![[MV] Red - Calliope Mori #HololiveEnglish #HoloMyth (REACTION)](/img/n.gif)
She has a stream where she breaks down the song line by line and basically the song is about her being conflicted about the sudden success and fame she’s facing. She had friends before it and now they look at her like she just got handed something and maybe it felt unfair…She used to wish for the success but now that she has it, her friends have alienated her and in a way she portrays herself like the villain in the story leaving everyone else behind. Then she talks about how she shouldn’t feel like she should be sad because she did hope and pray for this but in the end she just wishes her friends were more “proud of her” for the success instead of comparing themselves.
Thanks for reacting scru, love the vids and I hope you do great things 👌
maybe it also has to do with her saying she auditioned for hololive as a joke and didn't tell her friends but when she got in she felt guilty and told them that although she auditioned as a joke, she got in, and I think her friends were considering auditioning for hololive but decided no to because there was no point (thats why she mainly meant it as a joke) but yeah, here she is now.
It's written to be vague on purpose, she does that so more people can relate to the overall feelings. But yeah, basically this. She specifically cried when she said "I wish just one of them would say 'proud of you' or something, ya know?"
that part of the stream really tugged at my heart. i think it resonated with more people than just me, who have done something they were proud of and they just wanted their family or friends to be proud too, and were instead met with discontent or just no response at all. her response brought back some deep memories for me, but it was also sort of refreshing to see that even very successful people deal with it. its nice to know we don't have to struggle alone in that area. i hope some day she and the rest of us can put that stuff behind and really take advantage of the opportunities put in front of us without the guilt.
The way she almost failed to keep it together when she said "I just wanted them to be proud of me, y'know...?" hit hard. The quiver in her voice was really sad, and I tear up thinking about it.
Which stream was this? Can you link to it please?
Feels like shes talking about her previous character setup, both as an artist, and the "character" she played to try and fit in alongside the underground Jrap she enjoyed.
Playing a Demon trying to roll that dice of infinite possibilities and choices
@@elkaidred0512 yeah, and also just her persona in the underground scene amongst her "friends".
Yeah, she said on stream that this song is a reminder of her struggles and her hope for recognition from her past peers (mentors, colleagues and friends).
@@elkaidred0512 see what u did there, props
There are some absolute bangers by demondice, scru really needs to react to them cause alot are straight 🔥
Calli said that she wants us to interpret the meaning to all of her songs in our own way. But she explains that this song is something personal, where she reminisces the old times where she looked up to people (which is probably people she got along w/ in the underground Jrap scene) as heroes. But as her popularity rises up, she's considered a "sell-out" by her old peers and heroes. Now she's the "villain" of the story. But she enjoys what she does, she's doing good work, she's financially stable, and she's reaching people. So she feels bad about being successful, but if she stayed where she was, she probably never would have made it either. Which explains the lines at 10:37 & 11:36
When I first listened to this song, the way I interpret this song is that it's a shared reality. Which is something that many songs nowadays struggle to express. 5:21 The song is about us, as us: us as our everyday selves beneath the indifferent masks that we adorn; us as our forgotten selves tethering above the riddles of societal norms; us as our unfulfilled selves stuck between a monochromatic world we can’t color and the world we want to stain with the hues we keep locked in our hearts. 2:12 Feels like I don't exist. 7:24 Without having a purpose, I'm unable to love and appreciate the simplest joys in my daily stupor. We can't help but reminisce a lot since it's one of the few ways we could encapsulate emotions. 15:59 Nothing lasts forever and life is bittersweet.
She's also talked before about her own attitude - she used to have an entirely different view about "idol culture". She can't blame anyone else for seeing her as the villain because past-her would have probably had the exact same reaction to present-her.
And what was heavy is even all these where her heroes sees her as a villain she only wanted validation from those she considered heroes.
@@roryschussler I don't think she is blaming them, just lamenting that it ended up this way when it really didn't have to.
As an aside I hate how anyone who finds success is a "sell-out" for being recognized for their talent.
@@Fanimati0n Right, that's what I meant. She's not mad at her old friends who don't think as highly of her. And even if they are being unfairly judgemental, they're only being judgemental in a way that she knows she might have been in another life where things worked out differently.
