendoza, huge fan

[@NicoMendozaMusic]

@@StevenHigbee omg is that Steven Higbee???

[@insaneintherainmusic]

So glad we decided to go with the fretless on this one! :D

[@AttackingTucans]

I’m not crying, you’re crying 😭😢 Beautiful! Amazing how much talent you brought together!

[@Wilcompanioni]

Never expected to see AttackingTucans here

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Thanks Tyler :)

[@Gusildirim]

Since you came back with this album, you're really releasing masterpiece after masterpiece. I was already a huge fan of your work before and this was already high level, but now all the new stuff you're releasing is absolutely outstanding

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Aw, thanks so much :)

[@robkovacsmusic]

Ha! I’m glad you liked the “anime moment.” I definitely enjoyed learning and playing this track. And I love how the strings turned out! They add so much.

[@NicoMendozaMusic]

You played so beautifully!

[@Just_Some_Yonko_With_A_Beard]

the gigachad pianist has spoken! nice

[@KHCharlieVA]

Every single time, without fail. I don't know you personally, but I can't help feeling an immense sense of pride whenever you manage to put something out that's wholly and truly your own. Thank you for sharing that with us, and thank you for still being around. Great video, great song, I hope you keep having fun with this!!!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Thanks so much!

[@DDD_Tinker]

InsaneInTheRainMusic has come to bless us with another composition

[@serenepastel]

The chord progressions hit really hard on this one. Both melancholic and trying to reach out. It’s a fascinating tone

[@djSteamyPete]

Man this turned out so well! Had such a fun time filming and color grading this!

[@Sean081799]

Man Josh's guitar tone is so TASTY here! The strings added such a cool color here as well - amazing job!

[@samoftheam]

ooh I like that special dissonance this has, especially in that last piano part. It really captures that sour loneliness you intended! Awesome

[@brooksohana0890]

I have never in my life see someone play triangle with such enthusiasm.

[@bryceallen]

The Flugelhorn in this piece is perfect. Makes me not only want to pick the trumpet back up, but also follow through with getting a Flugelhorn of my own. Great composition and great choice for the performers.

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Flugelhorn is such a beautiful instrument - a great fit for this song!

[@DarkMarxSoul]

When a song makes you laugh and say "It's so good" to yourself while you're sitting alone in your apartment you know it's good. Brb gonna preorder the album immediately.

[@sumabatman]

Playing flugel on this was so much fun bro

[@NicoMendozaMusic]

Killed it man!

[@DomPalombiMusic]

Man I relate to this tune so much, and just the overall build of this tune gets me every time 😭, sooo gooood!!! Favorite Moment is the build up at 4:28 onward, just feels like driving in a car shifting up gears in a highway!

[@mcheloous]

That moment was so good, it shows that you were really in the moment, both in your performance and in your expression!

[@Snowy0428]

100% felt the sorrow and deep feelings you were trying to encapsulate in this song! Amazing work!!

[@matthewLkidder]

Was he going for sorrow? Sounds joyful to me.

[@boaz7634]

@@matthewLkidder You can read the description to gain insight into what feeling Carlos meant to deliver with this song!

[@matthewLkidder]

@@boaz7634 You get that much from the title, I don't hear sorrow in this piece though.

[@boaz7634]

@@matthewLkidder Everyone hears something different in music. He said it himself too, he wants to tell stories with his music. You can interpret it differently which is what makes it exciting too!

[@matthewLkidder]

@@boaz7634 Yeah I can see sorrow, but I was hearing hope, maybe because of the resurrection of his channel's new direction and I'm hoping it kicks off big time.

[@ImRuscelOfficial]

The melody is soaring high!!! The modulations are very creative too!! I love every single second of this, sounds very 80s fusion-y!! :)

[@StevenHigbee]

I really love how this was mixed! Not to mention that guitar tone, fits this so well!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Thank you! Really happy with how these album mixes turned out :)

[@alonelyshrub]

This is one of those songs that you love immediately. Like, in the first few seconds of it playing. Well done, Carlos! I was so proud seeing the orchestra and this milestone for you. Maybe one day you'll do a movie score. Keep doing what you love, and we love it too 💖🙏🏽👍🏽🙌🏽

[@LegoCrafterStudiosAnimation]

There’s so much character in this piece. It’s like a stoic trudge through a storm. It’s a an acknowledgment of weather and wear but also refusal to succumb to it.

