Lost Time Memory -ayano alter- (English Cover)【ロスタイムメモリー】

Breadbox 2024-04-11 | This is a remake of a project I made with Will many years ago. I always liked the idea but wanted to redo a few of the lyrics that didn't flow as well and update the manga portions a bit. This is my own retelling of Lost Time Memory from the Kagerou Project but framed to focus on Ayano Tateyama instead of Shintarto Kisaragi. It's moments like these that I really wish IA had an English voice bank, but what are you going to do.

Song: youtube.com/watch?v=yJTQuDCnMjg
Diva: Hatsune Miku
Lyrics/Tuning/Mixing/Editing: David Toth

Lyrics:
Years pass by, but your shadows still surround me
Held up feelings all crying blindly
I crouched alone and had drawn up a sketch of the sky
Through the night and the hills, I tried to wish it
The silhouettes vanished in an instant
The summer heat of the day dyeing red in my eyes…
“Big sis, what’s happening?”
“Close my eyes and say I’m dreaming”
Glaring as she failed to save me
“You’re the reason”
I had cursed and had shouted, eyes stained dark in the seething
“God, I’m sorry”
Sobbing alone under the raining, all the love was gone from my cold face
“Where’s your heart, stuck in a daze?”

Life’s too short to be living full of hurting
At times I fall, but I’m always learning
How nice it’d be if our days could go on like a dream
Years pass by as we’re running through the summer
The simple things fill me up with wonder
A world so sweet, but the beauty is not what it seems
“Don’t let it end”
“It’s the end of my friends,” I stumbled crying
Grabbing at my wrist just to curse it
If we can’t carry on then alone I’ll fight–those happy days were all worth it
“In this summer of dreams, tell me God, oh where’s the answer?”
“I just wanted all of them with me!”
Awkward and lame, I hid my eyes as I stared into the sky
And their smiles burned the back of my mind

Girl, 16, had known no better
To save “those days,” it’s now or never
She turned her back on all she dreamed
So every smile lasts forever
Towards the sun, the school behind me
I closed my eyes and ran off blindly
“Let’s play once more”
I thought while falling to a place unseen

“You okay?” he had asked a breath with worry
Things like him wouldn’t ever get me
So don’t pretend that you’re sad for the life that I live
In this haze, I’ll continue never feeling
Keep up the pace of the days repeating
So that I won’t be forgetting their warming skin
That summer day
Cut away by the pain was how I left you
Everyone was caught in the hurting
All the dreams that we made had begun to fade–my eyes consumed by the burning
“But you know, even so, you had helped me through tomorrow”
Yet it never lessened the burden
Killing the “me” that always tried as I glared into their eyes
And had bid our happy family goodbye

Girl, 16, now warped and breaking
Today at last had stopped her praying
She cast aside her empty dreams
To save the futures she was taking
Crying out towards the victim:
“If only you had died there with them!”
The breath she sighed, now left behind, had slowly stopped its pace

Those summer days…
So far away…
I’m filled with pain…
I won’t let it….
Be touched again….

“Can you hear my voice disappearing in the twilight?”
The reasons then were so clear in hindsight
I rest my eyes as the feeling was lost in the haze

Girl, 18, had prayed so kindly
Those precious days are long behind me
The summer smile I lost to time became the
Light that now will guide me
“I was blind to all you went through”
“But now this time I’ll bear it with you”
Don’t let this scene all end in dreams, you were the world to me
The silhouettes will smile on until the day we’re finally free

So long, my colorful girl feat.GUMI / さよならわたしのカラーガール (Retake)

Breadbox 2024-03-07 | A song of partings from the heart of the departed.

I never liked the mix on this song before, so I redid it and made some minor tweaks to the piano. I think it makes a pretty big difference. Additionally, I wanted an image, which gave me an excuse to draw something for the first time in a millennia.

Music/lyrics/tuning/art: Breadbox/David Toth
Diva: GUMI English V3

Lyrics:
In the inky black, we chased away the past
Walking close, I followed your back
When you turned, I laughed and touched your shaking hand
Those moments defined who I am
Remembering, you said to me: “At times it’s hard to breathe”
While trembling, the deafening regret had stalled your feet
No more crying, my dear… don’t cover your ears
You’re more than the monsters you fear

Lift your head to the sky! Tomorrow is beckoning
No hiding your eyes—I’ll stay here by your side
When the night passes on, It’s all just a memory
So take the morning in stride

At the end, I sighed and fled your teary eyes
As I cursed the flowing of time
You had held me tight and struggled not to cry
I hurt you with all of my lies
You ran away from all the shame that left you in a daze
A bitter hate for everything you tried and failed to save
Let me shelter your heart…It’s cold in the dark
Remember the warmth of my arms

No more tears, turn ahead—I speak in the radiance
The warmth you had left will blossom once again
When you’re thinking of me, I pray that you’re smiling
And know it isn’t the end

Through summers and winters, we followed the sky
You were laughing so kindly, a beacon in the night
So keep walking tomorrow and carry the light
Cause I’m always there by your side

When I see you again, I pray that I’m smiling
No pain, no regret, will take you from my hands
So I’ll go on ahead… I’m sorry for everything
And glad you guided me home
I loved you more than you know

Rain to a flower, a song for you (English Cover)【花に雨を、君に歌を】

Breadbox 2024-02-09 | I found another tsukuyomi off vocal, so that means I'm legally obligated to make a cover of it.
This was the worst thing to mix I've ever done.

