Y'know what sums up this song perfectly? Stelle is lawful chaotic. They follow a strict set of rules but no one knows what the hell they are. Which actually fits in with the "It feels so good when you're morally gray" part, since they stick to their morals but no one really knows what they are... So sometimes their actions are good, sometimes they're maniacally insane
I feel like thats chaotic neutral but then again eh why do we care about literal pixels Edit: i do. Lawful chaotic is when someone doesnt stray too far from societal rules and abuse loopholes and use the system in unpredictable ways. And chaotic neutral (me being chaotic neutral with an obvious bias so grain of salt everyone) does whatever they want basically. Thats why its the best alignment to have for dnd, theres not much punishment you get when youre chaotic neutral who follows their own whims and internal rules. You can be holy, you can be an absolute satan, and you can get away with it cause youre morally grey. I have my own set of internal rules even idk, i just see the situation from my perspective and go from there with whatever i want. The source: google DND websites.
@@kristalres how is it lawful chaotic? Genuine question, cause I always assumed lawful chaotic to follow the rules in a somewhat evasive way whilst chaotic neutral does whatever they want by their own whims and rules.
Stelle is such a player character. Like that's her canon personality. She can come off as a sleepy and apathetic "player controlled character" that just wants to fight and do quests and dailies, especially if you make the choices that reflect that, while also being a beloved heroine for deeds, while also just being a little silly that makes mistakes while doing good, and it makes sense somehow.
I still see stelle and caelus literally just little toddlers in teenager bodies. They are curious, clueless and overall Still figuring out themselves, and has the self-focusing characteristics of a toddler. Its a wonder welt gets all sweaty when they get into combat.
Intergalactic terrorists who are also morally grey, given they’re trying to stop the end of the world and kill one of if not the most evil beings in existence. Though essentially being Xianxia Cauldron committing atrocities because Destiny Says So does downgrade their morality significantly.
Morality as a concept is grey already. Hell even countries that NEIGHBOUR each other have different cultural and traditional values and ethics. Not to even mention the personal line that every (yes every) individual draws for themselves after taking that initial set of conditions into consideration. Nobody has exactly the same morals. That's literally why people fight and argue.
For me, every release is like that! And then the new one slides into the first slot, starts playing and the second song plays on its own... (Writing on the walls layered with this is kind of a nightmare and I dig it.)
im suprised more people havent pointed out how ironic/sarcastic this song is, it's stelle literally going "everything you think is right, everyone is morons if they disagree, do morally good things because you get praised/good karma, (and in the words of will stetson) onlyyourpersonalhappinesswhenmakingpositivedecisions" in the beginning it seems like the things are moral and it progressively gets worse, but in reality this entire song is just about stelle's personal opinions on her morals XD edit: i'm referencing reactions i've seen! the song's sarcasm was the first thing i noticed and i thought it was hilarious so i didn't expect reactions wouldn't point it out too. please chill in the replies :')
It does perfectly encapsulate our experience in the game. We literally got a third person perspective morality monologue that very much often ignores what other people might think in-game and rewards us in actual material moral gains for our actions. I've seen a few, but I wonder if literally every action described in the video is just in the game, as I kind-off feel like ithey are.
Ikr, we don't even know if "Praise of High Morals" is an actual thing that materializes whenever someone does a good deed or if it's just gameplay but it's hilarious
@@cobylin9192 im sure you can make that excuse for the entire story. Like what if we and our friends kafka and silver wolf were doing some drugs at home, we hallucinate so badly we think we have amnesia, we wake up on a train station, our 2 friends are universally wanted criminals, amd we have a planet busting bomb in our chest.
Fun Art Fact: the blurred painting at the beginning of the video is called “The Garden of Earthly Delights”, and it pictures the Garden of Eden (left), the Garden of Earthly Delights (middle), and hell (right). A common interpretation of this painting is a moral warning (of some kind). A nice little touch I haven’t seen anyone bring up.
the most random thing to write an HSR song about but also the most perfect thing because I truly love earning the praise of high morals just so I can use them to do terrible things afterwards. Loved it!
