Artists are capable of creating art with a simple brush, creators are capable of creating many different things with the power of their mind, I admire those who can create amazing things.
OnyxKing67 artist make things with more than just a simple brush. art isnt just a drawing or a painting. art can be music, art can be crafts, art can be anything if you believe it is.
Hi Will, just wanted to let you know your awesome and song really speaks to me and please keep up the amazing work! -Kitty PS: I am planning to get your sweat shirt
I'm an artist who is always belittled or treated like i am trash or even a robot. this song helps me so much. i draw to make people happy only to get some people yelling at me. life happens and i try explaining this only to be told to give up on my love of art and being a commission artist is how i make others happy. you don't understand how much this song helped me to stand up for my self. i began to love drawing again.

"you give them art made of gold, but they slice it down with embrace" that describes this song perfectly. I will never understand how such amazing original songs still get shadowed behind song about yet another indie game
Me listening to this when it came out: “Woah, this song is awesome!” Me listening to this now: “Woah, I didn’t know you were in such pain Will.” Keep rockin’ dude!
Now that the remake of this song has been released, I can safely say this might be the best original song you’ve made. It perfectly incapsulates everything about the trials and tribulations of being an artist of any form, whether that be a painter, a singer, a writer, a content creator, etc., while also giving some hella good life advice. The message of the song is clear as glass and to say it’s uplifting is an understatement.
You look like that one edgy dude who look and this music and be like " this is my kind of song oh wow this really good it really showed a lot about me"
6 years later And this is STILL my favorite piece of music DA produced. Maybe even my favorite song of all. A sheer masterpiece that deserves more recognition.
I think both this AND the remaster are awesome! I wanna make something like this, but I don’t know how to play the guitar or even write good lyrics, needless to say, both are amazing, Iris should become an indie show or even an animated movie IMO
Artists have the most powerful imagination Musicians have the most powerful voice we all have the ability to do these things we all have imagination we are all creative none of us are better than another we are all created the same imagination is something really special we can always have our voice makes things be heard our imagination makes it be seen
7 years ago today as of me writing this. It's been a momentous journey. I think I speak for many when I say IRIS has been such a big part in shaping and guiding me. Will has been the most inspiring and courageous person I've ever seen. And now the Resurrection is finally here. We are ready to descend again.
Honestly, this song gave me the feeling of independence, autonomy, dignity. This song express the more acybering (rage, inteligence, dignity, autonomy) of a person, counting that sure each people that feel this was pressure in the past. This is an art master piece that demostre the human sentimental capacity.
I know I’m 6 years late and probably commented when I was younger, but I need to say this. I’ve listened to this song since I was young and since then, I’ve been through so much with teenage drug abuse and even getting abused by two ex’s from 16-18 and having to learn the hard way in my young life. And now that I’m aware of life lessons, i know what this song means to you, Will. Im not saying you did anything I did, im saying that I understand your feelings coming through this song. I use this song to help remind me that I should never lower myself to help ungrateful people who are only there for me when it benefits them, and that I should never stop putting my art out there because that’s what helps me and also helps others, if some people don’t like it then that’s their problem, not mine. I don’t have to please everyone, I just keep on doing what makes me happy and what helps me grow further as an individual, making sure I do what I have to do for myself is my maiden priority, not others. Basically, this song and some other songs of yours helped me. I rediscovered your music by listening to my old music and it brought back nostalgic memories from my childhood and it shows me how far I have come. Thanks for sharing your art with us and thanks for helping me get through the tough part of sobriety and helping me realize some important things that I need to keep in mind, you’re a special artist and an awesome dude💯
this is reason way I listen to DAGAMES songs because he inspired everyone who want to be an artist. like you can be a singer, dancer, draw artist, or whatever you want. so DAGAMES you got my like
i listened to this back when i graduated high school. Now I've graduated college with a bachelors in fine arts. The people at the college were far better and treated me with actual dignity and respect. Something I'll never forgive my highschool for was putting all my friends in the art class and not letting me attend that class. That highschool really did squander my artistic pursuits and hopefully they all rot in hell. So good riddence to high school, and thank you to my college for letting me tap into my true potential.
Artists are the purest of all hearts, they want to hold on to the color and beauty of this world and pray that what they do helps people see that in this, muted and jaded world. But when they want to deliver a hard message, they make sure that damn message sticks.
it´s not that. i´m just sensitive to the comments about my nationality. it´s like "yeah i´m a finn, so what, there´s no reason to start pointing it out.(also it sounds like you´r making fun of me when doing so)"
Out of all the songs you have made, out of every single amazing song you have put out for us to enjoy there is something about this song. This one song, one you have put so much heart and soul into it and it shows. Hell, if you were to quit making songs right now (please don't) I believe that this song would be the perfect way to go out. Keep making amazing songs Will, I and everybody else will always be here to support you. Now if you will excuse me, I am going to be listening to this song. Forever. On Repeat.
This my understanding of the song : Will just wants to make music but people either criticise him for it , Force opinions like "this song is better" or people constantly requesting songs that Will just cant make . All that = stress . Stress = The heart of an artist . He also says "treat them as they will treat you" . Some people are asses and treat him like shit . But , hey . That's just my understanding !
As a writer, I feel pressured to write a story that makes others feel happy instead of writing what makes me happy. It doesn’t help that I was severely bullied in my childhood and I grew up thinking there was something wrong with me. This song has brought me to tears because it has made me see how I’ve always wanted to be. This song got me through an extremely tough time when I was questioning committing suicide. And it saved me. Having the heart of an artist and the mind of a writer has never made me any happier or any prouder. And for that, Will, I can never ever thank you enough.
Will Ryan of DAgames You will go down in history as the best music creator ever Even the joke songs were good I wish you luck on the road to 50 million subscribers -Hayden a fellow. Subscriber and your Biggest Fan
There is not alot of artists like Will because Will does not hold anything back. If he feels bad he will speak his mind through either his gameplay, livestreams, animations, basically whatever way he possibly can.