Music: Yurrycanon
Original: THE BINARY youtube.com/watch?v=BNdtdkObSP0
Vocals: GUMI & Megurine Luka
Lyrics/Tuning/Mix: David Toth

Lyrics:
I wonder when I started looking at stars and dreaming of dawn
From the windowside, I can hear a cry of the heart—the rain is deafening
Bloodied scars, all the broken parts, and a dream of death in the dark
I had melt them down to ink I turn into song—a dirge of broken thoughts

In a spiral of everyday, all the music turned to ash
Every word I wrote and all the vividness had dried and faded black
It’s a feeling I’m suffering, cause the colors never last
Black and white alone imbue the staff

To the flowers soaked in the rain, all of the songs I wrote you, I pray
Through the madness, you will find a cause to live another day
All the cuts and blistering pain, cursing a past I never could face
Suddenly, something deep inside me says that anything can change

Writing songs, hoping I could save the world, was stupid right from the start
Love and god, dreams and our fantasies, won’t bring me closer to your heart
Say that’s true, still I wanna hear your voice—I’ll go wherever you are
Yeah that’s right, burning like a falling star
I’ll hold you tightly here within my arms

How we live, or how long we last, or if sun will poke through the sky
Every empty line and the letters printed beside aren’t worth my time, I
Find I’m stuck in a cycle writing the same arrangement of lines
Not a thing to trust, not a place to go in my lies, I force myself to write

Pull me close and let us dance a tune to the words we flitted away
Our beating hearts in harmony with the moon within our gaze
If we all embrace our human side, living true and dying the same
Would it even matter anyway?

To the flowers soaked in the rain, all of the songs I wrote you, I pray
Through the madness, you will find a cause to live another day
Every time I think of the pain, facing a past I never could change
Everything falls apart while leaving me to drown myself in dreams of better days

Let me stay forever young over growing up into lies
It’s better to quit than to die on the vine
Could you give me a chance to collect myself and cry?
Cause it’s lonely on my own throughout the night

To the flowers soaked in the rain, all of the songs I wrote you, I pray
Through the madness, you will find a cause to live another day
All the cuts and blistering pain, cursing a past I never could face
Suddenly, something deep inside me says that anything can change
Now the night is fading away, silently love will conquer the hate
Fighting on against the hurting is another part of fate
All the words we scribbled in shame, all of the music written in pain
Never could tell the tale we made together, laughing every day

Writing songs hoping I could save the world was stupid right from the start
Still I dreamed, crying in the agony, that light would shine through the dark
Things like fate, future, or the end of us, don’t need to matter at all
No more tears, shining like a falling star
We’ll sing together, never more to part

Flowers soaked in the rain and the music we made
Painting bright
To our dreams
We will keep on living anyway

If (English Cover)【Hastune Miku】「イフ」

Breadbox 2023-12-14 | If yurrycanon released the off vocals for the entire I want to be your heart story, I would probably make covers of all of them, but alas it's basically if not only this one that has an off vocal. Incidentally, I definitely like the Tsukuyomi version of this song more than the More More Jump version.

I love Rino and Yuma.

Composition: Yurrycanon youtube.com/watch?v=Xt1x1s2eAno
Vocals: Hatsune Miku and Gumi
Tuning/Lyrics/Mix: David Toth

Lyrics:
Why I’m alive, why my body refuses yet to die
Hopefully the answers are there for me to find

It was a day all awash with the rain
I wandered getting soaked with my mind in a haze
With nothing more I could do but to pray
I chased the fleeting rays of the sunshine in vain

That’s right, I’ve
Longed to reach the end I’ve dreamed while
Saying stupid little things
“If I could run, the moon would surely be within my reach”
Even though I know no one knows how
Tomorrow and our future days will be

I gaze ahead in my life, through all the “ifs” and the “lies”
I always second guess the times I couldn't decide
I’m sure I’d manage to thrive without this pain in my mind
But my regrets are more than I can fight
A tale of infinite lines is just a waste of our time
I want a dawn that fades into the blue of the sky
This special feeling, I find, is proof I’m really alive
And one I make from being by your side

A nice arrangement of comforting words
And poems that share the beautiful lessons they learn
I’ll mix the shades to swear that I’m sure
And leave behind a message to prove
I really lived and smiled here with you in our world

Lies that are spoken with love
And the truths that are dirtied in blood
If we all could forgive everything, everyone
Cause we all know we’ve suffered enough

I wonder, if
Everything could start again
Just maybe I would be instead
Living my dreams, with love and money overflowing in the end
But you wouldn’t be there with me, would you?
Singing by my side through every breath

I gaze ahead in my life, through all the “ifs” and the “lies”
I always second guess the times I couldn't decide
I’m sure I’d manage to thrive without this pain in my mind
But my regrets are more than I can fight
I gaze ahead in my life, through all the “ifs” and the “lies”
I want to live and die a “me” that fully is mine
There’s not an answer to find and through your pain you’ll survive
If I could get another shot at life…
I know that singing our lines won’t save the world from the lies
But just for you alone I’ll sing my heart to the sky
Repeating thousands of times, the sound will ring through the night
I want you singing, laughing, by my side

Why I’m alive, why my body refuses yet to die
Even now, I don’t know the cause, but I
Know though this life may never break through the darkness yet to shine
Even so, the world is a treasure full of light
Still, we’ll stay alive

every single deco*27 song sounds exactly the same

Breadbox 2023-10-12 | In the spirit of the sport, this song means basically nothing aside from the satire and the lyrics deliberately make little sense.