"HSR Fansong" doesn't describe how amazingly universal this song is. It's so easy to fall into virtue- signaling echo chambers on the internet, and even easier to believe that groups of PEOPLE you don't like are morons. And here it's literally just Stelle causing havoc for them cool items 😂 what a masterpiece Edit: I have nothing against the color purple I'm so sorry 😭
I don't think it's that deep. I'm pretty sure this is just a song about the "Praise of High Morals" item in-game that you can get by triggerimg unique events in-game (some of which is referenced here).
@@KurouShiro6000 It may indeed be the original inspiration of the song (which I certainly wouldn't doubt, haha), but the possibility of an underlying, deeper message to the song concerning how one may justify the reasoning behind their own or others' actions is not unlikely - especially considering Will's prior astounding works. Besides, don't you think it's a rather fun irony to play; attaching a deep meaning to something that initially started as a reference to nothing more than a simple comedic in-game feature?
I remember laughing so hard when I finally figured out that 'Praise of High Morals' was 100% in Stelle's head, which is why it was so random if she was doing something that one could argue actually is moral when she gets them. So now seeing it presented in song form? Is just perfect.
This. This is why I love Will's original pieces. the lyrics are always one clear sentence/point, that slowly twists into something else, usually the counter opposite of the original sentence/point.
This is such a banger, truly! HoYoFair simply wouldnt be itself without a Will Stetson song, wether its GI or HSR, or wether its sad or not! Props to everyone who helped with this song!
I’ve been listening to this song on repeat for like a day now and I just LOVE the meaning of it. The way that you use generic lyrics in some sections and then make it slowly derail to emphasize just how easy it is to stray off from the morals set by others is so good. I love this song so much
i wanna talk about how batshit insane this song is: it is just saying "listen to the voices in your head and disregard the idiots who disagree" but since i want to get more likes lets examine the lyrics even more even more!: "Society’s collapsing; hanging by a thread" "The kids are running wild and chivalry is dead" "Let’s be better than before" "I’ll give the tools you need to become one of the Moral Elite" this statement tells us 2 things, first is that the guy whos "helping" us believes that the world is already collapsing and going to shit, second, is that he believes that whit his help we can be good people, and because of that he is the one and only person who knows how to be a truly good person, because he believes himself as one of the moral elite.| "It feels so good when your morals are praised" "So listen to the voice you’re hearing deep inside" "When times are tough and you’ve lost your way" "Just remember that virtue is always repaid" "If you keep all your morals high" as said in the original comment this is basically "it feel so good to be right and morally superior, you should hear to the voices deep inside my head, and when you feel you did something wrong, you're not!, keep on going!" which is pretty bad advice if i say so myself, it breeds and narcissistic way to see the world and the morality of actions, to do what you want in belief what you are doing is morally correct, and it makes the thought of changing your mind seem insane. "What’s this money doing here, in a fountain running dry?" "I guess I’ll give it all to a waiter standing by" "Wow he’s looking kinda bored, let’s “liven up” his day" "In a “morally acceptable” way" at the first action, it insinuates that giving money tat you just found to a worker person standing by is the morally right things to do, even thought that the money does not belong to you, and someone might just left it there to get it later, but in general, its something you and me would do. this is just weird and frankly annoying, jump scaring someone isn't really a way to liven up their day, its a way to freak them out, it also says "he’s looking kinda bored" saying that the song protag isn't even sure if he's bored, it even puts "morally acceptable" in quotation marks, to question the true acceptability of this way. "Open somebody else’s letters" "Help a friend keep time better" "Throw a party and bring along every person you know" "See a bomb? Time to be a hero" "Just for fun divide by zero" "Morality is possible everywhere you go" now this geos from bad advice to crimes, invading someone piracy is straight up evil, but i just gotta ask, why the heck is is even here?, what does checking others peoples letters gotta do with morality?. The second and third are weird but fine. HOWEVER, the forth statement shows us that the impact character only wants to act as a hero, throwing a bomb at a glitching tree for some fucking reason. and finally, morality is unfortunately not compatible with every situation, you cant always be good under a normal rule of ethics, since different beliefs clash and and deferrer it causes problems which cant be fixed by following a fixed set o ideals. "But sometimes you’ll struggle" "People will hate you for spreading the truth" "But they’re all morons, don’t listen to them" "Only you can decide what is right" this is just reinforcing the echo chamber by saying anyone who disagrees or doesn't like your ideals are "morons", and aslso saying that you're the only person whos ideals are right. other than that that pretty much the entire song in detail, thanks for reading my 40 page college paragraph.