I completely understand the meaning of this song (I think). It's about an artist that get's demanded to make songs that he didn't really want to do. The artist makes a song either by request, or just a song he wanted to do (I don't know which one) and he gets hate from the song he made. Then the artist realizes he doesn't need them. "You place the cards on the desk but they rip it up in your face", great analogy (or metaphors. I don't know which one). This quote describes what I said above about creating music and people hating it. "They take you like a remote and control your fate", another great analogy (or metaphors. I still don't know which one). This also goes with people demanding what music you make. Is this song reflected partly an you, or an artist in general? Sorry for breaking down parts of the song. I always love to break a song down to get the meaning of it. I love this song just because of the meaning it stands for.
I think it's slightly autobiographical, because there have been so many people demanding more fnaf songs despite him having made so many good ones already and wanting to be able to move on. Obviously not just fnaf, but it was the main one for a while, and I think it was beginning to annoy him.
Samuel Watt Yeah. He got annoyed because of all the demanding people wanting FNaF, and only FNaF. Since anyone who creates something like a song, art work, cartoon, a RUclipsr in general, will get demanded to do things they aren't exactly willing to do, but are threatened that that demanding person will leave or unsubscribe if they don't get what they want.
This song is the best and the message is great dude I don't like people rushing projects and making them forced to do it but you told them that the artest are not puppets and they are people this is the best message that I heard all day :)
Will, of all the songs you have ever made, this one speaks to me the most. I am a Drag performer and, in most places, Kings are the dirt beneath Queens feet. I was lucky as my area offers places for kings to perform. I started November 28th, 2018. I have seen both kings and queens hurt because it doesn't match to people's standards of them. Some have even cancelled Pride shows because of these expectations and more. I am going to be performing to this song on Sunday. Bought it just for it since I listen to it on repeat via RUclips. I want to thank you for the song because, even though I know the meaning, I am happy it is so vague as it could be any artist. And I will be showing my art and kinda using it to help cheer up a friend who had gotten hurt by the system.
Oh my god, Will... This is the most beautiful song you have ever created. I have watched your channel for years and your wild soul always had a special place in my heart because you know what it's like to walk through this world with a sun for a heart. Take it from me, you a remarkable individual who I wish I had the fortune to know in real life. Please make more, and please never stop giving your all.
"AD THE LIGHTS GO OUT" and " HEART OF AN ARTIST " really makes me cry because I'm always in this situation and THANK U DA GAMES FOR HELPING ME and it's like ur talking to me because it's like u r cheering up and I love your songs AND THANK U 😥😟😭
as an artist myself, i actually cried of happiness that someone knows how it feels when someone is judged by how the piece looks or how it sounds, so thank you will, thank you
This song really speaks to me since I'm an artist myself. I've always had fear of showing my art and passion to many due to them putting me down. I even got told to do a different career as a lawyer, doctor, etc. But I knew what I wanted, my passion and my dreams. I love to draw my heart out, I want to draw and make cartoons later in the future. Right now I'm in college trying my hardest to graduate and transfer to university for my Multi artist major/ bachelor's degree to start what I began. I opened myself to others and now here I am, drawing still and determine to get to that goal. and this song, really speaks through my childhood and my time always hiding from everyone and the fear of failure and my outcome of my future. There will be people out there who will bring me down and step on my path, but I won't back down that easily, and I'll hold on to my heart of an artist!
The song that started IRIS. Looking back on this song, I'm so happy this was made, if it wasn't, it wouldn't inspire many content creators, artists, and many others to embrace the creativity in their own right, no matter what other people tell them Will, I know you’re probably too busy to see this, but thank you. Thank you for making this song.
God I love this song... In my opinion, I love they way it sounds. and the lyrics, they speak a big message that should be heard by many artists out there. But I could be wrong and not know what I'm talking about, take it how you like it.
I absolutely love your fandom songs, but your original works are just BREATHTAKING! You ARE an artist, Will! your music always strikes a chord with me (no pun intended), and I am VERY thankful that I found your channel when I did. Your music has been the inspiration behind so many of my own artistic endeavors, and I just want to say: Thank you, Will Ryan. for EVERYTHING.
Dude, thank you for this song. You're an amazing creator and you inspire me within my media to keep creating. To be a creator has so many meanings for every person that believes themselves to be one. It's a difficult balance to strike. On one hand we want people to like us, we want validation that we are good in what we do, but at the same time we want to live and create for our own sake, for our own happiness. In the end, validation from others cannot compare to your personal validation of yourself. If you believe yourself to be an artist, no one can tell you that you are wrong, art is subjective. It claims it has rules, but all of those rules are open to interpretation, and "breaking" them can lead to finding something better, or something ugly. Art is experimental, art is expression and communication. I once had an artist of another media tell me, and I quote, "I don't consider you an artist," after I had been creating content for him for two years. I have been broken down before, but that was the worst someone has ever hurt me as an artist, and that person still doesn't understand why what they said was hurtful, nor do I believe that they care. People have told me my content isn't great, or that it has flaws. Sometimes they tell me what they think should be fixed, why, and even offer advice as to how to go about it, or a link to a tutorial. Those people I appreciate, they have good intentions and sometimes I'll benefit from the experience. But there are people who are not like that who have called my art garbage, some of which are sadly professors that have no intention of trying to help their students, they're just there for their paycheck. There was one who asked me why I was crying, thought there was something wrong with me, after he erased my entire board three quarters of the way through a figure drawing class. Another one had me do at least a hundred edits so that my work no longer looked like it was mine, and if it wasn't "swiss enough" he would hurt my grade, adding in "requirements" that he never once listed in the instructions or verbally spoke of. And the most recent, oh he's a bad one, an international artist from Spain who picked his favorites and gave the rest of us barely passing grades, never helped us, all I learned from his class was from his TA, who actually gave a damn about us. It's okay to suggest that I try something new if you genuinely think it will benefit my work, but to tell me that I am wrong is wrong in and of itself. There is no "wrong" in art, that's part of why people want it, interpretation and feeling is something no one can take away from you. There's "deviating from the standard, accepted practice," but that is not wrong, that is deviation and experimentation.
