Soooooooooooooooo yeah....
This song wasn't entirely in my comfort zone, but I enjoyed DDLC so much that I simply had to. I was actually going to do it back in January when I first played the game, but the song wasn't quite clicking so I shelved it for a couple months. Originally it was just a straight acoustic and vocal thing, but when I came back to it, I started playing around with some synths and I really like where it went from there.
I found this VST a while back called "Dexed" which is an extremely good (and free) plugin that emulates a Yamaha DX-7. I used it for all of the synths in this song. You can find hundreds of premade patches online so the possibilities are many. I sequenced all of the synth stuff in my DAW and opted not to film myself playing along with it on keyboard 'cause I thought it would be weird since I literally just clicked the notes in.
I purposely changed the lyrics to seem like the song is sung by the player to Monika. I was sort of poking fun of the "waifu-ism" (is that a term?) that fans of this game (including me) feel toward the characters. I really liked the idea of "editing" the lyrics to suit my means much the way that Monika does with the game files in the game itself.
Anyhoo, I hope you enjoy this one. I had fun with it.

Okay, how tf did this guy not get the views he deserves? This is criminally underrated!
Sounds absolutely beautiful!!!
Marcus Veltri hey marcos im sup
So beautiful.
Here are the lyrics:
Every day, I imagine a future where you can be with me
In your hand is a pen that will write a poem of you and me
The ink flows down into a dark puddle
Just move your hand - write the way into my heart!
But in this world of infinite choices
What did it take just to find this special day?
What did it take just to find this special day?
Have you found you and I just a fun assignment to do today?
When you're here, everything that we do is fun for us anyway
When I can't even read my own feelings
What good are words when your smile says it all?
And if this world won't write us an ending
What will it take just for us to have it all?
Does my pen only write tender words for one who is dear to me?
Is it love if you keep me, or is it love if you set me free?
The ink flows down into a dark puddle
How did you write love into reality?
If I can't hear the sound of your heartbeat
What do we call love in our reality?
And in our reality, if you don't know how to love me
Don‘t leave me be
This is helping me relive all the pleasant parts of DDLC.
Don't make me go back...
*SPOILER WARNING* IF YOU HAVE NOT PLAYED DOKI DOKI LITERATURE CLUB AND ARE EVEN REMOTELY INTERESTED IN DOING SO, DON'T READ THE COMMENTS OR DESCRIPTION! I RECOMMEND PLAYING THROUGH THE GAME (IT ONLY TAKES A FEW HOURS) OR WATCHING AN LP.
I love your cover on the song, but (and I don't know if you do song requests), but is there anyway you could do a cover of a song from mother 3?
@@jadelapont6450 yes
Holy shit how am I just finding this now this is beautiful
Воистину, чувак, воистину. Спето и написано на высшем уровне. Спасибо за сей шедевр!
Man, that was absolute gorgeous, your soft breathy voice, the 80's bass, that lapsteel solo and all dem open chord, I love it. Don't know why I haven't subbed to you yet, but you have my sub now.
This seems more adult if that makes sense.
The most beautiful cover, better than the others.
might've made me cry a little
This is seriously the best cover I’ve heard from this song. I’d like to share some of your stuff with my friends to make you more famous but unfortunately, I don’t really have anybody to share it with x)
Anyway keep up the good work !
❤ made my day
Ah! This is such a good cover, very nice!
Beautiful version dude, very pleasant!
great cover, wow. Vocals were just perfect too
Dude... That's beautifull. Thank you, thank you a lot.
purely beautiful
i love what you’re doing with the lyrics, allowing your interpretation to touch it too :)
This is just brilliant in every way. Such a cool and Josiah-y spin on it! An immediate fave.
ty this isn't cringe like the other covers; gives a nice melancholy feeling
lol thanks!
Best cover of this I've seen yet! Also best use of location
Wow man, this is incredible. I had the weird idea to write a song to Monika...you managed to do a cover and a song to Monika at the same time, very nice.
Just fantastic
duude that's just amazing !
You absolute legend
I was wondering if you were ever going to cover a song from that game!! THE FEEEEEEELS (as always)
legendary as always
Best cover i found. 20k views is far from what this video deserves.
I FUCKING LOVE THIS GAME! And what a great cover too. Really like the mix of synth and drums into your arrangement. Also I’m diggin the classroom background, nice touch!
Perfection!
At first I only heard your cover of Bergentrückung / Asgore and was blown away how beautiful you had made those songs that are among my favorites from the game.
And then I come to your channel and see this... You have an amazing voice aswell! It sounds like you're having a duet with your guitar.
You hit me right in the feels twice in a row, damn you!
"don't leave me be" thats so sweet. Really beautiful :)
didnt expect vocals. pleasantly surprised😊
This cover is gorgeous! Ik this is 6 years too late but I just wanted to comment anyways. Definitely the best cover of this song I've heard. I could easily see this playing in the credits if there was a "good ending" with any of the characters!
🙏
this is amazing
Awesome work!
You deserve so many more views!
Beautiful!
this is sooo good
I leave quite a few comments but there, really, damn it.
You play and sing very well, and with such simplicity, you're so good Josiah.
Now that I have finished the game and heard the original vocal version, I find your version better.
Your voice mixes so well with the guitar, you sing really well, you have this little thing more in you.
I wish many other people discover the artist you are.
Goosebumps.
lovely
Gosh freaking darn your voice is great.
Can't stop listening to this. 😍
amazing dude
When I first heard this song it sounded like you were singing the sound to your subscribers in some parts don't know if that was fully the intention, but very sweet if you did love you man keep up the great work :)
Thank you for this.
:)
Amazing!!!
Amazing
Beautiful voice..😌💕
A Josiah Everhart vid? Oh hell yeah.
this is on par with the original, its so good👍👍
🙏
Sounds beautiful!
put on spotify
Dope slide git!
lov u man
Well done! :D
Very nice I’d love to be there when you record tracks just to see your process. Hopefully you haven’t already made a video about this because it somehow didn’t show up in my feed.
This is literally the only doki doki related thing that doesn’t give me a panic attack
Alright I'm man enough to admit it, I might have cried a little, but shut up
Your secret's safe with me
vocals got me shook
This cover seriously deserved way more likes than this
why do I just find this now
I am melting, that voice!! Not a big fan of the accompaniment tho, would have been great to just have a guitar like the intro imo. But amazing as always :)
Very nice, man. Hope you do Sayonara next.
Hey, I've been in that room!
Tbh I thought it was gonna say
"If you dont know how to love me...Please leave me be"
STOP MAKING MEMES BEAUTIFUL
ESPECIALLY CREEPY ONES
Seriously, good stuff man
The ending Monika deserved. R.I.P.
Its Your Reality
I swear you are Jordan Benjamin's good twin brother

This cover SO COOL!!! I LOVE IT!🖤 Can you tall a TABS of this cover?

Zero dislikes. Just as it should be :)

can someone tell me what the name of the second instrument in the video is? thank you!
Zero dislikes

Care to elaborate on the "waifu-ism" that you feel towards the characters? Heh heh heh, well nice cover Josiah, as is typical from you.
I WANNA LIKE THE VIDEO BUT DONT WANT TO RUIN THE 420!! BECAUSE THATS WHAT REALITY MEANS

It's a lap steel guitar.
