I converted my apartment bedroom into a green screen studio so we could shoot this video safely during Covid-19 quarantine. Director Kate Douglas imagined up this twisted take on "As Seen On TV" infomercials after hearing the demo for this tune and we had an incredible, fun time. - เพลง

Found it first in a Disco Elysium animatic and frankly I love it, listening to it on repeat. Also just noticed it loops perfectly
🖤✨
same thing! lol
yep same, great song!
You and me both brother, this is a banger straight
eyyy same! (i've listened to and enjoyed some of his music before, but somehow never came across this song until the animatic)
villain music is a genre and it’s founder is shayfer james
*tips hat*
it’s an honor to commit crimes to your music ✨ watching shrek 2 on a sketchy movie site while your songs play in the background hit different
🤣🤣
Facts
Voltaire has been doing it longer but Shayfer is a fantastic addition.
I think I figured out what the item numbers mean!
They're dates in the format MDD-YYYY!
Here are the items, their dates, what happened on those dates in american history, and what the associated items could symbolize.
Drill:
320-2003
March 20th, 2003:
A US-led coalition launches a ground invasion of Iraq after an ultimatum for Saddam Hussein and his sons to leave Iraq expires. The drill could represent the U.S military invading (drilling into) Iraq.
Blender:
316-1973
March 16th, 1973:
OPEC discusses raising prices to offset decline of U.S. dollar value. This might be why Shayfer James blended the hundred dollar bills.
Knife set:
806-1945
August 6th, 1945:
The bombing of Hiroshima (and later Nagasaki) by the U.S. during WWII, being the world's first deployed atomic bomb. The knife set could symbolize a major point of destruction, and the pillow that was erupting feathers after being stabbed could be a metaphor for the mushroom cloud created by the atomic bomb.
Vacuum:
118-2016
January 18th, 2016:
World's 62 richest people are now as wealthy as half the world's population according to a report published by Oxfam. The vacuum could represent the power vacuum as only 62 the world's richest people hold as much wealth as the rest of the world population, as the majority of the world gets less and less say.
👀👀👀
I’m dying to know if this theory is accurate.
I will either confirm or deny sometime in the near future 😃
@@ShayferJames pls do now
I don't even care if this theory is accurate or not. I accept this as true lol
Hello, Disco Elisium forever (animatic).
This man continues to feed my villain complex
Gooooood 🖤💀
SAME
Im planning so many animatics with his songs🖤🖤🖤❣️
FRFR
This gives me vibes like I just stumbled into a classroom I'm not supposed to be in. I love it.
Perfect.
currently imagining walking into the wrong class and seeing the kids lick the tables and put money in a blender
@@SPLARKK As a student, I can confirm that we do that if someone gets in the wrong room.
Join me right here tomorrow 1/8 at 7pm ET to celebrate the release of this song and video! I shall be in the chat. Bring a friend ;)
Shayfer is so damn weird. I love him. This slaps.
🖤🖤🖤
You're so underrated, I share your music with anyone who cares to listen and this is no exception!
Same big facts homieeee
That's how we spread the word! Thank you my friend.
@@ratz2886 and thank you tooo
Good job😊🥰👍💯💕💞💖
Is it 1 am? Possibly. Was this worth the wait? Absolutely
🖤🖤🖤
You know what they say. Love is worth the wait.
It just hit me that the clowns line in this is a reference to/parallel metaphor to the one in Mercy Down
😉
Counterfeit Arcade made me feel as if I was attending a service alongside spectres in a decrepid curch that only phased into existence in certain hours of the night. This new song feels similarly ghoulish, except now the darkness does not feel like these fiendish entities surrounding me - the darkness now manifests as a pervasive consumerism, something so irrevocably relevant to our modern era. I am in love with these vibes, and your music.
You. Get it. 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Wow this is a great way to put it
A brilliant take and a succinct summary. Cheers!
This is exactly what I was thinking. My son didn’t understand it until he watched the music video.
Nice
James my man is back with another song, I am very excited
you and me both
@@ShayferJames i loved it as always, you and everyone else involved have my praises
Incredibly underrated
I could imagine this playing repeatedly in a supermarket
That adds up
playing in an abandoned supermarket where even still, every so often, customer announcements will be made. We don't know who's making them, but their voice certainly fits with the tone of the song, so the nobody who wanders the abandoned shops refuses to complain.
