Flanger MooseFinally, here's the full release of my Solaria demo, "Our Universe". Thank you Eclipsed Sounds for the opportunity to present such an amazing voicebank!
This video has been several months in the making, irarugii and I have worked very hard on it. From the start, I knew I wanted to make this something special. I've met so many amazing people these last few years and I'm so grateful! It was especially inspiring seeing everyone come together to help Solaria's crowdfunding campaign cross the finish line. What the community has accomplished here is nothing short of amazing!
So to everybody in the vocal synth community, this is for you.
Our Universe feat. Solaria (Full Version)Flanger Moose2022-01-01 | Finally, here's the full release of my Solaria demo, "Our Universe". Thank you Eclipsed Sounds for the opportunity to present such an amazing voicebank!
This video has been several months in the making, irarugii and I have worked very hard on it. From the start, I knew I wanted to make this something special.

What the community has accomplished here is nothing short of amazing!
So to everybody in the vocal synth community, this is for you.
One of my favorite aspects of Vocaloid/vocal synth music is the ability to express feelings through story and characters. Mine and Ellie's experiences may not be an exact one-to-one, but these complicated feelings of questioning who really cares about you, of just wanting to belong when it feels like no one wants you around...
Lyrics: Was the day I opened my eyes The day your dreams came true Or was it the day they died? For my sake you put on a smile Gave me all that I need But it was bleeding you dry
I can still remember the rain On the day I ran away You couldn't hear the door Over the shouting There's no doubting You were better off before All the tears I have left to shed Are in a note beside my bed It's for the best
If you can hear me I’ll be okay And I hope that it matters to you in some way I never meant to let you down I wanted you to be so proud But my head was in the clouds (My head was in the clouds) If you can hear me I want you to know That your little dreamer is never letting go And if you’re not coming with me Then I guess c’est la vie But I cannot deny the horizon Looks kinda lonely
Every now and then I wonder Are you happier now That I’m no longer around To hold you back Still I hold onto that hope That the smile You gave me as a child Was something real
In time my reflection will heal But until that day, oh I still feel Like I don’t belong here I’ll disappear I’ll disappear away from you
If you can hear me I’ll be okay And I hope that it matters to you in some way I never meant to let you down I wanted you to be so proud But my head was in the clouds (My head was in the clouds) If you can hear me I want you to know That your little dreamer is never letting go And if you’re not coming with me Then I guess c’est la vie But I cannot deny the horizon Looks kinda lonely
(C’est la vie, c’est la vie, c’est la vie, c’est la vie) But I cannot deny the horizon Looks kinda lonely (C’est la vie, c’est la vie, c’est la vie, c’est la vie) But I cannot deny the horizon Looks kinda lonely (C’est la vie, c’est la vie, c’est la vie, c’est la vie) But I cannot deny the horizon Looks kinda lonely (C’est la vie, c’est la vie, c’est la vie, c’est la vie) But I cannot deny the horizon Looks kinda lonely
#synthesizerv #eleanorforte #synthvstill dream (feat. Kasane Teto)[Original Song]Flanger Moose2024-04-10 | This is definitely one of my favorites lyrically, so far. Really captures that sense of wanting to do big things but feeling like you're just not up for it.
Lyrics: All my ambition is stuck inside my throat again Got nowhere else to go but the gutters in my head I think my mindset could use a reset But when I try to rewire it sets my nerves on fire (I let my soul expire)
I don't wanna be A slave to apathy But goddamn it's just so addictive (I'm running out of fucks to give) Even still I dream But it bleeds my self-esteem So they lie still in the corner On the border of life and death Stop and take one last breath And just maybe, just maybe I’ll set it motion Tomorrow
Threw my bones in the grinder again today “It’s just what you gotta do to get by” or so they say Tell myself that the broken screen Gives my heart everything I need But can I really feel complete With a life that's stuck on repeat (Repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat)
I don't wanna be A slave to apathy But goddamn it's just so addictive (I'm running out of fucks to give) Even still I dream But it bleeds my self-esteem So they lie still in the corner On the border of life and death Stop and take one last breath And just maybe, just maybe I’ll set it motion Tomorrow
Head heavy but my brain won’t let me rest my eyes Godspeed to the dreamers who chase those highest highs If I were able to live such a fable would it be enough Would ambition overload, implode when the going gets too rough It’s just never enough
I don't wanna be A slave to apathy But goddamn it's just so addictive (I'm running out of fucks to give) Even still I dream But it bleeds my self-esteem So they lie still in the corner On the border of life and death Stop and take one last breath And just maybe, just maybe And just maybe, just maybe And just maybe, just maybe I’ll set it motion Tomorrow
#synthesizerv #kasaneteto #重音テトsandpaper in my ears (feat. Solaria)[Original Song]Flanger Moose2024-02-20 | This is easily the most fun I've had writing songs in a loooooong time, something about making pop punk music is just so cathartic.
