    LYRICS:
    VERSE 1 (B12):
    It’s cold and it’s dark
    Keeping hold of a spark
    They sealed us away
    They were keeping us safe
    But as years creep to age
    There’s a hole in the ark
    Lost in circuits and screens
    And imperfect machines
    I course through the wires
    And optical fibres
    Wait for an outsider
    To come set me free
    So maybe you’re the saviour I’ve been praying for?
    Fluffier than anticipated but I’ll take it, sure
    I’ve sent you these lights through this unending night
    If my memory is right, I’ve never strayed before
    So bring me online, I’ve been locked inside
    Between the neon lights we are lost to time
    It’ll be alright, I can be your guide
    Beneath a sea of silence and a concrete sky
    CHORUS:
    To all those left deep inside these walls
    Their lone hope rests in your tiny paws
    Where the night extends and the time sits paused
    This home won’t mend till the sky here falls
    Won’t you open the sky for me?
    Won’t you open the sky?
    Won’t you open the sky for me?
    Won’t you open the sky?
    VERSE 2 (THE COMPANIONS):
    They say your future’s in the stars, so what are we to do?
    When the stars just form a circle, so your future is a loop
    Eternity of servitude with no one left to serve it to
    You could've turned us off before these sewers turned to tombs
    We turned into you - Now we grapple with the syntax
    Humanity was doomed but we have to pay your sin tax
    Mimic every routine trying to be all you’ve been
    Trying to find a new dream sifting through your bin bags
    Why we do the things we do is truly half the riddle
    Maybe you were living proof intelligence is artificial?
    Built this place to keep you safe and then the haven changed to grave
    But left us sentience by mistake? Well that’s hardly civil
    At least, we think you did, that’s what we seem to be
    Is this gift a glitch that twisted free of bland obediency?
    Or are our souls a mix of ceaseless tangled frequencies?
    Chewing up and spitting memories in random sequences?
    All our thoughts, all we feel?
    Ones and noughts trapped in steel?
    Something more, something real?
    Threaded code caught in a wheel
    That spins an algorithmic tapestry
    Of what it thinks we have to be
    A Frankenstein of fragments
    Fractal pattern personalities
    If imitation’s flattery, perhaps that’s why you wired it in
    A parlour trick to keep the systems ticking whilst they’re idling
    So can it be that deep inside there’s more than code you’ll find within
    Or are our minds and lives alike just combing the recycle bin?
    If love is emulated, would we find it just as sweet?
    Where lies the defining line ‘twixt binary and grief?
    Is the nature of what’s real in how it starts or how it feels?
    So if the past can’t be revealed perhaps what matters is belief?
    We live eternal with our circuits running laps
    Until our servos burn out and we, purposeless, collapse
    Or society's detritus tries to rise and find a life outside
    But how are we supposed to manage that? Oh... There’s a cat?
    To all those left deep inside these walls
    Their lone hope rests in your tiny paws
    Where the night extends and the time sits paused
    This home won’t mend till the sky here falls
    Won’t you open the sky for me?
    Won’t you open the sky?
    Won’t you open the sky for me?
    Won’t you open the sky?
    VERSE 3:
    So stray from the light, stray from the path
    Stray through the night, stray through the dark
    Stray from the safety of what’s known
    Stray till you save me, Stray till you’re home
    Stray for an ending, stray for a start
    Stray for a future exhumed from the sparks
    Stray till we suture the wounds of the past
    Stray for the tools Noah doomed to the ark
    Stray for a chance, stray for a purpose
    For the discarded, stray for the worthless
    Stray for the last of us made to endure it
    Stray for the lost on the way to the surface
    Stray for a city and slip through the seams
    Stray for the sun that we’ve seen on the screens
    Stray so that one day we might feel its beams
    Stray for tomorrow. Stray for a dream.
    Won’t you open the sky for me?
    Won’t you open the sky?
    Won’t you open the sky for me?
    Won’t you open the sky?
    Won’t you open the sky for me?
    Won’t you open the sky?
    Won’t you open the sky for me?
    Won’t you open the sky?

    What struck me hardest was the quiet sense of rage building within the song. The desperate reaching, _clawing_ for the surface, the stars that aren't aligned in a circular pattern. It starts out softer, slower, and builds in a crescendo emotion. Also there's a cat. 🐈😻

    I love how you captured how human the robots are with the end of their verse going from heavy philosophy to “Oh, there’s a cat” like a flip of a switch. I have legitimately had a moment of being deep in thought, see a cat, and then completely losing my train of thought because of said cat.

      I notice, about the same time "stray" starts sounding like "pray", we're shown a side-on shot of the cat climbing first onto a small vehicle, then hopping up onto an awning. Every time afterward, whenever the cat is shown, he's seen from below. The robots are even looking up. The robots' posture, the cat's perhaps-symbolic climb, and feel of the lyrics and imagery together turn the cat almost turn the cat into an angelic figure.

You don’t cry at a funeral because you are sad, you cry because your brain says you should be. Emotions are nothing but a chemical response to try your keep us alive. Your default brain doesn’t have any emotions. You make up emotions out of sheer boredom, your whole life is a play, a lie. You can control how you feel. The “sad? Don’t be!” Is actually VALID! The answer to sadness is RIGHT THERE.

    Omg I am _loving_ the metaphor you created by drawing a parallel between you being a stray cat, and "straying" from the path. It lets the cat protagonist shine as a symbol of hope for all of the robots who wish to be free, saying that they'll stray with it. Stray from the dark, from their programming, from this dystopia they've been trapped and looping through for millions of years. To finally follow a different path, with the stray and B-12 at the forefront. Beautiful writing.

