Somehow, the pure piano rendition adds a somewhat melancholic feel to the piece. Very nice to listen to while looking for something calming late at night.
JerichoDeath I'm glad that came through - the Psiioniic's story is rather tragic, and Jade and Bec (who First Turn Fold originally wrote the piece about) are not allowed to remain so cheerful as they are in the early acts. Thanks for listening!
Stumbling upon this nearly two years after the fact is like finding the keys to a brand-new car with a metal detector on the beach. It's like plundering a ruin and finding an ancient treasure. Like looking in your fridge and remembering you've still got that leftover pizza that you thought you'd eaten all of. What I'm trying to say here is that I really enjoy this. Wish I could've been there when this was released, so I could hype with the others. Excellent work.
Regina (RUclips won't let me reply directly to your comment) - No, this is at real speed. It has some rather fast parts (and probably some parts I played faster than I should have), but this is how quickly I played it. The only alterations were that I added reverb (because the room didn't have much of it) and tried to improve the color balance of the video (which doesn't affect sound or speed).
...Wow. Usually, piano covers of songs like this lose something because you're trying to do something that has many different types of instruments with only a piano. But with this one, I forgot I was even listening to a cover in some parts of the song. Granted, there definitely was a small section or two that didn't sound quite right, but those are easy to forget about. Very nicely done.
***** Thank you! Thats what I'm going for these - conveying the effect of the original piece. And sometimes doing that requires a slightly less literal arrangement in favor of something taking advantage of the sonority of the piano.
coming back to this after so many years is something i just cant describe. partly a time capsule but also just a freaking insane composition. i may forget sometimes, but homestuck music (and by extension, your arrangements) will always stick with me. wherever you are now, you have immense skill and talent and i hope you can put that to use.
This sounds so beautiful, it aids in helping me fall asleep yet it jerks my heart cause I know homestuck is over. But I know there are still fans of it and it will last for a long time, especially with the possibility of hiveswap.
There will be fans for a very long time - while posts about it will gradually become sparser (until the possible epilogue, Hiveswap, etc.) I do think it will be increasingly seen as being historically important.
This is so beautiful. I've always loved Gold Pilot, but I never really appreciated its beauty until now. The composer did an amazing job of adapting the glitching from Caliborn's stardust spill. Thank you for including the sheet music. I can't wait to learn this!
LeonardMeltsner Thank you! I hadn't really appreciated it properly until I heard it used in comic, but then it kept growing on me...and thus the arrangement. Best of luck learning it!
Still after all these years this rendition of the song makes me tear up and gives me mad chills. (and after all these years i'm still utterly unable to play it myself 😅)
Even when i ignored a few notes and focused on the most important ones, this song is still incredibly tricky to play and I haven't been able to play it through cleanly! Or like. At all. I only know the first, say, minute or two? After that I sorta gave up, I don't have a whole lot of patience. That said, this is amazing! You can really nail those fast shifts, which is incredible.
I watched this video about a few months after it was made, I still revisit to this day because this is the video that I found so beautiful I wanted to learn piano because of it. And I'm a newbie but I started
This is one of my fave Homestuck songs/OST thingies and when I found this I honestly teared up a little, you are absolutely bloody amazing I have not stopped listening to this all day. I would have this played at my damn funeral.
XxStrike2000xX Thank you! I really appreciate it (as always, credit to First Turn Fold for composing the piece in the first place). Hopefully you're a rather long while away from your corpse party.
Yeah, First Turn Fold did a very good piece in the notes, not just in stereo shenanigans. First Turn Fold has done music since Gold Pilot - I recommend listening to the recent music on his Soundcloud.
Happy Homestuck anniversary to whoever sees this ; w ; 💙❤💜💚 💖💕💛💖💕AND THANK YOU for making this video ;____;💖💕💛💖💕 I love this song so much, It was one of my favorites when i was reading HS I'm so grateful to be able to hear a piano version 💛💖💕🤧🙏💛💖💕
This is incredible! I couldn't imagine this song being more hauntingly beautiful, and then I found your piano version of it. Thank you for sharing your talent with us :)
Omg I LITERALLY cried at how good you are! This is my number one favourite OST from Homestuck and you just made it better 'cause I'm in love with music played on a piano. I even have a keyboard myself. Omg I can't get over the fact how good you are ;w; ❤
Thank you! First Turn Fold did well composing this track. (Also, as you like Gold Pilot, you might want to check out the recent tracks First Turn Fold's soundcloud - they're not Homestuck, but also good.)