God the music video on this is so clever! The use of definitions and facts and stuff just randomly placed in there to teach a "Morality Lesson" is so cool, I love it! The song itself is amazing too, I love how it goes "do this to be good" and then at the end goes "but be selfish any time you wanna do something because you should be happy :D" I love it all so much
god, i never fail to feel immense pride in you will. I remember two or three years ago, you always wanted to go out and make your own songs, and you wanted to have them succeed... Well, look at you now! you are doing great! these songs are amazing, and seeing how far you've come in the time i've been around you just... it makes me so happy. Im glad to have met you.
I can't express how happy I was to listen to this song! The moral scale in-game is such a minute aspect of the game that doesn't contribute much to the main plot of the story or side quests, but it is one of the funniest things do find what aspect of each world you can add to your moral scale or take it away. It is one of those little details that many players may overlook, but for you to write an entire song dedicated to the MC performing good deeds and obtaining those moral scales, I can only applaud you
here's some indonesian translation of the lyrics. mostly for practice, but also maybe for any indon HSR fans out there who may or may not come across this gem. :p (note: not meant to be sung along, just a dry translation) [ LYRICS ] Masyarakat runtuh; tergantung pada seutas benang Anak-anak berkeliaran dan tiada lagi sopan-santun Mari kita menjadi lebih baik dari sebelumnya Akan 'ku ajarkanmu cara menjadi seseorang yang Bermoral Tinggi (High, high, high morals!) Kalau melihat tanaman berjemur dibawah mentari Menyiramkannya dengan air itu moral Dan jika bergegasan untuk membantunya bisa membuat barang pecah Termasuk moral untuk mengakui kesalahanmu Suapkan burung-burung hingga tak bisa terbang Sambil jaga tetanggamu kering Dan memberi foto tanda-tangan kepada fans menggila Ambil sampah buangan orang lain Bersihkan tong sampah sampai berkilau Kau harus memperlakukan segala sesuatu secara moral sebisamu Rasanya sangat memuaskan kalau moralmu dipuji Jadi dengarlah suara yang kau dengar dalam hatimu Ketika masa-masa sulit dan kau sesat di jalan Ingatlah saja kebajikan akan selalu dibalas Kalau kau menjunjung tinggi moralitas mu (High, high, high morals!) Sedang apa duit ini disini, dalam air mancur mengalir? Mungkin ku berikan saja ke seorang pelayan disebelah Wow dia sedang kelihatan bosan, yuk kita "hiburkan" dia Dengan cara yang "sepantasnya moral" Buka kotak surat orang lain Bantu teman jaga waktu Adakan pesta dan ajak semua yang kau kenal Ada bom? Saatnya jadi pahlawan Buat iseng aja bagi dengan nol Moralitas itu bisa dimana saja kau berjalan Tapi kadang kau akan berjuang keras Orang-orang akan membencimu menyebarkan kebenaran Tapi mereka semua tolol, jangan dengarkan mereka Hanya kau yang bisa tentukan apa yang benar Rasanya sangat memuaskan kalau moralmu dipuji Jadi dengarlah suara yang kau dengar didalam hatimu Ketika masa-masa sulit dan kau sesat di jalan Pertimbangkanlah hanya kebahagiaanmusendirisaatmembuatkeputusan Rasanya sangat memuaskan kalau moralmu abu Jadi dengarlah suara yang kau dengar dalam hatimu Ketika masa-masa sulit dan kau sesat di jalan Ingatlah kebijakan yang sudah kuajarkan ke kamu Junjunglah tinggi moralitas mu (High, high, high morals!)
The moral lesson is that so long as you feel good about a decision you're morally "correct" no matter what anyone might say or think. It's like good and evil. Good is anything I believe it is and evil is everything else, y'know? It's just how morality works. Even if most people base their morality on what society decides in morally good, it's still what someone decided should be considered good. it doesn't make it the moral choice. Just the popular one. And in the land of YOU you're the most popular person around, morality is whatever makes you happy.
