The fact that this song is about an anime and not about a real older sibling who left home to find their happiness, leaving their younger siblings to survive their parents, absolutely astounds me.
Good writing should feel based in reality- at least, as far as the emotional components go. Horikoshi definitely put in his research. I'm just really, really hoping it's not from a personal friend who's struggled similarly.
This song and the artist remind me of Madi Buckley and her brother Evan (Buck) Buckley from the show 9.1.1... this comment just clarified that but the roles were reversed... older sister madi left home to be a nurse leaving younger Evan to serving the strict parents so... yeee I love it
Oh my god, I listened to this before reading the description and thought "This would be a really good song for a Dabi animatic" I checked the desc after I read your comment to find out it was really inspired by him. How cool :)
I love that for people that are into My Hero they get feels But also people that aren't still get feels Some of the best fan songs are the ones that can have meaning without the context of the original material
Yeah!!! Like Im not a bnha fan but im a fan of the days union And despite not knowing the character this is about I can put it with a character from my own fandom And THATS the fan songs that are really the best They can stand with any fandom And they can stand alone The character i put this with is realistic day,who left his one and only friend in a union that did not care about him It hurt him so bad to turn from everything he had ever known And he wishes every day it was different as he watched the union crumble and fall to war But he knew he had to leave Because his friend refused to. I also put this with nick cult who left little 12 year old jack in an emotionally abusive household because nick just couldn’t stand being there anymore And it hurt to leave But he had to
this song is in perfect timing with the rest of dabi backstory in chapter 350. I'm listening to this on loop to recover from that emotional rollercoster.
“There is Little of me let that could care about dousing the wildfire” this hits so hard. For me, it’s knowing your actions are incorrect, and yet continuing to go on. You know you need to stop to control the situation, fix things, but instead you continue on, because there is nothing stopping you. You lose the part of you that cares, and push through it.
I love your interpretation of it. Mine was always it's about not trying to manage your parent's reactions or pacifying them anymore. When you're just so done with their abusive behavior that you don't even even care. You've realized they don't want to change and you can't stop them from behaving that way so why even try anymore?
Ah, I feel the same way about how you lose a part of you that cares, it's because it's all you ever knew you dont know how to stop because these incorrect actions were always on you, as you grew you did these actions to others because you always grew up with it you don't know how to stop when no one ever stopped hurting you, anyway that's how i feel about it or what i mean what i been threw.
With me it was very much, you ruined me before I was born. You made me to serve and fix you. You made me to handle your problems and you stole my childhood, my innocence, my happiness, and my freedom, before I even had it. I didn't deserve how you ruined me and I can't ever heal from it, if I can't heal from and move past your wrongdoings, then neither can you.
been bawling with this on repeat back at spotify bc if u change it to ‘You left me alone in a house not a home’ and suddenly its the anthem for little siblings left in an abusive household by their older siblings who finally turned 18 and ran for freedom.. and the older sibling comes back for them only for the younger sibling to have already been traumatized beyond repair.. how bittersweet
Very strong feels from this song as I'm the older sibling preparing my home for my little brother who is turning 18 in a month and he'll finally get out. He may have the same cracks I have but that's ok as we will paint them with gold.
I'm 17 and went to live with my dad and left my two siblings 6 and 10 and I try to pull them away as often as I can but I can't speak to my mother without getting super angry. And I don't want them to take that and run.
i love how this song perfectly explain the feeling of leaving a younger sibling in an abusive/toxic household and having to get past the guilt that comes along with it.
"Brother did you know? You could just strike a match, Hear him scream my name one last time" is the most heartbreaking for me, its that concept where a parent says all of their kids names before getting the right one, and its so human and mundane, but then you add in that his other kid has been disowned, and in this scenario shoto is only striking the match to get his father to confront his brother's existence.
Growing up in an abusive house, the oldest of three who was forced out at seventeen, this hits severely close to home. My sister was the favorite, my brother and me were targeted most. And when I tell you, I did all I could to keep that attention on me, keep them with the least amount of trauma possible, I did. He's sixteen now. He's smart. He's flourishing. He's headstrong. He smiles, so much more than he did almost three years ago. I'm home, I don't have the same relationship with him as I used to. But that man is gone from our lives. If mom had never left that man, I had full intention to give them both an escape when I could. This hits so hard, being what we went through. And I had a period where I was so lost and confused, where I hated everyone more than anything. Yeah. I have gone through therapy. But the "I left you alone in a house not a home." made me share. I'm happy that he smiles now.
Thank you for sharing, and I'm really glad to hear you're both doing better now. I've never been in a similar, but I've always done what I could to translate and mediate for my younger brother when he and my parents spark off each other, so your thoughts really resonated with me. I wish you both the best!
I feel this, except I'm the youngest of four. My eldest brother got me out permanently when I was 10 (it was clear to everybody I was the most hated), but stayed behind for my other brother and sister. He suffered abuse so bad he took his life as a result recently, and "I left you alone in a house, not a home" makes me cry every single time.
Not me but my best friend in the world left the moment they were able so they could start trying to save up for a way out for the younger siblings and it eats at them all the time that they left. I have to remind them they wouldn’t be alive to help the siblings if they stayed (was suicidal at the time bc the situation) and we’ve been saving for a house we hope to have by next year and then save a bit more and go for custody. They’ve been out of the house for two years and it will prob be 4 by the time everything is in place but getting them out at 10 and 14 is better than them having stayed and died or being stuck for an extra 12 years possibly longer.
I’m the middle of three, I was forced to leave at the height of my step father’s abuse when I was younger and my little brother blamed me for it. When I came back, I had gone through hell at my bio father’s house and we got into a lot of “who had it worse” arguments but in reality we were both alone and scared in those situations. He’s seventeen now, step dad is gone from our lives forever. Also my older brother was similarly forced out at 16 by our step dad. We all fought alone for so long, but it only brought us closer as siblings.
