i need to talk about this song
goodbye to a world by Porter Robinson
this song is AMAZING
If i had to point to one song and say “this song is art, no other song is, just this one” it would be this song.
i can scarcely remember a song has made me feel such strong emotions
well no, that’s not right. music, after all, is the purest form of emotion. it’s liquid emotion.
but i’ve never had a song cause me to feel such specific emotions as this one. other songs can make me feel different things at different times depending on my perspective. This song feels like it’s telling a super deep and complicated story, AND IT ABSOLUTELY ISNT
theres literally just FOUR REPEATING LINES
but i feel like there’s a very specific and intentional story behind them
its like someone is telling me the most moving story i’ve ever heard, but it’s bypassing my brain and being injected straight into my subconsciousafter much consideration, i’ve narrowed down the feelings i feel whilst listening to this song to 2 main emotions. listen to the song first and see if you can guess.
SpoilerI feel a strong sense of guilt pared with an INTENSE grief/love. (after all, what is grief but love persevering?)
usually when one listens to a song, you sorta bend the message of the song to be more relatable to you. you automatically attune the song to your own brand of heartbreak or sorrow or joy. i feel like i can’t do that with these. this song doesn’t feel like a song, where the feelings it imparts are able to be molded, this song feels like a book. i feel i am being told a story, but not in the way a book does it (which is just, you know, literally telling the story) but instead it’s telling me the emotions that the story would make me feel if I knew what it was.
to get a little bit Calculus on y’all, this feels like the 1st Derivative of a story. Like, if i could somehow find the antiderivative of the function that is this song, i would have a complete story with characters and plot and everything.
anyway yeah that’s it
also i’m incredibly sleep deprived rn so this might not make any sense to me when i wake up

@DramaQueen the word you’re looking for is Vocaloid and it’s a really cool piece of technology, but yeah i get how it could sound weird to people.
also, i am an absolute genius
look at these quotes i found from the artist in an interview:
QuoteAnd I've said this so many times, so pardon me if it sounds rehearsed or something. But to me, "Worlds" is meant as kind of an appreciation of fiction and stories and escapism and fantasy. The whole album to me is directly channeling my nostalgia for games that I played growing up. Video games specifically. And anime. And movies. It doesn't have this real place in reality. It has its roots, I think, in the ideas of fiction – particularly the most fantastical kind of fiction. That's why you kind of hear sci-fi elements throughout it and fantasy elements throughout it. I use instrumentation from N64 videogames. I'd say the album isn't a story itself but is instead about stories.
(“Worlds” is the name of the Album the song is from btw)
QuoteI guess the album is less focused on this micro idea of emotions and this micro idea of stories but on the macro. It's about emotions and stories in general. And it just kind of tries to adopt the aesthetics of those things without being too literal, if that makes sense.
Like, that’s literally what I just said. This is so impressive to me. The artist managed to get all that across in just that one song and it came across so strongly that it convinced me to make this SU about it, based on nothing but the one song.

GUYS HELP I'M HAVING CREATION IDEAS BEYOND MY SKILL LEVEL
alright so here's the idea
I want to make a physical to-do list to increase my daily productivity
it would be made of wood, like a big rectangular board, with little metal switches like this that each corresponds to a Red/Green LED. I flip the switch and it changes from red to green. there'd be a little spot for a slip of paper or maybe a chalkboard thing to label each switch, and it'd plug into the wall for it's power source. And it would need to be tileable, like each switch/led/label section would need to be removable so I could add/remove things from my to-do list as i need. aaaaand it'd be cool if i could have a system where it'd automatically reset each day.the thing is i have absolutely no idea how to make something like this at all.
help
are any of you smart with wires and leds n stuff
i would greatly appreciate some guidance
-
So I think it would be easiest for you to make a list where each objective is written on a whiteboard to the side with a light next to it. You can buy red/green lights with their own switch for a semi-reasonable amount so you don't even need to do it yourself.
I have no idea how to make it reset at the end of the day that might have to be manual.

the minecraft credits poem is just.....*chef's kiss*
if you havent read it, do so, immediately
dont look it up though, play the game, beat the ender dragon
earn it
it is the most amazing poem
very few written works have ever brought me to tears. RoW is one. This poem is another.
and it comes from a heccin block game.
Spoilerbtw just beat minecraft on PC for time, if you couldnt tell.
also did you know that Brando Sando almost wrote the poem
they approached him to do it way back when and he turned them downi'm glad he did tbh because i can't imagine it being any better than it already is.
but crazy that that could have happened- Show previous comments 2 more

Isn’t it supposed to be like, Notch talking to Herobrine or something?
not at all lol
herobrine is entirely a community-made concept, the actual game has nothing to do with him
its a conversation between two higher godlike beings about you, the player. and it’s beautiful.
QuoteWHAAT?!?
my brain... it hurts
QuoteHE WAS APPROACHED TO WRITE IT??????????? WIHQGLIHIOGHAOEFHEROSH
yeah lol
he said so in an episode of “intentionally blank” (which is such a great podcast btw, offers so much insight into brandon’s life)
don’t remember which episode but it’s there somewhere
i think he talked about the SCP foundation in the same episode -
