Toga's song gets a revamp!!! Since the song was released more than a year before the record, I wanted to revisit it so the newer version would fit better sonically with the album. That, and I wanted it to be creepier! I've never had so much fun laughing in my entire life!
The song is amazing
“Revamp” love what you did there🧛🏻♀️❤️🖤
it wouldve been so funny if her laugh made her cough in the end 😭😭
those laughs gave me chills
@@ChloeHellaPrice dabi what do you think on your song "brother"?
I can't tell which version i like better! The first recording was unhinged passionate while this version is stalkery passionate. They are such different vibes but both work so well with this song
Wait really? Because for me it's the other way around where the first version is more stalkery and subtle while this one is unhinged and her embracing madness especially with the background laughter growing from the last pre-chorus to the song's end. Both versions are absolute gems in their own unique ways so I really can't choose one over the other!
@@twentyonetortas5921 yeah same
I like this one best
Never heard the original but this version makes me think it's her journey from being a stalker to completely unhinged at the end.
Same
i love the jazzy undertones so much- honestly the talent is unbelievable
I was rlly speechless of how flawless at the end it was SOO good!!✨✨✨
"Cause my insides are red, and yours are too." True. I mean *LITERALLY TRUE*
That rhymes:0
Fr
wait yall's insides are red?
@QuinnOnPawsWhy would their insides be red?
@@s1gullblood that's why?
the whispering harmonies in the pre-chorus and chorus then bridge. the slight swing, the slow build in each verse, god this is so gorgeous and so genius and so perfect for toga
It does fit perfectly for toga...
red... redd... reddd. REDDDD
You can't forget that slow, almost lascivious guitar solo before the big finish
It does
It’s so damn perfect
This takes girl in red to a different level
I can't-That's perfect 😂
Lol 🤣
oof
Honestly, if you took her violent side out of the picture, she would actually be a great partner. Honest, cute, good singer, funny, what else could you ask for?
I dunno, she's pretty obsessive even without the fact that she's a monster. Otherwise, I kinda see your point.
@@Phoenixqueen77 and that's a problem?
obviously?
kind of a hard thing to overlook lol
@@Phoenixqueen77 I- uh, at least you know they’re loyal? The major side effect I can think of is you probably can’t get rid of them until they find someone else and I feel like you would be both relieved and insulted.
I ADORE both versions of this song!
The first version was incredibly unhinged; someone who was truly deranged and the music showed that as well with the loudness to it.
This version, however, while showing similar aspects, is more tone downed which somehow makes it more creepy. You hear how unhinged the singer is, but it’s almost as if the music is trying to hide it with its more calm nature. And it’s not until the end where the manic laugh comes in, when the music is quiet, where you see how the singer is in fact crazy as hell.
A little difficult to explain my thought process, but hope I got my point across. Wonderful song, Madds, everyone who worked on it did so beautifully!
Basically, the second is more subtle at first before going a whole 180 and showing its “true colours”.
Am I close?
Both version gives me the chills
this "toga" person seems like a peaceful person
update: she has a knife please help me
Toga is the complete opposite from peaceful lmao
She would be singing this, yes.
I'm good bro thx
HELP
Toga is the best person
Love this song. Also immediately made me think of the show Hannibal, which is another plus bc the vibes in that show were impeccable
AHH SAME OMFG I FOUND SOMEONE WOTH THE SAME IDEAS
You mean the gay flirting between the guy with a wife?
@@HeidiLeonAnimations neither Will or Hannibal are married (I mean ig Hannibal is but that was just to hide his identity cause three detectives witnessed him attemp to murder Abigail)
@@gayclown69 I- i googled it one time and it said will was
@@HeidiLeonAnimations LMAO WHAT
Toga being beaten by her parents for how she smiles and how her smile looks really makes me feel mad at the way the system has failed her. It's obvious that she was abused and mistreated and people treat people so badly for their quirks and there's no system to actually handle that kind of thing. There needs to be something to deal with the parents who don't like how their kids come out. Or that they don't like how their quirks are. Toga is a victim of child abuse.
Her smile is normal I think
@@saltyseadog4719 It is normal, her parents were abusing her and abused her most of her life. And the system did nothing. And when she fought back and finally snapped under pressure and started killing people the system saw her as a villain. Because villains are people who break under pressure. This anime has a lot of that where the characters abused and finally fights back and they are portrayed as the bad guy. A real hero takes all of the abuse and just keeps on taking more abuse. It's pretty messed up in my opinion that Toga got tortured and later punished and killed like this.
I always seen toga as a representation of pushing down your darkest desires and having no outlet for them and one day snapping
@@Echo-we3qt I see her as having a quirk everyone sees as evil and then they turn her evil with abuse.
Surprised they haven't done more to contrast her with Todoroki now that you put it like that...
Not a MHA fan but DAMN does this song slap!
Same, it is now one of my favorite songs
Samee
@@ambersimon9659fr same

this version is SO expressive i am absolutely in love
2:38 The BEST part about this remake, is not only because it’s better in general, but also this sick ass guitar solo! I NEED an instrumental version of this song!!!
