This is my original song, "Cube Land." It was inspired by Minecraft, as well as some stuff I was going through in real life at the time... It's very special to me, so I hope you enjoy it ^__^ If you came here via Slamacow: Yes, Steven did ask me if he could use the song for his animated video (and yes, I created this song). If you haven't yet seen his animated version, you can watch it here, he did a really great job! • "Cube Land" - A Minecr...
Special thanks goes out to Dylan Librande (Ecliptichero) for spending hours patiently working with me to record all of the Minecraft footage for the music video (and the Librandes for having us over and being so cool), George Fan for filming some of the live footage and making sure Metroid didn't go too crazy, Justin Vu (mirrortundra) and Vincent Wang (DualPower) for lending us their maps and helping with the battles, and Astragoth for encouraging me to finish the song. Oh, and Metroid, because he's in like half of the shots (completely of his own volition^^).
And of course, thank-you to Notch and the Mojang folks for making an awesome game, and C418 for his beautiful score. Congratulations on finishing Minecraft!
Information: I composed/produced the song in Sonar 6 (and on our piano), and all the instrument samples are from Edirol Orchestral, Cakewalk TTS, Roland Groove Synth, and my trusty Triton. Everything is done manually, note-by-note, even the syncopated reverb (no loops either). There are a total of 11 different tracks, and like a million vocal tracks sung separately (they're all my real vocals... no chorus machines or anything). I edited the video in Adobe Premiere Elements. My compy is several years old, but she worked really hard to export this video! Yes, I anthropomorphize all sorts of inanimate objects.

Hi everyone! Wanna see me perform this song live? At www.twitch.tv/supershigi I perform this song as well as From the Ground Up and music from Plants vs. Zombies, Deltarune and many other video game/animation tunes! Hope to see you there! Thank-u for all the kind comments over the years. I'm so thankful to be able to still be making video game music and original songs. I'll try to keep everyone updated on my new projects over at twitter.com/supershigi
I missed this game and my childhood
Thanks Laura for bring me back
The legend has returned to the song :D
thank you very much, you don't understand how much people's childhoods you made significantly better with your songs
I came back to watch this song again today and i started to cry of how long it has been since i heard these your songs for the first time either it being after beating plants vs zombies or being on youtube watching minecraft songs. Such nostalgia.
Esta canción me hizo dejar de jugar Minecraft XD (Herobrine)
Wanted to revisit this video again today. It brings back a lot of great memories. I remember when I first fell in love with this song! It was a pleasure working with you Laura :) I'm glad I was able to make you an animation for this wonderful song! It was an honor working with you :)
Slamacow the good old days :)
It's so nostalgic thinking of the past where minecraft had been my entire life l, and this song was an inspiration
I NEED more animations dudee xDD
Nice to see you still remember the golden days of minecraft
It was a really hard work to do making animations is not easy
By far. The best. Minecraft original song. I have ever heard. Ever.
Aww, thank-you so much ^_^
Oh ya best
daa best ever
i like from the ground up also by her
I wish I could like this comment more.. XD
I’m here because the comments on the animated video were turned off...
I heard this song for the first time back when I first got into minecraft and loved it immediately. Now, coming back so many years later, it’s so nostalgic and still beautiful af. I miss the days when mc songs like this were popular :’)
Same bro I remember back when fallen kingdom song came out I begged my parents to get me minecraft now I'm 15 and all these songs are so Nostalgia lol

“Get the weed”

I understood the reference!
"We dont want zombies on our lawn."
I can not believe how old this song is, it doesn’t seem like it’s been that long ago since I first heard this song, but I guess I was wrong...
Same

