    Thank you all for your kind comments! I was not intending for this cover to gain this much attention! In fact, I'm re-releasing it tonight with new and improved vocals and mastering! Please go take a listen when it's uploaded, it would mean the world to me, and I think it would help tell the story the way I intended even better!

    I love the interpretation of the singer not knowing their gender or not identifying with either name, so both names are sung. That's so goddamn good, I feel like it elevates this cover in a way.

    Oh I adore that you changed Jane’s sob on “tell me who I am” into a growl it’s nicely startling

    I love the fact that anytime the original would say "Jane Doe" you can hear "John"

    For John, I love how the lyrics were changed to
    “Like Jane I’ll be, eternally
    A forgotten dawn
    Never gazed upon…” it’s just
    *chef’s kiss*

    i ..... honestly didn't think i could relate to this song any more but then you went and added a gender crisis to it so THANKS a LOT (for real though this is an amazing cover !!!! great job !!!!!!)

    This is a really awesome cover! Very cool to have two sets of lyrics for john and Jane. I just wished you were growling bit more in the higher notes instead of falsetto

      I look at every comments like that, saying that "omg, the mix Jane/John is so genius for non binary people" and I just stand here like... Johan seems gender neutral to me...

    I'm brought here by annapantsu, Justine, and of course the original singer. You interpret this song wonderfully, adding some rage to the despair and sadness already present in this depressed, unresolved person song. As someone who deals with chronic depression, and a long time performing arts kid/adult, I appreciate this song with multiple emotions and nuanced interpretation.

      Thank you!!! I'm so glad I was able to resonate with you in my interpretation! Not to self promo or anything, but this cover WAS recorded almost two years ago, so if you'd like, I have some more recent covers you might enjoy, dare I say, even more than this one! Thank you so much for your words! 💚

    Me hearing Ballad of Jane Doe for the first time, before finding this: Wow, this is such a Chara Dreemur song, but I doubt any nonbinary people have actually made a gender neutral cover of this song for that to work
    Me, upon finding this: *Vine thud sound effect*

      This instrumental was created with an online vocal remover. I used x-minus.pro for this, though in about a month, we'll have an original professional instrumental made for our upcoming cover album!

    it would be john doe. that’s what they call people who end up in the hospital with no identification. john doe or jane doe depending on their gender. so the ballad of john doe :)

    • @croutonwu
      @croutonwu  2 ปีที่แล้ว +56

      My edit of the lyrics was made to reflect a gender neutral interpretation of the song. In this interpretation, the singer does not know their gender/does not identify with either Jane or John, and so, both names are sung throughout the song.
      Thank you for your time.
