Steampianist - Popopo - Feat. Vocaloid Oliver

The first song of our upcoming 3rd album
Used analog synths in this song and a drum machine. it was fun composing and recording this. i used a microbrute, reface cs synth and a volca sampler with a monotron haha
it's about a little alien who aspires to be a dancer but not all is going well for him poor popopo

"His vital body begins to freeze from the near-absolute zero temperature and he becomes trapped in the void of space for eternity. Unable to die even though he wishes for it, PoPoPo eventually stops thinking."

[@talulathegurglemytzfidger5207]

no please don't say that about the bean shhhh

[@dippindopps8769]

Nice jojoke did you buy it from the boss?

[@perrilewis180]

[@shimapancake8462]

Fuck, why did you put that idea in my head? Now I want one.

[@JADUSABLEISMISSING]

This is my bird's favorite song. He sings along and kisses the screen, the song is referred to "His Little Guy" over here lmfao.

[@lizardgirl]

awww, thats really cute

[@redballoon9007]

That’s precious

[@MephistoFowl]

WOW. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN I SAW THE THUMBNAIL AND TITLE BUT THIS IS SOMETHING. it has a really unique vibe that i love. i could almost describe it as reminding me of an old video game or cartoon that doesn't even exist. ANYWAY morb did such fantastic job animating the video! everything looks so colorful and fluid! and i can't get over how good the mixing sounds! every time you release a new song the mixing gets better and better. i am thoroughly impressed.

[@Steampianist]

thanks man :D

Is this a yellow alien?

[@ReimuFumoPicture]

@@fart1707 An alien who aspires to be a dancer owo

[@treeman73272]

Like how you drew Oliver in the crowd watching the alien dance

[@Guichiiii]

Came back to this song after 3 years, this song now cut through the bones and sums up my college life, from doing art commissions that flopped real hard, hoping for new friends and constantly battling existential dread if i was "really that bad" my hopes and dreams are really in teardrops right now.

[@semihkevin500]

lucid dreeeaaaaaaam and i cry.. I watched as far as the end of the clip and it gives peace to the wonderful man ... a lonely character like peace (composure) and freedom, the song is wonderful

[@Steampianist]

i see. interesting

[@braunesgetrank566]

When I saw the thumbnail I thought the music wouldn't be quite my taste, but you surprised me really hard! The song is as amazing as the video and the art style is very special. The chance of this song getting stuck in my head is like 99%

[@graceanderson8731]

braunes Getränk ONLY 99%?

[@faleeria7029]

Same here! I didn't expect to find such a masterpiece when looking at the thumbnail. I am seriously so happy to have clicked on this video.

[@iwantjolynetoORAORAme]

This is actually kinda sad.....

[@Steampianist]

thank you

[@evonannoredars]

i want jolyne to ORA ORA me It's Steampianist, what were you expecting?

[@megmoore8681]

OH MY GOD I LOVE THE SYNTHS ON THIS

[@Steampianist]

yes i love my synths very much

[@Maijorsam]

i love the super bouncy and fluid animations and, popopo is so adorable i love him a lot ;v; amazing song : o

[@clownymoosebean]

This is like entering someone's dream while their in the middle of something amazing going on. This is one of my favorite things ever.

[@bloxor123]

Wow, morb's animations are getting really good. I loved it.

[@kouhai2456]

when you watch morb's older animations compared to this one, you can see how much she's improved c: same with steam! the music is so much more fluid and adaptable, you've both come so far, i love it

[@acupi_]

Another amazing song as always.

[@scarlettmoon867]

You can see Oliver at 1:48♥️ I’m so glad this is finally out, I heard the preview and I knew it was going to be amazing, well done on this steam and morb!

[@penntopaper9305]

holy shit you're right. congrats to oliver for being the only humanoid in this entire video

[@HaruHarune]

I might make a theory for this song I guess So I think this song is about this man named Popopo. He's talented and determined, but he's poor and very lonely. He doesn't have friends or a home and is starving. He travels from City to city with the money he can save so he can try to become a star so he can get friends, a home and food but nothing works and everyone shuns him making him even more lonely.

[@octoroidd]

It's literally said and written in the video that he's a thief

[@eolien_ne]

Octoroid it says he wants to be a dancer ?

[@pajaminator9472]

He might've done one bad thing and now everybody hates him for doing that. It happens a lot in the real world.

[@Hayottt-h9b]

The explanation is in the description lol

[@ketchup9084]

And at the end he probably died from starvation and now he's in the afterlife ;-;

[@athirahauji9235]

Oliver's vocals are soooo good!!!! The lyrics hit hard for me tho since I know what it feels like to be isolated and not cared about. Great job Steampianist!!!

