this song is about the time viva tried to meet up with a friend at the cheesecake factory but mistyped "dessert" into google maps and it took them to a very silly place trust me
The artwork for this one destroyed my hand a bit but I'm exceptionally happy with it! The background painting alone took over 6 hours, so I hope you all like it!
A song about stubbornly pushing through your problems with no outside help, even if its tearing you apart inside and out (I think at least) really deserves to be the longest song you have made. This is a great project all the way through, all of your music is so underrated, keep up the good work!
pushing through and hating the world around you because you cant do it. Burning all bridges because you feel they will just hurt you all while they are trying to help you. Taking you to bed after you've beat yourself senseless and bandaging your injuries. Harming them further, burning away their own lives while you spiral further downward. "Rip my heart out my chest, so i wont be possessed by the weakness that tries to shut me down," "But living life isn't a life if you have nothing left to give, and living life isn't a life if you've burned all your reasons left to live" "My heads on the ground again, I try to lift my head but I'm still sinking in. I lift up a shaky hand and I say the only word I should have back then..."
@@N0FoxGiven The more online censorship is allowed the more it will continue. How can people help each other if they don't even listen to the strong/unpopuler opinions? This is why cowards is the most common thing there is where love is more dead then ever. I don't push away or avoid though. I stand my ground. It's about the ideals. Anyone trying to hide the truth or telling you stop/give up won't understand.
Okay, _wow._ Seriously, between Ivy’s music and editing, Stephanafro’s vocals, and PC_Doodle’s artwork, this is absolutely stunning in every way. I don’t know what else to say; it’s just so damn _good._ Massive props to you all.
This song hits hard for me. I have only slept an hour an a half in the last 24 hours. I'm stuck on my bed, dizzy and unable to get up without falling down, while I just wait for it all to stop. 10/10 didn't expect one of your songs to hit me like this.
This is amazing! It can be difficult to make songs longer than 3-4 minutes so having one come out this long that you lose track of time listening too is so good! Can't wait to add this to my casual spotify playlist!
Wow... I'm speechless. Understanding the lyrics and identifying with them while dancing to the melody makes you burst into tears, but at the same time, it pushes you to keep going because (despite going through difficult times) we have managed to overcome them... Or at least, in my case, I've learned how to forget them to avoid tormenting myself with those thoughts. Although I know that forgetting is not the solution, it is one of the alternatives to cope with our pain. In the end, what really matters is not to forget, but to heal and continue moving forward, knowing that you are yourself.
Full lyrics for the musicians🎶: My head's on the ground again. I'm bleeding on the sand, but I don't feel a thing... I start with a count to ten, as I pull myself up slowly and I take it in... Lost in this desert and I'm looking for freedom. A small oasis or a moment of breathing. I'm still alive but I can hear my body screaming... A broken core despite its pieces interweaving. Scorch the sun, I'm burning! Freezing nights, I'm learning to fill my cup of emptiness, with tired limbs and bloody fists. On my own I'll make it. Blood and bone, I'll take it! By fighting the coldness inside, I'm leaving it all to the side. I'm learning to swallow my pride, I'm burning! I'm burning! I'm burning! Surrounded by mirages, nonexistent entourages. Nowhere to roam, there's nothing left to call home... I'm thinking, I found it. Nirvana built it from my own life's trauma. Each day just gets hotter. Learned to live without the water. My head's on the ground again. A feeling too familiar, but this time it stings. There's no one to call my friend, but the burden's feeling lighter without their things... I see on the road ahead, a person walking slowly as my vision fades. I wake on an empty bed, but I quickly take my leave and I refuse the aid. No one can hurt me if I'm walking all alone... They can't desert me if I've already turned- to- stone. "Lost in this desert and I'm looking for freedom. A small oasis or a moment of breathing." I'm still alive but I can hear my body screaming... A broken core despite its pieces interweaving. Scorch the sun, I'm burning! Freezing nights, I'm learning to fill my cup of emptiness, with tired limbs and bloody fists. On my own I'll make it. Blood and bone, I'll take it! By fighting the coldness inside, I'm leaving it all to the side. I'm learning to swallow my pride, I'm burning! I'm burning! I'm burning! I'm burning it all down with me! I'm burning! I'm burning! The only way I'll