The harmonies and vocal effects on this track are literally the coolest i have ever heard plus the glide on the lead is just beautiful. Absolutely haunting. Marvelous. Incredible. Not to mention the visuals could not possibly fit the song any better. Don't ever stop making art.
As someone who had experience the teenage years, at the right place & the right time to see the late rise, peak, fall of SoundCloud. You sparked something in me that is special to me.
The production on this is just exquisite. This must take ages to put together and tweak just right. Gao's music makes me feel like I'm getting good value out of my headphones, man!
I'll always fuck with your music and your producing is just on point, it makes me feel things I never thought I could feel emotions I didn't even know existed
@@gaothearsonist you’ll never understand what your music means to me sadly, because even if I explained, it wouldn’t do it justice. Please don’t stop creating, please.
@@gaothearsonistDead Leaves has a hypnotic vibe and you manipulate the track in some really cool ways, chopping it up and freezing for impact, and it slaps! I think Right Between the Eyes is gonna be on repeat basically forever now though 😆

Dude, did u read your comment? With lyrics that describes how you view your life. So what did you take from this song? You made absolutely no sense saying that crap. He talking about battling within himself suicide or being hurt, or something.
@@TheDynamicDudesmy bad bro. I just really hated that response. Your comment made it seem you understood what he was expressing. Then it sounded like you were being a smart@$$ for no reason. But I'm sorry, no hate here.
Among all the artists roaming social media you're the second one to catch my heart. This is pure heat for my soul drowning in winter's bliss. +1 follower
I've said it before, but Gao's lyrics work on their own as poetry, you could pull out the music and they stand well on their own, and it feels almost like the track is built around the words instead of the words built around the track. It's really cool.
“Im not cheating death, im just baiting god” BRO SHI GOES SO HARD

Best discover of this year, unique musical world, insane production/ sound design, high replay value
The artistery is unmatched
Out of this world

Finally this piece of art is out. Fire from the Arsonist as usual.
Can't provide anything else
He's called the arsonist cause he makes fuckin fire

been there
Appreciate it before life happens
20-28 seconds in you are evolving brother that flow was something else....
beat production on all your songs go crazy
That means a lot to me dude. I'm as much a producer as I am a vocalist
this is the best album i‘ve heard in a long time. Amazing work
*going into 2024 with a new underrated artist is a highlight in my life ngl*
I'm from Cameroon 🇨🇲 i listen a lot of Hip hop all around the world... u one of the best on this planet
Found your webtoon comic, which lead me to your spotify, and goddamn I have to say that all of your art audio and visual is absolutely amazing
The vocal effect on the "you will have to" has me in a trance i swear
Can't even begin to describe how fucking good this sounds 💚💚🙏🏽
The production on this is just exquisite. This must take ages to put together and tweak just right. Gao's music makes me feel like I'm getting good value out of my headphones, man!

Does he produces his own music?
@@sebastianchavarria4976 Yeah. He does it all
My God man, this is amazing. It's not easy to find an artist like you. I hope you get more exposure and blow tf up.

Gao the G, We must5 cultivate the community
Ah damn, this rivals Dead Leaves for me. IT HITS DIFFERENT!
It's so interesting to me that Dead Leaves is so many people's fav
@@gaothearsonistDead Leaves has a hypnotic vibe and you manipulate the track in some really cool ways, chopping it up and freezing for impact, and it slaps! I think Right Between the Eyes is gonna be on repeat basically forever now though 😆
I cant stop thinking of this songgg its so goood!!!
yes its finally out i love it. been listening on repeat since it dropped
You will be physically unable to stop unless I break the curse
Arsonists all around truly people of class
i've been listening to this a few times a day since i found it, really good
Dude. Its so crazy!
Zotiyac and earl sweatshirt mix type shit, love the sound
I have NEVER heard a song that describes my taste in music with lyrics that describe how i view my life as well as this one does, this is just nuts
What is he talking about?
@@kylenewsome8439 I made a breakdown of why I relate to this song on such a visceral level just for myself but ill share it cause you asked. if you meant the actual lyrics, its on the video.

"Never really tried too hard to stay alive
Always said I saw my own life cut short
Threw caution to wind with the coal ash"
(This was my exact mentality for many years, I was really focusing on my death for so long, not suicidal but overly excepting of my inevitable death to the point of unhealthy behavior)

"You would have to hit me right between the eyes
I'd pay good money just to see you try
Bet you can't shoot straight, huh
Bet you can't shoot straight, bet you can't- (Ha-ha-ha-ha)
You don't have to get someone to hold me still
I won't move a muscle for your trophy kill
Bet you can't shoot straight, huh

I don't wanna die, I just wanna pause
Got close through trial and error, now the blood soaked through the gauze
I'm standing here unscathed, but you weighed it wrong
I'm not cheating death, don't you see? I'm baiting God"
