this is a gift for my friends, and for anyone who has or still needs groups like this to keep you from goin' panda when you don't need to. may all our relationships -- friends, family, or otherwise -- be long, loving, and filled with SUPER MEGA BOPS.
anyway. please enjoy my rendition of what is an incredible blast back to my grade school dances. i had no choice but to cover this after watching the film -- i cried like 5 times, sent it to my mom, and immediately organized a watch party with my friends.
i hope you enjoy, and give #TurningRed a watch if you haven't! it's a nostalgic, feel-good movie with really complex dynamics and a lovely history.

please check the section after the intro in this description for attributions.riley adventuring on the seashorizon2023-12-05 | when i heard i added him here, but it's too much like him not to share now. i love you guysAppealhorizon2023-12-05 | **REVIEWERS - PLEASE READ** I recognize that I may not have addressed everything I needed to, but I had to cut for time. Although I can acknowledge that my channel consists of covers more often than not, I haven't had the time and technology available to create everything I've wanted to.
To be stifled now that, after 13 years of bringing people to your website, I can finally create my own music -- such as the gap, Sleepwalking, FORTUNE, the muses' lullaby, Sburban Juxtaposition, OLD GODS NEW ANGELS, EVERFLOW, and more -- is heartbreaking. Even in terms of covers, the vast majority are over instrumentals from Homestuck without lyrics -- but *I was the one that wrote those melodies and lyrics and then sung them* over songs I loved. Many of these creators have worked with me since, and been happy to see their work evolve out of pure passion.
The few homestuck-related songs I've monetized have either been my own works originally, such as confinis, the muses' lullaby, old gods new angels, or suburban juxtaposition, while the monetized covers were confirmed with the original writers -- like flare, derse dreamers, and three in the morning. that ad revenue should be collected by the musicians as per our contract's rules, and I am obligated to make sure those funds return to Clark Powell and Solatrus, regardless of whether or not the withheld revenue has to be repaid to them from my own pocket.
I want to create more of my own content besides these things, but your algorithm forces me to find ways through it -- such as uploading a cool fishing experience before a new song comes out. I teased a particularly desired ORIGINAL sequel to Derse Dreamers less than a month ago, but now it is delayed thanks to this issue. I also have a large fanbase that looks for the same songs people such as Christina Vee and EVE have risen into original music for covering. This was a common act in the VOCALOID scene -- people would cover music until gaining the skills to create their own, or being scouted by a preexisting band.
I had to wait until I could make my own, and even then, it's very difficult. Especially with this.
I recognize the breadth of my work may *appear* limited in terms of originality, but I assure you that had I been given the same opportunities as those listed above -- or those who joined the website later like dream or any other younger youtuber -- I would have been able to create something truly meaningful.
I leave my channel to your judgement. I will find a way through regardless. But I truly hope to work together as partners at some point in the future, and your unfortunately-disjointed but exceedingly goodhearted team has given a number of mixed responses: while I am ignored on twitter, @TeamYoutube followed my account, but then refused to engage with the actual questions I was asking. Your chat advisor told me to try a 4th time to mail a PIN. And now my account is being demonetized despite 13 years of singing into a microphone, if not creating an entire song, lyrics or music or both, for 40-60 hours per video. I am being told it's because I didn't do enough original work.
You can see here, even in simplicity, what I did in two days. If I felt safe enough to upload what I wanted to, I would feel much safer uploading much more original music. If there is a way to sort this out via email, ohanadyomene@gmail.com is the one I check the most.
But, without being able to spend time on original work safely and with response, at the moment I'm just trying to follow the algorithm in a desperate bid to survive, though i've supported this site for more than a decade. An original voice, shared over 13 YEARS, is more than enough, especially with added harmonies and visuals. I have another video planned where I can share those 13 years of musical growth *thanks to your site*. But only if I can be sure the views on my original content will be able to fund more original content -- this is also the only way I can help you grow, too.
I beg of you to restore my channel and to help me function within the issues surrounding my channel. I want so badly to contribute, but I am literally struggling to manage eating, despite trying to sing here for as long as I have. I've done it with full time jobs and I've done it while unemployed in the hospital -- this nexus has meant so much to me, and I would like to participate.
Please. Don't take away what I've labored for over years.
Thank you for listening, and thank you for your time and attention. I hope the video and addendum here address everything. If not, again, please reach out to my contact email -- ohanadyomene@gmail.com . I'm more than happy to share videos of the music I've worked on and the number of tracks that go over even something as seemingly-simple as a cover. Most, if not all, have at least 3 tracks with 20-60+ hours of recordings going into each, not counting the instrumentals whatsoever.

