AUDIT (The Walten Files song) - weevildoing ft. Tsurumaki Maki/弦巻マキ

[@WeevilDoing]

making a new pinned comment for this video! i honestly don’t like this song very much and it isn’t representative of my current work. i made it because TWF is loosely inspired by FNAF, and since FNAF has so many fan songs, i thought it would be funny to make a fan song for TWF, since one didn’t exist yet, at least not to my knowledge at the time i released it. (i could be wrong!) it was also still one of my first full-length songs. even when i first posted it, i wasn’t super happy with it, but it got a lot of attention and the revenue from it has honestly been helping me survive through college as a disabled person who physically can’t leave my dorm much. i make better music now and i don’t believe this song is exemplary of what i currently produce, but i’m keeping it up just for the AdSense money. i know that probably sounds uncaring, but please understand that it kind of sucks having a song i don’t really like being my most popular one, and being “the AUDIT person”, instead of being recognized for the deeply personal projects i spend a lot of time on. if you would like to toss any money my way so i can keep producing vocal synth music and buying food for myself, i have a Patreon and a Ko-fi. thanks for reading. ko-fi.com/weevildoing www.patreon.com/WeevilDoing

[@Pink_Pouf]

As someone who is fan of both your current music and TWF (this song being a huge catalyst for the latter), I really appreciate that you're keeping this song up despite your distaste for it. It's made a really big impact on so many people and, as silly as it may sound, this song has helped me make sense of a lot of my own turmoil. Despite it being outdated when compared to your current work, it still holds the same elements of suffering and awareness of how being in specific kinds of pain feels (The Post-Traumatic Manifesto has me CRUSHED like a little bug *every song is so good*). It also has the commonality of uniting people who know how these feelings are: your songs tend to feel raw and real and kind of cut straight into my soul when I listen to them, and AUDIT is not much of an exception for me. (and this is not to mention your musical talent, your backing music has always been SO AWESOME!!! Though it really really shines in your current work it also exists here and oooooh I get a high listenign to it sometimes its so fun (thank you for uploading instrumentals!!!)) Of course, this is your work; there is no shame whatsoever in taking it down if you ever want to (especially because it feels like it misrepresents your work as a whole). But for now, thank you for keeping it up, and I can't WAIT to meet the rest of the PTM girls!! :)

[@cloudywhxliensxx5806]

this is quite a late comment lol but i was rewatching the walten files and i just kept on thinking about how painful the way their friendship faded away. felix’s regret for what he did and how much he feels for jack is soul crushing and it’s just such a scary and painful masterpiece !

[@Mr_marica]

Especially when they were working together as co-owners. I think after the crash, Felix kept his addiction (not sure tho). It does probably feel painful to watch your friend slip away into alcohol.

[@macaquesnumberonefan]

looking at this now, it hurts so much worse that jack never knew about felix's addiction.

[@breffnilynch1875]

It would be pretty interesting if this happened after jack died, because in episode 4, bon or jack would give life to the victims of bon’s burgers. Imagine if Felix just went to wonderland and was like “ohhh uh hey jack, nice haircut. Oh! You just saw Ed and Molly? Nojack jack please!at least turn me into the clown thing!”*possesses a sock*

My favorite part is when he’s driving with the kids and he says “I’m really sorry Jack, I-“ and it cuts off to the part where the car crashed cause it’s like the breaking point and the beginning to all the awful events that happen next. It’s also just sad to see how their friendship ended in such a awful way.

i just noticed, everything he lost was grayscaled, think about it, he lost jack after killing his children and ghosting him, then he lost his wife after she had enough. he lost molly and edd in the car wreck, and when he's talking to linda about how he's not the real him, his tone is more gray, because he was losing himself. but the colors also got more vibrant/intense, the more intense the situation

[@tessaissupercool007]

that's really cool, also at 2:03 he turns grayscale too so maybe that's a way of showing he's "losing himself" to alcoholism

