EDIT: BOY I REALLY SHOULDA POSTED THIS COMMENT AFTER LISTENING TO THE ENTIRE SONG CUZ UHHHH
LMAO
Damn bro if u didn't post that edit I would have asked
"Buddy, who hurt u that badly for you to comment that?"
😂😂😂
Welp talk about jumping the shark too soon.
mistakes were made
oops
“They were trees all along” is my new favourite twist in a story
Maybe the real trees were the friends we made along the way
Alright, here is my unpacking of the lore of this song.
In the beginning we get shots of the road and abandoned city, no signs of recent habitation are visible other than our two main characters, we get the line “wake up, sleepyhead” this will be important later. Not much happens in the first minute and a half, but we do see an hourglass which will also be important later. We also get a lot more shots of the car driving on the empty road re-enforcing the idea of isolation. At 2:05, we get the information that the blonde haired character slept until 1 o’clock, this means that the character has been asleep more and more, as if conserving energy for something.
At 2:20 we get ready for a lyric that seems normal at first but that points to the idea that our blonde haired character isn’t the only victim of whatever affliction they have with the words “suddenly I feel the trees stare right back at me” after that we are told that the blonde haired character “slept even more than before” which shows that the condition is worsening. We also get some spooky distorted audio at 2:43 which will reappear soon. At 3:05 we get the visual of the hourglass visual again, now with all the sand at the bottom and a small tree limb poking out from the sand. At 3:35 we get the knowledge that our blonde haired pal had become twisted and deformed, and we get the same distorted audio in the background. We also get some shots of both characters in a twisted state, in order to contrast the similar shots of both in a Norman fully-human state. We get the visual of the hourglass once more, the tree limbs stretching all over the bottom half of the hourglass, and a white flower attached to the tree limbs, before a red flower appears. We also get a neat corrupted image of both protagonists hugging, but one of them being a mangled tree being.
We are now in the sad part. Our brown haired character talks about having no reason to keep living at 4:55 and talks about how they couldn’t bring themself to burn their friend to end their tree induced suffering. Then, their mangled tree friend try’s to comfort them, and our brown haired character hugged the tree person’s branch, mentioning it as being warm, potentially implying the existence of flesh beneath the bark. At 5:48, we get an image of the tree person’s branch piercing through our black haired protagonist body, and at 6:05, you can really see the guilt in our tree protagonist’s face, with black tears streaking from their eyes. Our black haired protagonist is fine with this, even happy about it as long as it helps their friend. We get the visual of the hourglass again, the tree branches now breaking out of it. We get a little more distorted audio but that’s it
As a side note, the branches of the tree friend have orange leaves, similarly to all of the other trees, implying that they were all once people. That’s just my analysis of the 6.5+ minute song, thanks for reading this absolute unit of a post.
Wow 😮
To build on this, while it may not be confirmed by the song, I have a theory on how we get to the starting place in the story.
now the backbone of this is built on the following quote "Mutations and death will not deter my love for you" and the fact that at the end we can see all of the long vine tree things in the city, not just her slowly growing but all of them. and the fact that the camp we see at the start and repeated throughout has initially no vines but as it progresses, they begin to creep in.
this leads me to believe that prior to the start of the story, there was some kind of biological weapon released likely one designed as a herbicide, however, it has unintended consequences. a fast-mutating pathogen piggybacked off the herbicide and quickly mutated to infect humans turning us into plants, my additional evidence likely spread on fresh fruit produce which is how society collapsed so fast, based on the age of the boy less than 10 years (i would say society collapsed maybe 1 year ago maximum however I have no real evidence for this so let's just call it ten years ago.) at the start of the outbreak the two characters found each other after watching their family perish, together and fled the city to the outskirts (likely to a farm that was anti gmo and all that nonsense) that gave them relative safety for a while but eventually she ate something she should not have eaten, and you know the rest from here.
@@elenorebradson4338 it’s an interesting concept, personally my bet would be on the cause being some sort of Crispr type virus engineered to edit plant dna for things like drought resistance or better crop trials, but that it mutated to infect human hosts, and slowly changes them from the inside; I think that would also explain the whole drowsy-ness thing because energy would need to be conserved for such a large change. I defiantly think it’s human caused because a lot of other steampianist songs have horrible things happening because of people and their direct actions.
@@elenorebradson4338 it could be from eating the mushrooms from the trees.
@@SLYKM that would make.
