Think metal, think !!!

[@Sonicoval]

That's my line

[@Cold-q5k]

And, at the end of that fight, my guy dropped the hardest line when he was about to die. "There can be only one Sonic..."

[@donaldscottishengine]

"now we can get down to the real fight! the last sonic standing will be the winner." *metal sounds* "huh, this world isn't big enough for the both of us and one of us has to go?" *more metal sounds* "WELL, I AGREE!"

[@lauralima862]

When I first heard the lyrics from the OVA, like any kid, I was like: "Wow! Cool song!". But then, a few years later, I searched for the lyrics and was a little disappointed for the lack of a meaning (I'm an Spanish speaker with bad hearing, along with many other defects...) Right now, I could scream from sheer joy for hearing this song, with a new voice and a new meaning. To say that I love this "remake" of the song is an understatement. I adore it ♥

[@PoorPescado]

there's _kinda_ a meaning to the original, you just gotta have severe brain damage and people who're smarter than you to tell you what it means

[@lauralima862]

@@PoorPescado Like I said, I searched for the lyrics and those may have been wrong. And, for the record, I know I'm stupid, but there is going to be someone smarter, stronger and simply better than you and me ALWAYS. Oh, but it's not like it matters, since, in the end, we'll just become a memory and our existence in this world will fade with time, in a few decades perhaps (just try to recall the names of your great great grandparents if I'm wrong). If the sun, the astral king, is fated to vanish one day, there is so little we can do that will give purpose to our lives. Oh, but here we are: debating of the meaning of a song we both like, but we may forget in our elderly. Idiot, clumsy, stupid, hopeless, vermin, parasite... I have called myself every name in my life, and if you're coming here just to call me "stupid", you're coming too late.

[@nowayjosetm29]

@@lauralima862 I wouldn't say you're stupid, i agree with poor pescado that the original lyrics do kinda makes sense, it's describing things that *are alike* like sonic and metal sonic, it's just in engrish, because im gonna guess the writers for the song were japanese and didn't know much english so that's why some of it sounds rather nonsensical, so i wouldn't blame you for not understanding, but if you think and look closely, the og lyrics kinda make sense, this is a real good adaption and makes those engrish lyrics sound more english.

[@SaiyanGamer95]

Actually, there is a meaning. The song is about how various things, like Sonic and Hyper Metal Sonic, are alike, yet different. Ice and water are different, yet similar.

[@Die171292]

The lyrics didnt need to be fixed, its called figuritive speech. So... for help of the original lyrics here is a little Translation of the meaning/context he song speaks about similarities between Sonic and Metal Sonic by giving comparations of various objects that, though can look like different (and sometimes superior) things, are really the same. It could be even a prelude to the dialogues of Metal Sonic in Sonic Heroes. "Ice and water": two states of the materials "Steak and cow": meat in two different forms "Autumn, this year and last year": The same station in two different years, with almost identical characteristics. "Spark and burn": A case of japanglish. "Burn" refers to the fire. A spark and fire can burn. "Rain and cloud": again, two states of the materials. "Tuesday, Wednesday, so is Friday": Three days in which usually a routine is followed. "How 'bout moons and headlights": Both can illuminate a dark night. "What I say and what I think": Usually our words reflect our thoughts. "A, B, C, D, E, F…": At the end, simple letter which alone don't have an specifical meaning. "A short while ago I was born, and I memorized by a lot of names": This is about Metal Sonic when he was created. It's a case of japanglish that tries to state that he was made with Sonic's strenghts but trying to overcome his weaknesses. "Air and oxygen": We breath air, which is composed by many elements, but we can be given pure oxygen if needed in case of an illness. "Money and wallet, sterling sparkling": Again a case of japanglish. The first reffers to paper currency, the second to credit/debit cards, the third to coins. All of them used to pay. "History and history books": You can learn of history by living it or by reading it. "Night and universe": It's more in a poetical way. It reffers to the starry sky. "Human ocean, foot in pool": A bit poetical. Means that something that can appear as really big to someone, to others could look really small. "Imagery and real life": You can record something to "live it" again. "A long time ago one caveman had a busy life making tons of names": Though a history lesson, this reffers to Sonic, who had to develope all his abilities since he was born, when Metal Sonic was created with all of them. "Everything is born from this planet: a number, a TV, even thoughts that entertain": With "this planet" it means something that was useful to develope the civilization as we know it. We needed numbers to start understanding our world; the TV was an invention that allowed to be in other places without actually being there, therefore allowing a better understanding of the world; and our thoughts led to ideas that made possible other inventions. "Everything came out of this planet: a boyfriend, a pencil, even your new videos": With this we have the opposite: things that we could want but aren't really needed. Babies can be born even if there isn't love between two persons; you don't need to write everything if you understand things correctly; and, well, we (maybe) could make it without Netflix or KZbin. Both of cases are alike in the way that both were created when people started to think, understand and manipulate their environment.

[@mcmistle9892]

Nice, the lyric changes are good and keep with the original feel of the song, as well as being a bit more laid back which is nice compared to the more fast paced song.

[@LilBoulder]

Very nice, the soft reverb really adds a lot. Good stuff!

[@Perfect_fusion_1380]

I've just discovered this channel and i have been loving every song. You have a very good voice and this song is perfect

3:07 Always gives me chills everytime. Metal truly is the antithesis of Sonic and is forever determined to eradicate everything the heroic hedgehog holds dearly.

