Shady Cicada Yeah memory foam pillows are the best. Also fun fact I was actually sick when I first listened to this cover. So it did feel like a *fever dream.*
probably my favorite type of shady song is when i can't really tell how everything is going to come together until the very end. then i end up surprised by how everything DOES successfully come together and pulls off exactly the feel that the song's going for! this is a really solid jam and i think the heavier feel puts a very interesting twist on the genre that's also really distinctly your own. super distinct, super impressive, pretty surprising to me that you put this together in only a handful of hours because i never would've been able to tell if you hadn't said it.
Love this description! The kind words are always appreciated. I'm glad you enjoyed it, man. I have no idea where the inspiration came from. Sometimes being absolutely tired gives me a clearer mind to focus on a single emotion/feeling with no distractions.
Is this the Shady Cicada anime Season 3? Season 1 was We’re All Gonna Be Stars, Season 2 was Second Chance. So is this Season 3 or just a separate thing?
Second Chance is retconned (I can't believe what I'm saying). It's considered more of an Outro now (perhaps an outro to this song). So "Fever Dream" is season 2. Season 3 is already fully written out. Just waiting for the right time :)
Shady Cicada Urk- *Clutches heart* W-why...would you... *Dies* Just kidding. Let me go check out the other anime intros/outros (specifically the Second Chance comment section) to figure out the continuity now-
Hey man, really hope you read this; Been playing guitar for 7 years but stopped 18 months ago with work and I lost a lot of motivation. But your youtube channel has motivated me to start writing again, I'll never be amazing, but writing anything as good as this would make me so happy. Thank you for the funny laid back tutorials sir. I wish you the best of luck
Ouran Highschool Hostclub, anyone?......no, just me? Okay then I need someone to make an intro for this, with the waifu starting as a villian and then wanting to turn a new leaf after falling in love. Another awesome song, mah dude!!! Nice to see you performing again :D I know you said you don't get bummed out about being alone on V-Day or anything, but just so you know, you're loved by your dear subscribers and patrons all year long. That type of love counts
Great, as always ! I wonder where you find all this inspiration... this is really impressive how you succeed to share the emotion you want us to feel through your songs... keep goin', you are awesome !
Thank you for the kind words! It means a lot. A lot of inspiration tends to come from my own emotions or constant daydreaming these days. I'm glad my music is able to make people feel emotions as well!
Shady for another win!! This sir is my 2nd favorite piece of music from you with #1 being 'acoustic metal' from last Fall, which I watch again and again :). Great job as always.
Can I ship my waifu with the final boss in "Before the World Dies"? No? Okay.... Super awesome stuff though, this is gonna be my writing music for a while! And you've gotta make the prototype for this song come back somewhere one day!
A highlight of my Saturdays! And your exactly right about Valentine's day. Its just another day. It will be two years this valentines day since I havent had one and its no big deal. Just a superficial "holiday"
That "happier" version of the song reminds me hardcore of Sonic Adventure... I dig. Also, MY SHIP WILL SAIL DON'T YOU CRUSH MY DREAMS! CANA/KEG 4 LYFE!
This song feels so nostalgic. In fact, I purchased it and a few other songs. Thanks for making such great instrumentals. These are just what I need. Thank you and keep doing it!
Thanks so much for the support, man! I'm glad you liked them enough to grab em! I appreciate the kind words as well :) I hope you enjoy the future songs to come!
Your weekly video upload is consistently my favorite video every week. It puts a smile on my face every time, without fail. If I wasn't such a broke college kid, I'd donate to your Patreon without a second thought. I'll just have to wait until I graduate, I guess. Keep rocking.
Thanks so much for the kind words, bud! It means a lot that you feel that way about the videos. Don't worry about the Patreon! The views and kind words are more than enough :)
How many times does Shady pass out rather than sleep in the span of a week? Because it really seems like every video ends in him passing out rather than having a decent sleep... 😂
I would do this immediately if I knew how. I can't find any sites that will let me do this (there are sites that provide tab merch, but it's for bigger bands). Once I do, I will definitely let you all know!
Awesome again dude. By the way, you've probably tried messing with this already, but have you tried lowering the aperture on your Rebel? It may also just be the lighting, but turning it down may also decrease some grain in your shots. Just a quick thing to try if you haven't, keep it up!