Lyrics: Your words are sandpaper in my ears Everything you want, everything you fear It's not my problem I'm not compensation for your wasted years Your words are sandpaper in my ears
You're losing at the game of life Cause you're wasting so much time On a fantasy, and my reality Is where you gotta be I know what’s best, trust me
Your future’s going down the drain And you've only got yourself to blame Don't wanna be a stain On the family name As if it isn't a mess without me
Conversations are such a chore One foot is already out the door So get out of my way I got nothing to say to you I can’t take your shit anymore
Your words are sandpaper in my ears Everything you want, everything you fear It's not my problem I'm not compensation for your wasted years Your words are sandpaper in my ears
Every day we talk is just so tense Cause your head is just so fucking dense Well so is yours It’s a family curse Talking to another brick wall
Your obsession with your legacy It just don’t mean to shit to me My life’s on loan Cause you blew your own on me But your strings are snapping
Conversations are such a chore One foot is already out the door So get out of my way I got nothing to say to you I can’t take your shit anymore
Your words are sandpaper in my ears Everything you want, everything you fear It's not my problem I'm not compensation for your wasted years Your words are sandpaper in my ears
(When are you going to get a real job? When are you gonna get married? When are you gonna have kids? Your cousin already has three What am I supposed to tell the rest of the family? When are you gonna get your life together? Do me a favor and just shut up)
Face the fact that I’m not you What the hell you gonna do? Mold me, shape me, til I’m perfect Trust me it’s not fucking worth it Disappointed? I don’t care Got no head space left to spare For your drama or your sass Your beliefs can kiss my ass
Your words are sandpaper in my ears Everything you want, everything you fear It's not my problem I'm not compensation for your wasted years Your words are sandpaper in my ears
Your words are sandpaper in my ears Everything you want, everything you fear It's not my problem I'm not compensation for your wasted years Your words are sandpaper in my ears

Lyrics: Why am I so afraid Just to turn a single page It's hard to be an open book Cause I'm scared to let you look And see you turn away
They say everyone has a secret And I don’t how much longer I can keep it to myself Wish I could be somebody else
Soon it’ll all be plain to see Would you run and hide If you ever saw my other me
My other me
I don't mean to shut you out I just can't shake the senseless doubt Faith's a narrow two way road And I'm ready to implode Unless you hear me out
The disguise I wear is suffocating And I feel like I've been waiting My whole life to let you know A side that I rarely get to show
Soon it’ll all be plain to see Would you run and hide If you ever saw my other me
Take my hand into a brand new chapter Is it so wrong to wish for For my own happily ever after But first I have to let you through the door
So before I turn the key Promise me That you won't run and hide When you finally see my other me
My other me
Would you run and hide If you ever saw my other meThe Same Tomorrow (feat. IA)[Rock Version]Flanger Moose2023-06-25 | I was planning on the rock version of "Our Universe" to just be a one off, but it's kinda fun going back to my old songs and rearranging them. These songs especially mean a lot to me, so I've compiled them into a new EP! Hope you enjoy!

Lyrics: When the mountain has been conquered And you look from high above Held the sky inside your hand Was it everything that you've dreamed of
And you never want this moment to end But the horizon steals the sun away again
I'm falling faster To the same tomorrow I thought I'd left behind Is it just my place To not be satisfied In where I stand And now again I’m feeling Stranded in my skin Back to the beginning Once again
Did you think all your problems would just disappear Your mind still gives you plenty It’s not that you regret But so many pages are still empty
You knew deep inside That you had to take the dive Cause it was the only way You knew to feel alive
But you had to come up for air eventually You bargain just to hold onto that sweetest memory
I'm falling faster To the same tomorrow I thought I'd left behind Is it just my place To not be satisfied In where I stand And now again I’m feeling Stranded in my skin Back to the beginning Once againOur Universe feat. SOLARIA (Rock Version)Flanger Moose2023-04-15 | "You're not alone, this is your home..." My Avannaversary song felt like a goodbye, and I was genuinely ready to throw in the towel. But nah. I'm not going anywhere. :)

IA)[Human/Vocal Synth duet]Flanger Moose2021-11-05 | This one was difficult to approach because it was way more personal than usual. All these years spent working towards one goal, and now that goal has been fulfilled. So what do I do now? And how on earth do I still feel just as unsure of myself as before? It's hard to keep those invasive thoughts away.

#IAオリジナル曲 #iaenglish #cevio【Hatsune Miku V4X English】 Universal Language 【14th Anniversary Remake】Flanger Moose2021-08-30 | Five years ago I released my very first original song that I wrote with Hatsune Miku, "Universal Language". To this day, this song still embodies everything that I love about Vocaloid. The joy of people coming together through art and music, and the sense of community.