+DoTheMusicyThing This is amazing! This is so inspiring, I showed this to my grandpa (who is a pianist) and he showed me the basics of the piano. I've done percussion for 3 and a half years so I know all the notes and how to play it, but this is going to be my motivation to get better if I get my own piano. Thanks so much for making this, you are an amazingly talented person and a terrific musician :)
thank you so much for putting the time and effort into this. Your rendition is incredibly beautiful! Seriously, it's people like you who make this fandom come alive for me.
This piece is absolutely beautiful, and the way you capture it in your arrangement is magnificent. I'm aspiring to be a composer when I get into college. I already arrange music to the best of my ability, but your music drives me to arrange songs of such a higher level. The notations you write in there along with the piece makes it so descriptive and beautiful, as if it already wasn't. And even your playing is beautiful. Bravo, sir.
THIS IS THE BEST PIANO COVER IVE EVER HEARD! The emotion put into this is astonishing and I'm just absolutely in love with it. Thank you so much for making this for us.
Pirated this from the back end server of my ship. Being a helmsman is exhausting, but nobody's gonna stop me from plugging this beauty straight onto my thinkpan. Hell yes.
Instant subscribe. Just... holy shit, if I didn't just see that I wouldn't think it was possible. This is the first time I've ever regretted stopping my piano lessons.
+howlingarmadillo Thanks! It's definitely worth taking/continuing to take lessons for a while to get started. While I'm not currently taking piano lessons (composition is my main focus), I did for about 12 years, and couldn't have learned the necessary technique without them.
Hermoso :'3 es realmente hermoso.. la verdad es que me encanta que haya gente que se detenga a pensar en Homestuck y hacer estas cosas ... Thank you for this!!
dUde, yoU totally rock! i started a read pretty recently, already on the fin-ishing chapters, just a meowter of time BEFORE I CAN FINALLY STOP READING LIKE SERIOUSLY I HAD TO SPEND OVER TWENTY-FOUR HOURS THIS COMIC IS SO LOOOONG. In all seriousness, this is a nice cover! I really liked it!
OMG how didn't I find this any time sooner! This is one of my favorite musics in all of Homestuck's bandcamp and this rendition is simply breathtaking :o definitely gonna check out the rest of your work!
Oh my goodness. I mean I knew I loved this song before, but hearing it in a piano rendition just made it THAT much more lovable!!! I play piano as well and I must say you played the SH*T out of this song!! Amazing job!!!
This is a beautiful rendition, and very technically impressive to boot. I mean, that stuff at the beginning with the crossing hands... just looking at it makes things three times better.
Ive watched a good few of your piano arrangements, and I must admit it that the feelings stirred from hearing you piano skills have me astounded. You do such amazing work and have such amazing skills. I really wish more heard and liked you videos. They are very much worthy of it. I had my eyes glued to your hands the whole time and they effort put into something like that should really be praised. Thank you for sharing your talent and I really hope to see some more from you.
From the looks of it you are receiving a lot of well earned complements, and you deserve absolutely ever single one of them. This, what you are doing, displaying your talent for the people that sit at home and search for people like you to watch, is amazing. Whenever I listen to this, which is about everyday, I do in the morning and while I am doing work or something. It makes me feel calm, and patient. Makes me think of everything I have done, and what will I do. I am usually pessimistic, not much of an optimist, but this changes it all. My point, you are fantastic (so is your name) and I hope for you to get even more subscribers.
Leoxelli Thanks! I really like the original (while I doubt it will happen, I hope that Hussie will use the rest of the original Gold Pilot in the gigaupd8.)
this is so perfect. i already love the original song to bits and to find such a good piano version of it just fnksfjnsmamsmdmadk its so well done i listen to this all the time
Do The Musicy Thing for achiving godly pianist skills you soar to the rank of "musical philosipher"(whatever that even means) take that rank with pride my good sir!
God god. I'll be sure to learn this in due time, but I doubt I'll convey as much emotion as you do here. You're an amazing musician! I'll be sure to look up to you for inspiration.
VintageLemomade Thank you - Honestly, a lot of what is perceived as emotion in performers is just them understanding (whether intellectually or instinctively) what's happening in the music. And then caring enough about the piece to bring that out. So study music theory and generally seek to understand what you're playing, and you will convey emotion.
55566693 Thanks! I'll keep making arrangements. It may be a while before the next one is posted, because of school, but I will continue when I have time.