Thanks a lot, man! Funny enough, I hardly know anything about this camera. I went through the manual maybe once and I didn't retain enough lol. I never even considered what you said, but I will definitely look into it now! Thanks, dude :)
Hello everyone! I know this video is a little old, but, could anyone tell me how to do a slightly dissonant power chord like 2:48? I hear it all the time in openings. Is it just a normal tritone power chord?
And there it is! Song name in the description, yay! :D Thank you! ^^ Awesome piece of art, as always! I'm always amazed how seemingly easy it is for you to write an anime-style song (or jRPG-style). I listen to your music and it really does feel like an anime song, but I don't know what exactly makes the song anime-ish. I mean, you do explain the bits and pieces of the song as a whole, but it still can't figure it out. You have a very good understanding of music :) Just out of curiosity though, did you really NOT get any "business" requests to make music for, like, indie games and such?
Thank you for the kind words, man! It all just comes from practice and listening to all kinds of music I suppose :) I've had some emails here and there for small projects. The issue is that weekly originals on RUclips eat up a lot of my time. It's also one of my main sources of income. At the moment, it's hard to invest time into a project unless it's a sizable one or I put myself ahead of schedule (which I've been working on). We'll see what the future holds :)
Yo thanks for making this stuff man! You’ve made me pull out my guitar that i never learned to play (i still need lessons) but the songs youve done such as “here i come” and “before the world dies” have inspired to try to learn guitar so maybe i can implement it into my own tracks! Anyways thanks for another cool song! Have a nice life! (Also is “protect her smile a reference?” I swore i heard it before 🤔)
That means a lot to hear. I never thought my music would have that kind of effect. I wish you the best on your guitar journey, man! I've heard the "Protect her smile" line everywhere as well. I'm not sure what the source is either lol!
That means a lot to hear! I was actually considering trying to set up performances at cons and other places next year. Not sure how that will go, but it'll definitely be exciting if it works out.
I want to add vocals to these tracks and put em on RUclips and SoundCloud. I want to know if you're good with that. I feel like I could put really good vocals to these tracks.something just for fun and these really inspire me to write my own songs and lyrics!!
Come on bro ! All of that god stuff in only 2 days ? You're a monster Shady, a REAL Monster 😂 seriously, i think you're my favourite guitar songs creator, far away from the legends we all know... What you do is just Amazing and you became an goal point for me, hoping one day i will be able to play and create as you do 😉 carry on doing all your sensational stuff ! \m/ PS : f*ck yeah that's hard to write in english when you are french 😂😂
Thank you so much for the kind words, man :'D It really means a lot to hear such things. You'll get there! Just keep playing and listening! Get out there and find things that inspire you in life. I have an incredibly long way to go myself :) Thank you once again for the great comment!
If I didn't watch anime, I would've never thought of this as romantic. But since I do, this is sounds romantic. And something I've always wanted to ask, what kind of tattoo is that on your hand? I've noticed it since I first started watching you about a year ago, but I thought it was sharpie until recently
It actually is sharpie! I just draw it on every week. I suppose now I can do it where it looks nearly identical every week. He's my little mascot currently named "Balloon Guy". He's just a blobby chill thing I used to draw back in high school.

*2:38*
Your waifu is the villain
*R.I.P*
StrangerOnRUclips_978 • lmao I could see something like that in an actual intro
Sooooo... Yandere?
Future Diary.
Fire Emblem? Maybe?
Guilty Crown???
You always disclaim not to take these seriously, but your how-to videos are actually big helps for me tbh
It also help me find my sister
When you make your game, can you have one of the character's signature lines be "Reel 'em in with that harmony!"?
Lmao true tho on the signature line...
Holy crap, yes.
Not a bad idea! :) Either that or there can be a variety of "Reel em' in with ___" lines
Is the main character a fisherman or something?
He uses a rod as his main weapon
The original version actually sounds really good too. I'd love to hear a full version of that eventually!
I'll definitely give it a shot sometime!
Hopefully sometime this year? Lmao
This was god damn beautiful
Thanks a bunch, Nik! Always means a lot, man :)
Eh... Season 1 had a better OP
Also, "Go buy a brownie or something" is quality advice
Go buy a brownie or something
-Shady Cicada 2018 (Best Advice Ever)
This theme song is so good it made me start writing an anime for it.
Someday when I complete my dream and become millionarie I will create an anime and ask for you to make the ost
This seems like one of those themes you can *KISS KISS FALL IN LOVE* with.
Oh yeah, and Happy (Early) Valentine’s Day
WAIT WAS THAT A BODY PILLOW AT THE END?