be set free! A body that feels foreign to me. Dissonance is soaring through me. Physical pain is nothing to the ache that's roaring through me. I'll do it. I'LL DO IT! Anything to get me through it. How long can I fake through the agony I take? At what point will I break as I fall into it? I'm sick of asking, if this path will make me who I'm supposed to be... In taking the path less traveled, will the difference be the one I want to see? Rip my heart out my chest, so I won't be possessed, by the weakness that tries to shut me down! My movement has slowed, but I'll never let go. I'll just lift myself each time around... If I had known that it would be this way, I would've never put myself this far into the fray. Cause now I'm seeing everything I am today, is just a product of the existential price I paid. Now there's dust in the wind and my vision has dimmed. The sand has covered my skin. Is this the end of the end? I wipe it from my body, but it's starting to blend, and now the only option left is just to soak it in... If I was whole, would I be more? Or does the sum of my parts make me more? How can I compete against this hold? Cause when I turn up the heat, I still feel cold... I still feel cold... I still feel... cold I still feel... My head's on the ground again... My body's not the same and I can't feel my skin... I wrap up my broken limbs and I stand up on my feet, but the whole world's spinning. "Lost in this desert and I'm looking for freedom. A small oasis or a moment of breathing." I'm still alive but I can hear my body screaming... A broken core despite its pieces interweaving. I search and pick up the pieces all to my soul and I go and try to fill all the gaps to fix all the holes, I don't know. How someone like me can learn to be free, pay their toll. When they were broken down before they had a chance to be whole. But living life isn't a life, if you have nothing left to give. And living life isn't a life, if you've burned all your reasons left to live. SCORCHING SUN! FREEZING NIGHTS!... I'm slipping. LOSING SIGHT of my WILL TO FIGHT. ON MY OWN~ All alone... It's ticking. Counting down my fading light. I'm sick of picking myself up off of these burning sands below. I'm still alive but something died in me, ages long ago... Now my stomach is sick and I'm hearing the tick to the next time I fall and hit the ground. This time will be quick, no longer equipped to lift myself this time around. I've burned it all down, as the flames surround me and I fall into the sand. Like a shot in the dark, I use my last spark for one last deed before the end. My head's on the ground again... I try to lift my head, but I'm still sinking in... I lift up a shaky hand, and I say the only word I should've said back then... "help-"
I was expecting a fun song from the goofy bee proto but instead I ended up near tears as he sung his heart out about pain and trauma that is to close to my own for comfort fantastic song dude
I love the music and the detail of the character changing with the song, as if they are falling apart, each color represents a different aspect of the personality and the first/last one is the full person.
Ivycomb are you okay? These songs continue to derail more, and get more and more sad. Honestly, I sometimes cry to these. Please let me know that these are not a cry for help, I’ve been in similar spots
They say art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable. I hope ivy is doing well but a song that applies to my life and state of mind helps me make it to the next day even if I blow the speakers out in my car every day blasting this on my way to work
Wow! and i mean wow. This song is incredible! The visual effects of VIVA swapping between the others and allowing each to shine, and the background slowly dissolving into glitches just as VIVA was at the end, was INSANE. Not even mentioning the incredible instrumental and lyrics! Massive applause to PC_Doodle, Ivy and Stephanafro for creating such a masterpiece!
This is one of the most underrated songs ever, I related dearly to the sheer power and emotion behind the lyrics, let alone the incredible artwork, this is amazing and the creators of this masterpiece deserve far more recognition for their talent
The last word made me sob and cry,it may seem like its better to be alone in your struggles and not be hurt by others but we can't always do it alone.sure they might hurt you but they could also help you and you could help them.I try not to let life harden me to stone if it does i'll just soften.
I love this and after only listening to only a few notes when this song first started it immediately became my favorite, I just love how unique these character designs are :3❤
0:52 the line made me immediately think of Ultrakill level 4-2 and i wanted to know if that is a thing that more than one person has thought of or if it was just me playing that game obsessively. either way cool song. sounds good and i will add it to my collection of liked things.
