[@samuelguyver9074]

Definitely adding to power song playlist 😮

Stand proud Amalee, you’re strong.

Good music ✅ Rhyme lyrics ✅ Great MV ✅ Even accomplishing the first two is already hard

[@andrewsutherland133]

My autograph poster just came in and I just want to take this opportunity to show my appreciation for both the poster and decade of anime music

[@punpunforfun]

The line "My knees will never know the ground" is just SO FIERCELY POETIC I'M FOAMING AT THE MOUTH

[@LeeandLie]

hahaha thank you!! proud of that one I am

[@punpunforfun]

@@LeeandLie you should be!! Your lyrics do have a wonderful tendency to balance thought-provoking profoundness and a sense of intrigue with a sort of assertive boldness that wouldn't be out of place for an anime protagonist. Like, the former applies to "My knees will never know the ground", while the latter applies to lines like "But through it all, my devotion, it burns strong." Which I'm aware might not be applicable to ALL your original lyrics and songs, (ex: Drink Your Light has different vibes which I LOVE) but at the very least it's something I've come to appreciate with this particular one. I CAN confidently say that the delivery (aka your singing) has only gotten stronger and more emotional and just better overall over the years!! There's definitely a fullness and vocal control that wasn't there yet back when you were doing like... English covers of SAO songs, is what I remember. Those rocked (including the April fools versions lmao) Sorry for accidentally writing an essay in the comments!! I think I got a little carried away. Thank you for replying to my OG comment and for making content for us all in general!!!

I'll be the lyrics person this time: The autumn leaves, they fall But I am left the same A thousand years have passed But still, nothing has changed What's left to give when you have met the end? The petals fall and leave a barren stem I feel it crumbling somewhere inside of me My strength, my love, my sanity But through it all, my devotion, it burns strong Another moment - Another memory Another tear to tear me down But I keep fighting My knees will never know thе ground I want to keep your memory, won't forget But can it find a way to hurt me lеss It's my devotion, it cuts me open time again I thought that love that light would forever mine The beating of your heart, it's only in my mind I close my eyes and see all my mistakes A throne of gold, a perfect masquerade I feel it set to flame somewhere inside of me My pain, my hate, my clarity But through it all, my devotion, it burns strong Another moment - Another memory Another tear to tear me down But I keep fighting My knees will never know the ground I want to keep your memory, won't forget But can it find a way to hurt me less It's my devotion that cuts me open time again My undying devotion My undying devotion I want to keep your memory, won't forget But can it find a way to hurt me less It's my devotion, it cuts me open time again It's my devotion, it cuts me open time again

A hero we needed

[@Rakamadafadac]

I remember finding out AmaLee when she covered Angel Beats all those years ago and instantly becoming a fan happy to see her flourish in what she is doing, and she deserves all the success. All the best to our scuff queen Monarch !!!

[@TyroTalks]

Dude same. I found her when she covered aLIEz. So happy she has original work

[@thesuperdak7224]

For me it was Jingo Jungle!

[@philliprosewood7049]

Still got that aldnoah zero amalee cover amv with slaine such a good video

[@demongirl1019]

I think i first found her when she did her old Magica cover, then i discovered she also had Angel Beats covers and a Subbed then and there. GOD I'M 21 WHY DO I FEEL OLD 😭😭

[@philliprosewood7049]

@@demongirl1019 i mean I myself just turned 26 on the 2nd so you ain't that old 😅 but amalee is amazing her version of asphyxiation from Tokyo ghoul re is phenomenal if u haven't heard it check it out

[@sn0wc4st42]

"keep fighting, to move forward and towards a better tomorrow" That's the vibes I get from this song, and that means a lot amalee, especially nowadays where things seem like they'll never get better, but sometimes this is the push we need to keep going.

[@wave7090]

Same Hence why I reminds me of honkai impact 3rd

@@wave7090 A fellow depresso enjoyer I see... brilliant taste.