This is absolutely gut-wrenching. I've heard other dabi songs, and almost all of them are loud, violent, and angry. Not that that doesn't fit with his character, but the feel I got from the song made it seem like it was Touya singing instead; a betrayed, heartbroken young man who has let go of the few scraps of his old self that remain, and has made peace with the fact that things can never go back to how they used to be. Overall, this is gorgeous. I don't know what else to say.
I've never watched/read My Hero Academia, this just came up in my recommended and I'm so glad it did. This song is incredible!!! It made me really want to try and write a story around it which has never happened to me before
im actually sobbing rihgt now. like not kidding SOBBING. the electric guitar is gorgeous, the chorus is so magical. Madds you completely outdid yourself this time and I'm incredibly proud of you and everyone who worked with you on this song. I wish nothing but the absolute best for you and congrats on the song drop.
I am taking an ASL (American Sign Language) class and for our end of the year project, I have to chose a song to sign to. I chose this song! The guitar is so pretty, the singing is beautiful, and the LYRICS are AMAZING! It gets me in my feels every single time. I already knew most of the signs needed to follow along to this song as well, and I am coming close to being able to sign it fluently! Yay! Beautiful song. I saved it on Spotify as soon as I saw this video XD
As an older sibling who left their younger brothers in a broken, mentally abusive home, in order to take care of myself, but now I come back to the home, and the place is a disaster, this song hits home.

I've had this on repeat on spotify anytime I work. For me this hits deeply, as an older brother that was forced to leave a younger brother in an abusive home life, I relate way too much to the line, "I left you alone in a house, not a home." My little brother is no longer in that house luckily. I love your music. Thank you for giving this side of Dabi a chance to speak.
I have similar feelings rn, my little brother and my younger sisters live with my mother, and I hope that she gets better, but my Mom's a reck that can't even clean the table half the time. It's been almost 15 years, but she has finally been reported and marked down as a disfunctional parent and she tries, I think. I stopped talking to her, but from my siblings, I hear that my sisters are fine and my little brother isn't. It hurts so much
Goodness… you’ve truly captured the spirit of Dabi’s character that I feel like few people can grasp. Here, he’s just… telling Shoto a tale. He is angry, yes, but he’s just too far gone to care anymore. I wish I could like this more than once
Seeing as most songs based around Dabi and his childhood are angry, shaming his father for what he did to him, but this one is more of an apology, to the todoroki children, to his mother, and to himself, I find it very comforting to see the sentimental, human side of dabi for once.
Oh brother of mine. It's been a long, long time Since I've seen my fave in your eyes Oh brother, I've returned To my burn scars at birth Charcoal and iron Brought me back And I left you alone In a house, and not a home And I watched the burning grow As my hair filled with gray From the ashes that fell The mountains I knew so well Burned with hellfire in the Blue light of midnight Brother, I watched the sky burn And all I learned was smoke fills the lungs Like a disease Brother, I see you burn like me The Singes on our skin like a brand Brother,I confess there is a little of me left That could care about dousing the wildlfire And I left u alone In a house, not a home And I watch the burning grow As my hair filled with gray From the ashes that fell The mountains I knew so well Burned with hellfire in the blue light of midnight brother, I watched the sky Burn And all I learned was smoke Fills the lungs like a disease Brother, did you know you could just strike a match hear him scream my name One last time Brother, I am home in the fires of our youth I could care less if it hurts you anymore And I left you alone , in a house, not a home And I watch the burning grow As my hair filled with gray From the ashes that fell The mountains I knew so well Burned with hellfire in the blue light of midnight Brother, I watch the sky burn And all I learned was smoke fills the lungs Like a disease Did I spend a long time doing this yes was it worth it also yes now I can send it to my friends because idk I'm bored I could send the song instead of the lyrics but it's funner to do both
You couldn't pick a better release date, "Brother" + chapter 350 leaks just broke me. I'm now a sobbing pile wrapped in blankets. Honestly, the coordination is unimaginable, do you have Horikoshi on the speed dial?
This song bitch slapped me with my own trauma. Youngest of seven children, the sheltered bandaid baby who was raised to do all the emotional labor and taught that the only way someone will love me is if I can give them something. Plus I'm the younger of two daughters and the other died when I was one and she was ten to cancer. My siblings are all 8-18 years older and despite having the same parents are complete strangers to me. I haven't spoken to any of them in almost four years and my life is completely unaffected aside from the occasional breakdown over this realization. The day I realized I didn't have brothers, just strangers that share genes, I grieved the family I thought had but never did.
Aw fuck. That line "I could care less if it hurts you anymore," shit I felt that. Plus all the references to fire and burns, I have severe pyromania, general mania, bipolar depression, and cptsd, and I got diagnosed for all of that after i had a breakdown a few years back that resulted in me trying to burn my hometown down. I regretted setting the initial fire and tried to put it out after I called someone, I'm very lucky the burns I got on my hands and arms didn't scar. Fuckin shit this song cuts deeper and deeper the more I listen. I should NOT relate this much to Dabi.
GODDAMMIT THE BURN WITH HELLFIRE LINE JUST SCREAMS "ABUSIVE RELIGIOUS HOUSEHOLD" AND MY DAD WAS A MORMON BISHOP IN RURAL TEXAS. IM A BISEXUAL, HELENIC PAGAN, CHAOS AND DEATH WITCH. FUCK!!!!! STOP. BEING. THIS.
This song fits with my childhood so much. I’m the middle child of 3, I was the only one to graduate. I moved out at 13 to my aunts. My sisters stayed with my mother, my older is in prison, and my twin a young mother, though I wouldn’t trade my nephew for the world. I left home for me, for my mental health, but I left them behind in a toxic home. I have a brighter future but I’m sad to see what’s happened to them. I often think of what things could’ve been if they too had left.