[@groovyfox2889]

This is what the original song should've been. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Riu's vocals and the instrumentals of the original version, but this one definitely makes more sense lyrics-wise. If SEGA ever remakes this song, I hope they do something as cool as you did with this song. But hey, you did spectacular with this rendition! I'm gonna be listening to this on loop the same way I listened to the original song on loop when I was a kid. Nicely done! 👍👍👍👍

[@tonyhakston536]

Honestly in hindsight the lack of sense sorta works better for the perspective. The speaker is stated to have been “born” recently, so it’s more than likely to have been Metal. If you’ve played around with AI before, you’ll know a mechanical mind would make these exact sorts of absurd but technically correct connections when writing song lyrics.

[@Mangaka-Knight]

I love this song and you've made it better!

[@Anarchyverse]

You have such an unique talent, keep up the amazing work! I honestly adore this and would love to see more in the future.

Yo this cover slaps fr. Love all your remixes, too. Very high quality

[@johnmacintyre3051]

Amazing work on this cover. I love how you gave it your own vibe while still keeping the essence of the original. Your take is laid back and dreamy, a nice contract to the more hard driving pace of the original.

[@flameoko]

oh, oh...........oh, this sound GREAT!! you strongly executed the cover of this Sonic OVA music, and not to mention actually hearing the lyrics without subtitles (the Subs there for the original Sonic OVA Look-A-Like because you barely hear what they're saying without it) yeah that, that just sound good for what you and your team made in your version. that earn not only a "Look, but A-Like" from me

[@zeusthefox1585]

This is my favorite version of this theme this is incredible!!

It's official! This is definitely my favorite cover which came from you, you did a fantastic job with this cover, just as you've done with your others. Keep doing what you do best, and feel free to try other things too, which I know you've been doing^^

[@timatuneage4144]

I feel like this would work really well in the next sonic movie. Especially since we’re being introduced to another look-alike.

[@WaterKirby1994]

I'm kind of partial to "Because you're wonderful, a short while ago, I was born! I was born!" I still want to see a Japanese Version of this song someday, I wonder how long it will take for that to happen? Metal Sonic was created because of how incredible Sonic was & the song's lyrics reflect that at that moment.

[@Taya_636]

[@kapparomeo]

My first experience of the Sonic OVA was the trailers that were included in the Movie Theatre section of Sonic Jam on the Saturn. This was the mid-90s and a decade before KZbin was founded - and even Amazon was still just a book mail-order service! - and we had no way to watch videos other than booting up the CD. I must have watched that trailer a thousand times, it was a rare window into a completely alien world I had no hope of accessing myself. This song played over the second half of the trailer - it was complete and total incomprehensible gibberish to me, but the line "I notice, I notice!" still sang out over images of Metal Sonic's sinister red eyes and made an indelible impression. Thanks for turning that memorable moment into a full song!

[@WiirdoU]

I love your version of the lyrics and the music arrangement! Great job !!

[@BlueStarTwo]

As much as I love the original, odd lyric choice and all, man, this is fantastic. The Lo-Fi style is fitting and the reworked lyrics are excellent. Another stellar performance

[@setherly9137]

The way you sing "I notice" is so pretty

[@Galgus2000]

The lyrics hit the same mood as the original with a more coherent message, for lack of a better term. I love your singing. The end card art is nice, though the twitter link you give goes to a blank page now.

[@Famouspuppy59]

[@mattypaul87]

I love the part "on this planet, running with freedom." Not sure if it was intentional, but it's a nod to the OVA where the planet is called "Planet Freedom." Nice touch!

3 years passed and this is the best cover of this music!!!!

[@christmasislandproductions3251]

This needs much more attention. You preserve a lot of the lyrics so it is still very recognizable but make improvements where necessary (extremely necessary).

[@End_Zionism]

[@jordanpeterson5038]

Not a lot of people do a fan cover of this song. Glad someone did, and with a more gentle approach to it.

[@silverwind3766]

Was looking for a Japanese version of the song because the original English lyrics are so bad when I found this gem. Love both of your Japanese versions but the improved English lyrics are even better. It's a couple of years late but I was wondering if you ever put these vastly improved English lyrics to the original track recreation?

[@DreamKittu]

I don’t have any plans to re-record this, no. The tempos are different so I can’t put the existing vocal over the track.

[@MicahBuzanANIMATION]

I disagree that the lyrics are bad. They are creative and quirky. I like this newer version too that is more to the point. But art doesn't have to be super easy to understand to be good. Sometimes a bit of mystery is fun.

[@TheMeganicShow]

I had this OVA when I was a kid on VHS and never understood a word of this song, I love the title to this video lol.

​@@DreamKittu I created a Bandcamp account and downloaded your songs and signed up for emails. Thanks for the awesome songs! Cosmic Eternity is so smooth and different, but I like it just like the original, and Look-a-Like is more similar to the original, which is already one of my top-tier songs. I also decided to pick up "Fate of the Galaxies", which is nice, but had not heard before. Is that original? Anyway, I'm game for more Sonic CD songs (I can imagine you singing, "Mr. Bad's got it good, but this ain't his neighborhood he's taking over...No, no."), but whatever you move on to, keep up the great work!