MASSIVE Dead Beat here, Calli is one of my favorite creators. I just wanna say I really really appreciate how seriously you take her work. A lot of ppl write her off the second they see the character. "oh shes just an anime girl" type of shit. But shes very clearly a professional writer, rapper, singer. I love how you are always so excited to hear her stuff and give it the respect it deserves even thought you two are from two totally different sides of the spectrum. Thanks a lot Scru. Your respect of Calli and her incredible work has made me a fan! Big Ups!
Mad facts, Jack!
Well I mean, that would just be stupid, she's a decently known rap artist first before the Calli persona. Questioning anything someone does based on looks is always stupid. Look at Baby Metal lol
For me, anime is anime, song is song, doesnt matter what character or who it is, a good song is a good song. Never judge a book by its cover.
@@livingphantom Most people don't think that way, sadly.
Cali did a breakdown of her lyrics. The crux of the song was that Cali had some people she looked up to and was friends with, but had gone their separate ways from her as she gained some success.
And worse than that, she's dealing with the guilt of feeling like artists that in her mind, are more talented than her, don't see the same success. And some people's jealously tore their friendship apart, only adding to her guilt. Part of her feels like she could have kept those relationships if she didn't become as successful as she is, but at the same time, she wouldn't be able to forgive herself if she let her opportunity pass her by.
It's a clash of conflicting emotions of enjoying the chance to have her music be heard as far out as it does, while missing the things she lost as a result.
Yeah. At least one of those relationships is defined by it's toxicity - especially when taking into account one of those she looked up to got major growth because of something she did for them.
@@orbitanddecay4380 can you be more specific? I’m always interested to know more about her story.
@@drirrefutable2180 As specific as I cna be without breaking the fabe. Shes mentioned she does enjoy animatying, and it was her animation that propelled one artist -- same artist wrote a song detailing how that felt, to be eclipsed by the animation that was tongue in cheek, and theres other comments by calli, by the other person, and other things that push towards it.
Sometimes you gotta do you cause if we succeed and people can't be happy about that, it's too much of a baggage to constantly care. It's different if calli became someone else and didn't help people that supported her.
@@orbitanddecay4380 I don't think it's "Defined by it's Toxicity" seeing as she retweets tons of his stuff on her old twitter. In fact she did so only a month or so ago
Musically, I think is Calli's best song. It's crazy how good I think the production on it is. This song could be a mainstream hit compared the her more indie sounding stuff imo.
Its definitely fantastic even if some her work as dice i like anit more
yeah, I like a lot of Calli's songs, and I think a lot of her songs have deeper meaning, but this one's on a whole nother level.
Scru, it's honestly mind blowing how you are able to figure out these songs so accurately without any of the background information that us deadbeats have. I watched a whole stream where she broke down these lyrics, and I understood the song thanks to that, then I watch you waltz in and completely reverse engineer the song in one sitting and somehow get the same information completely on your own. I almost wish you could catch a clip or two of that stream, just to be shocked at how accurate you are. I mean I seen a lot of your vids now, and your music is great, so it's not a surprise, but it's always a goddamn pleasure watching you just disassemble the music like this. Thanks for doing what you do, Scru.
Yes she's talking about her character in a sense. You're almost spot on with that. Basically her friends in the underground rap scene are her heroes. She wanted to come up and be a popular musician and have the fame just like them. But when she got offered this chance as calliope, a vtuber rapper working under a big company like Hololive, those friends seen it as her being HANDED her fame and not really working for it. They seen it as them having to put in HOURS of work and she took the easy route. She's said that all she wanted was for them to be proud of her and acknowledge that she's still doing hard work and she's still an artist.
To those "friends" I say, fold your thumb, fold your pinky, fold your index finger, fold your ring finger. This is my present to you.
Opportunities come and go and chances of them appearing is down to luck. Calli seized that opportunity the moment it appeared and he so called friends have no reason to judge her. That's sad.
"I guess … I just wanted some of them to be proud of me." Hearing her say that in her breakdown of this song broke my heart. I'm glad she's made real friends with the rest of the Hololive crew, and I know for sure all her Dead Beats are proud of her.