Will after I listened to this song I’ve read the tweet and right now..I’m crying because of how true this song is..and as fellow artist I say that you’ve done a BEAUTIFUL job on writing this song..every time I hear this song I tear up with joy knowing you’re speaking up for EVERYONE who’s an artist..and we thank you..and for this I’ll make you a drawing in honor of you!
Does it piss anyone else off that this song has like a tenth of the view of their other songs? Cause I think this song should have WAY more views than the ones they don't want to do.
I'm happy to find out after a few years I still remember most of will's lyrics, just goes to show how talented the man who helped shape my taste in music is.
I just love the passionate visual emphasis that Will performs in his videos! As if he's giving a visual representation of the emotions and actions he's telling and describing! Love it!
Lyrics: You Place Your Cards on the Desk But They Rip It Up in Your Face They Take You Like a Remote And Control Your Fate You Can't Take It and the Heat Starts to Tackle You Heart But They Don't Care About the Source They Just Want You to Fall Apart So Stand Up Let Them Know How You Really Feel How Can They Push if They Don't Know How to Take the Steel As You Rise From Your Heels and They Leave Just Say Go Away! I Don't Fucking Need You Anymore Wave Goodbye to the Chores Take the Cuffs Off And Breathe New Life Take It From the Men Who Denied As They Tried to Survive But the Enemy Began to Ignite The Rage Written on the Wall (They Were Burning) They Can't Stop Me When I Crawl (Now I'm Running) This Is the Heart of an Artist You Give Them Art Made of Gold But They Slice It Down With Embrace They Take It Back to Their Hive And Eradicate You Feel Beaten When They Shriek So You Break Down and Cry But They Will Fight Because They Use And Abuse You From the Start So Stand Up Let Them Know You Will Not Be Swayed How Can They Know How You Feel When They Don't Appreciate? As You Rise From Your Heels and They Leave Just Say Go Away! I Don't Fucking Need You Anymore Wave Goodbye to the Chores Take the Cuffs Off And Breathe New Life Take It From the Men Who Denied As They Tried to Survive But the Enemy Began to Ignite The Rage Written on the Wall (They Were Burning) They Can't Stop Me When I Crawl (Now I'm Running) This Is the Heart of an Artist Hold on Onto You Heart Don't Let Them Take It From You Just Reignite What Was You Thrive (Show Them That You're Alive!) In My Heart I Grieve For the Artist I Belive to Be Sent Down From the Sky Only to Be Met With Shadows They're Hidden in the Meadows Poisoning All of the Rye Maybe We Can Meet in the Middle Enough With the Riddles Treat Them as They Would Treat You They Came to Help Your Souls Deliver a Smile Through the Tolls Isn't That What You Would Do? I Don't Fucking Need You Anymore Wave Goodbye to the Chores Take the Cuffs Off And Breathe New Life Take It From the Men Who Denied As They Tried to Survive But the Enemy Began to Ignite I Can Taste the Charge From the Core So We Shout Fuck Them All Let Them Know That You're Not Pushed Around Let Them Know That You Are Divide Keep a Kind State of Mind And Speak It Through the Art of Sound The Rage Written on the Wall (They Were Burning) They Can't Stop Me When I Crawl (Now I'm Running) This Is the Heart of an Artist
omg this is so true I'm a song writer and my friend tried to take credit for everything so I left her and did my own thing so this song speaks to me it's a great song
Dark Gamer Girl what are doing with your friend that's a d move like why this song fits for you very well like my god why I can't explained how I felt because taking someone else credit is just triggered because you are an artist it's just like all the fanboys of any game like "fnaf" I don't hate dagames for making fnaf but this song is better than all of them because the message stay determined
I know how you feel Will I'm an artist myself and I feel pressure when making songs because I don't want hate I have to much of that in my life already so I try to please the audience and sometimes I feel like that the pressure keeps me from making better songs than I should be but Will I will never forget that your the true inspiration for me making music hope you read this and if you do hope you realize those people that tell you to make songs you can ignore them their not worth your time
Honestly as a song writer and story writer myself i really love this song my family isnt very supportive but listening to this song gives me strength and energy for the long run i will go through so thanks will for giving me the confidence i needed
3 years later. I have come back to this song while in another dark place in my life. I'm so glad i discovered this song, and then delving further into the channel and music you guys have made. Thank you
I don't know whether I should hate the haters because they made you feel this way, or thank the haters for inspiring you to make the GOD LEVEL SONG IT'S AMAZING!!
To all my classmates, batchmates, acquaintances, slightly distant friends, and anyone else who takes my talents for granted and decides to mock me either subtly, joyfully, or forcefully, THIS SONG IS ME VOICING OUT MY INNER EMOTIONS. SCREW YOU!
I love this and it's true, I feel your pain and to let you know that your not going through this alone, I am hear for you I have been through this and still going through it. Plus my friend is doing a animation on this is that ok?
We are 666K right now, the devil should be able to comment on how awesome and under appreciated this song is compared to your other songs. I mean, it’s been 2-3 years now and it’s still not at 1M views.