[@fodless717]

Steampianist you're one of my favourite vocaloid producers and what made Oliver my favourite vocaloid! Keep doing what you're doing!!

[@toiboiskullguy9331]

This has such a specific feeling to it, like how else do you describe it other than "lonely groovy space man who can't grasp his dreams" I'm so In love

[@centaureox746]

THIS IS SO CUTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE But sad D:

*U W U*

[@graceanderson8731]

Reminds me of some of the stuff produced by filmbilder- hypnotic animation, strange style, weird concept, typical message, and all wrapped up in nearly indescribable feeling of both familiarity and nuance. Like the rest of your stuff, the vocals were tuned with satisfying clarity, the instrumental manages to have a lot going on at once without feeling like too much, and the music conveys the message and sounds like a complete piece even without the lyrics... I could listen to this song all day and still feel happy listening to it again. And that alien... I feel that Morb should animate little creatures dancing more often! I've noticed that Popopo, the pink elephant thing in Kaleidascope Haze, and all of the stuffed animals in Sleepy Head have all been beautifully animated with almost eerie fluidity that just gives my brain tiny orgasms to look at. I also love Popopo's expressions in this, it really helps him FEEL like an alien instead of just LOOKING like one. All just more reasons why you are my favorite music producer and Morb is one of my favorite animators. Please, never stop doing what you do... BOTH of you...

[@diana5634]

I'm gonna learn PoPoPo's dance. I don't know but your songs have something special that catch me, the lyrics, the sound, the story..idk. Your songs are my favourite Oliver's songs. I love u Steampianist. Keep making good songs

[@DaydreamMila]

Totally underrated song I hope someday POPOPO finds a planet with a lot of friends and crops to eat

[@suelidourado7009]

Meu filho tem 7 anos, autista leve, encontrou esse vídeo e não parou de tocar. A música, melodia, me cativou, me fez ter lembranças de algo que eu não vivi, me causa nostalgia e emoções que nem sei explicar. Parabéns, belo trabalho inspirado pelos Anjos. Popopo amazing.

[@Zarmdthecoolest]

Your son has good taste

[@gervasyo1494]

Essa música tem uma história consideravelmente interessante

[@imaportrait2344]

Meu irmão tbm é autista e apresentei essa música a ele quando era bebê, ele sempre parava de chorar e ficava escutando calminho

[@clefairy184]

My friend showed me this song and I’ve never cared more for a lil guy…he’s constantly rotating in my mind now

[@0Pawprint0]

Oliver's soft voice matches this song very well. It's very good, by the way! Wonderful job, my fellows!

[@jameswillis3042]

That was beautiful, adorable, and kinda heart wrenching. Great song.

[@mweeee]

Beautiful animation

[@carecaballo9658]

I googled popopo just because and I found this! Awesome!

[@Movedchanelssss]

3:28 for some reason the way they say “oh popopo oh popopo” is so cute

[@lexikay2858]

I absolutely love this. It’s beautiful the harmonies are amazing and the backing vocals. Everything about this song is amazing. And the art is super cute.

[@kyleandreiclarabal2368]

The feel...I'm a bit emotional hearing this :') the song is great!!!

[@commonstarling5907]

The animation is phenomenal... I love the mood, really makes you want to float into space

FBI OPEN UP GIVE ME ALL OF YOUR CROPS SO I COULD GIVE IT TO MY MASTER POPOPO

[@nextimegd334]

Letra: Popopo, oh popopo Where have you gone? What have you become? Floating through the black spacey tar Oh. An unwanted superstar! But who cares? Greet a new planet with flair New faces to meet And fresh crops to eat New friends to make with hands to shake And he'll finish it all with a dance! Now for payment He'll take some of your crops A home and a friend So it will be alright in the end! Alas, he is a shooting star! Sinking in the spacey black tar His hopes and dreams in teardrops Lost in a magical place With a warm home, a friend, and freshly cooked crops! Try again A planet must care For his dance With a lot of fans to entrance! Or someone who's there when he's cold and in despair When he cries himself to sleep Now he'll dance before it gets too deep! He won't ask much A home and a friend Food that's hot to touch Please don't turn him away! Alas, he is a shooting star! Sinking in the spacey black tar His hopes and dreams in teardrops Lost in a magical place With a warm home, a friend, and freshly cooked crops! If he closed his eyes Forever floating in space Will his dreams then be real, And dry out exhausted sighs? Oh, Popopo. Oh, Popopo Dancing in his dreams Oh, Popopo. Oh, Popopo Happiness is real Hoping for tomorrow's warm embrace! Alas, he is a shooting star! Sinking in the spacey black tar His hopes and dreams in teardrops Lost in a magical place With a warm home, a friend, and freshly cooked crops! Alas, he is a shooting star! Sinking in the spacey black tar His hopes and dreams in teardrops Lost in a magical place With a warm home, a friend, and freshly cooked crops! Solo lo copie 😭😭

Я мало понимаю, о чем поется, но работа очень офигенная получилась!) Good job:)

[@acidvomit0228]

Dendi Pink ЗДРАВСТВУЙТЕ!

