I've seen people make timelines of the Crooner series, and since this is probably the last time we'll see our dear Mr. Rose, I wanted to go ahead and put this together; The Vapid Life And Unsurprising Death Of Valentine Rose, aka the full story of the Crooner as I see it. If we get a fifth Crooner song, I will be updating this. Before we begin, I want to note that this will be going off of this timeline; Kix --> Me and Mr. Wolf --> Don't Get High No More --> The Show Must Go On. Now that that's out of the way, let's get started. Valentine Rose was a man of many vices. When he wasn't dancing till dawn and drinking like mortality escaped him, he was spending... shall we say, quality time alone with any lady who had never heard his name. Valentine had no false delusions of him being a good man. He was a selfish, cruel, hedonistic disaster of a person, surprisingly well-hidden by his sharp attire and charming grin. One of the common things his past lovers called him was the wolf in sheep's clothing. Now, while Valentine was well-versed in the pleasures of the flesh, a fulfilling, honest relationship eternally escaped him, mostly in part due to his gratuitous love of all manner of alcohol and drugs over other people. But the closest he ever got to true love was in a fancy, done-up prostitute he hooked up with on his way home one night, one that he accidentally ended up falling head over heels for. She was seductively manipulative, and hungry for attention whenever she could find it. The darkness in her eyes rivaled her lover's, and her dainty viciousness called to him like the booze never had. Finally, Valentine had thought, someone who can understand the way I get my kicks. Finally, someone I won't suck dry. Valentine was right. Instead, she did it to him. Ate up every scrap of love he gave her and dumped him on the street corner when he had no more to give, just like he had for all of those girls in the past. Call it divine retribution, call it karma, whatever you like. Valentine Rose was at a loss for what to do. He'd never felt so empty in his life, having always lived the life of the predator, rather than the prey. It destroyed him. He tried to return to his old hedonistic ways, but no amount of sex or liquor could compare to how he'd felt with her. It all felt so... hollow, and worthless. No matter how hard he tried, his days of carefree self-destruction were gone, replaced by a slow degradation of the body and mind. But, thoughts about his own morality aside, Mr. Rose was by no means a humble man, and, too prideful to admit that he had been wrong his entire life, continued to boredly destroy himself, culminating in a cruise he went on because he could think of nothing else to do with his time, other than get wasted and cry about his one true love to some crusty barkeep for the third time that week. Valentine hadn't known about the storm. He hadn't known how destructive it would be. But when he caught word that the ship was sinking... well. He didn't exactly try very hard to find a lifeboat.
I like how he can't seem to "fly" no more, but in Kix he stated that she "gave him wings so he flew". I also love the allegory of how his whole life seems fake, like he's an actor. Despite doing everything he did before he met the blonde from Me and Mr Wolf, he doesn't feel joy from it anymore. Despite him supposedly having the "wings" that would allow him freedom, it now seems worthless as the freedom to do what he wants is empty without the blonde. Also the locusts mean death and degredation, he slowly wastes away his life despite feeling no joy from his unsavory and damaging habits. I love the Tuesday Weld so much! So much material to disect! Edit:something else I noticed, this song and the very end of Me and Mr Wolf are the only songs in the entire series when he isn't smiling.
I know im like 5 Months late, but I think I know what’s going on: We first start off with Kix, where the Crooner meets a girl, falls in love, then later dumps her after he doesn’t enjoy her anymore. At the end, he stares at the moon, this is him transforming into the wolf. The Wolf dates and dumps many girls, until he meets the girl in Me and Mr. Wolf. The girl is just like him, dating and dumping many guys. The Wolf/Crooner falls in love, but the girl does not, and the girl breaks up with him. This “kills” the wolf and turns him back into the Crooner. We then go to I Can’t Get High No More, which shows a broken hearted Crooner who can no longer get his kicks after the girl dumped him. The ending line “things aren’t the way they were before since you kicked down my door” refers to the girl in Me and Mr. Wolf entering his life and leaving it. The final scene on the boat brings us to The Show Must Go On. The Show Must Go On is the hardest one to understand, but my thought is that “the show must go on” refers to him going back to his old ways after getting over the heartbreak. In the end his human form drowns and dies, leaving only the Wolf to forever date girls only to dump them once he cant get his kicks out of them. That’s my interpretation of the story.
