Before anything else, super special thanks to Circus for making this song work. I wrote it in a pretty bad headspace, and was completely stuck on where it should go. Producing this song as well as remixing Both Of Us for SYNTECH-, he did a lot of work, and I'm super grateful.
Also huge thanks to Fenori, who did an absolutely marvelous job on the illustration. Thank you for dealing with my moodboard and making sense of it into something tangible and beautiful, I love it so much.
I won't really talk too much about what this song is about. It speaks for itself, a lot of time. Just know that, for me personally, it's a reminder that even in my darkest moments, at least I'm doing my best to be the best I can be.
And ultimately, that's the best thing we can ask ourselves to be.

This song is exactly what I needed right now. Now, I have the courage to get through everything in front of me. Thank you Lupin.

[@annagroelly]

This was my most listened to song in 2021 and has been my favorite song since 2020. I guarantee it’ll be in my top 5 again on Spotify this year. No other song speaks to me the same way, has saved my life so many times, or can be played when I’m sad or happy. It’s a masterpiece.

[@nostraightanswer]

I'm happy to hear it 💖 Writing this song got me through a rough songwriting and production period and I'm forever blessed Circus stepped in to produce it for me.

I love your amazing covers!!! I really think you should cover the song Father by Creep-P! Ever consider doing that one?

[@innen1801]

Will this be on SoundCloud?

[@mebreevee1997]

Weird ask on a four year old cover video of a vocaloid song, but I’m gonna ask here anyway because this song is fire. Im already familiar with music theory and DAW softwares, is using the vocaloid or AI voice programs super different from usual audio edit softwares? Or is it pretty easy to understand and use?

[@nostraightanswer]

For starters this is the original version, though I’m glad to know that people are finding it from the VOCALOID version. Vocal synthesis software such as VOCALOID, Synthesizer V Studio, CeVIO and UTAU, to name a few, function similarly to any software that contains midi input via. piano roll. If you have experience with that sort of thing, the learning curve comes from the lyrical input and phonetic adjustment aspects of those tools, and each one behaves differently from each other, though it does vary. I have a cover of my song “wishing well” featuring SOLARIA, a Synthesizer V voice, up on this channel. That video will show you an example of the type of interface you’ll be working with. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpWweamhdq6Ad7ssi=5CsAqtqsbdGvbtmo There are also AI tools that can generate a new vocal with a new voice by processing on top of an existing recording. I’m unfamiliar with these and cannot speak to the workflow at all.

[@mebreevee1997]

@@nostraightanswer Holy moly I did not expect an answer this quickly but this is super helpful! I am familiar with midi imput so that is nice. I will have to fiddle around with lyric imput! Thank you so much for all the helpful tools and advice! I may not be a music therapy major anymore, but I am at least hoping to make a few songs and post them as a hobby!

[@ok9676]

I love him voice... 😅😅

[@TawnyOwlWings]

You sing better than the vocaloid imho.

[@nostraightanswer]

I mean, I am the voice provider for the VOCALOID. If you didn't like the VOCALOID version as much, it's more reasonable to potentially like mine instead.
