【Music】Pest

[@biscuitallis71]

The fact you wrote in Monarch of Monsters's description on Bandcamp that this album was originally going to be about Starlight Glimmer and then have her getting killed and dilacerated in the first song was such an insane move, i could never have predicted that.

[@punkitt]

The parts where your voice is so strained from how hard you're singing are incredible. Thank you for this.

[@frogge8034]

oh hey punky, you got me into vylet and here i am still listening

[@Autistic_Menace00]

…..hi punkett from funnie ponie… r u seeing this shit rn /pos

If this is how good the opener is I'm not ready for the full album holy shit

MY EYES ARE GONNA BURST WHEN THE FULL ALBUM COMES OUT

[@oVerdrive-pt5uk]

Hold up.. her writing is THIS fire??

[@UtopiaTree]

always has been

[@pansitocosmico8368]

this is so familiar of what she normally does, but at the same time so refreshing, I dont understand how Vylet can be so good at making songs

[@jasmine.rchrds]

it genuinely boggles my mind

[@redishfries]

I'm impressed too. this is lots better than the mainstream music. it's a shame she's not given enough recognition :/

[@the_furry_inside_your_walls639]

​@butterfriies Probably for the best that she isn't mainstream. Corporations and record labels would ruin the image and message she wants to spread in an attempt to sterilize her sound and writing for wider audiences.

[@cynicalsix]

it's really awesome to see you give warnings for both the art and lyrics. its super rare to see artists be so considerate. excited for the full album

november is going to be awesome. new vylet, new linkin park, new weeknd. hog heaven

[@CloyMush]

I hate how well this loops and loops and loops Reminds me of when id cry myself into a fit about my circumstances and eventually restart with a meltdown the same exact way the next day as my circumstances did not, in fact, change

[@ShadTheCheese]

This, in my opinions is your best album opener yet. And the chorus at the end, amazing. 🐺

[@ReynLynxPSI]

Fuck, this song nearly made me cry. I have a strong feeling this'll end up being my album of the year.

[@svntax]

This is making me SO fucking emotional I was straight up speechless during the bridge and fucking screaming the chorus. This is heartwrenchingly beautiful Vylet

[@aidey833]

The Penumbra references Vylet sometimes make get me because thats the song that really sparked my love for her as an artist, and themes of becoming the monster you shaped yourself to be fuck me up. I won’t survive this album.

[@Taperosc]

What an opener. Jesus. Piano, guitar, heavy drums all flowing together. Especially in that hard hitting final chorus. I was keen for Monarch before. I absolutely cannot wait now.

[@amidthefight6915]

Arguably the best rock song VP has done to date, though it’s always hard, maybe foolish, to assign genres in this catalog. While many have shined before, the confidence in the performance is unmatched. The hits keep coming.

[@thisisweirderthanyou9855]

i can feel the heart in every single second of this track. i can hear the pain and self hatred in vylet's vocal performance. i feel it too. its just this song is so incredibly powerful. i wish i had more to say but i'm still gathering my thoughts after listening to this. this song is special. extremely so. and i just cannot wait to hear the rest of this album when it comes out. its going to be one hell of a ride and i for one am buckled in and ready to go down this. i am not exagerrating when i say this is probably the most a single song has ever impacted me. i love this.

[@SecretDen]

Self-hate is one hell of a thing, hope you have/will learn to accept and forgive yourself whoever reads this. On other note, music is truly amazing

[@skiesquiggles7319]

Everything about this song is extremely my shit and awesome But I wanted to say that the mixing is SUPER impressive, your vocals don't get lost under the melody at all even when it feels like it's being as loud and bombastic as possible. Very cool to me!