Ivy has a niche portion of their audience that immediately adopted this song as an instant favorite because it describes their situation uncomfortably well. I am firmly within this portion and i had to stop and rewind the first time i paid attention to the lyrics. Story for those who care: Moved to phoenix az to attend a tech school and basically everything is falling apart around me. Not only does this song apply to me in the metaphorical sense, it applies to me in the literal sense as well.
WHATT THIS IS SO RELATABLE I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH (my jaw was on the ground when I started to realize what the lyrics meant, I've been waiting for a song like this for ages now.)
I don’t typically enjoy songs this long, but the story told through the lyrics more than makes up for it. Going through something thats breaking you apart inside, and pushing away everyone who’s trying to help is something I still struggle with. The verse from 4:13-4:55 almost perfectly reflects me
I just woke up and listened to the whole song, and I got shocked that it’s a 7 minute long song. Loved the desperate feeling vocals on this one. What’s the best part is that when reaching the end of the song I still couldn’t understand the meaning of the song until the last part. When the last word was said, everything just *dawned* on me. Great song, pretty unique.
Broken down before they got to be whole. I feel that man, this song really speaks to me. I've always wondered if I'd have been more if I hadn't been broken so early in life.
I have never really understood what or why have I felt so awful lately and I eventually found this video which sums up what I have been feeling and it's actually kinda scary- I have this obsession with finishing a promise I made three years ago with my old friends, they eventually left me behind and I still haven't made any progress and it makes me feel this empty feeling in my chest, after some eventful things between me and my old group I have been keeping a lot of my problems to myself. Thank you for making this masterpiece of a song I hope you grow bigger because you've motivated me to find help now that I have a better idea of what I am doing to myself and I should probably go find help before I sink deeper into whatever this obsession is. Thank you.
Can we talk about the message here? The way I’m seeing it, it’s about someone who prides themself on everything you’d think makes a ‘strong person.’ Letting go of their ego, having the will to keep going time and time again without support, taking challenges on like it’s nothing, actively learning how to survive and thrive and pushing themself to ascend personally and to get to where they want to go. But they’ve made one major issue. They’ve closed themself off. The narrator talks about nobody being able to abandon them if they have nobody to begin with and having an ‘untouchable’ heart due to them having ripped it out. They’ve closed themself off from having a connection with others. The narrator mentions not having a home or soul and building Nirvana from their trauma. They’re identifying with their trauma and loss and closing themself off from anything new. In the end, the narrator regardless of whatever they’ve found on their journey has grown to regret living like this. That disregard for their emotional well-being wound up being their downfall. Where willpower and pride once stood is now but an empty hole of regret. Without that will to carry on, they begin to slip. Nearing the end now beyond any chance to change the past, the narrator realises that surviving to see the next rise isn’t a worthy life if there’s nothing to live for. Then right before sinking in, they finally reach up and ask for help only because there’s nothing left to live. And the thing is, that’s it. By doing that one thing, the narrator has abandoned their pride. Now they have no one, nothing and they can’t even say they were stubborn enough to keep going. And now it’s over. The narrator presumably died with nothing to say about it and nobody to remember them. The end.
best song ever. just the way that it depicts being lost in a vast expanse of desert and embracing the wandering and pain to the point of rejecting help from other humans. amazing and emotional 11/10 also 3:57 is super emo tbh
I like this song, but it is a hard song for me to listen to. It has nothing to do with the production or performance, none of it is bad, I actually think this is in my top 3 songs from all of you, but it is hard to listen to. The vocals are so raw and filled with pain and it just, hits, you know? I know Ivy posted on twitter that it was a song about murder, but when I hear and read the lyrics, I get a strong sense that is just a metaphor for body dysmorphia. That's what I got out of the song. I was on the verge of tears when I heard it the first time a couple days ago. No song has ever made me cry, and this one almost got me there. All this to say: I love your music, thank you.
This has got to be possibley my favorite song you have wrote Ivy and Stephenafro amazing vocals and dynamics. Now a day you don't hear dynamics in the songs, not nearly as much as your's it's beautiful. You two make a good song making team. Keep up the great work but please don't overwhelm yourselves I get how stressful it is for music creators.
