We've all had those deep thinking moments in the shower where we finally imagined solving a scenario. This song wasn't necessarily about solving arguments. It was moreso about taking the time to confront and face an issue once you finally give room to think about it. But I can't exactly fit that all in the title (: Either way, I hope you enjoy!

This be me coming up with a whole ace attorney level argument while I’m in the shower

[@GamepadStudios]

Same, ouch

[@kethenji]

Agreed

[@RandomDude1487]

S a m e

[@quilldev6280]

Same😊

[@Prongdale_Bingle]

Shady can take something as weird and mundane as overcooking a pizza and turn it into a tear-jerking toe-curling symphony

[@gollossalkitty]

Toe-what the fuck that's such a bad way to enjoy good music that's like literal "audiophile" in the paraphilia waywhattheheck man

[@gollossalkitty]

Nevermind sorry it is kinda hot when the bars hit the dude and a circle appears and you hear a sound and repeat and combine that a ton yeah i wonk judge again /silly

[@Prongdale_Bingle]

@@gollossalkitty I'm sorry, huh?

[@Blargel]

I feel like if you took the melody in the chorus, slowed it down, reharmonized it, and gave it a melancholy feeling, it would make a great "reflecting on the past" kind of theme that calls back to this song. I always think it's cool when games do that sorta thing.

[@Bean-fi3wl]

Thinking back to when the stakes were high and things were tough but now at peace.

[@Ex0rknight]

I am officially making this my theme song whenever I win an arguement

[@idiosyncraticerror]

the amount of sheer "YOU'VE ACTIVATED MY TRAP CARD" feeling in this is so exquisite

[@Aurakid]

It's funny to think that someone might go up to another person and go, "What's your favorite Shady Cicada song?" and the person just says, "No U." Love this song, it might be a new favorite of mine!

[@voltsiano116]

This sounds like the song that plays when you think of a comeback on the SPOT

[@Draken0023]

I have to admit that I haven’t really been watching your videos since the “how to” series kind of fell off, but now I need to go catch up on everything. Great job!

[@honeycloves-]

SHADY!!!! Coming in w/ the banger that's gonna motivate me to have good grades for the next month 💪💪💪 finna feel like an epic boss battle when I'm slaying my homework this one is so energetic and exciting and I LOVE IT

[@mirrormage4070]

Why does the melody remind me of garudo valley ? Also this shits awesome shady you never cease to surprise me

[@lunarartist3817]

i thought i was the only one 😅 (it's because the first little da da da-da-da-daaa has the same melodic line as the one in garudo valley)

[@KonngaraFan]

0:12 Hello John.

[@uesrname12]

wow! such a tightly packed for a prompt like this HAHA we love to hear it! I really like the arpeggios in the beginning, especially that bass like AAAAAA mmmmm i love love love it. especially during the prechorus, those drum fills in between the empty space of those choppy chords ALSO THE DRUM CHANGE IN THE CHORUS REAAALLY GIVE IT SUCH A COMEBACK (the comeback reference? /j) mood like wOAOA anyways, just yet another banger, and I can't wait to see the one in the works! reel 'em in with that harmony, shady

[@corrinflakes9659]

When the long-running RPG series focuses on details lf a 15+ year old game you thought was irrelevant in a way beyond throwaway easter eggs.

[@keegankuhns1422]

Dabbling in composition myself, I can't help but feel a little jealous. This sounds amazing! (as well as the other songs too)

[@poespetraven]

I JUST FOUND THIS CHANNEL AND EVERYTHING SOUNDS AMAZING WHAT THE HECK?!? I WAS EXPECTING SHEET POSTS BUT NO, THESE ARE ACTUAL BANGERS??????? LIKE WHAT?!?!?!?!??!?!

[@thebrustkid7080]

It sounded like this man was about to pull out the gerudo valley

[@yokuutsu9097]

MOM WAKE UP NEW SHADY CICADA UPLOAD

[@River-0G]

another awesome banger from a very awesome dude looking forward to the next tune, I know it'll VIBE

[@bhetless6804]

bro why did my spotify weekly discover give me this guy he needs way more than 1-2 million on his best songs tbh

[@Whysp]

Usually you go out with a bang, not return with one

[@SnowieTheMoth3]

Wonder if he'll do one where a game tutorial goes extremely hard and hits us in the feels all for a noob level at the beginning of a game.

[@Rey_Pixels]

*NEW SHADY VID POG REAL NOT FAKE!!!!* Fr though, with every video, I’m reminded of why Shady’s music has been such an inspiration for me as a relatively new video game music composer myself. :p Please actually get some sleep one day Shady, you push yourself *WAY* too hard.

