    JELLICLE RATS COME OUT TONIGHT- okay I’ll stop now. I just think rats are funny. I’m glad that the Dangan Ronpa V3 fanmade PV for this song helped it to become known amongst the Western Vocaloid fandom, because up until then this was just an obscure fave I thought nobody would be wanting to hear me cover. Maybe one day I’ll come back and do a Dangan Ronpa inspired take on this song, haha…
    I had lots of fun singing and writing lyrics for this- I intended to get this done earlier but I wanted to read the basis for the song first, that being The Plague by Albert Camus. Stuff like that is really important to me when I make covers- perhaps it’s a tendency carrying over from when I did musical theatre. When auditioning with a song or a monologue, you were always expected to know everything about the musical or play the song/monologue came from. I think it really helped me to write lyrics. Also I love P.I.N.A., please follow them on twitter: @People_INA! They deserve it.
    This song was also a bit more difficult than I thought it would be. Range wise it was totally easy, but it was hard to discern the melody as well as exact rhythm at certain parts (this is why I use sheet music to write lyrics WHEEZES). I wound up referencing both the original Miku version as well as SymaG’s version ‘cause I absolutely adore his version.
    Anyway, thanks for your support! Hope to upload some more this month, and also thanks for a great two years! I’m so blessed to have so many kind souls looking forward to what I do in the short amount of time I’ve been active.

    Ok, This song is about the book "The Plague", Which I haven't read but I have heard of, From what I know it's about a city and one day suddenly a ton of rats come out and die of the bubonic plague. Most of the story is about the effects of the Bubonic plague on the city it showed itself in.

    • @sickawesome4659
      @sickawesome4659 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +22

      I know It's WAY too late to add an addendum to a 4 year old post, but the book's about human conflict and the nature of fighting against suffering. It's about the ways people fight against tragedy or suffering, and how the only way humanity can truly win against disasters is by confronting them.

    [Here are the lyrics just in case you want them to sing along with the song]
    The flowers helped to smell like spellings of spring,
    An iris to gray iris in the town, gaining speed
    Delude and claim you can’t sleep without stir,
    They’ll scan you with a glass eye to confirm your every word
    In ties and binds, eye-line tugging to a tee
    Those downcast drops dropped on locks of secrecy
    Our feature presentation gladly welcomes your ears,
    Eyes shut with seeds so you don’t need to lose them through tears
    A News Stop piece deems someone guilty,
    Although they quote no ogre to remain PC
    That read I slammed and stamped with pastimes,
    The time past for a punch line
    Ambiguous speakers, no stand-back to feature?
    Then who will sweep the leftover ash as leader,
    Flashed and flared and later? Hey, you sure the feelings we burned
    Show a show, classic, this shouldered cast should act by?
    When I tried overturning the first title the rats, at last, had died
    Here we reside, the right timeline,
    The context and content best of their kind
    Shunning the illness for the outbreak it caused,
    I stained my hands stealing the doleful folks’ trust
    That lying profit/phet was the way that we grew,
    Chewing up junk food just to cover the truth
    And yes, the voices sure God was dead,
    They left one day, have paid no visits since then
    The drunkards sick of swigging self-love,
    They fail at falling forward in pinch mania
    An upper hook that books your breath tight,
    And ever-leaking pipeline
    Best schemes conspired, gone ghetto, the road winds in dirt
    Right, left, think you can handle both the handles? Either
    Leave or please try to mind each, super driver
    Say, ain’t it a thesis? A common thought with closed eyes?
    Skipping some sixty min. stalemate, up ahead I sensed the rats, at last, had died
    Ambiguous speakers, no stand-back to feature?
    Then who will sweep the leftover ash as leader,
    Flashed and flared and later? Hey, you sure the feelings we burned
    Show a show, classic, this shouldered cast should act by?
    Spons’ring some pond’ring stalemate, up ahead I sensed the rats, at last, had died
    Free speech finally comes to life as
    Cats and frogs high leave the benches for an “All now rise!”
    Unaware of every nook and cranny squarely set they’re handin’ candid
    Rats, hoping to maintain some semblance of pride
    They name plain ways, lined up while the votes are flowing in,
    And lie like it’s no sin
    Burglar cat lappin’ facts up like a cat burglar,
    Do you also know me better than I know my face?
    (Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
    (La la la la la…)
    “One split dream and we’ll make you bleed if you’re caught”, they said,
    So I went ahead and blamed it on you instead! (Ha-ha!)
    Ambiguous speakers, no stand-back to feature?
    Then who will sweep the leftover ash as leader,
    Flashed and flared and later? Hey, you sure the feelings we burned
    Show a show, classic, this shouldered cast should act by?
    When I tried overturning the first title the rats, at last, had died
    Freedom with no sure aim or slummed in sludge, but no pure waste?
    Hobbies halt, still, when you give them a name, so does their
    Merit live out of focus in the first place? ‘Cause that
    Key place is the key we keep, with one sheet stammering farther inside
    So lashing out with all those doubts cast aside, we democrats, at last, had died
    At that time, we saw a bright cold sky…
    (La la la la la…)

      If anyone is struggling to keep up with the fast parts, I'd recommend slowing the video down and singing along when it's slower. You can learn the lyrics and when to sing them, and then as you go, slowly speed it up and you'll be able to sing it! I'm trying this method at the moment and it seems to be working, I can sing most of it ^^

      It's mainly about the Plague, a deadly disease that spread to parts of Europe and killed thousands, but it's actually about a book called The Plague written by Albert Camus which released in 1947. A small French town of Oran is attacked by the Plague and multiple problematic events are caused due to it.