SOME MORE FUN FACTS: • Only specifically an eye-moon(which i presume is sort of a full moon) turns the crooner into a wolf • Drinking alcohol calms him down and prevents him from turning into the wolf, but eternal hangovers is the consequence :c • The clarinet player is a fish for some reason here and in *me and mr wolf* , but a human *in the show must go on*
i think the eye moon thing is metaphorical, under the cover of night and her intentioned gaze on him - the thing he wants from her, to truly capture her attention - turns him into the wolf / monster that she wants him to be, the only aspect of himself that she sees and wants to see, and at the end of the song when the eye closes, - the woman closing her eyes from the sight of him, the woman does not want to SEE him anymore, literally and figuratively, and so she leaves him - and it turns him back into a man
So, it seems to me that the sisters represent alchohol/other vices, because they have control over Valentine(main char). He is on a set, a stage that is his life. They are the directors of that set. He is submerged and drowning in the glass that they hold, they are in control of a joystick as he is a character in the game, and they are on the boat that's in The show must go on. It is not "The Real Tuesday Weld feat. The Puppini Sisters", it's "versus The Puppini Sisters". He is fighting against them.
nostalgia hit me like a truck! I was really into electro swing like a year ago and I really loved tuesday welds music. I was really hyped when i saw the trailer of this song but I almost forgot about it.. but today i got the notification and damn its so nice!!!
My name is Rose Valentine, and that’s how I got introduced to this timeline and story. I will never regret finding out about this series. I absolutely love the timeline and his lifetime. My friends usually mocked me around by telling I was the big bad wolf or something like that, and since I didn’t understand, they introduced me to this. Please keep doing this, this is amazing!
for a while now I have this theory that the crooner murdered his past lovers and he's been drinking nonstop for it-- the way the Puppini sisters are dressed in black except when they're in the clouds, the way they seem to haunt the crooner, how he falls to hell, and the bloody shed scene in "Me and Mr. Wolf" and other parts from that video-- or maybe I'm thinking too literally? hehehe! I'm basing some of my thoughts on The Real Tuesday Weld's older music as well, but maybe those are too far back?
also also!! In the song “ghosts” (even though it’s not a part of the animated video series) a lyric is “it’s the girl in the red dress you murdered in spring”
I have never been into alcohol, or drugs, or even cigarettes. But somehow this song is very relatable for me. If you replace these things with such a term as inspiration, and imagine how joyful it was to have it before, how you did the things you loved for yourself; but now your drawing / writing / music has turned into your work, and you do it because you have to, however you don’t feel really inspired anymore. For me, as an artist, this song symbolizes just that.
That sounds like such an awful feeling. I hope things look up for you. Art isn't a product. The talent behind the art is in a way, I guess, but an artists work deserves a special type of inspiration and their special mark on it. Art as a job is sort of like helping others express themselves. I hope you have plenty of energy/time to use your skills to express yourself too, best wishes buddy
BLESS YOU GUYS IVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG MY LOVE I want you to know I’ve had the crooner drinking loop as my pfp for my schools email account for a year now
Man this touches the fucking soul dude. As someone who finds themselves unmotivated and depressed so much of the time lately I find myself relating to this. Ever since I first found your music ive been obsessed with it. Amazing work. Please never stop doing this.
I attempted to compile the lyrics. (?) Means I'm too incompetant to understand what is being said clearly. Let me know what you hear!! Lyrics: I don't get high no more, I don't seem to fly no more. I drink all the drinks, But they don't do the trick. I do the same drugs, But they just make me sick. I try and I try but I can't get my Kix, The way I did before! I don't live it up no more, I don't give a f*ck no more. I know there was a time I was queen of the street. I'd strut and I'd stride but that shit got me beat. Now I can't deny that I can compete, And frankly its a bore! Lately, I've been thinkin' about stuff... I'm quite relieved to concede, I think I've had more than enough. (Instrumental break) I don't pray much no more... I don't say much no more... I talk(?) and(?) I try or I aint got the wit. The words come out right, But they dont seem to fit. I shout and I cry, But I have to admit... It's all been said before! (Before~ Before~) I don't get high no more... I can't seem to fly no more... Since you were(?) to my door... I don't live it up. (No!) I don't give up. (No!) I don't get high no more... And theres no need to pray. (No!) Theres not much to say. (No!) Stuff in the way? That stuff was before! Since you kicked down my door....
This is AMAZING!!!, I love it, this is better than your past work! The song is catchy as HELL!!!, people can listen to this any time, the animation is better than ever, I would love this song to play in my funeral, overall you’ve improved, nice work, as I said this song is catchy as HELL!, it was worth the wait!
The best part of this music video is when the crooner was watching the set burn and just booked it so hard when the panel dropped. Hahahaha it gets me everytime!
