Production by Vane: twitter.com/rhythmfriend youtube.com/c/vanelilyMemories of a Better Time / Kasane Teto (Original Song Remaster)Pumpkin Head2025-01-16 | This has been sitting in my wips - 100% completed save for the PV - for about a year now. I kept putting off posting it because I thought I hadn't finished the song, but I had! So this could have come out a lot sooner lol.
I wrote this during a severe depressive episode that almost landed me in an inpatient facility, so it's a little weird to work on this again when my mental health is in a significantly better place. It was a lot of fun though!
This song is a fun one to me because when I first started writing it, my intention was to write a song that sounded how my brain felt. And then halfway through I learned that what my brain was feeling was psychosis. Which changed my relationship to this song but that's okay.
Special thank you to my dear friend Richter who fed me a lot of PV ideas that ended up in this video! This video would not be nearly as cool without his help. --
I had a lot of fun with this song and I'm happy with how it turned out! I think I've drawn Cedar more in the past two months than I have in the entire 3.5+ years he's existed as an OC LOL. I'm not the best at conveying plots through music, so if you have any questions feel free to send me an ask on Tumblr :]
My new year's resolution is to work on music more often so hopefully I will post more songs than normal this year! If I don't ... There's always 2025, LOL.

What the fuck!! I even gave it a cool PV. I'm getting a good grade in Vocaloid producing, something which is both normal to want and possible to achieve.
I'm really happy with how this came out so I hope you like it too :) It was so much fun to work on
I wanted to show some scrapped/unposted songs for fun, and then... before I knew it, the video was 50 minutes long. This is only songs I wrote in Studio One, too—I also have scrapped songs in LMMS (2016-17) and Mixcraft (2021-22).
I would love to hear if you guys have thoughts on any of these songs because making this video has made me want to fix up a lot of these but I'm indecisive :') So if there's one you like I'd love to know!
This video might be unlisted after a week or so, but if that's the case, I will put it in my "Vocaloid Originals" playlist so that you can still easily access it! I just get picky with how my page looks, so I like to only have songs visible in the video section...
(Also, I'm a little mean to myself in this video, but it's all silly, I respect these songs especially considering how young I was when I wrote them :P It's rare that I genuinely dislike songs of mine nowadays, even the older ones...)
One last random note but I think it's really funny that I called myself "18 year old me" in Unfrequented Identity because I was literally 16 when I wrote that. King of doing basic math!
LAST THING I PROMISE this video is long so it might have midroll ads—it should only play ads between songs but I'm not?? Entirely sure how it works so if you get an ad in the middle of a song please let me know and I'll try to fix it. Also if you're getting like 3 billion ads please let me know because I am not a fucking capitalist I'm not trying to do fucking commercial breaks for these dumb wips. The ads should all be skippable too because I always manually disable unskippable ads because I do not hate you guys

This song turned out pretty weird but I guess it's fitting because I felt pretty weird when I was writing it! This was my first time ever using UTAU so I hope the tuning is bearable. And yes I will 100% be making a Synth V version of this song once Teto AI releases (which is in, like, a couple hours. But I have to do my midterm first...)
These versions will not be replacing the original versions! Everything will stay public and untouched, but I just think it's really cool to have versions of my songs that are easier to understand and more enjoyable to people who aren't as interested in Vocaloid.
I was considering remastering all my old songs for the Solaria versions, but I decided against that because I know a lot of people like these songs as they are and don't really want changes made. And it definitely does me good to let myself appreciate the things I make even if they're older and not on the level I think I'm at today. I don't need to make perfect things! So I'll probably only remaster songs if I have a specific reason for wanting to besides "I could make it a little bit better." Anyways I hope you enjoyed this blog post disguised as an upload, and I'll post in my community tab if I do end up posting more Solaria versions of my older songs online. :) --- Soundcloud: soundcloud.com/pumpkinheaad/star-speckled-wonderland-solaria-original-song Bandcamp: pumpkinheaad.bandcamp.com/track/star-speckled-wonderland-solaria Spotify: Soon Apple Music: SoonAtmos / Rana (Original Song)Pumpkin Head2023-01-30 | This song is actually a bit old—I wrote it back in 2021 for Ranagain! Unfortunately, my life completely and utterly fell apart right when that collab was finishing up, so I never ended up posting the song to Youtube. Fortunately, my life is no longer in shambles, so I touched up the song and now I'm finally posting it here! I avoided making any significant changes to this, because I wanted it to be pretty close to the version that was released on the Ranagain album.
I do wish I'd been able to hype up the collab more when it was happening, because it was really cool! :') But a belated thank you to Celestrai and everyone who made that collab happen because it was such a cool and fun experience!! I hope you all like this silly little song despite how long it took me to share it publicly :')
I've been working on this song since November 2020, but for a long time I was having a really hard time with it in every way imaginable. I just spent the last 8 hours doing literally nothing except mixing this song and making the PV and now it is finished! I am. So glad it's done. Holy shit.
For a thousand years, here I've laid Making company with the moon Tracing pictures on the Milky Way Finding meaning in empty tunes
Every star twinkles in its own way A fleeting moment gone too soon And the constellations stay the same Glowing for eons with nothing to prove
The stars are beautiful, right? I wonder how that came to be I'll only behold that sight It's all that I can bear to see
Over time, I've come to know As above, so below And the stars above all know What you've done and where you'll go
When the night begins to fade Light will cast on your charades So best watch each word you say Lest they see the light of day
For a thousand years, here I've stayed Building an archive of all I know In time, memories will warp and fade But in paper, they have a home
I've watched stars appear and fade away Lost to the darkness yet unknown And the constellations slowly change A bitter memory from long ago
You think the stars are pretty? You know, they're nothing but lies. It hurts, but all I can see Is their impending demise.
History cries its ghastly poem "As above, so below" The night sky is all I know But it's all too soon to go
In time, memories will fade Burnt records can't be saved But, in ashes, there I lay Praying for a new escape
The stars tell me what they know "As above, so below" I know I've reaped what I sowed I cannot let this go
So my archives fade away And the stars laugh in my face How I wish that I could stay But the truth is clear as dayThe Other Side (Full EP)Pumpkin Head2020-09-17 | Track names: 1.

