It's really amazing how nelward can capture the same vibe as Smash thru (the leitmotifs and instrumentation are similar) whilst giving this song it's own unique identity, especially towards the end. I loved the bits of "Proclamation" he added.
TH-cam sorta leaked the song early through the topic channel (or however that works, I'm not sure), but real ones will listen to it on the Nelward channel💪💪
I love how Lucid Screams is like a Moonside to Eat Your Dreams's Fourside. Also Smash Thru is my favorite song, not just from Nelward, but any artist, so this is the song I was most excited to hear, and I'm pretty pleased by it. Feels like a fusion of Smash Thru and Who's Gonna Call Ya Name
It really does feel like Eat Your Dreams is in the light of day and Lucid Screams is the dark of night. Two sides of the same coin, complimenting each other in harmony. I love when Nelward does more longform songs so this is pretty dope
love how intensely this feels like a "night version" of smash thru. super slick instrumentation/sfx work, and the reuse of motifs is some masterful stuff. highly looking forward to the EP, really GOOD shit as usual nelly 🔥
Contender for best Nelward song? The vibes are immaculate, and the inclusion of motifs from Smash Thru and Proclamation was SO GOOD. Can't wait to hear this in the full EP!
I put this in my playlist even though I know that I am inevitably going to be jump scared by the thunder every time this plays. That's how good of a song it is.
So many leitmotifs and callbacks to other tracks. Intro and outro remind me of Cave, from his work on the (now cancelled) game Postaloon Smash Thru Proclamation Apple Shampoo Gumdrops I just love how all his songs are connected, truly one of the greatest artists on this platform!
I remember when this first came out, I was aggravated that I couldn't find where leitmotif at the end came from. I had heard plenty of the Eat Your Dreams album when I was going through a tough time in my life, and just felt like I SHOULD know. But it wasn't until I realized that it came from a song I wasn't familiar with, Proclamation, which is sandwiched in-between two songs that I took true appreciation of just how beautiful it is to hear it again in this song here.
perfect, i've been looking for songs to convince the sky to rain with. this one's more persuasive the more i appreciate its foil to smash thru. an emotional, lunar arrangement like flowing water in harmonious contrast with the original's fiery pulse of conviction.
My favourite part of this is the bridge at 2:15, the electric guitar melody is so full of emotion, and the way it builds and develops is just so unexpected and wonderful, leaves me wanting more!
There's a nice soft emotion to this, nostalgic but still calming despite the thunderous opening. I'd like to think there's a whole world behind each song as they tie a story together.
I love this nelward song. it's vibe is floaty, but that leaves space for heavy emotional vocals at some points. and that drum sola (totally not guitar), with the heavy distortion, really cuts through the rest of the sound, really distinct, but not disruptive. where the solo picks up, it leads the song to a different place, which leads to a quieter bit after, which has those heavenly layered vocals. it's awesome
Reminds me of falling asleep to a small radio back in Vicksburg when there was an ice storm and the power was out, and all we had to eat were grilled cheese sandwiches that we made in the fireplace
Love how I can recognize motifs from Smash Thru. It's a nice touch the title spells the word through in the same way. Now I want a movie with a soundtrack comprised entirely of Nelward songs tying the story together. Like Mamma Mia, but with crawnchier beats.

Yea it sounds so cool!
Proclamation being at the end makes sense too because it's the reverse of Eat your Dreams, where it plays *before* Smash Thru

I heard it earlier on spotify

IT'S THE SMASH THRU MELODY OMG NELWARD I LOVE IT
I am absolutely in love with this in every way possible.
This is incredible
I love when nelward makes these slow vibe songs

Got the notification and listened to this on my walk! This is a great night drive vibe
Evil Eat Your Dreams Be Like
(This song slaps so hard!)
Listen to this every night before I sleep
It's calming
Listening to this while waiting for a connecting flight at night and nelward you truly are a mystical man the vibes are indescribable

Man I love this kind of melancholic but chill and jazzy beat that u can make , just like Innuendo and Ghost, awesome song
The calmer brother to Smash Thru we never knew we needed.
Love how your songs include ur past songs. It’s like a NCU (nelward connected universe) super rewarding to see u evolve
I gotta say you inspire me bro.

Pure BANGER right here! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I could be wrong but it almost seems like nelward is changing a bit. And I like it
Lovin the leitmotifs
I love that proclamation part at the end

Also proclamation
The storm in the background is incredible
This is just perfect to listen on rainy days
I want to see a music video for this and make it about a couple who’s in love while it’s raining ✨
I'm honestly blown away
Another greatest hit from nelward

This sounds like an 80's rock ballad mixed with chill hop and Minecraft when it rains.
