Sedai no SCREAM - DEMONDICE x Teddyloid

[@NightFury567]

They always say "where is Dice", but never "how is Dice"😔

[@Crayon_Cannon]

In case y'all didn't notice, Karen left a special message in the description. DDK has come pretty far from nothing to something and y'know she like to be real humble but sometimes she got peeps to rumble with and music is where they tumble. You and Teddy made something real damn cool here and i'm behind it 1000%

[@yakumoyomi5765]

I might have missed that bit in the description if you hadn't pointed it out. Big ups for pointing it out.

[@midnightlumina7]

That's what I like about Karen. She doesn't know it. But her being this transparent about her inner struggles makes her really approachable, and to me, it's very important. The people who are honest with themselves are usually the most relatable.

That line does make me a little worried that she overall isn't happy with her "job".

[@Rar830]

@@scorcher117 Everything she's made since continuing wiht DDK has been pretty unhappy. Fame is a muzzle and I cant fight back. Servant to the bored and anxious and your my blanket. Trigger finger towards the mess I made mentally, I take a shot and put the glass down. Descend into a world where I dont spend every minute behind a screen, some of my favorite lines from Dark Hour. I really like the transition from shooting herself in the head to drinking alcohol within a single sentence, nice word play/imagery. According to DDK so long as she can continue making music like this then she can cope with the pressures of being a "waitress at applebishes" adn thens eh's like you what Im talking about, we all know, its nothing special, no big secret. Also "take the meds", I figured she was on antidepressants, not sure if thats a confirmation though.

[@cellelysium9741]

@@scorcher117 She said on multiple instances that she uses music to vent everything and that we shouldn't worry, since she is all good after getting it all out. Just remember "Bully" and breathe, it's all good. She would say it straight, if she's in trouble here, so no worries needed. Karen is a very straightforward person, just fyi.

[@7ofspades7]

@@scorcher117 I mean she has more freedom to be herself here yes, but people act as if DemonDice is definitively "her" despite the fact this is still an online persona. I don't think her music is as simple as "X is her job and Y is where she's honest about X"

[@ravstar52]

You'd think dice was a storyteller with the way every song has a three act structure. The morphing chorus remains the most Dice thing ever and I wish more artists did it. That MV was astronomical. Might be your finest work yet. And hats off for getting it done so quickly, EchoMotion

[@king0vitrial]

Fun fact: she ran games of World Of Darkness back in college. So that does in fact make her a storyteller.

[@Yamakusa]

"I love making music, and I'll do it until I die. Thanks to Teddy for helping me make one of the most special songs I've ever created." The description hits hard , especially when accompanied by this song's message of staying true to herself. This was amazing DD.

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

Never be ashamed of who you want to be. I'm still in the process of digesting everything that was said, but I think that's triumph because I don't try to analyze rap lyrics...ever. It is getting rough out there, both in the real world and in our personal lives. If someone wrote a book on how to live properly, I think this would all be a lot easier. But, I'll just keeping going forward and see where this is all heading. And always with all the passion I can muster.

Nowadays it’s really rare to see an artist who just consistently improves with every song. I’m glad DDK is one of the people who does. Every song is just better and better and you can hear the hard work behind each one. Vocal improvements, flow, lyrics, etc. Absolutely incredible. Keep it up, your music brings so much joy to me and others.

[@firen0136]

I'm positive she hasn't even hit her prime yet

[@SoapSoapCrayon]

I think I prefer the rougher/simpler style of Alkatraz and Kakigori Galaxy Astronaut but even I can admit how much better the production, vocals and even lyrics are here. And it's really been growing on me in the last week.

[@Rar830]

@@SoapSoapCrayon Those have long been 2 fave albums, but I've come around to really enjoying her new stuff: Especially Dark Hour, Take the Bait and my new favorite: Sedai no Scream I kinda miss the commentary on the music industry and soceity that her older stuff had like Dice of a Generation or Sick Outta Fashion, but I also really like hearing about whats going on in her head and her problems. so even though Wanting, getting, wanting wasnt my favorite (as much, they're all great) I did really like the lyrics. I also kidna miss the style of stuff like Wannabe: the painfully self aware diss track or the whacky whimsicality of Appaseyo and DemonDice was Here or the cool spacejam: Legendary Stray and so many others.