"When you feel it you know" is such a good description of this song. I could feel how genuine the emotions of this song is by how she was singing it
Something I haven’t seen anyone mention is that she is also talking about the death of the scene she used to belong to completely, with or without her… the ladder falling and shattering all the bars is COVID, killing the bars and killing the music itself
Yeah, that is probably my favorite line in the song. Just peak Calli layered imagery and metaphor. There is so much wrapped in that one line: the ladder to success she used falling, shattering the bars (rungs on the ladder); the other rappers "bars" being shattered as they give up on the dream; and the actual music scene as locations (bars) going under.
dicequeen di usually breaks down calli's songs super in depth as well but she also follows the whole vtuber scene (being one and all) so she has alot of insight on things and does bring up the whole covid thing killing the rap scene over there and even proposed that when it happened some of callis circle gave up on the dreams because of
Scru someone translated this reaction into Japanese (subtitles) so that Calli’s Japanese fans could listen to your breakdown, just wanted you to know you have some international fans
Link to the translated video?
Link please? I am looking but it is getting probably drowned in all other reaction videos.
@@razzildarkbrew1952 I found it. ua-cam.com/video/lVxAD0yqC3o/v-deo.html
@@ODDnanref I found it. ua-cam.com/video/lVxAD0yqC3o/v-deo.html
I don't know if the video Logic Gate found is the one you're talking about, but that's Chinese, not Japanese.
10:37 she broke that bar down on a stream where she is feeling upset that there are some rap artists she loves are in a sense looking down on her and she kinda wishes they were proud of her
Wow
ua-cam.com/video/2zmQbHNItjc/v-deo.html
Damn.
@@pokeTOS That feel when your usually stoic dad finally let's out a tear. Feels bad.
When I saw how much that shit upset her on stream I was fucking gutted emotionally. At least she has way better friends now.
Things I didn't expect to hear in this analysis: a reference to confirmation bias and being aware of your own use of it (what I spend 80% of my BS in Psych explaining to people nowadays). See I knew you knew your craft inside and out, but you're just a flat out introspective/intellectual dude too and I respect that. Always appreciate your breakdowns as a musician myself!
He knows we’re called deadbeats, he’s finally fallen down the rabbit hole.
He's known since like.. the 2nd song he reacted to lol
"guess who's... AAA elbow"
Scru changed his intro!
Watching your face go from being a thoughtful analyst of a song, to a music fan just vibing and enjoying the song was why I like watching your reactions.
I think you hit the nail on the head that it’s her relationship to her city, at least partly about that. Before she became a famous Vtuber by getting signed by Hololive which was her big break, she was an American girl struggling to make it as a rapper, alone as a foreigner in Tokyo, Japan.
And if you think about Tokyo, the labyrinth of lights, it’s a massive city even bigger than New York, you’re a white girl and don’t really fit in (Japan is not easy for foreigners to live in).
So while she’s enjoying her success, there’s probably a nostalgia for the struggling artist vibe from when she was trying to make it, which is a life she can never go back to now - that simple life of struggling artist, and the friends that she probably lost along the way to fame.
And then what happens when being a vtuber is no longer a thing? As a rapper on her own, is it over, or is her talent enough to keep making music without having to struggle alone?
Cali explains in her breakdown that the song is about her past and how she feels guilty for becoming so successful. She mentioned how she knew friends which she thought were more talented than her but were less successful and less famous.
*Almost like survivors guilt*
However she did mention the song is up to interpretation so when listening to her music please imagine it to be what you want. This is just how she thought of it
At least she still has Milky Queen
The corporate music world is a survival ground. Same with any other occupation. There are people who survive and thrive, and others who fall and fail.
"office is a coffin until off is where youre laid" is sneakily her best lyrics yet. I swear shes not just doing internal plus external rhymes shes rhyming 3-5 words per line during the whole section i have NO IDEA what her writing process is but i can only imagine how difficult that mustve been
the sheer density of it all is absolutely staggering. and she makes it sound so... normal somehow, while still coming across fantastic? i'm struggling to pin down exactly how to phrase it, but it's like... she does this so CASUALLY almost, it's her baseline. it's not exceptional for her to be like this, by the standards of her own music. it's exceptional in general, but with her it's somehow business as usual. example: this is probably my favorite song of hers and i have listened to it SO many times and the line you're talking about is one of the really slick parts, but honestly it didn't fully sink in until reading your comment just what an incredible example of the craft that one handful of words really is.
