As a teenager I got obsessed with Lovecraft, looked up a lot of stuff, came across the original and this. This was part of the soundtrack to a lot of my walks. Now, as a fully grown man child with real problems and access to alcohol I’m on a nostalgia binge and don’t have a clue how I forgot this. Just a belated assertion of love for this.
-Necropost time- If you open this in one tab and the original in another, and start this version about a third of a second earlier, the two sync perfectly. The discord between the two guitars is horrendous and the voices in combination are terrifying. It's glorious.
@@VetusDea revive this again. you can take this version and either lower it four semitones or up one and it harmonizes pretty well. the vocals are sometimes are discordant in emphasis but it actually kinda sounds like a newb to the cult listening to the hymn and going mad from it at the end. it's rather great XD Edit: of course you can also take the original and bring it down a semitone or up 4 for the same effect.
Hey there Cthulhu, down there in your sunken city You’re a billion light years distant and the stars look very pretty From R’lyeh So close and yet so far away Iä, Ië Cthulhu Fhtagn, or is that k-THOO-loo fuh-TINE? I can never quite remember, ’cause I’m not in my right mind Since I met you No one corrupts the way you do You know it’s true Oh, it’s what you’ll do to me Oh, and all humanity Oh, you’ll rise up from the sea Oh, kill everyone slowly Except the ones like me Hey there Cthulhu, I’ve been studying your gospel The Necronomicon, it gives me nightmares something awful Where I see The death of all reality It fills me with glee So when the stars are right, you’ll come and do your worst But that’s okay because I know you’ll eat the cultists like me first When you get here I know that day is drawing near I have no fear Oh, it’s what you’ll do to me Oh, and all humanity Oh, you’ll right up from the sea Oh, kill everyone slowly A billion light years seems so far Below the sea, beyond the stars Of these humans’ putrid souls you’ll drink your fill The fools will all make fun of me But I’ll just laugh maniacally ’Cause no one’s ever suffered like they will Cthulhu, I can promise you That by the time this cult gets through The world will never ever be the same Praise your dark name! Phn’glui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wagh’nagl fhtagn Boy, that’s really quite a mouthful, can’t quite cram it in my noggin Not today I try to say it anyway I feel my soul being to fray Still I away that frabjous day Cthulhu calay! Oh, it’s what you’ll do to me Oh, and all humanity Oh, you’ll rise up from the sea Oh, kill everyone but me Everyone but me
Great voice, beautiful harmonies. A sentimental hymn for our times. And, not to gush like a hapless fanboy, but... you had me at Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn.
Your voice is incredible. I used this cover as mood music for a Call of Cthulhu game I was running and my players were absolutely spellbound. Keep it up!
I didnt expect the lyrics to be so good..what an awesome parody! The singer puts a lightness to the song that makes it kinda creepy which fits perfectly.hehe
On a day where I'm stressed and feeling hopeless, I listen to this song, and suddenly my problems seem to drift away. They're still there, but the madness of eminent destruction is just relaxing.
I quite liked your voice, the echo adds to the atmosphere of the song. Sounds like you're in some type of temple or something, summoning 'your' dark lord. Great job!
@DarthTearees, there actually is. In the Call of Cthulhu, Lovecraft writes that people heard the cultists chanting a name/word. They didn't know what it was or what it meant originally, but PHONETICALLY what they heard was "Cthulhu." This means it's pronounced exactly as it is written.
***** That is true. But in The Call of Cthulhu, Lovecraft wrote that when the people who heard the chanting tried to write it phonetically, they wrote "Cthulhu." As a result, "Cthulhu," said exactly as it is written, is the closest we can get to the correct pronunciation.
Can you provide a link to a high quality FLAC or MP3 of this song in the video description? I'd even be willing to pay for it if you put it on a music website.
Wow to all the lessons I learned from my life being in front of people but at the Same time far away from me I was there but not there you weren't allowed to see me

Never has the voice of madness called so sweetly...
The voices in your head obviously aren't the same as in mine.
Surely not
You can found the Sweet Voice Sigil in the fidth floors of R'lyeh or in the houses of Ulthar.
I love this.
@@mlgproplayer2915 But it has been gone from Sarnath for aeonsl
Wooooooohooooo! That was AMAZING! I'm ... just freakin' gobstopped. Thank you! From the bottom of my twisted soul, thank you! ^(;,;)^
OH MY GOODNESS!!!! You listened to it! And you LIKED it!!! WOW! I feel so honored right now! Your lyrics for this parody are awesome, I love it! :D
Parody??
Dont know...
Are you kidding? It's awesome!
Your voice is just beautiful!
@@Baalslegion07 thank you!
I think I've found the best part of TH-cam.
I'm in the -weird- -best- eldritch part of TH-cam again.
Sarah Fht'agn it easy in Cthulhuville, that's us.