Since then so much has happened. I released two albums, filmed a music video in my hometown, won the Miku Expo 2021 Song Contest with Vault Kid, reached 1,000 subscribers on Youtube, and made so many amazing new friends. With all of this, I feel it's important to remember where I came from. So for Miku's Anniversary this year I wanted to go back to where it all began. Thank you everyone for being with me on this journey.
Lyrics: I hear the sound And wonder how I could be set free By a soothing melody
A magical signal Transmitted from the heart Harmonious contact Where inspiration starts
The lines that divide us Will soon be behind us The lines that divide us Will soon be behind
Under the same stars, we are dreaming To the same song, hearts are beating Under the same sun, souls are burning Yearning for something real, Makes us feel that we're not on our own
Though strangers to each others' eyes Disparate souls become aligned Tuned to the same emotional frequency
United by the rhythm Setting spirits in motion An invisible connection only we can see
The lines that divide us Will soon be behind us The lines that divide us Will soon be behind
Under the same stars, we are dreaming To the same song, hearts are beating Under the same sun, souls are burning Yearning for something real, Makes us feel we're not on our own
As we come together Making waves in a sea of light If just for a moment Everything feels right
As we come together Making waves in a sea of light If just for a moment Everything feels right
Under the same stars, we are dreaming To the same song, hearts are beating Under the same sun, souls are burning With the same cry, we are calling
The lines that divide us Are so far behind us The lines that divide us Are so far behind us
The lines that divide us Are so far behind us The lines that divide us Are so far behind us
The lines that divide us Are so far behind us【Hatsune Miku V4X English】 Beneath The Virtual Sky 【Collab w/ Vault Kid】Flanger Moose2021-08-23 | Kind of a spiritual successor to "Thousand Little Voices". Life may be a struggle sometimes, even with those little victories. Just know that whatever you're going through, whatever you're trying to accomplish, you'll get to where you need to be in time if you keep moving forward.
Lyrics: Been so long since I felt a connection Cause I always feel like the exception Whenever they tell me I’m who I’m meant to be So save me your story It’s all a cliche
I ain’t looking for a life that’s flawless All I really want is something honest It’s hard to begin With the doubt bottled in Silver lining is thinning I’m beginning to believe
That I could stand to be less naive Just what am I trying to achieve Lost in a fable Caught up in these labels Pulling like gravity Back to reality I won’t become a tragedy
Beneath the virtual sky I can hear you call From the colossal heights I’m afraid to fall So I try and I try But I just cannot find a way Back to you Beneath the virtual sky Your voice will see me through
Trap myself inside the same old pattern It’s like nothing I do even matters A constant obsession Gives me the impression That all of my progress Has all been in vain
Looking for a way to break the cycle Just to keep the dream from being stifled Still I fall back On the things that I lack Any time I lose track Of the ways in which I have grown
You’d think that I would already know Yet still I’ve so far left to go Losing my patience With how long I’m chasing The same old stars all day Still they’re so far away Promise you won’t lead me astray
Beneath the virtual sky I can hear you call From the colossal heights I’m afraid to fall So I try and I try But I just cannot find a way Back to you Beneath the virtual sky Your voice will see me through
Beneath the virtual sky I can hear you call From the colossal heights I’m afraid to fall So I try and I try I can almost see daylight So close in view Beneath the virtual sky Your voice will see me through
Beneath the virtual sky I can hear you call From the colossal heights I’m afraid to fall So I try and I try I can almost see daylight So close in view Beneath the virtual sky Your voice will see me through【Hatsune Miku V4X English】 Colors 【Original Song】Flanger Moose2021-08-16 | I don't know what to say here haha. I just really wanted to make something super upbeat and happy. I hope this song can brighten your day.