I can't believe that guy turned down an offer for help. The rest of his agony and death could have been avoided if he stayed with the guy in the house. (great song btw)
Is there a place where I can see all of ivy combs song's lore. Because I can see the meta narrative of pushing through problems, but what is this character I've heard then called "Viva" and how do we get those names
hollyyy shitttt can you imagine all the animatics with this. Not to undermine the vocals, lyricism, production, and art. It all works so well, though most importantly im loving stephs performance
I think I’m spotting lore. Tell me if I’m wrong, but I think the characters we’ve been seeing in Ivy’s songs are the ghosts that possess this character, we can clearly see Moka and the one from the Luminescent(I’m sorry, I don’t know their name)appear in the video. I also suspect that the original consciousness of the body is represented by purple secondary coloring and rainbow ears. Honestly, I think this is so cool. I wanna see more of this lore!!!
A powerful song, one that beats with the hollow void one of my OCs has. Rambling ensues below. Thrust into a violent world, he found it's impossible to stay dead in that new realm. Wringing mortality out of him and leaving him fighting with nothing unbroken else be rent further. He got *better* at it all eventually, but I still vibe with his darkest chapters. The need to push with such strain that everything shatters, just to drag myself together and keep up the battlefront.
I love how long and good this sounds, and love the animation transitions, such a great song, another great song, thanks for the great content you make! ✨
THAT'S IT. I found your channel Through False Idol and Fool's Gold randomly a while back and haven't really delved much deeper then that even though I liked what I heard. Don't ask why, idk what my brain is doing half the time, but now you've done it... Man, I can't keep up with this many subscriptions but I'm not complaining ^^'. Great song and definitely different from the first one I heard from ya but I think I might have a new favorite now because man, too relatable, this one, but thanks for creating it because the art and animation are always soo good from what I've seen so far and as someone who struggles to understand and describe more complex emotions, I get this song completely from start to finish though irdk what to say. Ig there's not much I can, the music's better at speaking for itself then I am at putting my thoughts and feelings about it to work so just know I appreciate this song, this channel and the creators behind it. Hoping to see how far you go this year as I'll definitely be sticking around and be listening to more of your music because this one's definitely going on repeat now that I've played a few Cult of the Lamb inspired songs to death recently ^^' 💙
Wow. I love the sound of this song, the beat and the lyrics aswell! The lyrics are very nicely written to make the connections between a pure desert and your own brain. Very nice job on this, after I heard this I was completely sold on your music :3 Please make more like this one! ❤

Full lyrics for the musicians🎶:
My head's on the ground again.
I'm bleeding on the sand, but I don't feel a thing...
I start with a count to ten,
as I pull myself up slowly and I take it in...
Lost in this desert and I'm looking for freedom.
A small oasis or a moment of breathing.
I'm still alive but I can hear my body screaming...
A broken core despite its pieces interweaving.
Scorch the sun, I'm burning!
Freezing nights, I'm learning to fill my cup of emptiness,
with tired limbs and bloody fists.
On my own I'll make it.
Blood and bone, I'll take it!
By fighting the coldness inside,
I'm leaving it all to the side.
I'm learning to swallow my pride, I'm burning!
I'm burning! I'm burning!
Surrounded by mirages, nonexistent entourages.
Nowhere to roam, there's nothing left to call home...
I'm thinking, I found it.
Nirvana built it from my own life's trauma.
Each day just gets hotter.
Learned to live without the water.
My head's on the ground again.
A feeling too familiar, but this time it stings.
There's no one to call my friend,
but the burden's feeling lighter without their things...
I see on the road ahead,
a person walking slowly as my vision fades.
I wake on an empty bed,
but I quickly take my leave and I refuse the aid.
No one can hurt me if I'm walking all alone...
They can't desert me if I've already turned- to- stone.
"Lost in this desert and I'm looking for freedom.
A small oasis or a moment of breathing."
I'm still alive but I can hear my body screaming...
A broken core despite its pieces interweaving.
Scorch the sun, I'm burning!