Ngl after coming back to this after my 4 y/o relationship ended bc I wasn’t good enough anymore in my ex’s eyes, this song really hit so hard and gives me hope and makes me feel understood… thank you so much! This is such a masterpiece
This song is amazing and speaks to me because I've been treated so poorly as an artist even when I start something new or jump on bandwagons to have fun and people tear into it and claim it as 'criticism'. There is a difference between hate and criticism. Criticism is giving bits and pieces of what you think would help make it better whilst hate is pointing out flaws and literally nothing else. As an artist I've learned to do what I love no matter what anyone says and ignore the haters. And you managed to make a song that perfectly represents artists cause you are an artist yourself. Amazing job, Will
HerobrineSings What you call hate is criticism, what you call criticism is constructive criticism. I can say "Your name is stupid, herobrine is a dull character from a bad game" That's criticism, constructive criticism is "Herobrine is a stupid character that's died out a long time ago, I think if you made an original name instead of riding off the success of an old story about minecraft, you'd be a lot better and more intriguing" Don't claim criticism is hate just because you can't handle a little bit of criticism.
Coming here years later to see this surpass 1.5 million views warms my heart. Let's hope more people see this and give his original music a chance. Long live IRIS
This man went bankrupt after he was sued for copy right. His whereabouts are unknown. If you know any information about this man, contact your local police station. Btw this is a joke
I love this song and my favorite part is when it says "treat them like they would treat you" it really is the best part but ... what can I say? We are talking about will of dagames and I cannot say that some song he has already written is not amazing, please never stop putting the same charm on all your songs,continue like this.
This song doesn't get nearly enough love. I love how this touches on people not treating artists like human beings. It's a huge problem and it's great to see someone call it out. Well done. And great job.
How does this man not have more subscribers he works so hard on his videos and his songs are phenomenal will you probably won't see this but you have talent man great job
I was hearing this while drawing And when it says " i dont fucking need you anymore" My dad comes in Good thing im wearing headphones EDIT: holy frick thanks for the likes
Why did I miss this song during my middle school years when it came out? Thanks a lot Will, this song helped me when I was depressed as heck during these days. I keep listening to your songs since 6 years now. You're amazing, keep it on man ^^.
No one could ever sing these songs better than Will No one could ever have the talent that Will has No one could ever ignore this RUclips Creator's story No one could ever ignore The Heart of this Artist
THIS SONG IS SO FRIKEN AMAZING....HOW DO YOU DO THIS??? YOUR MUSIC IS AMAZING WILL....... ITS SO FRIKEN AWESOME.........KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND STAY DETERMINED! AND PLEASE KEEP MAKING MUSIC AND VIDEOS FOREVER!!!!
I love how Will uses "you" more than "me"
His style is so amazing
this song
this entire channel actually
is my new reason to live
it HAS been my reason to live
to stalk my will and go to every livestream i can
Cassie Schmidt idk about you but this music kept me out of depression and probably saved my life
This entire channel (Well mostly all of his music) is pretty much the only thing I really ever listen to now.
Cassie Schmidt same here brotha

Yep
OnyxKing67 true, art comes in many forms, I would know, I am an artist.
I was not aware u was here
It’s strange seeing an SM64 machinmist on DAGames, but I’ve seen weirder.
This guy needs his own band, im not kidding. He can be a rockstar, a really good one too. He is one of the best musician i've seen on youtube.
Deamonfure he did have a band. It was called Onyx Colony.
True 100%
Well thing is he listens to alot of metal and heavy metal
He basically is his own band. And that alone takes talent.
I thought Caleb, Chole, and Will were a YT band of sorts
I just don't know what to say except: Will ... you're my hero...
Yes
Mine too 😣
Same
Great song, Will! I love all the different sections, and the production is tight

DELTA VGAMING no he's not
I'm an artist who is always belittled or treated like i am trash or even a robot. this song helps me so much. i draw to make people happy only to get some people yelling at me. life happens and i try explaining this only to be told to give up on my love of art and being a commission artist is how i make others happy. you don't understand how much this song helped me to stand up for my self. i began to love drawing again.
Same bro... Fucking same.
Dame this is what all artists feel
same bro
Keep drawin' man!
You're doing great!
You got the Heart of an Artist! >:D
This song speaks to me 😍 I love it!!
XboxGamerK it speaks to all of us.
XboxGamerK pls animate this song!
pan szyszka 444 I could do that for you
Well, i you are a content creator just like he is so i guess it would :) also i presume we are going to see an animation to this song?

DashGuy Probs yep
"you give them art made of gold, but they slice it down with embrace" that describes this song perfectly. I will never understand how such amazing original songs still get shadowed behind song about yet another indie game
Me listening to this when it came out: “Woah, this song is awesome!”
Me listening to this now: “Woah, I didn’t know you were in such pain Will.”
Keep rockin’ dude!

And this is STILL my favorite piece of music DA produced.
Maybe even my favorite song of all.
A sheer masterpiece that deserves more recognition.
This and Kings & Queens for me.
It just got remade, if you didn't see already.
@4Four_Studios I knew one was coming but didn't know it was already out, thanks dude. 👍
I think both this AND the remaster are awesome! I wanna make something like this, but I don’t know how to play the guitar or even write good lyrics, needless to say, both are amazing, Iris should become an indie show or even an animated movie IMO
Artists have the most powerful imagination
Musicians have the most powerful voice
we all have the ability to do these things
we all have imagination
we are all creative
none of us are better than another
we are all created the same
imagination is something really special we can always have
our voice makes things be heard
our imagination makes it be seen

I am a writer as well but I will admit all of my works are flawed but I enjoy them even though they are flawed
7 years ago today as of me writing this. It's been a momentous journey. I think I speak for many when I say IRIS has been such a big part in shaping and guiding me. Will has been the most inspiring and courageous person I've ever seen. And now the Resurrection is finally here. We are ready to descend again.
*TV is playing* "Viewer Discretion, is advised" *Will says I Don't Fucking Need You Anymore* Great timing.