[@gadaboutgoblin3382]

Some of the realest stuff I've ever heard.

[@Trumpetdude213]

The tone on that trumpet/flugal is *chefs kiss*

[@boaz7634]

Great song, the strings really make this song so full! I love it! And for everyone reading this comment: I recommend listening to the song, then read the description and listen to it again. That way you can experience the song again, this time maybe with a bit of a different feel. Or maybe your own experience really matches what Carlos tried to deliver 😃

[@subversiveasset]

this is exquisite. I know it probably might feel paradoxical to get a lot of comments sharing how a musical piece about feeling isolated, alone, and invisible is actually very resonant to many people, but here we are...

[@ricomcsuave6348]

I hope you're not feeling invisible anymore, man =D As always, I love the instrumentation on your music!! Also how cool that the Budapest Strings are involved!! =D

[@julianbulatao9527]

god that guitar solo @ 4:39 is just TOO DAMN GOOD. top tier sounds from all of you guys. truly inspiring!!!

[@KnoxNick]

It’s been a joy hearing more of your original compositions. Thank you for a beautiful way to start off my day.

[@picori.]

Every song released so far have been so unique in their own ways! What a moving piece. Budapest Strings were wonderful, and really added to this song!

[@Shiranaisora88]

this sounds like something you might hear on the weather channel in the absolute best way possible. I'm vibing so hard over here.

[@Dall1n]

That guitar solo towards the end slaps

[@GameBlock_]

This one is absolutely beautiful! It fits with the rest of the album with it having almost an encouraging tone, but the slower tempo of it really makes it stand out on its own. I can't wait for Ubuntu and all the songs that follow as well! It's been amazing hearing this album coming together piece by piece, and it's been really cool seeing what compositions you come up with on your own rather than just the VGM covers. (Even though those are incredible as well)

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Thank you! Can't wait for you to hear the whole thing!

[@jacksonbuller1707]

HOOOH. killer. breakdown at 3:05 was exactly what I was hoping to hear in that moment. Carlos is at it again!

[@jdcnawy13]

I absolutely love all the little details spread throughout the arrangement - the emotions really come through! Also, the solo at 4:40 mixes beautifully with the backgrounds :)

[@ashpraterpiano]

I am very glad I pre-ordered this album, every song has been amazing so far. I love the more laid back vibes and feelings of this one.

[@Boe-Yii]

The melody and arrangement are touching to the core! I'm listening for the second day in a row - a complete coincidence of attitude! Thanks friends!!! Keep going for sure!!!

[@Zero_Jack]

Perfect vibes for the rain, reflecting on your life type music. with slight xenoblade and anime flavoring. a perfect blend

[@mcheloous]

You're not alone, Carlos, especially not when surrounded by such a great band and with the invaluable presence of the Budapest strings! 💙💙

[@insaneintherainmusic]

I've learned that lesson, and I am a happier man because of it :D

[@patcoen92]

Instant add to the "Late Night Melancholy" playlist 11/10

[@titanofplasma1129]

I love this, especially the tonality modulations, they're insane (and it's raining).

[@manofsteele777]

might be my favorite yet! Edit: This is my favorite song in the playlist. This one hits different. 💜

[@arcter0912]

This album is so good already I am so excited!!

[@DracoImpact]

Wow Invisible Man has become my favorite song so quickly

[@Just_Some_Yonko_With_A_Beard]

guitarist killed it. I've been waiting for him to get some solos

[@AMTunLimited]

Love the super dramatic shot with the shaker. Also the rest of everything in this video

[@isaacsteen4828]

Whenever you upload your own original tracks, I always imagine them as the soundtrack to a game I've never played... 10/10 carlos, keep it up :)

[@jamalix-music]

This oozes with your handwriting and I'm here for every second of it.