Freezing nights, I'm learning to fill my cup of emptiness,
with tired limbs and bloody fists.
On my own I'll make it.
Blood and bone, I'll take it!
By fighting the coldness inside,
I'm leaving it all to the side.
I'm learning to swallow my pride, I'm burning!
I'm burning! I'm burning!
I'm burning it all down with me!
I'm burning! I'm burning!
The only way I'll be set free!
A body that feels foreign to me.
Dissonance is soaring through me.
Physical pain is nothing to the ache that's roaring through me.
I'll do it. I'LL DO IT!
Anything to get me through it.
How long can I fake through the agony I take?
At what point will I break as I fall into it?
I'm sick of asking,
if this path will make me who I'm supposed to be...
In taking the path less traveled,
will the difference be the one I want to see?
Rip my heart out my chest, so I won't be possessed,
by the weakness that tries to shut me down!
My movement has slowed, but I'll never let go.
I'll just lift myself each time around...
If I had known that it would be this way,
I would've never put myself this far into the fray.
Cause now I'm seeing everything I am today,
is just a product of the existential price I paid.
Now there's dust in the wind and my vision has dimmed.
The sand has covered my skin.
Is this the end of the end?
I wipe it from my body, but it's starting to blend,
and now the only option left is just to soak it in...
If I was whole, would I be more?
Or does the sum of my parts make me more?
How can I compete against this hold?
Cause when I turn up the heat, I still feel cold...
I still feel cold...
I still feel... cold
I still feel...
My head's on the ground again...
My body's not the same and I can't feel my skin...
I wrap up my broken limbs
and I stand up on my feet,
but the whole world's spinning.
"Lost in this desert and I'm looking for freedom.
A small oasis or a moment of breathing."
I'm still alive but I can hear my body screaming...
A broken core despite its pieces interweaving.
I search and pick up the pieces all to my soul and I go
and try to fill all the gaps to fix all the holes, I don't know.
How someone like me can learn to be free, pay their toll.
When they were broken down before they had a chance to be whole.
But living life isn't a life,
if you have nothing left to give.
And living life isn't a life,
if you've burned all your reasons left to live.
SCORCHING SUN!
FREEZING NIGHTS!... I'm slipping.
LOSING SIGHT of my WILL TO FIGHT.
ON MY OWN~
All alone... It's ticking.
Counting down my fading light.
I'm sick of picking myself up off of these burning sands below.
I'm still alive but something died in me, ages long ago...
Now my stomach is sick and I'm hearing the tick
to the next time I fall and hit the ground.
This time will be quick,
no longer equipped to lift myself this time around.
I've burned it all down,
as the flames surround me and I fall into the sand.
Like a shot in the dark,
I use my last spark for one last deed before the end.
My head's on the ground again...
I try to lift my head, but I'm still sinking in...
I lift up a shaky hand,
and I say the only word I should've said back then...
"help-"

This has given me great inspiration to write a story about crossing an infinite desert. I'll be starting the writing process soon.
Literally, this song is so good for world building ideas, already had a desert planet but gave me an idea for a character(s?)
I also had an idea similar, but less like a whole story and more like a part of one.

This song is definitely going to be on my Spotify wrapped and it should be on everyone else's too.
what if i use amazon music
@@craz-360 Amazon wrapped
youtube playlist here. it's easier to discover new good songs without searching up the creators name checking every day.
I can't wait till it's on Spotify as at the time of typing this Spotify does not have this song yet
@@Spring_Proto_Gaming try checking now. i just played it on amazon music.
Its not only very impressive how long this song is, but the lyrics and art are amazing! Fantastic job to everyone involved
Ivycomb are you okay? These songs continue to derail more, and get more and more sad. Honestly, I sometimes cry to these. Please let me know that these are not a cry for help, I’ve been in similar spots
They say art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable. I hope ivy is doing well but a song that applies to my life and state of mind helps me make it to the next day even if I blow the speakers out in my car every day blasting this on my way to work
Wow! and i mean wow. This song is incredible! The visual effects of VIVA swapping between the others and allowing each to shine, and the background slowly dissolving into glitches just as VIVA was at the end, was INSANE. Not even mentioning the incredible instrumental and lyrics!
