“i just want my privacy” “i just want you here with me” “God, won’t you leave me alone?” “God, can we just get along?” those lines are so strong, it really shows their opinion on being together and even a bit of their opinion on each other
@@Lily-ko4jz im also pretty sure its referring to how in some conjoined twins one twin may be weaker than the other since they never fully developed and is dependent on the other to survive
@@mickys8065 Jason and Amanda Palmer created the persona and concept of the conjoined twins, and performed as them. So in a way yes, Evelyn Evelyn are the artist, but the performers are Jason and Amanda
This song has such an eerie vibe to it, especially since it’s based off of two real twin girls in the late 1800s to early 1900s. It really makes you think about what a dark time period it was for two conjoined twins.
At the end of the song when they’re arguing, I imagine the sister who wants to stay together finally gives in and agrees to risk surgery to split. But when the one that wanted her space wakes up after surgery to find out only she made it. Then to make things worse as the song ends she finds out from a doctor that there was only ever going to be one survivor, and that her sister knew that and sacrificed herself just so the other could be their own person. Finally, she was alone.
I’m reading a book right now where there’s a princess who accidentally used a love potion on herself so she fell in love, with *herself,* and her name is Evelyn so this song keeps coming into my head
Reminds me of me and my older sister she just wants to be alone and i enjoy her company and just want to talk to her we used be really close but now she is 17 and her birthday is almost here and she'll be gone and I'll be alone (Sorry that was depressing)
Conjoined twins Dissociation identy disorder A 2 faced mindset Mixed emotions This are literally the only ones that come to mind but they are literally so many others it's amazing
this song genuinely terrifies me and i don’t know why i swear it haunts me, every now and again it appears in my recommended and i always listen to it hoping that it’s different somehow but it just. scares me.
The piano. The musical notes. The lyrics. The words of hidden meaning. Everything in this song is filled with so much talent and beauty. Their voices of pain as she questions their life. The story of pain. This is the deepest, eerie, dark, sweet, sad song. Every lyric grips at my heart. Every word captivates me. So much Emotions stirrrrrr. I give my hat off to the song writer!!!
I know this song isn't about DID but it fits really well for me and is a huge comfort, it's really nice to listen to when I'm having a rough time with DID ngl
If this is really about conjointed twins, then it makes it even sadder to think that when they said "Why are you running away?" that they are talking to normal kids who are scared of their unusual appearance and run away out of fear. Edit: I hate to be "that guy" but dAYUM DEM LIKES-
ohh I thought because one said "I JUST WANT TIME TO MYSELF" and "just get away from me" etc I thought it meant like mentally (because they couldn't physically run away from each other when they were still attached before surgery) but both are sad
It's something that can be processed in multiple ways, one is what you said, and another Is them saying it to each other since they don't want to share a body
"a parasite needs a host" Damn Evelyn, you really do Evelyn like that smh T-T Edit: to the person who was crying, then started laughing at my joke, you are amazing and thank you for laughing at my terrible humor ❤
This song is about two conjoined sister's (Even tho one is a guy's voice but the characters are two girls) One's name is "eva" and the other one is name "Lyn" So toguether this sister's are named Evelyn This is just a really sad story for me Yeah I was wrong her name was Lyn and since when did this comment get so much attention Lmao
You're right, but there's a lot more story for that. Their whole backstory is in their song 'The Tragic Events of September'. It's 20 minutes long but it's really interesting.
So... their naming is basically the same as Warcraft's ogres? Because apparently the two-headed variants in that universe have compound names, where each part of the name refers to one of the individual heads.
Why does it feel like it's two personnalities in one person's mind trying to take control? I know it's about the twins though, but like it kinda be giving me that vibe as well.
i listened to this a lot growing up (not for any personal reason, i just really enjoy the song), and no matter how much i hear to it, the part after a parasite needing a host will always be absolutely beautiful and masterfully done. the voice cracks, conflicting lines and overcoming emotion in both voices are incredible and i've never heard a song like it
"today is our birthday So why are we weeping?" I know this song is about conjoined twins but it honestly reminds me of my issues with mental health. I'll always have that side to me
• Luna • Editz • I am an only child and none of my friends want to sing this with me, I sing it until they fight in which I either sing both parts til they sing at the same time or I alternate parts and will sing just one of the parts it’s hard because it’s a duet. It’s not meant for only one person. ITS A DUET.
“Sister Sister, Where Is Our Parents?” A - They Are Watching Over Us From Above. B - They Are With Us, Right Here Right Now. C - Stop Asking And Let’s find Our Path.