Amazing work, you manage to make it more then just notes being played :) Can't stop listening to this actually haha... You managed to make a beautiful version of this for piano. Edit: poked through your tumblr and found the sheet music :D
reberock1234 Thanks! I'll definitely do more in time. This semester will keep happening for the next two and a half months, and, while I'm hoping to work on making arrangements during that time, I don't expect to have a new video until late December. But I have ideas for the next few pieces I want to arrange, so more will be coming.
Gold Pilot has become one of my favorite pieces in the Homestuck soundtrack/album(s). This song is beautifully played by you. I especially love the beginning. (I first got hooked on this song by only hearing the beginning.) I love the slower parts that encourage more detail as well. Wonderful job, I love it.
Gabby Dunn Thank you - yes, the beginning of that piece is really good, and I'm glad it came off in the arrangement. Gold Pilot was great in A6A6I1 - I rather hope the rest of it will be used somewhere in the endgame animations.
As do I! I was so disappointed with the glitches in the animation (though those are actually part of the song, which I figured out later) but it's part of the web-comic, and I can't do anything nearly as complicated and thoughtful, so who am I to complain? I've enjoyed everything so far, anyway. However, I do agree that it would be wonderful if it was fully used, at least before everything comes to an end.
It was rather brilliant for Hussie to use a piece that already sounded like it was glitching a bit and then make the glitches more dramatic so it sounded like it glitched into not working entirely.
Haha, yeah, that's exactly what I thought when I heard the glitches in Gold Pilot. Everyone says he's a lazy animator and writer but I think that's the furthest from the truth. It takes extensive planning to do what he's doing, especially since he has to make sure that even in it's complexity, the story still makes sense, at least as far as the concept goes.
Yeah, he's definitely not lazy. His art style is efficient - if a panel just needs to convey information, he only takes time for that, without making it more elaborate. And when something needs to look awesome, he takes the time to make sure it does. Yes, comics like Dresden Codak and Stand Still, Stay Silent look much better than Homestuck in general, but that time spent on art means they don't average nearly the speed Hussie does, so they can't tell such a substantial story. I've never seen him called a lazy writer, and the fact that he's written over 800k words, including the best dialogue of any story, in less than seven years disproves that.
I hope to be able to do stuff like this one day, you are amazing! One of my favorite tracks in Homestuck putting my favorite instrument to the test and it was awesome! Seriously, I know that this more or less a cliche, but more Homestucks need to know about you. Also, every song on your channel is one of my favorites, I'm not even joking whenever I saw the pages that they were on I loved them instantly and you made me love them more.
of course it is thats like my job or something i get paid in irony points which i use to buy equally ironic coolkid points which i then fill my bathtub with to bathe in daily it does wonders for the complexion
Rosescarletful Thanks for listening! (I also hope it gets more views; it's been gaining a lot faster in the last fortnight thanks to people reblogging it on tumblr, so I'm optimistic.)

Glad you found it and liked it!
It's like finding a bottle of unopened apple juice in your closet. It's like Christmas.
+Baylie3x FEEIIISHH Recruit slick dude
Ego what if the apple juice is piss?
mate i'm 5 years late thats even worse
holy shit you even got the glitchy parts right! I hope one day I'm as good at piano as you.
The glitchy parts are important - I couldn't arrange it and leave them out.
Do The Musicy Thing I have mad respect for you.
Regina (RUclips won't let me reply directly to your comment) - No, this is at real speed.

Hiveswap as officially been annouced ^_^
Wait really?
yes
It comes out in a week :DDD
I feel like this is a funeral song for homestuck but as we all know well everything must die before it god tiers.
@carp jade died twice before she god tiered so there is still hope yet!!
This is so beautiful. I've always loved Gold Pilot, but I never really appreciated its beauty until now. The composer did an amazing job of adapting the glitching from Caliborn's stardust spill. Thank you for including the sheet music. I can't wait to learn this!
LeonardMeltsner Thank you! I hadn't really appreciated it properly until I heard it used in comic, but then it kept growing on me...and thus the arrangement. Best of luck learning it!
When i heard what little of it was in comic i ignored it. It was actually LuminantAegis who brought my attention to it. Its an amazing song
Especially on the piano. Good job +Do The Musicy Thing
Still after all these years this rendition of the song makes me tear up and gives me mad chills. (and after all these years i'm still utterly unable to play it myself 😅)
Haunting yet comforting. Dark yet Beautiful. Truly a wonderful song.