We've got a cabinet full of clowns
With panhandle haircuts
You'll believe it when you see it for yourself
There's a lady in the lounge
Wearing technicolor makeup
Mixing drinks to make you think you're someone else
You want that good life
We've got a shortcut
So come inside and have a look
You want that good life
We've got the hookup
So come inside, come inside
And get that good, good life
There's an eagle in the attic
With a semi automatic
There's a couple gettin' frisky in the hall
A television in the kitchen
That'll feed your children static
When you're lonely
There's a number you can call
Yeah
You want that good life
We've got a shortcut
So come inside and have a look
You want that good life
We've got the hookup
So come inside, come inside
And get that good, good life
Folks!
Pay no attention to those crooks behind the curtain
They will tell you your future is lovely and certain
They will sell you a dream for a dollar-ninety-nine
Oh they'll make you repay it or call it a crime
Folks!
We are losing a war with the enemy within us
All the greed that we feed will devour and kill us
But step on up, come on up, step on up
And come inside
'Cause you got everything to prove
There is nothing you can hide
You want that good life
We've got a shortcut
So come inside and have a look
You want that good life
We've got the hookup
So come inside, come inside
And get that good good life
You want that good life
We've got a shortcut
So come inside and have a look
You want that good life
We've got the hookup
So come inside, come inside
And get that good, good life
Found this through an animatic on Disco Elysium with this song. This was nice
✨✨
It appears that we have found a *banger*
☠️
"Huh, I wonder if the number still works, lemme call it- oh. Oh my god that's so sweet"
Damn right 🤗😍
I absolutely positively love this song. It should have WAY more views. The symbolism and astounding attention to detail and hidden meaning is fantastic. I think I speak for everyone when I say WE NEED MORE.
Thank you for paying such careful attention! More coming soon :)
loooved the song, i'm working on a essay about capitalism, work and suffering and this fits that mood perfectly!
Amazing!!
This song seems to be symbolising the phrase "all that glitters is not gold."
✨✨✨
Another great song, thanks dad
🤣
YES THE RETURN OF THE KING
❤️❤️❤️
Buy 1 get 1 at full price? Well, that's an offer I can't pass up!
💸💸💸
I found your music thru youtube randomly reccommending me "Villainous thing" and I am so glad I decided to listen to the whole album! I am so glad you're still making such original and catchy songs, I love them!
So glad you find me, and that you enjoy all of them. Can’t stop, won’t stop ❤️
This was a really nice surprise, I'll be there, I can't wait to hear it.
Honestly, I love this song. Something about the vibe it has makes it feel special in a way I can't put into words.
This makes me very happy 🖤✨
The moment I saw Shayfer with a chefs knife going to town on a pillow, I knew once again his music would reach my dark little soul. Spectacular as always Shayfer❤❤❤
❤️🔪🤪❤️
This has become one of my new favourite songs of all time after finding it in the Disco Elysium animatic music video, cannot stop listening to it. This and Crack a bottle, run a bath are taking over my life. Working my way through all your songs and I think you're a new favourite artist for me.
So glad! Welcome to my world!
I so like this song a lot, but my favorite part is just James having the time of his life. It just makes me smile for some reason.
🤗I appreciate that friend. It was so fun to make.
God I’m so excited for this!
me too ;)
Never before have i heard a song so perfectly fit for that catharsis moment of villain self-actualization. This is a treasure trove for inspiration and motivation. Much appreciate the talent!
😈✨🖤
daNGIT ILL BE AT SCHOOL
but hey at least i'll have a banger song to come home to ✨
Damn right !!
Moving the premier till 7pm ET to accommodate folks that are in school ;)
@@ShayferJames awww, how sweet! thanks from all of us!
Awh, I don’t think I will be able to watch it live because my sleep schedule’s all messy at the moment, but I will definitely check it out after!
You will be missed :)
Недооценённый шедевр, я так считаю
Особенно после просмотра одного аниматика по Диско Элизиум.
