hello to the Tubed You it's 1am on a saturday morning and i'm gonna talk about communications hopefully for the last time because in the past i didn't do a very good job of keeping my previous talks about it in a Conveniently Accessible All Compiled In One Place, and because of that some people heard what i had to say and some missed :( i don't want people to miss out so i hope this is a good place to put this! if you don't know what communications was, i'll try to nutshell explain it real quick: it was a song series i started back in early 2016 and cancelled in mid-2017. it's comprised of rotary dial, black&white, housewife radio and broadcast illusion (in that order), and while colorbars is *technically* related, it wasn't an official part of the series (tl;dr i was gonna use colorbars, didn't like the song though, so i made a new song that basically tells the same story). while small summaries of what each song specifically covered were in the original descriptions, a majority of the story was kept pretty much contained to my now-deleted tumblr account and pretty much only the people who paid attention to that blog knew the most about the story. i talked a lot about what i planned on doing, a majority of which didn't get put into a song before i cancelled the project. personally, i don't want to re-tell the story (both the stuff that was in video descriptions, stuff that was only on tumblr, and stuff i never talked about publicly). i know doing so would clear up any misunderstandings/contradicting info and give context to what i'm talking about, but i'd still rather not. a LOT of other people and i have had a lot of valid criticisms against communications, and while i know there's some nuance concerning liking something you acknowledge objectively bad/problematic, i personally don't wanna be the one to introduce more people to the series since i currently have....... over twice as many subscribers as i had when i cancelled it, i think? i can't remember how many i had back then but it was definitely under 100k. that's just my personal preference and i hope you can understand! so here's where i fucked up: my plans for communications started out as a three-song, really shallow story. i didn't have much of anything in mind for it other than a "this happens and then this happens" sorta story, but as more people showed deeper interest in the story and asked questions about it, i started fleshing things out more. it quickly turned into what i planned to be a 12-song series, broken into four separate stories called cases. now, what i did was make the mistake of not thinking at all before i did any of this. i improvised answers to questions without really thinking about how it connected to the story, i didn't give an ounce of thought into how each aspect of the story would reflect on each other, i didn't try to predict what sorts of meanings people could draw from the series (i know that anyone can come up with any interpretation of my stories they want and that's kinda out of my control, but to an extent i do want to make sure my stories couldn't *easily* be interpreted as something harmful or offensive), just like....... i mean it literally when i say communications was entirely improvised. and improvisation isn't inherently bad, don't get me wrong! but you really need to know what you're doing when you improvise, and unfortunately "knowing what i was doing" and "18 year-old me" were on COMPLETELY opposite ends of the globe we ended up with a story and characters that hardly made any sense, some characters' developments were flatter than some people think the earth is, and in more aspects than one were insensitive as hell towards even my own experiences. for context, i base a majority of my songs/stories/characters off my own personal experiences. they're not all self-insert levels of similarities, but if you really think about it you'll notice like 80% of my ocs have abandonment issues and are too emotional for their own good. for just one example out of many others. nancy was a character with abandonment issues, henry was a character who had been abused by his mother frances since childhood, and kennith was a character who faced abuse from his peers and emotional neglect from his parents. except 18 y/o me thought there wasn't gonna be any issues with having nancy kill someone because of her issues, having henry come out relatively un-traumatized, and not talk publicly nearly enough about how kennith's experiences impacted him in adulthood. while it's true that mentally ill people and abuse survivors can do bad things or be bad people, there's a difference between realistic portrayals and over-represented stigmas. mentally ill people aren't violent, and in reality are much more likely to face violence than commit it themselves, yet the "scary, dangerous mentally ill