Cool cadmium fact, back in the early 20th century a Japanese prefecture experienced mass cadmium poisoning in the water leading to a disease called "itai itai". Something about reacting to heavy metal poisoning by calling it "ouch owie disease" just strikes me as funny
if i had a nickel for each time a song about toxic colours featuring kasane teto was released, i'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but its weird that it happened twice. it will assuredly be a banger song. Cadmium is a malleable metal, with an atomic number of 48. It is highly reactive as it slowly reacts with Oxygen and reacts with most acids. Cadmium is highly toxic when inhaled, giving flu-like symptoms and damage the lungs (high amount, short period of time), or kidney, bone and lung disease (low levels, long period of time). This happens when inhaling Cadmium powder or dust, probably when handling old/antique paints. Despite all of this, Cadmium Red, Orange and Yellow have been very popular paints since the 1800's, used by famous artists like Vincent van Gogh and Bob Ross. Liquid form Cadmium paints are still unsafe, as you should avoid getting it on your skin to avoid accidental digestion (source: googling a whole lot).
Me and my bf have a joke that alot of the classic vocaloid songs have an element somewhere we refer to as "interesting cube" as cubes show up alot in their videos, we are always v excited to see interesting cube and goddamn if this wasnt a banger already, certified classic 100/10 interesting cube in 3 interesting colours
Actually i wanna make sure its clear while im here we adore interesting cube its never a bad thing to see mvs are hard as hell to make and sometimes u just gotta put a cube baby thats how it goes!!!
Wanting to leave your mark on the world using bright and vibrant colors to stand out, warm colors as a form of warmth in life, but the cadmium can take away the life as well. Bonus points of having an interpretation with Teto as an artificial being, wanting to bring life, feel warmth that she can’t feel, at a cost. AUFH I just love media with good messages involving life and death and purpose and .
I like to think that the artist imagery used is literal *and* figurative. "Wanting doesn't matter when there's mouths to feed" Many forms of art, from illustrating to writing, don't pay well enough to provide comfortable living. But I feel this also extends more generally to anyone wanting to make change in the world; making a difference doesn't pay well. Following the status quo does. It requires sacrifice. But like art in all it's forms, is necessary. I think the use of cadmium mirrors this- it is a dangerous substance, but some artists still use it because they think it's worth the risk for a beautiful work of art. "I kept a bullet in the chamber for a rainy day/but whats the point of planning for it anyway?" "I've got too many colors for a shade of grey" The world makes us feel like crap. It makes sense to want to leave it. But we all have "colors," something to contribute to the world. Eventually we will leave it one way or another ("what's the point of planning for it"), so while we're here, we may as well contribute, even a little- "make it autumn every day," for even a single person. Sorry if this was rant-y, all over the place, sappy, or completely wrong, but I just wanted to share my thoughts and interpretations of this beautiful song. I'd love to hear other people's interpretations :)
Yes!! I totally agree with this analysis: cadmium yellow is super toxic to breathe in, and it’s a rlly great literal and figurative representation for the pain of an art career’s sacrifice and the fever-like fatigue of going past your breaking point until you’re super burnt out. The light fading from her eyes works not only for death and illness, but the loss of passion in a craft you’ve been forced to do too much (be it for assignments, completionism, or just to be able to sell enough to get by). In chasing something so beautiful and colourful, she’s become greyed out herself from pushing herself too far, with the only colours being inside her making her sick. (This could also be about pursuing projects with painful memories attached, like trying to finish a work you started with a friend you no longer have, ect. however I could also just be bullshitting that) The ‘what’s the point of planning for it anyway, I can make it autumn every day’ also seems like a good representation of a false sense of control in being unable to change career/mentality which eventually brings more harm in its monotony and other unhealthy strifes. Idk, of course this is all just my own dive into it, but this song is really beautiful in every aspect and deserves its attention to detail to be acknowledged… just like in the song itself. The piece is deeply resonating, and one of the best songs I’ve ever seen, both in its music video and the music itself.
An afterthought I wanted to mention: I understand that following the status quo, in many situations (e.g. office worker, store clerk, factory worker) doesn't pay well either, but it too requires sacrifice, even if we don't choose to sacrifice willingly. In art this probably holds more true more often, as evident by Hollywood, but again, not always.