Outertale Napstablook perfect timing but for music it is parental advisory explicit content
Honestly, this song gave me the feeling of independence, autonomy, dignity. This song express the more acybering (rage, inteligence, dignity, autonomy) of a person, counting that sure each people that feel this was pressure in the past.
This is an art master piece that demostre the human sentimental capacity.
I know I’m 6 years late and probably commented when I was younger, but I need to say this. I’ve listened to this song since I was young and since then, I’ve been through so much with teenage drug abuse and even getting abused by two ex’s from 16-18 and having to learn the hard way in my young life. And now that I’m aware of life lessons, i know what this song means to you, Will. Im not saying you did anything I did, im saying that I understand your feelings coming through this song. I use this song to help remind me that I should never lower myself to help ungrateful people who are only there for me when it benefits them, and that I should never stop putting my art out there because that’s what helps me and also helps others, if some people don’t like it then that’s their problem, not mine. I don’t have to please everyone, I just keep on doing what makes me happy and what helps me grow further as an individual, making sure I do what I have to do for myself is my maiden priority, not others. Basically, this song and some other songs of yours helped me. I rediscovered your music by listening to my old music and it brought back nostalgic memories from my childhood and it shows me how far I have come. Thanks for sharing your art with us and thanks for helping me get through the tough part of sobriety and helping me realize some important things that I need to keep in mind, you’re a special artist and an awesome dude💯
BEST DAGAMES SONG OF ALL TIMES!
You got such an epic face y'know (and a relly epic voice too)
Dude this is the most epic song i've heard!
this is reason way I listen to DAGAMES songs because he inspired everyone who want to be an artist. like you can be a singer, dancer, draw artist, or whatever you want. so DAGAMES you got my like
That's not what this song is about
PD2002 Music very smart catch in my opinion this song means don't let haters hate on you.
LawnThingsnoop Gaming I totally agreed
LawnThingsnoop Gaming so, I've been wondering this for a while. DAGames. does the DA stand for something? if so, what?
Diamond Armonda
i listened to this back when i graduated high school.
Now I've graduated college with a bachelors in fine arts. The people at the college were far better and treated me with actual dignity and respect.
Something I'll never forgive my highschool for was putting all my friends in the art class and not letting me attend that class.
That highschool really did squander my artistic pursuits and hopefully they all rot in hell.
So good riddence to high school, and thank you to my college for letting me tap into my true potential.
wow and damn
Artists are the purest of all hearts, they want to hold on to the color and beauty of this world and pray that what they do helps people see that in this, muted and jaded world. But when they want to deliver a hard message, they make sure that damn message sticks.
Im crying, it's so beautiful! ♥♡♥
F.Off
it meant "Fuck off"!
it´s not that.
i´m just sensitive to the comments about my nationality.
it´s like "yeah i´m a finn, so what, there´s no reason to start pointing it out.(also it sounds like you´r making fun of me when doing so)"
One year later, still one of my favorite songs. Amazing work Will!
3 years later, still one of my favorite songs.
Try 3 bro
Out of all the songs you have made, out of every single amazing song you have put out for us to enjoy there is something about this song. This one song, one you have put so much heart and soul into it and it shows. Hell, if you were to quit making songs right now (please don't) I believe that this song would be the perfect way to go out. Keep making amazing songs Will, I and everybody else will always be here to support you. Now if you will excuse me, I am going to be listening to this song. Forever. On Repeat.
why did this get only 7 likes!?
@@itsalex1485 i don't know
This my understanding of the song :
Will just wants to make music but people either criticise him for it , Force opinions like "this song is better" or people constantly requesting songs that Will just cant make . All that = stress .
Stress = The heart of an artist .
He also says "treat them as they will treat you" .
Some people are asses and treat him like shit .
But , hey . That's just my understanding !
I agree
control_dema that’s pretty accurate
👌
It makes sense :)
This fits with Rian Johnson and the last Jedi
As a writer, I feel pressured to write a story that makes others feel happy instead of writing what makes me happy. It doesn’t help that I was severely bullied in my childhood and I grew up thinking there was something wrong with me. This song has brought me to tears because it has made me see how I’ve always wanted to be. This song got me through an extremely tough time when I was questioning committing suicide. And it saved me. Having the heart of an artist and the mind of a writer has never made me any happier or any prouder. And for that, Will, I can never ever thank you enough.
this song basically speaks to every youtuber
PRIVATEPARITGAMING to everyone in general not just youtubers
PRIVATEPARITGAMING it speaks to scott(this feels like a sequel to i will not be moved)
sean veans Yeah lol I was thinking the same thing
everyone who shares there work really
Not just RUclipsrs, I think. It seems to fit with really any artist. Writing (like myself), drawing/painting, music, anything.
Will Ryan of DAgames
You will go down in history as the best music creator ever
Even the joke songs were good
I wish you luck on the road to 50 million subscribers
-Hayden a fellow. Subscriber and your Biggest Fan
Happy 5 Anniverary
:o
I feel like with the emergence of AI art, this song is just ever more important.
There is not alot of artists like Will because Will does not hold anything back. If he feels bad he will speak his mind through either his gameplay, livestreams, animations, basically whatever way he possibly can.
I completely understand the meaning of this song (I think). It's about an artist that get's demanded to make songs that he didn't really want to do. The artist makes a song either by request, or just a song he wanted to do (I don't know which one) and he gets hate from the song he made. Then the artist realizes he doesn't need them.
"You place the cards on the desk but they rip it up in your face", great analogy (or metaphors. I don't know which one). This quote describes what I said above about creating music and people hating it.
"They take you like a remote and control your fate", another great analogy (or metaphors. I still don't know which one). This also goes with people demanding what music you make.
Is this song reflected partly an you, or an artist in general? Sorry for breaking down parts of the song. I always love to break a song down to get the meaning of it. I love this song just because of the meaning it stands for.
