Composers Comment - Steampianist
Oh My Lard! there was a lot of issues during the creation of this video... the computer had cluster errors and then adobe wouldnt let us export .avi file so we had to use image sequence what a drag! But that is all in the past now and here we present to you another track for the "Absurd Stories for the Rationally Insane".
The track is 7 mins lon i tried to shorten it but it seems it cannot be done the track calls for 7 mins. because of its narrative nature.
this will be the last track from the Absurd stories to be uploaded
because i am now working on the E.P. featuring Oliver
logical pink gizmo, twaddles and this track will be in the EP.
the EP will have 7 tracks which will be available in bandcamp which ive yet to make one and i intend to surprise and release them all at the same times and ill be finishing some covers as well and other originals that arent related to "absurd stories for the rationally insane"
anyway for potential updates follow my twitter

Artist Comment - Morb:
This is based on a story i made when i was younger. Here's an early version of the saleman:tinyurl.com/kqc...
It had multiple versions with a different ending for each one.So the ending for this one was made to be unclear because even I find it unclear. Its basically up to you guys. It depends on how you see it.

"Touched the ground and felt the sky"
He fell to his death and wen to heaven basically
No
Not really
I mean he died but we don't know where he went exactly
U N K N O W N He went into the skyyyyyyyyyy!!
Or, he touched the ground (Was made fun of by everyone) and felt the sky (proved the magic of his Umbrellas and flew~)
@@hele4299 :'D
How cute but incredibly morbid.
I find it so weird to see comments like "Poor Oliver didn't sell any umbrellas" or "Oliver goes from door to door"...when Oliver is not the Umbrella Salesman lol he's the narrator of the story, not the character.
Then why is oliver portrayed as such?
+Bobby Arias What do you mean? he's not portrayed as the umbrella salesman. First of all, he's narrating in the third person, not in the first person. Second, in the art here, the Oliver is clearly shown sitting on clouds and playing an instrument and he and the Umbrella Salesman look nothing alike. They are two separate characters
+MrMrMrprofessor good point.
Hey, I’m not dead! >:o
I mean shit, for a little boy he knows too many fucked up and depressed stories
Me at the beginning of the song: Aww, I'd buy an umbrella from himMe at the end of the song: AwW i'D bUy an UmbrElLa frOm hIM *gross sobbing*
+BlueMoonSkye I think the best part was from 3:36 to 3:47
And yes, this was extremely sad.
+Netherice24 ! Yeah, that part was great
sAmE
I was yelling things like "DON'T BE OUT IN THE RAIN HERE COME IN TO MY HOUSE", "ILL BUY ALL YOUR UMBRELLAS", and "YOU'RE NOT ALONE IM HERE COME HERE MY BOY LET ME HUG U U SWEET CHILD" and my dad thought I was crazy
Well in that case lets be crazy together and tell the salesman we're here
6:51
"Everyone was lost for words"
(In tiny print)
'except for this guy'
XD beautiful!
Sher-Bear Sheridan HOLY THIS IS 7:41 MINUTES LONG???
Tony Flamingo yeah?
Sher-Bear Sheridan Never noticed...
I snorted XD
D P is it??!!
This song reminds me about this guy in France that wanted to test out a parachute suit or something. No body believed him, so to prove his invention would work, he jumped off of the Eiffel Tower...it didn't work...
roxiegal123 and it was all caught on camera.
It make me think more of Franz Richelts death in 1912
But is it real some say it fake
Maybe an inspriration?
Not to mention at the end of the song you can hear the sound of someone about to hit the ground from a really high place.
I finally found exactly who you're talking about now.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Reichelt
"Everyone was lost for words" "Except for the guy"
WOW. WOW BRO.
Copyright comment
Theory time: the salesman was on hallucinogens (suggested by the mushrooms in the first long instrumental) and was convinced the umbrellas could fly. Oliver was the first to buy one of these umbrellas and believed the salesman about the magic. He jumped off a building with it believing he would fly, therefore dying. That's why he was sitting on the cloud. The people all witnessed it which is why they didn't buy any umbrellas. For the lyrics "but the salesman did in fact touch the ground and felt the sky" he hit the ground and went to heaven. Ok I'm done thnx for reading this rant lol
Kits, Oliver couldn't of possibly buy an umbrella, since he's not a character in the story but instead, he's the narrator.