[@stardust2441]

This album is going to make me feel new emotions I can already tell

[@InfaredPlays]

I KNEW I HEARD A Hush! MOTIF IN HERE

[@glass_shard]

this is a masterpiece and one of your best songs yet. carousel is my favorite album of all time and i'm getting so invested in how this is recontextualizing and interfacing with the themes in that album. i'm on the edge of my seat to hear the full album, it's nervewracking and so so exciting

[@carpetjam1264]

im glad you're getting everything out in this one, i fucking loved the parts of the chorus where you just let loose and poured your heart into it, it was an awesome experience being there for it live cant wait for monarch, thanks for making this fucking experience of an album

[@Aulyptus]

Somehow after all this time you continue to music unlike ANYTHING I’ve ever heard and it is still what I live for. Thank you again for everything!!!!

[@Lemomew]

I was here for the premier but didn’t have time to comment, this song (and I’m sure the entire album will as well) hit me, I’ve been in a horrible place the past 2 months and this made me cry so fast. Thank you for your music, it’s wonderful

[@paws94]

HELP NO BC THIS IS ACTUALLY SO GOOD???? I LOVE THIS?? SO MUCH?? AND THE ENTIRE ALBUMS GONNA BE FIRE IM TELLING U. ANOTHER BANGER FRRR

[@CantbeCyril]

Currently in my Senior highschool years now and I've been playing your music on my route to school. I love how not only your songs are relatable but also how impactful your vocals hit in every album. I'm so glad I started listening to your music🫶🏼

[@catsune5360]

This is a very special song to me honestly. I remember playing a melody on piano that sounds exactly like the melody of Pest. I loved that melody so much but I didn't have the musical skills or DAW to make it into an actual song, so I just played the melody over and over again. When I saw the snippet of Pest I was estatic, it felt like the universe had granted my wishes. And now the full song is here and I've never been more happier, satisfied and also terrified. The melody itself coming to life and the execution of the song is already amazing enough, I dare not ask for more, yet it gave me more. I didn't expect Pest's lyrics to also reflect those inner thoughts I've been having for years. The weird thing though is that despite it being quite disturbing, its also oddly comforting. It makes me feel heard and less alone. And I guess I'm just glad that on top of it all, this song describes my pain in a way I couldn't. Not sure if I can / should listen to Monarch of Monsters album if I'm in this kind of headspace, perhaps Pest is the furthest I can listen for now. But I'm satisfied enough to have listened to Pest.

[@GildedPants]

The re-contextualization of the line from Penumbra gave me goosebumps before I even read the description and AGHH this is so interesting. If Wolf is being sent after evil souls, does this mean that Starlight never actually made well?? Does making well not actually resolve you of evil???? The wording of the verse also blurs things in such an intriguing way. Like, is it Starlight rehashing the thoughts she had in Penumbra as she is slain? Is it Wolf echoing those same thoughts?? I'm really excited to see Wolf fleshed out more,,

[@RabbitintheHat]

holy fuck the story of this album and this song hits so close to home for me im already in love with it vylet's music has been helping me through a lot of tough shit lately, both in terms of me relating to it, making me come to terms with some parts of myself that i thought i'd long buried, and it's helped me cope with loss that i still blame myself for even now i think the story of this album might end up being the next part of my healing process; i'm very thankful that i found vylet's music and i've got every intention to keep listening, because it has genuinely helped me so much i can't wait to hear more from this album, i'm already looping this song if that says anything, and i can't wait to hear more music in the future too

[@fishyfern]

oh my god her vocals are so stunning on this one, no words can show how eager i am for this album

[@Benjo787]

Listening to your music i often think "man, i wish i made that" that happened again with this song, i'm excited to listen to the full album, this is amazing

[@g5lunar]

how the heck does vylet pony produce so good

[@morsclue]

I wanna learn from her

[@vvsvlogsYT]

years of practice, trial and error, and artistic development anyone can make the music they want to make with enough time in most cases the music makes them

[@QuirkyTurtle2]

​@@vvsvlogsYTare you the minister of Think?

[@kothepowcardfan11]

this is just the beginning and yet its already pulling at my emotions? Good God I can't wait for this album.