AKA: Toilet Girl
Diva: Hatsune Miku (I'm sorry for doing this to you)
Music/Lyrics/Tuning: David Toth

Lyrics:
Cause I’m a toilet girl
You throw me away
No matter how I try it seems everything’s ending
Toilet girl, it sounds all the same
The music spins all around and into the drain
My love

I just can’t get enough
Your voice in the moonlight
It’s poison
Our future caked in rust
I’m numb to the hurting
Don’t say it isn’t love

So stupid, I run but I can’t break free
Blood, I knew it
There’s nothing at all inside of me

Cause I’m a toilet girl
You throw me away
No matter how I try it seems everything’s ending
Toilet girl, it sounds all the same
The music spins all around and into the drain
So—
Wow~
Keep it moving
Running to the breaking dawn, get me through it
Wow~
Keep me lucid
But I knew it all along, it’s the end, my love

This is the second verse we change the arrangement
Just slightly
Did you know every word I’m writing is just the
First thing that comes to me?

So stupid, I run but I can’t break free
Please, get through it
There’s nothing at all inside of me

Cause I’m a toilet girl
You throw me away
No matter how I try it seems everything’s ending
Toilet girl, it sounds all the same
When will you wake up and see you’re stuck in a daze?
Toilet girl
You throw me away
No matter how I try it seems everything’s ending
Toilet girl, it sounds all the same
The music spins all around and into the drain
So—
Wow~
Keep it moving
Running to the breaking dawn, get me through it
Wow~
Keep me lucid
But I knew it all along, it’s the end, my love

Dear VOCALOID feat. Hatsune Miku【Breadbox】

Breadbox 2023-08-13 | A song about somehow growing up.

Music/Lyrics/Mix: David Toth
Diva: Hatsune Miku

Off vocal: docs.google.com/document/d/10Bh-DlxRhmfS1vHopabprR3JAZuQf6JjxypwaXlgw0g/edit?usp=sharing

Lyrics:
Long off and far away, I heard a little tune
Struck by the harmony, the world began to move
High, the king sat admiring the view
Dolls and angels all were dancing in the hues
Come tell me, I’m listening
I’ll follow where you go
Keep singing that melody
The sound will guide me home
Stuck at the borderline, the student seeks the light
While plucking lilies in the solitude of night
Lonely children had struggled to survive
Hiding demons as the fox began to smile
Come tell me, I’m listening
I’ll follow where you go
Keep singing that melody
The sound will guide me home

I wonder when I’m older if I’ll find the reason why
I couldn’t shed a single tear the day the music died
When August faded out of sight, in clear transparent skies
All the scraps that we had left behind waved softly as they said goodbye

When autumn showed its face, the parents left the stage
Dreaming forever, in the stories that they gave
Laughing brightly, the nights we burned away
Took the strobing to a place avoid of pain
Come tell me, I’m listening
I’ll follow where you go
Keep singing that melody
The sound will guide me home
I saw a vision of a girl within the snow
Her body broken down from rolling all alone
Bowing kindly, the king had left his throne
Chasing moonlight to a world I’ll never know
Come tell me, I’m listening
I’ll follow where you go
Keep singing that melody
The sound will guide me home

I wonder when I’m older if I’ll find the reason why
I couldn’t shed a single tear the day the music died
When chasing hints of better skies, it all had passed me by
Every note that you had given me’s a gift I’ll keep for life
So tell me, I’m listening
I’ll follow where you go
Keep singing that melody
The sound will guide me home
I wonder in my youth if I had cherished you enough
I’ll write the pain in paper planes to show you what I loved
Each time I hear a melody, I’m always looking up
For now and many years to come, your sound is what I’m dreaming of

Happy Synthesizer (English Cover)【Megurine Luka & Gumi】「ハッピーシンセサイザ」

Breadbox 2023-07-23 | I love this song and the "official" English version is a garbage fire. I think it also was a great exercise in really understanding how to make Luka sound better. Happy synthesizer also has a really bright and poppy sounding Gumi, which isn't how I ever usually tune her myself. I really liked mixing Gumi and Luka together too.

Song: youtube.com/watch?v=xOKplMgHxxA
Composer: EasyPop
Vocal: Gumi & Megurine Luka
Lyrics/tuning/mix: David Toth

Lyrics:
Happy synthesizer, humming a tune to reach to where you are
I’ll send my feelings, beckoning, right into your heart

Love so sweet but bitter lost is sorta like a shooting star
Blink your eyes in a flash it’s gone, with night it all departs
Beauty like a work of art made numb the tiny little scars
Thinking back on the better parts, I couldn’t hate it all
When I grow up will all I have be a memory of holding back?
“Act like an adult, you can’t do that”
Never tell me who I am!
Really our world, it moves so fast and I hate that I can’t understand
“I’ll be with you ‘till the end”
Was a lie to you my friend

Happy synthesizer, humming a tune to reach to where you are
I’ll send my feelings, beckoning, right into your heart
Pointless kinds of “pretty lies” and things that tear your world apart
I’ll take the hate and misery and drown it in song
I’m not much good for anything
I don’t know really how to live
But if you’re hurting then there’s something to give
I’ll take these simple little things
And hope they’ll help just a bit
So here’s a melody, let’s smile and sing!

