The harmonies and vocal effects on this track are literally the coolest i have ever heard plus the glide on the lead is just beautiful. Absolutely haunting. Marvelous. Incredible. Not to mention the visuals could not possibly fit the song any better. Don't ever stop making art.
As someone who had experience the teenage years, at the right place & the right time to see the late rise, peak, fall of SoundCloud. You sparked something in me that is special to me.
The production on this is just exquisite. This must take ages to put together and tweak just right. Gao's music makes me feel like I'm getting good value out of my headphones, man!
I'll always fuck with your music and your producing is just on point, it makes me feel things I never thought I could feel emotions I didn't even know existed
@@gaothearsonist you’ll never understand what your music means to me sadly, because even if I explained, it wouldn’t do it justice. Please don’t stop creating, please.
@@gaothearsonistDead Leaves has a hypnotic vibe and you manipulate the track in some really cool ways, chopping it up and freezing for impact, and it slaps! I think Right Between the Eyes is gonna be on repeat basically forever now though 😆
Among all the artists roaming social media you're the second one to catch my heart. This is pure heat for my soul drowning in winter's bliss. +1 follower
I've said it before, but Gao's lyrics work on their own as poetry, you could pull out the music and they stand well on their own, and it feels almost like the track is built around the words instead of the words built around the track. It's really cool.
@@kylenewsome8439 I made a breakdown of why I relate to this song on such a visceral level just for myself but ill share it cause you asked. if you meant the actual lyrics, its on the video. . "Never really tried too hard to stay alive Always said I saw my own life cut short Threw caution to wind with the coal ash" (This was my exact mentality for many years, I was really focusing on my death for so long, not suicidal but overly excepting of my inevitable death to the point of unhealthy behavior) "Better men than me have attempted Guess if there's a God, I'm a favorite" (when it comes to pretty much everything I do, my music, my art, my education, etc. there are more talented and powerful people around me but for some reason, I manage to always come out on top, especially in the last few years, I couldnt explain why if I wanted to.) . "Not immortal, it's thе fall I'm okay with" (going back to those first bars I was talking about, same concept) . "Honestly, I thought my body'd give out by now Buckled knees, I swear there's nothing else underneath" (going back to the second round of bars, given the fact that I dont think Im nearly as good as my peers, given how weak I am in most aspects of life, and given my circumstances medically, mentally, emotionally, physically, etc. Im surprised Im as persistent as I am) . "You would have to hit me right between the eyes I'd pay good money just to see you try Bet you can't shoot straight, huh Bet you can't shoot straight, bet you can't- (Ha-ha-ha-ha) You don't have to get someone to hold me still I won't move a muscle for your trophy kill Bet you can't shoot straight, huh Bet you can't shoot straight, bet you can't- I don't wanna die, I just wanna pause Got close through trial and error, now the blood soaked through the gauze I'm standing here unscathed, but you weighed it wrong I'm not cheating death, don't you see? I'm baiting God" (due to the combination of not fearing my death, somehow always coming out on top, and being stubborn and persistent, its lead to me developing a functional level of narcisism and ego, Ive said things like I swear to god I cant die, I cant lose, etc.) . everything else in the song pretty much lines up with what I said
Dude, did u read your comment? With lyrics that describes how you view your life. So what did you take from this song? You made absolutely no sense saying that crap. He talking about battling within himself suicide or being hurt, or something.
@@TheDynamicDudesmy bad bro. I just really hated that response. Your comment made it seem you understood what he was expressing. Then it sounded like you were being a smart@$$ for no reason. But I'm sorry, no hate here.

Best discover of this year, unique musical world, insane production/ sound design, high replay value
The artistery is unmatched
Out of this world
Finally this piece of art is out. Fire from the Arsonist as usual.
Can't provide anything else

been there
Appreciate it before life happens
this is what true, self-made art sounds like, excited for Gao ❤
We're DIY out here
@@gaothearsonist Good man, that's the way it should be done 👍
@@gaothearsonistI believe you are unstoppable
beat production on all your songs go crazy
That means a lot to me dude. I'm as much a producer as I am a vocalist
this is the best album i‘ve heard in a long time. Amazing work
I'm from Cameroon 🇨🇲 i listen a lot of Hip hop all around the world... u one of the best on this planet
*going into 2024 with a new underrated artist is a highlight in my life ngl*
The production on this is just exquisite. This must take ages to put together and tweak just right. Gao's music makes me feel like I'm getting good value out of my headphones, man!
20-28 seconds in you are evolving brother that flow was something else....
Found your webtoon comic, which lead me to your spotify, and goddamn I have to say that all of your art audio and visual is absolutely amazing
The vocal effect on the "you will have to" has me in a trance i swear
My God man, this is amazing. It's not easy to find an artist like you. I hope you get more exposure and blow tf up.
hands down, one of the best gao songs lowk 🙌

This is insane and the sound design is amazing!!
your lyrics are just straight poetry it's beautiful genuinely the thought put into each bar is astonishing