[@hyperpotato47]

0:36 argument starts 0:49 other person makes the most powerful argument you’ve ever seen 1:12 comeback begins to form 1:42 you’ve struck gold 2:10 _send_ 2:12 *other person is typing* 2:24 they stop typing 2:42 you’ve won the argument they respond with “who asked” cycle repeats

[@shinespark1007]

Knocked it out of the park again!

[@oplxyer6806]

this is truly me in 2017, as little timmy and i were having an arguement. little timmy moved, but i still had his email. five years later, i am an adult with kids and i finally have the inspiration to tell johny; ‘no u’

[@grassguyonyt]

This dudes music is the best

[@sparbit2845]

HELL YES!!!

[@penguin_king2759]

That is one of my new favorites

[@k33lix]

what a banger omg ,,, one of my faves from you:)

[@theray4002]

this makes me happy on a primal level

[@Solar_Symphony]

YO POGGERS more of the sonar ping, hits so hard

[@airthefallen]

Man it's surreal seeing Armored Core pop up in videos from people I follow lol Keep up the good work, and good luck with Balteus!

[@GamepadStudios]

I bet you can make music out of anything, like laughing when it's definitely not the time and it just gets awkward

[@charlx8979]

This goes WAY harder than it has any right to This is peak DS era rpg boss music vibes, like is someone stuffed PMD explorers of sky with some more guitars

[@umarikhwanmohdrusllim2442]

The First Part Reminds me of That Song From Ocarina Of Time

[@GhostlyChaos_]

I can picture someone being in an argument wanting to say "no u", then play this so when it is over they can finally say "no u"

[@justagamer1160]

Legend

[@murtadhaamin3654]

this is fire!

[@aballisticninja29]

No u? More like yes please! Liked the teaser at the end, excited for next weeks song!

[@TyphoonBeam]

Time to send this song to anyone who's ever argued with me

[@lumpenada977]

Shady Cicada comes back the same time I start my undergrad in composition. a sign.

[@kayleighisawkwardd6491]

Listening to this just gave me a flashback I didn’t have that was super epic This is awesome!

[@bsharpmajorscale]

We makin' it out of the celestial realm with this! 😂

[@Oceane1803]

Best song name

He finally played a final note!!

[@40susman]

that moment when someone calls you stupid but then says 9+10 is 21:

[@FallenHaloesRings]

Absolutely worth the 5 year wait

[@onyxyt8543]

I think I heard the Mitsuda Lick but I can't tell. W vid Shady!!

[@kdevelopergw]

[@neinnine]

Dem those are some strong 90s anime vibes

[@djjazzy-tastic5077]

THE BOI IS BACK! .o. Why does this sound like a Dokkan song lol

[@obiomajronyekwere4469]

Damn this is fire🔥🔥🔥

[@WhitEagle7]

no u indeed

[@Cidriel]

okay but this is just a boss battle theme straight out of Ys which is high praise from me

[@dipskiff]

HELL YEAH

[@giaxo1739]

John got fucking wrecked.

[@perdly420]

yo dude! i've been following you for a while and im curious; what DAW are you using to make music? I know this doesn't dictate someone's musical skill whatsoever, I'm just curious. If anyone else knows, and Shady doesn't see this, please let me know! Thanks :)

[@tunayop]

Cool❤

[@pokeplazagamer]

🤯

[@marirey4609]

No U!

[@HypeLozerInc]

Add a "la" to "John" and you'd be almost correct

[@STAR-es4zr]

how do you do the thing where the notes move during the song? pls shady cicada, i wana make dat groovin beat.

[@chJohnJobs]

You dare challange me to make Music, Then so be it. I will show you what it truly means to make music

[@vivitheworld6059]

i can definitely hear the touhou inspiration in this one!

This feels like Toby Fox song! Unless im.just.too hyperfixated on Undertale/Deltarune that i impose it on other things -

[@DS_MOD]

i love music :D

[@scratchguy7817]

What Superior Drummer preset do you use (unless you use custom settings)?

[@abismuththedev]

What do you make your music in @Shady Cicada ?

[@KonngaraFan]

Telling by the appearance of the GUI, its definitely Cubase.

[@Shadycicada]

Armored Core 6! It's REALLY good 😄

[@Oceane1803]

If I ever have a song like that in one of my contents, I'll follow the meme route like you did with "NO U" and call it something like *But have you considered this : Ur mom*