I’m a older brother, I was taken into states care. Because my parents were caught, i’m not going to elaborate but my younger sibling introduced me to my hero academia. In fact I can guarantee that they are probably watching this video at some point in time, this is my message to them…I’m sorry that I left you alone kiddo, but I’m proud of you for resisting the control of them. I’ve heard that you’re just like how I was at that age and i’m happy about that because that means you’re a fighter and that you are going to make this world your stomping ground’s. I have guilt for leaving you in that environment but what I don’t have guilt about is all the times you’ve seen me retaliate because you’ve learned the family was wrong, the cycle was broken once and we can break it again.
I was never in any type of abusive home, the way others relate but I relate to this because my story is a little different. Growing up, I had an older brother exactly four but this one in particular was the best brother i could ever ask for, until as i grew up i noticed he started changing. That was when I found out when he was younger he took the wrong path in life, making bad decisions. That now had a heavy effect in who he was then and who he would be in the future, along with whom he surrounded himself with. The one brother I loved so much, that I looked up to all the time, that showed nothing but compassion, care, and love towards me suddenly showed hatred, and resentment towards me especially in the way he talked to me...And this started after a year of trying to get into contact with him, along with no birthday wishes from him either. I cried nights wishing he'd come back...wishing he'd change, wishing for him to go back to the talkative and kind brother I once knew but...now ive learned that i can't wait on an outcome, especially from someone who has chose to live the way they are. I miss him, but I'll infact let him live the life he chose to live. Thank you for reading my story ❤️
This song makes me feel free. In my interpretation, it's like telling someone to get out of an abusive relationship that costs a lot to do so but who already knows the consequences and the loss of himself.But even so, he keeps moving forward knowing that nothing will be the same and that everything is fine.And that blue flames will always burn as that person chooses themselves no matter how hard it is to leave someone behind
There is something so heart breaking about this song. Like Dabi is confessing how he wronged his brother and warning him to not go down this path while at the same time being unable to stop himself from losing himself to it
There’s something so nostalgic about this song, even though it’s not even a year old, it feels like I’ve heard it before, maybe in another lifetime. It sounds like the pain of someone I’ve never met but have known my whole life.
I love the part where it says “I left you alone in a house not a home” Its relatable for me after things just got so bad and since my brother was old enough to move out he did and when he came back I wasn’t the same and he knew it.
I saw this song on tiktok and even though I know it’s a fan song, it’s hits close too home from me because I left my brother in broken home and now I’ll be going back for the first time in 4 years too watch my sister graduate and will be seeing him.
I am not a My Hero fan and never plan on watching it, however I discovered this song yesterday and it is GORGEOUS. It hits very hard, coming from an eldest siblings.
I know this is about MHA/BNHA, but I can’t help but think about Jason Todd with this song, and how his suffering didn’t seem to teach Batman anything in his eyes. Not that leaving people like Joker alive caused more harm than good, not that bringing children into battle was wrong, nothing. I know this is intended to be Toya telling Shoto about his suffering, and how Endeavor had abused them, but I just can’t stop thinking about the Red Hood telling his fellow Robins about how one impulsive decision ruined his life and tainted how he viewed the man he once idolized.
this is one of the best songs i've heard in a long time, but honestly, that happens whenever i hear your music!! those higher notes near the end gave me chills and the song all around was just so good ^^
i may not watch My Hero Academia but this song can be interpreted in so many ways, it’s so human and the vocals are so beautiful. you did an amazing job with this song
Honestly, I’ve never watched MHA, I hardly know the plot, but this song is so beautiful idc if I’ve seen the song or not, your voice just tickles that part of my brain that trigger serotonin
i love this song so much. i know that its based on a character from mha but I've put it in my black brother playlist because this reminds me so much of Sirius and Regulus' relationship. its amazing
My sister absolutely loves this song, I don’t really associate it with MHA because I don’t watch anime much, but I think it’s a really beautiful song. This has been me and my sisters song forever since she showed me it, and I can’t listen without crying
Just got back from watching the reveal episode, I felt so much anguish when Toya says that he is proud of Shoto for coming so far and for being so nice, yet is still attempting to kill him in order to hurt endeavour. Shoto has been traumatised his entire childhood, so why does he have to suffer on the battlefield when it's all endeavor's fault? Endeavor may have change but it doesn't change the fact the fact that he still married for power, sent their mother to the hospital, completely neglected his children, abused and tortured Shoto, and didn't stop after Toya passed away. . They will never get their childhood back. I hope dabi does make endeavour suffer but not like this it hurts too much:(
Oh hermano mío ha pasado mucho tiempo Desde que he visto mi cara en tus ojos Oh hermano, he regresado A mis cicatrices de quemaduras de nacimiento El carbón y el hierro me trajeron de vuelta Y te dejé solo En una casa, no un hogar Y vi crecer la quema Mientras mi cabello se llenaba de canas De las cenizas que cayeron Las montañas que conocía tan bien Quemado con Hellfire en la luz azul de la medianoche Hermano, vi arder el cielo Y todo lo que aprendí fue El humo llena los pulmones como una enfermedad hermano ya veo te quemas como yo El canta en nuestra piel como una marca hermano, lo confieso Queda poco de mi A eso podría importarle apagar el incendio forestal Y te dejé solo En una casa, no un hogar Y vi crecer la quema Mientras mi cabello se llenaba de canas De las cenizas que cayeron Las montañas que conocía tan bien Quemado con Hellfire en la luz azul de la medianoche Hermano vi arder el cielo Y todo lo que aprendí fue El humo llena los pulmones como una enfermedad hermano sabias Podrías simplemente encender un fósforo Escúchalo gritar mi nombre por última vez hermano estoy en casa En los fuegos de nuestra juventud No podría importarme menos si te duele más Y te dejé solo En una casa, no un hogar Y vi crecer la quema Mientras mi cabello se llenaba de canas De las cenizas que caen Las montañas que conocía tan bien Quemado con Hellfire en la luz azul de la medianoche Hermano vi arder el cielo Y todo lo que aprendí fue El humo llena los pulmones como una enfermedad
This song is fighting tooth and nail to turn me into a Dabi Kinnie, cuz I left three siblings with my mother who abused us all, but mostly me since I was the eldest who "ruined her life" and should have been "more grateful she was pro-life". Part of healing is recognizing that you can't save everyone, but saving yourself is up to you.