[@ellyJPEG]

Teddyloid KILLS with every production holy crap! Love the Drum & Bass vibe

[@josephmurphy417]

This one of those songs that makes your soul fly. Inspiration oozes from it and warmth crawls from the center of your chest outwards. The impact it has is insane you feel the hardship in every syllable and yet, it's not sappy and it's not a sobstory like other songs about hardship turn into sometimes. What it gives you is perspective, not to make you feel bad but to help you understand where they're coming from, that there's a human behind the screen. People tend to forget that just because they entertain us doesn't mean they exist solely for that purpose. They're not court jesters dancing for us, they're people with powerful emotions that can turn those emotions into powerful words. I'm not gonna sit here and say that she's the fastest rapper, or the most clever with rhymes, but I can say with full confidence she's my favorite musical artist for this reason. Not only does her music hit harder than the realization that your parents were not, in fact, wrestling; She's also able to kinda tap you on the shoulder and say "hey I'm still human I still have feelings" in a way that's not awkward, which becomes more and more rare as time goes on. She's dedicated as hell, and that's something you can't say about many people any more. Not only has she actively proven time and time again, that she knows how to make something actually worth putting into one of those ten hour loop videos; she also knows how to make a point that sticks in your head. That's why she earns my sincerest respect and the respect of plenty other people too. Oh and Teddy is cool too ig

[@NegativeReferral]

I went to her concert the other day not knowing much of her work, and got hooked!!!! This is amazing!

[@Vickyyy-]

Yeah she’s an amazing performer!! She really hooks you in when she performs live!!!

[@richstertrixter]

When I heard this song live, DEMONDICE was soo passionate on performing on the stage, and it became my new fave DDK song. Soo glad I can now listen to this epic track endlessly! I just love how you blend the EN and JP lyrics flawlessly! It's true, we are always ever changing. We can't save everyone and we will always hurt someone. If we try to please everyone, then we would hurt ourselves and lose our identity/purpose. Also screaming is a way of expressing yourself and also helps from pressure/anxiety. At least that's what I got from this song. Our time is truly the "Sedai no Scream". Keep your music and passion alive, DDK!❤‍🔥

[@flywhiteguy2327]

That's so cool though. I had no idea she performed on stage. I will have to see her to a performance live one day. This has quickly become one of my favorite songs.

[@KayrBayr13]

I get close to crying everytime I hit the end of this song. The idea that, after years of saying "I don't want to be myself", starting to finally truthfully state that "I'd rather just be myself" just hits so close to home.

I love how she tries so many different genres, and I'd gotten into electroswing not long beforehand, so it she's been a great match for my own evolving tastes. But when she vents in her music, it particularly resonates. And we ain't even at half-time. 😈 I've got no doubts DDK's ambitions will carry us for years to come. I'll be along for this ride for sure.

[@kasig2013]

Absolutely outstanding work, DDK. Not only was the song incredible, but that MV is sick as hell. I love the complicated emotions of the song, wanting to be a good influence people, but not wanting to be beholden to others' expectations. I also love the struggling of identity between wanting to be a good person, but also being uncertain and unsatisfied with your own identity. But, the fact that the song resolves with a more confident owning of yourself and your identity really felt like a beautiful sense of triumph. These are the kind of stories and emotional journeys that make me really love your music, DDK. Magnificent work here. Definitely some of your finest work.

[@AffyMoon]

I have to say DDK, your content is one of the biggest inspirstions to me in life. Each song just hits so damn hard. And the effort you put into it all is just so respectable. This song specifically just blew me away, it's very different from all your other songs yet you managed to nail it perfectly, hell this song instantly entered my list of "songs that might be my favourite". The harmony of the chorus really hits ya and the visuals supplement that further. I love how the lyrics talk about "internet culture" and how the "competition" of garnering fame and its consequences have made massive issues on both the consumers and the "stars" since even though it's a massively prevelant topic I don't really see much discussion on it in depth

[@soloveq]

Соглашусь с вами это одна из лучших песен Карен.

[@kelleymcclure7531]

Loved this! As someone who also makes music and has found out that creativity might well be a psychological need, this hits so hard. The talk of how we can't be shining and perfect and everything at once despite people telling us we have to be, how the media's searchlights are always on for the next dramatic thing or scary thing that sells, and can and will use any distortion possible to make people turn on someone as long as it's not them, and how despite the world being painful and how it feels like we have to hide, we still live on. Our hearts continue to beat, and the question of who "myself" is and what parts of that we're ready to be. "I don't wanna be anybody else / But that doesn't mean I'd just rather be myself" - This hits hard to me. Maybe it's just how every few days I feel the sense of "maybe it'd be better if I weren't... well.... me", but who? Who would I be if anyone else? I don't know. The accidentally found self is also quite interesting! Seeing someone you know under a different lighting or in a different place can feel completely not what you're used to, or maybe familiar in a surprising way. Maybe it's comforting. Maybe it's just a shock. I don't know what others feel, but we continue to create.

Wherever she’ll go I’ll follow. This one was a dedicated song and I’m astounded by the energy she can put out even though she’s so stuck in schedules and jobs, it’s amazing.
