Xanthus believes that the ladies are laughing in their knickers. My good man, misfortune seems to dislike both crying and being rejected, dimming your leaps, old chap. Old chap, someone ought to guide the crowds, lest those chaps despair like turtles flailing their masses. Good fellow, there’s a question as to why individuals are present yet ignored; those chaps haven't had a reset, and that matter should have slipped their minds. Xanthus notices that, despite their efforts, the gentlemen are also being overlooked. My dear fellow, he wonders about the man's own rejection, and whether he can overcome it. The narrative shifts through scenes; the bells toll each minute; everything is frozen in time. Good chap, the discussions shape their dry sorrow into nothingness, as such moments cannot be forgotten. The lady's laughter, despite its disliking nature, shines through the gloom, revealing that which can be contained. The power of the masses can indeed follow victory over foes, cleansing the spirit. The valleys stand as symbols of resistance, drying sorrow and filling without the taint of grief - those unblemished truths remain unknown to those chaps who ultimately don't desire it. Nonetheless, the truth is hard to believe; even though the masses perceive it, they cannot obliterate it. Xanthus assumes that both paths reveal salvation, and both fierce entities fear the lions. Yet, my good man, acknowledge that what is sought hides within the vast oceans of understanding. Old chap, he declares everything is possible; but your silence speaks volumes. The masses call for action; inaction breeds strength rather than despair. The narrative concludes without Xanthus voicing anything further, as misfortune seems to loom, yet the masses reject those defeatist forces. Good chappie, he reminds us that opportunity is present in each moment, amidst defeat.
Just randomly bumped into this in my recommended and holy fuck, your covers are probably the highest quality covers on TH-cam. RecD, MaimyMayo, BonanAnything, they may have more views, but your art and voice acting along with the editing are peak. You've just earned a loyal subscriber friend, with plenty more to follow I'm sure!
TY! Comments lke these fr bring back my motivation to work on these vids. Tbh i can only agree bout editing (and my tuning can be better sometimes), but still awesome that you think that.
@@SonicBalance RecD may have the higher production value, and MaimyMayo may have gotten their foot in the door first, but the passion and soul oozing from every effect and every syllable is candy to my senses. I hope you don't take this as me saying good shit to get recognized, I just see talent and am recognizing it humbly in the comments XD
@@RubyRose-Akira i messed up a bit when editing and TH-cam doesnt have an option to edit volume after uploading so i can't really fix that. There's gonna be a soundcloud upload that has updated stuff soon tho, if you wanna know when it releases join my dc server or smth.
You substantially made every part of my lyrical dreams into a song and i respect you. Usually lyrics songs don’t go in my bop playlist but i gotta let this pass
If I were to search ”definition of peak” on google and go to videos this is what pops up as the first video. Ill give my opinion from the gameplay to the lyrics. The gameplay is nothing but amazing,the sprites are very well detailed and drawn togheter. the animations is really good,didnt expect it to be this good. the artstyles do not clash with eachother at all which some mods cant get right. ive also noticed that the down pose xanthus in the first phase is the ”factual information” emoji and thought it was pretty cool to mention. now the art that appears durin the song. The art is AMAZING a huge step up from lets play. the thumbnails dont even COMPARE (no hate to the lets play thumbnail artist). Ive noticed that when xanthus says ”these hils im ruling are the fuel to my jules,so watch as all that you know break DOWN” the moment he says ”down” an animation plays which is REALLY AWESOME. props to whoever animated that one. art is overall amazing during this,once again saying this, a huge step up from lets play in every aspect. Now for the lyrics and voice acting. The voice acting was nothing but THE GOAT. The emotion that emits from xanthus” voice is terrifyingly GODLY and definitely worthy for a king. the high parts are my personal favourites as thats where you can really hear the best of balance”s voice acting and singing. THe lyrics fit xanthus SO WELL. i can definitely hear him saying all of it. great work from everyone on Balance”s team. And thats about it. I overall enjoyed this cover as its THE BEST cover that i have heard in a hot minute. thank you Balance for making such a wonderful thing come to reality.
I'd like to start this by saying that I found your channel while searching for Undying Phoenix's Let's Play lyric covers of the song, and honestly I was already impressed by that point since I didn't really know you guys at the time, thought you were underrated for your work (although to be honest I did end up forgetting to leave a sub as I do for many other channels in general on TH-cam). This cover blew past my expectations for it, I thought there would be decent to good lyrics, some art here and there perhaps near the end, but it ended up not being the case fortunately, and I as a viewer really would like to appreciate that since there are just so many names on this community that haven't been heard of yet have such amazing work that it's a real shame to let that go just like that. Please do let the whole team behind this that their work has been appreciated, and that they've done a great one at that! Anyways, enough formal talk, I really enjoyed this cover and i'm looking forward to seeing more from you guys!
The narrative unfolds with a sense of despair, As Xanthus speaks, the scene becomes more bare. Misfortune loathes both tears and scorn, Dampening spirits, as it's often worn. Someone should guide the lost and meek, Before they drown in sorrow's bleak. The question lingers, why are some ignored? While others leap, their hearts explored. The masses yearn for a chance to shine, Yet, they're stuck in a cycle of grief and time. Xanthus ponders the sting of rejection, Wondering if there's a way to connect. The bells toll, each minute a stage, Everything frozen, as if in an engraving. Their whispers of woe, a silent plea, Shaped into a nothingness so free. Lady Laughter pierces the dismal shroud, A beacon revealing the unbowed. The power of unity can conquer all, Spirits cleansed when the enemy's taller. Valleys stand tall, resistance their theme, Drying tears, sans the grief's gleam. Truth is elusive, though seen by many, It lingers, even when the masses scorn any. Two paths to salvation, fearsome lions lay, Yet, understanding's depths, they dare not survey. Silence speaks louder than any cry, Opportunity whispers from the sky. In every loss, a chance is born, To rise again, though fate may scorn.
Like not gonna lie for real, Xanthus laughing at the end was the coolest and most menacing thing I've ever heard like that is PEAK villainy right there! 3:42
dude this is an underrated masterpiece! Xanthus has always been slightly scary, but you somehow made him 10x scarier with that laugh! And the art? Don't even get me started. I myself am an artist and I can't even draw like that! All of this was extremely impressive, and I can't put into words. You deserve all the subs you can get!!
I may not be the actual xanthus VA but I am the official singing voice for Xanthus' sonic form, nominal one day just added me on discord and gave me that information as his 2nd message lol
God I just can’t get over how well you did for the character xanthus, like for real you did amazing and bring the horror to this character and so much more. Keep it up
I can’t believe how I never commented on this, THIS IS SO SICK, I ALWAYS LOVED THE WAY YOU VOICED SONIC, AND CUSTOM GAMEPLAY IS W TOO, overall, great video (especially the art, I LOVE IT), but I do have one question, how did you tune the vocals cuz I can’t find any flps for the song?
Don’t mind me just searching for a presence of the Nomimal himself. Nah but seriously i really enjoy those lyrics and they really represente Xanthus’s personality.
"Now that I'm done with pretending my reign will never be ending your fate is nigh so embrace it here stands your end stand and face it" Well delivered
Your voice is absolutely amazing to listen to. The only complaint I really have is the lyrics, and even then it’s minor, and might be just me not knowing Xanthus well. It just feels obvious, like he doesn’t care that he’s pretending to be Sonic. At all. It all feels like it loops around to “I’m the king”, I think more diversity in the meaning behind his lyrics could do wonders.
Jesus man, i was searching for some lyrics to the faker from sonic exe, and stumbled on this one, Like holy shit man. This is actually really great. Your skills really match upto MaimyMayo, Richie, Bonan, All the other great people who make these covers. Like holy fuck. You really did a great job on this and you have earned a subscriber. Keep it up man!