It's just like hanging out with a person, you get their customs they get yours, eventually it feels like they're you but to them it's the same, it's weird, creepy and cool at the same time so the fact the song uses that just gives it a different vibe
Yea like we get it you’re uncultured I confused some people and annoyed others. I was calling dream stans uncultured coz it took some speed runner for them to find this song and they probably don’t even know what this music is from. And the ppl defending the dream stans, Idm the creators Ik half of them are children I just don’t like the fans. You are all just proving my point. They are all dramatic and insanely defensive for their obsession icon person. I also don’t care about the fanpages and crap but they start wars when some insults one of the dream people
@@elixever so u dont wanna give mercy to these people getting raided by dsmp fans, huh? fine, FINE. STAY HOWEVER YOU ARE AND NEVER COME BACK UNTILL YOU REALISE
I know this is about conjoined twins, but personally this reminds me of what it's like to hate myself. Like there's always a part of me that wants to preserve and take care of myself, but then there's my depressed version of myself, and this is how those two sides of myself (or anyone with depression) talk to eachother.
I made it 100 likes! :D I know this is completely unrelated, I’m sorry. But personally I agree with you, it’s like both sides of your head arguing with each other. It’s so eerily disturbing but makes me emotional at the same time
I know what the song is about, but it’s so relatable to my struggle with anorexia. Feeing as if we are one in the same, but being so different. Having to grow up so quickly with it. “What shall we eat today?” “Why do we bother to stay?” “I feel like a ghost” “a parasite needs a host”. The constant fight of loving the disorder and wanting to get away from it at the same time.
Dude, I struggle with bulimia and used to struggle with anorexia. And even when I'm getting better I can totally understand what are you saying. Like, getting better is gain some weight too and that part is really hard sometimes bc there is this side of my brain that can't get the fact that we need those extra pounds... But I'm still trying anyway. For both of us, even if the other side of me is crying almost everynight. I hope you get better soon by the way and sorry for my bad english, I'm mexican...
@@kiminnerchild yeah but even then the sister that's missing is the one voiced by Jason. You can tell because at the end he's the one who wipes the window revealing himself and in the tragic events the one voiced by Amanda explains that she has a dream where the others gone.
"Should we be famous?" "They're watching us anyway" Ouch. As true as it is, it sucks that conjoined twins have to go through so much judgement from other people and struggles in general.
My best friend and I are growing apart recently due to distance, misunderstandings, and arguments and this song is very reminiscent of that relationship- like word for word comparison
@@traubel_4231 Yes except it's part of a story album where all of the songs are part of the narrative and very rarely metaphorical. I was just saying what the actual meaning is, you can take it however you want, but the real meaning is important too
I keep hearing "celery" instead of "severing"- "Don't you feel like c e l e r y" (Edit: this comment got way more attention than I thought it would lol. Thanks guys :) )
I imagine a girl standing in front of a mirror singing this to herself as her multi personality disorder increases leaving her scared and sad afraid to be herself for she has forgotten
This gives me an idea for a DND character. A two headed dragon cleric. One domain for each head. They start adventuring to find a spell to separate them form each other, giving both a separate body. Over the course of the adventure, one might want to stay in one body. This leads to a huge amount of bickering and argument, until they decide to get seperate bodies and just stay together in those bodies, becoming two dragons and lairing together, because being together is all they have ever known. As for domains, I was thinking grave and fire.
@@thelostsoul9446 Same, never played it but it sounds so interesting, some of my online friends are planning something and I'm so down but they will have to explain everything 😭
When I first listened to this I thought it was about two lovers since it was a girl and guy singing, then when I found out it was about conjoined twins, the world just clicked. Also at first I feel like Amanda's voice overpowered Jason's, then at the end where they're like yelling, Jason's TOTALLY overpowered Amanda's. Just a little observation, Lol Also also, I feel like Evelyn (Amanda) in the beginning wanted to be seperated and all Evelyn (Jason) wanted was to stay together and love each other. Then at the end Evelyn (Jason) wanted to be separated when all Evelyn (Amanda) wanted was to stay together and love each other.
I love how there's so many meanings to this song, from conjoined twins, two sides of your brain, to two complete opposite people or childhood friends arguing. Edit: If I were to be one of the conjoined twins, I'd probably be Jason, since I have such a bad temper and a need for privacy. I kind of feel like he would be me in a sense! I feel like my mom would be Amanda, since she always tries to make amends with people and guilt trips them, hence the line "But you never cared for me," along with how she never lets me have any privacy. I wouldn't say she would be like that for all of the song, just the arguing part.
