Day 2 of trying to get Quadeca's attention
🐐
Going well so far Mr quadeca (have my kids)

My mom passed away this morning. She fought hard for 7 years, and fought her hardest this past week. This album has been keeping me going. I love you Mom.
I’m so sorry 💔
one of my childhood friends died from cancer today. sometimes people leave too soon, and we don’t know why. love you man ❤️
@@Karnam0 I'm so sorry man.
@@AppleArmada in 2016 my dad passed away. i was only 11. i’m 18 now and i’ve learned a lot since then. i’m not gonna promise you that you’ll ever fully heal but over time you’ll be more at peace. i wish you the best of luck as losing a parent is one of the hardest things you can go through. this album gave me closure to my grievance situation. i feel content going forward and living on his name and legacy, and i only hope you do the same❤
it’s all good dude. life goes on, might as well enjoy it to the fullest like they would hope we would.
This might be the album that propels Quadeca's career to incredible heights. I hope so!! This man's understanding of music theory combined with his experience in production is deadly, no pun intended.
Agreed the production on this is nuts
I’ve never heard production like this before.
ish been watching you since 2018, love your content and you really hit something good with your newest videos, thanks for the content over the years, also didnt expect to see u here

When you dropping your heat?
As of the night of writing this I’m in a horrible horrible mental state. I listened to this album from front to back for the first time ever and I can confidently say that I truly think it has helped save my life.
hope everything is getting better brother
I don’t know who you are but I truly hope you’ll feel better soon
hope you're doing better
ok
"I don't fade to black, I cut to static." That line foreshadowing the ending is so good.
But he cuts to black and fades to static 😭
I just finished listing to this. And I’m speechless. Truly I can’t describe what this album made me feel. The production. The vocals. The lyrics. It’s just so beautiful. I’m giving this a light to decent 2. Absolutely stunning.

SHEEP?? What are you doing here bro 😂
you have not listened to the album yet bro wait a bit before you comment

Sometimes I mistake coincidences for some divine message... I just turned 27 and have been on the extreme side of existential crisis. This album walked me from feeling extremely trapped and like a clock was ticking to being steady in knowing that all returns to the earth. The animation for sorry4dying in the exclusives channel was everything I needed. Life is scary, dark, chaotic, while also extremely beautiful and you really want to be listening to all of the music it has to offer.
This album also gave me full body chills which an album hasn't done in awhile. I know gospel chords with harmonic 808's make that basically programmed, but still it was executed in a way that I felt just so zen. I could have faded out right then and I would have known peace. Anyway I should lay off the adderall, gonna go hug my dog.
Those coincidences may not be divine, but they have meaning to us, never lose that.
As a fellow 27 year old I’m right there w you man. I think the moment 2020 hit we all had a literal quarter life crisis lul
@@adenizenabroad9593 I didnt even notice he said hes 27, I literally turned 27 two weeks ago, wtf?
About to turn 26 and same.
I believe you are not mistaking anything, in a grand universe so artistically designed, even mistakes have purpose. Nothing is a coidcidence and if you can find meaning in something then that's exactly what it was always meant to mean.
I think Born Yesterday this is one of the greatest songs ever made
One of the best posthumerous albums in recent memory.

Idk how else you describe this thing
This album genuinely feels like a story and the album itself feels like it has such a clear beginning/middle/end. I'm amazed at the buildup the climax in knots, and how the end of the song legitimately sounds like the knots unravelling as it moves into fantasyworld. so much talent
the pacing is amazing
I was expecting a lot of the songs to kind of sound too similar but nope, they all have a connective DNA and share something across the board but there is so much creative production and a sense of a story unfolding like you said
this album shocked me honestly didn’t think I would finish it all in a one listen but jeez