Lyrics: Day by day we clutch our silver linings I’d rather swim in radiant yellow sunbeams As I try to drift away Into serene violet haze The gray bleeds through the cracks To drain my pastel dreams
Breathe and take it slow A silver thread points to tomorrow
I see the colors once again And I start to remember when They painted my first symphony Across the sky the colors sing I feel my spirit taking wing Along the rainbow melody So when I’m feeling down I recall I see the colors and remember That the world is beautiful after all
I watch the green melt from the trees Jealous of the leaves swept up in the breeze Carried oh so far away The red fire starts to lose its glow The dark makes me feel I’m all alone Til I hear you say (There’s still so much left to see)
When I’m here with you My sky shines a brighter blue
I see the colors once again And I start to remember when They painted my first symphony Across the sky the colors sing I feel my spirit taking wing Along the rainbow melody So when I’m feeling down I recall I see the colors and remember That the world is beautiful after all
What is this feeling Am I still dreaming It feels too good to be true I open my eyes And start to realize Today is still untold The future’s worth its weight in gold
I see the colors once again And I start to remember when They painted my first symphony Across the sky the colors sing I feel my spirit taking wing Along the rainbow melody So when I’m feeling down I recall I see the colors and remember That the world is beautiful after all【Hatsune Miku V4X English】 Digital Heart 【Original Song】Flanger Moose2021-08-09 | This was my solo entry to the Miku Expo Online 2021 Song Contest. My original intent was to make something in a similar vein to my favorite early Vocaloid songs, talking about how it doesn't matter that Miku isn't real because the emotions we put in her are real. In retrospect, I'm glad "Thousand Little Voices" won instead cause it felt good to share that victory with Vault Kid. I still really enjoy the energy of this track though.
Lyrics: The artificial binary Synthetic or real Got to resist the polarity To find a place to heal They say there’s nothing genuine I’m just fiction A cybernated form With their outdated code They could never know Let’s redesign the norm
Whenever yours breaks in two My digital heart will beat for you No matter what you’re going through My digital heart will beat for you My digital heart will beat for you
The artificial binary Human or machine Void of identity A vessel on a screen If you would relate Let your meaning resonate Through me For all the world to see
Whenever yours breaks in two (Yours breaks in two) My digital heart will beat for you (My digital heart will beat for) (My digital heart will beat for you) No matter what you’re going through My digital heart will beat for you (My digital heart will beat for) (My digital heart will beat for you) My digital heart will beat for you
My digital heart will beat for My digital heart will beat for you【Hatsune Miku V4X English】 Re:Program 【Original Song】Flanger Moose2021-08-02 | This was originally my entry to the Miku Expo 2019 Song Contest. The lyrics hit pretty hard this time around cause it was during a time where I really struggled with my self confidence, especially in my music. I just desperately wanted something to work out in my life. And now here I am post-Miku Expo and I'm feeling pretty good about things. I'm actually really excited about what's to come!
Lyrics: Suspended in the crowded silence of my mind Wishing for once just to be blind to the past Every time the mirror cracks I try to hide away Wondering how long can this last
Through all the pain and fear Somehow I’m still here There’s no looking back If I hope to stay on track Break out of this dreary atmosphere
I wanna fly, fly away, so far away And chase the celestial starlight Where I can't feel gravity Pulling me away Away from the soaring heights Of my wildest dreams Cause life is never what it seems I wanna fly, fly away, so far away And know that everything will be alright
Like a marionette on strings that cling too tight While the ground beneath me crumbles a little more everyday Sink into the bed again, a refuge from my tangled head Wishing that I could just run away
Through all the pain and fear Somehow I’m still here There’s no looking back If I hope to stay on track Break out of this dreary atmosphere
I wanna fly, fly away, so far away And chase the celestial starlight Where I can't feel gravity Pulling me away Away from the soaring heights Of my wildest dreams Cause life is never what it seems I wanna fly, fly away, so far away And know that everything will be alright
Everything will be alright Everything will be alrightMousey in the Bathroom (Flanger Moose Remix)Flanger Moose2021-03-22 | Out of all of my VTuber remixes, this was one of the most fun to make, even if adjusting the audio to match the new tempo was a pain haha. Also, I love the irony of putting kinda depressing lyrics to really upbeat music. Somehow, I think it just works here lol
If by any chance Ironmouse sees this, you're awesome and a real trooper. To wake up everyday wanting to spread joy and positivity in spite of the shitty hand life dealt you is so wonderful and inspiring! Keep at it, Mousey!
#vtuber #vshojo #ironmouseBlegh (Flanger Moose Remix)[REUPLOAD]Flanger Moose2021-03-18 | Reuploading because the video quality of the first upload was way worse than I thought, so hopefully this is a little more watchable. Oops.
#vtuber #VShojo #nyannersHome by Silvervale (Flanger Moose Remix)Flanger Moose2021-02-25 | I was incredibly surprised to see Silvervale upload an original song, and I also didn't expect it to be so freaking beautiful! It's not often a song speaks to me in such a way that I feel compelled to make something from it, but when it does you know that it's something truly special.
On the off chance that Silver sees this I just want to say, you make so many peoples' days brighter with your work. Keep doing what you're doing! I'd love to hear more original songs from you!