Loving doesn’t have a price or a kind of silly starting line
Don’t be trapped in easy lies, say whatever’s on your mind
Giving up before you try cause the world was always so cold and blind
Never left your tired eyes with the “you” you wanted to find
“Sorry again I called so late… if you have to go it’s all okay”
“Reach me any time of night or day, I was gonna do the same!”
Laughing with a joy that can’t be tamed and a heart that sets a spark aflame
Savoring the sound of precious days and a love that never will fade

Happy synthesizer, listen, the music moves so tenderly
I’ll wipe away the tears that no one bothered to see
Do I have to hide the pain?
No, tell me when you’re suffering
Embrace the one so deep inside you wanted to be
I’m not much good for anything
I don’t know really how to live
But if you’re hurting then there’s something to give
Though it’s a bit embarrassing
I hope they help you just a bit
So here’s a melody, let’s smile and sing!

Happy synthesizer, humming a tune to reach to where you are
I’ll send my feelings, beckoning, right into your heart

I don’t know really how to live

Senbonzakura (English Cover)【Hatsune Miku】「千本桜」

Breadbox 2023-05-02 | I realized that all of my life I only ever used Miku's V3 voicebank, so I wanted to try out her V4 one. This is the result. I honestly can't tell if it's that much of a night and day difference, but she at least seems a little bit less like a muppet than she usually does.

Song: youtube.com/watch?v=shs0rAiwsGQ
Producer: Kurousa-P
Diva: Hatsune Miku V4
Lyrics/Tuning/Ect: David Toth

Lyrics:
All rise, revolution, harsh cries of retribution
Now lies the wars we tried with absolution
Riding free, the sun behind us, churning seas of western vengeance
Truest peace protected by the I.C.B.M.

Take my hand, we’ll run down the road that winds
Always keep on, no man left behind
Boys and girls bear blood of the samurai
As the world turns before their eyes

In the dead of the night, the blossoms fill the sky
Though your voice calls and fights, I can’t make out the cries
Here we bask in the feast, a prison paved in greed
Looking downward, laughing, from the guillotine
And the smothering dark will blot out all the stars
Though you scream out your heart, I can’t hear where you are
We are hurt, but we dream of azure skies of peace
So we’ll raise our guns and fire ‘till we’re free!

Once off fighting for the nation, honor dies to sweet temptation
All rise to mourn their lies with indignation
Come now, we’ll wait no longer, no doubt, we carry onward
Saints bowing as we march to: 1, 2, 3, 4

Take my hand we’ll run through the torii high
Cleanse out the soul and hunt throughout the night
Curtains close on the dreams before our eyes
As we bow through breathless sighs

In the dead of the night, the blossoms fill the sky
Though your voice calls and fights, I can’t make out the cries
Here we bask in the feast, a prison paved in greed
Looking downward, laughing, from the guillotine
And the smothering dark will blot out all the stars
Though you scream out your heart, I can’t hear where you are
We are down on our knees, our Canaan out of reach
So ignite that flash and fire ‘till we’re free!

Take my hand we’ll run down the road that winds
Always keep on, no man left behind
Boys and girls bear blood of the samurai
As the world turns before their eyes

In the dead of the night, the blossoms fill the sky
Though your voice calls and fights, I can’t make out the cries
Here we bask in the feast, a prison paved in greed
Looking down we’ll break free of the guillotine
In the dead of the night, the blossoms fill the sky
If you’re singing so bright, I’ll dance with you tonight
Here we bask in the feast, a prison paved in greed
So embrace your dreams and fire ‘till we’re free!

Lion (English Cover)【Megurine Luka & GUMI】「ライオン」

Breadbox 2023-03-03 | I watched the Macross frontier movies and have found it endlessly entertaining knowing that Megumi Nakajima is, of course, the voice provider of GUMI. So I made this for fun. This is the first time I've ever used Luka's English voicebank. It's definitely better than Miku's, but I still think V3 GUMI is smoother and easier to work with in genral.

Song: Lion
Composer: Yoko Kanno
Original Vocals: May'n & Megumi Nakajima
Divas: GUMI & Megurine Luka

Lyrics:
Diving through the starlight
Cut an arc through the heart of the world
When you sneeze in a forest, dazzling
The life, it turns and flutters
Never fear to falter
When protecting the key to the door
Through the shame that had left you stammering
The lion turns to bear its fangs forever more

Let me live another day
Let me live another day
Let me see the future beckoning
By the grace of every star above we met to reach the ending
Let me live another day
I don’t know what more to say
In a glint it all was mended
‘till the day that I can dance above in pride
I swear I’ll rise until the morning light

Flowing with the stardust
Every wind will fly out to the east
The weight of a life spent cowering
Will break the ice that’s binding
Pain is all that follows
From the source of the blood and the grief
Soar now in a sky we’re never seen
A terror crushes, stirring deep inside of me

Let me live another day
Let me live another day
Let me see the future beckoning
By the grace of every star above we met to reach the ending
Let me live another day
I don’t know what more to say
In a glint it all was mended
‘till the day that I can dance above in pride
I swear, I’ll rise until the morning light

Why, oh, was I born upon the world?
Tell me what this little life is worth

Let me live another day
Though my body, cut with pain
Feared a future that was shining
By the grace of every star above, I turned and saw you smiling
I don’t need to run away
Keep me close through every shame
Though my blushing leaves me hiding
‘till the day that I can dance above in pride
I swear, I’ll rise until the morning light

Let me live another day
At the edge, I still remain
Cause I love you ever dearly
By the will of those who dare to dream, we chased that bitter feeling
Not a madness, seeped in hate
In my grief I choose to pray
Cause I love you ever dearly
By the grace of every star above…
Let me live another day
I don’t know what more to say
Cause I love you ever dearly
Till the day that I can dance above, so free
I swear, I’ll fight the pain in front of me

I Want to Be Your Heart -piano ver- (English Cover)【だれかの心臓になれたなら】

Breadbox 2022-11-21 | I know that I basically just did this, but when I did this the first time I was too lazy to write a harmony line. Furthermore, I was listening to the I want to be your heart memoirs and fell in love with piano arrangements of this song.
So, I wrote in a harmony line, changed the tuning a bit, fixed a few sour notes, and this is the end result.

