- Sorry for such a long wait time, this one was particularly difficult to work with. Hopefully the results are worth it!

Lyrics:
Get ready for the river ride!
(Yeah!)
So, you’re the guy who’s got the world to win
I’ve got the skies on my side, let’s begin!
You’re not a bot who knows what hunger does.
I’m fighting drought and famine, worthy cause!
Dust in the fields, locusts, and low yields
Climate denies, rain from the dead skies
So I’ve decided on letting the waters rise
(It’s basic agriculture, kid, you reap what you sow!)
Hey, it’s a pesticidal policy
Fly on the wall, I’ll squash you! Wait and see!
After you’ve croaked, it’s back to better days!
Acres of plenty by my vital rains!
Dust in the fields, locusts, and low yields
Climate denies, rain from the dead skies
So I’ve decided on letting the waters rise
(Well, well, well, looks like one of us is jumping to conclusions!)
I have design in mind a world to feed!
Crops for the hungry people left in need
I bring the desert rains and cure the ill
You are a child soldier, taught to kill!
Dust in the fields, locusts, and low yields
Climate denies, rain from the dead skies
So I’ve decided on letting the waters rise
I appreciate the frog puns. Another good one. I must say, you always find good ways to make use of the more rhythmically _intense_ songs in Mega man. It's really well done.
something i find incredibly interesting about your mega man 4 series and this video in particular is that toad man seems to be the only cossack robot master to have absolutely zero idea of what's going on, choosing instead to gloat about his accomplishments rather than recognize that he's being used for a malicious purpose
bright man recognizes it: "the man behind the lies, victimized"
drill man seems to get the general idea: "that cat is coming to kill us all in our cage"
pharaoh man seems wistful about it: "when something precious, something you love becomes a pawn in the hand of the hound"
ring man is actively fighting against it: "this bloody game that we've been forced to play, the blackmail and the shame, the man in shadows holding the ace"
dust man doesn't seem to like anyone involved: "no matter which one wins, when we have lost our limbs, can we absolve our sins?"
admittedly, dive man doesn't seem to have a clue either, instead focusing on a different problem (humans in general)
however, skull man is probably the most angry at everyone, much like dust man but cranked up to 11: "i'm cossack's son, don't remind me, but wily's hatred defines me now"
which leaves toad man and to a lesser extent dive man, both of whom are a bit out of place
very interesting
Makes sense with how much of a push over he is in
High Quality stuff here. Loving the lyrics :)
I was just thinking about this series earlier, so this was well timed!! XD
I like the little bits of dialogue in between the singing a lot!!!
And it's alright that it took longer, take as much time as you want to make these!!
I think it’s mostly due to how the melodies are constructed. Due to the limitations of the earlier games they had to be more intricate to keep up melodic interest. Luckily the other themes are more chord based!
The lyrics are really good, the time you took definitely shows! If I can say something, the only criticism I have here are that the vocals are slightly... muffled, would be the right word? Like something in me feels like it's hard to hear. But yeah, nice work on this!
Of course! I’m always looking to get better. I suspect it’s a problem with my mixing, I’ve run into a similar problem on a few other songs as well. I do sincerely appreciate the feedback and will keep it in mind going forward with Drill Man!
@@KazeRyve Alright! So you're going reverse of the weakness order, then. Really liked the lyrics, definitely felt like it humanized Toad Man.
Muy buen tema, felicitaciones!
HSAKAAAAA OH MU GOD IT'S INCREDIBLE??? I've been looking for vocal covers of Megaman songs for a long time now, so seeing them makes me very happy! But if I may, can I ask if you'll make covers of X songs?
Thank you!! I’m mainly focusing on classic, but if there’s a song or two you’d want to request I’d be happy to give it a shot after I finish the mm4 lineup!
@@KazeRyve If I could request Boomer Kuwanger and Storm Eagle, that'd be awesome. Can't wait for more MM4 songs as well!! :>
@@KazeRyve What about 9 or 10?
Beatiful.
viewitful Chelsea : a toad'gotta do what a toad'gotta do
Wow, you're really good!
NICE!!!
Great
So would it be appropriate if I asked how you record and edit these kind of videos?
I use garage band for the music and Sony Vegas for the video. I make the edits of the official artwork as well!
It would be awesome if you decided to make your own versions of the mega man 3 robot masters, I was never entirely satisfied with the megas songs of them.
And p l e a s e do Mega man 5 ones too.
I’m prolly not gonna do mega man 1-3 because that’s pretty familiar territory for a lot of people. I’d prefer to do things that haven’t been done before, y’know?
@@KazeRyve Mega Man 3 and 7 are my favourites