@@0Warpsmith отличная музыка, красивая рисовка, великолепная игра - это просто богоподобная смесь. Я очень часто пересматриваю этот аниматик
I shall never be fooled. No matter how colourful or dancy you get, you will still always be the classical villain in my mind
✨💀🤡🧛♂️✨
It’s been about a year since I discovered this song, and lowkey you’ve become one of my favorite artists of all time!! Keep it up, you’re incredible
🙏🖤💀 thank you friend
I look away for two seconds, and suddenly you've made yet another masterpiece
(BTW, I've gotten a few friends to fall so much in love with your music that they never stop talking about you. The word is spreading.)
🖤Thank you so so much for spreading the word! Truly means the world ❤️
Lmao I was making a character a few years ago, and my friend showed me the Counterfeit Arcade playlist and I've been hooked ever since.
damn, i would give Shayfer James my nonexistent firstborn if it meaned that he would keep making great music like this
this is truly a masterpiece. The fact that you aren't getting the amount of attention you deserve breaks my heart.
Thank you my friend and Weep not! All things in time!!
Gosh, props to both you and Kate Douglas, One, this song is amazing, and two, the video just *vibes* perfectly with it.
Thank you friend ✨✨
Love the "This Really sucks!" 2:27 . Almost like a double meaning of 'everything is terrible' if your actually looking into it, but if your just mindlessly consuming (Like the song warns about I assume) said content is just like 'This vacuum is great at sucking!!' . Always love songs that have a disconnect between what they mean and their instruments. Thank you for making wonderful music! ♥
Dear lord, I miss this man's music so much, I hate how underrated he is.
✨🖤🥰
The premiere is at 1 am for me, you better know how much I love your music to show up here no matter what time it is going to be
And I appreciate that so so much.
Where are you located?!
@@ShayferJames I live in Poland, the timezone here is sometimes such a pain lol
Yay! I have new Shayfer James music to force into my friends’ ear holes!
🖤🖤🖤
I’m lucky because I it’s premiering in between periods so I can watch it
Hoorrray!
Moving the premier till 7pm ET to accommodate folks that are in school ;)
Don't call the number unless you want a good cry! Thanks for that!
🤗🖤🖤
man youtube recommendations miss most of the time for me but every once in a while it just hits it out of the park
So glad ✨✨✨
main character from a book that ends up being a villian is my type of music, yes, thank you james
🥰🥰🥰
This song and americananchronism to me is so underrated and it’s probably my favorite song/album
Thank you! As a lover of bending/exploring sub-genre some stuff takes time to find its way to the ears that will love it. So glad you do. 🖤🖤🖤
@@ShayferJames no problem hats off to you for making material that manages to talk about topical issues in I think one of the most creative ways a artist can
this is one of those songs i listen to on repeat and never get tired of
This makes me happy!
@@ShayferJames you make me happy!
Man I love this song, love all the details in the clip, the serial numbers being imperialism reference, the blood money in the blender, amazing work
Yes yes yes you get it! 🖤🖤🖤
Shayfer James - Good Life (Official)
We've got a cabinet full of clowns With pandhandle haircuts
자본에 쩔은 머리에, 옷장엔 광대 옷이 가득한 모습
You'll believe it When you see it for yourself
믿기지 않겠지만, 한 눈에 봐도 바로 당신의 모습 같네요
There's a lady in the lounge Wearing technicolor makeup
저기 거실에 테크니컬러 화장을 한 아가씨는
Mixing drinks to make you think You're someone else
당신에게 한 잔의 맥 빠진 배웅을 아침으로 갈아 주네요.