Creeper Nation it's both
Alightminer 8 Yeah. This song can relate to anything really, like a RUclips channel, to a cartoon series on TV.
I think it's slightly autobiographical, because there have been so many people demanding more fnaf songs despite him having made so many good ones already and wanting to be able to move on. Obviously not just fnaf, but it was the main one for a while, and I think it was beginning to annoy him.
Samuel Watt Yeah. He got annoyed because of all the demanding people wanting FNaF, and only FNaF. Since anyone who creates something like a song, art work, cartoon, a RUclipsr in general, will get demanded to do things they aren't exactly willing to do, but are threatened that that demanding person will leave or unsubscribe if they don't get what they want.
This song is the best and the message is great dude I don't like people rushing projects and making them forced to do it but you told them that the artest are not puppets and they are people this is the best message that I heard all day :)
The fact that we’re getting a remake of this song next month… I’m so ready for HOAA: Resurrection
Will, of all the songs you have ever made, this one speaks to me the most. I am a Drag performer and, in most places, Kings are the dirt beneath Queens feet. I was lucky as my area offers places for kings to perform. I started November 28th, 2018. I have seen both kings and queens hurt because it doesn't match to people's standards of them. Some have even cancelled Pride shows because of these expectations and more. I am going to be performing to this song on Sunday. Bought it just for it since I listen to it on repeat via RUclips. I want to thank you for the song because, even though I know the meaning, I am happy it is so vague as it could be any artist. And I will be showing my art and kinda using it to help cheer up a friend who had gotten hurt by the system.
Oh my god, Will... This is the most beautiful song you have ever created. I have watched your channel for years and your wild soul always had a special place in my heart because you know what it's like to walk through this world with a sun for a heart. Take it from me, you a remarkable individual who I wish I had the fortune to know in real life. Please make more, and please never stop giving your all.
"AD THE LIGHTS GO OUT" and " HEART OF AN ARTIST "
really makes me cry because I'm always in this situation and THANK U DA GAMES FOR HELPING ME and it's like ur talking to me because it's like u r cheering up and I love your songs AND THANK U 😥😟😭
i too "ad the lights go out"..
This comment deserves more recognition
as an artist myself, i actually cried of happiness that someone knows how it feels when someone is judged by how the piece looks or how it sounds, so thank you will, thank you
This song really speaks to me since I'm an artist myself. I've always had fear of showing my art and passion to many due to them putting me down. I even got told to do a different career as a lawyer, doctor, etc.
But I knew what I wanted, my passion and my dreams. I love to draw my heart out, I want to draw and make cartoons later in the future. Right now I'm in college trying my hardest to graduate and transfer to university for my Multi artist major/ bachelor's degree to start what I began. I opened myself to others and now here I am, drawing still and determine to get to that goal. and this song, really speaks through my childhood and my time always hiding from everyone and the fear of failure and my outcome of my future. There will be people out there who will bring me down and step on my path, but I won't back down that easily, and I'll hold on to my heart of an artist!
The song that started IRIS. Looking back on this song, I'm so happy this was made, if it wasn't, it wouldn't inspire many content creators, artists, and many others to embrace the creativity in their own right, no matter what other people tell them
Will, I know you’re probably too busy to see this, but thank you. Thank you for making this song.
Thank you so much for uplifting me with your sounds, Will.
Never stop creating, you gold-hearted man, you!
God I love this song... In my opinion, I love they way it sounds. and the lyrics, they speak a big message that should be heard by many artists out there. But I could be wrong and not know what I'm talking about, take it how you like it.
I absolutely love your fandom songs, but your original works are just BREATHTAKING! You ARE an artist, Will! your music always strikes a chord with me (no pun intended), and I am VERY thankful that I found your channel when I did. Your music has been the inspiration behind so many of my own artistic endeavors, and I just want to say: Thank you, Will Ryan. for EVERYTHING.
Makes me legit depressed that this doesn't have as many views as it should ;-;
Share it
A million views. Happy?
Dude, thank you for this song. You're an amazing creator and you inspire me within my media to keep creating.
To be a creator has so many meanings for every person that believes themselves to be one. It's a difficult balance to strike. On one hand we want people to like us, we want validation that we are good in what we do, but at the same time we want to live and create for our own sake, for our own happiness. In the end, validation from others cannot compare to your personal validation of yourself. If you believe yourself to be an artist, no one can tell you that you are wrong, art is subjective. It claims it has rules, but all of those rules are open to interpretation, and "breaking" them can lead to finding something better, or something ugly. Art is experimental, art is expression and communication.
I once had an artist of another media tell me, and I quote, "I don't consider you an artist," after I had been creating content for him for two years. I have been broken down before, but that was the worst someone has ever hurt me as an artist, and that person still doesn't understand why what they said was hurtful, nor do I believe that they care. People have told me my content isn't great, or that it has flaws. Sometimes they tell me what they think should be fixed, why, and even offer advice as to how to go about it, or a link to a tutorial. Those people I appreciate, they have good intentions and sometimes I'll benefit from the experience. But there are people who are not like that who have called my art garbage, some of which are sadly professors that have no intention of trying to help their students, they're just there for their paycheck. There was one who asked me why I was crying, thought there was something wrong with me, after he erased my entire board three quarters of the way through a figure drawing class. Another one had me do at least a hundred edits so that my work no longer looked like it was mine, and if it wasn't "swiss enough" he would hurt my grade, adding in "requirements" that he never once listed in the instructions or verbally spoke of. And the most recent, oh he's a bad one, an international artist from Spain who picked his favorites and gave the rest of us barely passing grades, never helped us, all I learned from his class was from his TA, who actually gave a damn about us.
It's okay to suggest that I try something new if you genuinely think it will benefit my work, but to tell me that I am wrong is wrong in and of itself. There is no "wrong" in art, that's part of why people want it, interpretation and feeling is something no one can take away from you. There's "deviating from the standard, accepted practice," but that is not wrong, that is deviation and experimentation.