Dabi feels so personal to me as a character because of my upbringing. I was a lot like him, grown up as the first that was molded by my father to always be the best golden child. His pain he ironed and poured into me, and it left me so broken. And I did everything in me to make sure he always focused on me and not my siblings, but with all the hurt and trauma he left me, I couldn't even interact with them normally, I'd snap and have a mental breakdown at the littlest things that reminded me of him. I'm glad to say I'm getting better. I've left for myself, but I will come back to take them from that hell.
"And there is little of me left that could care about dousing the wildfire" It's been 5 years since I've talked to my father. 6 since I've been in that house. The one I grew up in. He has no one left in his life. "I left you alone in a house and not a home". I feel guilty for that, but I also know he did this to himself. He's the one that abused me. I told him if he just apologized I'd be willing to forgive. But he won't change. "Mey hair filled with gray " the memories still cover me like ash, and full my lungs.
This song reminds me of my brother who unfortunately passed when he was a baby today is his birthday and I haven’t heard it for awhile but it popped up in a random mix today it was definitely a sign rest in peace big bother ❤
bro, I'm crying. this hits so hard. I havent read the manga or seen the obvious spoilers, but this has so much emotion behind the words and just the pure way Madds sings it. Excellent job 😭👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Although the song seems to be made for Dabi from MHA, I can't help but picture the relationship of Azula & Zuko from Avatar in it. Fits perfectly with the tone, blue flames & a declining mental health themes
Fuck... I have no clue how many times I've heard this already, and it makes me tear up EVERY single time. Thank you so much for this masterpiece of a song! Dabi has always been one of my favourites so this song and the latest chapter is making me ugly cry!
I can't tell you how often I listen to this, as a older sibling who left younger siblings in an abusive situation and now wach them be hurt because of it. I listen to this every time I try and get them out every time I have to face my abuser hoping it'll do anything to save them in the long run but knowing she will hurt them the moment she gets home This song has helped so much I've screamed it, I've signed it, I've cried at each lyric, thank you for this song
Sure the cover made me know it was dabi but even if I didn’t see it I would if known it was dabi singing to shoto because of how well the lyrics explained these two. Some of the parts were deep asf. You’re a lyrical genius 😭😭 *sorry for my English
The fact that this fucking delectable tragically somber song came from a anime fandom is just….wow. This is just so good. I adore it, its everything it needs to be and more. Love this song so much, it’s so damn underrated.
Ive loved this song since it came out. Been reading along with the manga for years now. Knew this song was gonna F**K me up, when his backstory got officially animated. Just listened to it after watching the newest episode and Im a wreck. 😭💔
THis hits when you consider this a song to the inner teenager or child you left behind to survive.
Ow
Ouchhh
Don’t do this to me 🥲
SOBBING RN OVER THIS
ouch, why do you have to hurt me like this
The fact that this song is about an anime and not about a real older sibling who left home to find their happiness, leaving their younger siblings to survive their parents, absolutely astounds me.

What dabi songs?
I love that for people that are into My Hero they get feels
But also people that aren't still get feels
Some of the best fan songs are the ones that can have meaning without the context of the original material
Yeah!!! Like
Im not a bnha fan but im a fan of the days union
And despite not knowing the character this is about
I can put it with a character from my own fandom
And THATS the fan songs that are really the best
They can stand with any fandom
And they can stand alone
The character i put this with is realistic day,who left his one and only friend in a union that did not care about him
It hurt him so bad to turn from everything he had ever known
And he wishes every day it was different as he watched the union crumble and fall to war
But he knew he had to leave
Because his friend refused to.
I also put this with nick cult who left little 12 year old jack in an emotionally abusive household because nick just couldn’t stand being there anymore
And it hurt to leave
But he had to
can confirm, idk anything about bnha but god this song hits
i didnt even know it was for my hero. love the show but didnt know til now!
I Left the mha fandom years ago but this song means so much to me for other reasons
I used to be a fan until the fandom drove me mad like I no longer associate with it but I understand why people like it
this song is in perfect timing with the rest of dabi backstory in chapter 350. I'm listening to this on loop to recover from that emotional rollercoster.

@@universalpower419 It doesn't matter, he was basically treated that way when being passed aside like he was.

I'm home, I don't have the same relationship with him as I used to. But that man is gone from our lives.
If mom had never left that man, I had full intention to give them both an escape when I could.
This hits so hard, being what we went through. And I had a period where I was so lost and confused, where I hated everyone more than anything.
Yeah. I have gone through therapy. But the "I left you alone in a house not a home." made me share.
I'm happy that he smiles now.
Thank you for sharing, and I'm really glad to hear you're both doing better now. I've never been in a similar, but I've always done what I could to translate and mediate for my younger brother when he and my parents spark off each other, so your thoughts really resonated with me. I wish you both the best!
I feel this, except I'm the youngest of four. My eldest brother got me out permanently when I was 10 (it was clear to everybody I was the most hated), but stayed behind for my other brother and sister. He suffered abuse so bad he took his life as a result recently, and "I left you alone in a house, not a home" makes me cry every single time.