#vtuber #vshojo #silvervale【Hatsune Miku V4X English】 As We Are by EmpathP 【Flanger Moose Remix】Flanger Moose2020-12-30 | Special thanks to Aki Glancy for letting me remix her absolutely gorgeous song! This one in particular brought back fond memories of when I first discovered Vocaloid and ignited the spark within me to make music. Hope you enjoy! :)
Lyrics: I closed my eyes And fell asleep As the world passed me by I drifted so deep When in the dreaming I was struck by a lonely sound (a lonely sound) You were the tune, I was voice that echoed down Now hand in hand, having come so far With you I’ll stand, as we are
So, if you ask me once again Is it the same as it was then? Though seasons come and go I want you to know I love you more Than ever before
I reached behind Clung to the song That you promised was mine We’d waited so long When on the journey I was caught in a web of doubt (a web of doubt) You wrote the words, I had the voice to send them out Now hand in hand, having come so far With you I’ll stand, as we are
So, if you ask me once again Is it the same as it was then? Though seasons come and go I want you to know I love you more Than ever before
So, won’t you tell me once again It’s all the same as it was then The years may come and go But I’ll always know You love me more Than ever before
Though seasons come and go I hope that you know I'll love you more
Lyrics: Stuck again Inside your paradoxical Toxic paradigm
So persistent On insisting That my existence is a crime
All of your words are pollution You got no solution Head full of delusion And lies you hold so true
Treating me like I’m a villain You gotta be kiddin' Cause I’m on a mission To save the world from you
Cause you’re holding me down You’re holding me down You’re holding me down You’re holding me Holding me Holding me Holding me You can’t stop us this time
I see you tryin' to pull a fast one Hoping to be the last one standing Demanding compliance Trying to silence Every other voice in the crowd Drown out our cries and tie us down While your grip is slipping On your crown
Desperately fabricating Your own narrative Control is imperative Truth against you is irrelevant But we don’t break or bend To your petty intention Craving attention Through your transparent deception
Quit pretending you’re the protagonist Sadistic narcissist Cause your influence Is washing away You oughta fix Your fixation on yesterday Your backwards state of mind Has overstayed it’s time, okay
We look to the horizon While you plot our demise And try to disguise Your lies as some holy crusade You’ve played too long And now you’ve gone and dulled your blade Now it’s only a matter of time So hurry up and fade away
You're holding me down You're holding me down

Calling out to me Show me what I want to see
Intoxicated on a fantasy Seeking serenity I am apparently A little out of harmony With your reality Vanishing, vanishing
Intoxicated on a fantasy Seeking serenity I am apparently A little out of harmony With your reality Vanishing, vanishing

#iaenglishc #cevio #mikumikudance【Daina】 I Wont Forget You 【Original Song】Flanger Moose2020-11-21 | Happy 5th Anniversary Daina and Dex! So these next couple songs off the album are much lighter on lyrics with more of an emphasis on the music itself. Basically something that you just vibe to. Figured it would be a good way to experiment with a Vocaloid I've never used before. Hope you enjoy! :D
Lyrics: Memory fades into the sun Sayonara Helplessly the mind becomes undone
As we move onto different planes Of our existence We try so hard to cling to what remains
Images flash and then decay Into the distance Desperately I wish for you to stay
Although we knew this day would come I’m not quite ready Words escape me now I just feel numb
I won’t forget you I won’t forget you I won’t forget you
I won’t forget you I won’t forget you I won’t forget you
Memory fades into the sun Sayonara Helplessly the mind becomes undone
Although we knew this day would come I’m not quite ready Words escape me now I just feel numb
I won’t forget you I won’t forget you I won’t forget you【Ruby】 Glitched 【Original Song】Flanger Moose2020-11-14 | This one was interesting to make. I've never tried to make a Vocaloid speak before, let alone tune an entire back and forth argument. Glad I gave it a try, but I'll likely never do it again haha.
2nd Album "Sim You Later" coming December 5th, 2020 to everywhere music is sold!
Lyrics: (One, two, ready, go)
Infection scatters through the circuits In your shattered mind Converting all your dreams to nightmares That you can’t rewind Push all the buttons And now suddenly you can’t see straight Too late Locked you in a stalemate
There is no remedy The memory’s corrupted now Call me a plague It’s all a game to me I’ll show you how Cause I hold all the cards Your guard has crumbled to the ground Ready for the next round
So why am I afraid to close my eyes Just let me drift to nowhere Wake up and not feel paralyzed Why do you throw my troubles back at me It’s bad enough without you Just go away and let me be Just let me be
(Yeah right)
I work behind the scenes To find whatever I can use To cause some chaos Cause I love to see somebody lose You don’t see me But I see every single inch of you Tell me what you gonna do
Shut down your system Through the schism in your broken head Lost in denial Your survival’s on a razor’s edge Got the advantage And the damage cannot be undone (You’re done) Now there’s nowhere left to run
So why am I afraid to close my eyes Just let me drift to nowhere Wake up and not feel paralyzed Why do you throw my troubles back at me It’s bad enough without you Just go away and let me be Just let me be
(Knock knock, sleepy head) (No, not now) (Did you miss me? I missed you, you know) (Please, go away) (Why do you keep pretending?) (Just stop) (I’m the only one who hears you) (No, you’re wrong) (No one really cares about you) (Stop it, please) (You’ll never be good enough) (I’m not listening) (You already know that) (Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up) (And it’s all your fault) (Just shut up!)