The author urge to blast this in my headphones in a coffee shop while I write my characters into the worst versions of themselves 😍
That actually sounds exquisite. I’m gonna do that tomorrow over my tall sweet cream cold brew from Starbucks. (Great drink you should try it.)
so how did it go?
4 pumps of vanilla flavor into heavy cream, then put it into a blender for 20 seconds to froth it, and you can make the sweet cream at home.
I used to work at starbucks and we had to make the sweet cream and whipped cream every night. Whipped cream is the same recipe but you gotta put it in a whip cream canister that can have a condensed air capsule attached to it.
Unusual
They say strange fascination, infatuation
A lunatic
Call me what suits your taste, I just wanna taste
And I've always heard it's what's inside that counts
Cause my insides are red
And yours are too
And the red on my face
Is matching you
And goodness you're bleeding
What a wonderful feeling
You're down and you're pleading
My head is just reeling
The Red means I love you
Tasting your blood means I love you
The Red means I love you
The Red means I love you
Unfortunate
They say such a shame, I turned out this way
A maniac
Well, yeah I get manic when I cause a panic
And of course I'm excited when I see you around
Cause my insides are red
And yours are too
And the red on my face
Is matching you
And goodness you're bleeding
What a wonderful feeling
You're down and you're pleading
My head is just reeling
The Red means I love you
Tasting your blood means I love you
The Red means I love you
The Red means I love you
You leave me high and dry
A rush comes to my mind
At the drops
Of blood you leave behind
Run as you might, my love will never, ever
Stop
And I've always heard it's what's inside...
Cause my insides are red
And yours are too
And the red on my face
Is matching you
And goodness you're bleeding
What a wonderful feeling
You're down and you're pleading
My head is just reeling
The Red means I love you
Tasting your blood means I love you
The Red means I love you
The Red means I love you
The Red means I love you
Tasting your blood means I love you
The Red means I love you
The Red means I love you
Thank you, HeeHoo.
I believe you missed "and I've always heard it's what's inside..." after "stop", it's at 2:35. Just to let you know :)
@@davidphelan2520 aight, hopefully I fixed it. Thanks for telling for telling me, I totally forgot about that part lol
@@adrianj6795 haha no worries, I think that's all good now :) thanks for doing the lyrics too!
Thank you!!
Took me almost the whole song to hear the laughs but like when I did... wow the talent not only in that but the vocals too
Same here lol, although i think they were only towards the end
@@MelonHere20I believe it started around 3:16
@@eunoiia7213yeah
1:55 YA’LL- I CAN’T ITS SO AMAZING
Correct, wolfstar is superior.
It's my favourite part of the entire song
I normally prefer the originals rather than the revamps but this is a big big step up from the original. Big applause
You don't realize how talented she is until you try to sing her songs and realize the sheer amount of breath control it takes
Absolutely love this, especially the laughter beginning from the final pre-chorus and it growing until the song's very end. It show more of her unhinged state and her embracing madness. Both versions are absolute gems in their own unique ways so I really can't choose one over the other!
oh my goooosh this version is so ggood
the original is already amazing, this version is just so mature and sophisticated aa
i love that the listener can see how you’ve grown as an artist and musician!!
the buildup at the end makes me feel like I’m going slowly insane in a movie, I love it so much 😭
I love the little hearts in the eyes. It's such a small unnecessary detail that just adds so much.
Ok. This is totally my favorite version of this song. The laughing gave it that extra creepy little effect. So awesome!
I love it! Love how all parts make up a chaotic ensemble. It really mirrors the intricacies of an unsound mind from mania
Fr, it 100% fits toga as well! They did a really good job w/ making the song fit with togas personality and mindset,
the laugh at the end is perfect, it gives me chills
This gives me sadistic vibes. I love it
Both versions are so amazing I’m obsessed with this song so it’s nice to hear a second version I can’t tell what one I like better
The original song was amazing enough, but the revamp is somehow even more amazing! It just sounds a little crazier you know, as if like toga was actually singing it to someone. Bravo I say, bravo!
the voice in this sounds so much more unhinged than the spotify version and it really works I love it
Wearing earbuds during 3:20 - 4:21 Is just chilling
(The laughter 😃)
Ikrrrr
Stumbled across this song without knowing it was about Toga, and while listening to the lyrics, I was like "Hey this is a perfect song for Toga!" LOL, I think that just proves how perfect this song is! I love it!
