- This song was considerably more hip-hoppy in the beginning. But colorpopalways finds a way. It took a lot of work to get it to the point it's at today but I'm really happy with how it turned out !!

Tessellate, Our Little World, No More Eight Bit and Lighthouse are just start to end bangers, glad we got as much music as we did out of this project!
Even now the song is still something I listen to.
Not as much anymore but definitely occasional.
Oh, we are nearly there
Are going anywhere?
Cause there's a special touch
Like I know that you care
Just think about it
And I know I'm lying so
When they close down you'll feel free to take your time
To those wondering what the lyrics for the part at 2:58 is I did a bit of research and the closest I got to the full thing is this:
(??)
By going anywhere
'Cause there's a special touch like I know that you care
Just keep the thought in mind
I know I'm blind
So with that close your mouth and breathe and take your time
If anyone can discern what the first line may be you get +100 internet points. Cheers!
+TheLoyalBro
Are we not anywhere?
Not going anywhere
'Cause there's a special touch when I know that you dare
Just keep that thought it mind, I know I'm blind,
So when the clothes come off feel free to take your time
That's what I've always thought it was. By the way, have you uncovered the hidden narrative behind the album? I'm curious if I'm the only one, because I'm not really seeing anyone talk about it.
+dNıhıl Is there a hidden narrative? I've had a few inklings about there being one but never really thought about it that hard. As far as the lyrics go, I got mine from Daks' remix of the song. I guess they are more discernible there as opposed to the original? Or maybe Levels told him what they were? Yours work pretty well as well although I feel more inclined to side with the the Daks' ones since they fit a bit more into the phrase breaking the ice. Again though it could go either way. (Maybe this can be cleared up if +All Levels At Once sees this :P)
I am curious to what you think the hidden narrative is though!
+TheLoyalBro - Levels just gave a remix pack to all the artists remixing the songs for that album. He's even stated that he'd give stems to anyone who asks for them, though that was three years ago and I don't know if that's still applicable. He probably won't respond to this comment thread. Also, that remix slipped my mind because I don't listen to the remixes album that often, I forgot it included this section. It makes it easier to hear most of it, but it cuts off the first line, which may be why you were having trouble with that.
As far as the content: I see why you're inclined to say that-especially your last line, which I'm referring to-but it seems out of place to me. The song is not just about breaking the ice, for one thing. And that line seems to both not quite fit the lyrics, in my opinion, and also sounds strange to just say out loud as a sentence.
The one I came up with fits how I view the entirety of the album. I see the album as talking about the rise and fall of an abusive relationship (that's the "hidden narrative" I mentioned). This song, Icebreaker, is where he finally gets fully fed up with everything and cuts it off. This section is just a flashback to better times.
If you want me to fully explain to you the narrative, we can get on Skype or something and I can describe it for you. My Skype username is 'dontrodgers' if you want to add me there.
But we are leaving, they're
not going anywhere
'cause there's a special touch when I know that you care,
Just keep the thought in mind,
I know I'm blind
So when the gloves come off feel free to take your time
I'm quite confident with this:
?/a/ ?/wi/ are you beware?
I'm going anywhere
'Cause there's a special touch when I know that you dare
Just keep the thought in mind, I know I'm blind
So when the claws come out feel free to take your time.
for what it's worth, i listen to your songs for your vocals. you have a great voice man
i want the beginning made longer, That parts friggin awesome.
I think they mean like duets, collabs are not uncommon for singer songwriters, it helps both artists get some extra exposure and it changes things up a bit for both of them. Its also really good to learn to work closely with others in your projects.
Is it just me or is this song so amazing that it can be listened repatedly
TheGamingGoombah BETTER THAN AMAZING!!!
Probably my favourite along with Whitelie as well. Great album man :)
I love the fact that you sing all of this, making the tune, the lyrics, everything! You are an extremely talented person
Wow...bravo on defining who you are for yourself, rather then bending over backwards for the fandom. You have earned my respect, if that counts for anything. :-)
Best song on Tessellate in my opinion
~mysterious~
Definitely my favorite song on the album
Can't get it out of my head!!!
Best song on the album. While a collab would be pretty sweet, I'm happy as long as you keep delivering quality tracks. Well done!
I don't think you need another singer. You do an awesome job! Been following your music for a while. You've done well dude!
very good song people should stop complaining about your vocals their really good :)
I'm pretty sure they're referring to stock vocal loops used for house records. I do prefer to work alone though
I think this is my fave song, The Chorus is just so catchy ^^
I love this song!! It's soo catchy! :D
I just LOVED this song =D
still listening :D
Still listening?
Definitely my favourite song of Tessellate!
How many time I've been listening to it... by day ? ^^
Still listening haha I heard it over 10.000 times
This song crushes ¯︶¯
I think what they're saying is that they'd be interested in a collaboration. Owl City teamed up with Carly Jepsen, after all :) . If you prefer to work alone, that's absolutely understandable!
oh my god totally Feather!!!! Please please please collab with Feather she is INCREDIBLE.
This song alone makes buying the album worth it.

