To live's to climb I learned With that in mind I earned The future I deserved The rooftop of the world So free yet so confined How could I be so blind I left it all behind With one thing in my mind It's said that I, I'm at an all-time high Yet I can't tell you why It all feels wrong Week by week I'm told I'm at my peak My thoughts are OUT OF SYNC As I go on Baby you see, if it was up to me I would have found the key to feel complete Ain't it absurd I'm on top of the world Yet one step's all it takes to hit the dirt I'm so close to the sky Yet barely getting by Nothing money can buy CAN FILL THE VOID INSIDE Can't deny When you are up this high The view's so BEAUTIFUL That it could kill STILL I FEAR That now it's CRYSTAL CLEAR The only way from here Is all downhill Baby you see, it's just not up to me I would do anything to feel complete Ain't it absurd I'm on top of the world And one step's all it takes to hit the dirt THEREFORE I Look down and see, IT'S ALL NOW UP TO ME One step and I can be truly complete Although absurd, ON THE TOP OF THE WORLD All I could focus on was how to fall Finally free, all that remains of me Is the reality, "what used to be" No way around, I'm almost halfway down And once the music stops I'll hit the ground
The beat of the song as such a nostalgic feel to it for some reason and I love it. I think it’s because it makes me think back to video game soundtracks I listened to as a kid. Absolutely love this.
this is amazing for a first song, i LOVE the energies! the melody/riff is catchy as hell, the lyrics are solid, the tuning is too. this is a pretty haunting song i'll definitely be keeping around if i could provide a small bit of constructive criticism, the mixing does seem to be a bit off. solaria gets unexpectedly quiet and hard to differentiate from the music, so some lines don't hit as hard as they could. it was hard to find a spot where i could have the full effect of blasting this right into my eardrums without the music being too loud! aside from that, this was wonderful work :]
yooo this slaps! I think some of the mixing is off- you can hear some audio artifacts at points, the weird crackling especially present in the baseline is pretty emblematic of this. More generally, Solaria should be a good bit louder than the music, so I would turn the music down and her up. There's also some smaller things I think could be nice if changed up a little- say, the *CAN FILL THE VOID INSIDE* line would probably hit harder if it was quicker, and disrupted the flow of the song just a little to change to its vibes, maybe even a little different cadence. (also, listening to it now, the "I'm on top of the world" line gets weirdly quiet every time I hear it?) that being said, the lyrics are really good- they flow well and have good rhythm, and they don't fall into the usual trap of having too many words thrown in like you're hitting the word limit on an essay just to fill the required syllables. there's also not too many small things- the, is, and, etc- that are thrown in for grammar, which is good, as songs don't need to be grammatically correct ofc. I love the instruments used- they remind me of the EBF ost, specifically 4 but somewhat 5. I can hear a lot of good influences from the vocaloid community as a whole! particularly the whole setup of the song, the way it progresses reminds me a lot of the most beloved GHOST songs, in a very, very good way. keep it up!
This is so good! The beat slaps. Just one thing, I noticed Solaria sounds sort of muffled and the music feels like it's slightly or verging on overpowering her. Also, the cuts at 2:10 and 2:42 feels... awkward and strange with the suddenness. However, I never would've guessed that this is your first song project. This has honestly become one of my top favourite songs, looking forward to see what you do next :)
As others have said, great for a first song. Some weird problems with aesthetics for an unclear reason? Like half of the windows being cut out, and a green line, that is there for no real reason and only takes away from the style? I assume that's a Photoshop skills problem. Tbh i also kind of expected a sick drop at the end. Would've added to this piece as a whole. I would like to stress that i liked it overall.

To live's to climb I learned
With that in mind I earned
The future I deserved
The rooftop of the world
So free yet so confined
How could I be so blind
I left it all behind
With one thing in my mind
It's said that I,
I'm at an all-time high
Yet I can't tell you why
It all feels wrong
Week by week
I'm told I'm at my peak
My thoughts are OUT OF SYNC
As I go on
Baby you see, if it was up to me
I would have found the key to feel complete
Ain't it absurd I'm on top of the world
Yet one step's all it takes to hit the dirt
I'm so close to the sky
Yet barely getting by
Nothing money can buy
CAN FILL THE VOID INSIDE
Can't deny
When you are up this high
The view's so BEAUTIFUL
That it could kill
STILL I FEAR
That now it's CRYSTAL CLEAR
The only way from here
Is all downhill
Baby you see, it's just not up to me
I would do anything to feel complete
Ain't it absurd I'm on top of the world
And one step's all it takes to hit the dirt
THEREFORE I
Look down and see, IT'S ALL NOW UP TO ME
One step and I can be truly complete
Although absurd, ON THE TOP OF THE WORLD
All I could focus on was how to fall
Finally free, all that remains of me
Is the reality, "what used to be"
No way around, I'm almost halfway down
And once the music stops I'll hit the ground
Thanks for the lyrics!
This is really underrated ! I love it !

Oh wow, this is stunning! Wouldn’t have believed this was your first song if you hadn’t said so, it’s remarkably good.
Just a minute in and see this song has great potential. Totally deserves more views.

This is great! I'd never heard of Solaria before this point. I like how you drew her.
Edit: Forgot the r in heard
if you liked this song you should listen to Aura by GHOST, Solaria is used for that song, too.
THIS IS SO GOOD WHAT
I love how tight this beat is
pusi tight

The artstyle reminds me a lot of franbow! I also love the bgm and how you tuned Solaria
Really cool, this deserves more views :) Hope you'll make more!
The people in those buildings probably aren't having fun
Can confirm, I’m in the building.
XD
this song is amazing! I want to make a cover of this but I don't have the off vocals...