That anime was eh...
Not a body pillow. But it is a thicc memory foam pillow that gives off a cooling sensation. Kind of the best pillow ever.
Shady Cicada Yeah memory foam pillows are the best.
Also fun fact I was actually sick when I first listened to this cover. So it did feel like a *fever dream.*
probably my favorite type of shady song is when i can't really tell how everything is going to come together until the very end. then i end up surprised by how everything DOES successfully come together and pulls off exactly the feel that the song's going for! this is a really solid jam and i think the heavier feel puts a very interesting twist on the genre that's also really distinctly your own. super distinct, super impressive, pretty surprising to me that you put this together in only a handful of hours because i never would've been able to tell if you hadn't said it.

Cicada senpai is only senpai
Waffles in a Bowl his glasses make him look smexy :P lol
Is this the Shady Cicada anime Season 3? Season 1 was We’re All Gonna Be Stars, Season 2 was Second Chance. So is this Season 3 or just a separate thing?
Second Chance is retconned (I can't believe what I'm saying). It's considered more of an Outro now (perhaps an outro to this song). So "Fever Dream" is season 2. Season 3 is already fully written out. Just waiting for the right time :)
I’m pretty sure this was an OVA.
Shady Cicada. So that would mean " Feelin Fine" would be the outro of season 1?
Shady Cicada Urk-
*Clutches heart*
W-why...would you...
*Dies*
Just kidding. Let me go check out the other anime intros/outros (specifically the Second Chance comment section) to figure out the continuity now-
Gilbert Beilschmidt
I feel like this would be season 2 finale and season 3 preview?
Now add clean vocals with some shouting and you have an escape the fate song :3
Pradich YES THATS EXACTLY WHAT I FUCKING THOUGHT
I was actually thinking of getting a vocalist on this one :)
Ronnie Radke XD
Craig Mabbitt
Or also a bullet for my valentine song
"This is where the TV version would end" that kiled me
"This is where TV version would end"
Brilliant, Shady. Brilliant
Hey man, really hope you read this;
Been playing guitar for 7 years but stopped 18 months ago with work and I lost a lot of motivation.
But your youtube channel has motivated me to start writing again, I'll never be amazing, but writing anything as good as this would make me so happy.
Thank you for the funny laid back tutorials sir. I wish you the best of luck
Ouran Highschool Hostclub, anyone?......no, just me? Okay then
I need someone to make an intro for this, with the waifu starting as a villian and then wanting to turn a new leaf after falling in love. Another awesome song, mah dude!!! Nice to see you performing again :D I know you said you don't get bummed out about being alone on V-Day or anything, but just so you know, you're loved by your dear subscribers and patrons all year long. That type of love counts
How the final season of Nisekoi’s OP would’ve been. Quality man.
Holy shit dude. I don't have a pun today, but I can say this might be one of my new favorites. Good fucking job my dude!
Those little note bends like at 2:25 are awesome.
0:00 I had no idea Ka Ka Kachi Daze (UI Goku theme song) could be so romantic
Ultra Instinct can also dodge social awkwardness and dish out mad pick-up lines
Shady Cicada That is true. No Tsundere stands a chance against it XD
LMAO
REEL EM IN WITH THAT HARMONY!
This is the best guitar channel on RUclips, period
"just buy a brownie or something, i dunno"
well i know what my boyfriend is getting for valentine's
I can already imagine the scene in that opening looooll xD this is so great
WHY IS THIS ACTUALLY GOOD
I love it! I’m all about the "protect waifu" or "protect husbando" songs. This was great!
Glad you enjoyed it!
You inspired me to mess around and make my own music! I can't play the guitar, but the piano is my best friend~!
seriously, i love all your anime songs. i hope there will be japanese cover song, haha. keep it up.
I've watched this video so many times in the past years, but NEVER have I seen the ending part. That was super cool to somehow finally discover!
YES! finally something romantic.
I've been waiting for this, thanks man :).
I love the slow ambient vibe in the beginning...we need to see (or hear) more of that
I sense Ultra Instinct power on the first seconds
Dude your music is always awesome to listen to while drawing . Do you think you could make like a psycho theme or something frantic?
Thanks a lot, bud! I can definitely give it a shot in the future!
Great, as always ! I wonder where you find all this inspiration... this is really impressive how you succeed to share the emotion you want us to feel through your songs... keep goin', you are awesome !
