This is a really beautiful song that hits close to home. I often feel like I'm always going to be alone, that I'm never going to find love, and I fear that the people who do care about me are just pretending out of pity. I know it's irrational and untrue, but it's hard to get rid of these thoughts.
I’m all about how this song builds the theme....I was listening live and I already knew it’s about fear of lovelessness, but the singer sounded like they’re overcoming that fear.....right? There were hints of doubt weaved in as the lyrics progressed.....then the ending literally gave me a chill when I realized that they were still very afraid....but they’re carrying on despite that fear.....they’re still hopeful.... Bravo. You always know how to deliver feeling in your music
Yknow, I always come back to this song. The chill vibe mixed with the scarily relatablility for me gives a truly unique 2am experience. Call it a bit of an over share, but I'm someone who's never really been in a relationship nor has really ever gotten the opportunity. And the end of this song really speaks to me. My friends always say "fake it til you make it" but I don't see the point if it's inauthentic.
Yeah, that's kind of the idea. 💖 Having a good mindset is important, but having a good mindset isn't going to resolve every problem. Sometimes you just have to be honest. 💔
I just realized... at the end, when Avanna(?) vanishes, the vocals are a little bit different. What if that's the "wishing well" part... like the "echos" of what the person actually feels but ALSO what the wishing well hopes for Avanna(?) to achieve in the future (actual self-love). This song is genius, in any case. I love the messages all of your songs send! This one is especially pertinent and relatable to me, haha.
This song is so chill. It's been playing in mind since the Specters Crossfade and it's a really good earworm to have. My favorite part is that "oooh" at 0:24 It gets me every time.
So I didn't know who Avanna was before this song. Just found out she was the voice used in the Porter Robinson song Sad Machine which I always thought sounded vocaloid but I didn't know whose voice it was. Now I know. Also.she has an adorable character design, and a pleasant voice. Excited to find more works using her! Also this song was beautiful! 😍
As a fan of Porter Robinson as well, I was also pleasantly surprised when I found out he used Avanna. She's definitely my favorite Vocaloid, because of all the qualities you mentioned. One good Vocaloid Producer who uses her well consistently is Lauren Estes, I encourage you to check out their channel if you want more good Avanna works:)
Dang this is a great song. The lyrics do a spectacular job of portraying the path to self-acceptance after a break-up and the beat goes along with them amazingly. All the thumbs-up! I love it! 👍
This is so good!!! I love everything about this song, and the lyrics really hit home with me for multiple reasons (having multiple mental health issues that make me worry that people hate me and having to remind myself that people actually like me; being aromantic and not wanting to be in a relationship; feeling painfully lonely for such a long time, etc.). I’m really excited for specters to come out now (not that I wasn’t already excited, but you know).
This song feels so nostalgic tbh. :”) It reminds me so much of Half-Life, which has been one of my absolute favorite songs since I was a young teen. I’m almost 21 now and still enamored by your use of Avanna! She always sounds so full of feeling and some melancholic kind of gracefulness when you use her. Thank you for such a beautiful song!
Daaaamn, this showed up in my Spotify randomly and I immediately loved it. The depth of the instrumental is gorgeous and the vocaloid really fits into it!!! (Also omg CircusP was involved)
This song is just incredible. Objectively, it sounds fantastic. I love the mixing on Avannas voice (and I totally love Avanna flat out) and the lyrics are just so aaaAAAAA GAWDAMB. I'm still getting over a breakup of a relationship with someone who was my everything, then suddenly- Not my everything. Not feeling love anymore, and not for an obvious reason... Even now I still don't know what happened. And even now I still can't feel that romantic love and desire for someone. I miss it so much... I just pray it actually returns to me in the future. I feel so much gratification in having a loving relationship, and so hollow without one. The lyrics very well encapsulate my own feelings in a way that's a little jarring. It's not relatable on a vague or even 50% level. I feel like this song has a direct line to my got damn soul. The last lyrics of "Yeah I can love myself, but I'm waiting for you" honestly keeps me fucking going...
All your music makes me feel nostalgic, I don't listen to Avanna much but her usage here is so incredible. And I love that she was the voice chosen because she rocks the vibe of the song so well.
This is great! This might be a weird compliment but the mix is soooo good, it inspires me to go back to my wips and tear them apart to try improving my mixing/mastering! Lol
My gosh this song is just so beautiful. I think a lot of people will be able to connect with this song seeing as our society these days can be really harsh, so that sense of wanting someone to love you but having to come to terms with the unlikelihood of getting that and having to learn to love oneself is ever present in a lot of us. I know it's definitely something I experience a lot as well, and just like this song portrays it oftentimes isn't enough to make us feel content. Love this song Lupin!
This has quickly become one of my favorite synthetic voice songs! Discovered your stuff from a mix here on YT, look forward to hearing more music from you! :D
with the long days and the long nights i'm mystified i'm here, walking sometimes following the moonlight where she goes ooh, i'm tired of conversations of your relations stuck in my mind cuz i've been hoping someone would be so kind... but if nobody will have me then i'll just have to love myself don't need nobody else to tell me right, bring me life, walk with me through hell just have to love myself don't need nobody else to tell me lies, compromise with a wishing well don't compromise, i might cry, but i'll love myself i'll take my time, toss a dime in the wishing well spend my time within a dream i'll write a page for every scene ooh, i'm tired of all the faces and all the traces of bitter blue stuck in my mind cuz i've been waiting for a long time but nobody will have me so i'll just have to love myself don't need nobody else to tell me right, bring me life, walk with me through hell just have to love myself don't need nobody else to tell me lies, compromise with a wishing well if what i'm faking is what i'm making then what am i waiting for? cuz i just have to love myself don't need nobody else i'll tell the lies, compromise with a wishing well hey, ooh... just have to love myself don't need nobody else to tell me right, bring me life, walk with me through hell just have to love myself don't need nobody else to tell me lies, compromise, oh, i'm wishing, but i don't have to love myself don't have to play pretend yeah i can love myself, but i'm waiting for you... ooh...
When vocaloid transcends well-tuned robotic voices to sounding bad singers that layers too much heavy autotune. Ya know they coming to take over the world.
@@nostraightanswer That I'm high. But I wanted to say something along the lines of they sound more realistic. Cos last time they just sound robotic. Now they could brush off as a human singing but with autotune.