The full lyrics: Society's collapsing hanging by a thread The kids are running wild And chivalry is dead Let's be better than before I'll give the tools you need To become one of the moral elite When you see a potted plant that's drying in the sun Then giving it some water is morals 101 And if rushing to it's aid Makes something fragile break It's moral to admit your mistake Feed the birds until they can't fly While keeping your neighbour dry And giving an autographed photo To ravenous fans Pick up somebody else's litter Clean a dumpster until it glitters You have to treat things morally every time you can It feels so good when your morals are praised So listen to the voice you're hearing deep inside When times are tough and you've lost your way Just remember that virtue is always repayed If you keep all your morals high What's this money doing here in a fountain running dry? I guess I'll give it all to a waiter standing by Wow he's looking kinda bored Let's "liven" up his day in a "morally acceptable" way Open somebody else's letters Help a friend keep time better Throw a party and bring along every person you know See a bomb time to be a hero Just for fun divide by zero Morality is possible everywhere you go But sometimes you'll struggle People will hate you for spreading the truth But they're all morons, don't listen to them Only you can decide what is right It feels so good when your morals are praised So listen to the voice you're hearing deep inside When times are tough and you've lost your way Be sure to consider only Your personal happiness when making decisions It feels so good when you're morally gray So listen to the voice you're hearing deep inside When times are tough and you've lost your way Remember the wisdom I've taught you today Be sure to keep your morals high (Tell me if I missed anything/made something wrong, thanks! :D)
I absolutely love this. It fits so well, the artwork is beautiful, the song has a cheerful vibe and lyrics that at first, make you think this is just a song about doing good but you kinda realize it’s not what it seems. Very well-written and incredible! I really want to say more but its very late at night so my brain is half-asleep
The song starting off with gloomy lyrics and then rapidly descending into cheerful madness is exactly the vibe I'm getting whenever I play hsr, it's so fitting. Truly a shitpost mixed perfectly with amazing talent ((also I really hope will is not being held hostage by the hoyofair crew because this is the third hoyofair song in one year-))
This song literally made me dance upon first hearing it. At 2 am. While brushing my teeth. I'm not normally that easily 'moved' (as in literally made to move by a song). So glad YT recommended you, such bangers!
I love how most of these things are technically not moral. Like feeding birds until they can't fly, the autographed photo, helping in a 'moral' way, Opening other's letters, helping Stelle's friend with time, bringing everyone you know to a party, dividing by zero (usually isn't a good thing,) and technically the plant because it resulted in it breaking. Another mention could include giving the waiter the money (it's not their's, the moral thing would be to give the money back to the owner).
This is very well done... As someone who plays Honkai: Star Rail, I've understood what this fansong is all about and it's really fun to know what the song is about and that you know the whole context of it hahahahahahahhahaha
Fun thing is that most of the situations in the moral lessons are actually some side quests in game. I love this. Like watering the plant on herta station. It is super cute :>
The one of opening someone else's letters reminded me of that place in Luofu where you are opening a letter addressed to his teacher so something like that. I don't remember what it was about, but I think the response never came because the teacher had died from old age
As a freeman college student taking a philosophy class I was never expecting this song to actually fit into what we were talking about, especially those little philosophic paragraphs under the lyrics.
Wow this is amazing, didn't knew we would get a fansong about our favorite Trash Tomboy Stelle and it suits her character so much, she's such an unhinged chaotic racoon and this song proves it even more. Now all we need is a female version so it better suits Stelle as she's the one singing it but still you did an amazing job with your vocals. thank you and happy new year!
This song was playing in the background and when i was playing and i was about to giveup but then heard this out of context(2:48)and i thought literally "yeah i should cheer up and keep my moral high insteadof losing hope its making me worse at playing"
I love how this song is about being kind and helping people but only in a way it benefits you. Making tasks only in return of money and resources and your ego feeling good about how people treat you - as someone who plays as stelle this is exactly what I'm like in game. Kindness is liability to get what you want hahsjs
Yeah, I have a bard character I wanna play in a dnd game that acts like that. He’s actually lawful evil, but he does good things to gain rewards and influence.
It’s an absolute wonder to listen to, once it’s on on Spotify, it’s definitely going to be played on loop for me. Will, your singing is melodious, and these lyrics are fantastic. Amazing song. Happy New Year’s everyone!
Damn, pulling a Monogatari frames on me. It compulses me to read all text in the in-between frames and I already love you for that stylistic choice. Also it's smart as then I had to listen to the song again to, you know, actually listen to it.