Also, I didn't want to just slow down the normal PV, so I stitched a video together out of clips from Moonlight at Midday, Reason for Existence, and Sing the Moon.

Rino and Yuma's story is one I hold very dear to me and I'm proud of the end result.

Song: I Want to Be Your Heart youtube.com/watch?v=hZFBTnzKa54
Composer: Yurry canon
Vocal: #gumi
Lyrics, tuning, mix: David Toth

Lyrics:
Can my life be the light of a heart that is beating slow
As they try to survive in a pain that I’d never know?
Deep inside I will find all the words in a daze I wrote
Every line left to die for the one that I loved the most

The town and populace are all a twisted lie
So full of demons, I had finally realized
What a life of desire eating them alive
As I gaze away with cold reflective eyes
And once again the puppets dance upon their strings
Too deaf to hear the twisted actor as he sings
Lacking reason we were born, I wonder why we live
When every dream we catalyzed disappears in sin, so

“Please, somebody love me”
A prayer we all had dreamed about, just
“Please, somebody love me”
We take the hand that’s reaching out, so
“Please, somebody love me”
I’ll carve and free my heart
With a love so pathetic and sweet that it may fall apart

Can my life be the light of a heart that is beating slow
As they try to survive in a pain that I’d never know?
When my mind looked behind at the end of the fading road
Watching time, did I find: death was soon in tow
I’d be alright if I drowned in the rain below
Close my eyes in the night and be one with the warping tones
So could I, oh could I, like the days that I loved the most
Shun the light by your side—an umbrella to hold us close?

If only I had never woken from the dream
I wonder, maybe, if we’d meet again in peace?
But my fingers lose their warmth as I face reality
What’s the force that moves my beating heart
The incessant memories?

Fading station in the rain, a clinic colored gray, the
Power lines all stacked the same
See the stop within the shade, a ferris wheel crumbling
Left to rot away
Flowers blooming in your place, you sing another day, but
Something isn’t sane
Ah, how can they act like nothing more remains?

“Let me die close my eyes,” yet I live through another day
Wanting life, deep inside, now the last of your sorrow fades
Why, oh why, do we cry when the petals all wilt in pain?
Pretty lies, borrowed time—that’s the human race

There might not be such a thing as eternity
All the days we had paved might not ever have led to peace
Yet the same, night will fade and we’ll open our eyes to see
Tied by fate, we remain, by a thread that will never leave

Any place, any shame, I would live through the darkest dream
If the trade I had made meant you went through the night with me
In the flames, through the pain, you were all that I’d ever need
Every day, burnt away, you’re my heart that beats

Ah, let me be everything you had ever done for me
Be the heart in the grief that would reach out a hand and could set me free

Servant of Evil ~Country Version~ (English Cover)【Breadbox】「悪ノ召使」

Breadbox 2022-09-18 | My goal was to create the single worst thing humanity has ever seen.

Lyrics:
Oh my girl, baby queen, I will serve until I die
God above gave us life, on a frosty friday night
Yeah, I’m here to protect you in sunshine and in rain
Workin’ hard in the dirt so your smile remains

Since the lord above had made our tiny little lives
Truckers cracked the windows down and honked a little whine
Rollin’ down them country roads the music playing bright
I got lost within the tune and had missed to call you mine
But when stormy days send the cows home to cry
When they blast your name to a thunderin’ high
You can count me in as a pal by your side
No more tears, more beers, it’ll be alright

Oh my girl, baby queen, I will serve until I die
God above gave us life, on a frosty friday night
Yeah, I’m here to protect you in sunshine and in rain
Workin’ hard in the dirt so your smile remains

Rollin’ down to Raleigh there a girly caught my eye
Jeans as blue as the sky and legs that climbed up extra high
Stars within my eyes, I cracked a couple Natty Lights
I could feel in my heart it was love at first sight
But my girl back south wouldn’t take to my woes
She had told me clear that that babe’s gotta go
So I packed my bags and returned down that road
Though them legs never lie, I got family at home

Oh my girl, baby queen, I will serve until I die
God above gave us life on a frosty friday night
“I got biscuits and cream,” I had laughed by your side
And you smiled so bright, such a sunny delight

Soon now this party’s gotta meet a bitter end
Common folk are cryin’ that my girl is gotta quit
Puffin’ and their hatin’ never bothered me a bit
I will stand by my sis, by my precious little twin
“Here’s a brilliant idea, let’s swap out our threads
“Go on ridin’ out to Jackson and start all again”
“It will be okay, I will handle what’s left”
“Not a single soul could imagine that we switched”

And now I am my girl and you’re runnin’ on the loose
What an outlaw so cute, sippin’ whiskey out in June
They can hate you and spit, but all they’ll ever do
Mama, watch how I fight when there’s somethin’ to lose

Long down the Georgia nine, there was a pretty ranch
Stunned a couple suckers who were jealous of the land
Rockin’, the windows down, a beer to warm the nights
Was my dearest little sis, who I’m standin’ in disguise
But when stormy days send the cows home to cry
When they blast your name to a thunderin’ high
You can count me in as a pal by your side
So just smile somewhere in a better life

Girl, baby queen, I will serve until I die
God above gave us life on a frosty friday night
Yeah, I’m here to protect you in sunshine and in rain
Workin’ hard in the dirt so your smile remains

Oh my lady, my queen, I will serve until I die
Fate had given us life, now the twins are damned with spite
If someday we’re reborn and are pardoned all of our crimes
In the south they won’t judge if I kiss my sister, right?