    I thought the song was ironic in that the spread of democracy is like a plague infection.
    So I discussed some of the passages that caught my attention.
    1:41 The literal translation in Japanese is "I called in an epidemic, I took advantage of depression and dirtied my hands."
    The former took advantage of citizens who were tired of authoritarian regimes, etc., and spread an epidemic (democracy) among them,
    The person who created the epidemic abused the system and profited from it.
    1:48 The literal translation in Japanese is "Thus we were enriched, we swallowed the lie with junk food."
    After some years, the assets of some who profited from democracy were enriched,
    The abuse was covered up with easy, cheap junk food (democracy). (Maybe this is where I mention the McDonaldization of George Ritzer.)
    1:55 The literal translation in Japanese is, "The voices of fear that God is dead have ceased to cry out."
    "God is dead" is Nietzsche's critique of the existing moral spirit of the late 19th century,
    No one is left to raise issues as Nietzsche did, and no one is left to worry about democracy.
    In other words, the rats (democrats) who no longer think about the shortcomings of the democratic system and have given up questioning it, died.

    Ok, i gotta say, most of the time when i listen to a cover of a song, i usually refer to the first time i heard it for the first time, and for this one, it was a male cover.
    Things is i usually prefer voices that are close to what i heard originally, but your cover is something else.
    Despite being a female cover, your tone actually sound perfect, you truly nailed the boredom that the lyrics transcribe and i honestly think it's fantastic 'cuz you didn't tried to go over the top by adding high pitch notes that you expect from a female cover, and it's really pleasent to the hears, almost soothing.
    So yeah, a grand bravo !

    LYRICS
    The flowers helped to smell
    Like the spellings of Spring
    An iris to grey iris
    In the town gaining speed
    Delude and claim
    You can't sleep without stir
    They'll scan you with a glass eye
    To confirm your every word
    In ties and binds
    Eye-line tugging to a tee
    Those downcast drops
    Dropped on locks of secrecy
    Our feature presentation
    Gladly welcomes your ears
    Eyes shut with seeds so you don't need to
    Lose them through tears
    A new stop piece
    Deems someone guilty
    Although they "quote" no ogre
    To remain PC
    That read I slammed and stamped
    With past times
    The time past for
    A punchline
    Ambiguous speakers
    No stand back to feature?
    Then who will sweep the
    Leftover ash as Leader, flared and
    Flared and later?
    Hey, you sure the feelings we burned
    Show a show classic
    This shouldered cast should act by
    When I tried overturning
    The first title
    The rats at last
    Had died
    Here we reside
    The right timeline
    The context and content
    Best of their kind
    Shunning the illness
    For the outbreak
    It caused, I stained my hands
    Stealing the Doleful Folks' trust
    That lying prophet
    Was the way we grew
    Chewing up Junk Food
    Just to cover the truth
    And yes, the voice assured
    God was Dead
    They left one day
    Have paid no visit since then
    The drunkards sick of
    Swigging self Love
    They fail at falling
    Forward in pinch mania
    An upper hook
    That books you breath tight
    An ever-leaking
    Pipeline
    Best schemes conspired
    Gone ghetto
    The road
    Winds in dirt
    Right, Left, think you can
    Handle both handles?
    Either leave or please
    Try to mind each
    Super driver
    Say ain't it a thesis?
    A common thought
    With closed eyes
    Skipping some sixty
    Min stalemate
    Up ahead I sensed
    The rats, at last
    Had died
    Ambiguous speakers
    No stand back to feature?
    Then who will sweep the
    Leftover ash as Leader, flared and

    Free speech finally comes
    To life as the Cats and Frogs
    High leave the benches for
    An "All now rise!"
    Unaware of every
    Nook and cranny
    Squarely set they're
    Han-did candid
    Rats, hoping to maintain
    Some semblance of Pride
    They name plain ways
    Lined up while the
    Votes are flowing in, and
    Lie like it's no sin
    Burglar cat
    Lappin' facts
    Up like a
    Cat burglar

    Make you bleed if your'e

    Freedom with
    No sure aim
    Or slummed in sludge
    But no pure waste?
    Hobbies halt, still, when you
    Give them a Name
    So does their merit
    Live out of focus
    In the first place?
    Cause that key
    Place is the
    Key we keep
    With one sheet
    Stammering farther inside
    So lashing out
    With all those doubts
    Cast aside, we Democrats
    At last, had died
    At the time
    We saw a
    Bright cold
    Sky...

But it seems my fears were unfounded, because you absolutely nailed the lyrics! I'm honestly super impressed you were able to fit every syllable and key phrase so perfectly into this cover, not to mention how smoothly you're able to sing them! I honestly think this is one of your best covers, both for the incredible lyrics and your stunning voice being able to sing it all crystal clear. Good job, and a super huge kudos to you, Oktavia!

I’m always so impressed at the ability to write lyrics that not only fit perfectly with the melody, but also capture the original meaning AND sound beautifully poetic! I try writing my own lyrics sometimes but man, even just getting them to fit is the music is so hard, much less making them so beautifully poetic too.