Will after I listened to this song I’ve read the tweet and right now..I’m crying because of how true this song is..and as fellow artist I say that you’ve done a BEAUTIFUL job on writing this song..every time I hear this song I tear up with joy knowing you’re speaking up for EVERYONE who’s an artist..and we thank you..and for this I’ll make you a drawing in honor of you!
Does it piss anyone else off that this song has like a tenth of the view of their other songs? Cause I think this song should have WAY more views than the ones they don't want to do.
Album Interpretations It definitely should have more views!
Album Interpretations Agreed
Album Interpretations THIS DOES DESERVE WAY MORE VIEWS!!
Album Interpretations Yeah. It pisses me off because he works hard to make these original songs and they're amazing.
Give it more time myt friend
I'm happy to find out after a few years I still remember most of will's lyrics, just goes to show how talented the man who helped shape my taste in music is.
I just love the passionate visual emphasis that Will performs in his videos! As if he's giving a visual representation of the emotions and actions he's telling and describing! Love it!
Lyrics:
You Place Your Cards on the Desk
But They Rip It Up in Your Face
They Take You Like a Remote
And Control Your Fate
You Can't Take It and the Heat
Starts to Tackle You Heart
But They Don't Care About the Source
They Just Want You to Fall Apart
So Stand Up
Let Them Know How You Really Feel
How Can They Push if They Don't Know
How to Take the Steel
As You Rise From Your
Heels and They Leave
Just Say Go Away!
I Don't Fucking Need You Anymore
Wave Goodbye to the Chores
Take the Cuffs Off
And Breathe New Life
Take It From the Men Who Denied
As They Tried to Survive
But the Enemy Began to Ignite
The Rage Written on the Wall
(They Were Burning)
They Can't Stop Me When I Crawl
(Now I'm Running)
This Is the Heart of an Artist
You Give Them Art Made of Gold
But They Slice It Down With Embrace
They Take It Back to Their Hive
And Eradicate
You Feel Beaten When They Shriek
So You Break Down and Cry
But They Will Fight Because They Use
And Abuse You From the Start
So Stand Up
Let Them Know You Will Not Be Swayed
How Can They Know How You Feel
When They Don't Appreciate?
As You Rise From Your
Heels and They Leave
Just Say Go Away!
I Don't Fucking Need You Anymore
Wave Goodbye to the Chores
Take the Cuffs Off
And Breathe New Life
Take It From the Men Who Denied
As They Tried to Survive
But the Enemy Began to Ignite
The Rage Written on the Wall
(They Were Burning)
They Can't Stop Me When I Crawl
(Now I'm Running)
This Is the Heart of an Artist
Hold on
Onto You Heart
Don't Let Them Take It From You
Just Reignite
What Was You Thrive
(Show Them That You're Alive!)
In My Heart
I Grieve
For the Artist I Belive to Be
Sent Down From the Sky
Only to Be Met With Shadows
They're Hidden in the Meadows
Poisoning All of the Rye
Maybe We Can Meet in the Middle
Enough With the Riddles
Treat Them as They Would Treat You
They Came to Help Your Souls
Deliver a Smile Through the Tolls
Isn't That What You Would Do?
I Don't Fucking Need You Anymore
Wave Goodbye to the Chores
Take the Cuffs Off
And Breathe New Life
Take It From the Men Who Denied
As They Tried to Survive
But the Enemy Began to Ignite
I Can Taste the Charge From the Core
So We Shout
Fuck Them All
Let Them Know That
You're Not Pushed Around
Let Them Know That
You Are Divide
Keep a Kind State of Mind
And Speak It Through the Art of Sound
The Rage Written on the Wall
(They Were Burning)
They Can't Stop Me When I Crawl
(Now I'm Running)
This Is the Heart of an Artist
Maja Linde Why did you bring Heart Of An Artist here
Maja Linde you do know it's a lyric video, right?
?
You know the lyrics are on the fucking video right?
WizardlyJew Heheh, well said
omg this is so true I'm a song writer and my friend tried to take credit for everything so I left her and did my own thing so this song speaks to me it's a great song
Dark Gamer Girl same
Damn just don't put up with people like dat. There jealous of you so that means u obviously have talent
same feeling here
Dark Gamer Girl what are doing with your friend that's a d move like why this song fits for you very well like my god why
I can't explained how I felt because taking someone else credit is just triggered because you are an artist it's just like all the fanboys of any game like "fnaf" I don't hate dagames for making fnaf but this song is better than all of them because the message stay determined
okay I'm very happy my friend can NOT write music at all
I'm happy I was introduced to his music.
3:20 i think this is my favorite.
Hunny you need to produce an album for yourself. Your voice deserves to be heard all over the world. It's incredible.
MissStrawberry732 He has an album on google play,itunes,and I think spotify.Its called press start to begin! vol.1
He was once part of a band by the name of Onyx Colony. If you want to hear more of him ;)
correct!
I know how you feel Will I'm an artist myself and I feel pressure when making songs because I don't want hate I have to much of that in my life already so I try to please the audience and sometimes I feel like that the pressure keeps me from making better songs than I should be but Will I will never forget that your the true inspiration for me making music hope you read this and if you do hope you realize those people that tell you to make songs you can ignore them their not worth your time
Amazing music video! Goes great with the song! Not to mention how amazing the chorus was, that was my favorite part!
Honestly as a song writer and story writer myself i really love this song my family isnt very supportive but listening to this song gives me strength and energy for the long run i will go through so thanks will for giving me the confidence i needed
3 years later. I have come back to this song while in another dark place in my life.
I'm so glad i discovered this song, and then delving further into the channel and music you guys have made. Thank you
I don't know whether I should hate the haters because they made you feel this way, or thank the haters for inspiring you to make the GOD LEVEL SONG IT'S AMAZING!!