【GUMI】Fractal Heart | Breadbox

Breadbox 2022-06-20 | Another character song I wrote for another character in one of my books.

Music, tuning, lyrics: David Toth
Vocal: GUMI

Lyrics:
As the moon starts to rise, not a soul disturbs the night
I can feel horrid thoughts fill my mind
Like the snow in the light disappears into the sky
Everything melts away from my side

You had held my hand through the thundering rain
When monsters peered from the dark
But I never turned and had loved you the same
Too frail to open my heart

Let me walk within your footprints and chase the sea
Deep into the red horizon, you ran with me
There’s a voice that’s calling for me desperately
A summer psalm for the free

Show me how to live without you, I’ve fall’n apart
I would give it all to follow to where you are
Too afraid to end it, but where should I start?
Your gentle light invades my heart
There was once a time you told me, tears in your eyes
Just how very happy you were to be alive
I don’t know if I could ever be that bright
But still I’ll follow your stride
I swear to God that I’ll try

White Album 2 Review - The Romantic Masterpiece

Breadbox 2022-06-12 | I despise recording footage for videos. This is why I usually stick to vocaloid songs.

And wow, I can't actually post all of the lyrics because they're too long. I guess I'll put it in the comments or something. Anyways, this is something I wanted to do for a long time, just cause I love the nico medleys. That alone could persuade me to touch miku's english bank.

Mozaik Role (GUMI English)【モザイクロール】

Breadbox 2022-05-09 | This song appeared in a playlist so I listened to it for the first time in like 60 years and the chorus has been stuck in my head, so here it is. The octave below the vocal line in the choruses is done with Fukase, cause octave gumi sounded stupid. Deco 27's cool sometimes I guess.

Lyrics:
Bullet wounds, the words I use
Only proof of my love for you
The liquid tells a truth through crimson hues
The pain is nothing new, I’ll follow through
I know you hurt too

An absent minded love that’s fattened up
By dollars buying trust that’s caked in blood
That looks a lot like us, turned to rust
I know I’d say as much, the game’s been won
“No matter what, I love you so…!”

What makes it wrong to love you through the pain?
Never wait, we’ll decay, tied down and safe away
I’m sure the only word for it is fate
Dissipate, dissipate, let love alone remain

By the time the end arrives
I will leave your side, out of sight
For was it loving pride or lustful eyes
That made our hearts collide? I don’t know why

An absent minded love that’s fattened up
By dollars buying trust that’s caked in blood
That looks a lot like us, turned to rust
I know I’d say as much, the game’s been won
No matter what, I won’t care, so…!

What made it wrong to hope the hurting changed?
What a waste, I’m afraid, please hold me anyway
Without your love, why live another day?
In a blaze, in a blaze, I can’t withstand your hate
What makes it wrong to love you through the pain?
Never wait, we’ll decay, tied down and safe away
I’m sure the only word for it is fate
Dissipate, dissipate, let love alone remain

Is Vocaloid dead?

Breadbox 2022-05-06 | I'm sure this will be a hot take and this isn't a particularly happy video, but I think it's an interesting piece of cultural anthropology. I've wanted to make something like this for a while.

Oh also, there's a point I make where I talk about fan MV creation and make a hypocritical point visually and auditorily. My intention was that kagepro was the last vanguard of the old culture, though I didn't express that well. Sorry about that, you'll understand when you get there.

Dear you (GUMI English)【Kagerou Project MAD】

Breadbox 2022-05-05 | I simultaneously felt like making a vocaloid cover and an AMV so I did both at once. Higurashi is based.

I wrote the lyrics, tuned gumi, and edited the PVs together.

Lyrics:
Where might you be right now, where have you gone
What are you doing now?
Are you somewhere waiting far in the sky or high in the clouds?
I realized for the first time what it had meant when you were by my side
Each feeling that I lost here in this cold, painful life
You pushed me through the hardship, carried me along when I could barely move
You told me to smile made my world brighter than I knew
But I lost every one of those warm summer days
The pain and the fear were just too much to take
Even when I tried my best to move on
Reaching my hand to take back everything I lost
You slipped through my fingers and faded like the wind and snow
I thought you would hold me, but I was alone

My chest it had tightened wrought with despair, loneliness killing me
I’d feel my heart breaking to bits and trying to scream
But somewhere inside I would recall how you used to smile bright
Still pushing me on, forever right there soft by my side

Let’s relive that time we loved so much and lost
I know that I will surely find what we want
Ever and forever we will smile through this life
So closely beside you, right there by your side

Where might you be right now, where have you gone
What are you doing now?
Are you somewhere waiting far in the sky or high in the clouds?
And when we’re united will you just laugh, smile like you always had?
Right now that is all that I will ever need or I could ask

Tsukihiko Kozakura Song | Hitoribochi Cradle【VOCALOID/KAGEPRO】

Breadbox 2022-02-17 | Tsukihiko never got a character song and God helps those who help themselves so I made one.