I can NOT get over that section in the middle when the pace picks up and the colors keep switching from high saturation to monotone, it's so short but, but combined with how the previous section cuts off at the end, it feels like the problem being ignored is finally catching up to her and she's forced to face it one way or another. It's the payoff to a buildup we didn't even know was there, but it does it's job beautifully. I would listen to an entire song based on that section if i could, it's fucking phenomenal.
ngl i thought “watch me burn brighter ‘til i fail to breathe” was “watch me down water ‘til I fail to breathe” as in she was like. drinking the paint water
Recently, I got to 999 songs on my Vocaloid playlist. Once I got to that, I told myself I'm going to save my thousandth song for a really good one. I've been looking around for days looking for the perfect song. I wasn't even a quarter of the way through this one before I realized this is it! This song is so amazing, and I'm so glad it's the biggest milestone number on my playlist! Amazing job!! Time to listen to it on repeat for hours ;D
@@SpectralMagnolia Sure! It's here. Not every song is here because of weird TH-cam stuff but most of it is! th-cam.com/play/PLJC35z5BvWJ4JBy_Pu2mrKvg6og4jqWp4.html
I love the double meaning of the "Make the water work" line at 1:02 and 3:47. In the first case it refers to watercolors, or possibly paintings of watery landscapes, but in the second it moreso refers to Teto's own "Waterworks".
This is so freaking good dude. This is also so strangely relatable... you really wrote a song to hit any creatively inclined person in the feels. You got me BAD
being both a creative and being chronically ill makes this shove toxic paint RIGHT into my heart oh my god. i adore the art as well, it complements the sound and lyrics so well...everyone did such a fantastic job on this, great and relatable work ;_;
I am not at all joking when I say I think you are honestly one of the best western vocaloid producers atm. I just found you recently and holy cow you are levels above most other content in production quality and creativity. The more I listen to this song the more I love it, especially as someone who paints a lot. Like. Ouch.
having flashbacks to when i worked in an art store for 5 years and people would FLIP over how expensive the cadmium paints were :,) heavy metals are expensive, idk what to tell you!! banger of a song though
"god, I want for nothing but identity" hit hard. That's all I ever wanted. It's been a long journey trying to get there, all the while having mouths to feed.
This is my first song heard from you and it actually is fire??? holy crap I am in love with how melancholically warm this song is. Thank you youtube algorhythms for finally doing your thing right
Hearing part 1 of this in an early critique was a special treat, and I'm BLOWN AWAY by the final song. The jarring transitions between the movements are really something stellar. It reminds me of the last time I got acutely poisoned (affectionate)
hey. i don't know if you'll ever see this, but thank you. these songs are all that's keeping heart beating sometimes, so thank you for setting its tempo.
Holy SHIT, immediate fucking subscribe, absolutely phenomenal. Amazing art direction, concept, tuning, instrumentals. The repeated abrupt ending and restarting of the song, like it's a frustrated painter revisiting a theme or subject over and over.
I have found so many ways to interpret this song, and every single one makes me love it more and more. Toxic paint teto is the best vocaloid subgenre, no one can change my mind
The lyrics in this flow extremely well. I have such a low expectation of smaller artist using synths because they're so amateurishly written and don't flow at all, but this feels professional. I haven't really internalized the meaning of the lyrics, but the syllables bounce and aren't stretched or leave room for dead space. Very nice ❤
ok but can we mention how much better Teto's SynthV outfit looks in the OG blueish grey color??? Like she's literally half demon, grey is literally the perfect color for her
Your music is just so well made. So many little intricacies in the beats and progression. I really love how "how could anybody ever live like me?" Always cuts out for a half second at the end. Just makes it so catchy. Thank you for making this. Another little step to becoming a better me.
Beautiful song. Interesting range of messages. My take away was off someone who works in a factory making paint the conditions are terrible but the person needs money to survive and feed thier family even if it means they become ill. At the same time, the person dreams of using the same paint to create beautiful art. Wishing they could be successful as an artist so they could do something they love and live a better life. The ending is smiling again, dreaming of this better life since that is all she can do.
