【Music】the yak song (ft. nekosnicker, galaxysquid, & namii)

[@pacifictimepacifies]

For what it's worth, I'm not a brony and I don't think, I know, Vylet is one of the greatest songwriters and pop musicians of our time.

[@pacifictimepacifies]

@@pixluxx I think the brony aesthetic sadly and wrongfully might turn off some people and they judge it before they listen to it.

[@MajoraWaffle]

@@pacifictimepacifies it already does, sadly. :( just look at how many RYM users seethed when cutiemarks reached the top charts on that site.

[@angelicpretty777]

bronies and furries genuinely put out some of the best music imaginable, people are just way too quick to judge because these communities are shown in such a negative light.

[@huskieszn]

Completely agree. The talent you need to not only produce music like this, but record it all yourself is insane.

[@VyletPony]

LYRICS: Concealed behind impressions An ego that you define Stifling an ecstasy Lay cloven prints in time You are who you say you are Each stroke is yours to mark Cascading thoughts, ambitions Chasing down that spark - I’ll never tell their stories I’ll never let them define me - I’ll never sing that song Like my father before me Sink that hook Looking up when it’s storming Stomp it out When I’m tired of everything I don’t wanna see the Spring Are you even listening? Don’t wanna live on a faith Anymore Bury the pastor’s keys Breaking down cathedral doors I’m still the Yak they raised But now I’m the devil that they’ll face - Write them down, these hopes and dreams You’re more than just a sum Abandon all the pages In a never ending story The past does not define you You define it so Ink the chapter in your name Upheld by the page before - Shut the fuck up Until I’m done, speaking Lay it on the line When you’re done reaching Yak song Yak song I’ll sing it My own way Yak song Yak song Tear down every Portrait I’m still bleeding I’m still bleeding Out - They’ve been ignoring Every word I speak Each sentence Torn by fibers They think that I’m a freak When will this nightmare end? I’ll stomp it out ‘till nothing’s left When can I hear my voice? Your tears nourish the riverbed These tears you’ll shed This blood you’ve bled Will save your soul When all is done and said - I’ll never sing that song Like my father before me Sink that hook Looking up when it’s storming Stomp it out When I’m tired of everything I don’t wanna see the Spring Are you even listening? Don’t wanna live on a faith Anymore Bury the pastor’s keys Breaking down cathedral doors I’m still the Yak they raised But now I’m the devil that they’ll face I’ll never sing that song Like my father before me Sink that hook Looking up when it’s storming Stomp it out When I’m tired of everything I don’t wanna see the Spring Are you even listening? Don’t wanna live on a faith Anymore Bury the pastor’s keys Breaking down cathedral doors I’m still the Yak they raised But now I’m the devil Now I’m the devil Now I’m Now i’m the devil that they’ll face

[@throwachair4574]

this song is so good! the only thing that could make it better is if it sampled, like, a british chihuahua or something

[@throwachair4574]

NO FUCKING WAY

[@randomperson748]

Honestly gave a bit of a relation to some of the lyrics I'm a Christian who's officially stopped going to churches as I faced so much religious trauma from them. When the moment I had a chance to speak to someone about my struggles, I immediately was ridiculed and when I try speaking up about the Manipulation, Verbal Abuse, and the Hypocrisy that went on, people never believed me or just told me I was jealous of someone. My voice didn't matter at all when it came to my mental health or calling out the truth of what was going on. They didn't accept me at all from the beginning, I was nothing but a stranger despite growing up within that very church and they made sure I remembered that. Now that I stopped going all together, they suddenly want me back while spreading around how I've been "Lost to the world" and get suspicious of me when I talk to my old church friends, saying I'm trying to lead them astray when I just wanted to hang out with them.

[@squidinthegalaxy]

ay random person. in case nobody has told you lately, you're doing amazing. don't ever give in to people who want to make you feel guilty for living your life how you want. do what makes you happy!

[@Lunarrbase]

bestie that's just a cult at this point

[@ShadowFlash-ke1yn]

I COULD say something here unruly, but I probably won't to spare those too sensitive to their own beliefs.

[@cowboy-crown]

It's really quite a shame, speaking as a real Christian, one who's come to believe that the real 'Christian' way is simply forgiveness and loving your neighbour and God. That's all that's to it lol

[@bunshine]

you don't need them !!

[@NotALotOfColonial_SpaghettiToG]

"Shut the fuck up Until I’m done, speaking Lay it on the line When you’re done reaching" my favorite line in this song, the way it sounds is so good

[@newgate-zerohour]

It's great, but something about how the part a couple of verses after just hits so hard "They've been ignoring every word I speak Each sentence torn by fibres, they think that I'm a freak" The whole thing - the sudden drop from a musical explosion down to a mono el mono with that deep guitar and that _beat_ - that whole part feels so badass and powerful. The song peaks there for me, emotionally and lyrically. Especially considering how it comes after "I'm still bleeding I'm still bleeding out"

[@ChristopherKapoun711]

So amazing to see the Yak's get some love in there!!!