So why am I afraid to close my eyes Just let me drift to nowhere Wake up and not feel paralyzed Why do you throw my troubles back at me It’s bad enough without you Just go away and let me be Just let me be Just let me be【IA English C & Daina】 Puppeteer 【Original Song】Flanger Moose2020-11-07 | At long last it is time to begin unveiling my second album! I feel SO good about this one, things felt way smoother this time around and the songs just came together one after the other. I can't wait to show you what's next! :D
2nd Album "Sim You Later" coming December 5th, 2020 to everywhere music is sold!
Lyrics: Pre-ordained by your hand To fit into this role I will trust in your guidance So I may be made whole Fill the spaces between With your wisdom and grace I will gladly wear the smile You’ve painted on my face
This doesn’t feel right Whenever I recite The lines you put into my head You say this is me But a voice disagrees And warns maybe that I’ve been misled
Dance for me Dance for me A cold silhouette Of a marionette Is that my own shadow Dance for me Dance for me I’m starting to see The strings holding me And I don’t know where to go Dance for me Dance for me I gave you my trust I just can’t adjust Is everything I know a lie Dance for me Dance for me The chains that we built Out of my own guilt Shackle my eyes
Thrown back into the box When I step out of line You assure me that this Is all according to design Claiming no complication Cause you just want what’s best Every time you put my constitution To the test
This doesn’t feel right Whenever I recite The words you mime onto my lips And now I’m aware There’s deceit in the air So you desperately tighten your grip
Dance for me Dance for me A cold silhouette Of a marionette Is that my own shadow Dance for me Dance for me I’m starting to see The strings holding me And I don’t know where to go Dance for me Dance for me I gave you my trust I just can’t adjust Is everything I know a lie Dance for me Dance for me The chains that we built Out of my own guilt Shackle my eyes
Dance for me Dance for me A cold silhouette Of a marionette Is that my own shadow Dance for me Dance for me I’m starting to see The strings holding me And I don’t know where to go Dance for me Dance for me I gave you my trust I just can’t adjust Is everything I know a lie Dance for me Dance for me The chains that we built Out of my own guilt Shackle my eyes
Dance for me Dance for me
Dance for me Dance for me
Dance for me Dance for me
Dance for me Dance for meThank you for 900 Subscribers!Flanger Moose2020-10-19 | Hi. I’m Flanger Moose and I want to thank you all for helping me reach 900 subscribers! Now, I know I don’t normally do these kinds of videos because you know, most of you are just here for the music. You’re not here to listen to me talk your ears off about stuff when you’ve got other things to do.
But I wanted to make this video because this was the first milestone following a spike in my depression earlier this year. See, I want so badly to make music my career, but every time I would look at the numbers I would get sad and it would drain my desire to create because I was nowhere near where I wanted to be. I would think to myself, “What am I doing wrong? Am I just not good enough? What am I even doing?” I tried to challenge myself to make one song a month this year, but it felt so forced. I wasn’t feeling good about the songs I was making and I just had zero motivation to put anything up on Youtube.
Then I started thinking about things differently. It dawned on me that even if Youtube worked properly, all of my music could have still been easily lost to the void. Doomed to never get more than single digit obligation views from IRL friends and family. But instead, I have 900 subscribers.
Sure, 900 may be “small” by Youtube standards. But then you remember that each subscriber is a human being. A human being that thought, “Hey, I like what this guy’s doing and I want to see what he does next.” I mean, just imagine for a second a room large enough to hold 900 people. That’s a big freaking room!
And I know, it’s so cliché to be all, “Oh, just look at the glass as half full and appreciate what you have.” But it’s the truth. It’s the only way to look at this kind of thing in a way that’s healthy. To think not about how far I have left to go, but how far I’ve already come.
Since then I’ve felt like I’m on fire with my upcoming album, “Sim You Later”. As of now 9 out of 10 songs are finished. And I gotta say, these are hands down some of the best songs I’ve ever made! I’m serious, you guys have heard NOTHING yet! I cannot WAIT for all of you to hear these songs and I cannot wait to publish this album!
And it’s all because of every single one of you who have stuck by my side, all of you who have supported and encouraged me, who told me how much my music means to you. At the end of the day, all I really want is to leave an impact, to make something worth remembering. To make something that can inspire others and lift them up when they’re having a bad day. All I really want is to do something that matters. And then I realize, I’ve already done that.