The songs you make yourself suit your voice the most it sounds so good and the lyrics are always so fun and meaningful. The beat itself is a banger. Who is this man?

"Society’s collapsing; hanging by a thread"
"The kids are running wild and chivalry is dead"
"Let’s be better than before"
"I’ll give the tools you need to become one of the Moral Elite"
this statement tells us 2 things, first is that the guy whos "helping" us believes that the world is already collapsing and going to shit, second, is that he believes that whit his help we can be good people, and because of that he is the one and only person who knows how to be a truly good person, because he believes himself as one of the moral elite.|
"It feels so good when your morals are praised"
"So listen to the voice you’re hearing deep inside"
"When times are tough and you’ve lost your way"
"Just remember that virtue is always repaid"
"If you keep all your morals high"
as said in the original comment this is basically "it feel so good to be right and morally superior, you should hear to the voices deep inside my head, and when you feel you did something wrong, you're not!, keep on going!" which is pretty bad advice if i say so myself, it breeds and narcissistic way to see the world and the morality of actions, to do what you want in belief what you are doing is morally correct, and it makes the thought of changing your mind seem insane.

at the first action, it insinuates that giving money tat you just found to a worker person standing by is the morally right things to do, even thought that the money does not belong to you, and someone might just left it there to get it later, but in general, its something you and me would do.
this is just weird and frankly annoying, jump scaring someone isn't really a way to liven up their day, its a way to freak them out, it also says "he’s looking kinda bored" saying that the song protag isn't even sure if he's bored, it even puts "morally acceptable" in quotation marks, to question the true acceptability of this way.
"Open somebody else’s letters"
"Help a friend keep time better"
"Throw a party and bring along every person you know"
"See a bomb? Time to be a hero"
"Just for fun divide by zero"
"Morality is possible everywhere you go"
now this geos from bad advice to crimes, invading someone piracy is straight up evil, but i just gotta ask, why the heck is is even here?, what does checking others peoples letters gotta do with morality?. The second and third are weird but fine. HOWEVER, the forth statement shows us that the impact character only wants to act as a hero, throwing a bomb at a glitching tree for some fucking reason. and finally, morality is unfortunately not compatible with every situation, you cant always be good under a normal rule of ethics, since different beliefs clash and and deferrer it causes problems which cant be fixed by following a fixed set o ideals.
"But sometimes you’ll struggle"
"People will hate you for spreading the truth"
"But they’re all morons, don’t listen to them"
"Only you can decide what is right"
this is just reinforcing the echo chamber by saying anyone who disagrees or doesn't like your ideals are "morons", and aslso saying that you're the only person whos ideals are right.
other than that that pretty much the entire song in detail, thanks for reading my 40 page college paragraph.
Like this song is making me realize Stelle miiiight be schizophrenic
Wait....
We trailblazers are schizophrenic??
@@ladrugo I mean I have no proof, but we do hear voices that literally won't take no for an answer at times. It sure feels like it!!!
@@ladrugowhat do u think we hear when we talk to the trash cans?
@@fedechan6325 having the cancer of worlds inside you might have side effects.
God the music video on this is so clever! The use of definitions and facts and stuff just randomly placed in there to teach a "Morality Lesson" is so cool, I love it! The song itself is amazing too, I love how it goes "do this to be good" and then at the end goes "but be selfish any time you wanna do something because you should be happy :D"
I love it all so much
god, i never fail to feel immense pride in you will. I remember two or three years ago, you always wanted to go out and make your own songs, and you wanted to have them succeed... Well, look at you now! you are doing great! these songs are amazing, and seeing how far you've come in the time i've been around you just... it makes me so happy. Im glad to have met you.
WE BECOMING ONE OF THE MORALLY ELITE WITH THUS ONE 🔥🔥
YESSS A HSR FANSONG!!! and by the king himself!
I like how it starts with telling to be morally good to telling to be morally gray.
I just love the change of perspective in your songs, keep it up.
WE GETTING PRAISE OF HIGH MORALS WITH THIS ONE🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
As someone who actually keeps up being a moral person and is new to Honkai Star Rail... Dang this is a gift
WE'RE KEEPING OUR MORALS HIGH WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥
Happy new year everyone!!
