    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 subconscious

    after 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.

    Spoiler

    I 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

      ....it's just a weird song to me, tbh. Sorry. It sounds like an otamatone with a voice and it's.......weird.

      I can kind of see where you're coming from, but....I will probably never listen to that song again.

      @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:

      Quote

      And 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)

      Quote

      I 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.