Everything about this song is so good and resonated so deeply with me as an artist… absolutely stunning art work, beautiful and touching lyrics, plus the captions match the video SO WELL. the “glitched” captions are so incredibly creative
JAMIE !!! IT'S PEAK !!! In seriousness though, this song hurts in the most perfect way possible, I relate way too much to some of these lyrics, and the writing is TOO GOOD !!
i cant express how much i like your music🥺🥺🥺 im so happy i found your channel, you're killing it UPD‼️ ive got a close look into the lyrics (cuz i was just dancing to the song without a single thought in my head this whole week) and i cant even express how much it resonated with me... im an traditional artist and it greatly affected my life both in bad and good ways. one of them is this exact feeling to leave something behind and finish all my works to the point i like them (at least to not be ashemed i created the piece), and also this really strange feeling of my "normal self" and my "art self" mixing in together and fight inside me, causing struggles and inner disputes over my life style... but this is not all. i've also got through a really tough suicide attempt a few years ago and barely lived, practically laying on my deathbed for 3 days straight (altho, as you can see im still vibing with you guys, healthy and alive💪) of course in this awful period i didnt draw at all for many months and i felt really bad about it, as if something great that brought me joy left ny body once and for all (or so i thought back then) and the little sped up chorus really resonated with these feelings of mine the death and the art you leave behind, the spark literally fading away from you and your body (whether a literal life or just your interest in art), you feel it running away like a sand running through your fingers... and it's scary. all those hours you spend on your work without having spare time for your familly and your own happiness. was it worth it? are you ready to die right here and there, leaving everything forever in the places where you settled it to be? do you want to keep fighting, mixing these colors, or just leave with only greys left behind? these are just my feelings and thoughts that had been awoken by this wonderful song ( i really REALLY like it despite how depressed it makes me feel sometimes) thanks for listening to my ted talk😳
rewatching this again, and I love the use of the subtitles in TH-cam itself! I thought those were oddly clean compared to the rest, and then wheeling back a little revealed the trick, it's real cool!
Spent a half a hour listening to this and.. Oh my god it's so relatable. This is genuinely a masterpiece of a song, and made me have so many feelings all in just 5 short minutes.
Lol, I work in a factory and I've wanted to learn how to paint for the past year, but it just seems like I never have the opportunity or time with the exhaustion from my job. I have mouths to feed... Fuck... I just want to chase that impossible philosophy
I've listened to this song on loop for weeks, but I never realized _just_ how much it applied to me until now. It's already affected me so much. Ahhh that's art. . . . .
The soundmastering is phenomenal. I started just playing these Remasters in the Car getting goosebumps. Machine Love, FIRE!!!, now Cadmium Colors; it scratches that "sparkly" high energy yet subtle itch in my brain.
*3:46* "Make the water work like you won't believe, Find a new world that can set you free." I know my immediate interpretation of this likely isn't anywhere close to the intended meaning (Which I imagine is more about general fulfillment in life), but that particular line is... very comforting to me. I have very recently been made aware that I will likely never have another chance to be with my ex again like we'd planned, and the last week has been kinda hard for me. Lotta tears. But the second half of that is... definitely what I need to do. My ex was my whole world, but he can't be anymore. I need to find a new one, whatever it may be, and set myself free from my grief. This is a great song btw, I really like it. :) (Also, I *love* the effects with the TH-cam subtitles)
this interpretation probably doesn’t make any sense, but this song makes me think of destroying yourself for someone you love. you know the paint is toxic, but you keep using it because it creates beautiful paintings. you know the person is bad for you, but you stay because you love them. you know this isn’t sustainable and you can’t go on like this forever (like how being an artist doesn’t pay well, you can’t live on it) but you can’t stop. and at the end, you finally realize you can make beautiful paintings with paint that won’t kill you. you can make other friends. you can survive without them.
ahhh this song is so sad and melancholic but oh so relatable!! you have such a gift for lyrics; your rhymes and words just tickle my brain in a way like no other. i also absolutely adore the switch up of tunes in the middle of the song, and i’m in love with the way you tune teto!! wonderful work jamie ❤
omg wow, this is so powerful, this inspires me. i want to produce something this meaningful. i really like this a lot, thank you. this obviously took a lot of hard work.
This is amazing!! I knew it was a song about artists immediately, and I love your lyrics; thank you for putting them in the description so I can read them slowly and process them like poetry and get emotional. xD I immediately knew it was an artist song 'cuz besides the visuals, I also remember purchasing cadmium paints for my art class 'cuz it was required for some painting/art homework. The line about "having mouths to feed" definitely made me think about how a lot of artists are struggling right now and even really famous artists who made an impact on the industry are now delivering food with Doordash or something and getting bitten by dogs. (There was a post about that.) I'm an artist, so this song hit me right in the feels, but the whole thing made me think about "dreams deferred" and fills me with a bittersweet feeling. HOWEVER, it's beautiful that artists continue to persist anyway and we get amazing stuff like this that reminds us of what's important and that we're not alone in this. I'm a newer listener but I've been loving your lyrics/MVs/songs, and I really liked the sped up part in this song too! Also I just love Teto's higher voice in general, in the chorus, so I'll definitely be listening to this a lot. Instant fave. Thanks for sharing yet another banger!