I'm really so proud about how far this band has gone, the animation is phenomenal and and the music is always amazing. I love this band with my whole heart and I'm glad I discovered it! Lots of love from Brooklyn ❤
I really like the “I don’t seem to fly no more” line, because it seems like a reference to the line in Kix when it says “you gave me wings so I flew.” My interpretation is that this line implies that he doesn’t mess around anymore, and I just think it’s a really nice touch.
I am literally 5 years late (Maybe even 15 years late) and I love this band so much, i cant believe I missed out so much lol,, I'm not sure how many other people are just now finding this now, so here, I will be the comment from 2024! Huzzah!
I will always replay you’re going to live from the last werewolf. And this one’s great too. I just wish the last albums coming up will be a wonderful farewell for the amazing music you’ve made over the years. 2011 from the last werewolf was a nostalgic year for that to drop.
And there's always this beautiful Miss Rose that she rest in peace that you'll let you know she's a sign of song and let it Go but even let it go at all she's beautiful lady very beautiful May rest in peace
My question is now that the Crooner/Valentine Rose's story seems to be over Seeing how it's likely he's dead if 'The Show Must Go On' is anything to go by I wonder what's next
"Lately I've been thinking about *STUFF* I'm quite relieved, to convince, I think I've had more than enough" that line hits harder, and true for the whole song, than anything ever heard myself for my......well not alcoholism, but addiction, and "I don't give a fuck no more!!!" Sadly, but in true "there was a time I was queen on the sea, I'd strut and I strut but that s#!+ got me beat" and yeah true what they say, "Frankly it's a bore" more of an actual pain to be in it but I just either can't or won't stop. Trust me, people, not Even ONCE!! Take it from a lost soul, just don't and you have a better chance than me... I hope
Having been obsessively watching the music videos with a friend of mine, we've settled on the following timeline based on some continuity details between the videos (mostly her work): Me and Mr. Wolf Kix The Show Must Go On Don't Get High No More. The Clerkenwell Arms, the speakeasy where Mr. Wolf gets drunk at the end of Me and Mr. Wolf, is the same one that burns down in Kix, suggesting Kix comes later. The creatures running on the piano at the end of Me and Mr. Wolf bear some passing resemblance to the imps on fire in Kix. And lastly, in Kix, the Crooner says "You gave me wings so I flew" when talking with the black haired lady, suggesting his affair with the lady in hear had already been going on for a while at that point. The ending sequence of The Show Must Go On seems to lead into Don't Get High No More, with the Crooner falling into the sea, fading into the starry sky, leading into the sequence with the starry sky and the Crooner waking up in the Puppini Sister's drink. Don't Get High No More seems to be a meta-narrative, with the Crooner looking back at his life, and the video game sequence seems to confirm the order of events, first turning into the wolf, getting drunk, then the fire, then jumping into the sea, then washing ashore and seeing it all burn down. The story then, as we understand it, is this: The Crooner, young and amorous (in wolf form), has an encounter with the lady in red and cheats on his fiancé. The two acts as enablers for each other, leading him to his life of sex, drugs and alcohol, until the lady in red, (who is actually the more experienced and in control party in the relationship, as suggested by the shadows of the end of the video) grows bored of him and dumps him. Drinking himself into oblivion, he crawls back to his fiancé, but they end up breaking it off because he can't go back to his old life any more. (It's unclear if the lady in red in Kix is the same as in Me or Mr. Wolf, or if he's seeking substitutes in other partners.) Being left with no other option, he continues wearing his grin, stating the show must on as he sees his old life waste away, the black haired lady appearing but ignoring him as a reminder of how things used to be. Eventually, in I Don't Get High No More, we see the Crooner drop his smile for the first time as he "walks off the stage", leaving studio one, and he's showing dismay more frequently in the following scenes. As his years of reckless hedonism catch up with him, he looks back on his life and contemplates how his existence doesn't bring him any real joy any more, and how his entire character has been an act he's put on for the world or himself, and how he has been left a broken man, while the locusts symbolize the ongoing decay caused by his life choices.
Stephen, your voice really reminds me to Damon Albarn’s voice! But with a classic and elegant taste ❤️ And it is funny to think that since you both have your own persona in an animated character ❤️ Your music is marvelous! and it really helps me to relax
I mean a lot of the themes are in a lot of songs, like drug addiction, regret, depression, but he's talking about how he's done so many drugs that they don't even phase him when intoxicated, like that's hard core
God.....You're so underrated.....I discovered your music a few days ago. My sister had shown me the Me and Mr Wolf music video a while back and I couldn't get it out of my head. Soooo I came to re-watch it and I followed you on Spotify and now I can't stop listening to your music and watching your bizarre music videos. Btw your character is really cute and cool!