You want that Good Life We've got a shortcut
좋은 삶을 원하신다면, 저희에게 직빵인게 있답니다
So come inside And have a look
그러니 한 번 구경들 해보세요
You want that Good Life We've got the hook up
좋은 삶을 원하신다면, 저희가 훅 띄워드리죠
So come inside, come inside And get that Good, Good Life
그러니 한 번 구경해보세요, 그리고 좋은 삶, 좋은 삶을 가지세요
There's an eagle in the attic With a semi-automatic
다락 딸린 집에 독수리 하나가 틀에 박혀 사네요
There's a couple Getting frisky in the hall
저 너머에는 한 커플이 한창 염장질을 하지요
A television In the kitchen
주방에 달린 텔레비전은
That'll feed Your children static
당신 아이를 공허로 채워주네요
When You're lonely there's A number you can call
혹시나 외로우시다면, 여기 전화를 주세요
Folks, pay no attention To those crooks behind the curtain
여보들, 저 커튼 뒤에 숨은 사기꾼에게 관심을 주지 마시오
The will tell you your future Is lovely and certain
댁의 미래는 아주 멋진 삶이라고 장담할 수 있네
They will sell you a dream For a dollar ninety-nine
저들은 꿈이랄 잡것들을 고작 1.99 달러에 팔아치우는 작자들이라네
Then make you repay it Or call it a crime
결국 넌 계속 사고, 어쩌면 범죄를 부르게 될 수도 있겠지
Folks, we are losing a war With the enemy within us
여보들, 우린 서로 사이에 숨은 적들과의 전쟁에서 지고 있소
The greed that we feed Will devour and kill us
이대로 탐욕을 불리다가는 우린 그것에 잡아먹히거나 죽임당할거요
But step on up, come on up Step on up, come inside
그러니, 한 발, 한 발씩 이리 들어오시오
Cause you got Everything to prove
당신은 아무런 문제도 없으니
And there is Nothing you can hide
그러니 아무 것도 숨길 필요가 없다오

here a korean Lyrics
good song
Currently making my 6month old watch this. My kids gonna have a good taste of music
I approve of this message. 😉🖤
I saw someone else talking about the phone number working so i gave it a call and I wasnt expecting it to go to anything. I needed to hear that thank you!
Not too good at wrapping my head around the meaning of songs, but I'm gonna give analyzing this one a shot because I am experiencing 3 AM mania and if I don't express my thoughts I will explode.
The lyrics wander through seemingly disconnected ideas. TVs, drugs, shows of patriotism, and acts of hedonism. this is clearly done to show that these ideas are in fact connected somehow. The chorus makes it clear what that common factor is with the line "You want that good life? We've got a shortcut." These are exaggerated realities we drown ourselves in to cope with everyday life. But this song is saying that this goes beyond mere escapism. That these fantasies are being engineered and sold to us, this is also reinforced by the line "They will sell you a dream for a dollar .99", that whole bridge section in general is marvelous.
And what a damn beautiful artistic decision it was to frame this through the visuals of an as seen on TV infomercial, being pitched miracle products that, when you get your hands on them, aren't nearly as good as they promised to be, a perfect metaphor.
You really GET IT ✨✨✨✨
1:24 is my fav part
🔪📺
Your songs always have this really specific vibe that’s somehow ominous, relaxing, chaotic, new, and unfamiliar all at once. The song slaps and the music video matches the song but also adds more layers to it. Was there a meaning behind the items in the video or was it just whatever would be most fun to play with?
There is meaning behind every item and number yes 🕵️♂️
you have no idea how much inspiration you give me for my dungeons and dragons campaign
Yesss! This makes me very happy
Ah yes another bop I can chill and listen to! I’m actually gonna see what happens when u call the number tho xD
OMG THAT WAS THE SWEETEST THING EVER!! TY!! Honestly that made my day 😄
I think I will be able to get the merch 😄
🖤🤗❤️🖤🤗❤️
:O I love this song! It really portrays how media feeds people lies, preying on people who want “That Good Life” and taking advantage of that dream, like the line: “They will sell you a dream for a 1.99$” overall, I think this song is very clever :D
☺️🙏 thank you. You should call the number
Can't wait to hear what's next with your and your music, you never disappoint!
❤️
I found out about your music about a month ago and have loved every song. This new ones no exception. Hopefully you'll get the recognition you deserve.
Thank you friend. Things seem to be bubbling up a bit :) spread the word!
Oh hell yeah, i can't wait!
Update: this SLAPS
🖤🖤🖤
Man, Spotify knew what it was doing when it gave me this song at 3 in the morning.
im from israel so it goes live on 2 am - question is- am i more curious or more tired...
Was curious, worth it.
@@omergortler1854 yes
Who else wants a channel just dedicated to deciphering these masterpieces. true or not it would be brilliant to see what others think about it
🖤✨🖤
Not a single one of your songs is bad, you’re so skilled it’s insane.
Well. This is the best compliment a fella can get
stop what the hell im pissed youtube didnt show me this masterpiece
You’re here now. That’s all that matters.