Truly magnificent. I prefer the piano version more than the original.
Abrail Zelkri Wow...thank you.
Even when i ignored a few notes and focused on the most important ones, this song is still incredibly tricky to play and I haven't been able to play it through cleanly! Or like. At all. I only know the first, say, minute or two? After that I sorta gave up, I don't have a whole lot of patience.
That said, this is amazing! You can really nail those fast shifts, which is incredible.
patience yields focus my dude
i feel you so hardcore
I watched this video about a few months after it was made, I still revisit to this day because this is the video that I found so beautiful I wanted to learn piano because of it. And I'm a newbie but I started
i believe in you! you got this
Geez... ~5 years later and I still love listening to this. Even after my homestuck phase this is still great.
What matters more, after the death of something great, is not the life it lived but instead the life it gave to others.
This is one of my fave Homestuck songs/OST thingies and when I found this I honestly teared up a little, you are absolutely bloody amazing I have not stopped listening to this all day. I would have this played at my damn funeral.
XxStrike2000xX Thank you! I really appreciate it (as always, credit to First Turn Fold for composing the piece in the first place). Hopefully you're a rather long while away from your corpse party.
Haha well, death is always around the corner, you never know. Not to get this convo all depressing n all LOL Thanks again!~
It's so cool how this gives me chills just like the original (and now I know that it's not just the dizzying stereo tricks).
Yeah, First Turn Fold did a very good piece in the notes, not just in stereo shenanigans. First Turn Fold has done music since Gold Pilot - I recommend listening to the recent music on his Soundcloud.
2022 and still coming back to this. I remember being in middle school playing this while doing homework.
I admire your ability to faithfully recreate digital music into piano music.
Same.
Happy Homestuck anniversary to whoever sees this ; w ; 💙❤💜💚
💖💕💛💖💕AND THANK YOU for making this video ;____;💖💕💛💖💕 I love this song so much, It was one of my favorites when i was reading HS I'm so grateful to be able to hear a piano version 💛💖💕🤧🙏💛💖💕
This is incredible! I couldn't imagine this song being more hauntingly beautiful, and then I found your piano version of it. Thank you for sharing your talent with us :)
+Lore & Fablery Thank you for listening!
This is so painfully beautiful I don't even know what to do with myself.
how do people play the piano, it amazes me.
Omg I LITERALLY cried at how good you are! This is my number one favourite OST from Homestuck and you just made it better 'cause I'm in love with music played on a piano. I even have a keyboard myself. Omg I can't get over the fact how good you are ;w; ❤
Thank you! First Turn Fold did well composing this track. (Also, as you like Gold Pilot, you might want to check out the recent tracks First Turn Fold's soundcloud - they're not Homestuck, but also good.)

Thanks so much for making this, you are an amazingly talented person and a terrific musician :)
+Riley Berens Thank you! Good luck learning piano - percussion should have trained you a lot in flexible musicianship, so that'll help.
+Do The Musicy Thing Yes it has, thank you so much! I wanted to ask you one thing though; what got you into piano?
There was a piano in the house, so...at some point (when I was around 6) I started playing.
thank you so much for putting the time and effort into this. Your rendition is incredibly beautiful! Seriously, it's people like you who make this fandom come alive for me.
Thanks! I'm glad people like listening to these; it makes them worth the time that has to go into them.
God even after all these years your piano covers are still amazing, I think I'll be listening to your work for as long as I live.
Holy shit that gave me chills. That was amazing.
GameFactor Thanks for listening!

THIS IS THE BEST PIANO COVER IVE EVER HEARD! The emotion put into this is astonishing and I'm just absolutely in love with it. Thank you so much for making this for us.
I'm just starting to learn piano, and this would be a fantastic piece to work towards - the arrangement is beautiful
this is so amazing omg
Aradia Megido Thanks! Double pistols and a ;)
Just finished learning your Moonsetter arrangement, this one looks like a fun step up!
this is incredibly beautiful. if i could add videos to my favorites more than once, i'd have done that to this video.
Thank you!
Wow. Just wow. This is the first Musicy Thing I've witnessed, and wow. Color me amazed. Lovely arrangement.
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it.
holy shit this is amazing how am i only just finding this
Wow! Crazy how Homestuck fandom was so big, I'm finding gems years and years after they were made. This rendition moved me to tears - stunning work.