Massive applause to PC_Doodle, Ivy and Stephanafro for creating such a masterpiece!
This is one of the most underrated songs ever, I related dearly to the sheer power and emotion behind the lyrics, let alone the incredible artwork, this is amazing and the creators of this masterpiece deserve far more recognition for their talent
The last word made me sob and cry,it may seem like its better to be alone in your struggles and not be hurt by others but we can't always do it alone.sure they might hurt you but they could also help you and you could help them.I try not to let life harden me to stone if it does i'll just soften.
I’m just seeing the cover and I already know it’s gonna be good
same here. can't wait for the premier to start.
I love this and after only listening to only a few notes when this song first started it immediately became my favorite, I just love how unique these character designs are :3❤
0:52 the line made me immediately think of Ultrakill level 4-2 and i wanted to know if that is a thing that more than one person has thought of or if it was just me playing that game obsessively. either way cool song. sounds good and i will add it to my collection of liked things.
greed
god damn the sun
Ivy has a niche portion of their audience that immediately adopted this song as an instant favorite because it describes their situation uncomfortably well. I am firmly within this portion and i had to stop and rewind the first time i paid attention to the lyrics.
Story for those who care:
Moved to phoenix az to attend a tech school and basically everything is falling apart around me. Not only does this song apply to me in the metaphorical sense, it applies to me in the literal sense as well.
Hvac?
WHATT THIS IS SO RELATABLE I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH (my jaw was on the ground when I started to realize what the lyrics meant, I've been waiting for a song like this for ages now.)
Yet again, I'm baffled by the passion audibly present in this stunning song, let alone the glitchy art style here.
One of the few songs that went to my soul ^^
I loves Dis lol ^w^
I don’t typically enjoy songs this long, but the story told through the lyrics more than makes up for it. Going through something thats breaking you apart inside, and pushing away everyone who’s trying to help is something I still struggle with. The verse from 4:13-4:55 almost perfectly reflects me
Wow, this is one of the best songs I've heard this last year. Seriously, the artwork, the vocals, everything is stunning!!!
I just woke up and listened to the whole song, and I got shocked that it’s a 7 minute long song. Loved the desperate feeling vocals on this one. What’s the best part is that when reaching the end of the song I still couldn’t understand the meaning of the song until the last part. When the last word was said, everything just *dawned* on me. Great song, pretty unique.
THIS IS SO GOOD AAAAA I DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE HOW LONG IT WAS BECAUSE I DIDN'T GET TIRED OF LISTENING TO IT THE WHOLE WAY THROUGH
Broken down before they got to be whole. I feel that man, this song really speaks to me. I've always wondered if I'd have been more if I hadn't been broken so early in life.
this is my number 1 favorite song now, this is genuinely amazing in everyway
I have never really understood what or why have I felt so awful lately and I eventually found this video which sums up what I have been feeling and it's actually kinda scary- I have this obsession with finishing a promise I made three years ago with my old friends, they eventually left me behind and I still haven't made any progress and it makes me feel this empty feeling in my chest, after some eventful things between me and my old group I have been keeping a lot of my problems to myself. Thank you for making this masterpiece of a song I hope you grow bigger because you've motivated me to find help now that I have a better idea of what I am doing to myself and I should probably go find help before I sink deeper into whatever this obsession is. Thank you.
Can we talk about the message here? The way I’m seeing it, it’s about someone who prides themself on everything you’d think makes a ‘strong person.’ Letting go of their ego, having the will to keep going time and time again without support, taking challenges on like it’s nothing, actively learning how to survive and thrive and pushing themself to ascend personally and to get to where they want to go. But they’ve made one major issue. They’ve closed themself off.
The narrator talks about nobody being able to abandon them if they have nobody to begin with and having an ‘untouchable’ heart due to them having ripped it out. They’ve closed themself off from having a connection with others. The narrator mentions not having a home or soul and building Nirvana from their trauma. They’re identifying with their trauma and loss and closing themself off from anything new.