[@Jason-ir5ig]

I love that you just sit on that dissonance from the piano at the beginning and end; it really sets a unique mood

[@TheCreepypro]

the artistry of the song the way the notes and instruments come together it is just incredible what an amazing song

[@toad23567]

This is some baka mitai-like stuff and I'm 100% for it. May you have good fortune in this new step of your career.

[@willwallz]

My favorite so far from what I’ve heard of this album. Fantastic playing from everybody and the strings 🤭🤭

[@skinnypotato9525]

I have a playlist on youtube of just Favorite songs of all time. This is now one of them. I salute

[@sandwich640]

this came earlier than I expected and I'm very happy. Thanks for another amazing composition, Carlos!

[@JimmothyAsteriskCheeseburger]

This one is so good! I've listened to it so many times! I've probably listened to it for around 3 hours already.

[@ninjadude36]

Great track! I really wish your original tracks got more attention, they absolutely deserve it

[@Bronzor_]

Simply beautiful, the song tells a story without vocals

[@TripleBMusic]

Gaaaahhh they just keep getting better and better!!

[@TripleBMusic]

The last chord is maximum melancholy spice

[@Shiranaisora88]

This is my absolute favorite of your independent stuff 😭❤️😭 it's been on repeat since release (I can't wait until the vinyl ship!) Congratulations again, Carlos!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Thank you so much!

[@Failpositive]

So wonderful. Incredible work, Carlos! It's so amazing that you've been able to put this album together and I've been loving following the journey!

[@storm5936]

If I didn't know this was an original composition, I could easily believe that this was played during a heartfelt cutscene in a JRPG like Xeno, fantastic work once again Carlos & I can't wait for the next track from the album dude 👍

[@HarrishCMusic]

This is beautiful. Can’t wait to hear the other tracks!

[@prismatica_official]

He’s back? HES BACK AND NO-ONE TOLD ME?!? AND ITS BEAUTIFUL!

[@SiveenO]

They say that those who peak early in their career fade into obscurity quickly. You better not be peaking yet, man. This is amazing.

[@insaneintherainmusic]

I hope not! Haha

[@JibbityJenkins]

A man walks down a rainy New York sidewalk. Cars splash water onto the pavement as they wiz by; their yellow blurred between the drops of water and late night fog. The man wears a trenchcoat; his hands hidden in his pockets, and his neck obscured by the cuff of his collar. No one sees the man as he makes his way through the stormy night. He has left his home, he has left his job, he has left his previous life; forced to by the inevitable truth. He makes his way forward through the rain; one step of his brown shoes at a time. This is the Invisible Man.

[@boks02_]

I haven't checked back in the channel in close to a year and WOW this is amazing

[@ithaka_music]

When I heard this song I think the phrase "screaming into the void of the night" came to mind. On one hand its sorrowful, yet at the same time our desire to just be heard by someone or something is really compelling. I really loved this piece and I cant wait to hear what comes next!

[@Metabl1p]

I was listening to Snarky Puppy's album "Sylva" the other day, this feels like it would be right at home on it. Incredible work!

[@broomturtle3168]

This might be my new favorite on the album! I'm loving your work dude!

[@MrLuka-xy8dy]

Incredible! I heard the first 10 seconds of this and then I started reading the description. It was literally what I was thinking while listening to this. It really conveys that feeling. Incredible work right here 🔥🔥⭐💯✨

[@Pixcele]

i swear every time i hear you play I can just tell right away, I love your sound and as someone who is starting to play tenor sax more I'm definately inspired by it!!! You've been a huge inspiration for my saxophone playing during high school and now that I'm finally in university I'm seeing everything i've worked on start to come together a lot more and I have listening to your music over the years to thank for a good chunk of my growth

[@ryancozzolino7832]

This does an outstanding job at eliciting the desired emotion in a listener.

[@thoughtsforthebuilders]

right in the pocket in every sense, great work homie.

[@RatchetSly]

This piece was lovely, very much looking forward to the album!

[@NeoPepiz]

Cela me fait beaucoup penser à quelques OST de Xenoblades Chronicles 2, l'intervention des violons et même certains accords. C'est en tout cas (comme toujours) magnifique. Félicitations Maitre Carlos, tout ce travail ne cesse de me surprendre. J'ajouterai que la prestation de ce cher Jules est toujours exceptionnelle. Je vous suis tous les 2 depuis trèèèès longtemps et c'est fou ce génie qui vous habite !

