Hi!
This is The Transient Apple Salesgirl, my favorite tune by Yukke. It's one of the most interesting stories I've heard in a vocaloid piece, along with a kickass instrumental to boot. This tune is a masterpiece, and while it was quite the challenge to record, I feel like the end product was absolutely worth it.
Thanks to Ian for the amazing mix! This is one of his favorite pieces, so he took great pleasure in working with the piece.
Special thanks to David for his awesome lyrics, because this is without a doubt the wordiest thing he's written to date. c:

The Transient Apple Salesgirl
Original: yukkedoluce
Vocals: Will Stetson
Mix: ThatTromboneGuy
Lyrics & Sub: David Toth
In a land far away well beyond our time
There was a kingdom that soared up in the sky
Blessed by the Gods so the land would always thrive, blessed with an immortal life.
Under an apple tree there a girl was born
Doomed to a life that was filled with hate and scorn
Cursed this girl would be shunned forever more
Death would soon knock on her door.
Deep in the woods by a lake shining blue a small house there was baking treats
Everyday making these sweets made of red fruit.
Feeling proud of the pies today I braced for the cold and had made my way
Into town where I’ll do all I can do
Finally, surely you’ll see, they’re all so tasty
The town square was filled to the brim with the noise of the people who came and went
Today is my day, la la lu la lucky!
Standing alone in the corner the girl had reached to the people that passed her by
“I made these myself, please come give them try.”
Sadly none of the pastries would sell
They all glared at the girl with cold eyes that damned to hell
But I’m no different than you all I wanted to do
Was just to share all the fruit
Just like everyday my voice falls short and fails to say
All the things I try to speak it’s like I’m not here at all
Behind every glance is just a painful ignorance
Because I am the girl from the stories destined one day to fall.
Stuck within a rotting world where only one girl would live with the curse of the red fruit
Still that night she baked her pies not ready to let one day mess her up
She walked into town ready to sell
The clock tower chiming away kept on its pace as the girl stood wait
Hungry but happy but suddenly a hand reached out
And pushed the small girl to the ground
And the pies were all scattered around
People stepped on her work without saying a word as they sneered in the face of the girl
Saddened the girl gathered up all that she found
When a boy had broke off from the crowd
And he took a small bite before turning and smiling so bright in the light
“They’re delicious, right?”
“As he spoke to me I felt my heart begin to beat
It was like for all my life I’d waited to see this day.”
And without a word he reached his hand right out to her’s
And such began the tale of the two who were cursed and ignored by fate.
Stuck within a rotting world where only these two would live and would die there side by side.
And all of the villagers pitied both the youth
Who were cursed to live throughout their days burdened by the fruit
They had lost their immortality and one day would die
Ah, what a truly unfortunate tragedy
Yet they both laughed there anyway, yes they both smiled all the same
La la la what a wonderful, truly beautiful, curse for us
Even if tomorrow we fade
We can both smile cause we understand the value of “now”
Just like everyday my voice falls short and fails to say
All the things I try to speak it’s like I’m not here at all
Behind every glance is such a painful ignorance
They can not see the truth of this world
That’s been cursed to no longer fall
Laughing anyway we’re free from that world of eternal pain
Both the kids had smiled so bright it was like they had lost their minds
No matter what night brings the two never stop smiling
Because they both were finally free from the curse of fruited tree.
Stuck within a rotting world where only these two would laugh savoring all the time that’s left.

Will Stetson bro this is so good 😊

[@user-pm1yv6dr3b]

You are beautiful voice.

[@dragonlex4]

If you think about it, the question is "Whos really the one thats cursed?". Also turns out theres a backstory to this, that maker of this song made, about the boy. Turns out his parents ate the Apple and died. But they didn't force it on their kid, and he grew up with his aunt. After a while he just started to question the immortality. And when he saw the girl he decided to let it go.

[@Larry-vh4cq]

I never knew that, I always thought it was about the "Adam & Eve" story.

[@friesguy5467]

Haha, this song is pretty weird when you take it literally. They all shun this girl and treat her like absolute trash. I mean she's basically asking these people to die by eating her pies so of course no one would take it, right? But when you look at it another way, it's more like asking them to get out of their comfort zone and live. In a life of eternity where nothing matters because you'd have all the time in the world, you're bound to get complacent. But nobody cares because it's eternal life. Living long is obviously pretty nice, but it can blind you if it's all you see. But I'm not really an analyst or lyricist. I'm really bad with words and explaining myself but this song is amazing. It's nice to hear what the duo has done. These are some great lyrics coming from David as usual and Will did wonderful singing this song. I love y'all .-.

[@libraryoflilylol199]

Chettar There are two interpretations of this song that I really love a lot that I think you might find interesting: 1. The curse is actually immortality and the children are freed from that curse when they eat the apples. But the rest of the world views the curse as being mortality so they don't want to eat the apples. As a result, they don't value time and by extension life (not their own or others') and the girl suffers because she is aware of this and her suffering ends when someone joins her and she is no longer alone in the world and she has someone who values her and her life and her time and who values their own as well. 2. No one is immortal. The apples do not make anyone mortal. They give people awareness of mortality and because people are unaware of their own mortality they incorrectly believe that the apples will curse them to die. Because they incorrectly believe they are immortal, they do not value their time or lives or others' time or lives. They're cold and distant and suffering. So when the girl offers them the pies she isn't asking people to die, she's asking people to cast off their ignorance so their limited time will have value and they can be happy. She suffers because of the way they treat her because they believe they are immortal and she isn't but she knows that no one is immortal. When the boy eats her pie, he gains the knowledge of his mortality and is able to value others thus easing the pain of the girl because she isn't alone anymore.

[@StupidityInANutshell]

Cursed with an immortal life, and blessed with a way out.

[@joeycohen7533]

@@libraryoflilylol199honestly to me the second makes more sense. Cuz like if not how does the immortality choose these different ages to stop aging ppl. Y r some old and some young looking

[@F7_TeeJ]

1st time watching: Holy shit this sounds amazing! 2nd time watching: Wait, what do the lyrics mean? 5th time watching: YALL IF YOU DON'T APPRECIATE THE VALUE OF NOW, YOU'RE CURSED, NOT THESE CHILDREN. GRAB SOME APPLE PIES IF YOU UNDERSTAND

[@TromboneKing74]

[@kimoraga2171]

holy shit this is good

[@gold4963]

I'm surprised this doesn't have more views. The singing is really quite good, and the audio mixing is done really well. Maybe it's because vocaloid songs aren't as popular. Idk. Regardless, I love this song and your rendition.

[@NAMINE0306]

Your voice makes the song even more sad

[@DotDotDotDashDashDashDotDotDot]

Reminds of the song "the name of the sin" who's story is also about a cursed girl that was saved by a blind boy, also who Dafuq wants immortality its fuckin' boring to live your day without end.

[@CrystalDragen]

Same! I was just thinking that! Even the style is similar, perhaps they had the same illustrators?

[@smilesomemoar]

OMG thank you! you saved me from looking it up, I was just looking thru vids like this cause I remember I watched a bunch of them a few years back and they were all so good and underrated. That is all, hope your day is a great one :))