Its crazy hearing parts of your other unreleased work come through in tgese recent kasane teto tracks, hope the originals still see the light of day they rock
this is sooo incredible. teto sounds so good, the quality of the track, the lyrics..!!! ive only listened to this once but i can already say this is one of my favorite vocal synth songs instantly
Im SO late commenting on this and english isn't my first language as well but when I reheard this song today I just have to write something down. I really love the way you change Teto's voice, using a more "monotonous" voice whenever she's being negative or talking about her tedious and dangerous job, and a strong and desperate voice, almost like she was trying to scream so her words and touch the soul of anyone out there when she's talking about her passion.
I spend my hours doing alchemy
I'm dressed in all pink 'cept my gator shoes, those are green
hopefully everyone else will think this comment is as funny as i do in ~46 hours
oh my god!! marcy nabors!! hi!!
Holy shit it's THE famous Marcy Nabors of music fame
only got 20 colors in my pocket
Someone should make a cover with this line.
Cool cadmium fact, back in the early 20th century a Japanese prefecture experienced mass cadmium poisoning in the water leading to a disease called "itai itai". Something about reacting to heavy metal poisoning by calling it "ouch owie disease" just strikes me as funny
hhhjsghdjdg ouch owie disease 😭😭😭
Heavy metal 🤯
Bone hurting juice
if i had a nickel for each time a song about toxic colours featuring kasane teto was released, i'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but its weird that it happened twice. it will assuredly be a banger song.
Cadmium is a malleable metal, with an atomic number of 48. It is highly reactive as it slowly reacts with Oxygen and reacts with most acids. Cadmium is highly toxic when inhaled, giving flu-like symptoms and damage the lungs (high amount, short period of time), or kidney, bone and lung disease (low levels, long period of time). This happens when inhaling Cadmium powder or dust, probably when handling old/antique paints. Despite all of this, Cadmium Red, Orange and Yellow have been very popular paints since the 1800's, used by famous artists like Vincent van Gogh and Bob Ross. Liquid form Cadmium paints are still unsafe, as you should avoid getting it on your skin to avoid accidental digestion (source: googling a whole lot).
Can you please write the name of this song?

I'm never gonna be able to stop looking for interesting cubes from now on.
I'm confused, does "interesting cube" refer to a certain x-factor in the song, or is it literally "floating cube appears in the MV"?

Actually i wanna make sure its clear while im here we adore interesting cube its never a bad thing to see mvs are hard as hell to make and sometimes u just gotta put a cube baby thats how it goes!!!
Wanting to leave your mark on the world using bright and vibrant colors to stand out, warm colors as a form of warmth in life, but the cadmium can take away the life as well. Bonus points of having an interpretation with Teto as an artificial being, wanting to bring life, feel warmth that she can’t feel, at a cost.
AUFH I just love media with good messages involving life and death and purpose and .
Still thinking it's just media rather than the only means by which a transdimensional entity is capable of communicating 🤦
3:57 real jamie p-ers will grow to know this leitmotif very well in the coming months 😈
🎵baby do you know what you wanna hear🎶
I like to think that the artist imagery used is literal *and* figurative.
"Wanting doesn't matter when there's mouths to feed" Many forms of art, from illustrating to writing, don't pay well enough to provide comfortable living. But I feel this also extends more generally to anyone wanting to make change in the world; making a difference doesn't pay well. Following the status quo does. It requires sacrifice. But like art in all it's forms, is necessary.
I think the use of cadmium mirrors this- it is a dangerous substance, but some artists still use it because they think it's worth the risk for a beautiful work of art.
"I kept a bullet in the chamber for a rainy day/but whats the point of planning for it anyway?"
"I've got too many colors for a shade of grey"
The world makes us feel like crap. It makes sense to want to leave it. But we all have "colors," something to contribute to the world.

Sorry if this was rant-y, all over the place, sappy, or completely wrong, but I just wanted to share my thoughts and interpretations of this beautiful song. I'd love to hear other people's interpretations :)
There's no wrong interpretation of a piece of art :)
Yes!! I totally agree with this analysis: cadmium yellow is super toxic to breathe in, and it’s a rlly great literal and figurative representation for the pain of an art career’s sacrifice and the fever-like fatigue of going past your breaking point until you’re super burnt out.