Lyrics: Death should cause no pain All lost spirits turn to stars one day Except for me I'm so lost, but I'm not shining
My world is gray The Mother took the color away To ease the pain Of two souls who passed and went away
I'll say, "It's okay. You can leave me if it stops your pain." I'll take the blame For a death I wasn't born for
I miss them too And I wish they weren't taken so soon Just me and you You who forgot of me far too soon
But, one night I saw them wave from the night sky And say that I'd be with them soon
Star-speckled eyes told me I would soon say my goodbyes To the Mother who never saw me Constellations painted hands waiting for my embrace And I'd be with them when the world ended
Death should cause no fright Upon death you're reborn in the sky And, if I'm right Let my death come take me tonight
I'm not afraid I'm eagerly waiting for my fate The mother may Be the one who tears this world away
Our lives come and go The Mother's the one who told me so But, I have a plan To live life with my Meteor Man
With every day This world continues to fade away The only life That remains is my house and the sky
But, I know, even if my death is slow I'll have my Meteor Man waiting
But, I don't know if these fateful dreams are untrue Oh, if they're lies I don't know what I'd do
Meteor Man, I'm still waiting for you to save me The mother's killing me so slowly The sky is blue, a gorgeous cage stealing me from you You need to free me, you need to save me
I don't want to live on if things will stay like this 'Cause everything I know is a lie, all that I know are her lies All I know will die if the mother succeeds But, oh, that was the plan all along, that was the plan all along
Meteor Man, I can't see what's there in front of me The future's coming, are you ready?
Whisper goodbyes as the world crumbles before my eyes And get ready to start a new life Goodbye Mother, the creature who stole my soul from me I never loved you, never loved you
I'll never love a monster like you I'm glad you're trapped under the ashesfirgidiPumpkin Head2018-12-02 | Was shocked and horrified to learn that it's been four whole year since I changed the title back to normal so woe, firgidi be upon ye
Crows remind me of 5AM When the sky's dull blue And the birds cry red I don't know if I want this to end...
Crows remind my of 5AM When your dull blue hue Stains my world again I don't want the morning to move again, again
When the morning came, I looked away Too scared to face what you'd become But in a way, you'd never changed And all my worrying meant none
And so today, I'll walk away And hide from the sun in my bed And hope or pray that come one day I'll find my 5AM
Crows remind me of 5AM When the world's subdued And the heartless dead I don't think that you really understand...
When tomorrow came, I couldn't stay Or hide from your words in my bed I choose to lay in nests of gray Hidden ten feet above your head
And so today those clouds of gray Have stolen every trace of dawn But that's okay, 'cause there's remains of my own 5AM
You remind me of 5AM With your hollow eyes And your claws stained red I don't know if I want to see you...
You remind me of 5AM With your countless lies And your bleached-white skin I don't know if you were ever here...Parasite / Gumi (2017 ver.)Pumpkin Head2017-12-24 | Thank you guys for all the love on this song - while I still feel embarrassed by this song, seeing all the support has made me feel much more positively about this song, and that means a lot to me. ^_^