In the end, the narrator regardless of whatever they’ve found on their journey has grown to regret living like this. That disregard for their emotional well-being wound up being their downfall. Where willpower and pride once stood is now but an empty hole of regret. Without that will to carry on, they begin to slip.
Nearing the end now beyond any chance to change the past, the narrator realises that surviving to see the next rise isn’t a worthy life if there’s nothing to live for. Then right before sinking in, they finally reach up and ask for help only because there’s nothing left to live. And the thing is, that’s it. By doing that one thing, the narrator has abandoned their pride. Now they have no one, nothing and they can’t even say they were stubborn enough to keep going. And now it’s over.
The narrator presumably died with nothing to say about it and nobody to remember them. The end.
I mean shit dude shoehorn my name in there and call it a biography
This boutta be a banger
best song ever. just the way that it depicts being lost in a vast expanse of desert and embracing the wandering and pain to the point of rejecting help from other humans. amazing and emotional 11/10
also 3:57 is super emo tbh
This is awesome, thank you Ivycomb for the amazing music as always
i'm a picky listener, i get maybe one or two songs from bands that i actually like, but Ivycomb has made me enjoy nearly all of their songs.
Ivycomb is literally a queen bee spreading out this sweet sweet honey
I am not going to lie, i think this is your best song yet! and kudos to the artist team as well.
Man thanks for what you do, your music hits just right! Hope to keep hearing more and more. LOVE IT!!!
I like this song, but it is a hard song for me to listen to. It has nothing to do with the production or performance, none of it is bad, I actually think this is in my top 3 songs from all of you, but it is hard to listen to. The vocals are so raw and filled with pain and it just, hits, you know? I know Ivy posted on twitter that it was a song about murder, but when I hear and read the lyrics, I get a strong sense that is just a metaphor for body dysmorphia. That's what I got out of the song. I was on the verge of tears when I heard it the first time a couple days ago. No song has ever made me cry, and this one almost got me there. All this to say: I love your music, thank you.
Man I really love Stephanafro's singing voice.
Absolutely amazing! I know ill be listening to this masterpiece on repeat for a while.
Even if it's a coincidence I'm overjoyed this came out on my birthday... In short, this is freaking beautiful
Honey wake up, new ivycomb song dropped!
Jesus Christ ivycomb makes the best music and hires the best artists, every single song is a banger with an awesome art
One of your best songs, ngl ❤
One of the few longer songs I don't imagine I will ever get tired of listening to. Just found ya and I'm loving your music!
This song is both a banger, and also long enough to be used as a timer for kraft mac n cheese
I was hyped when i saw the Twitter post and I'm more so now
100 hours of work and it shows👏
This has got to be possibley my favorite song you have wrote Ivy and Stephenafro amazing vocals and dynamics. Now a day you don't hear dynamics in the songs, not nearly as much as your's it's beautiful. You two make a good song making team. Keep up the great work but please don't overwhelm yourselves I get how stressful it is for music creators.
I swear everytime you release a new song it's even better than the last one! Absolutely love your music!
I'm sad I didn't get to see the premiere, but holy F**k, this song is so good...
And relatable
I can't believe that guy turned down an offer for help. The rest of his agony and death could have been avoided if he stayed with the guy in the house. (great song btw)
AAAAA I LOVE THEY SWITCH AND SING DIFFERENT.
i love this ivycomb. i have been following your music for awhile now .
Is there a place where I can see all of ivy combs song's lore. Because I can see the meta narrative of pushing through problems, but what is this character I've heard then called "Viva" and how do we get those names
this song deeply resonates with my past struggles and how i kept breaking and building myself back up time and time again
Dang sorry to hear that hope it goes well
I'm a truck driver... I can't wait to blast this at full volume tomorrow! I'll be crossing the desert soon. Again. :3
hollyyy shitttt can you imagine all the animatics with this. Not to undermine the vocals, lyricism, production, and art. It all works so well, though most importantly im loving stephs performance
An absolute banger once again... I especially love how the instrumental and vocals work with one another. Paired with great artwork as usual!
I'm very much hoping theres going to be an instrumental version of this but otherwise this is really great!