a composition for a Genshin Impact-themed charity raffle. the winner i was matched with, Omen, asked for a simple prompt: "happy melancholy."
the charity raffle was a part of an event called Wall of Hope, which combined the powers of a whole bunch of Genshin discord servers to try to raise money for Save the Children, an organization that helps children all over the world. those who donated were run through a raffle to be matched with an artist, who would then create a piece to the winner's liking. although the page is still running, i've also made this song a semi-permanent place for donations, which you can find either below or beside the video depending on your viewing device.
i offered my music production skills as one of the possible raffle prizes, with a song up to 2 minutes. one of the winner, Omen, provided the "happy melancholy" prompt and helped lead me down the right instrumental path.
i'm overall quite happy with this. i won't be doing my usual "patreon/ko-fi thanks" setup here because of the raffle, but i want to offer a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has continued to support this channel despite all the delays and changes. i appreciate it more than you could know, and i promise i have every intention of catching back up just as soon as i can :)

this composition focuses on Genshin Impact, a Hoyoverse creation. this is not a sponsored or official song.
the song was inspired by Omen's prompts. it was composed, mixed, mastered, and edited together by myself. the download link will be available on my patreon for free within the next few days.
the background screenshot was taken by Brawer_Fjuoon, posted to the WFP server, and used with written permission. they elected not to share any socials, so if they happen by your world for some specialties, please send some love for me!!
there are definitely some references to Ether One's soundtrack in here. although they were unintentional, the game was massively influential to me, so NJ Apostol deserves a mention for their ambient work living rent-free in my head.

as stated above, this particular fan composition began with the MIDI file Oswald Liner kindly shared here on youtube. i really appreciated the way he set up the notes to emulate the samples in the original, and it sparked the lo-fi idea, so i wanted to work with it. you can find his channel and the video with the MIDI below!
the original Pepper Steak, however, was composed and produced (dang that's impressive) by Alias Conrad Coldwood, and is available free below on the Unproductive Fun Time website, which he apparently is the editor of.

hello again! here's a song i wrote after getting way too upset about how companies have been treating people in today's social media age. i've seen it up and down and i'm sure you have too -- artists we care for being treated like they don't matter to people who are making their salaries off of them.
hey! yoo-hoo! over here! we kind of matter.
anyway, some stuff about the song: the chorus is a parody of sorts - or a strawman, if you prefer that. it's meant to kind of taunt the listener into seeing what's really going on in the story -- someone who knows full well all they have to do is say hello to get everything they want.
i'm done trying to monetize, so please consider supporting via ko-fi, bandcamp, or patreon! if you can't, try sharing this video instead. i'd like for it to find some of the people who have struggled with this kind of thing, and any interaction helps more than you know!
nothing much to say except thank you for listening, and consider supporting the artists below.
some background: LO,ON and i came up with this idea when i went through old comments on the lyricover for derse dreamers i did back in the day, and someone said it would be better with dave rapping.
so we decided to do that. but instead of redoing derse dreamers with a rap, we decided to take a tip from mother mother on their hayloft i and ii songs. i flipped the riff around a bit and we worked through from there.
jeremy, if you're reading this, i hope you're proud of how grown up derse dreamers is!!!! i wanted to contact you about this but nothing worked. so, in your absence, we hope you appreciate it.
for everyone else -- i hope the wait wasn't too terrible. please enjoy. :)

i wrote and composed this song myself as a method of processing part of my experience in teyvat -- specifically, the main events of what we see in liyue.
it was also meant as half-gift, half-explanation for someone that once visited there. i'm not sponsored or anything, no one asked me to do this -- i just wanted to say something about what i felt going through that. i hope this will do.
i got into genshin impact when it was first released, but i was busy moving across the country and took a long break. i hadn't explored outside of mondstadt, so when i returned this past june, there was so much for me to see and learn.
what happened in liyue meant a lot. it also took my heart out of my chest, stabbed it at an incredible rate per second, and then gingerly replaced the organ where it should be.
i would never regret it.