[@N_O_Creativetranslator]

Ого, русский человек. Это песня об инопланетянине, который хотел стать танцором, найти друга, жильё и что-нибудь поесть. Увы, в итоге он оказался отвержен планетой, на которую прилетел.

[@nika-lirionailes4091]

Думаю, что несмотря на стиль повествования и слова песни, у нее куда более глубокий смысл, учитывая общую стилистику работ композитора)

[@N_O_Creativetranslator]

Я знаю) Я донесла то, что буквально. Смысл уже каждый может интерпретировать по-своему (всё ж метафоричные образы). Не считаю нужным своим мнением влиять на интерпретацию другого слушателя/зрителя :3 Текст донесён, а дальше разгадывай сам)

[@nika-lirionailes4091]

we've been blessed with a new Steampianist's song y'all A true masterpiece as always, favourite from the first notes. Composing is truly great, the artstyle is gorgeous as well Nice job guys ~

[@graceanderson8731]

Does anyone else just listen to Steampianist nearly every day? I've been doing that for almost two years now. I think that I'll be doing it for the rest of my life!

[@mayurose]

I'm just here- *Wanting a plushie of this adorable alien bean* ❤ Alien bean is great, he deserves love 💖

[@faleeria7029]

I don't even know what to say. I am surprised that I just discovered this song even though it has been here for such a long time! I absolutely love Steampianist's songs, they all have this amazing yet sinister atmosphere to them. This song made me so emotional what really barely happens at all. I am overwhelmed. This is such a masterpiece. It might even become one of my new favourite songs of all time. Since I love this so much, I translated it in German (aka. I wrote the captions) and just handed everything in. I hope they'll be accepted, because I want to give something back to Steampianist for giving us the chance to listen to such gorgeous music. Thank you.

This is like Secrets of Wysteria, a bit uncomfortable but cool to listen to

I love everything about this song!! The singing is amazing and the video is too! But it’s so sad 😭

Out of all notification from youtube, I clicked steampianist video first and I am not regretting

[@caalat6547]

Just the smoothet anymation that i've seen.

[@puppycat9064]

This song is really good, i really love this animation and the atmosphere is really satisfying to feel. I really love everything all about this song.

[@milkbuns2543]

"Try again, a planet must care" Welp, I'm ya' planet. But great song! It's really sad, but also really interesting. I have so many ideas about who or what Popopo could represent or be, and it's rare that a song can do that for me! Oliver's vocals are as sweet and smooth as honey coated silk, and go SO SO SO well with the background music. As for the animation, it's so fluid and fits the song REALLY well! ( Good job Morb! ) I like the way you managed to make the colors bright, almost neon, but not eye-bleeding or painful to look at. And Popopo being the cute little bean he is, really gives him more character ( at least in my eyes ) than a super-complex-super-detailed-awesome-insert-character-troup-here-type of design. Overall, great job, both of you, and keep it up! [^w^]

[@littleclover1440]

Keep up the awesome work Steampianist and Morb!

[@umigoh3884]

This is the first new Oliver song I've heard in a while, and I'm amazed! The voice sounds great and the concept of the video is fantastic! Maybe I'm biased towards concepts like these but in all honesty, Steampianist never fails to deliver amazing work!

[@CandylandAngel]

I thought this was gonna turn all dark, a little sad but I loved it!!! The animation is cute and the colors are really fun!!! Popopo

[@kitsudanagisa]

Oh a great idea for Olivers voice, your music mixing and morbs animation skills, something that has to do with aliens in it. Extraterrestrial stuff, a cute little lost alien that ended up on Earth, and that has no way of getting back home, but makes human friends along the way. One of the friends could be Oliver, and any other human morb animates in c: d-don't you think that's a good idea? ó~ò; heh, y-you don't have to, I just thought of it to be unique to your music and morbs animating ^~^

[@mothercocoanuts3469]

Calm Kitsu the singing tumor is... similar...

[@0puffbuck]

I LOVE IT! I will try to describe what I think. Imagine a boring bowl of potatoes. Kinda empty by itself. Then imagine a 10 L pot with potatoes and a few simple ingredients that goes super well together. Instead of being plain, it's just a delicious happiness that makes you feel full in your heart. This song tickles a lot, without exaggerating. Not too simple either, and TASTY. The video is great too! Keep up the good work! You're one of my favie producers and noticing new stuff makes me push everything else away while I'm listening.

[@riinusdarling6538]