@@natashahillocks-chambers4912 Little late to the discussion but pretty sure Oliver's narrating the story after he has died.
You could be right
but is this a real story?
If yes who is Oliver?
hallucinogen theories are lazy as hell
@@iloveanime506 Oliver is the vocaloid (I think)
at time 6:51 a tiny bit of text flickered above someone's head for just a frame when the lyrics says "everyone was lost for words." i clicked pause and play really fast and saw that it reads "except for this guy" oh my gosh
I JUST DID THAT
I thought it'd be something like,meaningful for the story and then it was just like "nah this is not important,I just wanted to say that this guy was the only one who wasn't lost for words,you can continue to watch the video"
i thought it was pretty funny XD
it was! xD
OMG I TRIED TO PAUSE THE VIDEO BECAUSE I COULDN'T READ IT, THANK YOU SO MUCH XD
Alex?
People don't appreciate things until it's gone.
@Diamondzfriend logic fail lol
When the video said 'Please look up' I saw.. A CEILING.
Same
Right? XD
Yeah? Well I saw a lightbulb!
I saw.... a ceiling fan. It was very anticlimactic.
Thought I was the only one who did that lol
everytime I hear this song I still think "why wouldn't someone want such a cool looking unmbrella?"
yupp .. especially the cute bear one.... >_
Kagamine Lover
you can even choose a favorite :0
+Concrete Giraffes why? u cant?
Kagamine Lover
I just can't pick favorites with most things ´\/(''ノ)\/｀
+Concrete Giraffes xD
What if... The umbrellas were magic...
But he used the one with the holes :0
+Rainbow Dipped Wait, so what happened? I'm a bit confused. So the umbrella salesman jumped off the building with an umbrella and then what?
Netherice24 ! He died.
Ik
+Rainbow Dipped Ah. Thanks. So they weren't magic so when he jumped he died (unless your theory is correct). This just got 10x sadder. Umbrella Salesman commits suicide in plea for someone to buy his umbrellas. This is sadder than Doctor Who, and there people die like every episode.
Netherice24 ! Yup that's about it.
My comment was just a small joke, I doubt it was correct xD
+Rainbow Dipped
Well, let's hope it was.
I expected a wonderful and beautiful song. And what did I get? A song that was more wonderful, more beautiful and magic too!
Thanks man
@Diamondzfriend sans fan oof lol

You have such a lovely use of him! I'm so glad to see you use my favourite Vocaloid this well!
i will look forwardto yournewsong
I see the umbrellas as a symbolism for insanity and he tries to get people to see from his point of veiw but no one wants to live that life. In the second verse the umbrella now symbolizes his brain with holes in it based on his lack of sanity and being left out in the cold because no one knows how he feels. When the salesman finds a plan to get the people to "buy his umbrellas" he thinks that be killing himself he will cause others to feel the pain he did ending with them giving him money for his umbrellas of insanity
wow...
MissMajora255 That’s pretty deep...
...
It seems like Steampianist makes songs that have a "secret meaning" or even more than one and that's amazing, I think that the music itself is there to "smooth" the story behind the lyrics
How is this not more popular?
I know right!
+roxiegal123 Like this has become one of my fav songs ever
Ikr
Gangsta rap is more popular apperantly.
Salesman I will take an umbrella. Even if they are not magic they look much nicer than ones you can buy in shops.
I know, right?
Alright, so... I heard this for the first time last night. But I couldn't think of a comment to post then; I was literally still, silent, and lost for words. Now that I'm right again, I just have to say... this is beyond gorgeous. The vocals, melody, story, and art make this a masterpiece. The change at around 4 minutes itself nearly wrenched at my heart, since it went from something bright, hopeful, and dreamy, and quickly spiraled into something ominous and depressing. Then it builds back up and becomes a sort of mix of both; dark yet, you can somehow still feel the dreamy determination and faith the salesman had behind his pitch.
I'd like to think that he both fell, and flew. After he jumps, he knows what the ethereal fields are like. The umbrella leads him to seeing the greatest sights, and experiencing the greatest magic when he reaches heaven. However, he doesn't really die, as his memory lives with everyone that took an umbrella, and to them, the salesman's undying belief in the umbrellas is the true magic they carry.