You've heard of "Would you still love me if I were a worm" now get ready for "Would you still love me if I were a tree"
Would you sacrifice yourself to me if I were a tree mutant (with hair)
@@iamme8359the hair is the real tipping point, makes you really consider it
literally the first thing i thought of
Basically greek mythology
@@dawkosussybaka8190 nah, greek mythology is like “i love you, lets be a tree”
my favorite piece of lyrics has to be the **eldritch noises**
was not expecting that twist at all. I thought this would be another happy song like the walking one 😭
I'm actually obsessed with this. I can't stop analyzing little details with my friend. This was so so well done. What a perfect little horror
Personal Interpretation of the Infection that afflicts one of the characters;
So, taking a sort of guesstimate on the infection with the longer haired character(calling them Her), It took 20 days for Her symptoms of sleeping to be longer, maybe needing about 12-18 of sleep from the infection, her faculties shutting down through that withered voice part.
And 30 days in, the symptoms of the infection go critical, Her body is shaking, maybe convulsing cause of the transformation.
Her tongue falling cause we see Her have no mouth in the one shot of us seeing Her face after transformation, Her wood body growing over the mouth.
The eyeballs are swollen maybe cause of the same thing with the infection peeling off and/or parts of her eyes, causing the inhuman colors in her eye(s).
Skin peeling off and hardening, the three layers of skin probably falling off, and the flesh and bones hardening to a wood like body, which seems to be flammable, with the lyrics saying they should've burned them.
The body stretches to inhuman proportions, which could be why the person afflicted would need more sleep, Cause they need to preserve as much energy as possible to grow to that size quickly, also mimicking photosynthesis (This is assuming that She was turning right as our other character comes home, and a few minutes or hours pass before the branch part).
For that one moment where the scabs are in the lyrics, could it be the body's immune system trying to stop the infection from peeling off the skin and scabbing over the peeled parts? Or would it be part of the transformation? Turing scabs into that human-like wood we've seen.
TLDR: The moment you get infected, you have around ~30 days before you turn into a tree and/or tree monster, and there is no way to save yourself, cause ELDRITCH INFECTION. (maybe.)
i shouldn't have let my guard down
> Lyrics by momocashew
👀 This will be interesting
I guessed correctly... the way it transitions is just... shocking
So this is the world post "unrequited love and he Who sleeps beneath"
OMORI vibes intensified!
and also, "Pink" (another pixel horror game).
This is the first song that's made me feel dread in a very long while
I wonder if the blue haired girl somehow infected her which would make the distorted pictures make more sense. For some reason the blue girl has immunity, but the pink haired one didn’t
It was worth waiting all this time for this incredible song
2:10 you can see eyes on the trees
=0
Bro´s significant other asked "Would you still love me if I was an ancient life zapping tree" and then he said "say less" and made this song.
You know it can't be good when a steampianist song starts with "wake up sleepyhead"
Of course there's a dark twist. It's Steampianist
this will most likely probably be very epico and awesome and epico and awesome
yeah
yes
LITERALLY SOBBING OH MY GOD
Wow this is genuinely incredible, I'm captivated by honestly every single thing in this song from audio , lyrics and art! Seriously cant get enough 🙌💕
me, enjoying the happy song, then BOOM it gets dark I WAS NOT READY
(great song tho)
sad tree lesbians is my new fav type of horror.
Oh wow a rare happy Steampianist song
oh momocashew Mili is the lyricist ok maybe not- ok there it is
It's a cute sad story when even the eldritch tree
I fell in love with your music, I hope you are always given happiness and God bless you
bittersweet in a way isn't it? but sometimes it is that way.. at first i caught a glimpse of what was going on but the tune reassured me that "Everything will be ok" uwu
Turn on English captions. *Eldritch noises*
Sounds right actually
oh my god ım feeling sick rn my heart is squeezing apart
Вы такие классные! Спасибо за новую песню и историю, которая трогает сердца!
Will there be an off-vocal version of this one?
Yes
I just randomly remember you after some years and damn, you're still making bangers😮
"A song about friendship"
new steampianist just dropped❗❗❗
Funny how arduous and arborous can be read so similarly here...
I LOVE THIS SM literally already addicted to it
Babe wake up SteamPianist uploaded a new song
Lyrics by Momocashew? The same Momocashew that sings for Mili? :O ooooo ❤️
wake up babe new steampianist song dropped 🔥
Your music…. I don’t know what it makes me feel but it’s definitely positive
It’s so GREAT
I predict 1 Million subscribers sooner than you think.
such a beautiful story deserves so many more views 😭
GLADOS?