a belated gift for my dad. i've complained about him time and time again but it never made it into a song, and i understand why now. it was because we were going to talk again one day. two unexpected seizures into my life... i just want to write something kind and take my time.
this can probably be seen as a lot of different fandoms/games if you squint, but my siblings and i played plenty of stuff with our dad over time, so it's inevitable. the main reference is to frances hodgson burnett's A Little Princess, both the 1909 novel and the 1995 film -- they have different endings in each, and i adore both. i appreciate that she sat in french class for so long while being fluent, and i love my parents for sharing that film with me when it was released in the year of my birth. there's nothing that can come between us anymore except the passage of time, and misunderstandings.
a secondary reference would probably be to anything cat valente has ever done. she gave me my camera back. she gave me my goddamn camera back. it may not be a reference you'd understand, so i'll give you another: i would give her my heart on a platter if i could, but i know she's read sleeping beauty and you can't out-wit the girl in the garden. (that's an s.j. tucker reference. go listen to her song either before or after mine! sjtucker.bandcamp.com/track/girl-in-the-garden )
really. it needed a rewrite or two to be relatable. go read one of cat valente's novels. the past is red is particularly worthy of praise. im saving it for a brighter day. goodreads.com/en/book/show/55077652-the-past-is-red
this song started in 2020 as nothing but a concept in response to the demo i did of "SOMETHING" that year. i've finally fleshed it out. sorry for those who were looking for something else.

+ EASILY my favorite translated lyrics by far. i worked my butt off to get these to match to the best of my ability, and they turned out beautifully. + the mix is also really well-done. - i kind of regret not using the same ending eq Eve did in the original, but i also enjoyed the warmth it had here. + the harmonies were hard-learned but so worth it. + my favorite cover. i think about it a lot when i feel down on myself. the lyrics still match the original tempo in most places, beat for beat.

these are my own english lyrics for sand planet, originally by hachi for Hatsune Miku. hachi's music has been there for me in a way few producers' music ever has -- from the unique instrumentation to the almost-dissonant melodic structure, only scop was close to portraying the hidden anxiety and frustration i felt in my heart. all of it was veiled so much like their music -- through a seemingly optimistic vibe, they deliver painful messages.
to be honest, the vocaloid community is why i'm even singing here in the first place. i was so entrenched in it; so in love with everything i saw and heard, that it was honestly confusing for me that people didn''t sing over music videos in america when they did covers. now i know the community itself was just different.
i loved that culture. i loved the community of sharing and creating music. but as hachi says, so much of it has disappeared.
that's what sand planet is about. it's about how miku and luka and meiko and rin and len and everyone seemingly disappeared as we all grew up. these friends that supported so many people by literally lending a voice to emotions we needed to express... they were left behind.
yes, there is still production, but what existed before is no more.
so i'm going to try to revive it, because i can't quit, and i know i'm not alone. maybe we can pull off something cool.

+ i really liked the lyrics on this one. i sound like a broken record writing my music notes, but i'm glad i can appreciate them now. - the background vocals and harmonies could be done much better... + except for the 'back to the history, remember i was born' line, which turned out really great. that's not just chillin' in the instrumental! - im less fond of some of the rhymes i used for the breakdown of vocaloid songs in second half of the song. i wish i'd had the time to mix in more references in a better way for english listeners.

+ i really loved singing this one. - the mix is a little odd... + but i do think the background vocals make up for a lot of that. + the vocals over the instrumental break are nice and give space to the instruments! + plus they've got a nice effect to them. this is about where i solidified how to get a sound to come from a certain place when i was mixing. it was present before, but not as intentionally as when i moved into the BELLE covers, which were right before this cover.