Now, as a fully grown man child with real problems and access to alcohol I’m on a nostalgia binge and don’t have a clue how I forgot this. Just a belated assertion of love for this.
I feel you, brother.
I can relate to a bit of what you described there myself
Thank you for listening :) You guys make me excited to keep recording!
Now we need a duet with her and the original.
Ryan Shaw I would cough up twenty bucks towards this purpose.
Ryan Shaw Fuck yes.

actually mixed it in my laptop and have quite the jam X3
Hey there Cthulhu, down there in your sunken city
You’re a billion light years distant and the stars look very pretty
From R’lyeh
So close and yet so far away
Iä, Ië
Cthulhu Fhtagn, or is that k-THOO-loo fuh-TINE?
I can never quite remember, ’cause I’m not in my right mind
Since I met you
No one corrupts the way you do
You know it’s true
Oh, it’s what you’ll do to me
Oh, and all humanity
Oh, you’ll rise up from the sea
Oh, kill everyone slowly
Except the ones like me
Hey there Cthulhu, I’ve been studying your gospel
The Necronomicon, it gives me nightmares something awful
Where I see
The death of all reality
It fills me with glee
So when the stars are right, you’ll come and do your worst
But that’s okay because I know you’ll eat the cultists like me first
When you get here
I know that day is drawing near
I have no fear
Oh, it’s what you’ll do to me
Oh, and all humanity
Oh, you’ll right up from the sea
Oh, kill everyone slowly
A billion light years seems so far
Below the sea, beyond the stars
Of these humans’ putrid souls you’ll drink your fill
The fools will all make fun of me
But I’ll just laugh maniacally
’Cause no one’s ever suffered like they will
Cthulhu, I can promise you
That by the time this cult gets through
The world will never ever be the same
Praise your dark name!
Phn’glui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wagh’nagl fhtagn
Boy, that’s really quite a mouthful, can’t quite cram it in my noggin
Not today
I try to say it anyway
I feel my soul being to fray
Still I away that frabjous day
Cthulhu calay!
Oh, it’s what you’ll do to me
Oh, and all humanity
Oh, you’ll rise up from the sea
Oh, kill everyone but me
Everyone but me
3rd to last line you forgot kill everyone slowly
"Still I away that frabjous day"
*await
Much obliged!
This video inspired an entire D&D campaign in my head. Wouldnt have worked out without your voice.
No way! That's absolutely awesome! I hope everyone involved has a blast
@@OneFlewtheCoup Yup! it was great, a huge twist on the whole "evil cultist summoning a dark god" campaign.
Hey Delilah is an awesome cover of this prehistoric hymn to honour an ancient.
Thomas Norman except "Hey there Delilah" would be a parody and not a cover in the case of this joke.
@@aaronorr5586 what joke this is 100% accurate they have passed it down for unknowable generations
You betcha. I'm a firm believer that talent should be rewarded. You have a wonderful voice. :)
This could be trailer music to a Cuthulu horror movie. Amazingly Haunting
Great voice, beautiful harmonies. A sentimental hymn for our times.
And, not to gush like a hapless fanboy, but... you had me at Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn.
Boy, that's really quite a mouthful, can't quite fit it in my noggin.
Such a beautiful voice and a beautifully uplifting song. *wipes a tear* May the Great Old One eat you first ;)
Hehe, I think technically it's a cover of a parody because I didn't write new words. I am glad that you enjoyed it!
Your lovely, feminine voice makes it all the more eldritch.
Bless you and bless his awful, unspeakable, obscene name. X
Your voice is incredible. I used this cover as mood music for a Call of Cthulhu game I was running and my players were absolutely spellbound. Keep it up!
Whoa, your voice is so beautiful. This is fantastically executed.
I can't believe it took this long for TH-cam to recommend this sweet maddening melody.
I didnt expect the lyrics to be so good..what an awesome parody! The singer puts a lightness to the song that makes it kinda creepy which fits perfectly.hehe
Truly a masterpiece of eldritch soothingness, your voice is beautiful!
This will always be my favorite and in my opinion the best version of this song.
I love this so much.
such a beautiful cover... I hope Eben has seen this.. you have a really haunting yet sweet voice
A friend sent me here. This is absolutely spooktacular!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On a day where I'm stressed and feeling hopeless, I listen to this song, and suddenly my problems seem to drift away. They're still there, but the madness of eminent destruction is just relaxing.
This is honestly perfect. The vocals, the voice, the lyrics, personally I consider it better than the original. Keep on with the good work!
Thanks!!!
I was hoping so much for a female version of this song. Thank you for this!
I quite liked your voice, the echo adds to the atmosphere of the song. Sounds like you're in some type of temple or something, summoning 'your' dark lord. Great job!
Or praying from an empty room in an asylum
@@thrawnnoconnection6931 look into the future, theyre one and the same for the call can never be refused for long
This is genuinely amazing.
