Just in time for christmas day, heck yeah!
Safe to say, this is by far THE most extensive solo project I've ever worked on!
The song took over 30 hours to compose, and the visual assets for the video took me another 55 hours or so. Add the video editing time into it, and the result is about 90 hours of worktime!
This is a HUGE personal milestone for me, and I'm super proud of tackling it all by myself!
Even if it's not that impressive compared to other music videos that have much more professional editing and stuff, I consider this a huge step forward for me as someone who's practicing arts!
Anyways, whether you're Rain World fans or not- I hope y'all will enjoy the video! ^w^
P.S. Main project? What main project?
[LYRICS]
Ah, the sting of being rejected
Familiar, but always hurt
Brandishing a weak grin, I let myself sinned
Lying to my heart yet again
Ah, there I went yet again
Making a fool of myself
On the outside I smiled, a facade of guile
(But inside...)
Another day, another chance
Another fail that would haunt my mind tonight
Another try to hold back these tears of mine from falling
Seasons passed, everyone kept changing
Yet as they moved on to spring I lingered in this winter
Because I couldn't find the fabled sunlight that everyone else could see
Undeterred, I put on the mask
Played the goofy clown whenever someone glanced at me that day
Because a romantic like me could only dream of being beloved
Gray skies looming above my head
Even while I was indoors
And they never stopped engulfing me in
Their constant downpours and thunders
I laughed to fruitlessly deflect
Levity faked and unseen
Laying in my bed, a tear had been shed
(Did they even care...?)
Another dawn, another sigh
Another smile that did not quite reach my eyes
Another lie that I told myself to hang onto
Seasons passed, from spring to summer
Yet as the sun rose its light did not shine its warmth on me
Because it couldn't see my pitiful presence underneath the shadows
Autumn came, bringing gentle breezes
And I watched the leaves fluttering in the wind without an end
No set destination, no direction at all
(It made me...!)
Sitting there, contemplating thoughts of things that weren't meant to be
Wishing to escape this prison of desires
Reminiscing of the past
Losing myself in this maze filled with nostalgia
But before I could be driven past the point of no return
Something reminded me of the spark of life
Within my soul that revealed the path I once walked
The same one that I had grown too blind to see
Seasons passed, it's winter again
But unlike last time, a warmth in my heart kept me going
For once the sight of snow did not invoke dark thoughts born of loneliness
Gazing at the stars in the sky
Often made me cry, yet tonight I just sat there and smiled
Admiring the beauties, as something within me had changed
Seasons passed, everyone kept changing
And as they moved on to spring I merely followed along
No more being bound by chains, knowing that all my friends were waiting for me
Undeterred, I let myself go
Embracing the part of me that just wanted to be healed
So that someday I could have another attempt at being...
A Romantic~!