now i'm kinda just gushing at no one about this and rambling lmao, should quit while i'm ahead
(but how is she so goddamned GOOD though like WHAT-)
This is my favourite song of hers by a mile, it's so raw and transparent, and the instrumental is beautiful too. Makes me choke up every time I listen to it. The themes are so relatable: entering a new stage of life, having to leave behind friends and memories in order to move forward, wanting your heroes to be proud of you. Feelings of guilt, melancholy, and nostalgia. It's so well written. If you have the time, it's definitely worth checking out the stream where she breaks down the lyrics, it gets pretty reflective and emotional, and she paints a really compelling picture of what her old scene was like.
Also, it's worth pointing out that Jean mishears one line: "No use in making friends cuz in the end nobody sticks around" which is almost even more tragic than the interpretation that Jean gives. Like she's so used to people leaving that she stops trying completely. It's pretty heartwarming to compare that line to where she is now, surrounded by friends who are all working together and supporting each other.
Nice reaction, glad you give Calli the breakdown that she deserves!
I get the feeling from this song that she really doesn’t know what to say to her old friends.
She became VERY successful VERY suddenly, it was almost definitely extremely overwhelming for her.
I don’t like to speculate about celebs personal lives bc that’s rude and invasive but the impression I’ve gotten from what she has said to us is that she used to be a teeny tiny performer rapping for a crowd of 50 people, half of which weren’t paying attention, and she had a small group of friends in the same boat.
But then she auditioned for some company that most people haven’t heard of and didn’t expect much to come of it, but they signed her on and then she debuted with TENS OF THOUSANDS OF LIVE VIEWERS and she BLEW THE FUCK UP. Nobody expected her to explode like she did. I can imagine all of those friends probably felt hurt and thought she was a sellout or something.
She was quoted saying, about this song, ‘I just wanted some of them to be proud of me, and it just didn’t happen.’
Basically, she drastically surpassed all of her former friends/peers, sort of by accident, and likely felt *extremely guilty* about it. And I cannot *possibly* imagine how confusing and conflicting all those feelings are.
Really all you can do with feelings like that is put them in song.
Scru you gotta react to the lyrical breakdown she did, i really feel you would like it!
Ayyy here he is!
I love these breakdowns. This guy is so passionate about music and he clearly has a lot of knowledge/wisdom. This channel should be twice as big, not that its doing bad.
Other Deadbeats correct me if I’m wrong, but I seem to recall Calli mentioning before that she did indeed used to write poetry when she was younger. Even possibly won a contest for it unless I’m getting the story mixed up with someone else’s.
For what I remember on Calli's stream, it is about her struggles in the past and her wanting the recognition of her peers, whether it be everyone from Hololive (Including the Graduated Coco), her friends outside of Hololive, and possibly her life before Hololive. In a sense, she's reflecting on everything.
Which is really sad to me, because I'd consider her to one of Hololive's big 3 (as in 3 of the most important things). Gura has the most subs, Pekora has the highest viewer retention, & Callie has the highest amount of superchats. She by all means deserves all of the recognition in the world for her hard work
Calli's genre of music has never been my cup of tea but even I can't deny the talent she has for her craft.
This is my first time hearing this song and it is straight up hitting me O_O
I knew you'd love this one, this is my favorite out of all her songs and even all of demondice's songs. The singing, the instrumental, the beat, the rapping, and especially the lyrics are all just fire and its one of the most raw and introspective tracks she's done. It feels like the actual person just spilling her heart to us about something extremely raw instead of the character Calli talking to us like usual, it feels a bit more real. This could be on the radio and no one would question it.
I mean, when you look at it, that's really what it is, the only thing that really connects this song to her reaper persona is the animation and the title, but the rest is honestly just telling her (the person behind the persona) story and her feelings. That's why she got so choked up when she broke down the lyrics on stream. You can really feel how close and personal this one is
Interestingly, Calli did explicitly say that part of her goal for this song was to keep interpretations vague. She wanted this to mean something a bit different for each person listening to it.
Really happy to see you break this down, man! Thank you!