Agh, as I thought, it's really impossible to put my love for this video into words, and I don't even think I properly expressed my entire thoughts on it, but I tried. I'm still a mess from this, it's probably the first song that's made me tear up since I was a teenager. First you give me eerie feels with Wysteria and Flue Faker, then this one just goes straight into the heart. You guys are absolutely amazing. Bravo.
Ryu Tama thanks for the review dude :)
Hehe, I really didn't mean for it to be a review, but it just ended up making such an impact; I felt like it would be rude to not say anything. But it turned up being a lot longer than I thought. xD; Really wonderful work though.
By the way, out of curiosity, will there be any videos coming up for the other songs on your EP? I'm especially interested in the glorious goodies morb could make on a video for The Botanist.
Ryu Tama believe in the number 5 is all i can say
Ryu Tama Took the words right out of my mouth about how I feel about this song.
I loved this song sooo much ever since I first heard it and went like "GET A HUNDRED THOUSAND VIEWS ALREADY!!" It had 2,000 of them at the time first I saw it.
Well said,
POV: Oliver is reading you his favorite bedtime story as you question his sanity
Yes
I love the ending. Because it's fully up to interpretation. "Did the Umbrella work?" Could be. The text could both mean it _has_ worked, or it hasn't, and he died from jumping off that place. My first interpretation was that he died. But later on I realized, that is not necessarily the only possibility. It's all up to you.
Do you believe in Magic? Or do you not?
I personally believe in magic, and there's maybe magical girls fighting for us, against unknown enemies, and maybe some girl of your class is/was one
(My biggest dream is to become a magical girl)
The Umbrella Salesman is so deep and beautiful. I'm just sitting here admiring it, replaying it over and over
easy on the replay
^^' Of course
Moral of the story...
This man is most likely dead.
Y e s
1:01:
when the demand curve for
magic umbrellas
shifts to the left the supply
shifts right. the solution
is to lower the price and increase
the quantity in demand
i think.
1:13:
tummy is such a good song.
1:34: There may be something but I tried 30 times and all I saw was white if I paused at that moment
6:13:
what do you think happened? x3
6:14:
what happened?
6:51:
except for this guy
7:37:
farwell!
0:47: I have lead a life of only looking above
1:14: marine life in the philippines is bombarded with problems like oil spills, pollution, illegal fishing, climate change among many others most of those problems are caused by humans and their greed and apathy towards the problems the country is facing. we have realized that manufacturing companies exist to satisfy some of our wants and needs but in the process, manufacturing companies may be forced to dump their wastes in lakes or rivers, polluting it and causing sickness to nearby people and life in the body of water. it seems like an indirect fault of our wants and needs but we may also argue that the company should have been responsible in getting rid of wastes, humans conduct illegal fishing and it inflicts severe damage to coral reefs and its destruction leads to even more problems like soil erosion and landslides when a typhoon hits the country. global warming affects the marine ecosystem. when there are abnormal rise of temperature in coastal areas, it cause coral bleaching which is in danger when therestorm surges.. the economy of the phillippines is also being damaged because the country is one of the biggest fish consumers but fish production is reducing due to the damages inflicted to our marine resources.
1:34: Yes it's just white.
CrimRedaria what the fuck
Amber McLeod 1:34 was something about the phillipines
1:17
1:17 Do you believe in magic umbrella ?
I love the watercolor themed art it's so beautiful.
I just had a little bit of a theory.
Everyone already guessed he died. But...
There is a chance his umbrellas were magic.
Remember how after the first drop(?) the man uses an umbrella. But it had some holes in it.
Think about this for a second.
He used the one with holes.
The broken umbrella. The umbrella without magic.
...Just an idea.
He used a broken umbrella, with no magic, that resulted in his death...
The mushrooms totally changed my perspective.
Mushrooms.. are shaped like umbrellas...
Oliver was tripping, jumped off of a building, and died. He went to heaven and the people each bought an umbrella out of respect.
People already said this, didn't they?
me with you Oliver isn’t the salesman, though
I'd so buy an umbrella for this guy
I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THAT HE KILLED HIMSELF
NO
HE FLEW AWAY FROM THE CITY WITH HIS MAGIC UMBRELLAS
I DON'T WANT HIM TO DIE ;-;

Ohh wait this is what each thing said lol I'm stupid also thx owo
this is interesting, thanks for writing it down, fascinating how a political message about water pollution in the Philippines was incorporated in this...
