    Thank you for the reaction!
    No Waves Like Home is an interesting one because it's not actually really about Subnautica at all.
    It's a deeply personal song about finding your place in life and making the most of the circumstances life puts in front of you, even if they were wildly different than what you planned.
    I spent years not sure what I wanted to do with my life, I wanted to be an animator, an entertainer, a writer, but none of it worked out and I ended up stuck in a job I didn't enjoy. Then I found UA-cam as a career and all those skills I'd learned for those other dreams all helped me flourish here.
    So the song's message of 'dreaming of space but finally being awake in the waves' sings to that idea, the protagonist planned to spend their life in the stars but ended up under the ocean and found actually, maybe it was where they were meant to be after all, and those skills they thought would help them in space are exactly what they need in their new life under the ocean.
    So whilst I peppered the song with some humour it's actually a very personal exploration of my own experiences with my own ambitions and life path. It's the sort of thing that most folks wouldn't really pick up on, but listening again with that in mind it should hopefully shine through.
    Also, Planet Zoo is a direct sequel to Planet Coaster by the same devs. :)
    Also, nice shirt! ;)

      This is actually one of my all time favorite songs, because much like Starlight Brigade, it's a great encouragement to take the leap and try something new. I _love_ the "Doesn't matter how you fall if you land the dive" line, that's helped keep me calm on same really bad days. Thank you so much for making it. I also really liked the message that even if your life is falling to pieces, you can still build something new out of the wreckage.

    I mentioned before you should read the description if you reacted to build a zoo. And since you were somewhat disappointed by the lack of animal puns until the end, this part of the description explains why;
    "I went into this song with the intent of simply doing as many animal puns as I could fit into a song. But after experiencing the game and seeing how serious and genuine a message it carries about conversation and the environment, I couldn't help but redirect myself to stay true to that message. It is after all a vitally important one."

    2 things. 1 you can NOT hold 2 things in your hands at the same time. 2 there is a submarine in the game that is called the cyclops. This submarine has a mode called:"silent running" wich lowers the radius that aggresive creatures (mainly leviathans) can detect you from. That is what the line:"live your life in silent running" points to. At least i assume.

    Stupes is outrageously funny when he wants to be, but his more emotional songs like No Waves Like Home can hit super hard. Another one like that is his other SquigglyDigg collab, The West Was One. It isn't funny, but it isn't trying to be; it's trying to be emotional, and it does that very well.
    If you want another comedic song, I'd recommend Just One Day by Brian David Gilbert. He makes a lot of variety content, including comedy music, and you could get a lot of pull with his audience by reacting to that one.

    You could either choose to react to the full 30 minute video, which has all the setup and explanation for the song, as well as being the catalyst for a lot of the song's jokes, or just the 8.5 minute studio recording of the full song.