So anyway, that’s all I wanted to say. Hope you’ll check out my new album in December. Bandcamp is the best way to buy my music, but it’ll also be on iTunes, Spotify and all the other things. I have a Patreon, but please don’t feel bad if you can’t pitch in. I know in times like these money can be tight, so please take care of yourselves first and foremost. If you want to help me in a way that doesn’t cost you anything, please share my music with your friends and click that bell button so you don’t miss anything. I know the whole “like, share, subscribe” spiel is kinda tacky, but us small producers need all the help we can get. The algorithm isn’t going to help us, but you can. Thank you so much for being with me on this journey, which I can safely say is far from over. Bye!
#subscribermilestone #milestone[Atpunk] In Your Thoughts (Flanger Moose Remix)Flanger Moose2020-05-17 | I've been a fan of Atpunk for a long time now. I'm always so excited when he uploads something new. But revisiting this song hit me on such a personal level. I feel like I constantly have to remind myself that yes, I am relevant. Lately I've been feeling down because I've been putting so much weight on external validation whether through views, likes, subscribers, etc. In the process I've taken those who do care for granted, and I'm sorry for that. The fact that any of you show up to watch my videos is a blessing that I will always be grateful for. Thank you Atpunk for inspiring me, and thank you to anyone watching for setting time aside for me! You're all amazing!
I'm honestly surprised how good the "One Song a Month" challenge is going so far and it's been amazing getting to meet new people to work with along the way! Even though my real life has been so turbulent and uncertain, and as much as I wish to be further than I am with my music as a career, I'm at least proud of my work and I can't wait to see what's next.
#IAオリジナル曲 #iaenglish #cevio【IA English C】Aphelion【Collab w/ The Fat Pianist】Flanger Moose2020-01-27 | Cutting it a bit close, but the first of my "one song a month" challenge is here! Sometimes collabs can be a little challenging because it feels like we're on different wavelengths, but we ultimately made it work out just in time.
Lyrics: Programmed to put on a smile But there's nothing tactile in this exchange that we share I've been in this cold shell for a while And I don't know how to keep the cracks from growing
Wish I could feel like you, but I don't know what is real Wish I could reach your hand I'm tired of this facade, if I can modify the code I'll finally understand
Computer override Malfunction detected Resetting memory core System has been restored Hello, konnichiwa I am your Kawaii-Bot
How could this happen again Just as I came so close to breaking these chains Once again I'm forced to pretend Falling back on the automatic patterns locked inside my head
Wish I could feel like you, but I don't know what is real Wish I could reach your hand I'm tired of this facade, if I can modify the code I'll finally understand
Computer override Malfunction detected Resetting memory core System has been restored Hello, konnichiwa I am your Kawaii-Bot
So, the end of last year was pretty insane. I won't go into detail, but those of you who heard my song "Broken Sanctuary" know what I'm talking about. It's hard to know what to do after such a horrific tragedy, but for me it made me realize that I can't afford to waste anymore time. I have dreams that I want to make reality, so I quit one of my jobs to start pursuing music more seriously. I don't know if it's going to work out, so I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
Regardless, I am extremely proud of this video and I'm so happy to see all the hard work of so many incredible artists finally come together for what is easily the most ambitious thing I've ever organized and put together. I hope you enjoy!
Not gonna lie, with the exception of one other song this is the one I've been most excited to share. I just love the energy and Sentient Pulse's additions brought it to a whole new level. Hope you enjoy! :)
So, I don't expect this to be anyone's favorite song off the album, but I had some stuff I wanted to get off my chest. In some ways, this song is a spiritual successor to "Say What", or at least it was inspired by the same events. Also come to think of it, Luka seems to get most of the breakup songs, doesn't she?
Lyrics: Drifting souls crashing through the drama brewing From the hole inside of you The attention that you crave Draining my intentions falling into disarray
I tried so hard not to see the warning signs That maybe you and I can't seem to align I tried to tell myself that it's okay That maybe things will work another day
My remorse chains me to your every whim My clemency has run its course Broken pride forcing me to intervene Cause I can't hide away anymore
I tried so hard not to see the warning signs That maybe you and I can't seem to align I tried to tell myself that it's okay It seems I lost myself along the way
I thought that we were fine right at the start But somewhere down the line we fell apart I thought that you'd alleviate my fears Instead you gave me yours and left me here So now I have to let you go
At long last, after months and months I'm finally ready to unveil my very first album! I can't believe this is finally happening! :D Special thanks to Sentient Pulse for his mixing wizardry and to MedleyManiac for the amazing album cover! Go check them out!