I know this song is about conjoined twins but I feel like it would be intresting to do an animatic to this as in on of the Evelyns was an actual person while the other one is an alter version of themselves made from Anxiety, Depression, and Distorders. It could fit in a way because technically there joined together because the second person is the real persons negative mind. Just a thought.
but then the negative mind would be their own person because they would want to stay and the other balances them out and they don’t get what they’re doing wrong. or if you wanna reverse it one of them would want the depression to stay kinda odd
@@alli_xo1017 just draw every day. It doesn’t matter how ugly it looks, I’ve been drawing for 5 months and you make improvements. I would like to do an animatic, I haven’t done anything like that before. Maybe I’ll try it out
this hits different when you think about aether and lumine having an argument right before one of them is taken away by the unknown god meaning they never got to apologize.
(Edit: I’m not in the dream smp community anymore) As a fellow dream smp fan I found this song YEARS ago. This song is actually about a conjoined twin. It’s really sad. But I am pretty glad that dream smp fans found it. This song deserves SOOOOOO much more attention. It’s just godlike. But please don’t think this is just about a girl and a boy. I know it’s about two girls. But I wanted to inform people it’s not just about a girl and a boy since one of the singers is male. Yes, I know the story behind it.
im not here from sadist but im going to assume there was an animation lol the album "Evelyn Evelyn" is really good. story on conjoined twins cursed from the day of their birth
When I was younger this song made me paranoid extremely. It fit me when I looked in the mirror and you could just think of the mental struggles that I’ll have to get through. I always wanted to be left alone and have time to myself to figure out myself. I was one of those kids in school that sat in the back and didn’t participate because I felt like puking at the thought of everyone starting at me.
I understand completely. The song is about conjoined twins, but it can also fit pretty much any type of mental and emotional struggles, as well as disorders.
So I’m late to the party but I found this song recently (Idk how tho). I once got so anxious and depressed that I ended up schizophrenic side affects. My main voice was named Lauretta, and she stayed fir a long time. I got rid of her, but occasionally, if I get too emotional, she likes to make a reappearance. This song makes me think of her, our toxic relationship (despite her being fake), and our history. How she was everything and nothing to me at the same time. How we were always together, and the torture she put me through. At the climax of the song, I was sobbing because I could feel it so much.
Sonic the Hedgehog is the title character and the protagonist of the Sonic the Hedgehog video game series published by Sega, as well as numerous spin-off comics, animations, and other media. Sonic is a blue anthropomorphic hedgehog who can run at supersonic speeds and curl into a ball, primarily to attack enemies. In most games, Sonic must race through levels, collecting power-up rings and avoiding obstacles and enemies. Programmer Yuji Naka and artist Naoto Ohshima are generally credited with creating Sonic. Most of the games are developed by Sonic Team. The original Sonic the Hedgehog (1991) was released to provide Sega with a mascot to rival Nintendo's flagship character Mario. Sonic was redesigned by Yuji Uekawa for Sonic Adventure (1998), with a more mature look designed to appeal to older players. Sonic is one of the world's best-known video game characters and a gaming icon. His series had sold more than 80 million copies by 2011. In 2005, Sonic was one of the first game character inductees into the Walk of Game alongside Mario, Link, and Master Chief. While Sega was seeking a flagship series to compete with Nintendo's Mario series, several character designs were submitted by its research and development department. Many results came forth from their experiments with character design, including an armadillo (who was later developed into Mighty the Armadillo), a dog, a Theodore Roosevelt look-alike in pajamas (who would later be the basis of Dr. Robotnik/Eggman's design), and a rabbit (who would use its extendable ears to collect objects, an aspect later incorporated in Ristar). Naoto Ohshima took some of these internal designs with him on a trip to New York City and sought feedback by asking random passersby at Central Park their opinions; of the designs, the spiky teal hedgehog, initially codenamed "Mr. Needlemouse", led this informal poll, followed by Eggman and the dog character. Ohshima felt that people selected it because it "transcends race and gender and things like that". On return to Japan, Ohshima pitched this to the