I, David Toth, did the comp and tuning and stuff and Gumi's singing obviously.
I tried to be clever and use Shinigami Record as a leitmotif at the end. I think it turned out okay. I also have a few references to my own lyrics for Shinigami Record, so be sure to listen to that on Will Stetson's channel if you haven't heard.

Lyrics:
Why in the world was I ever born?
Tripping, a stain on this earth
Coward, a monster, with pointed words
Fear is the lesson I learn
Silent, a soldier had went to war
Hatred consuming the world
People were dying at every turn
Truly the fate we deserve

And I wondered there in the grief
Why I lived in spite of the agony
As the bullets danced in the breeze
And the innocent were reprieved

Tell me, why in this world do we hate and murder with poisoned hands
For a love and a peace that we take away from our fellow man?
And the monsters come out at night
In our hearts, they eat us alive

Braving the battle, I left the grove
Useless to challenge my foes
Too strong to kill, but too weak to know
How I could save or atone
Then, I discovered a girl alone
Hiding from all of the woe
Quiet, enchanting, just like a ghost
Somehow as sweet as a rose

And I wondered there in the peace
If an angel truly had come for me
As she told me I could be me
And my heart was finally free, tell me

Tell me, why in this world do we love each other and join hands
When the hate and the pain is all surely bound to return again?
And she turned to me in the light
Was it fine that I had survived?
In your heart, you cry out to die
So I’ll take your hand here in mine

Ah…

Count up all the sins in your never ending life
Throw them all away when I’m standing by your side
“Hate me, I’m a monster,” that’s really all a lie
Watch me, I’m looking in your eyes
Maybe I don’t know all the hate that you have seen
Maybe it’d be best if you turned your back to leave
But I see a heart that is longing to be free
Smile and come follow me
Imagine how great it would be

Vocaloid and the leitmotif

Breadbox 2022-01-24 | Side note, I know that a leitmotif is not the same thing as a theme and I do use them interchangeably once within the script. In common prose the essance is the same and I didn't feel like explaining the difference between a theme, motif, and leitmotif. The function as I describe it is still the same.

Mekakushi Dan Hallelujah | Kagerou Proejct【Hatsune Miku】

Breadbox 2021-12-31 | Sayonara 2021. This is an idea I've had for a long time and since I'm home without my mic or desktop, now was the perfect time to sit down and bang this out.

Lyrics:
They say that time it liberates
For me, it only took away
With crimson, so unfitting, stained on though you
You showed me love within the fear
When I had prayed to disappear
The smile that you gave was hallelujah

I never felt the weight of love
I never felt the joy of trust
A mask I built of lies was all I knew but
I wondered how you felt inside
And as the light had left your eyes
At last, I understood your hallelujah

Our world is far too cruel, it seems
If I could know just how you think
Perhaps I could have changed that bitter future
But seeing one as weak as me
It gave me reason to believe
The warmth within your hands was hallelujah

For all my life, I dreamed I’d see
A world just like a fantasy
Cause monsters never get to start anew but
You took my hand and called me "friend"
So let me hear your voice again
The bitterness became my hallelujah

I never could compare to you
You shined in all I failed to do
And pain pushed us apart all while we grew up
But faced with fear from God replaced
You gave your very soul to take
The love I should’ve showed was hallelujah

This world had never cared for me
I close my eyes, but damn my sleep
And dream this tired life became a new one
Our broken hearts had found their peace
And lifted me from agony
But love, it comes too late for hallelujah

I thought there was no place for me
And cursed the very air I breathed
Until you all returned to me my future
But then you each had let my side
So tell me, God, why I’m alive
When nothing else remains but hallelujah?

If angels walk you and I
Then you’re the closest thing alive
I’d follow you no matter what you do but
For decades, I have watched you die
As God returns you to his side
The tears that never dried were hallelujah

We fought the fight, but lost the war
Our hope receding more and more
It broke my coward heart and all I knew but
There’s still a flame inside of me
That dreams of crimson victory
Your pain that I’ll avenge was hallelujah

My God, I never asked for much
I thought that living was enough
Until the day that you would call me to you
But please, dear lord, I want to play
Just let me live another day
Their laughter by my side was hallelujah

I’ve seen the way the story ends
I wonder, just how much is left?
Throughout my life I’ve always been a fool but
I know, somehow, you’ll all survive
Cause heroes never really die
A love that never ends… my hallelujah

Eulogy for Light【Breadbox ft. GUMI】

Breadbox 2021-10-24 | Lol I haven't taken music theory in 4 years what're chords bro.
I'm trapped at home unable to record audio, but luckily Gumi doesn't need to talk so here's a song.

The concept is a young girl singing about her deceased lover and learning to get over it.

