lyrics:
it doesn't matter to me now
sick of dragging this dead horse around
so much weight we don't talk about
it doesn't matter to me now
circle around again
this vicious cycle's infinite
like a dream where my teeth all fall out
on repeat, i keep telling myself
it doesn't matter to me now
house of cards fell apart on the ground
built it up just to knock it down
cuz it doesn't matter to me now
circle around again
this vicious cycle's infinite
like a dream where my teeth all fall out
on repeat i keep telling myself
it doesn't matter to me now
it doesn't matter to me now
it doesn't matter to me now
it doesn't matter to me now

I don't know wether you guys named this song Uzumaki as a tribute to Junji Ito's work or not (I'm a huge fan of him), but really glad that there are younger female artists that are still making rock music with authentic set of skills. I'm in my midst 30s, and always listening to Japanese Rock, but before japanese rock I used to listen to artist like Michelle Branch. So far I love this song. Love the MV too! It reminds me of good old days. Keep up the good works. Greetings from small town in Indonesia!

[@mercedesarn-horn8095]

as always, i gotta say it.... thanks so much for being here

Wow! This feels like one of those early 2000’s banger you first listen to when playing NFS or burnout and it just keeps looping in your head until you just have to know the artist behind it and now you’re a fan!

[@TheVintress]

Finding this band was so great, they captivate the nostalgic feeling and sound of 2000's rock so well!

Yoooooo that chorus pops 100 times more in this version!

Here I thought it was a Naruto reference. So no Naruto noodle arm runs then? 😄 The song was rad to listen to!

[@Eraziels]

@@godlymegatron5698 Uzumaki just means spiral which is kinda funny since Naruto's "family" name is Spiral. But Junji Ito is a legend

Checking in on you. Depression is a beast, dude. And it can take so much strength to just resist it. But that's what friends are for! Feel free to reach out and we'll chat it up in the comments section. I hope you're doing better.

[@2thegamemaster]

I work the night shift at a small shipping facility, it’s only me and a few other guys. We mostly all keep to ourselves which is fine with me because I just listen to my books or playlists most of the night. Someone might think it’s a lonely place but to me it’s a real vibe when I am listening to a whole softcult album while I’m there. Sometimes I’ll stand outside on my break while rocking out to you guys and just breathe the night air and stare up at the sky. It’s quite a feeling. I actually saw you guys when you came to my city, and I’m looking forward to seeing you again. So keep up the great work!!!

[@RavonLF2]

My biggest respect to you for dropping this song again! It's even better that it was before. 💪

[@mariorodriguez9201]

Sorry, was there a previous version of this song? Im reading through the comments and a lot of them say the same thing, could you please give me some context?

[@myrhh2260]

@@mariorodriguez9201 the original version of this song copped a lot of heat because it sounded way too much like Two Way Mirror by Loathe. The similarities were too obvious to ignore. I actually really liked the original, but yea, its was extremely suspicious. so I guess they decided to rearrange it and give it a fresh spin to make it more original. New version sounds great anyway.

Okay. After a few days of binging your music, I had to come back to pay respects. I find it hard in my old age to pick a "new" favorite band. I've already put in the work and grown curmudgeonly.

[@zeketheboi]

Everything about this song is perfect to me: the guitar tone, rythym, timing, chorus, verses, bridge w the guitar solo, depth behind the lyrics with enough ambiguity to allow for the listener to adapt the song to their own emotion and experience, and too many other things to list in a singular youtube comment. My connection and emotional tie to this song hasn’t changed between my first listen and most recent listen. This is music. This is art, thank you for creating this. You inspire me to create art of my own, hopefully capable of drawing out even 10% of what i felt listening to this from those who will engage with it. The true vicious cycle is me listening to this song on repeat for days and weeks at a time.