[@bluespirit671]

i really like how this shows more of what’s actually going on in the walten files - rather than just people acting like felix’s actions were totally okay or isnt as bad. it shows that felix isnt some evil and villainous guy, hes just a guy who ruined his own life and ends up ruining his friends lives by killing their kids in a car accident. also, this song? mwa, chefs kiss

[@xxkittyxx2599]

It really shows how an addiction can ruin your life and those around you's lives. You're right, Felix isn't a evil person by any means, a bit narcissistic but that isn't evil, but he also isn't a good person either. He let alcohol run his life into the cement and he knows this. The guy has a lot of regret and guilt but has no idea how to deal with it and is too scared to own up to it. I'm glad people see him as a tragedy about addiction and not just some villain who's "misunderstood."

[@bluespirit671]

@@xxkittyxx2599 oh no, i wasnt trying to say hes good. i meant to say that felix isnt somebody people should be forgiving or something like that. i cant fully explain what im thinking lolol

[@nickythehickey]

Not a lot of people are able to comprehend the difference between understanding and acknowledging that felix isn’t necessarily a bad person and excusing or forgiving what he did. Good people are capable of making mistakes, but his “mistake” was the result of a long series of bad choices and he is still at fault. A good portion of the fandom though seems to have adopted the mindset that it’s either “he’s a literal monster” or “but he didn’t mean it so it’s okay”

[@petietheamazing7234]

I love the Walten Files because of things like this. Felix was an asshole who cared about people around him, but in the end he killed the red kids. Jack couldn’t tell that Felix wasn’t in a good state of mind to pick up his kids, even if he didn’t get drunk and kill the kids Jack was still asking Felix for a lot just after his wife left. The red kids went on a killing spree after they were burred.

Fun fact: if you listen closely at 1:18, you can briefly hear the song “What the hell is wrong with you?” from The Walten Files OST, which played during when Jack called Felix demanding to know what happened to his children and has been trying to call him for past 3 hours.

Fun Fact: “What the hell is wrong with you?” is the part of “Everything is through, Dear” at 1:13, repeated over and over again. “Everything is through, Dear” is the song “Masquerade” by Jack Hylton. (Jack Hylton is also named Jack, similar to Jack Walten, though that could also just be a coincidence.)

This song perfectly describes what it’s like having an addiction. My mom was a struggling alcoholic for 5 years and she said it was a hard struggle and she wanted to stop but she couldn’t because her body physically needed it everyday and if she didn’t have it she’d be in excruciating pain. It’s a horrible cycle but now she’s doing 90 days in rehab and getting her life together.. this song is a good one to show people how hard addiction is and to not be horrible to people if they fail trying to stay clean.

this song is absolutely insane. the lyric composition and instrumentation were already great, but the distortion effects (especially at 0:57, i have no idea how to ever do this and i am beyond impressed) added onto how good it already was. from the very beginning, i was hooked! i enjoy the usage of the piano quickly switching between chords. most importantly, the pacing of the song is phenomenal. i don't mean the bpm, but the rate of which ideas are presented. the switches between character interactions/events and breakdowns (verses to chorus) are also one of my favorite thing. there's so many things i enjoy about this song honestly ^^; i am so glad you had fun making it, because i'm sure i had such as fun listening to it

[@starkar91]

I love how the song transitions from this happy, up-beat theme with these happy lyrics, then quickly switches up at 0:57, then it plays out the same as in the beginning but darker, with Felix realising he's doing awful, being self-aware. Then the tone is completely switched upside-down, with him swearing in the lyrics, still convincing himself that everything's going to be alright and that he's going to make it. Then the car crash happens. He's not convincing himself anymore, he knows he fucked up, he knows he is awful and stupid and doesn't know what he is going to do now that it's too late. All of this because he couldn't resist. He couldn't make his mind up, and it ended up with him ruining his and others lifes. This one 3-minute song explains the walten files better than some theories. Great job.

I love how there’s such a change in tone between when he’s trying to convince his wife to trust him, and him arguing with Jack.