I absolutely love Instruments on this one more but I love the vocals on the original I’d love to see them mixed but all in all both versions are so enjoyable 💖
Saaaame
Pure art. I’ve listened to the album on loop and have all the songs from RUclips recorded so I can listen offline since I don’t have data or Wi-Fi-less streaming apps
My family was extremely concerned when they saw me bopping to this song 😂
I CANT WITH THIS HAND WHEN THEY SAY “the red means I love you~” MY GOD I CANT THE VOCALS THE EVERYTHING 😍😍
pov: your love language is physical touch lol
What..? 😭
Y’all are sleeping on this version both are good but this one is so much more polished 😫
The laugh at the end gave me chills, love this song ❤
I came here looking for the original version and found this gem. I haven't gotten goosebumps from a song in a long while damn
Oh my god this sounds like a song from a musical. Absolutely amazing
BABE WAKE UP! A NEW VERSION OF THE RED MEANS I LOVE YOU JUST DROPPED
OMG I LOVE THIS VERSION! Why? It feels realistic!
It took me listening to this I dont even know how many times to realize the laughing starts before the music stops
This song has no right...being this fucking good. I've listened to it like 10 times in the past hour! Amazing job!!
THE LAUGHING GAVE ME SO MANY CHILLS
I ADORE both versions of this song, I have both of them on my playlist mainly because they give me a different vibe- even tho the lyrics are the same-
this song is literally so relatable
I dont really know about if these ocs have had presence elsewhere of if they're ocs at all or if Madds has put a full story for them somewhere but a gay relationship with the bloody and unhinged song is very good and i needed it
I can't get over her voice in this song😅
I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH ESPECIALLY THE REVAMP!!!
Can I just say that this art is just sooo beautiful
its funny on how this fits the Character Cutthroat too well from him being obsessed with red and blood plus him being crazy in love with Swindler.
the anime im talking about is Akudama Drive and if you watch the series you will soon understand why this song matches Cutthroat.
Ironically, i used this song as inspiration for a character from london with a vampire quirk, so- honestly, 1: great song! 2: thanks for helping me get past art block! 😅😄
THE MANIACAL LAUGHTER!!! 😩😩😩
An ABSOLUTE banger! Gonna be listening to this one on repeat!
I ADORE THIS VERSION OMG!!!
Sameeee
Okay so when I first heard this I didn't know it was for Toga and I messaged my friend (an absolute god damned weeb) that this song was in my recommended with major yandere vibes going on. Long story short my friend recognised the song and now we're both obsessed.
This has been your storytime with the local satan of fruitiness, farewell and goodnight/day whenever you are reading this.
This has such a showtune feel to it, and i'm loving it.
This is absolutely amazing 🤩 . I found your music tonight and it was exactly what I needed!❤️
I've been listening to a few of your songs and I've absolutely loved them, but the drastic vibe check that came with this one hit me with a sledgehammer. I believe I can finally say now, that you're currently solidified as my favorite artist.
I look at this song like a toxic relationship. A relationship that involves abuse and where the two lovers always come back to each other even when they beat and make each other bleed.
I discovered this song. And then I discovered you. Gurl, you can SING! I wanna cover this song.
I def need a 10 hour version of this 😭
Same, bestie.
literal chills
FR
Oh my god. I love the original dearly, but GOD I LOVE THIS SO MUCH MORE??? You nailed the instability so hard! The art looks amazing too.
The guitar in this song is great!!!! what a cool music
Oh my goodness- Thank you RUclips for recommending me this absolute m a s t e r p i e c e of a song!
The vibes are immaculate and your voice is just so gorgeous, no amount of praise in words can express how much I adore this. ^^
all've it is epik, i listen to it like- everyday, on repeat. for hours.
toga's my second favriote character too!
So this song was recommended to me by Spotify and I absolutely loved (and still do) the musical vibes of this song so I put it in my liked songs. I've always visualized Toga singing this song because it matches her so well, and lo and behold, I decided to look up the artist to hear more of her music and I learn that it's literally who I based it on. Friggin wild...
I prefer this version over the original, the slight echo, the slight hint of laughter adds to the atmosphere of slowly being bled to death in a Psychopa- I mean anime fan's basement.
Not to mention the laugh at the end ABSOLUTELY ICONIC.
I've been listening this on Spotify and I love this song sm
Dear God, I was thinking that the song sounded different, then realized she "re-vamp" it for TOGA!!! THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL, THANKS ❤
That laugh still makes me feel a certain way 😩🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️
You're genuinely so talented
I really enjoy this song because it can apply to anything and not just my hero academia. Really amazing work.
this song made history! and many memories for me, along with it.. I adore you and your talent.
I'm back! this song is still so nice! ❤️🩹
I was listening to the new Hazbin Hotel songs and this song came third in the random playlist and at first since it wasn't what I was originally listening to I almost skipped it but then I waited a few more seconds and started liking the voice of the singer so I let play and ended up enjoying the song
This is amazing!!
I’m obsessed with this song! ❤ thank you for this amazing music!
While I prefer the old one, this turned out great, actually one of the better things I've listened to recently
Absolutely love this song!!!!
✨❤️🩸✨
Me:What dose the red mean?
The song: THE RED MEANS I LOVE YOU
I clean and work most days and I listen to this song while I do so it calms me and lets me get more done, I know you may never read this but thank you for this song
My favorite music artist madds buckley ❤❤