person" seems to be the majority of the representation we get. emotional abuse is often taken way less seriously than it should be due to there not being any physically visible scars. and lastly, if i say a character is something (especially something under-represented), i should actually show it! i've heard the argument "but fiction doesn't affect reality that much" over and over again, and i personally disagree? there's plenty of examples of fiction affecting reality - take for example what jaws did to sharks, or a bit closer to this topic, how movies like "psycho" and "split" affected the public's perception of people with dissociative identity disorder. even outside of fiction impacting society, it's just my own personal preference to avoid stigmatic portrayals of mental illness in my songs and stories and i hope that can be respected regardless of your opinion on this particular criticism. even though the characters in communications stemmed from my own experiences with mental illness, abuse, and neglect, that doesn't mean i could just do whatever the hell i wanted without giving it much thought. i'm still responsible for how i portray my experiences! i genuinely am sorry to anyone who was hurt by how these characters were handled, you guys deserved a lot better. since working on communications i've learned a lot about myself that's changed the way i view my experiences, and for the past couple years i've been heavily focusing on doing everything i can think of to avoid repeating communications. i had planned a remake of communications to improve all its flaws, but in the end i felt a total loss of enjoyment towards the series because i just wanna move on and do better (which is why i finally cancelled the series). as much as i wish i could turn communications into something that isn't so.......... Yikes, i don't see myself working on the story again and actually being happy while doing so. that's really the best way i can explain why i won't be revisiting the story. i hope i can show i've learned from the whole experience through my future story projects. this also brings up a side-topic specifically regarding communications' cancellation - i want to say that that decision was in no way anyone's fault but my own. at the time i had expressed feeling pressured when fans would ask "when is the next part coming out?" and "why haven't you uploaded a new part yet?". i can't remember exactly what i said, but i said something along the lines of implying that i might cancel the series if people continued pressuring me to finish it faster. though this wasn't meant as a threat and more of a "i don't perform well under pressure" statement, i totally understand why people would assume it was meant as a threat and why that would be really hurtful (especially considering people were asking those questions out of curiosity, not with the intent to pressure me to work faster). i'm really sorry for having said that, that wasn't ok and i should've handled expressing my concerns with more empathy. i wanna make sure it's clear that the final decision to cancel communications wasn't the public's fault at all - just my own loss of interest in the project. i think.............. that's about it. i'll come back and edit this post if i think of anything else to add. thank you for reading!! obligatory reminder to drink water and take ur meds if u have meds u need to take
i completely understand. it's your call at this point, and i'm fine with either choice. this song will never stop being an absolute banger though edit: ghost it is now the roaring 20s
@Ben Kaw i did apologize on behalf of lauren shortly after the song's release, but since then i've heard a bunch of different opinions on whether candle queen demonized people with hpd or not from people with hpd themselves - because i myself don't have hpd i don't feel like it's my place to decide which side is right if that makes sense? i don't wanna avoid responsibility but i also don't want to look at people with hpd who have differing opinions and just. pick which people are right and which ones aren't when i don't even have it myself
@@pot6389 Nope it was a mistake and I left it here for the randomness of it lol. Kinda late reply, sorry. I meant to comment on the song honey I'm home but I had it in a queue and it turned the next song on and I commented under this lol.
I'm just imagining that Frances finds out that her son's died and preforms a summoning ritual to get in contact with him and in her mind she just says "Can't ignore me now, huh bitch."
@@hunnybeeuwu4188 bruh I’m saying people will deadass be skipping and leaping and living their BEST lives and the person promoting the damned medicine will have their voice overlapping it being like “Symptoms may include, shitting your brains out, vomiting, literal fucking death” LMAO