Pirated this from the back end server of my ship. Being a helmsman is exhausting, but nobody's gonna stop me from plugging this beauty straight onto my thinkpan. Hell yes.
Instant subscribe. Just... holy shit, if I didn't just see that I wouldn't think it was possible. This is the first time I've ever regretted stopping my piano lessons.
+howlingarmadillo this makes me want to take piano lessons
+howlingarmadillo Thanks! It's definitely worth taking/continuing to take lessons for a while to get started. While I'm not currently taking piano lessons (composition is my main focus), I did for about 12 years, and couldn't have learned the necessary technique without them.
This is gorgeous

Thank you for this!!
In love with this
dUde, yoU totally rock! i started a read pretty recently, already on the fin-ishing chapters, just a meowter of time BEFORE I CAN FINALLY STOP READING LIKE SERIOUSLY I HAD TO SPEND OVER TWENTY-FOUR HOURS THIS COMIC IS SO LOOOONG.
In all seriousness, this is a nice cover! I really liked it!
If the original is badass, this one is beautiful. Thank you for this rendition of the song.
I'm seriously really impressed on how you arranged that those rhythms ain't easy and it sounds incredible
Jenny Gan It is indeed not easy, but I'm glad it came out well. Thanks for listening!
This is my fave Homestuck song and I've always wanted to hear a cover on piano of it.
This arrangement it's so beautifully played!!
Judy Helena Thanks - First Turn Fold composed an excellent piece.
OMG how didn't I find this any time sooner! This is one of my favorite musics in all of Homestuck's bandcamp and this rendition is simply breathtaking :o definitely gonna check out the rest of your work!

Jordyn Glenn Thanks! It's an excellent piece, and I'm glad I was finally able to cover it.
This is so beautiful! Seriously, this was so well done! Kudos to you, doll! Very lovely.
AAH THIS IS BEYOND GORGEOUS AND YOU'RE SO TALENTED
Isabel Garcia I agree!
This was,, surprisingly beautiful. Awesome work!!
Yay! I love this song. It's one of my favourites and you do it justice. Thank you!
+ChildOfCreationCosplay 3 Thank you! First Turn Fold composed a very good piece.
This is the most relaxing thing to listen to. Ever.
This is beautiful
Really Good!
Absolutely love this cover! Beautifully arranged and played
Thank you - I'll keep doing these arrangements.
Absolutely beautiful piano cover
Sorry I'm 9 years late lol
Sometimes I ask myself why I'm still learning piano. It's this.
This is a beautiful rendition, and very technically impressive to boot. I mean, that stuff at the beginning with the crossing hands... just looking at it makes things three times better.
+David Brickey Thank you! I appreciate it.
Great work.
Ive watched a good few of your piano arrangements, and I must admit it that the feelings stirred from hearing you piano skills have me astounded. You do such amazing work and have such amazing skills. I really wish more heard and liked you videos. They are very much worthy of it. I had my eyes glued to your hands the whole time and they effort put into something like that should really be praised. Thank you for sharing your talent and I really hope to see some more from you.
Literal chills... incredible cover.
it just gets better and better, wow! i am blown away!
8 years since.
I arranged Carne Vale and now I'm thinking about arranging this. You played it very well!
Thanks! What did you arrange Carne Vale for?
For fun, I suppose. Really just to try to gain some experience.
I WANT TO CRY THIS IS BEAUTYFUL
This is an absolutely beautiful cover, and I find myself unable to stop listening to it. You did a wonderful job.
This is one of my favorite songs from Universe A album...great cover!
subversiveasset Thanks! First Turn Fold composed a great piece.
How do I like this more than once

Do The Musicy Thing No problem. It felt nice to say it!
holy shit this thing gave me chills. I love it
+artisticCatastrophe Thank you! First Turn Fold composed a very good piece.
This is so great! Probably one of my favourite covers by you :3
Thanks! It's definitely been the most popular (although Heir of Grief seems like it might catch up in a few months).
Do The Musicy Thing oh yeah XD I love heir of grief aswell but this is awesome XD
beautiful
You gave me goosebumps with this piece of art here
that was beautiFUL
Leoxelli Thanks! I really like the original (while I doubt it will happen, I hope that Hussie will use the rest of the original Gold Pilot in the gigaupd8.)
It is so beautiful! I even cant say how many times I listened this song.
BRAVO , BRAVO!!!!!! never before have i heard such an amazing rendition of an already amazing song! well done!
