That nick :think:

I am a VOCALOID junkie. I have seen it all, from entry-level producers to obscure ones, and from heartbreakingly tuned songs to realistic and breathy ones. However, I have never seen a song as fantastic as this one. It has some of the most multidimensional, emotional, and rhetorical lyrics and tuning that I have ever witnessed. You, my friend, are impeccably talented in so many ways. I only subscribe to the best, and here you are on my list.

@Pyrelord Artorias - Hey man, I'd love to reply to your comments, but you have your Google+ settings setup in a way that In cannot reply to them. If you see this, hopefully you can mitigate the problem. Oh, and to answer your question, I've been making a lot more songs with higher BPM's lately. I hope to release those with PV's in the future.

+xCepheid what musical scale is this song on? (E. G. C major, G minor, etc.)

@xCepheid

8 жыл бұрын

+Diva Of the century (Diva-P) G-Minor for the intro, verse, and outro, C-Minor for the pre-chorus, chorus, breakdown, and bridge. I actually originally intended it to be completely C-Minor, but the way I composed it, certain parts sounded like G-minor. If you solo over the song in either key, they both work (for the most part), it's kinda weird lol.

The feeling put into this music really hit me hard. It's like 5:29 and I have school in an hour and a half, and I'm just sitting here anxious and about to snap. I can't do my work I need to graduate and I just feel like ripping out my skin. But listening to this music helps me voice my emotion in a rational way to myself. A coping strategy I guess. I really appreciate the creator of this song. Thanks.

back when I lived with my dad this song perfectly described how i often felt and how I dealt with it. this hit home so true. it's made me rather emotional

I'm kinda tearing up. I actually somewhat relate to this... Whenever my depression hits me hard, I feel like this... This is an amazing song..

I think this song is about self hatred and not even bothering to try to fix yourself because what's the point. I once related heavily to this. Now it's just a sick beat, great song

I LOVE IT

Lyrics~ Wake up feeling like a New day needs me But the clock reads three and I slump back into my bed Motivation feeds the hungry mind So I guess starving tells me something I knew all along Spend the day reflecting my mistakes In the end, it means nothing If I can’t pursue my dreams Fall asleep into a darker place Where my mind shuts off for the day and recolects in peace Lie awake while the colours fade away The truth is, I never changed Black to white is still grey Lie awake while the colours fade Living every day cast in shadow Living in contempt rash and shallow -Colours splash violently- -aberrant, suddenly- -Mask your eyes silently- -from the truth, blissfully- Ignorance born from chained emotions Weakness born from fear of false notions -Colours splash violently- -aberrant, suddenly- -Mask your eyes silently- -colours fading- Lie awake while the colours fade away The truth is, I never changed Black to white is still grey Lie awake while the colours fade Living every day cast in shadow Living in contempt rash and shallow -Colours splash violently- -aberrant, suddenly- -Mask your eyes silently- -from the truth, blissfully- Ignorance born from chained emotions Weakness born from fear of false notions -Colours splash violently- -aberrant, suddenly- -Mask your eyes silently- -colours fading- 【Cepheid】 Colours Fading (feat. GUMI) 【VOCALOID Original】

OMG THIS IS GOOD

This is still so good

I still come back to this masterpiece 7 years later...

This is a beautiful piece of music. I like the way how you portrayed the art and I like the since of dark meanings to music; It just gives it that special effect to me. I really like this song! Keep up the good work! ;3