It's gentle and calm, lovely, beautiful ballad!!
Yea, I think he died and they got umbrellas in memory of him. That ending sound scared the hell out of me, not gonna lie.
I have a feeling that you were somehow involved in the art for Madoka Magica.
right!?!
I thought i was alone :') (sorry for my English ^^')
He cant sell any umbrellas because he was knocking on doors with nothing behind them..
0:18 0:47
true dat
that UFO screech at the end scared me, I thought it was the guy falling downwards and
screaming
Jeez lol
"Please look up"
All i see is the sky bro i'm at a field what are you trying to make me see-
I CRIED
Let me take your hand and fly
Through the blue sky
No matter where i go
I will hold your hand and fly
Ill make you smile
Forever in time
I WONT LET YOU CRY
literally singing along.
Steampianist I love that song.
*_i hav e a t h e o r y_*
_so_
*_the umbrella salesman was selling his magic umbrellas, but nobody believed in them. the umbrellas were actually magic umbrellas, but since the salesman became depressed and lost his belief in them, they started losing their power. he wanted to prove the people that they were magical, but he couldn't even believe it at this point. but the people were begging and begging to him to prove it. the man was so stressed, he couldn't think of anything besides his umbrellas. were they really magical? the man decided to jump off a building to test them. at first, he was confident. but when he jumped, and saw the crowd, and realized what is he actually doing, he got reminded of the people's words. "magic isn't real." he lost his belief. he fell, and hit the ground._*
I first discovered this in grade school. I thought it was beautiful.
I’m almost college now. And I never noticed this as a kid.
I never realized how long this song was XD
Lmao

"Marine life in the philippines is bombarded with problems like oil spills, pollution, illigal fishing, climate change among many others, most of those problems are caused by humans and their greed and wrath/with(?) towards the problems the country is facing.
We have realized that manufacturing companies exist to satisfy some of our wants and needs but in the process, manufacturing companies may be forced to dump their wastes in lakes or rivers, polluting it and causing sickness to nearby people and life in the body of water.
It seems like an indirect fault of our wants and needs but we may also argue that the company should have been in getting rid of waste.
Humans conduct illegal fishing and it inflicts severe damage to coral reefs and its destruction leads to even more problems like soil erosion and landslides when a typhoon hits the country.
Global warming also affects the marine ecosystem.
When there are abnormal rise of temperature in costal areas, it causes coral bleaching which puts in danger when there storm-(?).
The economy of the philippines is also being damaged because the country is one of the biggest fish consumers but fish production is reducing due to the damages inflicted to our marine resources."

I hope I got everything but if I did any mistakes let me know ^^
This is the anthem of every posthumously recognized artist who were not appreciated much during their lifetime.
And, yes, I'm looking at you, Vincent.
Am I the only one who gets a 'Le Petit Prince' vibe from this?
Holy fish I see what you mean!
No but twaddles of a flue faker reminds of oliver twist if thi is somehow related
This is so beautiful!
thank you
I was ready to cry at the end. Congratulations for making such a beautiful and meaningful song :3
Honesty one of my favorites
Reminds Me Of The Happy Mask Salesman....The Song Is Nice And Creepyish But I Love It. So Beautiful And The Sound Of it, The Melody And Lyrics..
courtstar4 thank you and its in the level of creepy for children
And Really The Melody (I Believe Is What Its Called) Just Has A Mix Of A Little Amount Of Creepy And Beautifulness Mixed..
U DUnno- ErMerGerd....Maybe There _IS_ A Umberlla Salesman (No Shiz Sherlock- I Mean Something Else Whatever)
The sound at the end sounds more like the sound of someone instantly about to hit the ground rather than the sound of a UFO if that's what it's supposed to sound like at all.
I....I want to think this is a happy song and story....but I have a terribly feeling that there's some sort of dark undertone...that I'm not getting...
it depends on how you see it
***** I suppose one way to see it is literally, in a lighter tone, where his umbrella s actually were magic. Or you could view it as he actually did jump off and he died, and the people only "bought" the umbrella's after that. T.T (I'm paraphrasing from what I remember) I need to look into it a bit more. XD its discreet if it has a meaning but its a beautiful and light song.
I think that what he meant by magic was not litteral, but metaphorical.