My parents told me they were going to originally name me Frances... Granted, it’s my middle name but fate’s prevented me from having a son named Henry and possibly tormenting him over the phone
Ooo show them this vid, seems like fate really tried hard on avoiding all the coincidences by making your parents changing their thought on naming you frances
Problem: my birthname *is* Frances. Originally, when I realized that I was a trans man, I was going to just go to Francis, but then I thought of this and realized I've encountered both a Nancy and Henry. I gave up, and now I'm Noah. Maybe we can change fate with music.
question, who is who? I honestly have no clue who tf most of Ghost's character's names are I've just given them self explanitory titles like Distortionist Radio Host Housewife etc
For awhile there I thought they said 'crime after crime' and when I checked the lyrics I was thoroughly dissapointed that they were not commiting tax fraud for some guy who wouldnt pick up the damn phone.
I’ve decided to count how many phone calls are estimated in the time of this song. 181 phone calls were made in this song. I am physically sweating from counting all of the lines shes mentioned calls shes made in. Someone murder me.
With 255,513 views and 110 phone calls/bills then.... 110 x 255,513 (all the views ) (pulls out calculator) grand total of 28,106,430 phone calls and counting
I thought colorbars + broadcast illusion were connected to the other two because they were broadcasting a signal (one that, spoilers for the other 2, made the woman in Housewife Radio kill her husband and think he was speaking to her through the radio, and the woman in Rotary Dial obsess over someone over the phone). Probably wrong tho
@MashiroSato they are in a way. they were all apart of the same song series called communications, which was sadly cancelled. Rotary Dial, Black & White, and Housewife Radio are Case 1, and Colorbars and Broadcast Illusion are Case 2
It took me way too long tom relise that aswell.Now I just really want to know the story that was supposed to be there, it looks so intresting and incomplete, I dream about it cause phycologyu stuff, you can leave something unfinshed and not think about it.
Something that I found interesting: from 2:07 the font used in Housewife Radio starts to pop up as well as appearing in various places near the end ("IT'S DRIVING ME MAD" 4:30, and any use of "Stich, Sew, Cut," not to mention that the colour sequence for Stich, Sew, etc. is BLUE, GREEN, YELLOW and RED (where do we see that again???), like i said tho, just some symbolism that i found really cool ^^
i heard the song "Black and White" first, then 'Housewife Radio", and then this song (i listened to them backwards I guess) and every time the song before that sounds like another song I was like *n o n i*
1st Chorus - 43rd call 30 Year Jump 2nd Chorus - 87th call (3:10) 3rd Chorus - 110th call (4:27) This means, in the 30 years between the first two choruses, she made 44 calls. That's just under 1 and a half calls a year. But between the 2nd and 3rd choruses, there is no time jump, so we have to assume that the length of time is just the time between the choruses (which is why I included those timestamps). So, this tracks that she made 23 calls in 1:17. This means she was making roughly a call EVERY 3 SECONDS. She really ramped it up at the end there.
"Stitch Sew Cut Ties." "Stitch Sew, Live and die!" Hey wait a minute- edit: i hate how this dumbass obvious comment that my dumbass wrote is my top comment :SAD: guys its obvious
hello past me, i think you kinda just stated the obvious since theyre obviously apart of a discontinued series ya dingus =_=; also why is this one of the top comments, i mean im grateful but- why- edit from current me: oh good lord that emote hurts to use, why did i stutter throguh text please stop :SAD:
I love the visuals in this. Despite the serious topic of the song (which I also love), some of the rapid dancing makes me laugh. Thank u for letting us comment. You're very talented and I'm very happy I can tell you how much I love this video
@@masterfulmoonlighter5402 basically, a lonely mother repeatedly calls her son throughout the day every day for years, telling him to stay at home with her, that she wants him to die, and other crazy ramblings. This takes place in the 1920s and 1950s. It is also part one of a discontinued series called "communications". Part 2 is "black & white", part three is "housewife radio".
I like the bits that aren't dancing: People partying without care, a woman calling to someone from her home, a couple kissing, someone falling off a cliff, etc. Kinda aids in telling the story.
What I think is wild is that even though this video was my second Vocaloid song, and was showed to me with no context from a huge fan of yours, and left me utterly confused (because she didn't explain anything), I never ONCE questioned if this was sung by a real human or not. I TOTALLY thought this was a 100% professionally made video too. You did such a good job on this.
@@corvidGarden I know that, I'm talking about how it made DAINA sound angelic. Knowing what vocaloid was used is something that I obviously know because of how it's mentioned in the goddamn title. Plus, I wouldn't even have responded to this comment if I didn't know.
Yo, I just noticed this. Because of Frances' light sensitivity she could only go out at night when the sun wasn't out, maybe thats what the phrase "after dark and after I've..." Is referencing, her old life that lead her to this point.