@@jennanichols2945I'm so sorry for your loss and I hope you and your other siblings are doing OK
Not me but my best friend in the world left the moment they were able so they could start trying to save up for a way out for the younger siblings and it eats at them all the time that they left. I have to remind them they wouldn’t be alive to help the siblings if they stayed (was suicidal at the time bc the situation) and we’ve been saving for a house we hope to have by next year and then save a bit more and go for custody. They’ve been out of the house for two years and it will prob be 4 by the time everything is in place but getting them out at 10 and 14 is better than them having stayed and died or being stuck for an extra 12 years possibly longer.
I’m the middle of three, I was forced to leave at the height of my step father’s abuse when I was younger and my little brother blamed me for it. When I came back, I had gone through hell at my bio father’s house and we got into a lot of “who had it worse” arguments but in reality we were both alone and scared in those situations.
He’s seventeen now, step dad is gone from our lives forever.
Also my older brother was similarly forced out at 16 by our step dad.
We all fought alone for so long, but it only brought us closer as siblings.
The fact that I NOW realised this is a Dabi song singing to Shoto has left me speechless... I've been listening to this song for years LMAO
I really can't wait for this one; I saw the one-minute version on TikTok and fell head over heels for it. This is going to be amazing!!
I AM ALREADY OBSESSED
I listened to it for about 3 seconds on my cup and fell head over heals for it Man it’s so good!
Same
This is absolutely gut-wrenching. I've heard other dabi songs, and almost all of them are loud, violent, and angry. Not that that doesn't fit with his character, but the feel I got from the song made it seem like it was Touya singing instead; a betrayed, heartbroken young man who has let go of the few scraps of his old self that remain, and has made peace with the fact that things can never go back to how they used to be.
Overall, this is gorgeous. I don't know what else to say.
Blue flames by Gio Navas is another softer Dabi song
literally- btw, check out cross my heart, the reimagined version(fabvl)
I've never watched/read My Hero Academia, this just came up in my recommended and I'm so glad it did. This song is incredible!!! It made me really want to try and write a story around it which has never happened to me before
It's a really good anime.
I mean I hate the anime but I love this song so it really from all ends doesn't matter lol
@@somepunk3841 damn why tho what did the anime ever do to you?
im actually sobbing rihgt now. like not kidding SOBBING. the electric guitar is gorgeous, the chorus is so magical. Madds you completely outdid yourself this time and I'm incredibly proud of you and everyone who worked with you on this song. I wish nothing but the absolute best for you and congrats on the song drop.
I AM ALREADY SINGING ALONG
I'm crying myself 😭😭😭😭😭

Being the first daughter who has a younger brother in an abusive household
This really hit hard
This
Exactly!
I remember hearing a short part of this song on tiktok a long while ago, I was so excited to see it was getting a full version
I AM OBSESSED
As an older sibling, I feel this resonate in my soul. I want to ball up and cry and hug all my younger siblings..
Keep on making amazing songs❤️❤️
This song was made for a anime Chracter?
@Monokuma
Yes it was made for Dabi I believe
I am taking an ASL (American Sign Language) class and for our end of the year project, I have to chose a song to sign to. I chose this song! The guitar is so pretty, the singing is beautiful, and the LYRICS are AMAZING! It gets me in my feels every single time. I already knew most of the signs needed to follow along to this song as well, and I am coming close to being able to sign it fluently! Yay! Beautiful song. I saved it on Spotify as soon as I saw this video XD
This sounds like mine though I'm not in asl 2 yet so I have to wait till next year.
WISH YOU LUCK 🙌🏻✨🤍
I really hope you did well
As an older sibling who left their younger brothers in a broken, mentally abusive home, in order to take care of myself, but now I come back to the home, and the place is a disaster, this song hits home.
After seeing the manga leaks for this week, I simply cannot listen to this without sobbing.
RIGHT IT HURTS SO MUCH MORE NOW
Wait what happened? :()
@@sleepkae 5 words (to limit spoilers) Dabi and More Backstory and Future.
(If you want to know more probably just search up Dabi current manga chapters and you should be able to see what is going on)
I've had this on repeat on spotify anytime I work. For me this hits deeply, as an older brother that was forced to leave a younger brother in an abusive home life, I relate way too much to the line, "I left you alone in a house, not a home." My little brother is no longer in that house luckily. I love your music. Thank you for giving this side of Dabi a chance to speak.
I have similar feelings rn, my little brother and my younger sisters live with my mother, and I hope that she gets better, but my Mom's a reck that can't even clean the table half the time. It's been almost 15 years, but she has finally been reported and marked down as a disfunctional parent and she tries, I think.
I stopped talking to her, but from my siblings, I hear that my sisters are fine and my little brother isn't. It hurts so much
Goodness… you’ve truly captured the spirit of Dabi’s character that I feel like few people can grasp. Here, he’s just… telling Shoto a tale. He is angry, yes, but he’s just too far gone to care anymore. I wish I could like this more than once
THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER!!!! AHHHHHH!!!!! OMG I CANT WAIT FOR THE ALBUM I AM FREAKING OUT, THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!
I NEED THE ALBUM
I've had the 1 minute version from tiktok on repeat all day waiting for this to drop. The full version did not disappoint :)
Seeing as most songs based around Dabi and his childhood are angry, shaming his father for what he did to him, but this one is more of an apology, to the todoroki children, to his mother, and to himself, I find it very comforting to see the sentimental, human side of dabi for once.
I just learned that this is for dabi and now I’m understanding why I relate to him so much
Oh brother of mine.