I love this song so much, it makes me so emotional but its so good and its such a good story to it
i was gonna say “this sounds like a mili song” but then i realized 💀 i may be stupid
i never woulda thought of Omori meets the Last of Us but everybody is trees but it ended up being pretty great
edit: IM SORRY WERE THOSE BONE BREAKING SOUNDS IN THE END WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU OKAY DUDE
There is also a video Steampianist made called "I Feed" which has a lot of bone breaking sounds.
it was indeed very epico and awesome
god i almost cried thats beautiful
MOMOCASHEW
After hearing the song a few times I think the girl get infected by brashing her teeth with the leaf like he says brashing our teeth with nion leafs at the start of the song but how is he not infected too?
So this world is ravaged by a virus or disease that causes people to mutate into tree beings. Damn brother offered himself to be the sustenance for his love
I was not expecting Momocashew on this.
WOW
Yaaaaasssuu!!! can't wait for this one!! ^^
I want to say I was tricked by the vibe at the beginning, but I should have known better! Still a happy ending...?
Damn... I gotta say I'm shocked. I already knew Steampianist makes a lot of horror songs especially since Secrets of Wysteria was my first song I listened to so I anticipated it to later on turn dark. But I expected it to be the usual creepy and unsettling type of song. Instead, what I got was sadness and tragedy... But yeah it was a beautiful song and I absolutely loved it
i love u steampianist
Hell yeah, i'm excited
I knew it was too happy to be true
When on Spotify.
well usually a week or more but my distributor told me there are delays for like two weeks
@@SteampianistAlso, 100% my favorite song that's on your channel. Love it!
I.m freaking waiting for it
Nicely done. Actually good.
Steampanis! 🔥🔥🔥
❤️❤️❤️
i was sad because i wasn't able to see it get released but at least im early
i know this song will be heart breaking and warming
Hi Dargu 👋👋
oh so cute... but what's with your bass sound?
Ah yes my favorite time 116 hours 😅
I still don't understand why the short haired character became a tree at 4:22. Or maybe my eyes are seeing it wrong.
I think it's something to do with the last lyrics of the song:
"Mutations and death will not deter my love for you!
So please, sap my life and live...
Live for another day."
I think those parts are meant to be metaphorical representations of the short-haired boy's feelings of just taking from the long-haired girl since she was constantly the one giving her part or all to their friendship while he insecurely felt as though he wasn't giving anything. A give and take, if you will.
@@riverriver9677 tysm for the explanation 👍
I need more music like this. Give me recommendations right now other people in this comment section
Im so bbing
Backgrounds kinda reminds me about Donbass
btw song is cool
(support lesbians or else)
I guess it's a good little horror story for children?
I love how steampianist’s more happy and upbeat songs still make it clear that the scary part is going to happen but even still you never know if it’s actually going to happen or not but I love the way the song slowly builds up and becomes more disturbing as the time passes
“They were trees all along” is my new favourite twist in a story
The progression of this song:
"Awww!"
"Oh... I uh... Yikes."
"*sobbing*"
"Everything will be okay." Steampianist, you can't trick me so easily! I've been here since like 2015, I know for a fact I'll be humming the most fucked up parts of this for months.
I literally just heard that part and was immediately like: "So, who's gonna die first?"
"The Giving Tree" looks different than I remember
In all seriousness, though, this is amazing
feels like a song that would come out of the ending of a platformer that would chnage my life
ELDRITCH DEITIES YEAAAAA
Lyrics for those who want them!
Wake up, sleepyhead.
Brushing our teeth with neon leaves.
Time to make our beds and straighten up the sheets.
Sing 1 2 3, remake the fire.
As big a flame as we desire.
Roasted dandelion coffee, don't worry! It's caffeine free.
But when night came so did the nightmares whispering
The world will stay the same.
Broken air, broken genes.
As I shook you held me in your warm embrace
And all my fears, they all went away.
Comforting words assuring me that...
Everything will be okay.
Under violet skies we ride
Our rusty jeep through verdant misty streets
Raiding what we can find
To help us through these ardous days
But I'm glad you were with me
Oh, despite all these uncertainties.
I know we'll be alright, we'll live...
Live through another day!
Get up, it's 1 o clock.
You have been sleeping a lot lately..
Time to pack our bags and do our daily routine!