Jason Dusk Thanks! It was indeed an excellent piece to begin with, and I'm glad I was able to capture some part of that.
this is so perfect. i already love the original song to bits and to find such a good piano version of it just fnksfjnsmamsmdmadk its so well done i listen to this all the time
Allison Lund The original is excellent - it's a bit tricky to fit into two hands on piano, but eventually I worked it out. Thanks for listening!
Do The Musicy Thing for achiving godly pianist skills you soar to the rank of "musical philosipher"(whatever that even means) take that rank with pride my good sir!
Thank you!

best idea ever: playing this in a loop
Good job dude! Keep up the good work!

one is posted, because of school, but I will continue when I have time.
Amazing work, you manage to make it more then just notes being played :)
Can't stop listening to this actually haha... You managed to make a beautiful version of this for piano.
Edit: poked through your tumblr and found the sheet music :D
+Kieran7931 Thank you! Glad you found the sheet music.
You are legit the best piano player I've ever seen in my life!
Would you do another song?
You're just so amazing!

Gold Pilot has become one of my favorite pieces in the Homestuck soundtrack/album(s). This song is beautifully played by you. I especially love the beginning. (I first got hooked on this song by only hearing the beginning.) I love the slower parts that encourage more detail as well. Wonderful job, I love it.
Gabby Dunn Thank you - yes, the beginning of that piece is really good, and I'm glad it came off in the arrangement. Gold Pilot was great in A6A6I1 - I rather hope the rest of it will be used somewhere in the endgame animations.
As do I! I was so disappointed with the glitches in the animation (though those are actually part of the song, which I figured out later) but it's part of the web-comic, and I can't do anything nearly as complicated and thoughtful, so who am I to complain? I've enjoyed everything so far, anyway. However, I do agree that it would be wonderful if it was fully used, at least before everything comes to an end.
It was rather brilliant for Hussie to use a piece that already sounded like it was glitching a bit and then make the glitches more dramatic so it sounded like it glitched into not working entirely.
Haha, yeah, that's exactly what I thought when I heard the glitches in Gold Pilot. Everyone says he's a lazy animator and writer but I think that's the furthest from the truth. It takes extensive planning to do what he's doing, especially since he has to make sure that even in it's complexity, the story still makes sense, at least as far as the concept goes.
Yeah, he's definitely not lazy. His art style is efficient - if a panel just needs to convey information, he only takes time for that, without making it more elaborate. And when something needs to look awesome, he takes the time to make sure it does. Yes, comics like Dresden Codak and Stand Still, Stay Silent look much better than Homestuck in general, but that time spent on art means they don't average nearly the speed Hussie does, so they can't tell such a substantial story. I've never seen him called a lazy writer, and the fact that he's written over 800k words, including the best dialogue of any story, in less than seven years disproves that.
I like your piano, it is so Kawai
+salamander7125 Heh. I do like the touch and tone of Kawai pianos overall (not just the one I play for these).
I love this so much!
KeyBladeChaserVen Thanks! First Turn Fold's original was very good material to work with.
This is absolutely breathtaking! :o
This is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for this.
Mistress Maiden Thanks! Much of the credit goes to First Turn Fold for composing the original piece.
+Do The Musicy Thing Of course, of course. This is just a beautiful rendition of it. :)
I hope to be able to do stuff like this one day, you are amazing! One of my favorite tracks in Homestuck putting my favorite instrument to the test and it was awesome! Seriously, I know that this more or less a cliche, but more Homestucks need to know about you. Also, every song on your channel is one of my favorites, I'm not even joking whenever I saw the pages that they were on I loved them instantly and you made me love them more.
Oh my god Im actually gonna cry.... that was so gorgeous
Dave Strider Dave Strider, cry? Surely it's just the onions.
dont worry theyre ironic tears
Dave Strider Your humor always goes through normal human comprehension, nice.
of course it is thats like my job or something i get paid in irony points which i use to buy equally ironic coolkid points which i then fill my bathtub with to bathe in daily it does wonders for the complexion
Wonderful!
Ooh, I just found this channel. The download button's gonna be my friend.
Damn.. you should get a lot of more views for something like this, its really beautiful :)
Rosescarletful Thanks for listening! (I also hope it gets more views; it's been gaining a lot faster in the last fortnight thanks to people reblogging it on tumblr, so I'm optimistic.)
Let me see if I can grab a friend of mine to do this... Great work by the way!
nope just nope (please)
You have amazing talent. Keep doing what you're doing!
Thanks! I will.
