- Track 7 from Pale Machine 2
Hold me, I’m a pale machine
Life is just okay out here
Anyone can see i’m lonely
With my pale machine
Eyes will run with tired tears
Living like a dream
Good morning, how’s the weather, dear?
My feelings are so clear
I just wanna be with you
Doing what you do always
Show me how to live
Just a perfect life

While the original Pale Machine had this forced positivity, this one is just really melancholy
they took the corny flakes

The original title track was my favorite and damn, do I have a lot to say about this one. For being so short it makes every second count.
I'm personally a sucker for contrasting moods in music and I think these two albums do it insanely well. The original pale machine as an album was suitably dissonant in cleverly creating an "artificial joy" with undertones of longing and a bittersweet nostalgia. Culminating in the original pale machine, and carried into My time, it displays a deceptively playful rhythm before the drops, allowing an overflow of impulsive emotions flowing in. The initial rush of feelings you can't really process yet. Almost a call of desperation for affection. The original Pale Machine song I think best encapsulated the mood of what the album was going for way back when. Befitting of sharing its name with the album.
Up until this point, though, the sequel album did a good job of creating a progression to a more natural "good future/ending" versions of every song. More high energy and upbeat. The longing is replaced with what is, for the most part newer, better beginnings. The nostalgia feels less painful. It feels like things are actually looking up. Energized. Ready to take on the new day. And you'd expect the new Pale Machine to carry this. To be the climax as it was in the original album. To bring the energy this new album has been carrying to the highest degress.
But it doesn't.
All the energy that was there is gone as if it was never there. Unlike even the original track, there's no pretense. No pretending. Sadness doesn't even really describe it. It's more like exhaustion. The longing has been so lasting and consuming that only despair is left. The affection never came. The call of desperation is now a murmuring husk of resigination. There's no where left to go. The contrast this time is not of a brighter future, but a decline, where the nostalgia no longer has the sweetness to it. The instrumental at the end in particular paints vivid pictures in my mind reflective glimpses of memory. Of joy that was once very real. Now condemned to only be relived in brief intervals that only become foggier with age.
I can't really speak on if this is anywhere close to what is intended, or even if it makes much sense, but it makes me very appreciative all the same. These two songs are such a beautiful mirroring of one another, and I don't think I could ever say enough to do justice to the incredible spectrum of feelings they both give me. I'm just really happy they exist. Thank you for your work as always, bo en.
I'd be pretty sad without my corny flakes, too.
Time traveler: eats a corny flake
The timeline:
This album is like a mirrored version of the original pale machine album and I am LIVING FOR IT
I'd say it's like the B-side version
@@RushWheelerB-side as in bad?
@@accountrandomnumber182 B-side as in the B-side of a cassete tape, used by album companies to play other or alternate songs in an album while saving costs.
@@RushWheeler I learned about B-sides while playing Celeste 😅
i really like how different this is from its original counterpart! it feels much more like a reprise, a slow close to the high voltage energy of all the songs preceding it. but at the same time, it takes the feeling of the first version and sort of spins it on its head; a new direction on the same idea. this album was such a wonderful listen
PALE