Ugh I just realized a missed opportunity at 1:59 where Valentine is the chugging the beer his belly could’ve inflated to make a beer belly just a thought I just had while re-watching your old videos
When I first gave this a listen, I thought it was a neat and pleasant little song. On par with the others from this series of animated music videos. However, on this day, it suddenly it me like a tidal wave, and it's been playing on repeat in my head nonstop all day. I taught myself to play it earlier. I know it by heart now. Help.
I have to say, this was well worth the wait! The animation is very well done, and the song is very nice. It's always a pleasure to see when a new video is uploaded!
Man I've just been listening to your stuff all the time lately. It started with a revisitation after a talk about the crooner with one of my best buds and now I just can't seem to get enough. I just wanna say I really appreciate the work you've put into your music through the years and let you know it's still loved to this day.
Dang, this definitely has the best aesthetics thematically of all the songs. Everything he's built around him over the years is as fake as a Hollywood studio, and it's falling apart, until he ends up back on that ship. I love it.
I don't get high no more
I don't seem to fly no more
I drink all the drinks but they don't do the trick
I do the same drugs but they just make me sick
I try and I try but I can't get my kicks
The way i did before
I don't live it up no more
I don't give a f#*k no more
There was a time I was Queen of the street
I'd strut and I'd stride but that shit got me beat
Now I can't deny that I can't compete
And frankly it's a bore
Lately I've been thinking about stuff
I'm quite relieved
To concede
I've think I've had
More than enough
I dont pray much no more
I don't say much no more
I'm tongue-tied and trite or I ain't got the wit
The words come out right but they don't seem to fit
I shout and I cry but I have to admit
It's all been said before
I can't get high no more
I can't seem to fly no more
Since you walked through my door
I don't live it up - no
I don't give a f*#k - no
I don't get high no more
And there's no need to pray - no
There's not much to say - no
Stuff ain't the way, stuff was before
You kicked down my door
🤔.... Thanks! 😉
I love you:(
I love this song so much :’)))
was searching for lyrics on the internet... should have just looked down here from the start
Thank you for just posting the lyrics
Guys, just a note to say thanks a lot for your support - and patience - We really appreciate that xx
You're welcome!! It will be great!! I am sure!!
Good to have ya back. :D I've been listening to your tunes during these hard times. :D
I love you!!
Love your music and work :)
Thank you guys for your continued hard work! Your quality really shows and just makes the stuff you put out pop way more 🥰

I've seen people make timelines of the Crooner series, and since this is probably the last time we'll see our dear Mr. Rose, I wanted to go ahead and put this together; The Vapid Life And Unsurprising Death Of Valentine Rose, aka the full story of the Crooner as I see it. If we get a fifth Crooner song, I will be updating this.
Before we begin, I want to note that this will be going off of this timeline; Kix --> Me and Mr. Wolf --> Don't Get High No More --> The Show Must Go On. Now that that's out of the way, let's get started.
Valentine Rose was a man of many vices. When he wasn't dancing till dawn and drinking like mortality escaped him, he was spending... shall we say, quality time alone with any lady who had never heard his name. Valentine had no false delusions of him being a good man. He was a selfish, cruel, hedonistic disaster of a person, surprisingly well-hidden by his sharp attire and charming grin. One of the common things his past lovers called him was the wolf in sheep's clothing.
Now, while Valentine was well-versed in the pleasures of the flesh, a fulfilling, honest relationship eternally escaped him, mostly in part due to his gratuitous love of all manner of alcohol and drugs over other people. But the closest he ever got to true love was in a fancy, done-up prostitute he hooked up with on his way home one night, one that he accidentally ended up falling head over heels for. She was seductively manipulative, and hungry for attention whenever she could find it. The darkness in her eyes rivaled her lover's, and her dainty viciousness called to him like the booze never had. Finally, Valentine had thought, someone who can understand the way I get my kicks. Finally, someone I won't suck dry.
Valentine was right. Instead, she did it to him. Ate up every scrap of love he gave her and dumped him on the street corner when he had no more to give, just like he had for all of those girls in the past. Call it divine retribution, call it karma, whatever you like.
Valentine Rose was at a loss for what to do. He'd never felt so empty in his life, having always lived the life of the predator, rather than the prey. It destroyed him. He tried to return to his old hedonistic ways, but no amount of sex or liquor could compare to how he'd felt with her. It all felt so... hollow, and worthless. No matter how hard he tried, his days of carefree self-destruction were gone, replaced by a slow degradation of the body and mind.