I can't express how happy I was to listen to this song! The moral scale in-game is such a minute aspect of the game that doesn't contribute much to the main plot of the story or side quests, but it is one of the funniest things do find what aspect of each world you can add to your moral scale or take it away. It is one of those little details that many players may overlook, but for you to write an entire song dedicated to the MC performing good deeds and obtaining those moral scales, I can only applaud you
This Stelle with the praise of high morals in her hands really gives feelings of a divine being showing us morality
here's some indonesian translation of the lyrics. mostly for practice, but also maybe for any indon HSR fans out there who may or may not come across this gem. :p (note: not meant to be sung along, just a dry translation)
[ LYRICS ]
Masyarakat runtuh; tergantung pada seutas benang
Anak-anak berkeliaran dan tiada lagi sopan-santun
Mari kita menjadi lebih baik dari sebelumnya
Akan 'ku ajarkanmu cara menjadi seseorang yang Bermoral Tinggi
(High, high, high morals!)
Kalau melihat tanaman berjemur dibawah mentari
Menyiramkannya dengan air itu moral
Dan jika bergegasan untuk membantunya bisa membuat barang pecah
Termasuk moral untuk mengakui kesalahanmu
Suapkan burung-burung hingga tak bisa terbang
Sambil jaga tetanggamu kering
Dan memberi foto tanda-tangan kepada fans menggila
Ambil sampah buangan orang lain
Bersihkan tong sampah sampai berkilau
Kau harus memperlakukan segala sesuatu secara moral sebisamu
Rasanya sangat memuaskan kalau moralmu dipuji
Jadi dengarlah suara yang kau dengar dalam hatimu
Ketika masa-masa sulit dan kau sesat di jalan
Ingatlah saja kebajikan akan selalu dibalas
Kalau kau menjunjung tinggi moralitas mu
(High, high, high morals!)
Sedang apa duit ini disini, dalam air mancur mengalir?
Mungkin ku berikan saja ke seorang pelayan disebelah
Wow dia sedang kelihatan bosan, yuk kita "hiburkan" dia
Dengan cara yang "sepantasnya moral"
Buka kotak surat orang lain
Bantu teman jaga waktu
Adakan pesta dan ajak semua yang kau kenal
Ada bom? Saatnya jadi pahlawan
Buat iseng aja bagi dengan nol
Moralitas itu bisa dimana saja kau berjalan
Tapi kadang kau akan berjuang keras
Orang-orang akan membencimu menyebarkan kebenaran
Tapi mereka semua tolol, jangan dengarkan mereka
Hanya kau yang bisa tentukan apa yang benar
Rasanya sangat memuaskan kalau moralmu dipuji
Jadi dengarlah suara yang kau dengar didalam hatimu
Ketika masa-masa sulit dan kau sesat di jalan
Pertimbangkanlah hanya kebahagiaanmusendirisaatmembuatkeputusan
Rasanya sangat memuaskan kalau moralmu abu
Jadi dengarlah suara yang kau dengar dalam hatimu
Ketika masa-masa sulit dan kau sesat di jalan
Ingatlah kebijakan yang sudah kuajarkan ke kamu
Junjunglah tinggi moralitas mu
(High, high, high morals!)
The moral lesson is that so long as you feel good about a decision you're morally "correct" no matter what anyone might say or think. It's like good and evil. Good is anything I believe it is and evil is everything else, y'know? It's just how morality works. Even if most people base their morality on what society decides in morally good, it's still what someone decided should be considered good. it doesn't make it the moral choice. Just the popular one. And in the land of YOU you're the most popular person around, morality is whatever makes you happy.
0:15 I heard "hey fools" instead of "high morals" at first and honestly, given the message of the song, I feel like it fits XD
I CANT UNHEAR IT
I thought it said Ey hEY A-April fools 😭 😭 😭
It's better, than my gutter-bound ahh hearing "HEY! BALLS!"
When she punches the camera man I can't 😂
This is a banger as always, Will.