[@laffytaffy9656]

Fr, "But I'll keep fighting, my knees will never know the ground" is such a strong line Reminds me of my own line with similar vibes, "I may not reach my happy ending but I'll sure as hell defend yours."

[@SadSynth]

Sonically: This rocks. The music is amazing, the melody is great. Emotionally: very powerful and vulnerable. You poured your heart into this and it shows. Well done to everyone

[@MaidenOfArktur_Official]

Hello, I'm a fellow Honkai impact 3rd player👋 Seriously, this LEGIT feels like a Honkai Impact 3rd soundtrack for an Animation Short film, and I'm living for it👌

[@LeeandLie]

I was cast as the English voice of Jingliu in Honkai: Star Rail after writing most of this song, and I thought it was kinda funny how well it also fit her

[@S0F1A002]

YEEES JUST YES

[@britishneko3906]

now I want her to dub a Part 2 character-

[@Dracandrael]

I can't get enough of this single. The emotions of happiness, joy, then turn to anguish, rage, despair, and sadness in Ama's face as she holds Lee in her arms at the end is palpable. And through it all, she won't forget any of it, despite the pain of the memory she holds onto. The resolve of her devotion is there for all to see. Woe betide those that would cross her, or besmirch Monarch's name and goals.

[@KiraAotsuki]

Holy shit I REALLY wasnt ready for this MV. Ive been jamming to this on spotify all morning and that BROKEN expression on Amas face transitioning to the epic determination REALLY sells this song. Props to EVERYONE GOD ITS SO GOOD 🎶🔥🎶

I'm not crying, you are! "I want to keep your memory, won't forget. But can it find a way to hurt me lеss~" 😭😭 This is sooo beautiful Miss Lee 😭🙈🦋🧜‍♀️🫶💙🥺✨️ to those who lost someone or something and weren't able to face it for a long time, it's okay you guys, you're not alone! Gambatteee!! 🫶💪

I swear that you NEED TO MAKE AN ANIME OF THIS MONARCH!!! With beautiful songs 😭✊🏼🦋💎👑

[@Amiibo21]

That would’ve been awesome to see

[@LeeandLie]

Would be a dream!!

[@Salem-1610]

Due to Monach being tied to the multiverse, we would need to get licencing deals with a bunch of anime and maybe a few American based franchises too if we're daring enough with the big ones being Marvel, DC, and Star Wars. Then we would have to hire a good animation studio. While it would be fucking awesome to get a Monarch anime, it'd be expensive as hell.

[@llcxanna3408]

Not if it was her origin story before she enters the multiverse. That's how I'd see it be able to be done. Still will cost alot of money that's how these things go

[@unknownvanguard8749]

​@@llcxanna3408 Seeing one related to her adventures throughout the multiverse would be fucking dope though. Here's to hoping something like that becomes a reality.

[@bastiancole3565]

Adding a rock spin to these monarch songs is definitely doing it for me.

[@RoxyGotMoxy.]

I have a D&D character who i've been trying to find the theme song for. This is it. Especially the line about knees never knowing the ground. Thank you for this @LeeandLie AmaLee. Beautiful & powerful song, with an equally amazing video. You never cease to amaze.

[@LapisRoseCh]

I just wanted to say that I have been a fan for years, and all your original songs have a permanent place in my playlists. I use music to write, and imagine my shock and excitement while I was struggling to write a scene for my protagonist and I see that you've posted something new. A something that fits him so well. Pure coincidence I know, but it still brought tears to my eyes as I pictured him singing this song to himself. Thank you Amalee.

whenever i need motivation or need to hype myself up i listen to this song. could be such a good show.

Well, I knew it was only a matter of time until she made me cry again. Having seen that lore video and how it ties into this, what is an absolute banger of a song is also sad. Thanks for the song, Amalee.

This song actually has a point. We get knocked down so many times it feels like quitting is better for us, when it's actually not. We're human, after all, we fall over and over, and Holding devotion to something until the very end is what makes us stronger. I especially like the phrase "It cuts me open Time again", because it very solemnly states this purpose.