[@MartynDerg]

didn't even recognise this as a vylet song until, of course, the "sing a song about life" sample.

[@tf6513]

Fuckin' phenomenal! Love the distinct sections (especially the middle evoking fishmonger, hell yeah), and your ability to make a single song feel like a progression and story in so short a time while still being catchy, holy shit dude, I'm hella hype for this album

[@tf6513]

And shout to everyone who sang for this, such awesome voices, I wanna hear more songs where people have sections dedicated to multiple singers, so dope

[@rachelvelander5377]

I'm new here. This is legitimately my favorite song of all time now. I have listened to this like a hundred times already. Makes me want to try making music.

[@Fire_Cabbage]

Got in the yak groove! Stomped on my phone in excitement ;~;

[@TOH_Fan]

There’s something amazingly haunting about Vylet’s music. Maybe there’s something in music theory that explains it, maybe not. But, I don’t want to know if there is because, I feel like that’d ruin it for me. I’ve ruined magic like this many a time before.

[@quailron1581]

I think it’s more skill with production/instrumentation than an explicit music theory thing.

[@pansitocosmico8368]

trust me, it's not in the music theory, it's behind who vylet is as a person and how she represents it through art, it is magical and no one can replicate it.

[@Diamond_Brony]

This dropped 2 years ago... Time to move myself I feel motivated now.

[@SCR4TCHK4T]

This is a certified hood classic

[@SunIsLost]

[@chaipivo]

still in love with your unimaginably beautiful voice and ability to make absolute bangers. constantly listen to these masterpieces, walking in the town, crying after a mental breakdown, talking to my s/o, taking a break after doing some school work, they just work with almost any mood or situation. hope you have a great day, Vylet.

[@arthas640]

The artwork and the music never fails to impress. I've actually started calling this kind of art work "Vylet aesthetic" since I see such a consistent art style and I love it.

[@beet9]

THIS IS A BANGER OH MY GOD

[@Satyrsfied]

Can Opener is a good pony and the yak is a good yak - song is amazing and only makes me so SO excited for Fish Whisperer !!

[@GarfieldsTeapot]

YOOOOOO EASILY ONE OF MY NEW FAVORITE SONGS THIS WAS SO WORTH THE WAIT OH MY GOD

[@EnchantedSewerCheeto]

MY PHONE IS LITERALLY ABOUT TO DIE RIGHT NOW SO I'M JUST GONNA LISTEN TO IT AFTER PREMIERE. HAVE FUN EBERYBODY edit: holy crap this is more than incredible, truly a perfect job from everyone that was in it, I'm extremely hyped for this album >:3

[@sunbirth4795]

deleting my last comment so as not to seem spammy, but here are my thoughts. Theres definitely an aesthetic to be had with electronic noise music, but im glad this allowed itself to stable out into something more akin to your usual feel, and the midsong tone change im used to by now from you DEFINITELY hit hard with that guitar riff. As part of the album, im a bit concerned about the ties to CUTIEMARKS, namingly the use of 'sing a song about life'. Thematically, it makes sense; this song and CUTIEMARKS both bore themes of throwing off expectations and being your own person despite what fate may seem to have in store for you, but i hope an album specifically about Can Opener can distance itself to be something more than another hash of CUTIEMARKS. Either way, that would have to be my only complaint; the message is great, delivered in wonderfully poetic lyrics, and the purposeful dissonance between soft noise and powerful rock really makes a memorable listening experience. Great work as always, Vylet.

[@Taperosc]

If this is just a taste of what Fish Whisperer has in store for us, then consider me hyped. Electronic moving into Heavy guitars and drums moving into glitch then fully harmonized at the end. Bloody beautiful job Vylet

[@riptide6392]

WOOOO amazing! dont be afraid to forge your own path yall who cares what they say just BE YOU. lol this song and many of your other songs are such inspirations thank you

Yona is a Yak who want's to be best at EVERYTHING. She doesn't deny her culture, she exemplifies it. to be the best. not by just blood and race, but by attempt. Yona is Best Yak because Yaks are best people.They work for community and nothing else.

[@potatoking800]

Beautiful song.

[@silentdebugger]

Amazing song. The more I listen the more I'm struck by the same refrain played in different tones, like you're remembering it from different phases of life. You're 14, you hate your parents and you just wanna piss them off with a loud song. You sing it cheerfully just to spite them, to show your rebellion. "This is who I am." Then you grow up a bit. You're 19, and you're still playing the same music with the same words. But it doesn't mean the same thing anymore? It makes you feel good, sure, it's comforting and familiar. But what are you even rebelling against at this point? You're free to do your own thing now. So why are you still defining yourself by your rebellion? Still you keep on singing. You grow up a bit more. Everything is disjointed for a while as you're trying to find your place in life. You're 22 now. You acknowledge that the meaning has changed even though the words have stayed the same. But you've found your own meaning now. Maybe you've made peace with your dad. Maybe you're making music for other people, and you're inspiring a new generation of teens that are trying to figure out the same path that you went down. You keep on singing for their sake.