department, and the hedgehog was ultimately selected as the new mascot. The detailed design of Sonic was aimed to be something that could be easily drawn by children and be familiar, as well as exhibit a "cool" attitude, representative of the United States at the time. Sonic's blue pigmentation was chosen to match Sega's cobalt blue logo, and his shoes evolved from a design inspired by Michael Jackson's boots with the addition of the color red, which was inspired by both Santa Claus and the contrast of those colors on Jackson's 1987 album Bad; his personality was based on then-presidential candidate and later President of the United States Bill Clinton's "Get it done" attitude during the 1992 presidential campaign. To help sell the idea to Sega's higher-ups, Ohshima pitched the concept framed by a fictional fighter pilot that had earned the name "Hedgehog" due to his spiky hair, and had decorated his plane with images of Sonic. When this pilot retired, he married a children's book author, who wrote stories about the Sonic character, the first which became the plot for the first Sonic game; Ohshima stated that this influence can be seen in the logo of the game, which features Sonic in a pilot's wing emblem. The origins of Sonic can be traced farther back to a tech demo created by Yuji Naka, who had developed an algorithm that allowed a sprite to move smoothly on a curve by determining its position with a dot matrix. Naka's original prototype was a platform game that involved a fast-moving character rolling in a ball through a long winding tube, and this concept was subsequently fleshed out with Oshima's character design and levels conceived by designer Hirokazu Yasuhara. Sonic was created without the ability to swim because of a mistaken assumption by Yuji Naka that all hedgehogs could not do so. A group of fifteen people started working on the first Sonic the Hedgehog game, and renamed themselves Sonic Team. The game's soundtrack was composed by Masato Nakamura of the band Dreams Come True. Sega sponsored the group's "Wonder 3" tour, painting Sonic on the tour bus, distributing pamphlets advertising the game, and having footage of the game broadcast above stage prior to its release. The original concepts gave Sonic fangs and put him in a band with a human girlfriend named Madonna. However, a team from Sega of America, led by Madeline Schroeder, who calls herself "Sonic's mother", softened" the character up for an American audience by removing those elements. This sparked a heated issue with Sonic Team. Naka later admitted that it was probably for the best. Sonic's appearance varies greatly depending on the medium and the style in which he is drawn. In the video games, Sonic's original design by Oshima was short and round, with short quills, a round body, and no visible irises. Artwork featuring this design and drawn by Akira Watanabe was displayed on the package artwork for Sonic the Hedgehog. Sonic's proportions would change for the release of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on the Mega Drive; Sonic's head to height ratio was changed from 1:2 to 1:2.5. For the 1998 release of Sonic Adventure, Sonic was redesigned by Yuji Uekawa as a character with longer legs and a less spherical body, longer and more drooping quills, and green-colored irises. For the 2006 game, Sonic was redesigned to make him look adult-like and taller to appeal to the next generation players. This was also done because Sonic would interact with humans more often and his design was supposed to fit. An alternative "Werehog" form was introduced in Sonic Unleashed, placing more emphasis on Sonic's melee skills rather than speed. Although Tetsu Katano acknowledged the large negative fan response to the Werehog, he believes it could return in a future game. Bob Raffei, CEO of Sonic Boom developer Big Red Button, stated that Sonic Boom's Sonic is "very different ... both in tone and art direction".
Glad I learned of this song through the animatic, but not because the animatic made it good, but because the song and the story surrounding it is good. I don't see why some people can't just appreciate it for what it is and not the fact that someone popular used it...
The argument part (and the song in general) made me think of OMORI, specifically Mari and Sunny. The argument is, of course, their argument. The part that just repeats “Evelyn, Evelyn” makes me think of Basil rushing to cover up the evidence. That big instrumental crescendo at the end would be when Sunny turned around to see SOMETHING for the first time.
PeachTea honestly thought that was what the song was about one half of you that wants to keep someone close and doing anything for that to happen and the other part of you that tries to run away from the person
@@spinel-hanginwithdadaimunz4030 But it also of course has a set meaning, as a lot of songs do. It's up for interpretation but we have to keep in mind what it actually is about as well.