3:00 literally the best part of this song its driving me mad the way the beat changes to how it was at the start is just auaufguhUHAUSHAGUHGUG ESPECIALLY THE CHANGE OF LYRIC TO "THREADED CORDS AND SEWING WORDS SAY I DO AND END THE WORLD" IS SO GOOD ive been listening to ghosts music for so long and they never get old ghost uve been on my top spotify artists for AGES and i dont find u coming down any sooner
My grandmother is now in a nursing home and she will, every time she runs out of it, call my mom literally hundreds of times and get angry and beg her to bring Diet Dr.Pepper. So every week or two we have to drive 30 miles to another town to bring her a big box of Diet Dr.Pepper to get her to stop calling. I Think I Understand This Song In A New Light Now.
Stitch sew cut ties- Henry cutting ties with his mother Stitch sew live and die- Nancy alive and Henry dead Stitch sew I tried- She tried as a mother Stitch sew your alive- Happy that Henry is alive still But this is just me
this is a comment on hyperdontia which got merged with a video on kimi wa dekinai ko that i'm now seeing on rotary dial. i have no idea where this reply will end up. i think my youtube's broken.
Alex this song is the first song in ghost's series, communications. The series is really good! The songs in it are rotary dial, black and white, housewife radio, colorbars, and broadcast illusion.
Thanks for re-enabling comments! You're definitely my favourite Vocaloid creator and I was sad that I couldn't tell you how much I love your videos and songs
This song actually puts me in a trance where I have to get up and dance to it I can't have the song stuck in my head while sitting still. It's literally impossible.
This is when she just got the wrong number and some poor lad is staring at his ceiling as he tries to sleep to the sound of his phone ringing constantly
*2050* As the years went by... Tears just kept on flowig! But back in the roaring 2020s Every thing was just... *SWEEL* Edit from 2023: I'd like to formally apologize
Okay I know this will sound so stupid but I'm going to say it anyways So, this morning, I go to school and I think I was a bit too early so I go to sleep Yeah no amazing things am I right? So in the dream, I met Frances. From what I remember, I asked her why she hated Henry and Nancy. And in the dream, she says She actually didn't hate Henry. It's just the fact Henry looks like Junior, make her blood boil and hate on Henry .and about Nancy, she worried if one day Henry follow his dad's footsteps means leaving Nancy And from what I remember again, she actually trying her best to become a great mother and mother in law. But ends up failed And there's actually more she told it's just I couldn't remember. This also could be a theory why Frances hate henry so much-
hello to the Tubed You
it's 1am on a saturday morning and i'm gonna talk about communications hopefully for the last time because in the past i didn't do a very good job of keeping my previous talks about it in a Conveniently Accessible All Compiled In One Place, and because of that some people heard what i had to say and some missed :( i don't want people to miss out so i hope this is a good place to put this!
if you don't know what communications was, i'll try to nutshell explain it real quick: it was a song series i started back in early 2016 and cancelled in mid-2017. it's comprised of rotary dial, black&white, housewife radio and broadcast illusion (in that order), and while colorbars is *technically* related, it wasn't an official part of the series (tl;dr i was gonna use colorbars, didn't like the song though, so i made a new song that basically tells the same story). while small summaries of what each song specifically covered were in the original descriptions, a majority of the story was kept pretty much contained to my now-deleted tumblr account and pretty much only the people who paid attention to that blog knew the most about the story. i talked a lot about what i planned on doing, a majority of which didn't get put into a song before i cancelled the project.
personally, i don't want to re-tell the story (both the stuff that was in video descriptions, stuff that was only on tumblr, and stuff i never talked about publicly). i know doing so would clear up any misunderstandings/contradicting info and give context to what i'm talking about, but i'd still rather not. a LOT of other people and i have had a lot of valid criticisms against communications, and while i know there's some nuance concerning liking something you acknowledge objectively bad/problematic, i personally don't wanna be the one to introduce more people to the series since i currently have....... over twice as many subscribers as i had when i cancelled it, i think? i can't remember how many i had back then but it was definitely under 100k. that's just my personal preference and i hope you can understand!
