The beauty of Dr. Steel is that you don't have to be into steampunk to enjoy it or, indeed, be a Toy Soldier. His message brings enlightenment to us all!
glad I'm not the last dedicated follower of the doctor's word left. he may be gone, but his message still reigns true to this day. fight on brother, fight on....
The Dr. has changed my life dramatically; for the better, at that. Through his music, the philosophy he speaks of, and the sheer amount of amazing he can bring to all he does, he has brought me to a better state of mind than I've ever been in. All of life is merely revolving around our perceptions, and we can change that. All hail Emperor Steel. *Salute*
I like the quote at the beginning. "Be who you are, and say what you feel. Because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind. Just as interesting as the song itself
I keep coming back to this video, reposting it on my FB every few months. I really miss Dr. Steel. If I ever hit the lottery I'm going to hunt him down and offer to support his return entirely out of pocket. Pay check, studio costs, instruments, web/media support, web videos, etc. Every dime he needs to keep his brilliant work.
+CeruleanDragon1 Going by this songs philosophy (one i share for a while now and one that is very true) you shouldn't just depend on something like the lottery, but do what you believe in and you'll succeed even better ;) I wonder if the good Dr. still has the energy though...
I love this video... The song.. The lyrics.. You can even see the effort put into this... It's so good that I can't stop listening to it... It's so good... The video is so amazing..
All this time, I thought this was a surprisingly depressing message about how corporations and governments control our reality. Not until recently have I realized that the message is exactly the opposite of that!
This song is implying that reality is a simulation created by advanced ancient human beings. Which is probably true, especially considering the discovery made by James Gate in regards to superstring theory. Doctor Steel is saying that we lived once but we ruined it all and as a last resort put ourselves in a simulation. "May our dreaming never die."
I really enjoyed this work. I apprecate that you putting so much effort to add visual material to Dr. Steel's work. And i wish you always have health and (when required) time, desire, ability to make more of them. Thank you very much =)
The thing is, he's describing what it is, not what it should be. In reality, we make decisions, and if the decisions are flawed, we must accept the consequences or "Reap as we sow"
That is the beauty of it all, our reality is OUR reality. None decide it but ourselves, and Dr. Steel has brought that knowledge to all. Viva Le Dr. Steel
Let's also not forget that limitations actually encourage creativity. If you limit your color palette, for instance, you will focus on other visual aspects. Many people prefer to work in black and white photography for this reason. Humans seem to be at their most creative when trying to circumvent their limitations. Problem solving and creativity go hand in hand.
the emperor is right, my fellow toy soldiers. Our reality is ours to command, to control. It is obvious that he tells us this because he cares? Yes, yes. The emperor loves us all! *Toy Soldier Solute*
Just to let you guys know, I regulate the comments and only check them about once a day or so. Feel free to post your number or whatever but don't do it 20 times if you don't see it show up right away. Also, don't leave snide comments about the Doc. I just won't approve them.
Love this video. I've seen it so many times. I'm glad someone put this (wonderful) video together, and took the time. I'm also glad that it just so happens to be my favorite song (:
Though I love the quote, "be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind" was never actually said by dr. seuss.
@BobbyNipples Well, we deocorate our uniforms in any creative way we chose, and the uniforms are basically just to recognize other Toy Soldiers and create a sense of unity...the only request, when deviating from a standard uniform, is that we stick to the color scheme. =)
@ BobbyNipples My uniform is different than many other Soldiers' uniforms. I think I'm the only Toy Soldier with an oscillator schematic on my army hat. And uniforms breed creativity through limitations. TS 29176 reporting...no other Toy Soldier has that number, and I am proud of my number. It's unique like me. ^_^
@starkravenmadd Erm, I actually know that... I thought this person was talking about Dr. Steel for some reason. How strange of me to think that. Hm. Anyway, yeah, the video is good, though I'd love to see some more non-lyric ones. Are have you put any more of this visual art of yours under construction? :)
In the section where the lyrics are in other languages... they used the wrong "so." In Spanish, "tan" means "so" as in "This song is SO cool." The correct word to use in the context of the song would be "entonces." Just saying.
Where are you Dr Steel? Your toy soldiers await your return in our moment of greatest need.
The beauty of Dr. Steel is that you don't have to be into steampunk to enjoy it or, indeed, be a Toy Soldier. His message brings enlightenment to us all!
Time and tides have taught me this is still true. We decide it.