Very much fran bow vibes with the twins. With the one sister being sad and the other being angry. In this song, they're both justifiable in their own way. One is used to the comfort of having somebody around and the other wants to be free. The other girls are just crazy
Everyone is sharing of how they interpret the song. So I'll do the same. for me, its personal as sometimes I see this as my mental health, along with my dysphoria as I've always wanted to be a boy
I know this isn’t the meaning of the song, obviously, but goddamn this reminds me of me and my manipulative father. Obviously not all the lines, but “what should we eat tonight? What do we wear today?” Is one of the ones that kinda messes with me. He hates when I, y’know, have opinion, so if I throw up because he basically forced me to eat something I know would make me throw up, it doesn’t matter to him, and if I wanna wear my own damn clothes that I like, it doesn’t matter to him. I don’t really have any newer clothes, they’re all older pieces that somehow still fit me, because if I go shopping, he’ll have me dressed in pink mini skirts and slvtty dresses in no time. That ending part is a whole new page. “Please just stop touching me,” is a line I shiver at, because my dad forces physical affection on me and says things like “I make decisions about your body, not you” or “I control what happens to your body, not you.” The idea that he’s trying to manipulate and then comfort, and when that doesn’t work, trap me with physical affection? It’s what he does and the song portrays that for me. The last bits are a bit swapped up. I think a lot of when my parents weren’t divorced, before he ran through five more wives, and he hates that. I love my mother, and he hates her. He thinks I’m an item, that I owe him my everything, but I think all I owe him is a court case, honestly. He wants to “get along,” but not in a normal sense, and I just wanna be alone. The song gives me chills, man- Edit: UPDATE TO EVERYONE!! TYSM FOR ALL THE SUPPORT OML AHHH It’s been a year, almost two I think, and now I can say I’m out of the house. We took him to court; a lot of running, collecting evidence (which rly wasn’t much :[ ), hiding things, and lying. We tried our best and won on a technicality. My mental health has greatly declined still, but I’m safe at my moms house :]. He barely gets to see me and he’s threatening to abandon as bait. If anyone wants more detailed explanations, I’ve got long ass stories 💪💪 I’ve noticed that this old comment really didn’t explain everything well enough as I want to, so take it with a grain of salt, I downplayed it in there- Seriously though, this comment thread was very important to me at the time and coming back six months later has rekindled my thanks [:
Ok, so I dont know the whole story behind this song, but this is the story I made up in my head. The song is about two girls both named Evelyn, and they were the best of friends. They did everything together, and would even eat the same foods, and dress in the same clothe. They were so close, that people started to think they were twins. One day, the girls come across a well, and decide to make a wish to never be apart. The next day, they wake up attached to each other like conjoined twins. At first they are overjoyed, and are more than excited to spend the rest of there lives together, but soon, one of the Evelyn's starts to want to be apart from the other Evelyn, so she can live her own life away from hers, feeling as if she isn't her own person, and that she is just a clone of the other Evelyn. The other Evelyn however, doesn't want to be apart, and is upset that the other Evelyn wants to leave her. They grow to dispise each other, and argue nonstop over everything. They are now cursed to forever be connected.... (Or until one of them kills them self and the other Evelyn, one of the two)
Kiara Perry Well, it’s about conjoined sisters, and long story short, they are humiliated and stuff, and in others songs there are hints that one of the twins was jealous that her boyfriend only liked her for her sister, and got jealous.
This song got on my recommended probably because SAD-ist used it in her dream SMP animatic but this song has so much more meaning wow...it’s like two different personalities in the same body. I’m not an artist but if there are any dream SMP artists out there I think it would be really cool if someone used this song for a ranboo animation, ya know since his character kinda clashes together sometimes I think this song works really well with ranboos character :)
Everyone: hehe Evelyn Evelyn go brrr Me: *trying to figure out which oc fits with this song because there so many that do* Edit: even tho I don't like edits on comments please listen to the song only to support the artist and not to barrade the comments section about another artist making money off their work 😁
I love how their voices are just barely not cracking, feeling on edge like they're getting more and more stressed. From the beginning there's this underlying feeling to the song, with hints in the lyrics, until at the end it swells up into their fight.

Well I always do that, then I became even more upset
If this is really about conjointed twins, then it makes it even sadder to think that when they said "Why are you running away?" that they are talking to normal kids who are scared of their unusual appearance and run away out of fear.
Edit: I hate to be "that guy" but dAYUM DEM LIKES-
ohh I thought because one said "I JUST WANT TIME TO MYSELF" and "just get away from me" etc I thought it meant like mentally (because they couldn't physically run away from each other when they were still attached before surgery) but both are sad
It's something that can be processed in multiple ways, one is what you said, and another Is them saying it to each other since they don't want to share a body
Wha wha I just thought one of the conjoined twins was trying to *run away from the person she’s connected to*
I thought they were staying somewhere, and one wanted to leave while the other wanted to stay.
This song really does have a lot of meanings.
Man i didnt think of that

This song is about two conjoined sister's
(Even tho one is a guy's voice but the characters are two girls)
One's name is "eva" and the other one is name "Lyn"
So toguether this sister's are named Evelyn
This is just a really sad story for me
Yeah I was wrong her name was Lyn and since when did this comment get so much attention Lmao
Her name is Lyn you person on the internet
You're right, but there's a lot more story for that. Their whole backstory is in their song 'The Tragic Events of September'. It's 20 minutes long but it's really interesting.
So... their naming is basically the same as Warcraft's ogres? Because apparently the two-headed variants in that universe have compound names, where each part of the name refers to one of the individual heads.
@@mr.outlaw231 I mean I've never played that, but basically, yes.

The constant fight of loving the disorder and wanting to get away from it at the same time.