These visuals are the reason why quadeca isn't on my spotify wrapped.
Just play the album on Spotify at the same time as the video and mute one of them
about a year out from this records release and i still cannot find an album like it. one that speaks to me on the same level and truly expresses how i feel without being my own music. ive grown a lot but i also havent changed since ive heard this album for the first time. and unfortunately i think the parts that havent changed are ones that are harming me. but this album allows me to cry and process these things so that even if im at work having a breakdown because i feel useless and getting paid barely above minimum wage is making it hard to live life or if im sitting in my room just thinking and having suicidal ideations im able to feel like im no longer alone. this album means so much to me and im so so thankful that quadeca ever released such a beautiful piece of art and made me discover the type of music that i want to create and hopefully am able to live off of one day so i dont have to keep being a cog in the machine and finally escape. thank you ben
The only other album I've found that made me feel somewhat how this one did is called "Ghost with Skin" by Corbin, I'd recommend. Nothing will ever top this though, ever
You can try Crumbling by Mid Air Thief which is similarly produced
@@eccofk oh i love that record a lot but it doesnt quite scratch the same itch as Haunt You does for me.
its crazy how beautiful music can get when its not caterd towards anything other than the art it self
Felt.
Always come back to this album when I'm feeling depressed or down on myself and it always reinforces the fact that I'm here for a reason, and won't be leaving
Same man. I've been having a lot of days recently where i feel the same as you, but i find this album to be comforting even in it's dark and bleak moments. It's truly inspiring. Hope you're doing ok now
26:50 hit me like a speeding truck. I don't think I've ever cried harder than I did at that moment. so hauntingly beautiful... these fading memories barely visible, but just enough to be able to make them out. the people being recollected in this sequence rip my heartstrings right out of my chest, as if I once knew them...
I'm glad someone's finally talking about this part. The instrumentation makes me cry everytime
Same, I can’t stop crying to that part
yeah it feels so nostalgic
"he's getting away from me."
Wtf you cried?💀
already know this album is gonna change the way we do music
Bro shut up 😂
I don't know about that but we will see
maybe
💀
It’ll be a sick album but idk about that one chief 💀
You can tell the mental state Quadeca was in throughout the album. You can tell the pain, suffering, and loneliness he felt, but you can see the beauty he felt in it too. THIS is musically expressing yourself on a level that I don't think many can dream of because they cannot comprehend it to being with. Thank you, Quadeca, for your art.
As a musician not yet able to make the kind of music I want to share my feelings and express myself.... quadecas journey is inspirational to me. I will get there some day, I know it.
same here bud, just keep learnin and practicing!
Good luck, you’re gonna do amazing!!! I believe in you 😎
This comment for some reason really spoke to me. Last year I was able to gain a little traction with my music, and it felt amazing, but the more I thought abt it the more it scared me. I was so scared of failing to meet peoples expectations, because my whole life I had struggled to meet my step dad’s expectations to the point where it broke me. I hated my life, and even more so than that hated myself. Then as everything was closing in and I couldn’t take it anymore I was given a extended spring break that turned into a time of self reflection, and on top of that in the middle of that time hr left my life. No more did I have those expectations if what I was supposed to accomplish and who I was supposed to be weighing me down. Though as soon as I started becoming who I wanted to be and accomplishing the things I wanted to accomplish, I got that feeling. That feeling of changing myself and bending other’s expectations to the point to where I was making music based on what others thought I should sound like, and what others expected me to sound like. I realized then that my music didn’t represent who I was, so I stopped altogether. I wrote every now, and then but I hated what I had to say, because I knew it wasn’t what I had to say, so over the past 9ish months I’ve been taking time to learn how to make music that represents who I am, and write songs I can be proud of because ik they’re my words, and my feelings.
Idk why I just rambled for 20 minutes, but it felt good.
Do it for those of us that dream, but can't. Do it for us. Art as a service.
see you there
honestly it's been over a year already and i don't know what to say, i've written multiple comments under this video and none of them expressed what i feel about this album properly. my favourite album of all time by far, it's actually in its own realm entirely. this video as a piece of art is bordering on a spiritual experience i can't describe how hard it hits me.
I agree brother, as many great albums as I've heard in my life, this is the only one I can truly say changed me. It changed how I feel about life & death in a way I just can't describe. I think if I 2 hours left to live, I'd spend the first saying goodbye to my family, and the second listening to this album
id die to this album.
Voice Memos was made 3 years ago. Quadeca’s progression as an artist in such an unthinkably small amount of time is absolutely insane and I’m so happy for him ❤
The hell is that pfp?
i can’t take that seriously with the tyler pfp 😭