It's been a long, long time
Since I've seen my fave in your eyes
Oh brother, I've returned
To my burn scars at birth
Charcoal and iron
Brought me back
And I left you alone
In a house, and not a home
And I watched the burning grow
As my hair filled with gray
From the ashes that fell
The mountains I knew so well
Burned with hellfire in the
Blue light of midnight
Brother, I watched the sky burn
And all I learned was smoke fills the lungs
Like a disease
Brother, I see you burn like me
The Singes on our skin like a brand
Brother,I confess there is a little of me left
That could care about dousing the wildlfire
And I left u alone
In a house, not a home
And I watch the burning grow
As my hair filled with gray
From the ashes that fell
The mountains I knew so well
Burned with hellfire in the blue light of midnight
brother, I watched the sky
Burn
And all I learned was smoke
Fills the lungs like a disease
Brother, did you know you could just strike a match hear him scream my name
One last time
Brother, I am home in the fires of our youth
I could care less if it hurts you anymore
And I left you alone , in a house, not a home
And I watch the burning grow
As my hair filled with gray
From the ashes that fell
The mountains I knew so well
Burned with hellfire in the blue light of midnight
Brother, I watch the sky burn
And all I learned was smoke fills the lungs
Like a disease
Did I spend a long time doing this yes was it worth it also yes now I can send it to my friends because idk I'm bored I could send the song instead of the lyrics but it's funner to do both
Also ik there in the bio but it's funner to do it myself lol
Chills! I’m literally crying, I’m obsessed!! This is so good!!!! I will be listening to this for the rest of my life
I AM STIMMING AMD SINGING ALONG ALREADY
@@cookiecrunch7193 SAME! I’m still screaming, this is incredible!!
@@Jadyn_Anime ITS LITERALLY MIDNIGHT AND I NEED SLEEP BUT I AM WILDLY OBSESSED WITH THIS SONG NOW!!!
SAME
You couldn't pick a better release date, "Brother" + chapter 350 leaks just broke me. I'm now a sobbing pile wrapped in blankets. Honestly, the coordination is unimaginable, do you have Horikoshi on the speed dial?
This song bitch slapped me with my own trauma. Youngest of seven children, the sheltered bandaid baby who was raised to do all the emotional labor and taught that the only way someone will love me is if I can give them something. Plus I'm the younger of two daughters and the other died when I was one and she was ten to cancer. My siblings are all 8-18 years older and despite having the same parents are complete strangers to me. I haven't spoken to any of them in almost four years and my life is completely unaffected aside from the occasional breakdown over this realization.
The day I realized I didn't have brothers, just strangers that share genes, I grieved the family I thought had but never did.
Aw fuck. That line "I could care less if it hurts you anymore," shit I felt that. Plus all the references to fire and burns, I have severe pyromania, general mania, bipolar depression, and cptsd, and I got diagnosed for all of that after i had a breakdown a few years back that resulted in me trying to burn my hometown down. I regretted setting the initial fire and tried to put it out after I called someone, I'm very lucky the burns I got on my hands and arms didn't scar. Fuckin shit this song cuts deeper and deeper the more I listen. I should NOT relate this much to Dabi.
GODDAMMIT THE BURN WITH HELLFIRE LINE JUST SCREAMS "ABUSIVE RELIGIOUS HOUSEHOLD" AND MY DAD WAS A MORMON BISHOP IN RURAL TEXAS. IM A BISEXUAL, HELENIC PAGAN, CHAOS AND DEATH WITCH. FUCK!!!!! STOP. BEING. THIS.
This song fits with my childhood so much. I’m the middle child of 3, I was the only one to graduate. I moved out at 13 to my aunts. My sisters stayed with my mother, my older is in prison, and my twin a young mother, though I wouldn’t trade my nephew for the world. I left home for me, for my mental health, but I left them behind in a toxic home. I have a brighter future but I’m sad to see what’s happened to them. I often think of what things could’ve been if they too had left.
I’m not a fan of MHA but when I heard of this in TT, I didn’t realised it was a fan song. This is the BEST FAN SONG I’VE HEARD.
I’m a older brother, I was taken into states care. Because my parents were caught, i’m not going to elaborate but my younger sibling introduced me to my hero academia. In fact I can guarantee that they are probably watching this video at some point in time, this is my message to them…I’m sorry that I left you alone kiddo, but I’m proud of you for resisting the control of them. I’ve heard that you’re just like how I was at that age and i’m happy about that because that means you’re a fighter and that you are going to make this world your stomping ground’s. I have guilt for leaving you in that environment but what I don’t have guilt about is all the times you’ve seen me retaliate because you’ve learned the family was wrong, the cycle was broken once and we can break it again.
I was never in any type of abusive home, the way others relate
but I relate to this because my story is a little different.
Growing up, I had an older brother exactly four but this one in particular was the best brother i could ever ask for, until as i grew up i noticed he started changing. That was when I found out when he was younger he took the wrong path in life, making bad decisions. That now had a heavy effect in who he was then and who he would be in the future, along with whom he surrounded himself with. The one brother I loved so much, that I looked up to all the time, that showed nothing but compassion, care, and love towards me suddenly showed hatred, and resentment towards me especially in the way he talked to me...And this started after a year of trying to get into contact with him, along with no birthday wishes from him either. I cried nights wishing he'd come back...wishing he'd change, wishing for him to go back to the talkative and kind brother I once knew but...now ive learned that i can't wait on an outcome, especially from someone who has chose to live the way they are.
I miss him, but I'll infact let him live the life he chose to live.