so here's where i fucked up: my plans for communications started out as a three-song, really shallow story. i didn't have much of anything in mind for it other than a "this happens and then this happens" sorta story, but as more people showed deeper interest in the story and asked questions about it, i started fleshing things out more. it quickly turned into what i planned to be a 12-song series, broken into four separate stories called cases. now, what i did was make the mistake of not thinking at all before i did any of this. i improvised answers to questions without really thinking about how it connected to the story, i didn't give an ounce of thought into how each aspect of the story would reflect on each other, i didn't try to predict what sorts of meanings people could draw from the series (i know that anyone can come up with any interpretation of my stories they want and that's kinda out of my control, but to an extent i do want to make sure my stories couldn't *easily* be interpreted as something harmful or offensive), just like....... i mean it literally when i say communications was entirely improvised. and improvisation isn't inherently bad, don't get me wrong! but you really need to know what you're doing when you improvise, and unfortunately "knowing what i was doing" and "18 year-old me" were on COMPLETELY opposite ends of the globe
we ended up with a story and characters that hardly made any sense, some characters' developments were flatter than some people think the earth is, and in more aspects than one were insensitive as hell towards even my own experiences. for context, i base a majority of my songs/stories/characters off my own personal experiences. they're not all self-insert levels of similarities, but if you really think about it you'll notice like 80% of my ocs have abandonment issues and are too emotional for their own good. for just one example out of many others.
nancy was a character with abandonment issues, henry was a character who had been abused by his mother frances since childhood, and kennith was a character who faced abuse from his peers and emotional neglect from his parents. except 18 y/o me thought there wasn't gonna be any issues with having nancy kill someone because of her issues, having henry come out relatively un-traumatized, and not talk publicly nearly enough about how kennith's experiences impacted him in adulthood.
while it's true that mentally ill people and abuse survivors can do bad things or be bad people, there's a difference between realistic portrayals and over-represented stigmas. mentally ill people aren't violent, and in reality are much more likely to face violence than commit it themselves, yet the "scary, dangerous mentally ill person" seems to be the majority of the representation we get. emotional abuse is often taken way less seriously than it should be due to there not being any physically visible scars. and lastly, if i say a character is something (especially something under-represented), i should actually show it!
i've heard the argument "but fiction doesn't affect reality that much" over and over again, and i personally disagree? there's plenty of examples of fiction affecting reality - take for example what jaws did to sharks, or a bit closer to this topic, how movies like "psycho" and "split" affected the public's perception of people with dissociative identity disorder. even outside of fiction impacting society, it's just my own personal preference to avoid stigmatic portrayals of mental illness in my songs and stories and i hope that can be respected regardless of your opinion on this particular criticism.
even though the characters in communications stemmed from my own experiences with mental illness, abuse, and neglect, that doesn't mean i could just do whatever the hell i wanted without giving it much thought. i'm still responsible for how i portray my experiences! i genuinely am sorry to anyone who was hurt by how these characters were handled, you guys deserved a lot better.
since working on communications i've learned a lot about myself that's changed the way i view my experiences, and for the past couple years i've been heavily focusing on doing everything i can think of to avoid repeating communications. i had planned a remake of communications to improve all its flaws, but in the end i felt a total loss of enjoyment towards the series because i just wanna move on and do better (which is why i finally cancelled the series). as much as i wish i could turn communications into something that isn't so.......... Yikes, i don't see myself working on the story again and actually being happy while doing so. that's really the best way i can explain why i won't be revisiting the story. i hope i can show i've learned from the whole experience through my future story projects.
this also brings up a side-topic specifically regarding communications' cancellation - i want to say that that decision was in no way anyone's fault but my own. at the time i had expressed feeling pressured when fans would ask "when is the next part coming out?" and "why haven't you uploaded a new part yet?". i can't remember exactly what i said, but i said something along the lines of implying that i might cancel the series if people continued pressuring me to finish it faster. though this wasn't meant as a threat and more of a "i don't perform well under pressure" statement, i totally understand why people would assume it was meant as a threat and why that would be really hurtful (especially considering people were asking those questions out of curiosity, not with the intent to pressure me to work faster). i'm really sorry for having said that, that wasn't ok and i should've handled expressing my concerns with more empathy. i wanna make sure it's clear that the final decision to cancel communications wasn't the public's fault at all - just my own loss of interest in the project.
i think.............. that's about it. i'll come back and edit this post if i think of anything else to add.