thats what happens when you put your heart and soul in your work and i hope i get to his level of motivation and work ethic, been here since before "wokr in progress" and goddddamnnn has that progres been inspoiring, truly.
I remember quadeca since work in progress
The atmosphere on this is surreal. It's scary how much texture there is
I hope you're proud of the absolute masterpiece you've crafted.
This is the most blown away I have ever been by anything ever
Well said.
I only listened to this album yesterday and I am not super-familiar with this artist so I may be missing some parts of conversation surrounding it, but I am surprised that while there is a lot of discussion about the particular details of the story being told here, I haven't been seeing a lot of analysis of what the underlying themes or meaning of it as a story is. I'm really getting the sense that this is, in some way, a metaphor for the way that experiencing depression and suicidal thoughts can effect not only you, but the people around you, even while being alive. I feel particularly heavily in this album, the tension between people's concerns when you confide your pain to loved ones, and the reality that they might never comprehend what you are going through, as well as the knowledge that telling them may just make them upset which leads to further guilt on the part of the depressed party. The conflicting feelings that those around you aren't doing enough, aren't caring enough, aren't going about things the right way, but also they are caring too much, they are going to hurt themselves in the process of helping you, YOU are going to hurt them. (Not to say this line of thought is true btw, just simply the way it may FEEL to someone going through this).
I also think potentially there might be a narrative here of killing yourself off metaphorically, by either cutting yourself off from a person or group of people (potentially, family), or simply by changing as a person and no longer being the person they once knew. I feel this particularly because this is a narrative between a son and a mother, and one of the biggest conflicts of growing older is no longer being the child your parents once knew. The ghost of who you were as a child still haunts them, even as you try desperately to carve your own path. The discrepancy between who you are and how your parents view you inevitably leads to conflicts, and in many ways the misunderstandings function in reverse too. The character quadeca plays accidentally kills his own mother out of anger as he loses track of who he once was, and afterwards he can only hear her voice distantly and infrequently, not unlike having a blowout argument with your family and proceeding to only speak to them through intermittent phone calls for a while. The character's desperate attachment to his mother and his past life despite claiming to be confident in his decision to kill himself earlier, may allude to his insecurties about moving into adulthood and independence. The conclusion of dissolving into the void as he accepts whatever concequences may come of his actions in the afterlife, may be the last of his childlike selfishness dissolving away as he learns to grow and take responsibility for the hurt he caused his mother, as well as him letting go of her as a figure whose life must revolve around him (ie anger that she is moving on despite clearly still loving and thinking of him, and having her own difficulty letting go).
But these are just some wild thoughts I have after only approximately one and half listens, perhaps it is simply a straightfowardly told story alone. I just enjoy reading too much into things!
The story is about suicide and what this does to you and your family and that the after life for quadeca is just as bleak and lonely as real life was. It's weird but cool stuff
Wow, this really is something special. You really are something else.
The evolution of Quadeca's expression not only as a musical artist, but as a person will never cease to amaze me
over half a year later and i still can’t make it through this whole album without crying 😭
been struggling really bad with my fear of aging, born yesterday, tmwlit and picking up hands have just connected in such emotionally draining and indearing ways that i really can’t describe how much this whole project has done for me. Had my friend take his life in January of that year, this and some special people saved my life and ill never be so grateful to how powerfully moving carefully written and truly cared for art is. Thank you so much for allowing me to grab hold of myself in moments i didn’t feel heard.
Keep goin
The first time I listened to this album I was getting ready to go to my friends dorm to get drunk and have a blast. A couple months ago that same friend committed suicide and this album started to mean something different to me. I can’t hear the last three songs without losing it. I imagine those songs as his final moments before moving on from us. Fantasyworld gives me some comfort knowing he is somewhere over the hill, at peace. Your music has meant a lot to me over the years. And when I need it, I’ll still turn on summit pt. 1&2 for the nostalgia and the will to keep going.
this is beautiful
This is so depressing but also kind of uplifting because you have something that connects you with your friend
This is an absolute masterpiece. Literally one of the best albums I've ever experienced.
nice
my dad recently passed….I can’t thank you enough for this album, I cannot put into words how incredible it is, how it’s going to help me cope, and how you as a person, an artist, mean to all of us. Ben you’re so talented, so inspiring, and most of all an amazing person. I know everything good will make its way to you.
Thank you