─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
this is my english version of gales of song, with completely original lyrics save for the titular "gales of song" line i wanted to keep as a homage to kylie. i love both original versions but i had started writing my own moment i heard the japanese trailer. i decided to finish them anyway, because i wanted to keep trying my hand at writing english covers of japanese songs.
somehow releasing this makes me very shaky. but i hope it brings you some comfort, or at least a friend in the dark. may the gales of song guide you.
again, the art is from the film and concept art for it.
in this project, i wrote English lyrics that suited the Japanese ones to the best of my ability, then recorded those and combined them with the instrumental. i also did the basic animation for the video.
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
music journey notes!
+ i really still love these lyrics. i love both versions but i'm happy with the one i did. - still distorting though :( - and the mix is still questionable here. not an issue of instrumental in either case. + all in all, i still am happy with it though, and this was my original goal before the cover of the original version.

my cover of Gales of Song, from the incredible Studio Chizu film BELLE, or 竜とそばかすの姫. the original was written by Ludvig Forssell and Kaho Nakamura. you can find more about the film below.
this cover wouldn't have been possible without two other channels: @Flyingraijin2013 and Gabby Gang. EDKUN is responsible for the lovely instrumental, while Gabriella was the only reason I was able to bring myself to sing. seeing someone singing so confidently and being just INTO it the entire time reminded me why i'm doing this, and gave me the strength to actually try my best.
so please, please check out Gabby and listen to EDKUN's instrumental below.
the art is official concept art from the film, along with stills from it for the video.

- the recording quality!! why!! - or maybe i just didn't eq it properly... - either way, there's distortion and other issues throughout + the vocals themselves are really nice though + the emotion is exactly what i hoped to be able to pull through from singing to recording to mixing, so i'm happy enough!

+ really liking the lyrics for this one, even now. i worked hard to make them something i'd enjoy singing, and they're not bad. + the vocoder harmonies are very cool and spooky. - high notes are not well hit unfortunately :( - the mix in general is spotty, and i wish i'd done better with volume control. - not fond of having to use my head/high voice in the latter part of the song during the chorus.

─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
for zoey, who played the beginner's guide for a group of us and changed my world as a result. never has a song seemed so simple on first listen and so complex after playing a video game. there is simply nothing i can say.
this is a cover of "turn back", the credits song for the beginner's guide, a game made by Davey Wreden. it was originally by Halina Heron and Ryan Roth along with Davey. if you've never heard of the game before, i cannot recommend it enough; even watching a playthrough is an incredibly powerful experience. there are links below to the musicians and to the game.
+ a stellar track to try to figure out the right tone for. - not sure if i even got the right meaning. + the mixing is really well done, probably because i made the instrumental for this one and was able to accommodate from both the vocals and instrumentals. + reverb is pretty glassy in my opinion. - i wish i'd chosen a better image, though. i think this was a picture i took of a streetlight near a grocery store, if i'm remembering correctly.

although many of the works on this channel are covers, i still put around 40+ hours into each between singing, recording takes, checking the recorded takes, organizing artwork and editing it to video, then uploading and organizing there. the hours go up dramatically if i'm writing lyrics or an entire fan composition, and my more recent works are close to 60-100 hours worth of work each.
i'm the only one running both this and my artist channel, as well, so any support -- especially helping to get the word out -- is massively appreciated!!!
i don't have a ton here! except that the piano couldve been a bit better. this is just a simple vent song with a positive spin.

my cover of Good Riddance, a song from the hit game HADES by Supergiant games. you can find it and news on the sequel on their website below!
the song itself is again composed by the wonderful Darren Korb, originally performed by the equally-spectacular Ashley Barrett. their socials/websites are at the links below!
the art is official art from the game of Orpheus and Eurydice, over a background of Elysium. i can't confirm it, but i'd assume the art was done by or directed by Jen Zee, who can be found at the socials below!
in this project, i recorded and mixed my vocals with the instrumental, combined the images into a video, then combined them all here!

a cover of the ever-poignant Weight of the World, a song from Nier: Automata that also appears in the Final Fantasy series. the original composition is by Keiichi Okabe, and can be found on the soundtrack for the game below.
the background vocals are from people who responded to the call on my community channel to join in! their credits and links, if they have them, are below.
thank you to each of you for helping me with this! it wouldn't be the same without you.
in this song, i blended together the lyrics in Japanese with those from Emi Evans' Chaos Language version, along with a slightly-altered English version. i also mixed together the full breadth of vocals after recording my own, and combined them with the instrumental.
the art is official art from Nier: Automata, presumably by Koda Kazuma, the concept artist for the game.

i'm going to paste this and pin it in the comments, too, but this particular song relates to depression, and if you're empathizing with it, i really recommend you reach out to someone! if you don't have a friend or a therapist you can count on, share your worries here and i'll talk with you.
you are not alone. i know everything is crazy right now, but we can get through this.
this song is originally by scop featuring hatsune miku. the official release and scop's official channel can be found below.
+ this was so hard to sing!!! - i probably messed up a lot of lines but... + i also cross checked the lyrics constantly, so the work put in was definitely more than usual. + the high notes go from good to bad and back again, but the ending ones impress me a lot. + a really nice vent song. i mixed this much later in time than i'd recorded it, so i was happy my vocals still held up.