But, thoughts about his own morality aside, Mr. Rose was by no means a humble man, and, too prideful to admit that he had been wrong his entire life, continued to boredly destroy himself, culminating in a cruise he went on because he could think of nothing else to do with his time, other than get wasted and cry about his one true love to some crusty barkeep for the third time that week.
Valentine hadn't known about the storm. He hadn't known how destructive it would be.
But when he caught word that the ship was sinking... well.
He didn't exactly try very hard to find a lifeboat.
this is amazing!
Bravo to you
Thank you for the interpretation :) It helps to understand the songs a lot.
a freakazoid poor Rose. Makes me feel bad for the crooner...
At the very least he goes out with dignity.
a freakazoid you deserve more likes
The Crooner needs his own depressing and dark show
agreed
At the very least his own little comic.
Agreed! I would definitely watch that
I like how he can't seem to "fly" no more, but in Kix he stated that she "gave him wings so he flew". I also love the allegory of how his whole life seems fake, like he's an actor. Despite doing everything he did before he met the blonde from Me and Mr Wolf, he doesn't feel joy from it anymore. Despite him supposedly having the "wings" that would allow him freedom, it now seems worthless as the freedom to do what he wants is empty without the blonde. Also the locusts mean death and degredation, he slowly wastes away his life despite feeling no joy from his unsavory and damaging habits. I love the Tuesday Weld so much! So much material to disect!
Edit:something else I noticed, this song and the very end of Me and Mr Wolf are the only songs in the entire series when he isn't smiling.
LOVE it!
How does this not have any more thumbs up? It adds up perfectly.
For some reason The Crooner grinning while laying on the stairs is just hilarious to me. I swear I've seen that in person before.
in dreams perhaps?
@@TheRealTuesdayWeld Maybe.
@@TheRealTuesdayWeldhe is the man of my dreams
Im glad people are still making this kinda music in 2019

@@TheRealTuesdayWeld i know im late but,YOU ARE UNDERATED!THIS NEEDS MORE VEWS!
I know im like 5 Months late, but I think I know what’s going on:

The girl is just like him, dating and dumping many guys. The Wolf/Crooner falls in love, but the girl does not, and the girl breaks up with him. This “kills” the wolf and turns him back into the Crooner.
We then go to I Can’t Get High No More, which shows a broken hearted Crooner who can no longer get his kicks after the girl dumped him. The ending line “things aren’t the way they were before since you kicked down my door” refers to the girl in Me and Mr. Wolf entering his life and leaving it. The final scene on the boat brings us to The Show Must Go On.
The Show Must Go On is the hardest one to understand, but my thought is that “the show must go on” refers to him going back to his old ways after getting over the heartbreak. In the end his human form drowns and dies, leaving only the Wolf to forever date girls only to dump them once he cant get his kicks out of them.
That’s my interpretation of the story.
Loving this!
I know but how are you going to make these songs if the crooner dies.
Yes in the show must go on he died from drowning in the shipwreck
Imagine if there is no story and we’re just making out the stories so the creator doesn’t have to

I miss my clarinet gecko 🤙

In the show must go on, he becomes a fish once the ship sinks. It might have something to do with water
Wait he's an actual werewolf? I thought it was some kind of metaphor.
i think the eye moon thing is metaphorical, under the cover of night and her intentioned gaze on him - the thing he wants from her, to truly capture her attention - turns him into the wolf / monster that she wants him to be, the only aspect of himself that she sees and wants to see, and at the end of the song when the eye closes, - the woman closing her eyes from the sight of him, the woman does not want to SEE him anymore, literally and figuratively, and so she leaves him - and it turns him back into a man

3 vs 1 is unfair though. poor valentine
Dude i just realized… this comment is why the title is that
We can't wait!!!!!!!
:)
Was worth it :)
You three are great keep it up
Thanks for the music! Hope this hits Spotify soon. :)
THE ANIMATION LOOKS SO NICE GAAHHHH THIS WAS WORTH THE WAIT FOR SURE
"The words come out right but they don't seem to fit" yeah, that describes perfectly the crooner and his smile
and me
After all this time.....
It is so close......
Yeeeeeessss....