I want to be feared by someone like Cthulhu is feared by unfortunate dreamers.
If i ever die, this is my funeral song. What's my wallet, i want to buy
This is so lovely and relaxing. Good job!
I absolutely love this version so, so much better.
Sounds almost like she would really believe it. Very good.
The shoggoth on my roof approves of this song
Absolutely amazing! You have an incredible voice and great expression. This deserves so many more views!
Great job, I have chills all over :)
This was lovely and so funny. Great job :)
Such a wonderful version! :)
That song deserves every parody and satire that comes down the pike.
My x and I loved these songs and the scary solstice songs
You bet I did! And I posted about it on my FB page, too. In fact, I'm very surprised that it still only has 46 views. Gotta fix that. ;-)
Beautiful! Thank you for this.
I'm not an audio guy, but the layering or echoing or whatever on the voice is extremely well-done and apropos.
I was thinking the very same thing.
DEAR GOD, THAT VOICE!!
under viewed, underrated. Nice work.
just found this love it hope you do more songs.
Love this
Thanks
please come to my house and sing dark lullabies to me.
It's time for the Old Ones to wake up!
I'm 9 years late! This came up in my Mix. great track! Lovely voice.
Thank you!
This is the best thing ever!!!
So beautiful
Thanks
Looks like I'm six years late, but I hope you're still singing, your voice is amazing.
That was great !
OHMYGOSH
THISISAMAAAZIIING!!!
Ive never wanted the arrival of our dark lord so much before this
I absolutely love this! Keep recording! *bashes subscribe button*
One of the few people who say Cthulhu correctly instead of saying Cathulhu.
There´s not only a right way to say Cthulhu.
@DarthTearees, there actually is. In the Call of Cthulhu, Lovecraft writes that people heard the cultists chanting a name/word. They didn't know what it was or what it meant originally, but PHONETICALLY what they heard was "Cthulhu." This means it's pronounced exactly as it is written.
I think you need an unholy guttural sack that humans don't have to pronounce it right.
Could be worse. We could be calling him... I dunno, 'Thulio?
yoji0 Well, maybe the way the cultists chant. But at the very least, we know how Lovecraft intended humans to pronounce it.
*****
That is true. But in The Call of Cthulhu, Lovecraft wrote that when the people who heard the chanting tried to write it phonetically, they wrote "Cthulhu." As a result, "Cthulhu," said exactly as it is written, is the closest we can get to the correct pronunciation.
Wow this is awesome!
well this is delightful
thats the best song i heard before !!
Y´AI´ NG´ NGAH, YOG-SOTHOTH H´EE-L´GEB F´AI THRODOG UAAAH
Whoa. Okay, Hell yes. Subbed.
4/10 "Not enough eldritch forbidden knowledge that makes me insane."
*puts lighter up*
*_Puts Candle Up_*
PUTS FLAMETHROWER UP
This is great! You should put this on Itunes
+Luke .Dickey Haha, considering I didn't write the original OR the parody, I'd hate to run into any legal issues. I'm glad you liked it!
I'm not sure why I love this, but I do. Maybe it's because I'm a huge H.P. Lovecraft fan.
Absolutely stunning voice, and you don't even call Cthulhu as Cathulhu.
Love it! I have both versions on my playlist now :D
Soon.........
Brilliant!
Shuffled music thought this was hey there delilah and was confused for a minute
OMFG I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jerith Blackstone thanks!!
Beautiful.
i love this sooo soooo much
Nice! The original was fun and funny, but your vocals give up an eerie tone the original lacked. Good work!
This be the superior version
this seems a bit more twisted then the original just because its a woman rather then a guy for some reason and shes singing so happily
Lord Orion madness can be quite excellent.
I think its mostly because she seems to have a lot of *exitement* for him, like she wants the tentacles
Really great .. thank you
Thats Beautiful. Cthulhu For President, 2024! Why chose the lesser evil!
That was eeeexcelent.
"it's what will you do to me" this phrase now gets an entirely different taste, when sung by a woman
Beautiful
That is honestly the only way to des(ribe this
Very nice music.
dude... Awesome.
cthulhu is so cool i like his sound
Very well done.
Dason Woodhouse thanks!
where is the maniatic laugh?
Whoa! Thanks! :D
This has driven the Google transcript insane!
Masterpiece ;)
I FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG!!!!! :') ♡♡♡
C Juggalo yeah, even looking past my undying love for anything lovecraft related, this is a great cover of a great song
Can you provide a link to a high quality FLAC or MP3 of this song in the video description? I'd even be willing to pay for it if you put it on a music website.
Up to your high standard and very well performed too.
Wow to all the lessons I learned from my life being in front of people but at the Same time far away from me I was there but not there you weren't allowed to see me
Thank you!! :)!!!
Quite Great :)
Awsome
As the Shoggies would say: "Soooooo coooool!" :D