this album is so important to me, i lost my best friend almost a year ago and things have not gotten measurably better, no matter how many new people i meet or places i travel to or things i achieve, that grief always sticks by my side. quadeca's music is one of the only things that makes me feel a little less alone
no matter what we all find peace.
also if you got through that you can get through a lot worse if you push yourself hard enough, stay strong man.
"There is nothing that can take the pain away. But eventually, you will find a way to live with it. There will be nightmares. And everyday when you wake up, it will be the first thing you think about. Until one day, it will be the second thing." - Raymond 'Red' Reddington
Don't mind me reminds me of my late uncle. Who was sick but never told us, was hospitalized in a coma for two months and I couldn't do anything but be there. I regret the days i told him I can't be present when he asked me to come to his house and hang out... I didn't know it was his way to create some final memories before he passed away.
I love you uncle.
Bro went from dissing ksi to dropping amazing stuff like this it’s crazy
There are artists that have entire teams behind production, lyrics, and music videos. The fact that this is all done by one guy is incredible. The production alone propels it to another level. It's rare to have a concept album like this (especially with only one person responsible for the entire sound of the project) to not overstay its welcome, but this never drags or strays from the central theme.
It's truly an accomplishment, and I believe it speaks to how much work he has put into his craft.
I am here because Extra Crispy and BBNO$ said you where good! So far so good!
The cool thing about this album is that even though it has fewer streams on Spotify and other streaming platforms, people actually talk about it. I've had random friends tell me about this 'great new album' they heard, only for me to find out that they were talking about IDMTHY. Someone I know said it was the most moving experience he had all year to listen to this. So, even though its not as popular, per se, it happens to be one of the greatest achievements of the year. And it has an X factor that nothing I could find this year other than American Heartbreak had. Thank you so much, Ben.
Reading the comments on this video is really something. I’m reminded that music really is powerful in connection between emotions and people. I have to say this album was top tier. I have been able to hear and experience emotion while listening. All of us have found something different in this music. Yet still we are connected by our love for the music and the emotions it gives us. I love that people are loving this album and I hope more people continue to. God bless music and god bless Quad for making this masterpiece.
Thank you, Ben.
the shots in this movie are otherworldly, absolutely mesmerising
my theory for the album:
the album is split into 3 chapters divided by the talking segments at the end of select song
chapter 1: sorry4dying-picking up hands
quadeca is continuously reaching out to his loved one but they can never seem to hear him which makes quad sad and begin to reminisce on his days as a kid
chapter 2: born yesterday-knots
in “born yesterday” quadeca begins to get frustrated because no matter how hard he tries, he can never reach out to his loved ones. in “house settling” i think his loved ones may have moved out of the house that quadeca grew up in but quad can’t follow them so he feels betrayed and repeats the phrase “dead to me” aimed toward his loved ones. in “knots” quad reaches a breaking point in frustration and anger that ends in him feeling defeated and losing all hope
chapter 3: fantasyworld-cassini’s division
in quadeca’s hopelessness he dreams up a perfect and safe place aka his “fantasyworld” but he doesn’t know how to get there. in “fraction of infinity” quad may have an encounter with god who is more wonderful than any words that people describe him as which is also why the sunday service quire is featured. quad also discovers that the only way he can reach his fantasy world/heaven is if he lets go of all his anger and lets go of his loved ones that he’s been clinging to all this time he’s reluctant to do so until, “cassini’s division” where he gives one last message to his loved ones saying goodbye and i love you. which lets him finally ascend into the fantasy world and leave his ghostly life behind.
(cassini’s division is also one of saturn’s rings, signifying he ascended so far, mabye even into space or something)
(also in “knots” he repeats “i don’t fade to black, i cut to static” which is exactly what he does in the album movie and there’s like a whole minute of static at the end of the album)
Yea
Get more likes on this shit boiz
Incredible theory, needs more recognition
Yes!!! I love this literary analysis. Straight fax
good theories bro im thinking of making a video breaking down idmthy lemme know if you want to help!
This album is like every stage of grief, but if someone was holding your hand and walking you through it.
If you ever want me to shut up just play this album and my brain shuts down all i feel is all of the emotions ive ever felt. drowning me.
You could listen to this album 100 times and still hear something new through all those magnificent layers
Lost my childhood best friend beginning of this year and after I felt like a ghost, this album really capitulates how I was feeling, this masterpiece resonates with me especially FantasyWorld. Quadeca words cannot describe how Im feeling and Im thankful that you released this masterpiece and I pray and hope you achieve whatever goals you set for yourself, and to anyone reading this, just appreciate the album, no hate just love please