Aw man you stepped up your animation immensely, this channel needs more subs or at least be on trending
I love the crooner so much and all the story behind him
Same
UPDATE: IT SOUNDS SO GOOD

@@TheRealTuesdayWeld guess life doesn't work out like that. But at least we can daydream about it.
for a while now I have this theory that the crooner murdered his past lovers and he's been drinking nonstop for it-- the way the Puppini sisters are dressed in black except when they're in the clouds, the way they seem to haunt the crooner, how he falls to hell, and the bloody shed scene in "Me and Mr. Wolf" and other parts from that video-- or maybe I'm thinking too literally? hehehe!

Art as a job is sort of like helping others express themselves. I hope you have plenty of energy/time to use your skills to express yourself too, best wishes buddy
@@reesf743 Thank you, kind dude, we're still trying :'3
Definitely well worth the wait! The animation's really improved! :D I can't wait to see what's coming down the road!
BLESS YOU GUYS IVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG
MY LOVE
I want you to know I’ve had the crooner drinking loop as my pfp for my schools email account for a year now
S-smol toxin?is that you almighty Warriors animator?
Man this touches the fucking soul dude. As someone who finds themselves unmotivated and depressed so much of the time lately I find myself relating to this. Ever since I first found your music ive been obsessed with it. Amazing work. Please never stop doing this.
thank you you take care

Every face this man makes is a mood for every day
I attempted to compile the lyrics. (?) Means I'm too incompetant to understand what is being said clearly. Let me know what you hear!!
Lyrics:
I don't get high no more,
I don't seem to fly no more.
I drink all the drinks,
But they don't do the trick.
I do the same drugs,
But they just make me sick.
I try and I try but I can't get my Kix,
The way I did before!
I don't live it up no more,
I don't give a f*ck no more.
I know there was a time I was queen of the street.
I'd strut and I'd stride but that shit got me beat.
Now I can't deny that I can compete,
And frankly its a bore!
Lately, I've been thinkin' about stuff...
I'm quite relieved to concede,
I think I've had more than enough.
(Instrumental break)
I don't pray much no more...
I don't say much no more...
I talk(?) and(?) I try or I aint got the wit.
The words come out right,
But they dont seem to fit.
I shout and I cry,
But I have to admit...
It's all been said before! (Before~ Before~)
I don't get high no more...
I can't seem to fly no more...
Since you were(?) to my door...
I don't live it up. (No!)
I don't give up. (No!)
I don't get high no more...
And theres no need to pray. (No!)
Theres not much to say. (No!)
Stuff in the way?
That stuff was before!
Since you kicked down my door....
The official lyrics are on the website provided in the link :)
For example it’s ‘I’m tongue-tied and trite or I ain’t got the wit’
Everyone, please stand for our National Anthem.
hahaha
This is AMAZING!!!, I love it, this is better than your past work! The song is catchy as HELL!!!, people can listen to this any time, the animation is better than ever, I would love this song to play in my funeral, overall you’ve improved, nice work, as I said this song is catchy as HELL!, it was worth the wait!
its surreal to me that he got an actual name because ive just been calling him wulf this whole time
stephen can wulf be a nickname for him please im begging
The best part of this music video is when the crooner was watching the set burn and just booked it so hard when the panel dropped. Hahahaha it gets me everytime!
This is one of the most creative bands I’ve ever been subscribed to. Like damn you don’t see these kinds of bops everyday.
thank you Octopie
rip val's nose :'(
Hoogalindo
Val broke his nose like 3 times akjdkshdk
Hoogalindo
yeah his name is valentine rose
I'm really so proud about how far this band has gone, the animation is phenomenal and and the music is always amazing. I love this band with my whole heart and I'm glad I discovered it! Lots of love from Brooklyn ❤
thanks Maria!
@@TheRealTuesdayWeld sadly, they announced after releasing blood; there’s 2 last albums left and that’s the end of the band.
Maria Marquez
Real life and animation… A KILLER COMBO
You guys deserve more fans. This music is amazing.
thank you
I really like the “I don’t seem to fly no more” line, because it seems like a reference to the line in Kix when it says “you gave me wings so I flew.” My interpretation is that this line implies that he doesn’t mess around anymore, and I just think it’s a really nice touch.
sweet!
Been waiting on this for a year now. I'm not dissapointed of the result. In fact I'm pleased.
I love how the sisters are lit like how the cartoon parts are, really nice attention to detail
0:10
Me waiting for their next song
Ha!
I am literally 5 years late (Maybe even 15 years late) and I love this band so much, i cant believe I missed out so much lol,, I'm not sure how many other people are just now finding this now, so here, I will be the comment from 2024! Huzzah!
I will always replay you’re going to live from the last werewolf. And this one’s great too.