The light fading from her eyes works not only for death and illness, but the loss of passion in a craft you’ve been forced to do too much (be it for assignments, completionism, or just to be able to sell enough to get by). In chasing something so beautiful and colourful, she’s become greyed out herself from pushing herself too far, with the only colours being inside her making her sick. (This could also be about pursuing projects with painful memories attached, like trying to finish a work you started with a friend you no longer have, ect. however I could also just be bullshitting that)
The ‘what’s the point of planning for it anyway, I can make it autumn every day’ also seems like a good representation of a false sense of control in being unable to change career/mentality which eventually brings more harm in its monotony and other unhealthy strifes.
Idk, of course this is all just my own dive into it, but this song is really beautiful in every aspect and deserves its attention to detail to be acknowledged… just like in the song itself. The piece is deeply resonating, and one of the best songs I’ve ever seen, both in its music video and the music itself.

As a long fan of Kasane Teto, I'm so happy that her newest voicebank (SynthV) is getting more recognition than before.
ngl i thought “watch me burn brighter ‘til i fail to breathe” was “watch me down water ‘til I fail to breathe” as in she was like. drinking the paint water
I heard "tread water til i fail to breathe", made the song so much more depressing, barely keeping afloat until she drowns
and here i was thinking she said "watch me burn water till i fail to breathe" like smh

Hearing part 1 of this in an early critique was a special treat, and I'm BLOWN AWAY by the final song. The jarring transitions between the movements are really something stellar. It reminds me of the last time I got acutely poisoned (affectionate)
I will definitely think of this song everyday in chemistry and art class.

im an traditional artist and it greatly affected my life both in bad and good ways. one of them is this exact feeling to leave something behind and finish all my works to the point i like them (at least to not be ashemed i created the piece), and also this really strange feeling of my "normal self" and my "art self" mixing in together and fight inside me, causing struggles and inner disputes over my life style...
but this is not all. i've also got through a really tough suicide attempt a few years ago and barely lived, practically laying on my deathbed for 3 days straight (altho, as you can see im still vibing with you guys, healthy and alive💪)
of course in this awful period i didnt draw at all for many months and i felt really bad about it, as if something great that brought me joy left ny body once and for all (or so i thought back then)
and the little sped up chorus really resonated with these feelings of mine
the death and the art you leave behind, the spark literally fading away from you and your body (whether a literal life or just your interest in art), you feel it running away like a sand running through your fingers... and it's scary. all those hours you spend on your work without having spare time for your familly and your own happiness. was it worth it? are you ready to die right here and there, leaving everything forever in the places where you settled it to be? do you want to keep fighting, mixing these colors, or just leave with only greys left behind?
these are just my feelings and thoughts that had been awoken by this wonderful song ( i really REALLY like it despite how depressed it makes me feel sometimes)
thanks for listening to my ted talk😳
Screaming eating the floorboards clawing at the windows (so normal about every song you make)
Been listening since autumn every day I'm so glad you're getting the recognition you deserve
Now you can make it autumn every single day!
Jamie Page has already made it autumn every single day for some of us.
I know what _I_ want to hear.
rewatching this again, and I love the use of the subtitles in TH-cam itself! I thought those were oddly clean compared to the rest, and then wheeling back a little revealed the trick, it's real cool!
This song tickles my brain.
Spent a half a hour listening to this and.. Oh my god it's so relatable. This is genuinely a masterpiece of a song, and made me have so many feelings all in just 5 short minutes.
Lol, I work in a factory and I've wanted to learn how to paint for the past year, but it just seems like I never have the opportunity or time with the exhaustion from my job. I have mouths to feed... Fuck... I just want to chase that impossible philosophy
I've listened to this song on loop for weeks, but I never realized _just_ how much it applied to me until now. It's already affected me so much. Ahhh that's art. . . . .
The soundmastering is phenomenal. I started just playing these Remasters in the Car getting goosebumps. Machine Love, FIRE!!!, now Cadmium Colors; it scratches that "sparkly" high energy yet subtle itch in my brain.
*3:46* "Make the water work like you won't believe, Find a new world that can set you free."
I know my immediate interpretation of this likely isn't anywhere close to the intended meaning (Which I imagine is more about general fulfillment in life), but that particular line is... very comforting to me.