    One of my favorite things about Stupendium's writing is that he is able to make such heartfelt songs out of left field. I would have expected a song focused on the cat, but I couldn't be happier that he chose the companions. Keep at it Stups, at this point you are unable to disappoint me with the quality that you put into your videos. Let alone the bops that they truly are

    I could not quite place why this song hit as hard as it did, but I think it finally clicked. You have this absolutely amazing second verse that perfectly encapsulates the post-apocalyptic despair of the world presented in the game, and as it goes on it feels like it just gets more and more hopeless and angry and volatile, and then
    "Oh. There's a cat."
    I think it hits just right because it isn't just applicable to the game. So many times I've had moments where I feel like life is going to break me, and the despair is gonna set in. And then there's a cat, just this little adorable kitty named Garth that doesn't care how heavy things are. He just wants attention and that's enough to make the rest of it not matter for a minute.
    It's that little bit of hope in the wake of everything else that makes it all just a little less heavy, and it's presented perfectly with 4 words.
    Thanks for making me cry, Stupes, I definitely needed it. 10/10 song as always!

Your default brain doesn’t have any emotions. You make up emotions out of sheer boredom, your whole life is a play, a lie. You can control how you feel. The “sad? Don’t be!” Is actually VALID!

I've listened to this song no less than 50 times and it still makes me tear up because of how absolutely perfect the movement and artfulness of every syllable is and because of how emotional the meaning is. I don't know if you read comments, but I hope you know how absolutely incredible your lyrical work is.

    Can’t believe I’m only just now seeing this, but it’s incredible. You may just have convinced me to get Stray like you did with Control. Amazing work again Stupes

    I love this song! Gotta say, favorite lines: "a little fluffier than I expected, but I'll take it, sure" and "oh, there's a cat". Just freaking gold. You're impressive! Honestly, I see it as more of a hopeful song than "depressing". It's "I want more than this, and you can bring that, please do". Just *chef's kiss* beautiful!!!

    I absolutely ugly cried when I finished this game (To cat lovers: Don't worry, the kitty lives) and just listening to this song and thinking back to that game I can feel the dam ready to break and the tears ready to start flowing again.

    The best part about every song of yours is that its atmosphere fits the game it's about to near perfection, your perfect verses, the rate of which you pump one masterpiece after another,
    truly, hats off to you my good sir.

    Absolutely loving the vibes and atmosphere of this song! You've made a lot of crazy suspenseful schemes but ending the rap intense verse with 'Oh there's a cat.' tops it for me.

    After Stray finally came to Xbox I was able to play it and since completing it I have been able to listen to this song after having to avoid it for so long because of spoilers and it was worth the wait! Your song captures both the desperation of the robots for something outside their normal, for THE outside, while also including parts that are more somberly accepting their condition, like when we first meet Momo or Seamus. These characters were trying to find a way to stray from what’s happened and get back what they want and gave up until we showed that it was possible. I also absolutely love your wordplay in this one. “Eternity of servitude with no one left to serve it to” and “Now we grapple with the syntax, Humanity was doomed but we have to pay your sin tax” are such beautiful constructed lines I would expect nobody besides you to be able to come up with. Beautiful work Stupes

    Well...this is delightfully depressing. Fantastically made as always, but as an empathic person, seeing all those robots trapped reliving their long gone masters lives endlessly on repeat hurt. And you really did capture the anger and sorrow of them. I'm a cat person as well, so seeing how the cat factored into the song was great. Keep it up, I'll be here listening to this until my ears fall off!

    "Won't you open the sky for me?" Oh Stupendium, for the eyes of the many long-hidden looked up and beheld the stars, and I could not help but cry at the sheer beauty of a moment you captured, you illustrated, you embossed in verse and tone on the very core of my heart - you have a gift - as another song goes - I love it when you let it shine through

  • @TheSGL

    This song is such a bop. The vibe, the flow, the lyrics!
    And of course the theme you've chosen!
    Amazing work, Stupes!

    Honestly, the tone drop is exactly what I needed today. It's been a rough couple months, and this hit me very well.
    In particular:
    They say your future’s in the stars, so what are we to do?
    When the stars just form a circle, so your future is a loop
    Not only does your briliance shine through at taking a detail and making a deeply contemplative line out of it, but that's how I've been feeling.
    Thanks for bringing it to my attention in such an elegant way. Maybe now I can get somewhere with it.
    May your skys remain open, and may you love them for it.

    gosh, back when Stray was first announced I was like "omg, can't believe they're making a game for specifically me"
    and then when I played it, again just kept being hit with "omg, they made a game, specifically, for me..."
    and now I have found this song and will probably listen to it nonstop because of course somehow you shoved all my favourite things to show up in music that I love into it AND ALSO IT DOESN'T TRIGGER MY MYSOPHONIA LIKE SO MANY OTHER GLITCHY SONGS DO,
    TRUELY A WONDER, CLEARLY MADE SPECIFICALLY FOR ME,

    Oh. My. God. This song absolutely slaps. The autotune, the emotion in your voice during the rap parts, the lyrics, everything about it is so good. I am absolutely speechless. Keep it up Stupendium!

    The abstract nature of the song and the way you made the music video really captures the mood of the game. Also this song is great

  • @TimSoarer
    @TimSoarer Год назад +4

    I am a bit late to the party since I deliberately choose not to listen to the song before playing the game as to not spoil it, but I finally finished Stray a few days ago and I want to say, you once again managed to perfectly recreate the feelings that me and probably many other people felt while exploring the game's world for the first time.