Honestly I keep watching all of your Calli reacts multiple times. I love the breakdown, and I love how much you seem to enjoy the music. Somehow it makes me enjoy it more in return.
Thanks, man.
Note that the beat in the background on occasion is that of the train bell when it arrives in Japan. Meaning it's about going home to your normal life.
Singing Calli is my favorite Calli by far as well. This one hit a real good bone.
Good christ finally. Was waiting for eternity.
edit: Thank you for giving this the real breakdown it needed.
You called it a number of reactions ago. It sucks watching people just bob their head up and down for a few minutes.
Deadbeats appreciate you man. Your new album's 🔥 btw.
yooo let's go great breakdown as always, it's actually basically pinpoint accurate, very impressive
Others have already broken it down, but she definitely deliberately writes her songs to be abstract enough to allow others to find their own meaning. This song just happens to be one she went into a LOT more depth than usual about the personal experiences that informed the lyrics.
Calli isn't a professional vtuber who just happens to make music, she's a professional musician who just happens to be a vtuber.
I LOVE this song but I find it so hard to listen to because it always ALWAYS hits me.
I’ve never been able to listen to it without needing to pull out the tissues. Even with 8bit Drummer’s cover. Even just the first 30 seconds makes me cry. I’m only 3 minutes into the video as I type this but I’m already crying.
I’m so thankful for her. For all the sacrifices she had to make to get where she’s at now, for her to become Our Mori.
A' yo, thanks for recognizing that leap in "at the top of our lungs", that is seriously one of the most difficult things you can do as a singer. That leap is a minor 7th coming of the heels of an octave leap and it is seriously so impressive, especially when done in a soft melodic tone of voice. It's actually crazy.
I do feel you kinda missed a bar, though. You reacted to the "feel blessed you got it made" but right before that is "stop the pity party, listen you don't get to be dismayed, you don't get to be emotional". I feel the part of "feel blessed" is more to do with the idea that you can't be sad or feel regret when you're successful. Not hating on your breakdown, just felt like you missed the lines leading up to that.
Every time I watch these sorts of reactions, I always feel grateful to the person reacting because I get to have a better understanding of the song than before and I like it because I get to enjoy the song more now that I know how much effort and talent was put into the song.
One of the best Scru Face reactions. He has little context and he probably gathered more meaning from this than me in my first listen
Been waiting for this. LOVE your breakdown of it, and that little moment where everything finally clicks and you're like "yeah that's it" was awesome. Great stuff, dude.
I honestly love the way Scru breaks things down and the emotion behind everyone of his videos. Not to mention his music is just straight 🔥🔥!
On 4:30, I think you got the lyrics wrong. The lyrics says "no use in trying to find friends, 'cuz in the end nobody sticks around". Meaning she's not trying to look for a friend. That's why the "but" you are trying to suggest will not fit and the " 'cuz " is just right.
THE KING CAME AND FULFILLED THE REQUEST. Thanks for the reaction Scru! May you have a wonder time in the future
This one of my favorite Scru Face Jean reactions man. 10/10 breakdown for a 10/10 song from a 10/10 artist to me. Took some time to get here but Scru always delivers.
it is really cool to see her progression in the style of music
She’s growing, that makes it interesting to see
One of her realest songs ever, new or old
i love the fact that we all get the chills during the the first 20 seconds of the song
Ahhhhh this song, the reason I didn't finish listening to this song because it makes me cry.
Amazing job as always scru! I always look for your video for a reaction since you actually explain your own point of view, and never judged a book by its cover but rather judge by what you see and hear. MUCH LOVE!
Been waiting for this breakdown. I watched Calliope's entire lyric deep dive and I still feel like I picked up on some angles I hadn't thought of from your video.
I HIGHLY recommend checking out Calliope Mori's new album PHANTOMIME. It's her best work yet!! Just released days ago.
Been waiting for this since it dropped. I knew it was comin though, I had faith.
from what I understand part of the song is talking about how when covid hit in Japan all these bars and clubs that her and her friends used to rap and sing at ended up closing down, and these other people basically had to give up their music dream and get ordinary jobs just to keep afloat, while Calli has effectively made her dream come true, but those people are no longer around her and instead of these heroes she had being proud of her for her accomplishments , they are more bitter than anything. In the end those relationships have come to an end, everyone went their separate ways and those people she cared about aren't in her life anymore.