I know you didn't write the lyrics for Candle Queen, but I feel like there were more issues with that song.
@Ben Kaw i did apologize on behalf of lauren shortly after the song's release, but since then i've heard a bunch of different opinions on whether candle queen demonized people with hpd or not from people with hpd themselves - because i myself don't have hpd i don't feel like it's my place to decide which side is right if that makes sense? i don't wanna avoid responsibility but i also don't want to look at people with hpd who have differing opinions and just. pick which people are right and which ones aren't when i don't even have it myself
@@ghostandpals I'm sure I'm missing a lot of context. Did the person who wrote the lyrics have HPD?

Me: **Finally realizes COLORBARS, Broadcast Illusion, Rotary Dial, and Housewife Radio are all connected**
HOLY SHI-
I honestly have no clue how Broadcast illusions/colorbars fits into the other 3 songs tho @.@
I thought colorbars + broadcast illusion were connected to the other two because they were broadcasting a signal (one that, spoilers for the other 2, made the woman in Housewife Radio kill her husband and think he was speaking to her through the radio, and the woman in Rotary Dial obsess over someone over the phone). Probably wrong tho
@MashiroSato they are in a way. they were all apart of the same song series called communications, which was sadly cancelled. Rotary Dial, Black & White, and Housewife Radio are Case 1, and Colorbars and Broadcast Illusion are Case 2
Wait till you hear about black & white lol
It took me way too long tom relise that aswell.Now I just really want to know the story that was supposed to be there, it looks so intresting and incomplete, I dream about it cause phycologyu stuff, you can leave something unfinshed and not think about it.
Something that I found interesting: from 2:07 the font used in Housewife Radio starts to pop up as well as appearing in various places near the end ("IT'S DRIVING ME MAD" 4:30, and any use of "Stich, Sew, Cut," not to mention that the colour sequence for Stich, Sew, etc. is BLUE, GREEN, YELLOW and RED (where do we see that again???), like i said tho, just some symbolism that i found really cool ^^
yea the 2 songs are related as this girl's son is the dead husband of the girl from Housewife Radio ^^
true, but it's cool that the points in the story of when Nancy comes along in the song are represented by the font changes
i heard the song "Black and White" first, then 'Housewife Radio", and then this song (i listened to them backwards I guess) and every time the song before that sounds like another song I was like *n o n i*
GHOST actually had stories on this song, black & white, housewife radio, and broadcast illusion, idk why she got rid of em tho