I thought the bomb line was a joke….. after checking some trash cans I found out it isn’t a joke
I like how this song really does fit stelle's personality of someone who was born last month and is trying to copy people that we're kind to her
The full lyrics:
Society's collapsing hanging by a thread
The kids are running wild And chivalry is dead
Let's be better than before I'll give the tools you need
To become one of the moral elite
When you see a potted plant that's drying in the sun
Then giving it some water is morals 101
And if rushing to it's aid Makes something fragile break
It's moral to admit your mistake
Feed the birds until they can't fly
While keeping your neighbour dry
And giving an autographed photo
To ravenous fans
Pick up somebody else's litter
Clean a dumpster until it glitters
You have to treat things morally every time you can
It feels so good when your morals are praised
So listen to the voice you're hearing deep inside
When times are tough and you've lost your way
Just remember that virtue is always repayed
If you keep all your morals high
What's this money doing here in a fountain running dry?
I guess I'll give it all to a waiter standing by
Wow he's looking kinda bored
Let's "liven" up his day in a "morally acceptable" way
Open somebody else's letters
Help a friend keep time better
Throw a party and bring along every person you know
See a bomb time to be a hero
Just for fun divide by zero
Morality is possible everywhere you go
But sometimes you'll struggle
People will hate you for spreading the truth
But they're all morons, don't listen to them
Only you can decide what is right
It feels so good when your morals are praised
So listen to the voice you're hearing deep inside
When times are tough and you've lost your way
Be sure to consider only
Your personal happiness when making decisions
It feels so good when you're morally gray
So listen to the voice you're hearing deep inside
When times are tough and you've lost your way
Remember the wisdom I've taught you today
Be sure to keep your morals high
(Tell me if I missed anything/made something wrong, thanks! :D)
👍👀👍
Ring size???
This autoplaying after Rabbit Hole is a level of tonal whiplash I wasnt ready for.
I absolutely love this. It fits so well, the artwork is beautiful, the song has a cheerful vibe and lyrics that at first, make you think this is just a song about doing good but you kinda realize it’s not what it seems. Very well-written and incredible! I really want to say more but its very late at night so my brain is half-asleep
The song starting off with gloomy lyrics and then rapidly descending into cheerful madness is exactly the vibe I'm getting whenever I play hsr, it's so fitting. Truly a shitpost mixed perfectly with amazing talent ((also I really hope will is not being held hostage by the hoyofair crew because this is the third hoyofair song in one year-))
Damn, my brain has started to reverse it into just moral anarchy and it is a strait banger.
3:02, you can tell dan heng is disappointed lol
This song literally made me dance upon first hearing it. At 2 am. While brushing my teeth. I'm not normally that easily 'moved' (as in literally made to move by a song). So glad YT recommended you, such bangers!
As a student in math, the division by zero hurts me more than i'm willing to admit
This song drank ALL the protein shakes.
I love how most of these things are technically not moral. Like feeding birds until they can't fly, the autographed photo, helping in a 'moral' way, Opening other's letters, helping Stelle's friend with time, bringing everyone you know to a party, dividing by zero (usually isn't a good thing,) and technically the plant because it resulted in it breaking. Another mention could include giving the waiter the money (it's not their's, the moral thing would be to give the money back to the owner).
投稿されてから毎日聞いていて今更ですが、すごく好きです！offvocalも最高だと確信してるのでいくらでも待ちます！！！
This is very well done... As someone who plays Honkai: Star Rail, I've understood what this fansong is all about and it's really fun to know what the song is about and that you know the whole context of it hahahahahahahhahaha
Fun thing is that most of the situations in the moral lessons are actually some side quests in game. I love this. Like watering the plant on herta station. It is super cute :>
The one of opening someone else's letters reminded me of that place in Luofu where you are opening a letter addressed to his teacher so something like that. I don't remember what it was about, but I think the response never came because the teacher had died from old age
I think the reason I love this song is because it doesn't feel like a fan song it's just universal you and your team did a great job with this
Idk how you guys thought to make a song for high morals 😂 it’s so endearing and catchy 😊Thank y’all so much, you guys did a fabulous job!
The monogatari editing is so good!
As a freeman college student taking a philosophy class I was never expecting this song to actually fit into what we were talking about, especially those little philosophic paragraphs under the lyrics.
Sounds awesome
I can tell from the trailer alone that once this comes out it will be on repeat for a while
lol same
Oh absolutely lol
@@Ruuniru I just heard it and its awesome
長らくお世話になります…
0:54 1:15 2:24 🫶！！！！！！！！！
サビ行ったとき下がるのオシャレすぎんだろ…間奏大好き
WE SUCCOMBING TO THE VOICES IN OUR HEAD WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥
Stelle is such a menace I love her.