I just wish the last albums coming up will be a wonderful farewell for the amazing music you’ve made over the years.
2011 from the last werewolf was a nostalgic year for that to drop.
thank you so much
And there's always this beautiful Miss Rose that she rest in peace that you'll let you know she's a sign of song and let it Go but even let it go at all she's beautiful lady very beautiful May rest in peace
All the amazing moments I have with the music from this band. Forever in love with your music
thank you Moonbeam
This is such a wonderfully grim series, the story the plot and the imagery is so interesting but unique, great stuff.
thank you
My question is now that the Crooner/Valentine Rose's story seems to be over
Seeing how it's likely he's dead if 'The Show Must Go On' is anything to go by
I wonder what's next
there are more stories from his life to come we hope
"Lately I've been thinking about...stuff" comes across as an unusual choice, but highly relatable lyric.
I like how the Crooner's voice changes every video.
YEEEES I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS GLORIOUS VIDEO
This is the best thing I've ever seen
thank you dear
You're welcome I love you guys!!
Monkey Banjo and Clarinet Fish are my favourite characters as well, I'm glad they got a song together.
:)
"Lately I've been thinking about *STUFF* I'm quite relieved, to convince, I think I've had more than enough" that line hits harder, and true for the whole song, than anything ever heard myself for my......well not alcoholism, but addiction, and "I don't give a fuck no more!!!" Sadly, but in true "there was a time I was queen on the sea, I'd strut and I strut but that s#!+ got me beat" and yeah true what they say, "Frankly it's a bore" more of an actual pain to be in it but I just either can't or won't stop. Trust me, people, not Even ONCE!! Take it from a lost soul, just don't and you have a better chance than me... I hope
Personally this is without a doubt one of my 3 favorite songs
The wait was worth it
:)
Having been obsessively watching the music videos with a friend of mine, we've settled on the following timeline based on some continuity details between the videos (mostly her work):
Me and Mr. Wolf
Kix
The Show Must Go On
Don't Get High No More.
The Clerkenwell Arms, the speakeasy where Mr. Wolf gets drunk at the end of Me and Mr. Wolf, is the same one that burns down in Kix, suggesting Kix comes later. The creatures running on the piano at the end of Me and Mr. Wolf bear some passing resemblance to the imps on fire in Kix. And lastly, in Kix, the Crooner says "You gave me wings so I flew" when talking with the black haired lady, suggesting his affair with the lady in hear had already been going on for a while at that point.
The ending sequence of The Show Must Go On seems to lead into Don't Get High No More, with the Crooner falling into the sea, fading into the starry sky, leading into the sequence with the starry sky and the Crooner waking up in the Puppini Sister's drink. Don't Get High No More seems to be a meta-narrative, with the Crooner looking back at his life, and the video game sequence seems to confirm the order of events, first turning into the wolf, getting drunk, then the fire, then jumping into the sea, then washing ashore and seeing it all burn down.
The story then, as we understand it, is this: The Crooner, young and amorous (in wolf form), has an encounter with the lady in red and cheats on his fiancé. The two acts as enablers for each other, leading him to his life of sex, drugs and alcohol, until the lady in red, (who is actually the more experienced and in control party in the relationship, as suggested by the shadows of the end of the video) grows bored of him and dumps him. Drinking himself into oblivion, he crawls back to his fiancé, but they end up breaking it off because he can't go back to his old life any more. (It's unclear if the lady in red in Kix is the same as in Me or Mr. Wolf, or if he's seeking substitutes in other partners.)
Being left with no other option, he continues wearing his grin, stating the show must on as he sees his old life waste away, the black haired lady appearing but ignoring him as a reminder of how things used to be.
Eventually, in I Don't Get High No More, we see the Crooner drop his smile for the first time as he "walks off the stage", leaving studio one, and he's showing dismay more frequently in the following scenes. As his years of reckless hedonism catch up with him, he looks back on his life and contemplates how his existence doesn't bring him any real joy any more, and how his entire character has been an act he's put on for the world or himself, and how he has been left a broken man, while the locusts symbolize the ongoing decay caused by his life choices.
It’s been 84 years.. nah jk but brilliant video! :3
This sounds like a depressing version of "You've Got a Friend in Me" and honestly I'm here for it.
I literally couldn't be happier
:)
We meet again remember me
really creative, especially with the ship at the end: as if Valentine Rose is the one leading an entire army of locusts.
he sets sail - will he return?
soon I'd hope. B ut it looks like it's smooth sailing from here on out.