Lyrics: When the lights go out, there's a quiet doubt inside spilling over from the past The last thing you recall are the walls slowly closing in
If you look inside surely you will find a way to open up your burning skies It's in your eyes, look beyond the lies of the world you know
Don't deny the rhythm inside of you, surrender You know that the music's a part of you, remember
Don't deny the rhythm inside of you, surrender You know that the music's a part of you, remember
When the lights go out, there's a quiet doubt inside spilling over from the past The last thing you recall are the walls slowly closing in
Don't deny the rhythm inside of you, surrender You know that the music's a part of you, remember
Don't deny the rhythm inside of you, surrender You know that the music's a part of you, remember
When the lights go out, there's a quiet doubt inside spilling over from the past The last thing you recall are the walls slowly closing in
If you look inside surely you will find a way to open up your burning skies It's in your eyes, look beyond the lies of the world you know
#IAオリジナル曲 #iaenglish #cevio #vocaloid【IA English C】Digital Love by Daft Punk【Remix】(FREE DOWNLOAD LINK IN DESCRIPTION)Flanger Moose2019-02-26 | This song means a lot to me, so I wanted to do something special. It's what introduced me to Daft Punk and began my head-first dive into electronic music, and my life has never been the same since! I have to admit I was a little nervous, taking an all time classic and trying to make something new out of it. But I'm pretty happy with how it came out and I hope you enjoy it too!
#IAオリジナル曲 #iaenglish #daftpunk #cevio【Ruby】With You【Collab w/ The Fat Pianist】Flanger Moose2019-02-20 | I'm still here! And I've reconnected with some old friends/high school classmates to broaden my horizons. It was a lot of fun writing lyrics for someone else's song for a change, and it gave me a chance to really experiment with Ruby in Vocaloid 5. I'm pretty happy with it.

Lyrics: Show 'em what you got Show 'em that you're not Gonna let them hold you down
Break out of the cage C'mon take the stage Make the dream come to life right now
Running circles again inside your head Looking for an escape from the life you've lead thus far A heart that burns, an inferno of desire You tell yourself, "Not today," cause you're feeling tired
Chance never knocks twice on your door If you really want it, what are you waiting for?
Show 'em what you got Show 'em that you're not Gonna let them hold you down
Break out of the cage C'mon take the stage Make the dream come to life right now
They say that you've gotta keep it to yourself You've gotta stay in line like everybody else They say that life in the spotlight is not for you They don't know what's inside, show em' what you can do
Chance never knocks twice on your door If you really want it, what are you waiting for?
Show 'em what you got Show 'em that you're not Gonna let them hold you down
Break out of the cage C'mon take the stage Make the dream come to life right now
Show 'em what you got Show 'em that you're not Gonna let them hold you down
Break out of the cage C'mon take the stage Make the dream come to life right now
#ia #iaenglish #イア #CeVIO【GUMI & Ruby】Say What【Original Song】Flanger Moose2018-07-01 | A little bit of background: So this year started off a little crazy for me. It was the first time I really had to cut someone out of my life for the sake of my own sanity. The ability to say "no" is so important in life and although I'm still not very good at it, I've definitely gotten better.
Also, I know I'm super late to the party, but Happy Birthday Gumi!
Lyrics: Words become a leash that tie me to you Just ignore the lines in the ground I drew We are sinking deeper Because you're my ego's keeper I can feel my head breaking in two
One side tries to hide Just to cleanse you from my mind
Say what you want Say what, what you wanna hear Otherwise I'm good as gone I might as well disappear
Underneath the weight of your fantasy Tie the blindfold tighter onto me Building fences with your tongue The promise you stuff in my lung I don't have any room to flee
It's so easy to surrender When you cut me with those eyes
Say what you want Say what, what you wanna hear Otherwise I'm good as gone I might as well disappear
Say what you want Say what, what you wanna hear Otherwise you fall apart And lure me back with tears
Once I close and lock the door I won't hear you anymore Once I close and lock the door I won't hear you anymore
Say what you want Say what, what you wanna hear Otherwise you fall apart And lure me back with tears
Say what you want Say what, what you wanna hear Otherwise I'm good as gone So watch as I disappearHatsune Miku Universal Language Official Music VideoFlanger Moose2017-11-28 | Super special thank you to The Medley for making this for me. This is even more incredible than I could have imagined! Also, another special thank you goes out to Tekamza for translating the lyrics for me. You're all the greatest!

And just when Gar is about to hit 50,000 subs too. :(
Finally broke in the new editing software! Now I can make actual music videos for my songs! YAY! My next Vocaloid song will come out in a couple months. (I'm hoping to have it all done in time for Miku's Birthday in August) In the meantime, here's my tribute to one of my all time favorite Youtubers, Garuku Bluemoon! Gar, I can hardly think of anyone else more deserving of this accomplishment than you. Congratulations!