Oh I have no clue I edited my comment and my heart went away 😢
fixed 🙏
Thx! ❤
I don't know which part I like better, the middle part or the part where the song ends. Both were extremely satisfying to hear.
Damn. I love this. So good.
Xanthus’ voice is so well done. Great Job bud! 👍 Also ever since the original upload I couldn’t get over the Sandopolis motif ☠️
nice cover man (i’m rewrite irl on the undying phoenix community server btw)
DAMMIT I MISSED THE PREMIERE
Edit: 1:53 THAT GO HARD FR
I love this so muchhhhhh!!!! Can't stop hearing it I've put it loop for the past 4 hours!

@@supersonic868 yeahh just recently found that out. but my point still stands.
holy crap this is amazing- awesome job bro

Finally a good faker cover! Nice work!!
I love Xanthus’s British accent
IT WAS SO GOOD
balance cooked 🔥
GYATT DAYUM these are some BANGERS y'all did a GREAT job! Keep it up!!
I mean it’s good but they did faker dirty…
Jesus Christ this is great.
Is perfect 😢

I recreated the vocals in fl myself and then got the bf ones from a friend of nominal
Ooooh ur back :000
"This face is the one they all love, shout my name and i shall stand above" - best line in my opinion, sets out the deceit quite well
This looks EPIC
wsg its me undying phoenix!!!!!! (phoenix)
This truly was faker Xanthus mix with lyrics
This is actually peak but the peakest thing is the gameplay its so good its a common 190/10
Great video, as always.
It's a shame that the last piece of art isn't on the creator's twitter.
W o a g
Nice
Voice sounds pretty good dude!
I love how faker/xanthus starts to reveal his true colors as the song goes on
Don’t mind me just searching for a presence of the Nomimal himself.
Nah but seriously i really enjoy those lyrics and they really represente Xanthus’s personality.