Thank you for reading my story ❤️
Man, I remember when the first clip of this came out over a year ago, shortly after the reveal, and with 350 leaks, it only hits that much harder
As an older sibling this feels like the perfect song to sob to at 2 in the morning
This song makes me feel free. In my interpretation, it's like telling someone to get out of an abusive relationship that costs a lot to do so but who already knows the consequences and the loss of himself.But even so, he keeps moving forward knowing that nothing will be the same and that everything is fine.And that blue flames will always burn as that person chooses themselves no matter how hard it is to leave someone behind
There is something so heart breaking about this song. Like Dabi is confessing how he wronged his brother and warning him to not go down this path while at the same time being unable to stop himself from losing himself to it
There’s something so nostalgic about this song, even though it’s not even a year old, it feels like I’ve heard it before, maybe in another lifetime. It sounds like the pain of someone I’ve never met but have known my whole life.
Been counting down the days and I'm absolutely in love with this song!!
IT SO CATCHY
Miss Buckley. . .did you and Hirokoshi-San secretly communicate? This song hits so much in the pain feels. It's amazing!
I own this.pain😢😂i am the big sis
I just learned this is about Dabi…that makes so much more since and made me cry more😭
we got, "the red means I love you"
and now this! I can't wait to see whats next! maybe a shiggy inspired one! :D
She made one for Shiggy! It's called Child of Ashes, it's up on her channel.
@@mento_mori_ma6398THAT'S A SHIGGY SONG??????????
I love the part where it says “I left you alone in a house not a home” Its relatable for me after things just got so bad and since my brother was old enough to move out he did and when he came back I wasn’t the same and he knew it.
I saw this song on tiktok and even though I know it’s a fan song, it’s hits close too home from me because I left my brother in broken home and now I’ll be going back for the first time in 4 years too watch my sister graduate and will be seeing him.
This song reminds me of Sirius and Regulus Black in so many different ways and I love this song so much
Same I was hoping to find a comment like this
i’m so glad you decided to put out a full version of this song! it’s so incredible and powerful, i can’t wait for the album
As the youngest of the family with depression and two brothers 10 years older than me, this hits really hard.
I am not a My Hero fan and never plan on watching it, however I discovered this song yesterday and it is GORGEOUS. It hits very hard, coming from an eldest siblings.
this is breathtaking. You embodied Toyua so well, it as if he is speaking through you.
I know this is about MHA/BNHA, but I can’t help but think about Jason Todd with this song, and how his suffering didn’t seem to teach Batman anything in his eyes. Not that leaving people like Joker alive caused more harm than good, not that bringing children into battle was wrong, nothing.
I know this is intended to be Toya telling Shoto about his suffering, and how Endeavor had abused them, but I just can’t stop thinking about the Red Hood telling his fellow Robins about how one impulsive decision ruined his life and tainted how he viewed the man he once idolized.
Oh my god I was just thinking the same thing
this is one of the best songs i've heard in a long time, but honestly, that happens whenever i hear your music!! those higher notes near the end gave me chills and the song all around was just so good ^^
i may not watch My Hero Academia but this song can be interpreted in so many ways, it’s so human and the vocals are so beautiful. you did an amazing job with this song
Honestly, I’ve never watched MHA, I hardly know the plot, but this song is so beautiful idc if I’ve seen the song or not, your voice just tickles that part of my brain that trigger serotonin
Honestly, if you are just interested in the story line that this is protaining to, I'm so sorry, cause this is like a side plot
@@Copper_Coins that is the biggest tragedy I've ever heard of
@@Saturn_Drawz genuinely though, I hate how all the best story lines are for side characters that we only get to see once every 5 episodes
Lost my brother when i was very young, and living an abusive household..this song sings in my soul. Thank you
i love this song so much. i know that its based on a character from mha but I've put it in my black brother playlist because this reminds me so much of Sirius and Regulus' relationship. its amazing
As an only child, I have no brother to feel akin to about leaving behind.
But I left little me behind in a house, not a home. All to survive.
My sister absolutely loves this song, I don’t really associate it with MHA because I don’t watch anime much, but I think it’s a really beautiful song. This has been me and my sisters song forever since she showed me it, and I can’t listen without crying
Just got back from watching the reveal episode, I felt so much anguish when Toya says that he is proud of Shoto for coming so far and for being so nice, yet is still attempting to kill him in order to hurt endeavour. Shoto has been traumatised his entire childhood, so why does he have to suffer on the battlefield when it's all endeavor's fault? Endeavor may have change but it doesn't change the fact the fact that he still married for power, sent their mother to the hospital, completely neglected his children, abused and tortured Shoto, and didn't stop after Toya passed away. . They will never get their childhood back. I hope dabi does make endeavour suffer but not like this it hurts too much:(
Oh hermano mío
ha pasado mucho tiempo
Desde que he visto mi cara en tus ojos
Oh hermano, he regresado
A mis cicatrices de quemaduras de nacimiento
El carbón y el hierro me trajeron de vuelta
Y te dejé solo
En una casa, no un hogar
Y vi crecer la quema
Mientras mi cabello se llenaba de canas
De las cenizas que cayeron
Las montañas que conocía tan bien
Quemado con Hellfire en la luz azul de la medianoche
Hermano, vi arder el cielo
Y todo lo que aprendí fue
El humo llena los pulmones como una enfermedad
hermano ya veo
te quemas como yo
El canta en nuestra piel como una marca
hermano, lo confieso
Queda poco de mi
A eso podría importarle apagar el incendio forestal
Y te dejé solo
En una casa, no un hogar
Y vi crecer la quema
Mientras mi cabello se llenaba de canas
De las cenizas que cayeron
Las montañas que conocía tan bien
Quemado con Hellfire en la luz azul de la medianoche
Hermano vi arder el cielo
Y todo lo que aprendí fue
El humo llena los pulmones como una enfermedad
hermano sabias
Podrías simplemente encender un fósforo
Escúchalo gritar mi nombre por última vez
hermano estoy en casa
En los fuegos de nuestra juventud
No podría importarme menos si te duele más
Y te dejé solo
En una casa, no un hogar
Y vi crecer la quema
Mientras mi cabello se llenaba de canas
De las cenizas que caen
Las montañas que conocía tan bien
Quemado con Hellfire en la luz azul de la medianoche
Hermano vi arder el cielo
Y todo lo que aprendí fue
El humo llena los pulmones como una enfermedad
Sobbing to this on repeat because in a years time I’m leaving my brother behind. I don’t want him to feel abandoned or shunned.