Stephen, your voice really reminds me to Damon Albarn’s voice! But with a classic and elegant taste ❤️ And it is funny to think that since you both have your own persona in an animated character ❤️ Your music is marvelous! and it really helps me to relax
thank you dear. I like Damon :)
Ah, I'm so happy to hear his voice again!
person: insults me
Me: h a h a ok-
Person: gives me constrictive criticism
My oversensitive butt: 0:58
hahaha
I mean a lot of the themes are in a lot of songs, like drug addiction, regret, depression, but he's talking about how he's done so many drugs that they don't even phase him when intoxicated, like that's hard core
:)
I love watching this. Its creative, beautiful, and I just love the design of the main character. Work of art
thank you
1:45 that's the StarKist fish you cant convince me otherwise
Even after 2 years i Still come back to enjoy this masterpiece
keep coming
Please make more animated music videos! They look so beautiful!
will try!
it's been 3,000 years...
So many years have passed, but he still has not aged.
he is an immortal - you knew that right?
@@TheRealTuesdayWeld No, thanks for an answer !
@@АркадийПаровозов-ю7е always a pleasure
Oh my god the animation is so clear and beautiful this is amazing. can't wait to replay this constantly
God I love this style
God.....You're so underrated.....I discovered your music a few days ago. My sister had shown me the Me and Mr Wolf music video a while back and I couldn't get it out of my head. Soooo I came to re-watch it and I followed you on Spotify and now I can't stop listening to your music and watching your bizarre music videos. Btw your character is really cute and cool!
hello - and thank you - so nice to read that
YEEEES!
MOTHER, GIVE ME BOOZE, I M GONNA WAITING SOMETHING VERY COOL.
5 years ago..? Already?..
Oh man, it's FINALLY HERE!
I love how catchy the song is, and the animation is just perfect.
Welcome back and god its good to see these animated music vids again. There just isnt anything as good as these songs to get my smile up
I can already feel this classic getting stuck in my head! 😄🙏🏼 Can’t wait! 😁
Been a hot second and I was totally right, it’s STILL stuck! 😂
I love these animations more than i probably should.
we will forgive you :)
-3000 years later- *Video finally comes out*
Me: "YES! YES!"
I love your songs, they are actually really nice, I think I might be obsessed, your voices are nice together and I LOVE the art style
I am glad :)
CURSE MY TERRIBLE SLEEPING HABITS
BUT OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS SONG AND YOU'RE DOING GREAT SWEETIE @ VALENTINE ROSE
AAAAAAAAA ITS HERE
The animation in this one is SPECTACULAR! I am obsessed
:)
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ITS ALMOST OUT 💕💕💕
Surreal video + beautiful song = fantasticity
Ugh I just realized a missed opportunity at 1:59 where Valentine is the chugging the beer his belly could’ve inflated to make a beer belly just a thought I just had while re-watching your old videos
:)
When I first gave this a listen, I thought it was a neat and pleasant little song. On par with the others from this series of animated music videos. However, on this day, it suddenly it me like a tidal wave, and it's been playing on repeat in my head nonstop all day. I taught myself to play it earlier. I know it by heart now. Help.
sounds like you don't need any help!
Starting the year pretty well.
I have to say, this was well worth the wait! The animation is very well done, and the song is very nice. It's always a pleasure to see when a new video is uploaded!
What a great way to kick off the new year!!
Man I've just been listening to your stuff all the time lately. It started with a revisitation after a talk about the crooner with one of my best buds and now I just can't seem to get enough. I just wanna say I really appreciate the work you've put into your music through the years and let you know it's still loved to this day.
I appreciate that so much - thank you
Dang, this definitely has the best aesthetics thematically of all the songs. Everything he's built around him over the years is as fake as a Hollywood studio, and it's falling apart, until he ends up back on that ship. I love it.
I am not worthy of doing a cover of this song. It will be too great.
AND I remember that I promised a few years back but I am truly not worthy of doing a cover.
try!
i'm so in love with this! the animation, the song, the characters... wow!
everything about this song and video. it all just comes together so well
this was definitely worth the wait, everyone involved with this project did a fantastic job creating something truly one of a kind
Wow! Just wow. The animation is so smooth, the callbacks to previous videos are awesome... I couldn't ask for more!
Thanks so much for this, guys!!
This is so beautiful. Gorgeous tune, and gorgeous animation. I'm so glad to be seeing/hearing content from you guys. 😭😍
great to hear from YOU!
Straight fire to the Grammys
In our dreams!
@@TheRealTuesdayWeld dont worry you will
This is an amazing addition to your music and your animated videos, thank you to everybody working on this video! 💖
