    Text:
    The weak breeze whispers nothing
    The water screams sublime
    His feet shift, teeter-totter
    Deep breath, stand back, it’s time
    Toes untouch the overpass
    Soon he’s water bound
    Eyes locked shut but peek to see
    The view from halfway down
    A little wind, a summer sun
    A river rich and regal
    A flood of fond endorphins
    Brings a calm that knows no equal
    You’re flying now
    You see things much more clear than from the ground
    It’s all okay, it would be
    Were you not now halfway down
    Thrash back to break from gravity**
    What now could slow the drop
    All I’d give for toes to touch
    The safety from the top**
    But this is it, the deed is done
    Silence drowns the sound
    Before I leaped I should’ve seen
    The view from halfway down
    I really should’ve thought about
    The view from halfway down
    I wish I could’ve known about
    The view from halfway down
    *In the second bridge, I play an Emin briefly before the Cmaj as an error.
    **I messed up the lines here in the recording compared to the episode, the lines should be "Thrash to break from gravity" and "The safety back on top".

    I'm about 4 years too late for this, but for anyone still listening this song is now up on Spotify and all major streaming sites, link is in the bio! There still hasn't quite been any shows like BoJack since.

    I feel like halfway through the music could have gone more dramatic just like the tone secretariat got while he was reading the poem.

    This is outstanding man! Love how it gets more frantic as it goes along just like Secretariat's/Butterscotch's reading of the poem.

    • @MattEnters
      @MattEnters  4 роки тому +1

      Afraid I'm not sure of the copyright specifics to put it up on iTunes and Spotify since it's a derivative work, but I have put up a free download on my Bandcamp in the description though for folks to add it to their libraries!

    Eh, nice job making a catchy tune that people will remember but Im a bit disappointed. I feel this sort of missed the actual tone of the poem with the rhythmic pattern and chord progression choices. It comes across as a bit rushed and insincere. Just my two cents.

  • @brams7175

    • @FantasticAlbum77
      @FantasticAlbum77 4 роки тому +22

      Lol stop he isn't trying to "make it his" he's expressing the poem through a different medium. It's a different interpretation. People do that with art sometimes.

    • @brams7175
      @brams7175 4 роки тому

      bullshit "art" saying something is based on bojack horseman then just copying it to a dramatic tune is not art its the exact same thing hes just trying to jump on the hypetrain asap hoping it will blow him up or something

    • @brams7175
      @brams7175 4 роки тому

      right even though he barely wrote anything and the lyrics arent his but whatever, ive said all i wanted to say

    • @arianneikusa8160
      @arianneikusa8160 4 роки тому +11

      you are the "no fun allowed" kind of man. anyways a lot of art is basically taking something and making their own spin on it. this dude is doing that, and it's not like he's claiming that the poem is his so dont get your marbles in a twist