Thank you for the kind words! It means a lot. A lot of inspiration tends to come from my own emotions or constant daydreaming these days. I'm glad my music is able to make people feel emotions as well!
This is the best song you've made
Man this turned out great! :D I still can't believe you made this in one day!
Thanks a lot, Gab! It was definitely an experience lol :'D
Shady for another win!! This sir is my 2nd favorite piece of music from you with #1 being 'acoustic metal' from last Fall, which I watch again and again :). Great job as always.
Oh damn! Glad you enjoyed it that much, man! It means a lot, seeing as it's one of my favorites as well now :) Thank you!
I can actually see the story unfold lmao great work as always
Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed it.
Shady Cicada senpai noticed me fuck yeah
Can I ship my waifu with the final boss in "Before the World Dies"? No? Okay....
Super awesome stuff though, this is gonna be my writing music for a while! And you've gotta make the prototype for this song come back somewhere one day!
"Like your ship will never be real" this hurts lol
Amazing as always, it reminds me lot of Host Club's ED, so it must be accurate 👌🏻
Best advice of the valentines
you get the anime formula like jazz II v I or I IV V and anime use ? please i love this genre i wanna know your conclusion c:
Still some how manages to sound like a final boss theme. Great song btw
ah man, I can already hear naruto calling out to sasuke, great work on this arrangement
This comment wins, hands down. Everybody else can go home now.
Now here is a man with some real talent
Alright, you got another subscriber from Spotify mate. Good job, keep it up!
This thing sounds just like Shissou from Ouran Host Club or like Strawberry Panic... You nailed it!
The "Clean Verse" made me become emotionally unstable. 11/10. Still crying.
Damn perhaps my favorite yet! Shady keep grinding we love it 🤘
Glad you enjoyed it, man! I will definitely keep doing my best!
A highlight of my Saturdays! And your exactly right about Valentine's day. Its just another day. It will be two years this valentines day since I havent had one and its no big deal. Just a superficial "holiday"
What a sick outro to the video
this guy deserves definetly more subs !
That "happier" version of the song reminds me hardcore of Sonic Adventure... I dig.
Also, MY SHIP WILL SAIL DON'T YOU CRUSH MY DREAMS! CANA/KEG 4 LYFE!
Thats just the song for Valentine's I wanna listen to when giving someone some flowers
This is amazing man! Your videos are why Saturdays are awesome!
Thanks a lot, man! The kind words are always appreciated :) I hope you enjoy the Saturday videos to come!
Every time... "reel 'em in with that harmony"
Also you look good with a beard
Also, I like the anime songs... do more...
This song feels so nostalgic. In fact, I purchased it and a few other songs. Thanks for making such great instrumentals. These are just what I need. Thank you and keep doing it!
Thanks so much for the support, man! I'm glad you liked them enough to grab em! I appreciate the kind words as well :) I hope you enjoy the future songs to come!
You deserve more subscribers!
Now Do an anime break-up song with lots of random chromatics
Why was I so late to discover this series? These are so amazing 😭
Great tutorial, i'll be waiting for the next one!
Another great song. Good job Shady!
Thanks a lot, bud!
Yoooooo
Super awesome man!!!
Agreed one of the best so far! Keep it up man!
I'm glad you enjoyed it, bud! I will continue to do my best!
I'm glad you enjoyed it, bud! I will continue to do my best!
you are a boss, dude! Keep up the epic stuff!
A Modern Warfare song, something that delivers a feeling of, "Oh fuck, I could die today" and, "I've got to protect my brothers!"
I can definitely give that a shot!
Reel 'em in with that harmony!
This is epic now I wanna get up and do something important
Your weekly video upload is consistently my favorite video every week. It puts a smile on my face every time, without fail. If I wasn't such a broke college kid, I'd donate to your Patreon without a second thought. I'll just have to wait until I graduate, I guess. Keep rocking.
Thanks so much for the kind words, bud! It means a lot that you feel that way about the videos. Don't worry about the Patreon! The views and kind words are more than enough :)
How many times does Shady pass out rather than sleep in the span of a week? Because it really seems like every video ends in him passing out rather than having a decent sleep... 😂
lol yeah :'D Music/RUclips life has made me a happy but also sleep deprived fellow.
Awesome! How about some Guitar Pro tab merch?
I would do this immediately if I knew how. I can't find any sites that will let me do this (there are sites that provide tab merch, but it's for bigger bands). Once I do, I will definitely let you all know!