i love this sooong3
That's not to say you can't collab with 2 sets of vocals. I always enjoy the new creative avenues in lyrics when you introduce a second singer.
Ahh true, well i dont mind, you are a great singer :D
i love it! /)
did u ude the sound of sonic reaking a box from sonic 1-3 at 3:36?
this one is my favorite =D
I love your voice :3
so far my favorite song is still kupo :)
I can see what you mean. However, I'm sure you aren't shutting the door on any possible collaborations. And if it happens to be with some female vocalist then so be it.
Oh, and I've been listening to this album nonstop since I found out about you from SGAP's Remix. Love your work :)
I think you guys forgot what singer-songwriter means. I'm not an EDM artist. How odd would it be if Taylor Swift released an album where she got other girls to sing on each track instead of herself?
I'll take another cup of coffee please!
I took a little *TOO* much
Was that render error related to that random inverse flickering I pointed out on the last video? I rather liked it, because in a small way it fit the song. XD If it were more frequent, and lasted a bit longer, it would've been perfect for the video.
Seriously, does anyone know the lyrics at 2:58? They aren't listed on the lyrics page and it's driving me mad. I can't sing along! D:

Fucking LOVE this song. My personal favorite on your Tessellate album. :)

I NEED MORE COFFEE!!!
I think it'd still be fine to feature somebody on one of your tracks, that's not weird at all. Personally I think you can do whatever you want, but I'd like to point out that many non-EDM musicians feature certain people. And hey, you've had pony vocals on your songs before, it's similar.
what does he say at 2:58 - 3:13

I bought this album for $4 and I feel bad for paying so little since it ended up being really amazing. I thought I'd convince some friends to buy it but it's not really their thing so I might go back and buy it again =S
Ya, but even the best singer-songwriters (e.g. Kimya Dawson) do collabs with people.
Actually I think it's awesome that you are staying away from the "EDM Producer" stereotype. Because music is music, no matter what, and I'd say that someone who makes music should earn the title of "musician" rather than some austere thing like producer.
But yeah, I totally think that you could do an amazing collab. No idea who with though.
Oh, eww. If that's what they're thinking, I don't want any affiliation xD
Keep doing you, because you're fantastic!
It shows how much of a sheer nerd I am, but some of the lines reminded me of the game DanganRonpa.
Thats actually pretty true.
honestly this is even more relevant now. this song fits kikuchi to a T.
Kokichi*
2:58 - 3:13 What is being said? I can't quite make it out and the lyrics don't seem to even acknowledge that part.

I wouldn't know, I don't listen to that kind of music.
I suggested finding a female vocalist mainly in hopes for you to do a duet. That would be very fun to listen to.
There is a part of the song which is not in the lyrics.
Whenever u try to start talking with girl and it works, technicly u ar "Icebreaker"
hehe
I don't understand, explain? Anyone?
x_xonecrazedchildx_x Initiating conversation with someone for the first time or after any awkward silence is considered "breaking the ice".
Mostly manga fans and Ponies, :b everything normal...
Nah bro I don't like any of that shit... If i'm honest I don't know how i got here...
+That One Literally just remembered it was because of a cave story remix!
Just ask around some forums, I'm sure someone will volunteer.
perhaps some kind of duet?
You should ask RinaChan or Feather.
@halfsquad :: nobody knows
Does that mean you'll NEVER do a collaboration, or that you're just unlikely to do it?
Oh i see. I always thought of the vocals as just one small part of your music, and you just used your own voice because thats what was easiest.
not bad, i think you should introduce some new vocals in the future. maybe a female.
I'm not a female so I can't say the chances of that happening are very high, sorry!
Reading this 7 years later like what.
@@EVEMASTER99 👀
You're someone else
I"m still right here
...Aviators
Unfortunately whatever I tell you will probably be wrong.
=(
Well then you might have to change that. The fans demand you be a female, come on man. Don't wimp out on us! haha. Kidding of course.
Don't get Taylor Swift for love of god don't bring her