Just.. thank you for making something as beautiful, tragic, vulnerable and genuine as this. Art like this is honestly where I find meaning in life and I'm genuinely so thankful it exists. I will carry this experience with me for a long time, as I did with your last record. Much love.
I cosign this, to call this album a masterpiece would be an understatement but I don't know how better to describe it
It's right up there when Corey Feldman's stuff. It was recorded in the same studio. 😂
Hey Quad, just wanted to tell you how much this album means to me. I've been living with a speech disorder all my life, which suddenly got way worse a couple of years ago. Because of this I became very closed off to my friends and family since it was so difficult to communicate. Often feeling like I didn't exist, like I didn't matter or have any impact on the world. So many dark thoughts clouded my mind permanently: feeling like my 'past life' was gone, feeling like I had no future, and persistent suicidal ideations. This album perfectly encapsulated all those complex emotions in a way that I truly felt like I wasn't alone. Thank you Quad. Hope ur doing well.
PS. I've began speech therapy and am slowly getting better. There is light at the end of the tunnel. :)
Hope all leads to happiness for you
❤
There is light at the end of the tunnel
You got this

There's no one that sounds like this right now. Production is insane
Fun story: I played the first 2 singles for my dad last night and he typically shits on all the new music I bring to him. He was BLOWN AWAY. Said it’s some of the most creative and well produced music he’s ever heard. When you have my dads approval you know you did something right! Love you Quad
W dad
This specific part at 46:18 felt like the universe was staring back at me when looking at the stars.
Holy shit
Honestly Relatatble

This album is just incredible and inspiring. More than half a year has passed since I stumbled upon Quadeca and his work, but only now I was able to fully experience what was invested in this masterpiece. I would like to express my gratitude to you for the work you have done and the impressions you have provided. This is truly a new level in music for me. After getting acquainted with I Didn't Mean To Haunt You, I can no longer perceive any other music as fully as this album (and not at all because other music is like bad, but because Quad takes too high). Each song here is endowed with its own mood, message and feelings of the author, although not every song is revealed the first time. It can be seen that a lot was really invested in this album, and invested not in vain. After listening to your older work, I was just shocked at how big the gap between the old and new releases is (in a good way). In general, I'm really inspired by IDMTHY, this album made a different person out of me and brought me to a new level of understanding of art. I am proud that as a carefree teenager in an indeterminate period of growing up, I completely accidentally stumbled upon "Tell Me A Joke" during a bus ride, and what it all led to. Thank you Quadeca, I will definitely follow your further development as an artist and look forward to further releases.
100% convinced this man travelled to another universe to produce this album
without any exaggeration, the greatest album I have ever heard. I think I'm going to listen to this for the rest of my life. I know this sounds extremely dramatic for it just coming out. But I don't care that's how much this album has connected with me. Genuinely just thank you Quadeca. I'm sorry for all you had to go through to make music this beautiful.
People are so quick to dismiss Quadeca. Looking through rate your music I see "he's just glitch pop Bon Iver" "he's just copying Lil peep" and "he's copying Godspeed you!" Just because he's a TH-camr he can't be authentic in so many people's eyes and that really sucks because what you have done here is amazing, groundbreaking and clearly you! There are no words to describe how excited this album made me as a producer. Using the crushed vocals and blasting compressed drums creates this harsh feeling like you are trapped just outside the border of where you want to be. You tastefully and beautifully created exactly the feeling it seems like you set out to and that is pretty damn amazing. I love this piece and I think this will be looked at as a land mark in self-produced music. You are an artist man and a great one!
Genuinely one of the best albums I've ever listened to.
I don't listen to music too much, but I've never had an album that hits every time like it's my first listen. Discovered it thanks to Brad and it became my absolute favorite since then.
I can't describe how it makes me feel. Life has been really tough lately. For the past two years I've been loosing more and more - pets, best friends, family members, to the point where everyone who helped me or evoked emotions in me isn't here anymore. I have my mom, my grandma, my internet best friend and my gf. I can't imagine loosing any of them, but life goes the way it wants and I'm 95% sure that pretty soon I'd loose 2/4 of people I've mentioned above due to different reasons. I don't have hope for anything else that I have in my life, I'm not even sure that I will be alive for 1-2 more years myself. Something I get from listening to the album is the thought that I'm alive right now. It doesn't matter what's going to happen tomorrow, if my life gets a bad ending, it doesn't really matter. I tried, I experienced what I could, I had tons of great memories, I lived it the way I chose and I'm happy about it. I know it might sound like a negative thing, but this comforting feeling is something that saves me to this moment. This is by far the strongest effect that I've got from listening to music. Thank you. You deserve every bit of support you get, I hope you have a big future.
i ain't reading allat lol
damn, i feel ya man. i won't go in on what i've gone through since this is about you. hope everything is ok rn, gl on what you wanna do.
i'm glad this is helping you like me and many other people, good bye.
Happy 1st birthday to this amazing piece of art that deeply and profoundly changed my life. I have never been more affected by any piece of art, any type of music, or any album more than this. Thank you so much Quadeca for this beautiful album.
Same here, this album changed me