I get a strange amount of nostalgia from your music despite only having just found out your masterpieces exist
!!! Then I must be doing something right 🖤✨
Being here for the premiere was amazing, all the people here are so nice! Cant wait to meet everyone again next time! :D
Indeed! I clearly have the loveliest gd fans on the planet.
Pretty damn underviewed. Seeing the music video definitely clarifies a few things.
📺🔪☎️
Found your stuff a few months ago, i fell in love deeply! caught me by surprise that this got uploaded.
Thank you man!
I’m glad you like surprises as much as I do! 🖤🖤
I just got introduced to your music by my suddenly-boyfriend, and I must say I'm enjoying it: especially For the Departed. *clapping*
Thank you new friend :) welcome to my world 🖤🖤
This is so good Shayfer omfg. cant wait to make art of this
I can’t wait for you to do it either!
i've recently discovered your music and when i tell you i've been listening to almost nothing else- keep being amazing and i hope you have a great day :]
Welcome to my world and thank you!
Living the good life knowing Shayfer James made another banger🔥🔥
🖤🖤🖤
This is AMAZING!! I get chills at 1:42 every time, the two messages fighting each other in this song are just brilliant. I love the lyrics, the sound, pretty much EVERYTHING! I've listened to it like ten times haha.
Thank you friend, more soon :)
Can we just admire how amazing this man's voice and creativity are?!
Why thank you 🙏
Could the 1-844 in the phone number perhaps reference to the angel number, or maybe The Great Dissapointment?
...🤔
It’s a free american number🖤
483 5933
GUD-LYFE
I absolutely love this song, then again I love all your songs!
🙏🙏🙏
I have literally watched this multiple times a day since it came out. This song is soooo good!!
✨🖤✨
Happy new year and thanks for blessing us all with this amazing song!
🖤🖤🖤🖤
Mr. James just holding his hands out at a blender for a full 10 seconds made by day. Thank you, Shayfer.
The music also was great. Awesome way to start an EP!
😂❤️❤️
No words, Just perfect
YOU are. 😀
Please keep making music ^_^. You have such an amazing voice with a unique talent. I love all of your music. And well, this video, let's just say I'd love to see more of these xD it's amazing
Much more coming!
Ooh nice, I can't wait! Wish I could be there for the premiere but I'll be at school.
Yo you listen to tally hall & Shayfer! Good taste in music my man
It'll be waiting for you ;)
@@killerkittenz5900 Right back at you!
Moving the premier till 7pm ET to accommodate folks that are in school ;)
That's really generous of you, thank you! :D
Saw you perform in Atlanta last year, crazy how a game my friend recomended would lead me to see you live and make my friend and I more closer. Still have the autograph
At least one thing that was good from 2020 was finding your music. When I first heard it I was blown away!
So glad you found me!!
Now that is a Christmas present I was hoping for! Great song!
✨✨
I discovered your music a month ago, since then I listen to your songs daily. Thank you, I am in love with your musicccc♡♡
Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️
Just discovered this song a couple of weeks ago and I love it! It's definitely been and will be an earworm that is welcome in my head for all time!
Welcome to my world! Good to have ya :)
You’re the one who inspired me to start making music. You’re so talented and you deserve to be on billboards!!!
That I inspired you to make is better than a billboard. 🖤✨🖤
I'm so glad I rediscovered you. I remmeber hearing this song when it first came out and never being able to find it again and now booml youtube just gives it to me.
Glad you rediscovered as well! So much new music since then
Just got here from a disco elysium animatic and I can already tell this music is gonna rearrange my brain chemistry. I can't wait.
🧠🖤✨🙏
i think i'll be stuck listening to your music for the rest of my days
Sounds like a plan to me 🖤🖤
I wish I had firstborn children to exchange for that epic blender...
Seems like a fair trade.
Bro, i love your work, i cant understand how you are so underrated
Thank you friend...the word is spreading it seems. Because you are here ❤️
Omg I didn't know I needed this😆 another masterpiece by Shayfer James! Love your music man, hope you're staying safe during these crazy times💖💘
Thank you friend! Safe and healthy indeed. I hope the same for you 🖤💕
This song is great. Probably my second or third favourite. Your videos are like a really nice breath of fresh air from other music videos. They are amazing and good life is such a banger. Like you are just getting better and better the more I listen to you.
Thank you so much! Can’t wait to share the new stuff with ya