THE PALENESS KEEPS GROWING

i’m so glad i’m not the only one who thought that 😭😭
Toby should have worked on this one
Disco Elysium
@@clepsydra4987 it's a W.D. Gaster joke
ok SOMEONE got it
I love this song so much because of how melancholy it sounds. I’ve always thought of Pale Machine in the first album as a transitional song to My time- and this just proves it! It’s such a lovely standalone song but it also transitions so nicely into Our Time when paired together!
Such an epic moment...
Everything up until this point has been relatively upbeat and chaotic, and then suddenly we get this slow, melancholy rendition of Pale Machine's main chorus. The calm before the storm.
Such a powerful moment in the album, everything just stops for a moment before slowly creeping into the absolute insanity that is "Our Time"
Can hear a lot of emotion in your voice here too... really just hits you in all the right places
I love the sneaky Sometimes motif at 0:51
Yooo, I'm glad that I'm not the only one who noticed that.
I did not expect to start actually crying listening to this but here we are
WE ACCEPTING OUR LONELY FATE INSTEAD OF PRETENDING TO BE HAPPY WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥
I love how different it is to the original song. Good job, bo en.
W-where’s the corny flakes….
There are no corny flakes 😔
@@eeveestudios nooooooo
sad days
He ran out :(
There’s no one to eat the cornflakes for 😔
I can't get over how bo en managed to keep the spirit of the previous album but still keep this one fresh.
I was expecting a even hyper version of Pale Machine, but when I heard the beginning I gasped so loudly at how melancholy it sounded- I MEAN IT MAKES SENSE but goodness gracious I was caught so off guard..in a good way of course!!
sitting here on my 18th birthday in a dark room alone, this song playing in the back. I'm not sad, for some reason I find comfort in this.
His corn flakes got soggy 😢
this is CRIMINALLY short
This is like the last part of an Inevitable-like song, or one of the archetypical dark reprises. It's so much unlike the original, but it carries through the unimproving teaser of the first one. The rerecording is just so _SAD!_ It's like listening to Rick Astley sing one of his old songs. Reminds me of The Beginner's Guide. I can't properly put into words how the minimalism plays well for it. Feels like getting trampled on by society for a decade, maybe two. And the AA piano on the back plays at the heartstrings so bad. The intonation is all _wrong and forced!_ It's terribly good. The shambles of the illusion are amazingly portrayed. Great job! I cried!
Still missing her voice, her company, her jokes and her presence... I miss you, ミレーラ. I'm so sorry that I can't be the friend you needed or the one you deserve. I'm sorry that I'm just a idiot that you had to talk with every day. I'm sorry for bother you. I'm so sorry.
bro... you good?
@@weirdguy9659 actually, I'm not sure
@@weirdguy9659 no I'm not, I'm definitely not good.
@@daniellolbo7569I wasn’t either
Everything is really happy and upbeat for the first few songs. "(We Are) Friends" is a little bittersweet, then "I Hate Winter" and this are much more melancholy. "Our Time" gets really distorted and surreal.
In relation to the original Pale Machine album, this album feels like you tried to reinvent yourself and for a while the pain went away, but it continues to haunt you, slowly creeping back into your life until it tears you apart, even stronger than before.
Omori:
@@EinMannMitEi I mean sorta? Omori is definitely a cycle of trying to cover up and repress those bad memories, but not really reinventing yourself. The conflict in the game stems more from avoiding change, remaining stagnant so that you never have to confront the pain.
This album feels sorta like it's embracing change, looking for a fresh start in the hope that things will be different this time.
Pale machine is my favorite track off of Pale Machine lololol. This version is absolutely gorgeous tho ughhhhh
Wow, this was fast. I'll give this album a listen.
This song never fails to make me cry
fun fact: this was made complete last minute because the person who bo was gonna collaborate with for the pale machine remix (most likely kikuo) bailed at the 11th hour so bo en had to go from a really energetic song to a very slow one, and all the vocals were recorded in a single take (excluding the ending)
From where did you learn this?
@@DalekCraft It was from some interview with bo en, this one i believe ruclips.net/video/KRod-VYbJVc/видео.htmlfeature=shared
@@DalekCraft(sorry i thought i already replied) it was from an interview with bo en! ruclips.net/video/KRod-VYbJVc/видео.htmlsi=MVoT2wZ1c4ZDrEc8

BO EN BO EN BO EN BO EN BO EN
:)
Huh...
This one (besides the prelude) is the only song on the album to not be a collab. And it's not really a remix like the others too... It's just a somber reprise, with this really depressing kinda tone. Like, the original Pale Machine feels very fake, almost dream like, meanwhile this one feels way more... realistic? The fact that it's only one instrument and his voice, the piano sounds dusty and old, and his voice sounds tired and unlively unlike the original that was much more upbeat... it just... it makes this little piece feel way more grounded...
Interesting...
This is really good but where are the corny flakes
what not eating corny flakes does to you
Who took away his corny flakes