[@Cal_The_Stainless]

I feel like the argument with Jack happened right after the argument with Linda (I think that's her name). He probably felt like he'd already lost, so what was the point of even trying to seek help anymore

[@hurricanemeem]

oh my... i know nothing about the walten files but this song is absolutely amazing!! the perfectly clear storytelling, the emotion, the LYRICS..... it's also so wonderful. the lyrics portray his struggle/downfall in such a powerful way, it creates a perfect balance of empathizing with his struggles and realizing his poor actions (mainly through his words towards others, showing how he's started to act abusively despite his best intentions). and the line "the iron taste in my mouth mixes with the merlot"? that hit me like a ton of bricks. overall, well done!!! i'm really excited to see what other works you have in store.

This song is such α good representation of Felix’s mental state. I know an Alcoholic and these experiences are very similar to what she’s related to me. Unlike Felix here, though, she escaped the trap and has been sober for decades. You can always make it out!

I LOVE how the art style starts off super clean and neatly colored etc., then visibly gets messier, rougher, and more detailed in the wrinkles and whatever as the problem gets worse and worse.

[@sunnysidedownwards]

I found this song like 3 days ago and I've probably listened to it 57 times, the lyrics and word choice, the music, the glitch/static affects, the pacing of the song is all amazing and fits the atmosphere of the walten files perfectly I swear this song needs more hype around it

i can't really watch a lot of horror media because it tends to set off delusions (genetic mental illnesses moment), so i've always observed the walten files from an outside perspective. but even if i don't know much about the source material, i appreciate a lot about this song and video, like how at 0:58 you see a glimpse of the drawing shown later at 2:31 this song in general also does a really good job at expressing an internal monologue in a believable way. i don't know, i'm just a spectator

[@chipklip2]

hey dude, good luck if you ever want to really watch the walten files. it's great, but if you can't handle it it's okay :)

[@Eggs_Benedict27]

This song is somehow such a relaistic depiction of struggling with an alchohol addiction, I remember how my mom used to speak while drunk, it was just like this, especially the "But I swear I'll get better, this isn't who I am"

[@martyrobbins3543]

One of the things I like about the WF is that the main conflict of the series doesn't stem from ghosts, or monsters, or whatever, but an all too human problem.

[@intruderheadroom]

Remember my children, not everyone who complains about their situation wants to get better, but you should always assume that they do, good assumption go a long way. Don't abandon someone just because they seem hopeless and depressed, sometimes hope just hasn't found them yet, and you could be that hope. 🖤

[@lycheeenby9473]

All your music has such a great vibe of like... an unlabeled cassette/cd that you find in a weird store? Especially the static bits, but it's so unique and hard to find, it feels like pure serendipity you got to hear it at all? And it sounds just a bit worn, but that's part of the charm. Idk its all really good, and the lyrics are so pleasant sounding despite being so unhappy

[@canaryisles]

I'm not a huge Walten files fan but this is fucking amazing, I've had it on loop for an hour. The happy parts are so delightful and the sadder parts are fucking soul crushing, I think it's the contrast between them that makes the song so addicting.

[@NobodyInParticular45]

The best part about this song is that you don't actually *need* to be a Walten Files fan to get it. Sure, knowing the story adds a lot of context, but even as a standalone song about an alcoholic spiraling deeper into addiction, wrecking his marriage because of it, and then killing his friend's kids via drunk driving it works.

Top notch lyricism - it really conveys the *shadow* and declining confliction within Felix as it submerges him into a luring temptation of addiction and into a trance of denial and lack of self-awareness that can be oh so destructive. The instrumental intertwines with this as it spirals into dissonance, really capturing the guilt, despair, and dismay that enfolds Felix and as he comes face to face with an ultimate failure that costed the lives of two innocent children that once called him Uncle and the respect of his closest friend. Now he lives with a guilt that feeds off of him from the inside out and a memory that shall haunt him forever.

[@Katriella.]

I love how the style of the video is also very reminiscent of older and/or the creepy vocaloid/utau/vocalsynth era The frame, the simple but fitting art, the slightly off white & dirtied BG in the framed parts One example that comes to mind is SeeU's I=Nightmare, at least for the MV style Absolutely love it