1st Chorus - 43rd call
30 Year Jump
2nd Chorus - 87th call (3:10)
3rd Chorus - 110th call (4:27)
This means, in the 30 years between the first two choruses, she made 44 calls. That's just under 1 and a half calls a year.
But between the 2nd and 3rd choruses, there is no time jump, so we have to assume that the length of time is just the time between the choruses (which is why I included those timestamps). So, this tracks that she made 23 calls in 1:17. This means she was making roughly a call EVERY 3 SECONDS.
She really ramped it up at the end there.

@@masterfulmoonlighter5402 basically, a lonely mother repeatedly calls her son throughout the day every day for years, telling him to stay at home with her, that she wants him to die, and other crazy ramblings. This takes place in the 1920s and 1950s.
It is also part one of a discontinued series called "communications". Part 2 is "black & white", part three is "housewife radio".
I like the bits that aren't dancing:
People partying without care, a woman calling to someone from her home, a couple kissing, someone falling off a cliff, etc. Kinda aids in telling the story.

(Now, hey, now)
For you, for you
Nevermore, forevermore
Love is nothing but a waste
Join hands in a beautiful marriage
It's driving me mad!
I can tell you this
(Oh!)
Life is just a-ticking away
(Now, hey, now)
For you, for you
Threaded cords and sewing words
Say "I do" and end the world
Baby, now, for the 87th time
It's driving me mad!
Call me, call me, baby
Check me on the cheek and all night I'll wait for your reply
Now listen listen listen here, I can't wait for you to die
I'd look you in the eyes but they're closed
You don't seem to understand
All's just copacetic
Hah hah
Hah hah
Hah hah
Hah hah
Number after number after cry after cry
I'm a little dizzy but it's all gonna end
Why, all the ones that I love have hung up the telephone
Time after time after time after time after
Time and time again again I'll only speak to you
And maybe you should give me back the love I gave to you
I've given up on any kind of hope that's left for me
The wires on the telephone are tangled around me
I can tell you this:
(Oh!)
Time is just a-ticking away
(Now, hey, now)
For you
For you
Ignoring my demise
After dark and after I've called you for the 110th time
It's driving me mad!

THE LYRICS ARE ON THE SCREEEN
some people(like me) can't read the font
@@hunnydayzzxxx6610 Maybe the lyrics are too fast or maybe the font is hard to read, dude.
lyric sheets are useful.
At the end there is actually it's driving me mad which is not on the screen so it was surprisingly useful.

My grandmother is now in a nursing home and she will, every time she runs out of it, call my mom literally hundreds of times and get angry and beg her to bring Diet Dr.Pepper. So every week or two we have to drive 30 miles to another town to bring her a big box of Diet Dr.Pepper to get her to stop calling.
I Think I Understand This Song In A New Light Now.
What a wonderful mother...

I mean, I hate to ruin the mood. But the 20's weren't swell, pretty much everyone had polio.

I love the 20s but for farmers and small business owners the depression came early.

Stitch sew cut ties- Henry cutting ties with his mother

Alex this song is the first song in ghost's series, communications. The series is really good! The songs in it are rotary dial, black and white, housewife radio, colorbars, and broadcast illusion.

Thanks for re-enabling comments! You're definitely my favourite Vocaloid creator and I was sad that I couldn't tell you how much I love your videos and songs
2:45 literally triggers my anxiety but for some reason I keep listening
Frances: Henry! You finally called me back!
Nancy: …Oh. So about that-
all the people in the background are long dead assuming it’s real footage from the 20’s that’s scary to think about….
fitting tho

This song actually puts me in a trance where I have to get up and dance to it
I can't have the song stuck in my head while sitting still. It's literally impossible.
1:36 I always wait for this part
This is when she just got the wrong number and some poor lad is staring at his ceiling as he tries to sleep to the sound of his phone ringing constantly
This made me laugh so hard

I can't be the only one who's listening to these songs to try and put together the story of this song series. It's just to good.
If you look up COMMUNICATIONS online you should find it on the Vocaloid wiki!
Thx
kinda obsessed with the clip of the guy just. falling down in time with the song
lol
despite the fact that this song is very much 1920s themed, any of my elderly relatives which i show it to tend to spontaneously combust.
time was just ticking away now (hey, now) for them (for them)

Frances: I can’t wait for you to die
Nancy: Wish granted

i just love how each of these collection of songs tie into eachother and references some lines from the others
I mean it was originally made to be part of a series, so..
rotary dial mother: manipulates child
Henry: runs away
Nancy: stabby stabby

god almighty I have listened to this since September and atleast listen to it like 12 times a day
The syncopated laughter from this song has lived, _rent-free_ in my head for the past five years and it's driving me mad
*"it's driving mad"*
Diana sounds so good here, I can’t believe it took me so long to find another really good ghost song
2:07 my fav part 😁
1:35 anyone gonna talk about the dead body?
he's not dead (i guess)
3:15 *check me on the chicken*
Okay I know this will sound so stupid but I'm going to say it anyways
So, this morning, I go to school and I think I was a bit too early so I go to sleep
Yeah no amazing things am I right?
So in the dream, I met Frances. From what I remember, I asked her why she hated Henry and Nancy. And in the dream, she says She actually didn't hate Henry. It's just the fact Henry looks like Junior, make her blood boil and hate on Henry .and about Nancy, she worried if one day Henry follow his dad's footsteps means leaving Nancy
And from what I remember again, she actually trying her best to become a great mother and mother in law. But ends up failed
And there's actually more she told it's just I couldn't remember.
This also could be a theory why Frances hate henry so much-
