I really like the nuance of this song! As another commenter, @ReoGojira pointed out, this song is one that seems inspired by the success you found with writing songs for specific fandoms. In particular, they interpret it as giving up the potential in those songs for a closer knit and kinder community. I can definitely see that in this song, and understand how one can interpret it in that manner. However, when I first heard this song, I initially thought that giving up the “gold”, whatever it’s meant to represent, would be a bad thing. This stemmed from me believing that the “gold” wasn’t a representation of possible wealth or fame from writing songs for specific communities, but that the “gold” represented ideals you held dear. This was in part backed by the drawing with the music, as I imagined the golden locket to be the “gold” you were drowning for. Given that lockets tend to be representative of memories, I figured that the “gold” was ideals you held dear, while you were drowning in the differing opinions of others. Given the ending of the song, I feel that it is obvious that the “gold” is something that you didn’t truly hold dear, with the specific line “I don’t want to drown for gold”. I imagine that whatever the gold is, you had viewed it as valuable at the time, but realized with the help of others that it wasn’t worth the harm you were putting yourself through. Be it music or something else in your life that we on the internet aren’t aware of (and likely should never be aware of), I hope you’re able to move on from whatever was drowning you, and find something just as if not more valuable in the future. Overall, a very beautiful song, and I hope you continue to write more, even if we internet folk never get to hear them!
Wow, yeah, I actually really like this, the effect on your voice works well with the theme and the moral of the sing is sweet, lettering go of things of material value to be with those who love you. Great work Evi, adding this to my playlist for when I’m drawing
Yippee! I’ve been waiting for another original song!!! I love the imagery in this song. The long droning sounds remind me heavily of how sound travels underwater. While I do not know the intended meaning of this song, I find the idea of “drowning for gold” to be a chilling way of saying “dying to greed”. Greed is the folly of humanity. Why take when you could give? Are we not all human and thus deserving of each others aid? I haven’t commented in a while (life is life), but I would like to say thank you again for all of your work. I’ve been listening to a lot of your older songs and I still cannot understand how people can be so talented. I love the Internet. Have a good day! :D
At first I liked this song and understood its meaning, and I though it didn't apply to me. As I re-listen to this, I understand what my gold is -or was, and every lyric of this song makes sense to me. It's really beautiful, and now I can even apply it to my own life! Anyway, love your song, and hope that you keep going on your journey to go back above the waters, no matter how many times it'll take you to stop coming back to the water. Love ya! ♥
THIS IS REALLY COOL!!! It truly highlights what the feeling of grasping for what you think is the only thing left, when it actually hurts you and isn't worth sinking with it. That desperation, the grief and loss of letting go what you thought you treasured most, it's really melancholic and still freeing in that sense. GREAT SONG ONCE AGAIN ❤❤❤
i really enjoy and appreciate your original work !!! i love me a Video Game Song, but i also think you do a beautiful job of expressing emotions through song, so like ! thank you for expressing yourself like this. and thank you for the hope and peace you put into your music. like, at 1:11, it's impossible for me not to take a deep, grounding breath. anyways !! yeah !! just wanted to express that your original songs are really good and kick ass i and would love a playlist on the channel that contains them, if you are comfortable with that, because i receive great comfort from them c:
I love your fandom songs and I'm so glad you're getting into the Evidently Fresh fandom. Don't tell anyone I said this but I absolutely love Evidently Fresh
this is amazing! the vocals almost sound like they're in an underwater cavern, and are echoing off the walls :0 ~throws into the 'Russian roulette' playlist~ (I have a cacophony of songs i like and i throw them all in the same playlist. one friend called it "emotional whiplash")
As always. Nice work, Evidently! Sadly I can't listen to your song properly right now, cuz it's almost 3AM for me. But I still can hear at least something. And it's really chill! Thanks for your work! Just cuz of curiosity.. What'cha planning next?
WE FINALLY GOT AN ANOTHER ORIGINAL SONG! been a while And this sounds like a masterpiece, now, forgive me if I'm wrong (I'm normally so braindead in terms of details), but is the song suggesting (going by the end of the song) that you don't want to find such a big clout (unlike all the prideful and trashy pranksters I've seen) cuz you'll lose yourself in the process and by then you won't like the content you make that gave you all the popularity, you just want to make the content you like and take what you have that being a small and loving community?
Some emotions are restricted to a person or artist. You’re one of them. Tearing up in a long time. Thank you. I usually don’t understand the story and meaning behind a song, so may I ask what that is in this one?
a lot of it is based around many different things, but the main message I wanted to portray was letting go of harmful mindsets that can hinder yourself and your growth as an individual!
I haven't even fully heard all of it, and I am enjoying it already! It sounds freeing, and soothing.
BABE WAKE UP NEW EVIDENTLYFRESH SONG JUST DROPPED
EDIT: HGRHRGRHRGE THIS IS BEAUTIFUL

Holy shit. This feels like something I've went through, and now this song hits really hard.
I haven’t ever really listened to your originals, but your music is generally really good so imma take a listen

The ocean screams, as the greed takes over.

How do you make that white heart?🤍 because this isn’t the same one!
@@Weirdos-everywhere I think it's because I'm on laptop and you're probably on your phone
Oof ur right
well this hit me harder than i expected... great song as always, loved it
Awwww, I love this song. The little story and the symbolism are so nice, and your calm voice and theme wrap it all up in a way I just adore

I LOVE THE LYRICS AND ART??? WOAH 🤩🤩🤩🤩

anyways !! yeah !! just wanted to express that your original songs are really good and kick ass i and would love a playlist on the channel that contains them, if you are comfortable with that, because i receive great comfort from them c:
The music is calming! Also amazing music!
I thought the title said, "Drown for god"
Same thing🙃
I thought it was "drown for good"
That sounded dark
We would really be going down in the deep end with that one. 😉
Now this is pretty banging music, broski.
Is it strange that it kinda gives me Dire Dire Docks vibes? I think it's just because both songs have a comforting yet suffocating feeling to them
This is beautiful
I love your fandom songs and I'm so glad you're getting into the Evidently Fresh fandom. Don't tell anyone I said this but I absolutely love Evidently Fresh
I dont know if this joke worked quite as well as I wanted it to... nice original Evi!

WE FINALLY GOT AN ANOTHER ORIGINAL SONG! been a while
And this sounds like a masterpiece, now, forgive me if I'm wrong (I'm normally so braindead in terms of details), but is the song suggesting (going by the end of the song) that you don't want to find such a big clout (unlike all the prideful and trashy pranksters I've seen) cuz you'll lose yourself in the process and by then you won't like the content you make that gave you all the popularity, you just want to make the content you like and take what you have that being a small and loving community?
that's definitely a part of it yeah, especially the part about losing myself!
@@evidentlyfresh *phew* at least I got THAT right, I definitely feel that tho
Some emotions are restricted to a person or artist. You’re one of them. Tearing up in a long time. Thank you. I usually don’t understand the story and meaning behind a song, so may I ask what that is in this one?
a lot of it is based around many different things, but the main message I wanted to portray was letting go of harmful mindsets that can hinder yourself and your growth as an individual!
I feel like the audio for this is too distorted for this sound that it’s hard to hear.
it was kinda on purpose, but i see what you mean yeah!
@@evidentlyfresh ah got it, just stood out as usually your voice is clear and distinct
This sounds beautiful! Though quick question, are you doing okay? It sounded like a vent song, hope you’re doing okay.
yeah I'm doing good! just wanted to portray some feelings!
Beautiful song
Congratulations buddy
