  • After covering both this and Karakuri Pierrot with Eleanor, I think I may have started a pattern of using her for clown songs... I guess she just has clown energy. Big thanks to Stages of Mania for the wonderful art! (Ignore the watermark at the top hhhhhhh)

    The more I listen to this song, the more it sounds like it should be in a musical. I’m diffidently getting antihero vibes from the concept of this song. It certainly tells an interesting story through the song.

    I'm not entirely sure of the songs actual story but the first verse put a whole story into my head I just can't stop thinking about. Kinda badass, so the king had a bastard son and made him the court jester as a way to humiliate him all his life for who he is although he didn't have a choice, nor did he know who he was.
    So the son figures it out and the entire time comes up with a way to mentally mess with the king and slowly expose all his dark secrets through his acts.
    As time goes on and the king falls ill and starts to die the jester tells him he always knew and the kingdom would soon be his.
    Damn I want this an actual story, or song or something.

      actually the jester's role was very important , because he was the only one to be able to talk shit about the king infront of him , beside close friends and family, the king often turned to him for advices because he knew the jester would tell him if his plan was crap. Jesters were also in charge to deliver bad news to the king again to avoid others of getting beheaded. Jesters were loved by the court and people of lower classes, because he was funny and made satire about the court and the king. In time of war , Jesters would be used to annoy the oponent , making them do more mistakes on the battle field. However Jesters weren't imune to death sentenc if one of his jokes hits on the king's nerves ( for exemple , a yo mama joke would be very dangerous , because you don't talk shit about a king's mother in front of him) . So If the prince became jester it would be very fun for him , imagine being able to talk shit about your dad and be loved for it

      @altman4636 2 года назад +9

      What do you mean? The vocals are way too loud. Go listen to the instrumental version with fukase and you'll notice a lot of detail in the song. A lot of detail you can't hear in this. The voice and the piano aren't the only things you should hear. You should hear instruments going in and out with volume. Plus the person who made this doesn't know what they're doing with the vocals. Honestly, Fukase may sound pretty robotic and rough around the edges but Fukase, unlike this new one, can sing more than monotone notes. Fukase has emotion behind it. This song however is just loud text to speech.
      The Fukase version has words and pronunciation of a real person, Fukase hangs on certain parts of words and drags them out for the purpose of letting the song catch up and sync, unlike this edit. Along with that, the Fukase version has many parts where the pitch of the voice changes while the word is being spoken. This edit however features a lazy version of that where each word is a different pitch rather than having the variation happen while it's being spoken.

    I'm so in love with this cover! No offense to Joe Swensen, but it's clear he has little experience with tuning vocaloids. Fukase's speech was so unfortunately muddled by poor tuning. But Eleanor is so perfectly tuned here!!

      @@gumiworms1328 I really love the line, “not all thorns come with a rose”. It turns the whole, “every rose has its thorns” phrase on its head. In the context of the song, it may be the Jester implying that the King was never good or just. He was just thorns without a rose; or rather, a rose that had only thorns and no petals.

    LYRICS:
    i am the jester, my job’s to entertain
    and it seems that soon enough it too will be my job to reign
    over all that you see, over all that you know
    as the king is slowly dying, any moment he could go
    yes the king is slowly dying, any moment he will go
    oh! sweet memories, come rushing back to me
    as i trace my fingers on these haggard walls within your keep
    though my exile still stands, i heard my duty call to me
    because i am the court jester, i’ve grown tired of my sleep
    after all, i am the jester, and i’ve tired of my sleep
    what good is a crown if the brow it sits on is that of a dead man
    i’ll wear my cap and painted smile with pride, my trusty baton in my hand
    and you will see me, sire, i’ll make my way back to you
    you cannot stop me sire, your time is up, i see right through you
    though resolute you may pretend to be inside your walls
    the people soon will realize that your feeble body can’t forestall
    the inevitable end that we all will one day meet
    you are human, you are dying, yes i know it’s bittersweet
    but you knew this day would come, and you can’t borrow steal or cheat
    yes, your maker gave you time, but you’ve run out, and soon you’ll meet
    i was awoken by a nibbling in my brain
    a single thought, just like a knot, a stone, a weight i can’t explain
    that sat there pulling me to consciousness and waking soon i found
    myself entrenched in ancient earth, with roots and vines my arms were bound
    and in this post-hibernal state my mind was filled with clouds of doubt
    were these my memories? or something else? and soon i felt the urge to get out
    tearing, ripping, painful as it was
    vines and leaves gave way easy just because
    all that’s left in this world is decay;
    soon i knew what caused me to awake
    with a newfound memory after rest
    i felt something bubbling in my chest
    soon i felt myself losing control
    peals of laughter rang into the distance from my soul
    i cannot recognize a single thing in front of me
    the world as i knew it now is gone, is this reality?
    absurd and nonsensical, fantastical and daft
    all that is left to do is sit right down and laugh, heeheehee!
    oh this world that i left you in
    has been tainted by your sin
    and as such i have now taken it upon myself
    to reinstate the reign of laughter and in health i will return
    oh i am making my way back i will return
    soon the people will remember the reason why they burn
    and the fires in their might will start to turn
    pointing fists and shouting out with no more reason concern
    soon you will see! the world will turn upon its head again!
    just you hope that you can see it before you’re dead!
    foolish king, you sit in empty meaning on your throne
    but in my time away you’ve ended up alone
    oh, all the power in the world will never save you now
    as the time at which your curtain’s called draws nearer, get ready to take your bow
    the age of reason is now drawing to a close!
    and now i, the mere court jester, will his majesty depose
    i will tip the gilded throne, in me the people will repose
    because i am the court jester, not all thorns come with a rose
    after all, i am the jester, and this future i propose:
    let the fool, let me, the jester, bring the olden tales to close
    let the fool, let me, the jester, a new saga now compose

    Though I've never watched it, this song seems like it would fit nicely in Friendship is Witchcraft, an MLP parody. Specifically with Pinkie Pie's bubbly and bouncy nature with a dark story underneath the bouncy music. Though the story fits more with Twilight and her taking Celestia's place as new ruler. (Watched mlp when little)
    It would make a good story in my opinion. Celestia growing ever tired and no longer being able to reign because of her age, Luna has been gone for so long would enable her to really connect with the public and wouldn't make a good ruler as she's still used to the old days. By the time Luna matures enough and is able to reign, she'll either be too old, or she will have the difficulties of raising the sun as well as the moon.
    Twilight, being a prodigie and her role in MLP FiM ( Friendship is Magic), is the next generation, indirectly. She's modern, has others to help her figure out problems, and, as she grows, will become syronger and be able to take on the ability to raise the sun and moon.
    Unless Sunset Shimmer comes back. Twilight's counter part. She will raise the sun while Twilight will raise the moon.