"Begging me to let you go, without letting go of you. So I can make that void just a little bit brighter for when you see it, until next time." The exact reason why he isn't with his mom in the real life AND afterlife is because he is not letting go. His problems are not being fixed the more he tries to take action. All he had to do in real-life was calm down and let go, yet he let himself overthink. The same goes with the afterlife. As much as he can try to make his presence known, his mom will never notice he is there. The only way he will be able to be with her again is if he decides to let go into the void. He is literally letting go, without letting her go. Making that void a little bit brighter for when she sees it, until next time.
this is smart. i agree with this statement
cool beans😎
i genuinely love the perspective of this album, it’s so unique in a way because I feel like most things that relate to deaths are perspectives on the people mourning the death of someone and finally we get to see what the death of the person feels and how they’re going through it as well, I love this album, thank you quadeca :)
i have anxiety and lately have been having panic attacks but this album genuinely made me feel the most relaxed and happiest ive been in such a long time, even knots weirdly enough. i love quadecas music so much and every album since voice memos represents an important time in my life for me. ive listened to the album once so far but i already love it so much and its only going to grow on me, i set my expectations incredibly high and they were exceeded by a thousand miles. to me this is a 10/10 album, i have 0 issues with it and i love every song so much. i hope you all like it as much as me
Yo this is the same for me I thought I was the only one. Tell me a joke literally calmed me down from a panic attack
Hey bro I normally don't comment on stuff and what not but I just want to let you know that you are not alone and I wish the best for you
Went through alot of panic attacks myself, it's starting to get better, took alot of supoort from my friends. Don't be afraid to reach out though it seems weak and futile
Panic attacks are the absolute worst, hang in there, you are strong
Wow. Even after the singles being so amazing this album hits like a freight train. After just one listen, I think this will end up being my favorite album of the year. “Beautiful and supernatural” is the perfect way to describe this project, and thank you Quadeca for creating this.
beautiful and supernatural indeed
if you are here from quadeca's story of filming the shot in the movie with the night sky full of stars above the rocks, the bug which hops into the light comes on the screen at 50:43 in the dead middle more near the bottom then climbs up to the top left corner of the screen before going towards where the light is coincidentally. he then hops into the light at 50:51, perfectly timed with "that presence that I've tried so hard to make known"...
Bruh this guy is my age and has produced, written and mixed this all by himself. Unreal album.
Congratulations and thank you for this unique, out of the world experience, Quadeca.
"picking up hands" it's so beautiful track idk why, it's such vulnerable track but not to the point like a "fantasyworld" so it's good in-between, it's scream desperate like "pick up my hand...", it's my personal favourite from you Quadonka
probably because of how creative and well crafted the lyrics are if i had to guess
favorite song
After listening I am just completely bewildered and off-put in the best way,
I let the album play, closed my eyes and turned every part of myself to the sounds of the music and I believe this might be the best way to listen to a project like this, throughout the album I reached a point of this psychedelic viewing that I have never experienced before, I witnessed shapes, figures, landscapes, all of it being pioneered by the music and sounds, my body and head moved and jolted without thought, but I was aware that it was happening, I fell asleep during the playing but I somehow can't remember the music stopping or skipping, the final song arrived and has left me shaken, I can't fathom how 8 minutes had passed so quick, during the song I witnessed the shapes warp and bend with the sounds, with the addition of some of my physical room aspects fading in and out of my vision, my vision somehow followed the popping and static noises until I physically saw my room fade in with my eyes closed, it was so odd and when I opened my eyes the image didn't change, it was just too perfect as I "woke up" just as the album finished,
Overall this album is an experience, the production is masterfully done and is completely aweing, the amount of artistry shown with the album and the film is incredible and Quadeca should really be proud, Thank you so much for making it.
Ima try this thanks bro
Words cannot describe how much this album has helped me recently. I'm going through the worst time of my life so far & I really don't know if I'll ever recover but sitting down & listening to this album gives me a sense of comfort even when it's hard to find hope. Thank you so much Ben.
Wish you all the best bro, I have little to 0 hope for this life too, but you got this, I believe in you ;)
@@SilentNyan Thanks man, I wish you the best as well.
the best thing i can think of to tell you both rn is you won't 100% ever recover, but some things you can do is learn from your mistakes and try the best you can in life, also be and do you man. no one can stop you but you. gl, i hope everything is good. i've been through it as well, it takes time, sometimes only you can help yourself. bye....i'm a little late....
I don't know how, but that was better than I was ever expecting, and I genuinely thought it was going to be a 10/10 going into this. The structure was perfectly crafted and each song was in similar vein but still so unique. The ending was possibly the best and most captivating album ending I've ever seen and I can only imagine the album will sound even better after second listen. Holy shit. AOTY.
Thanks for reminding me as Im halfway through my listen of this that I’ll only ever be able to hear it for the first time once
Brought me deeper into the music
It turned out so beautiful!
Quadeca just won the biggest glow up of 2022!
Dear Quadeca
This particular sound was not expected, but I’m not gonna be one of those people who judge an album for “not being rap” like they did with IGOR. This is genuinely the first album to make me cry. It angers me how beautiful this album is. I can tell that you put your blood, sweat, and tears into this project. You are by far my biggest inspiration, and I’m just righting this to let you know how much your music has affected me and that I hope you’re doing alright.
All the love in the world from NJ.
Sincerely,
Random fan from NJ
Great name, sounds awesome out loud to call someone that
Hope you stick with it
I got one…
I see you going FAHR 😂😂
Which part made you cry