Beautifully crafted and imagined. Less IS more. This is how we will become, not by destruction, but by CREATION.
ALL HAIL DOCTOR STEEL.
It really sucks when someone so iconic totally abandons what he created. It's like he doesn't realize how powerful and important that icon has become.
The uniforms are the same, but the wearers are unique. That's what matters.
All this time, I thought this was a surprisingly depressing message about how corporations and governments control our reality. Not until recently have I realized that the message is exactly the opposite of that!
I love this song. Very poetic and profound with a good beat to boot. :)
I love this guy, why isn't he bigger yet? Blast it people give him your money!

Dr. Steel is the best things I found found on the net for years. Dr. Steel for world emperor. Then we will have a Utopian Playland.
This has to be one of my favorite songs. The surreal atmosphere of the song compliments its message perfectly.
I really enjoyed this work.
I apprecate that you putting so much effort to add visual material to Dr. Steel's work.
And i wish you always have health and (when required) time, desire, ability to make more of them. Thank you very much =)
Who would give this great video and song a thumbs down??
I've always loved this song, it's definitely one of the Doctor's most informative. Great animation man!
OH
MY
GOD.
This has to be the best video I've EVER seen on here. You should totally get an award, ESPECIALLY since it's a Doctor Steel Video...

Viva Le Dr. Steel
Easily my favorite Doctor Steel song ever. As Dr. Claw of the Toy Soldiers, I give this video 10 on a scale of 5! Brilliant!
I didn`t like dr steel at first, but after stubbornly listening to a few more songs I started to love it :3
This song is my very favorite. It gets me through the day when nothing else seems to matter. *Toy Soldier Salute.*
Doctor Steel Will Rule This Earth....I'll Make Sure Of It With The Other Toy Soldier's !! v.v hell yeah!

nice textual effects.really added to the song.
For as long as i have been watching youtube, this remains among the top 5 videos i have watched.
Dr. Steel for Emperor! ^^
Great video, thanks :):)
Dr steel is the best singer in the whole world and the lyrics for his songs are so beautiful and perfect
If this isn't perfection, then at least it bumps into it.
the emperor is right, my fellow toy soldiers. Our reality is ours to command, to control. It is obvious that he tells us this because he cares? Yes, yes. The emperor loves us all! *Toy Soldier Solute*
Thanks sweetie! I really worked hard on this one, and am glad to see it get such a heartfelt response!

Oh my god! I remember watching your videos ages ago. Wow. Takes me back...
Excellent word play. I think the good Doctor would approve.
did you know these videos are mentioned on the "Doctor Steel" tvtropes page?
This is a Great Song , and you're visuals match it perfectly.
( Toy Soldier reporting )
Smashing Job, Toy Soldier! The doctor is amazing!
You're correct, the title is just "We Decide"
Thanks for that.
Damn that was badass.
this guy just keeps improving!
Love this video. I've seen it so many times. I'm glad someone put this (wonderful) video together, and took the time. I'm also glad that it just so happens to be my favorite song (:
Hail the mad genius of malleable realityforms!
Though I love the quote, "be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind" was never actually said by dr. seuss.
BRILLIANT! All hail Overloard Steel!

i think that people are afraid for changes so they fear others who think different...
All Hail Dr. Steel!! *toy scout salute*
my favorite Dr. Steel song
I mean, the transitions are PERFECT...
Absolutely brilliant like all of Dr Steels work. Cant wait to see more ^^ *rates 5 as usual for Dr Steel*
Have you been made a yellow jacket yet? 'Cause this is amazing!
Such a beautiful song.
Ahh haha!! THIS is the other song I was seeking. So true!....and so catchy. Bravo! ahhaaaa BRAVO! ^,,,,^

You have to. He brainwashed you. And me too, for the record.

Greetings,

My new theme song
Song is so bleedin true.
I love this one
Herr Stahl fur Weltkaiser!
but allot of the problems are caused by people we decided to elect to make the hard decisions for us
Dr steel is your friend. Remember that.
@starkravenmadd
Erm, I actually know that... I thought this person was talking about Dr. Steel for some reason. How strange of me to think that. Hm.

Great work man.
sow means we. plant the seeds to are own destruction if not careful in what we do
Amazing song

X.O.

μα τι κομματι.Dr.Steel γυρνα πισω!
i think hees getting some good mesages across
a well made video

Just saying.
was the last part part of s speech
Good man.
Yeah I heard it too for the last two lines. I dont think he does it through the rest of the song though
TS33874 Reporting for duty!
You must obey... because its the good Dr.'s Orders >: )
Amazing work. If I may cherry-pick, I'd indicate that "and so" doesn't translate to Spanish as "y tan". An accurate translation would be "y así".
Excellence.
What the fu-
This is actually rather profound, and not what I was expecting.
Yes, but the quote at the beginning is from Dr. Seuss.
I agree.
@Gaiacarra because he told us that he was downright bonkers. take a look at his "insanity" video.
All hail the good doctor