+ first official release on an album. and it's for homestuck? dang. + i like the lack of lyrics. i pulled back here to focus on production and i enjoyed that aspect a lot. - the theme i felt from the beginning ended up a bit lost, but i think it lent itself better to storytelling that way, somehow. either way, i regret the loss of that idea. + really happy with the vocoders thanks to Clark Powell's help on mastering the album. i still use their advice to this day. - didn't finish the remix as of writing this, which is a shame.

besides the vocals for the cover, i also worked on mixing the video together from animation pieces i had carefully crafted. you can download a still version of the background at the link below!
+ the low voice finally came into play here! thank goodness! + the big high note is on pitch!!! enough!!! - it sounds squeaky to me somehow!!! + lots of issues when i was recording with the volume going back and forth. i didn't get that figured out until very recently, so it's gonna be a common issue. - why why why glitch effects in video??? + the lil weed process guys are adorable. i'm still happy with them, even though this art took me hours (days honestly) longer than it should have.

my love letter to homestuck is finally complete!!!! it isn't as perfect as i wanted it to be, but it has my heart in it, and that's really all i could ask for. i've never animated before so this was a really interesting challenge.
i'm going to write something more flowery soon(tm) after i've slept (ur friend horizon has been running leslie knope sleeping hours lately) but i really have to say a huge thank you to every single listener, every person who posted in the homestuck tags over the years, every team member, every professional classpector, and The Huss himself --
thank you. you showed me the path to my future and gave me a hell of a lot of hope and heartbreak with it. i wouldn't have it any other way.

─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
this is my re-recorded, remastered, and updated version of the lyricover i made years ago of the same song, originally by Clark Powell.
known then as Plazmataz, they went on to write incredible work, and they're now making pop music under the title After-Party Animal.
the original Three in the Morning is from Homestuck, specifically the Midnight Crew: Drawing Dead album, which is combined with Vol 1-4 on the Homestuck bandcamp page. both links are below.
in this version, i wrote the lyrics myself, along with the melody, and then combined them with the original after recording. i also created the artwork in the video myself, which is available below.

- i couldn't decide what lyrics to sing since they're so misheard and there are conflicting sources online! + so i sang a bunch of them! - this could've had much better eq, and i could've given it a few more practice runs for better effect. + the adjustment of the last of the song, in terms of volume mixing, is actually really impressive - which makes the rest of the song a bit lackluster to me :(

this is a cover of the last segment of 'the island', from the decemberists' album 'the crane wife'.
colin meloy is the lead singer of the decemberists and i admire him a lot. his songwriting is an a++++ in my book. if you liked this i highly recommend listening to a few of the albums; they are very very very good!!!!!!!!!
my favorite albums are probably 'castaways and cutouts' and 'the hazards of love' but literally all of them are amazing
i pitched down this instrumental one semitone to make it fit my range a bit better, considering i sang it an octave higher than mister meloy
so here's my first cover of a slightly-mainstream thing. thank you to everyone who bears with me as i do a really funky dance over a billion different genres and languages. i cant STOP
:old notes end.
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
you can find the original album on various platforms, but here are a few links for you!
i believe the artwork here is by Carson Ellis, as i was looking for an adjacent piece of official art to use in the video. her website is below, and she's done all the art for The Decemberists' albums.
- i really must have switched mics at some point after working on the Homestuck lyricovers. or maybe it was just better mixing in some of those. + the vocals, however, are really hellbent on making me sad, even though i sang them. they're really poignant. - i sent this to a friend of mine after i was done and he asked "why are you yelling?" so there's that opinion + i personally like the yelly bits, especially when they wear out into the higher voice! - movin back and forth near the mic... i felt it too much :')