***** I was thinking of something along those lines as well. Regardless its a beautiful song. XD
I almost thought the umbrellas were magic but "the boy touched the ground" fell and died "and felt the sky" it's either he felt the sky from falling or he's going to the sky 'caause he died. And the people bought his umbrelly from pity I guess.
This song deserves much more recognition, I mean, the feels are real here
Even though I have listened to this song numerous times... I still like to think he really did fly. It gets to me everytime because regardless of the somewhat ambiguous ending/tone, I feel like this song shows the saleman's determination and dedication.
To me it feels like this song is about the disenchantment of the world: when the Umbrella Salesman is younger he believes in the beauty of the world (the magic umbrellas) and the kindness of people, but as he gets older he realizes "there's no such thing as magic": the people won't buy his umbrellas, they're too busy with their own lives to care about him. To me the umbrella salesman represents all the people who are not heard in this world and who suffer in silence. Unable to cope with the disenchantment of the world the Umbrella Salesman commits suicide, and it's only after this happened that the people are willing to look at him. That is, until they are over the shock and move on with their lives.
The umbrellas were actually shrooms that get you high and make you see things. He got high and jumped off a building.
I...I literally have no words for this. It's beautiful, and... haunting, for lack of better words. Somehow, the ending actually filled me with dread.
Either way, bravo on this song to the both of you, this was a masterpiece.
“When the demand curve for magic umbrellas shifts to the left the supply shifts right. The solution is to lower the price and increase the quantity of demand....i think” idk what this means I just happened to stop on the frame on 1:01
When the demand curve for
Magic umbrellas
Shifts to the left the supply
Shifts right. The solution
Is to lower the price and increase
The quantity of demand.
I think
Nuuuu umbrella salesman I'll take them all ;n;
*sobbing is heard coming from the corner of the room*
Ok that will be 20$ plus tax and hidden charges and that would be a total of over 9000$ please
Steampianist TAKE MY MONEY *shoves money in general direction*
steampianist and kikuo are my favorite composers i love listening to their songs when i draw. :3
100% made me cry. Fantastic, a beautiful story and song.
The is one of the best songs. It's so beautiful.
Hey guys. If this song ever makes you sad, just remember that everyone was lost for words...except for that guy.
I declare myself a total fan of yours and Morb's work.
This song is not only a perfect usage of Oliver's library, but a great production, the sounds, the contrast of the melody... Excellent work.
Total like, subscribe and, if you release an album one day, be sure I'll buy it.
And I greatly appreciate your support
You really deserve it. I love steampunk music, as much as pretty well programmed Vocaloids.
And you combine both perfectly. I'll be waiting for your next production! (^^)/
He's got everything he needs to make an album - I mean that sales pitch...
Is there a meaning to this beautiful song?
+L Lawliet Probably
That Animation style tho.. Mesmerizing and very pretty.
morbid will be pleased
Oh my god songs that tell stories are the best things. I have a new favorite song.
Why are all of your Oliver songs about death?
why not?
@@hugeswingingballs he is twelve years old
Steam why would you do this I'm _cRYING_
While re-listening to this without watching the PV and I found that you made Oliver clear enough to understand while still maintaining his very smooth voice which very few songs do. I also commend you for not shortening the song simply because it is too long - It's horrible to see things cut down simply to make them a standard length so thanks for the song ^^
When the salesman had jumped and everyone was "lost for words", a frame appeared above a man and there was a speech bubble, in which I managed to pause at that moment, the bubble read "Except for this guy".
Like, just that one little detail can add so much detail to this depressing/happy song XD
OML WHEN HE SAID HIS UMBREALLAS WERE MAGIC AND THEN SAID HIS SALES PTITCH WHICH IS "FLOAT UP TO THE SKY ABOVE YOU," HE MAY HAVE MEANT THAT IT WORKED BUT NOT IN THEY WAY THAT YOU WOULD THINK. THE WHOLE POINT WAS IT TO HAVE YOU DIE THEN "FLOAT UP" TO HAVEN SO HE WAS RIGHT JUST PEOPLE WEREN'T UNDERSTANDING WHAT HE MEANT ABT MAGIC.
This made me cry. Literally.
I like how this song suggests a happy tone, but the lyrics and meldy turn the BGM around into a sad turn.