I got to know why all of ivycombs songs are so good its another banger
I love how every time viva’s face and color scheme changes, the song’s tempo and tone changes.
This song goes hard when I’m carrying groceries in both hands and have to open the door. “ON MY OWN ILL MAKE IT, BLOOD AND BONE ILL TAKE IT”
Made me giggle
Babe wake up! New Ivycomb song just dropped!
in the sahara desert of morocco right now listening to this
I think I’m spotting lore.
Tell me if I’m wrong, but I think the characters we’ve been seeing in Ivy’s songs are the ghosts that possess this character, we can clearly see Moka and the one from the Luminescent(I’m sorry, I don’t know their name)appear in the video. I also suspect that the original consciousness of the body is represented by purple secondary coloring and rainbow ears.
Honestly, I think this is so cool. I wanna see more of this lore!!!
WE PROVIDING FOR THE COLONY WITH THIS ONE🔥🔥🔥‼️‼️‼️💥💥💥
Ants?
Do it this song if on fire.
@@punkabooiscool1111 Lmao I meant hive
@@Voltagenix lol XD
this is so far my #1 fav song you have made Ivycomb... it.... it actually hits really close to home in a sense....
I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH :3
Ok I am hooked on this music, it brings so much emotion I can FEEL the lyrics.
A powerful song, one that beats with the hollow void one of my OCs has.
Rambling ensues below.
Thrust into a violent world, he found it's impossible to stay dead in that new realm. Wringing mortality out of him and leaving him fighting with nothing unbroken else be rent further.
He got *better* at it all eventually, but I still vibe with his darkest chapters. The need to push with such strain that everything shatters, just to drag myself together and keep up the battlefront.
I love the animation! The song is fantastic as well!
Edit: maybe some lore is hidden in this video somewhere.. I MUST CHECK EVERY FRAME!
THAT OPENING THOUGH HOLY SHIT
S tier character design
This song is absolutely amazing can’t even put it on a scale of 1 to 10 it’s so good everything about it is just astonishing.
WE MAKIN IT OUT OF THE DESERT WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥
I can say this song resonates with me, no context to be given because its alot. But I grew up in Vegas so y'know.. desert settings
Ive never related to a song its almost word for word of my own experience to the point i had a panic attack when i listened to it
Some of your best work!
I love the way this song sounds! I can just hear the passion put into this
Oh, wow. That "Help" at the end really shook me for a moment. Great work!
The song and art gave so much emotion, this is amazing! I can't wait to add it to my Playlist when it goes on spodify.
I love it. I understand a little bit music production, and I do appreciate the time and effort you put into this. Thank you!
I love how long and good this sounds, and love the animation transitions, such a great song, another great song, thanks for the great content you make! ✨
I love your voice with a burning passion.
THAT'S IT. I found your channel Through False Idol and Fool's Gold randomly a while back and haven't really delved much deeper then that even though I liked what I heard. Don't ask why, idk what my brain is doing half the time, but now you've done it... Man, I can't keep up with this many subscriptions but I'm not complaining ^^'. Great song and definitely different from the first one I heard from ya but I think I might have a new favorite now because man, too relatable, this one, but thanks for creating it because the art and animation are always soo good from what I've seen so far and as someone who struggles to understand and describe more complex emotions, I get this song completely from start to finish though irdk what to say. Ig there's not much I can, the music's better at speaking for itself then I am at putting my thoughts and feelings about it to work so just know I appreciate this song, this channel and the creators behind it. Hoping to see how far you go this year as I'll definitely be sticking around and be listening to more of your music because this one's definitely going on repeat now that I've played a few Cult of the Lamb inspired songs to death recently ^^' 💙
Holy shit, this tells a story.
I'm legit at a lost for words xdd
Fun fact about me: I feel happyer the colder it is, so winter is my favorite season.
oh same!
with just one listen this has easily become my absolute favorite song. insanely good work Ivy
Wow.
I love the sound of this song, the beat and the lyrics aswell!
The lyrics are very nicely written to make the connections between a pure desert and your own brain.
Very nice job on this, after I heard this I was completely sold on your music :3
Please make more like this one! ❤