Okay but like why is Stelle so pretty in this
I wasn't expecting to find a song like this... damn, this is great. It really hits well with the game and life in general. Well done...
Wow this is amazing, didn't knew we would get a fansong about our favorite Trash Tomboy Stelle and it suits her character so much, she's such an unhinged chaotic racoon and this song proves it even more. Now all we need is a female version so it better suits Stelle as she's the one singing it but still you did an amazing job with your vocals. thank you and happy new year!
This song was playing in the background and when i was playing and i was about to giveup but then heard this out of context(2:48)and i thought literally "yeah i should cheer up and keep my moral high insteadof losing hope its making me worse at playing"
Love how everything shown is an actual event or quest in the game, love the music too keep it up :D.
I love how this song is about being kind and helping people but only in a way it benefits you. Making tasks only in return of money and resources and your ego feeling good about how people treat you - as someone who plays as stelle this is exactly what I'm like in game. Kindness is liability to get what you want hahsjs
Yeah, I have a bard character I wanna play in a dnd game that acts like that. He’s actually lawful evil, but he does good things to gain rewards and influence.
That's super cool! @@stargazer1998
This is legit one of my favorite songs, I'm so glad it's on Spotify
If I had to use one word to describe the song, it would be "awesome"! Thank you for this super cool piece!
WE STARTING THE YEAR STRONG WITH THIS ONE!!!
Great song and great lesson, It is hard to explain how much I love this song.
It’s an absolute wonder to listen to, once it’s on on Spotify, it’s definitely going to be played on loop for me. Will, your singing is melodious, and these lyrics are fantastic. Amazing song.
Happy New Year’s everyone!
今更聞いてbgmの良さとサビの爽快感にハマりました！
スタレ好きとしてリピートしたいです
I cannot wait for the première to start. I bet this is gonna be as wonderful as all the others songs you've made.
Edit: 17 hours left
I bet this will be good as always, your voice makes everything sound perfect
WE'RE FOLLOWING OUR MORALS WITH THIS ONE🔥🔥🔥‼️‼️
Damn, pulling a Monogatari frames on me. It compulses me to read all text in the in-between frames and I already love you for that stylistic choice.
Also it's smart as then I had to listen to the song again to, you know, actually listen to it.
Omg this sounds amazing so far! Can't wait for the full thing!
BRO GOT A SCALE OF MORALITY FOR DROPPING THIS BANGER🔥🔥🔥🔥 THIS GUY AINT COOKING HE MADE A WHOLE 5 STAR MEAL🔥🔥🔥
HSR taught me that Morality is actually a currency. Right and wrong is purely transactional. dw about it
It took me 8 months to come to the realization that this could damn well be abt the "praise of high morals"
WE'RE MAKING IT INTO THE INSANE ASYLUM WITH THIS ONE!!!!! 🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥
currently 2:34am on new years, but nothing will stop me listening to this🔥🔥💃💃
this is the feral racoon Stelle song we needed
WE GETTING OUT THE HOOD WITH THIS ONE, POOKIE!💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
waiting room for Will to make an Aventurine based on fansong
It's telling you to go vegan
I first heard this song on my Alexa but the music video makes it so much better
THE FACE AT 2:21 IS PRICELESS 🤩
WE IS BECOMING ONE OF THE MORAL ELITE WITH THIS ONE🗣️🔥🔥
All these mihoyo games songs are amazing. So glad to see fansongs of my fav games/ game characters.
*This song is a banger. Will Stetson has been awarded with the Praise of High Morals!*
Happy New Year! I'm sure with this song our morality will be rewarded in the coming year 😌
never thought i'd hear a song where chanting "morals!" makes any sense. Fantastic XD
I just heard “society’s collapsing” and immediately went YIPPPEEE
I will be shocked if Stelle’s VA actually does a cover of this song!!!
I have to say this might actually convince me to play HSR
WE’RE WINNING OUT 50/50S WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🔥🔥
The songs you make yourself suit your voice the most it sounds so good and the lyrics are always so fun and meaningful. The beat itself is a banger. Who is this man?
Will Stetson, the goat.