I’ve been struggling with depression extremely bad for about the past 3 years and this was the album that got me through a few su1c1d3 attempts. Keep doing you bro thank you
Keep going man
proud of you for making through it keep going
Proud of you bro, keep moving forward.
bro needs to buy a hyperpopdaily promo immediately cause this is incredible and needs to be heard by all
hyper pop daily 😭
my auntie took her life when I was around 8 years old (I am 17 now). i didn't really connect or was close to her as I was young and didn't really have a care or thought in the world. I really started to think of her when I entered my teenage years. I always feel agony and grief every time I think about her. It really hurt my mother, losing her sister so young, and I couldn't imagine what she goes through when she thinks about her. this album and its heavy subject really helps me through my emotional grief having a relative that has passed to suicide, and also my personal trauma in my own life. from the instrumentals to the lyrics, quad really helped me with this. I really thank him. ❤
Bro did NOT mean to haunt me 💀💀💀
I'm not going through anything as tough as other people here, but when stuff really gets to me and I feel like my head is going to explode I just tune into this album and drift away. It somehow gives me an amazing amount of determination and this is something I really lack sometimes. Thank you Quadeca.
I keep on having this inner reflex to make something like any of the songs in the album, as it is a massive inspiration, but at the same time I lack any production skills and every time I listen to idmthy and I get this reflex I just chuckle and think of how great it is and how I wanna be as good at making music one day.
dont feel like you have to compare your struggles to others,, your problems are valid and you matter
@@thefiretheice9775 hm, that's actually a very sober point of view, so I'll take it :)
@@inakoto :)
@@inakoto go for it man, only one way to improve :)
When you were Quadecax8 making youtube FIFA content and football skits in 2015/2016.
In the past 3 years where you've seemingly dipped in and out to drop increasingly ambitious music. Real Thing & The man on my left shoulder are still in my rotation. I remember how excited you were about Voice Memos and how you'd talk about it in videos; I still love that project.
Your last project was a tiny bit like this one to me; I never got it at first. But then I remember I listen to mainly rap/hip hop. Mindless crap. So I started listening more and more to understand it.
FMTY was a masterpiece in my mind, except it felt like it had bits in between that were your producer/mix/master flexing to prove a point to previous critics.
After a couple of listens to this. I was semi-confused but knew there were more layers. So I listened to it on a loop while I worked. And boy. *Ben*.
Once this concept clicked, I started getting emotional. I lost my best friend to suicide around the time you started really blowing up on youtube in 2017, so this feels like it came full circle for me. I can also guess you're going through some the motions the past few years.
This project gave me closure to something that has always given me a chip on my shoulder for five years. I hope you find the closure you're seeking and more importantly, recover. I hope your next project is what you want, reflects your life as usual but in a way *you* clearly feel better. Your projects clearly echo your current mindset.