This gives me an idea for a DND character. A two headed dragon cleric. One domain for each head. They start adventuring to find a spell to separate them form each other, giving both a separate body. Over the course of the adventure, one might want to stay in one body. This leads to a huge amount of bickering and argument, until they decide to get seperate bodies and just stay together in those bodies, becoming two dragons and lairing together, because being together is all they have ever known. As for domains, I was thinking grave and fire.

I love how there's so many meanings to this song, from conjoined twins, two sides of your brain, to two complete opposite people or childhood friends arguing.
Edit: If I were to be one of the conjoined twins, I'd probably be Jason, since I have such a bad temper and a need for privacy. I kind of feel like he would be me in a sense! I feel like my mom would be Amanda, since she always tries to make amends with people and guilt trips them, hence the line "But you never cared for me," along with how she never lets me have any privacy.

but then the negative mind would be their own person because they would want to stay and the other balances them out and they don’t get what they’re doing wrong. or if you wanna reverse it one of them would want the depression to stay kinda odd

Look up "Evelyn Evelyn Animatic" it's great.
Sonic the Hedgehog is the title character and the protagonist of the Sonic the Hedgehog video game series published by Sega, as well as numerous spin-off comics, animations, and other media. Sonic is a blue anthropomorphic hedgehog who can run at supersonic speeds and curl into a ball, primarily to attack enemies. In most games, Sonic must race through levels, collecting power-up rings and avoiding obstacles and enemies.
Programmer Yuji Naka and artist Naoto Ohshima are generally credited with creating Sonic. Most of the games are developed by Sonic Team. The original Sonic the Hedgehog (1991) was released to provide Sega with a mascot to rival Nintendo's flagship character Mario. Sonic was redesigned by Yuji Uekawa for Sonic Adventure (1998), with a more mature look designed to appeal to older players.
Sonic is one of the world's best-known video game characters and a gaming icon. His series had sold more than 80 million copies by 2011. In 2005, Sonic was one of the first game character inductees into the Walk of Game alongside Mario, Link, and Master Chief. While Sega was seeking a flagship series to compete with Nintendo's Mario series, several character designs were submitted by its research and development department. Many results came forth from their experiments with character design, including an armadillo (who was later developed into Mighty the Armadillo), a dog, a Theodore Roosevelt look-alike in pajamas (who would later be the basis of Dr. Robotnik/Eggman's design), and a rabbit (who would use its extendable ears to collect objects, an aspect later incorporated in Ristar). Naoto Ohshima took some of these internal designs with him on a trip to New York City and sought feedback by asking random passersby at Central Park their opinions; of the designs, the spiky teal hedgehog, initially codenamed "Mr. Needlemouse", led this informal poll, followed by Eggman and the dog character. Ohshima felt that people selected it because it "transcends race and gender and things like that". On return to Japan, Ohshima pitched this to the department, and the hedgehog was ultimately selected as the new mascot.
The detailed design of Sonic was aimed to be something that could be easily drawn by children and be familiar, as well as exhibit a "cool" attitude, representative of the United States at the time. Sonic's blue pigmentation was chosen to match Sega's cobalt blue logo, and his shoes evolved from a design inspired by Michael Jackson's boots with the addition of the color red, which was inspired by both Santa Claus and the contrast of those colors on Jackson's 1987 album Bad; his personality was based on then-presidential candidate and later President of the United States Bill Clinton's "Get it done" attitude during the 1992 presidential campaign. To help sell the idea to Sega's higher-ups, Ohshima pitched the concept framed by a fictional fighter pilot that had earned the name "Hedgehog" due to his spiky hair, and had decorated his plane with images of Sonic. When this pilot retired, he married a children's book author, who wrote stories about the Sonic character, the first which became the plot for the first Sonic game; Ohshima stated that this influence can be seen in the logo of the game, which features Sonic in a pilot's wing emblem.
The origins of Sonic can be traced farther back to a tech demo created by Yuji Naka, who had developed an algorithm that allowed a sprite to move smoothly on a curve by determining its position with a dot matrix. Naka's original prototype was a platform game that involved a fast-moving character rolling in a ball through a long winding tube, and this concept was subsequently fleshed out with Oshima's character design and levels conceived by designer Hirokazu Yasuhara.
Sonic was created without the ability to swim because of a mistaken assumption by Yuji Naka that all hedgehogs could not do so. A group of fifteen people started working on the first Sonic the Hedgehog game, and renamed themselves Sonic Team. The game's soundtrack was composed by Masato Nakamura of the band Dreams Come True. Sega sponsored the group's "Wonder 3" tour, painting Sonic on the tour bus, distributing pamphlets advertising the game, and having footage of the game broadcast above stage prior to its release. The original concepts gave Sonic fangs and put him in a band with a human girlfriend named Madonna. However, a team from Sega of America, led by Madeline Schroeder, who calls herself "Sonic's mother", softened" the character up for an American audience by removing those elements. This sparked a heated issue with Sonic Team. Naka later admitted that it was probably for the best.
