Miku's On Melancholy Hill

Up on melancholy hill I saw a blue haired figure smiling at me.

Fun fact: I very first found out about Miku Hatsune in an article that was comparing her to the Gorillaz as a way of explaining music acts that don't have human performers but have live shows that are done via animated holograms. So hearing Miku cover a Gorillaz song feels very fitting....as well as elevating this already amazing song to new dreamlike heights.

I was waiting for the " *AAAAA* _aaaaa_ " at 0:27 so badly. Also, dude... Awesome cover. Bloody freakin' brilliant.

[@alabasterindigo]

I rediscovered my love for Vocaloid because of you. I didn’t listen to any for the longest time because of a bad relationship, and I swear, it’s like rediscovering a piece of myself after so long without it. Feels wonderful.

[@empyrealcultist1992]

[@goofygoon]

Absolutely made my day. Brought back middle school memories and it's an Astrophysics miku track.

[@VerySoftTea]

You are possibly my favorite musical artist of all time. I've never seen another artist capture the beautiful, melancholic, nostalgic and lonely feeling that your synthwave miku songs capture. They aren't just songs that I listen to casually, they are special to me and I always feel strong emotions every time I listen to them no matter how many times I listen to them. I've spent this year doing my country's mandatory military/civil service and I've been delivering mail every night in an attempt to save a little money before going to university. I've been listening to your First Sound of The Future Past album like literally every night while working. Listening to it really hits different while driving alone in the snowy winter night and delivering mail. I don't think I've ever listened to an album this much without getting tired of it. What you've created here is truly something beautiful and it will always be the defining piece of music that reminds me of this phase of my life in the future. In 40 years I'll listen to these and they'll bring me right back to 2023 and remind me of this time in my life.

[@Dorian_Scott]

Every single Miku cover introduces me to an artist that probably would not have otherwise found.

[@Soladrin]

Wait how did you not know Gorillaz? Thats actually baffling to me haha.

[@salvadorgonzales1]

[@Dorian_Scott]

@@Soladrin I just never really listened to Gorrilaz songs. Not that I hated them or anything, I just simply didn't.

[@zenogias01]

@@Dorian_Scott Nothing wrong with that. I think about it like this: sometimes you don't realize you like a band or a song until you hear it remixed to a style more your liking.

[@Yasviele]

When I saw this in my subscription I was overjoyed, one of my favorite songs from my favorite albums and now a take from Astrophysics? dreams come true

[@ThatMattaTatta]

Thank you for bringing this song back to me, I'd forgotten how it felt to listen to this song until now. It's odd, in a way, I've not really moved far away from where I was when this song first came out. Or perhaps, I've merely come full circle: a very large circle, but still a circle nonetheless. While my own melancholy back then was brutal, and this was one of the only sources of catharsis, I made it out just fine. So to hear this song again at this time, it reminds me that I've trodden this ground before, and assures me that I will still make it out just fine.

[@diinosuke]