I really love scrus reacting to songs. It doesn't feel staged like how others do.
Ay yo Scru! Our boy Calli arrived!! She signed with Universal Records!!!! Can’t wait for u to analyze Calli’s new songs in the future
She's taking voice lessons bro. Hololive keeps getting better.
Imagine when its not cali nor goorah, but Ame that turns out to be the best singer.
Ame has had a year long training arc and its shown in her singing. Its amazing to watch the original friend singing spontaneously, to her slowly getting better and better while keeping that same Ame flavor
That's something a lot of us "western" fans of Hololive tend to miss.
A big part of the idol industry in Japan is watching your chosen idol, your Oshi, grow.
You support them in their early performances, when they're not as confident while singing, when their dance moves are awkward and stiff.
And over time, your support gives them the confidence and motivation to keep going, and get better at singing, better at dancing.
And they, in turn, put their all in performing for you, to make you proud.
It's a bit of a symbiotic relationship.
the horns and keys in this song remind me of jazz rap like works from Nujabes
BRO, I LOVE IT. Your breakdowns man, I really needed it.
Lets goo been pushin for this for a minute
So glad you see your take on it. You always give these reactions from your unique point of view and I always have a good time seeing your perspective on what Mori's laying down, even with her having done a dive on this one. Keep on doing your thing, Scru, appreciate it, and glad you're a fan of this one!
Hey SFJ!
As always, your lyrical breakdowns are genuinely appreciated & very close to the artist intention. Calli gave her own interpretation on the song (which cracked up open emotionally just a little). She wrote it (as you said) in a more abstract way as she had something to tell, but wanted others to find their own meaning aswell.
There is a lovely positive spin to this though, she did a song with Boogie Vox called "Crown" and it's more of a celebration of making it. So quite meta. (trying to keep this comment brief haha) so ill end by saying if you have the time, please consider doing both of Calli's newest songs.. 3 of them! The Baddest with Moona, and 2 others with Boogie Vox.
You have an ear for this stuff so I value your input!!✨😊
🍵🍰
Please react to her lyric breakdown of this song. Its got the feels
Great react as always Jean :)
Yo Scu! React to Calli's "いじめっ子 Bully" song! (いじめっ子 means Bully btw) You've did a reaction to this song before but it was from her album video. Now it has a MV for it.
You really get it if you've been in a band and watched your fellow musicians and maybe even yourself drop off from the scene that you all embraced. I can't even express to you the depth at which this song wounds me. I didn't even know it was there until I heard this. Cali found a way to a pain I didn't even know I had until she brought it out. My god.
Aye this the one i been waiting on
Based on the lyric deep dive stream she did, you're dead-on with a lot of your interpretations and also about how she writes things intentionally abstract/vague. I also agree with you that this might be my favorite of her work so far. It's not the flashiest or anything, but it's the most "real" of all her songs.
"Her music is very layered", just like her favorite ogre Shrek. Not a coincidence
Man your breakdowns are so good and for me who isn't a native speaker and not very good in english you're a big helping hand.
"No use in trying to find friends, cause in the end nobody sticks around" is hitting me hard today. In the month of July, a two decades friendship of mine has been irreparably damaged because of my so called friends lack of respect and trust.
Now I'm trying to find some new meaning to life. I'm looking towards what little family I have left, what few friends i have left, and what my work life will let me have.
Damn. There are a total of five songs that hit me in a way that they make me reminisce and I can connect to in every line. This just made that total six. Now I enjoy music in all forms and genres. But this and the other five can put me in a time, place, and situation.
I was randomly recommended a a Chinese translation of your reaction and it seems they appreciate and respect your insight (as far as google translate tells me, anyway). Almost 200k views on it. Your analysis hits different in all parts of the world!
13:30 she absolutely writes lyrics vague so the listeners can draw their own conclusions from it. Shes said this multiple times and said she personally hates it when a song is TOO specific, where theres no room for interpretation or any way to relate it to your own life. Thats why she does lyric dives after a new release to show people how she meant the lyrics to relate to her, but also leaves it vague enough for people to relate to it however they want
Great video! Love this song so much and its super cool to hear someone so knowledgeable and passionate talk about it!