Im straight crying right now. A beautiful piece, friend.
To all my classmates, batchmates, acquaintances, slightly distant friends, and anyone else who takes my talents for granted and decides to mock me either subtly, joyfully, or forcefully, THIS SONG IS ME VOICING OUT MY INNER EMOTIONS. SCREW YOU!
I love this and it's true, I feel your pain and to let you know that your not going through this alone, I am hear for you I have been through this and still going through it. Plus my friend is doing a animation on this is that ok?
We are 666K right now, the devil should be able to comment on how awesome and under appreciated this song is compared to your other songs. I mean, it’s been 2-3 years now and it’s still not at 1M views.
Lilac Odalasor I AM TRYING TO GET IT THERE!!! 😆
Ima share it to everyone i fucking know
T'is now!
Don't know what year this comment was written, but it's 2019 now and this song has 19K likes.
Ngl after coming back to this after my 4 y/o relationship ended bc I wasn’t good enough anymore in my ex’s eyes, this song really hit so hard and gives me hope and makes me feel understood… thank you so much! This is such a masterpiece
This song is amazing and speaks to me because I've been treated so poorly as an artist even when I start something new or jump on bandwagons to have fun and people tear into it and claim it as 'criticism'.
There is a difference between hate and criticism. Criticism is giving bits and pieces of what you think would help make it better whilst hate is pointing out flaws and literally nothing else.
As an artist I've learned to do what I love no matter what anyone says and ignore the haters. And you managed to make a song that perfectly represents artists cause you are an artist yourself. Amazing job, Will
HerobrineSings
What you call hate is criticism, what you call criticism is constructive criticism.
I can say "Your name is stupid, herobrine is a dull character from a bad game"
That's criticism, constructive criticism is "Herobrine is a stupid character that's died out a long time ago, I think if you made an original name instead of riding off the success of an old story about minecraft, you'd be a lot better and more intriguing"
Don't claim criticism is hate just because you can't handle a little bit of criticism.
I see pain in this song...but Will, you did a magnificent job by sublimating it!
Coming here years later to see this surpass 1.5 million views warms my heart. Let's hope more people see this and give his original music a chance. Long live IRIS
best song from dagames, yet...
@Lucario ever* ^^
When are you going to collab with Natewantstobattle? XD
Silver Cobalt That would be awesome
Nate already did a collab with Will..
What song was that? Those 2 are both very skilled.
whaaaaaaaaaaa I need to know. I want to hear their vocal tones mix.
"Never Just One" (in Nate's channel)
HEY WILL GUESS WHAT!!! I SHOWED THIS SONG TO MY BAND AND WERE GOING TO PLAY IT!!!
This man went bankrupt after he was sued for copy right. His whereabouts are unknown. If you know any information about this man, contact your local police station.
Btw this is a joke
Nooba Suckus Hahaha
Some have rumored that he was successful with his career and is doing shows somewhere in Washington.....
ajwantsapancake Awesome!!!!!!!
Damnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.
This describes how I felt when I left my old “friends” for ones who actually like me
This is what's real art
song
drawing
doesn't matter
it's still art in my book :3
snowykitten exactly XD
yeah XD
same
snowykitten ur a discord user!
snowykitten this guy and this song is way more then just that
Thank you, Will! This song means so much to me. Thank you. Just know that i will support 100% of the way, as i have for years now. We all love you man
Sound like some thing that would play when the protagonists would fight the player after becoming self aware after a genocide run.
I love this song and my favorite part is when it says "treat them like they would treat you" it really is the best part but ... what can I say?
We are talking about will of dagames and I cannot say that some song he has already written is not amazing, please never stop putting the same charm on all your songs,continue like this.
This song doesn't get nearly enough love. I love how this touches on people not treating artists like human beings. It's a huge problem and it's great to see someone call it out. Well done. And great job.
Four years and still one of the most kick-ass songs I have heard
How does this man not have more subscribers he works so hard on his videos and his songs are phenomenal will you probably won't see this but you have talent man great job
I agree!
I agree!
IRIS is over for now, and I cannot beleive how amazing this adventure has been. Great times. Will has the Heart of An Artist.
I was hearing this while drawing
And when it says " i dont fucking need you anymore"
My dad comes in
Good thing im wearing headphones
EDIT: holy frick thanks for the likes
Bxata Hardjoko I’ve had that happen to me before. But without headphones 😂😅
lol i am dead
Bxata Hardjoko my dad would kill me if he found out
Claws long tail same
Bxata Hardjoko That was a close call.
Happy 7th Anniversary "Heart Of An Artist" ❤🖤
1:11 Best part!
When you're in the middle of recording a song but the ADHD kicks in 1:51
Why did I miss this song during my middle school years when it came out?
Thanks a lot Will, this song helped me when I was depressed as heck during these days. I keep listening to your songs since 6 years now. You're amazing, keep it on man ^^.
No one could ever sing these songs better than Will
No one could ever have the talent that Will has
No one could ever ignore this RUclips Creator's story
No one could ever ignore The Heart of this Artist
As a struggling artist trying to get my name out there this song really helps me calm down through the dark storm
This speaks the life struggles I deal with. Will, you are a f’ing genius!!
Hater's: "You need to make this specific song because we want it."
Will: 4:18
One of the best DA Games songs I have heard so far
THIS SONG IS SO FRIKEN AMAZING....HOW DO YOU DO THIS??? YOUR MUSIC IS AMAZING WILL....... ITS SO FRIKEN AWESOME.........KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND STAY DETERMINED! AND PLEASE KEEP MAKING MUSIC AND VIDEOS FOREVER!!!!
Way to show how you feel Will! Amazing!
4:18 *best part*
YASSSSSSSSSS
Will's work is underrated.