5:51 LOL BEST VALENTINES COPING IDEAS XD
right off the bat with ultra instinct again XD
This will be a soundtrack suit for My Hero Academia. :D
Awesome work dude!
My Hero Academia has some of the best music in anime right now IMO! Thank you very much! :D
WOW!! Really cool as always, Great job!
Thanks a lot, man! Much appreciated :)
Awesome again dude.
By the way, you've probably tried messing with this already, but have you tried lowering the aperture on your Rebel? It may also just be the lighting, but turning it down may also decrease some grain in your shots. Just a quick thing to try if you haven't, keep it up!
Thanks a lot, man! Funny enough, I hardly know anything about this camera. I went through the manual maybe once and I didn't retain enough lol. I never even considered what you said, but I will definitely look into it now! Thanks, dude :)
Hello everyone! I know this video is a little old, but, could anyone tell me how to do a slightly dissonant power chord like 2:48? I hear it all the time in openings. Is it just a normal tritone power chord?
oh my god the scrapped version is SO FUCKING GOOD
maybe it could be the outro since there was never a proper "romantic anime" outro theme?
So good! Your talented man!
Thank you! That means a lot to hear :D
And there it is! Song name in the description, yay! :D Thank you! ^^
Awesome piece of art, as always! I'm always amazed how seemingly easy it is for you to write an anime-style song (or jRPG-style). I listen to your music and it really does feel like an anime song, but I don't know what exactly makes the song anime-ish.

Damn, man. This is amazing!
Thanks a lot, bud! Glad you liked it!
Yo thanks for making this stuff man! You’ve made me pull out my guitar that i never learned to play (i still need lessons) but the songs youve done such as “here i come” and “before the world dies” have inspired to try to learn guitar so maybe i can implement it into my own tracks! Anyways thanks for another cool song! Have a nice life! (Also is “protect her smile a reference?” I swore i heard it before 🤔)
That means a lot to hear. I never thought my music would have that kind of effect. I wish you the best on your guitar journey, man! I've heard the "Protect her smile" line everywhere as well. I'm not sure what the source is either lol!
Holy shit you have to release happy fever dream someday
Awesome! You really are the best waifu!
The parenthesis are my best friend.
That nose has seen many trials in life. We will truly retake Zion soon, my brother.
I think I found my favorite song of the month
Time to protect that smile! 😂
Awesome as always 😂👍
Thank you!
If a Romance anime had an intro like this it would be best opening of the season.
That means a lot to hear. Thank so much, bud!
Amazing as always
Thanks a lot, bud! Glad you liked it!
goddamnit dude how are you so good?
,,Your waifu is the villain" I died
If you performed at a concert, I’d definitely come to watch cause this is dank af.
That means a lot to hear! I was actually considering trying to set up performances at cons and other places next year. Not sure how that will go, but it'll definitely be exciting if it works out.
impressive...this really sounds like something pulled out from an anime
you gave me some new ideas
I want to add vocals to these tracks and put em on RUclips and SoundCloud. I want to know if you're good with that. I feel like I could put really good vocals to these tracks.something just for fun and these really inspire me to write my own songs and lyrics!!
0:02 : Ka Ka Ka Ka Kachi Daze, Gun gun gun gun gun Wo Muki! xD
Damm man i can feel it
Come on bro ! All of that god stuff in only 2 days ? You're a monster Shady, a REAL Monster 😂 seriously, i think you're my favourite guitar songs creator, far away from the legends we all know... What you do is just Amazing and you became an goal point for me, hoping one day i will be able to play and create as you do 😉 carry on doing all your sensational stuff ! \m/
PS : f*ck yeah that's hard to write in english when you are french 😂😂
Thank you so much for the kind words, man :'D It really means a lot to hear such things. You'll get there! Just keep playing and listening! Get out there and find things that inspire you in life. I have an incredibly long way to go myself :) Thank you once again for the great comment!
Hell yeah
If I didn't watch anime, I would've never thought of this as romantic. But since I do, this is sounds romantic.
And something I've always wanted to ask, what kind of tattoo is that on your hand? I've noticed it since I first started watching you about a year ago, but I thought it was sharpie until recently
It actually is sharpie! I just draw it on every week. I suppose now I can do it where it looks nearly identical every week. He's my little mascot currently named "Balloon Guy". He's just a blobby chill thing I used to draw back in high school.
@@Shadycicada I've followed you for a while and I've always adored that little guy, "Balloon Guy" is adorable!