I was expecting the regular Calli song and was hype about it, but calmed down and just chilled when I first played this song...
in regards to her poetic rap that shouldnt surprise anyone since iirc she did say that her greatest inspiration was eminem and his alt/social rap
I remember her talking about how she sees herself as the villian and that she wanted the people that she looked up to, to look at her. And that she also lost a few friends because of v tubing which inspired pieces of it.
I'm so glad you got to react to this! "end of a life" is such a heartfelt and sincere song. I feel like we can all relate to it in one way or another and find some deep personal meaning within it but I really gotta hand it to you for coming so close to the meaning Calliope imbued within the song. Another fantastic reaction from you, and as always I really appreciate how far you go with breaking the song down not just lyrically but also through a music production lens.
If you’re gonna do a react to her new song featuring Boogey Voxx (Japanese language hip hop vsingers) PLEASE whack on the English captions they went to great lengths to translate it so that it still kept the rhyme scheme and meter of his absolutely FIRE Japanese rap
Been waiting for this one!!!! Nice reaction as always!!
9:34 Probably one of my favorite parts too, so damn good🔥
Been waiting for this video since the song release, great reaction and lyric breakdown, as always! 👏
Her lyrics mostly have some of her personal experience/story in it, which she always tell and break down in her stream. But she purposedly make it not too specific so everyone who listen the music can relate it to their own and have their own interpretations.
SFJ never disappoints. another dead beat here. I need to watch more of your non-calli videos man. Trust me this song hit us the same way.
this song is a blessing to the ears. everytime i hear it i feel like i'm floating on a cloud.
i been waiting for this scru. im glad you like this one. i felt this so hard….. its so personal. seeing calli talk about her own song hits even harder.
This is why she's my favorite vtuber
To me, this song feels like she is singing about the contrast between who she was before, and who she is now. She was independent before, dealing with the struggles and particular hardships that came with it. The relationships she's made in doing so. Then, there's the life she's in now. More successful and well known, a member of a bigger group run by a corporation and dealing with the new hardships, struggles, and relationships within. I don't think that she is saying that she dislikes her current life or her old life. But its undeniably different, and I think that naturally comes with worries and doubts, countless "what ifs" and "if only I had done ___" that come with it. I feel like this song is her vocalizing how she feels in her head as she tries (or tried) to come to grips with the situation. Its beautiful.
That Scru Face Breakdown hits different everytime, no one else I’d watch breakdown some fire like this.
YESSS FINALLY HE MADE A REACTION VID FOR THIS SONG, THANK YOU SO MUCH SFJ I WAS DYING WAITING FOR YOU TO THIS MAKE VID! PLEASE CONTINUE TO REACT TO HER RELEASES
Just yesterday I was searching for your reaction. I couldn't find it and now you upload it
One can clearly see you loved this song man, thank you so much for the reaction video!
Calli is two people in the entertainment industry, but they are one in the same, the fame is different but the feelings and personality are the same, she makes music and art in and out of hololive and this song reflects those two different lives
New viewer, I wanted to see some positivity for this wonderful song. Thanks.
Love to see you react to more demo dice stuff: sick outta fashion, dice of a generation, or american saikoro
am i the only one who think about adventure time from this song because of Marceline and bubblegum
sorry didn't know that the song was so personal when i put this
Thank you for reacting to this masterpiece.🙏 Calli really poured her emotions into this and when she broke down her lyrics in a stream, it made me tear up ngl. Damn. She's precious and us Deadbeats love her for who she is whether it be before or the now Calliope. We are all happy to be on the same ride as her creating memories together as fans and we will continue this journey with her till the end! ❤❤❤
Not to romanticize her sadness, but the moment in the lyric stream when she got emotional was very touching. You can tell that she puts everything she has into her songs and it really pays off, each one is better than the last, and her writing really feels like a window into her truth, if that makes sense. I feel grateful that we get to hitch a ride along with her on her journey
I want to see Scru and Calli on a track
Think she is talking about the people in the underground rap scene she used to perform with and how she has kinda left them behind to do her vtuber thing
16min video for a 4:48 song, boy's goin' into them DETAILS!