Count 1 2 3 tiny mushrooms picked
Off from trees, white pink and blue
Suddenly I felt the trees staring right back at me...
From that day on you slept even more than before.
I can't imagine being without you ever.
As I shook you held my hand "I'll be okay"
You uttered in a withered voice
Comforting words assuring me that..
Everything's alright.
I went on my own
Rode the jeep through verdant misty streets
Raiding what I can find
To help you in your lowest days, but I'm..
Glad you're still with me
Oh, despite all these uncertainties.
I know we'll be alright, we'll live...
Live for another day.
Darling, I'm home. Everything was silent.
You stood at the doorway, your body shaken.
You tried to say something, your tongue has fallen.
You tried to look at me, your eyeballs swollen.
Your skin peeling off. Turning raw, hardened up.
Your arms and your legs and your torso stretched out.
The scabs on your face spreading to your body.
A grim realization is breaking my mind and piercing my heart.
I saw no reason to carry on alone
Without you here, I can't be strong.
I knew I should have burned you down to the crumbs
I should have never stopped moving on..
But then your branch silently covered my hand.
And then your leaves silently absorbed my tears.
As I shook you held me in your warm embrace,
and all my fears they all went away.
My faculities are going numb, yet I feel...
That everything will be okay.
Under sanguine skies we watched...
The world distort and twist before our eyes.
But I'm glad that we can be together in the end!
Mutations and death will not deter my love for you!
So please, sap my life and live...
Live for another day.
I think that crumbs might be ground, silently is suddenly, genes is dreams and that the first "we" is thee.
@@xavierwainwright8799 I just went off what the subtitles gave me 🤷♀
the subtitles: are you stupid ni-
I actually thought this was going to be a rare happy song that might be quite bittersweet if you really think about it.
...I absolutely loved the song!
Stories with this specific theme where people turns into trees are one of my favorite!! On top of being sad and heart-wenching, there's that feeling of people the characters held dear that's "gone" but not really since they're turned into... plants. Alive, there, but they couldn't talk to each other like before anymore. Either the journey must go on leaving their loved ones behind, or staying with them until whatever happens until the actual end of the world ;w;
I think that they didnt turn into a tree, they were a tree the entire timr
can you please recommend some others?
@@ShoogySheep There are some, but one I remember rn is Renri no Eda (u can read it on mangadex), this one is about a couple and it's sad :" There's another one I remember too where the MC can talk to plant and undergo an OP to become plant himself, but I forgot the title ;;
Oh yay another song to add to my playlist to make my family worry about my mental health!
Your playlist cant be *that* concerning....
Right?...
Do tell~ I want to see that playlist
Oof.. Same 😎
I really love the Voice they choise. It’s real or a vocaloid? It so soft and gets with the vibes of the song 😢😍
It's real, and is the featured vocalist in the title.
"everything will be OK." these words have remained in my heart forever
The title is really disturbing if you think about how some people close to death report that they're seeing bright colors
this gave me chills
Im listening to Steampianist music again!! It really makes me relax and comfortable 🌺🌺🌺
WAIT I SEND THIS COMMENT ON THE HALF ON THE SONG!!
@@d3sync343 XD
When Steampianist says "Everything will be oke", you clearly know you are...*censor* up.
They should’ve checked with a professional before eating those mushrooms.
Gosh, kids these days.
Bro how does steampianist always manage to make a banger out of the most depressing things?
The new Minecraft trees look great!
Nois makes noise
This was the first time I almost teared up bc a song was that unsettling. Very nice job 🥲
I've been so obsessed with this song, and love it. It's a new favorite. This gave me the perfect rollercoaster of emotions, as it gradually changed from the opening, to the middle, to the end. I didn't take the "trees" in the literal sense initially, so this went a very different direction in my head before, but I understood after a couple of listens. It's kinda inspiring some art for me as well, and makes me want to do an Animal Crossing animatic, oddly enough lol
11/10 Well done everyone that worked on this! It was an unexpected surprise for this year :)
Vaya, que canción más curiosa, hermosa, perturbadora y triste al mismo tiempo, es INCREÍBLE!!!
Well that took an unexpected turn, I guess I should have known
another twisted masterpiece 👏👏👏
It's super dark but still really cute I'm actually crying
,,,do y'all think that maybe this has something to do with 'walking' where everyone was shook it was wholesome
I see you steam, playing the long game
I was not expecting this to end in some darkwood level stuff ngl