Lyrics cuz I'm bored:
A busy young salesman
Goes from door to door
Selling magic umbrellas
See such wonderous sights
But no one believed him
Not a single word he said
He knocked on all the doors
But no one answered him
This left the man depressed
For no one bought an umbrella from him
🎶
🎶
Then one day it rained
So the man used his umbrellas
But oh it had some holes
And rain water poured over him
This left the man in the cold
He's all alone in this world
And people doubt his umbrellas
They doubt its magic
🎶
🎶
No one wants his umbrellas
Theres no such thing as magic
🎶
🎶
So the man found his way to the top
Of a forty foot building
As he gazed upon the city
The people looked to him
Hes determined to show them all
He will prove his umbrellas are magic
With a firm resolve
And a strong clear voice
He shouted out his sales pitch:
🎶
4:57
Float up to the skys above you
It's a real birds eye view
See comets and shooting stars
Come and lay in the silver clouds
Come with me
let us bask in the great suns
Radiant light that warms our souls
Take my hands we shall reach for the heavens
Let us walk the ethereal fields
🎶
🎶
Everything stood still....
The city was silent...
Did the umbrellas work?
Everyone was lost for words
But the salesman did in fact...
Touch the ground and felt the sky
Then the people took each an umbrella
And left the money on the ground
This is one of the greatest songs I’ve ever heard in my life. It gave me chills multiple times, and of course I’ve cried. The art is stunning, the music is unique, and the story is one of the best stories behind a song I’ve ever heard. I don’t understand how talent like this is overlooked and people like Cardi B get famous for twerking and singing about money. This is amazing. Thank you for this masterpiece.
I love the style of this music video
When the demand curve for magic umbrellas shifts to the left, the supply shifts right. The solution is to lower the price and increase the quantity of demand.
i think.
Such a wonderful story. Beautiful music video and lyrics.
Thank you.
Gave me goosebumps :D Amazing work as always
I only found
"When the demand curve for magic umbrellas shifts to the left the supply shifts right. The solution is to lower the price and increase the quantity of demand
I think" and
"Crypte"
random morb stuff
THIS is my favorite song ever sang by Oliver.I'm in love with it!Awesome job!
Still waiting to see a re-mastered of this beautiful PV
I like how they said there is no such thing as magic in such a joyful tone
you must really love collages, it's in almost every single one of your videos
This song reminds me a lot of a Roald Dahl book for some reason.
Toda vez que eu escuto isso, eu me arrepio todo slk, muito bom
This is so cuuuuute! Steampianist has so much talent and so does Morb!
of all the songs sung by oliver steam's songs are perfect for his vocal range! :D same goes for kikuo's use of miku.
If you pause at the right moment where the UFO is flying. You'll see a text that says farewell.
Just put the playback speed to the slowest speed and you'll be able to pause at the right moment.
The song tells the story of a umbrella salesman who attempts to sell magic umbrellas. However, he faces constant shunning for his outrageous claims about the umbrellas "magic". In the end, in an attempt to prove they are magical, he climbs a 40 foot building and shouts out to the people below him his sales pitch. Upon which he leaps into the sky while holding an umbrella.
Afterwards, his umbrellas are left scattered on the ground, to which the people of the city finally buy them.
This is beautiful.
// beautifully written, it certainly is added to my TH-cam playlist Oliver's Greatest Hits! The ending to this song made me cry so wonderfully written!
I cried so hard at the end, don't take this the wrong way, but I thought of Sherlock...
Lying in bed listening to this and the chills are running up and down my legs like mad while my heart attempts to strangle itself. This is a masterpiece.
I love this song, Oliver is such a great storyteller, and no other voice can come to even compare to this vocaloid. This is beautiful, and it's the best price of music I have ever heard in this day in age.
So many ups and downs, but I still cried in the end. I had no idea what to think. "Did he die? Did they work? What happened?" But, I'm sure he's still smiling wherever he is.
That was bloody marvellous. Blown away.
Hey man! Thanks for giving it a listen
i don't know exactly why but this made me cry. Awesome song that I'll probably replay for the rest of my life
This will always be my favorite Steampanist song.
I always come back to this song, i do believe it is one of my favorite ones by you and is a definite gem!
The nostalgia
My favourite song of yours, both musically and morally
This is truly a great song and I love your art in the video the colours are beautiful