Keep doing you Ben, don't let her, or anyone else get you close to feeling like you have to do anything you don't want to. This is a masterpiece, and I know there's more to come. Take a bow, take a break, and when you're ready we'll all be waiting for the next acoustical brain child you birth.
Sending love. Always.
The production on this album is insane. There is no other album like this one. I don't know why I didn't listen sooner. 💜💜
I think this album is my escape for life when I need one
The fact this isnt at a million views yet is a crime against humanity...
music rarely makes me cry. fantasy world was just incredible. I literally have no words for this album I can't even begin to describe how good it is
I’ve said it many times before how great you are so I’m just gonna say this: Quadeca, you’ve actually changed my life and helped me cope. You influenced me and my music taste. I love just about anything you put out but this right here… perfection! Love you brother!
We the same 😭
same here
You know when you find an album that has such a unique atmosphere that you automatically associate it with all kinds of memories without meaning to?
Yeah that just happened to me. Thanks Quadeca.
i don’t think there’s ever been an album where i love every single track how did you make this man
Safe to say that this man is no longer a youtube rapper, but a true artist.
i've been missing out on this, holy shit. so good.
Never heard of quadeca before and decided to dive down the rabbit hole of his TH-cam channel. One hell of a maturation as an artist. This album is mesmerizing.
This just might be my favorite album of the year. The singles were unreal & the final result is better than I could've imagined. I'd love to see more music in this style!
quadeca…. this is the best shit i’ve heard possibly in my life…. i’ve been here since the insecure days and as you’ve developed as an artist i’ve developed as a person. Thank you so much for making this masterpiece❤ all love
It's been a minute relax
@@wojciechsawicki4733 i listened to it on apple music already dummy dumdumud

That’s def my favorite rn

Quadeca is the FUTURE of music

that outro left my jaw literally dropped, genuinely almost gave me a panic attack, this is the most terrifying immersive piece of art i’ve ever experienced, thank you
this is a full 3xperience. Probably one of the greatest experiences of my life. Thank you. THank you for opening up your soul, thank you for opening up YOU to the public,. This is so incredibly shot, I've been dabbling into film and this is like top 5 most influential pieces I've ever seen for myself. The cinematography is damn near exactly how what how I feel and what I try to go for in my photography and films. you completely murdered this.
the camera choices, the framing, the lense choices, when you chose to use handheld to when you used a tripod. its so fucking perfect my gosh
the costume design, the slow motion use, the transitions, i mean I'm speechless and I can keep going. I haven't even tapped in on the music lmaoo
completely agree, this is some life changing stuff honestly, and even after contless rewatches and relistening of the album I always found new details,
honestly I find two of the tracks here not entirely perfect, but It's still one of my fav album of all time
I'm so excited on what he's gonna do next, cause he's growing with every album, but at the same time I'll have patience, because greatness takes time, and expectations can be good and bad at the same time