[@frankjiao8574]

My favorite song yet! Love the soft dissonance on the piano to start the song, really sets somber yet intense tone!

[@Tsunakumura]

This tune has been stuck in my head for days now. It's definitely my favorite on your album. Truly an amazing composition. :)

[@kleingrrmpf]

Thank you for this song. Feeling invisible sometimes too. This song perfectly encaptures the sadness but somehow also hope for becoming visible again! Beautiful! The chorus on the guitar is a big part of that! I'm sorry I missed bandcamp friday yesterday, but I guess I'll buy it next month. Thank you

[@Beth-id5mq]

I think your whole album is brilliant but this is definitely one of my favourites, just awesome well done.

[@osher590]

I like the transition, I love what you do and I know that you deserve to be heard for who you are so I’ll listen and enjoy, just keep at it king🥇

[@melonlord4396]

I think this might be my favourite composition you've done, this is incredible! You capture the feeling you've described perfectly in my opinion, this bittersweet isolated determination that we all need to find within ourselves when we feel like the world is caving in around us.

[@Neerana]

Absolutely gorgeous piece. Loved every second and can't wait to hear more!

[@jahosefah4268]

I'm really glad you've moved on to doing your own compositions! I loved all of your cover work but it's just as important as an artist to create yourself. Keep it smooth, man.

[@RoxYgen03]

What an incredible piece! Loved that guitar solo at the end! Wow!

[@jumbanixxyz]

Wow dude, this song is so good, in a rainny day like this is perfect

[@chaseimai4838]

Insane, man, thank you for writing this. I have loved every song off this album. This piece is beautiful. Thank you for continuing to share your work with all of us.

[@ConnorGrail]

great performances all around, and it's all recorded so well. Drum kit and guitar tone are mmm mmm mmmmm

[@TheMissMousey]

i've loved all ur pieces but i feel like this one is such a vibe....... definitely see myself listening to this on a cold autumn day :3c

[@rayjoa888]

The perfect amount of enigma, fanciness and a smooth feeling. Excellent piece!

[@CluelessAnon]

Wonderful as always! Probably my favorite of your original works so far. The Budapest Strings really add to the slightly sorrowful flavor of it.

[@tavitay9737]

This is such a gorgeous song I feel so emotional

[@DayKat8]

This has real Risk of Rain 2 ost vibes, I love it!

[@kylethompson4543]

Absolutely gorgeous piece here... Strings and jazz are a match made in heaven!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Big agree!

[@shreeshayelameli]

I love how inspirations from video games and anime present so clearly in this piece while still focusing on your unique musical voice. I can't help but think that "Invisible Man" by Ralph Ellison was also an inspiration for this song. The name of the piece and the story you're telling reminds me a lot of that book, which I think is amazing. I've also taken a lot of inspiration from that book in my works over the years. It's so interesting to see people's different perceptions of what it feels like to be invisible. This is not really how I felt when I felt invisible, but it's a genuinely believable perspective. The quality of music is always very high, but I've only seen this level of storytelling and emotional depth in a few of your pieces. Overall, one of the most thought-provoking InsaneInTheRain pieces.

[@brentladue]

straight fire dude you got nothing but hits so far, love it!

[@kamisura]

Enjoyed every second of this song. Really powerful starting as a deep and sorrowful melody and then a build up near the end. Kinda like you are in the dark, but will eventually reach the light at the end, stay strong.

[@kamisura]

To add on to the fact you can hear what is trying to be said with with the main melody is just beautiful. You don't know the words, but you can perceive them as how you want.

[@Dameentsia]

Absolutely insane dude, you killed it

[@Daytonious]

Fantastic music as always! I look forward to the next one!

[@Samwize1]

Very nice. I really like the flow of the chords and melody.

[@StephOfAnime]

THIS SONG IS SO ANIME!! I can see the dramatic walk sequence in the rain full of self reflection and feeling! Haha definitely my favorite song so far!

[@okgoodgame]

too true. lets call it what it is, this song is GG (good game)