this is me on a daily basis
DON'T WORRY LUPIN WE LOVE YOU AND THIS SONG
Sounds lovely. The lyrics flow well. I especially enjoy the beat, great job Lupin! :D I'll be adding this to my playlist.
One of the better Engloid songs in a while. Seriously good work here.
your songs are seriously underrated

Ah, she sounds so nice in this song! It's really impressive, since she can sound super weird pretty easily.

This song is so chill. It's been playing in mind since the Specters Crossfade and it's a really good earworm to have. My favorite part is that "oooh" at 0:24 It gets me every time.
two lonely souls could work on things by themselves.
their meeting, however, could make it all much easier.
until then, this is a virtual hug.
So I didn't know who Avanna was before this song.

I freaking love this track. Can’t stop replaying it. xx
Thank you so much!!
Haven't gotten the chance to hear this song till now and it makes me realize how much I need this ✌
avanna sounds so velvety here
This song got me I’m crying 😢 it remind me how much pain I went tho in life this song is beautiful man keep it up
This gives me “Moving on from The Past” vibes
Looking forward to hearing it, it sounds like it’ll be a very emotional song judging by the description. I’m also looking forward to your next album!
This is so good!!! I love everything about this song, and the lyrics really hit home with me for multiple reasons (having multiple mental health issues that make me worry that people hate me and having to remind myself that people actually like me; being aromantic and not wanting to be in a relationship; feeling painfully lonely for such a long time, etc.).

i am listening to this the whole day. I LOOOOOVE songs that has some kind of story underneath like this one.
The hype intensifies as we wait
do u ever listen to a song and it resonates with u so strongly that u start tearing up? asking for a friend

This straight up made me cry. I need this as a personal anthum.
I really like this song, it helps me get over my tough times when I feel like no one is there to help me. Thank you!
Having a bit of a bad night.. but thank you, this really helped to calm me down, I appreciate your hard work 😊👍
Wow, I love it! In particular the second chorus, where the tempo changes, as if the girl is finally starting to believe in herself and have some hope.
Nice

Thank you.
This is so good 💙 it’s got an awesome atmosphere
Ngl, I got scared midway through this song. I thought someone had whistled at me . . Turns out it was just part of the song 😤😭
Oh, whoops! 😅 Ah, sound design...
Holy shit, this is amazing! Avanna has such a beautiful voice and she fits this song and especially the music very well! Amazing job this is amazing
catchiest English vocaloid track I’ve ever heard excellent production
Wow. quite lucky tbh. was looking up how avanna sounds like, and this was like uploaded not too long ago. Very quality music.
I didn't know how much I needed this song. Thanks.
It's mellow and reliable, sound and stable song. It's very attractive and elegant song!!!!

with the long days and the long nights
i'm mystified i'm here, walking sometimes
following the moonlight where she goes
ooh, i'm tired of conversations
of your relations
stuck in my mind
cuz i've been hoping someone would be so kind...
but if nobody will have me then i'll
just have to love myself
don't need nobody else
to tell me right, bring me life, walk with me through hell
just have to love myself
don't need nobody else
to tell me lies, compromise with a wishing well
don't compromise, i might cry, but i'll love myself
i'll take my time, toss a dime in the wishing well
spend my time within a dream
i'll write a page for every scene
ooh, i'm tired of all the faces
and all the traces of bitter blue
stuck in my mind
cuz i've been waiting for a long time
but nobody will have me so i'll
just have to love myself
don't need nobody else
to tell me right, bring me life, walk with me through hell
just have to love myself
don't need nobody else
to tell me lies, compromise with a wishing well
if what i'm faking is what i'm making
then what am i waiting for? cuz i
just have to love myself
don't need nobody else
i'll tell the lies, compromise with a wishing well
hey, ooh...
just have to love myself
don't need nobody else
to tell me right, bring me life, walk with me through hell
just have to love myself
don't need nobody else
to tell me lies, compromise, oh, i'm wishing, but i
don't have to love myself
don't have to play pretend
yeah i can love myself, but
i'm waiting for you... ooh...
we love you so dont cry
Shit I actually cried when listening to this
Omg yesssssss i love it shjdjdj
this song reminds me of "courage" i dont know why though
I think you should do a self-cover of this one Lupin. 🐺
Style Porter Robinson 👍👌😉😍