I have very recently been made aware that I will likely never have another chance to be with my ex again like we'd planned, and the last week has been kinda hard for me. Lotta tears. But the second half of that is... definitely what I need to do. My ex was my whole world, but he can't be anymore. I need to find a new one, whatever it may be, and set myself free from my grief.
This is a great song btw, I really like it. :)
(Also, I *love* the effects with the TH-cam subtitles)
this interpretation probably doesn’t make any sense, but this song makes me think of destroying yourself for someone you love. you know the paint is toxic, but you keep using it because it creates beautiful paintings. you know the person is bad for you, but you stay because you love them. you know this isn’t sustainable and you can’t go on like this forever (like how being an artist doesn’t pay well, you can’t live on it) but you can’t stop. and at the end, you finally realize you can make beautiful paintings with paint that won’t kill you. you can make other friends. you can survive without them.
The number of views is criminal. Why isn't this viral
my friend likes Kasane Teto and has filled my recc with Kasane Teto as a result. I am okay with this as these are bangers.
Thank you for still posting on Bandcamp! It's great to be able to follow your latest stuff!
How does this song not have 1mil? for shame.
MORE TETO!? OMG WE’RE BEING FED SO GOOD AAAAA
as an artist this song is a banger ngl
ARTISTS STAND FOR YOUR NATIONAL ANTHEM ‼️
ahhh this song is so sad and melancholic but oh so relatable!! you have such a gift for lyrics; your rhymes and words just tickle my brain in a way like no other. i also absolutely adore the switch up of tunes in the middle of the song, and i’m in love with the way you tune teto!! wonderful work jamie ❤
The bass is my favorite element of this song, but I love all of its qualities in general
Goated MV, well done to the producer.
my daemon doll album just came earlier today, this is a we ball situation.
listening to this on loop for the next 48 hours, thank u for another banger jamie
I want to hug the version of Teto that exists in your songs so bad!
Thank you for serving realness with this song. Boots the house down mama.
JamieP more like Jamie PEAK
omg wow, this is so powerful, this inspires me. i want to produce something this meaningful. i really like this a lot, thank you. this obviously took a lot of hard work.
This is amazing!! I knew it was a song about artists immediately, and I love your lyrics; thank you for putting them in the description so I can read them slowly and process them like poetry and get emotional. xD
I immediately knew it was an artist song 'cuz besides the visuals, I also remember purchasing cadmium paints for my art class 'cuz it was required for some painting/art homework. The line about "having mouths to feed" definitely made me think about how a lot of artists are struggling right now and even really famous artists who made an impact on the industry are now delivering food with Doordash or something and getting bitten by dogs. (There was a post about that.)
I'm an artist, so this song hit me right in the feels, but the whole thing made me think about "dreams deferred" and fills me with a bittersweet feeling. HOWEVER, it's beautiful that artists continue to persist anyway and we get amazing stuff like this that reminds us of what's important and that we're not alone in this.
I'm a newer listener but I've been loving your lyrics/MVs/songs, and I really liked the sped up part in this song too! Also I just love Teto's higher voice in general, in the chorus, so I'll definitely be listening to this a lot. Instant fave. Thanks for sharing yet another banger!
THIS IS CADMIUM AMAZING✨
Listening to this album 3 days straight rn, pretty good
NGL after the first drop i thought i accidentally restarted the song for a second haha, another banger though!
Its crazy hearing parts of your other unreleased work come through in tgese recent kasane teto tracks, hope the originals still see the light of day they rock
This song is amazing
It's active and vivid, sound and happy song.
I wish I knew why I cry listening to this song.
real
THIS IS SO NICEEE AND GREAT AND I LOVE THE TUNING AND THE VISUALS AND EVERYTHING
this is sooo incredible. teto sounds so good, the quality of the track, the lyrics..!!! ive only listened to this once but i can already say this is one of my favorite vocal synth songs instantly
Common Jamie Paige banger. The tuning is sooo damn juicy and that neon breakdown goes hard as fuck
wake up babe, Jamie-P dropped another masterpiece
As jaime once said,
KASANEE TETOOOOOOOOOO-
Btw love the song, playing it on loop for 3 days now
*stares cautiously at my paint collection*
Im SO late commenting on this and english isn't my first language as well but when I reheard this song today I just have to write something down. I really love the way you change Teto's voice, using a more "monotonous" voice whenever she's being negative or talking about her tedious and dangerous job, and a strong and desperate voice, almost like she was trying to scream so her words and touch the soul of anyone out there when she's talking about her passion.
what an incredible song.. i just cant stop listening to it