[@kesleryt]

Words can’t express how excited I am for Monarchs if this is the first song we’re hearing from it. Also that guitar at 3:34??? Sheeeeeeeeesh.

[@pointwoods]

I listen to this song a lot, often as a form of reminding myself of my own misdeeds. Maybe that's not healthy, but it's often the only way I know to process my emotions. That may make it a somewhat negative experience for me at times, but addressing my feelings of self hatred is the one way I know to quell them, at least the only one that doesn't involve a razor. I usually listen to all of monarch, but this song, in particular, embodies the way I feel about myself in a certain way. Despite all that, I'm very glad that this song exists and I think vylet is very honest in her music and the ways she expresses incredibly upsetting thoughts and feelings. So, thank you, vylet.

[@toxicbavariankitten]

Absolutely smashed it! Might just be your best song yet. It absolutely destroyed me emotionally (in a positive way, I havent cried in a long time for that much). Tysm trixie

[@TheOrangVegetal]

Album isnt even out yet and im already crying. Incredible

[@BiscuitCrewProductions]

oh my god this sounds SO PRETTY

[@SolivagantTourist]

the trailer itself that i've watched over and over gave me chills every time; this made my hair curl in the sheer power of this album's opening.

[@vex17]

what a masterpiece. really excited for the full album because i've always really enjoyed vylet's more serious music

[@Errorsatz]

Really like the harmonica after the chorus, slow in and out like catching your breath

[@redishfries]

one of the most heartwrenching songs of yours. whatever u went through, hope you're better now, vylet/trixie. since i discovered your music i never stopped listening again, they are the only songs i feel i can relate to a true, deep level. I have to say i relate to this one too, like most of your pieces. but let's keep on improving ourselves. we can make something good from now on. take care of yourselves everyone. i love this community so much! ♡

[@oVerdrive-pt5uk]

ITS PEAK IM AFRAID 🌌🌌

[@pinksharkz521]

this song is genuinely amazing I don't even know what to say. like I can't put it all into words. this was a very cathartic listen for me - i think i needed to hear it. less than 30 secs in I started bawling (and that's a very good thing, I haven't had an emotional release like that whilst listening to music for a good while). I've been in a bit of a dark spot recently and your music has been one of my favourite things to listen to to help me get through it, as i can relate to a lot of the experiences you write about. your music always seems to touch me in such a unique way; I feel like it just connects with me so much on a personal level and I will be eternally grateful I found your music. I love analysing the lyrics and the ways you use the instruments and your vocals and its just all so so good. I've been listening to this on repeat for so long I seriously cannot emphasise enough just how much I needed this. Thank you

[@toxicbavariankitten]

Same for me honestly. I'm pretty much dead inside emotionally and dont really care about anything, not even me (yes I know, I should seek therapy). Thus, I act accordingly. And then there is trixie, absolutely blowing me away with her music as well as the collabs. "My letter to the princess", "the kid who kept running", pretty much every "no matter what" version, "hearts and hooves", "whisper of her soul" as well as "nonexistent meet-cute" are among the songs that fuck me up quite well (but in a good way). And even though trixie might not see this, but I'm honestly so grateful for her and her music (and me discovering her music for myself). I know it might sound weird, but her music is something for me to hold on and to stick around a bit longer. Sorry for the rambling.

[@pinksharkz521]

@@toxicbavariankitten never apologise for the rambling, i feel the same 😊 she has so so many wonderful songs; i have a feeling this one might become one of my favs very quickly

Always impressed with your musicality and ability to convey so much emotion with your work. Such a nice blend between soft and gentle verse lines leading into very intense, almost overwhelming choruses. Your art is always inspiring and always shows the hard work that you put into it.

It's great, but the feelings themselves are horrible. I hated using that stupid laptop and I'm glad to have a really good new one, but it was so sentimental to me. I love this song so much.