Sonic's appearance varies greatly depending on the medium and the style in which he is drawn. In the video games, Sonic's original design by Oshima was short and round, with short quills, a round body, and no visible irises. Artwork featuring this design and drawn by Akira Watanabe was displayed on the package artwork for Sonic the Hedgehog. Sonic's proportions would change for the release of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on the Mega Drive; Sonic's head to height ratio was changed from 1:2 to 1:2.5. For the 1998 release of Sonic Adventure, Sonic was redesigned by Yuji Uekawa as a character with longer legs and a less spherical body, longer and more drooping quills, and green-colored irises. For the 2006 game, Sonic was redesigned to make him look adult-like and taller to appeal to the next generation players. This was also done because Sonic would interact with humans more often and his design was supposed to fit. An alternative "Werehog" form was introduced in Sonic Unleashed, placing more emphasis on Sonic's melee skills rather than speed. Although Tetsu Katano acknowledged the large negative fan response to the Werehog, he believes it could return in a future game. Bob Raffei, CEO of Sonic Boom developer Big Red Button, stated that Sonic Boom's Sonic is "very different ... both in tone and art direction".
Yeah it so annoying
You can't see them unless you filtered it at newest first and just ignore them
Its so annoying
Glad I learned of this song through the animatic, but not because the animatic made it good, but because the song and the story surrounding it is good.
I don't see why some people can't just appreciate it for what it is and not the fact that someone popular used it...
Who's sad-ist?
I love this song
Same
This song is beautiful. Had me at tears ngl,
no wonder sadist used this for her new animatic, this is fantastic
mmm
Agreed! It was so good!
It's like a month old animatic wdym
@@kreonidas7475 check her newest animatic, it’s about tubbo and tommy being eve and lyn

god i'm so excited for sad-ist's animatic of this :)
The argument part (and the song in general) made me think of OMORI, specifically Mari and Sunny.
The argument is, of course, their argument. The part that just repeats “Evelyn, Evelyn” makes me think of Basil rushing to cover up the evidence. That big instrumental crescendo at the end would be when Sunny turned around to see SOMETHING for the first time.
Omori fandom Les goooooo(ㆁωㆁ)

This song really brings home to me, is Borderline Personality Disorder.
You’ve been 69’d
@@Izzy-ky7ci what?
PeachTea honestly thought that was what the song was about one half of you that wants to keep someone close and doing anything for that to happen and the other part of you that tries to run away from the person
The song can be about whatever you like, its a form of art!
@@spinel-hanginwithdadaimunz4030 But it also of course has a set meaning, as a lot of songs do. It's up for interpretation but we have to keep in mind what it actually is about as well.
I imagine conjoined twins back in old times where no one knew how to deal with it,neither did twins. One is taking control while the other is an echo.
This song really just hits different knowing it's about conjoined twins wanting to seperate
Very much fran bow vibes with the twins. With the one sister being sad and the other being angry. In this song, they're both justifiable in their own way. One is used to the comfort of having somebody around and the other wants to be free. The other girls are just crazy
Everyone is sharing of how they interpret the song. So I'll do the same. for me, its personal as sometimes I see this as my mental health, along with my dysphoria as I've always wanted to be a boy
@Meggy I can relate. ☺️ stay strong. Stay happy. Please?
You _are_ a boy. Your body just doesn't know it yet.
@@zodiackitten6110 it does now♡
@@pockypride8661 I'm happy for you, man. You deserve it.
@@zodiackitten6110 thank you my friendo♡
I didn't realize this was about conjoined twins at first and thought it was about multiple personality disorder...still fits the song tbh
having alters is bad unless you learn to control them, i know from, well i have them i'd honestly rather have a conjoined twin
@@MysticGrey if you don't mind me asking, what is it like to have alters?
Having a spilt personality is a JoJi refrence
@@MysticGrey that is not how it works but ok
@@aL-ys1ze it's sort of like having a group of friends over, except they live in your head so no one else can see/hear them and they're there 24/7
For anyone who doesn't know, the song is about conjoined twins. I'm not trying to be rude, I'm trying to be helpful and let you know
I think everyone knows by now
I know this isn’t the meaning of the song, obviously, but goddamn this reminds me of me and my manipulative father.