Im sobbing at the fact that this also fits the Black brothers from harry potter but i love this song!!
Songs like this are why i love fanfics and AUs more than canon, which i stopped following months ago
Proud to say that I was there when the first time tok draft of this came out, and proud to say that I'm still here now. Whoooooooooo!
I really wish I found her page sooner but I am so glad I found it recently
Never knew I could like a song about a mha villain so much-
“And I left you alone, in a house, not a home.”
Damn.
This song is fighting tooth and nail to turn me into a Dabi Kinnie, cuz I left three siblings with my mother who abused us all, but mostly me since I was the eldest who "ruined her life" and should have been "more grateful she was pro-life".
Part of healing is recognizing that you can't save everyone, but saving yourself is up to you.
As the brother who got left behind....this hits hard. My brother is starting to admit that our parents suck & it's like we're burning together now. 🥺
Istg "I left you in a house but not a home" hits everytime 🥲
Dabi feels so personal to me as a character because of my upbringing. I was a lot like him, grown up as the first that was molded by my father to always be the best golden child. His pain he ironed and poured into me, and it left me so broken. And I did everything in me to make sure he always focused on me and not my siblings, but with all the hurt and trauma he left me, I couldn't even interact with them normally, I'd snap and have a mental breakdown at the littlest things that reminded me of him. I'm glad to say I'm getting better. I've left for myself, but I will come back to take them from that hell.
I come back to this song once in a while and it still hurts everytime I listen to it.
Great now it’s time to cry in my car as I project onto 2D characters
Me to me too it’s ok!!!!
Fuckin same. Lmao
This is going on repeat. I love this.
BRUH MY MOM IS ABOUT TO GET REAL SICK OF ME
@@cookiecrunch7193 Same
"And there is little of me left that could care about dousing the wildfire"
It's been 5 years since I've talked to my father. 6 since I've been in that house. The one I grew up in. He has no one left in his life. "I left you alone in a house and not a home". I feel guilty for that, but I also know he did this to himself. He's the one that abused me.
I told him if he just apologized I'd be willing to forgive. But he won't change.
"Mey hair filled with gray " the memories still cover me like ash, and full my lungs.
I love how her songs are about some of the characters in mha and they still sound literally amazing
I imagine Bianca D'Angelo singing this to Nico after she died and it's makes me wanna sob 😭
It’s to late to be sobbing 😭😭😭
The anthem of the Dabi redemption arc
I don’t even go to this fandom but I can tell how much depth this character has and potential they have
This is the song that finally made me decide I'm going to ask to keep my little sister. I can't leave her there.
Yep, this is definitely gonna be my new hyper fixation song 🤌🤌🤌🤌
This song reminds me of my brother who unfortunately passed when he was a baby today is his birthday and I haven’t heard it for awhile but it popped up in a random mix today it was definitely a sign rest in peace big bother ❤
bro, I'm crying. this hits so hard. I havent read the manga or seen the obvious spoilers, but this has so much emotion behind the words and just the pure way Madds sings it. Excellent job 😭👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Although the song seems to be made for Dabi from MHA, I can't help but picture the relationship of Azula & Zuko from Avatar in it. Fits perfectly with the tone, blue flames & a declining mental health themes
crying shaking sobbing
LITERALLY SAME
THE LAST VERSE! Omg...I'm literally crying
Fuck... I have no clue how many times I've heard this already, and it makes me tear up EVERY single time. Thank you so much for this masterpiece of a song! Dabi has always been one of my favourites so this song and the latest chapter is making me ugly cry!
I can't tell you how often I listen to this, as a older sibling who left younger siblings in an abusive situation and now wach them be hurt because of it.
I listen to this every time I try and get them out every time I have to face my abuser hoping it'll do anything to save them in the long run but knowing she will hurt them the moment she gets home
This song has helped so much I've screamed it, I've signed it, I've cried at each lyric, thank you for this song
Daaamn that last chorus hits *different*. Goosebumps. I never would have guessed its a fan song
I thought this had dabi vibes and I'm reading the comments and noticing this is actually a dabi fan song? That's so cool
Gonna be listening to this on repeat for a while!
AHHHH SAME I LOVE IT I AM ALREADY SINGING ALONG
Same!
Sure the cover made me know it was dabi but even if I didn’t see it I would if known it was dabi singing to shoto because of how well the lyrics explained these two. Some of the parts were deep asf. You’re a lyrical genius 😭😭
*sorry for my English
omfg that guitar solo just iches my brain so good i just cant explain.
I LOVE IT SO MUCH, CONGRATS ON THE RELEASE MADDS!
ITS SO AMAZING
oh my god I just read the comments and realised this is an mha song i never even knew i just loved it
Sounds like such a sweet campfire song and i cant escape the idea of this in the context of the percy jackson universe
The fact that this fucking delectable tragically somber song came from a anime fandom is just….wow.
This is just so good. I adore it, its everything it needs to be and more.
Love this song so much, it’s so damn underrated.
this song is so awesome. ive been having a bad time these past few months, but now it feels like i can finally be a kid again
ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!! You did an amazing job ♡♡
RIGHT ITS BEAUTIFUL
Ive loved this song since it came out. Been reading along with the manga for years now. Knew this song was gonna F**K me up, when his backstory got officially animated. Just listened to it after watching the newest episode and Im a wreck. 😭💔