Diva: GUMI English V3
Music/Lyrics/Tuning/Mixing/Everything actually: David Toth
twitter.com/BreadBoxVideo

Lyrics:
No more tired faces, I swear I’m gonna make it!
I’ll listen for the changes and write a melody
Filling up the spaces The parts of me I hated
And paint a picture called me

Yesterday was crazy, my mind’s gone numb and hazy
No time for being lazy, but just a moment please
Throw away the maybes of pushing up the daisies
By counting down the days he had lost the energy

Reach out
Tomorrow's closing in
Breathe out!
For where we’ll go we’re never knowing
Seek out!
The pieces you lost
Believe you’ll find a place where you belong

I gave into the hurting and lost my very purpose
May the summer heat persuade me to sleep
Playing back all the memories of every kiss you gave me
What a bitter taste that it leaves
But maybe when the sunsets, you’ll seep into my conscience
And we’ll both pretend the future was kind
Misery like a battle, you hold me in the shadows
In this eulogy for my light

“Geez you’re such a downer!” You said so full of laughter
“The future doesn’t matter!” You placed your hand in mine
“Speak a little louder, you might not have the power”
“But that’s no cause to cower, cause now I’m by your side, right?”

Just another daydream, another hour wasted
I’ll find a way to face it, that’s what you always said
Lacing up my sneakers, I’ll climb a little steeper
So maybe when I meet her she’ll take my hand again

Reach out
The night is closing in
Breathe out
That heart of glass was never broken
Seek out
The pieces you lost
Believe you’ll find a place where you belong

I’ll run into tomorrow and everything that follows
You were never one for dragging your feet
Playing back all the memories, the nights your smile saved me
In your arms I knew I was free
And maybe when I see you, we’ll get another redo
I would take you hand and hold it do tight
Shaking off all the worries, my eyes a little blurry
In this eulogy for my light

I will run into that bitter heat
Every sight upon my eyes reminds me that the world is changing
I’ll find a sort of peace of mind
That’ll take me through the pain until there’s nothing that remains But the light

You told me to keep going, to sprint while never slowing
I could change the world if only I try
I don’t know how I’ll do it, but know I’ll make it through it
So I hope you’re watching my stride

I’ll run into tomorrow, and everything that follows
You were never one for dragging your feet
Playing back all the memories
The nights your smile saved me
In your arms I knew I was free
And maybe when I see you, we’ll get another redo
I would take you hand and hold it do tight
Shaking off all the worries, my eyes a little blurry
In this eulogy for my light
I’ll find your smile in time

Lyrics:
Even in the midst of the boundless flowing time
I look but all I see is the listlessness run ‘round my mind, but
through these weary eyes my own heart is blind to me
withdrawing from my mind, yet I have no feeling
Even if I stop, fade into obscurity
I’ll just be swept away through the cracks of time eternally
I just don’t give a damn ‘bout the world surrounding me
“I am nothing but me,” words I speak so blindly

Is it all a dream? Is it nothing that I see?
All my words are frayed and weak, even if I try to speak
And this sadness leaves me limp, far too frail to even try
It’d be so easy to live feeling nothing deep inside
there’d be nothing that you seek from a heart that’s lost in lies
If I were to move again, find the things I sorely lack
I would only fail you then and stain everything with black
For a man of only wrong, is there somewhere still to go?
Is there somewhere I belong? Tell me I don’t even know
Does my heart lament in pain? Is it filled with hate and grief?
I don’t know what it contains--I know nothing about me
Even walking’s such a chore, all these unreal demands
All these people more and more I will never understand
If I were to make a change, if I stepped into the light
Would my soul then clear the stain and become a blinding white?

Even in the midst of the boundless flowing time
I look but all I see is the listlessness run ‘round my mind, but
through these weary eyes my own heart is blind to me
withdrawing from my mind, yet I have no feeling
Even if I stop, fade into obscurity
I’ll just be swept away, through the cracks of time eternally
I just don’t give a damn, ‘bout the world surrounding me
“I am nothing but me,” words I speak so blindly

Is this all a dream? Is it nothing that I see?
All my words are frayed and weak, even if I try to speak
And this sadness leaves me limp, far too frail to even try
It’d be so easy to live feeling nothing deep inside
Even if you were to speak, the words only paralyze
there’d be nothing that you seek, from a heart that’s lost in lies
If I were to move again, find the things I sorely lack
I would only fail you then and stain everything with black
Is there still a future waiting within this useless time?
If I leave it all to fate will I still be me inside?
If I told you who I am, what I was within this place
Maybe then you’d finally see that I’m just another face
Will I truly still exist in a place that is like this?
Will I find a way to live feigning momentary bliss?
If I were to make a change, if I stepped into the light
Would my soul then clear the stain and become a blinding white?

Am I living in a dream? Is it nothing that I see?
All my words are frayed and weak, even if I try to speak
And this sadness leaves me limp, far too frail to even try
It’d be so easy to live feeling nothing deep inside
Even if you were to speak, the words only paralyze
there’d be nothing that you seek, from a heart that’s lost in lies
If I were to move again, find the things I sorely lack
I would only fail you then and stain everything with black

If I were to move again, if I were to move again
Everything would break and bend, everything would break and bend
If I can’t hold back the tears as they pour down from my eyes
Even drowning in that fear could I still return to white?
And I don’t know who you are, who I am, or what I’d find
And I don’t know where to start, is it still too late to try?
If my heavy eyes awake and I leave the things I lack
I’d destroy all that’s at stake and then let it turn to black

Kagerou Daze II AUDIOBOOK (part 5) | Headphone Actor

Breadbox 2021-02-12 | I decided to skip Yuukei Yesterday because it's the same story of Takane and Haruka that's present in both the anime and the manga. Instead, I've recorded for you the other accompanying part of the novel, "headphone actor" which provides some more insight into Takane's time in the kagerou daze. I will do the last portion of A Headphone Actor next and then will move right onto The Children Reason unless people really really want Yuukei Yesterday for some reason.