Obviously not all the lines, but “what should we eat tonight? What do we wear today?” Is one of the ones that kinda messes with me. He hates when I, y’know, have opinion, so if I throw up because he basically forced me to eat something I know would make me throw up, it doesn’t matter to him, and if I wanna wear my own damn clothes that I like, it doesn’t matter to him. I don’t really have any newer clothes, they’re all older pieces that somehow still fit me, because if I go shopping, he’ll have me dressed in pink mini skirts and slvtty dresses in no time.
That ending part is a whole new page. “Please just stop touching me,” is a line I shiver at, because my dad forces physical affection on me and says things like “I make decisions about your body, not you” or “I control what happens to your body, not you.” The idea that he’s trying to manipulate and then comfort, and when that doesn’t work, trap me with physical affection? It’s what he does and the song portrays that for me. The last bits are a bit swapped up. I think a lot of when my parents weren’t divorced, before he ran through five more wives, and he hates that. I love my mother, and he hates her. He thinks I’m an item, that I owe him my everything, but I think all I owe him is a court case, honestly. He wants to “get along,” but not in a normal sense, and I just wanna be alone.
The song gives me chills, man-
Edit: UPDATE TO EVERYONE!!
TYSM FOR ALL THE SUPPORT OML AHHH
It’s been a year, almost two I think, and now I can say I’m out of the house. We took him to court; a lot of running, collecting evidence (which rly wasn’t much :[ ), hiding things, and lying. We tried our best and won on a technicality. My mental health has greatly declined still, but I’m safe at my moms house :]. He barely gets to see me and he’s threatening to abandon as bait. If anyone wants more detailed explanations, I’ve got long ass stories 💪💪 I’ve noticed that this old comment really didn’t explain everything well enough as I want to, so take it with a grain of salt, I downplayed it in there-
Seriously though, this comment thread was very important to me at the time and coming back six months later has rekindled my thanks [:
I’m sorry
@@IOSIRIS It’s fine. I’m literally about to take him to court, so things will either get ten times better or impossibly worse-
@@thatonebagel6961 good luck. I hope you win the case
Update?
@@thatonebagel6961 Miss are you ok? Any updates?
Ok, so I dont know the whole story behind this song, but this is the story I made up in my head.
The song is about two girls both named Evelyn, and they were the best of friends. They did everything together, and would even eat the same foods, and dress in the same clothe. They were so close, that people started to think they were twins. One day, the girls come across a well, and decide to make a wish to never be apart. The next day, they wake up attached to each other like conjoined twins. At first they are overjoyed, and are more than excited to spend the rest of there lives together, but soon, one of the Evelyn's starts to want to be apart from the other Evelyn, so she can live her own life away from hers, feeling as if she isn't her own person, and that she is just a clone of the other Evelyn. The other Evelyn however, doesn't want to be apart, and is upset that the other Evelyn wants to leave her. They grow to dispise each other, and argue nonstop over everything. They are now cursed to forever be connected....
(Or until one of them kills them self and the other Evelyn, one of the two)
It's about siameses sisters that have been through some messed up shit
Kiara Perry
Well, it’s about conjoined sisters, and long story short, they are humiliated and stuff, and in others songs there are hints that one of the twins was jealous that her boyfriend only liked her for her sister, and got jealous.
@@annaan2156 OOOOHH!! That makes a lot more sense XD
If you check out the album, Evelyn Evelyn on Spotify, they explain the story, it's actually kinda close to your theory
@@meowmeowfullstop Thanks for the info!! I don't have Spotify, but I will try to check it out! :)
This song got on my recommended probably because SAD-ist used it in her dream SMP animatic but this song has so much more meaning wow...it’s like two different personalities in the same body. I’m not an artist but if there are any dream SMP artists out there I think it would be really cool if someone used this song for a ranboo animation, ya know since his character kinda clashes together sometimes I think this song works really well with ranboos character :)
Finnalyyyyyy someone commented this
The "two different personalities in the same body" part is more literal that you might think
Cool i decided to go and read all the comments and found MANY dsmp things, also I’m replying to all of them so hi
I agree and I'm a fan of the dream smp too.... but just, stop.
PLEASE A RANBOO ANIMATKOM WOULD BE SO COOL
Everyone: hehe Evelyn Evelyn go brrr
Me: *trying to figure out which oc fits with this song because there so many that do*
Edit: even tho I don't like edits on comments please listen to the song only to support the artist and not to barrade the comments section about another artist making money off their work 😁
Mood
Me: *yes*
I made OCs based off this song.
Justice and Destiny. Conjoined Twins. I had fun writing their depressing story.
.
Listen you can’t just call me out like this-
Omg same tho.
The way it gets intense and intense just makes the meaning of the song deeper, and i love it.