right :((
I remember memorising the lyrics and singing them to myself during PE lmao I didn't realise how old this song was
1:58 RIP pc mouse :(
still sad because of it!
Since you pointed it out I can't help but think of the life it could of had. :'(
+sillE werdnA ;(
+Kristoffer Juls E. Jose happy to hear that lol
One like is one life for a mouse in future
Thank you so much Laura Shigihara, this song has helped through depression, family deaths, etc. i love your songs
Thank-you for sharing that with me, I really appreciate your comment. I'm so glad to know that my music could somehow help you out with things like that.
***** Hai :)
***** Wow seriously wow I ABSOLUTILY envy ur voice well WELL done
Nonamewayward why helped with depression tho?
Listen to the lyrics
The past doesn't come back, but the memories stay. Dunno how many times I looped this song, it's still as good as it was 11 years ago.
Relatable, man...
Wish you all the best, personally I'm not going through my best time, but songs and any pieces of my life from those days give me strength and resolve to push forward.
No matter what.
As if I found a way to get back to my past self and stood in front of myself, after having finally solved all my problems.
"I am no one,
I have no place no one relates,
And there is no sun,
As the night covers the space,
But I beg you,
Please, please,
Don't let this life,
Go to waste."
i’m feeling nostalgic, and then realized that some of my favorite music since I was young was produced by Laura. Songs like “zombie on my lawn” and “cube land” truly brings the nostalgia back in me, and they’re still beautiful even after all these years. I just want to thank you for making these music that were a part of some of my happiest memories, we love you Laura!
laura que recuerdos tenia 14 años 🥺
Que tiempos cuando te llamaba "niño rata", yo tenia 7
supongo que ahorita tienes 24
yo tengo 17 entonces tenía 7 en eso entonces aaaaaaaaaaa
Fua yo tenía 13 :')
Yo escuchaba esta canción miles de veces cuando tenia 4 o 6 añitos
This song hits different when you're older and have depression.
lol fr this hits home
Indeed!
This track gets me very emotional. Without minecraft I dont know if i would've turned out the same. Thank you for encapsulating how much minecraft meant to me with this song, I used to listen on repeat and cry and cry. Amazing memories.
Makes me cry, if you think about the lyrics more than the game's context, it's pretty cold to hear it. But it's a song that I love with all my strenght, it's pretty cool and has alot of memories within it :') thanks Laura, thanks to everyone who made it
You have such a beautiful voice :)
She really has a beautiful voice, wait, she plays minecraft?!?!
Julia Villa-Ignacio Yes, she also plays World of Warcraft and, I would assume, wishes that Blizzard would give the Sin'dorei a chance to try their hand at druidic magic.
Julia Villa-Ignacio She plays a LOT of different games :)
Arion Beach Wow I forgot this comment ever existed lmao
@@Sebe579 and composes music for lot of them. Like for toby fox's deltarune
This genuinely is such a beautiful song, it really does have a special place in my heart
Maybe I'm a little nostalgia blinded, but am I wrong?
August 10,2021 and this is the only one that allows comments still. I remember when I first heard the song in 2014 it was depressing, but now it's got sad overtones with hope buried beneath it all.
Lyrics:
I'm in a cube land
I dig with cold hands
I use this tools to try and
Climb out of this mess i've made
My door is open
Skeletons and zombies
I am broken,
As they walk all over me
But if i keep on building
Walls, maybe they'll stay away
Think fast, it's got to last
If you're gonna make it through the rest of the day
I'm trapped, i can't go back,
I've made the choice to stay
And we'll fight...
Keep defending through the night
(we'll fight the good fight)
Live...
We're all driven to survive
(we'll fight the good fight)
I'll keep going
Just stay by my side
I'm in a cube land
My castle is so grand
And once i lay these tracks i'll
Finally make my escape
I am no one
I have no place, no one relates
And there is no sun
As the night covers this space
But i beg you, please, please
Don't let this life go to waste
Think fast, it's got to last
If you're gonna make it through the rest of the day
I'm trapped, i can't go back,
I've made the choice to stay
And we'll fight...
Keep defending through the night
(we'll fight the good fight)
Live...
We're all driven to survive
(we'll fight the good fight)
I'll keep going
Just stay by my side
Damn, it's really been 10 years. I don't enjoy minecraft as much as I did back then, but man, this song still hits.
I miss how minecraft used to be so popular before. brings back memories
And then it got popular again
This is mine childhood ,back when i couldnt speak english and loved this song no matter what words meant.
I like this better than the animated one. Your voice is so beautiful ;0
I agree.
David the monkey the animated one was made because steven aka slamacow (the animator) loved this song so much he wanted to make a animation for it. Like a music video. As a compliment, as in its so good (and he probably thought it deserved more but that was his part he wanted to play in making her more famous, he was also promoting her/advertising her so more people would go subscribe to her.)it deserves a animation for it more than any other normal minecraft song.
me too
Thug Pug™ Thats so true.
Karamee Nickels ya
this game is already over a decade, and it still legend. THE BEST GAME OF ALL TIME
Also, nobody in 2019?
Late at night decided to go down memory road! so you're not alone! lol
it's 15:22
Welcome to 2020. Im the Bulgarian (slavic) dude.

@@jyeh3996 you're late
So much memories I wanna go back to where I was happy 😭
Wow still, 8 years later, I get the same chills listening... ❤️😞 the good ol’ days...
It doesn't seem like 8 years ago does it 💔
8 years have passed, and though i sometimes forget bout this one, i still keep coming back. God bless you, god bless your songs, or whatever you believe in
Damn this video and the editing of it makes me feel shivers down my spine and brain… it feels so nostalgic and makes me remember the vibes of that small Timelapse of 2012-2016 of UA-cam, Minecraft and the and the Internet in general
The 2010s is minecraft golden age for real
Golden age
im crying right now
i completely forgot about this song. i think i was too young to really remember it, but as soon as i heard it on spotify, i felt a sense of familiarity and found myself singing some of the parts as if i knew them completely.
Oh shoot I can’t believe this song came out when I was 7 years old in 2011 and now 18 soon to be 19 this year 😢 bring me back to the days when life was good
good old times...
It's truly a classic back then in 2013.
From a simpler time
I want to go back so bad 😭
Same
Well well well then. A bit of nostalgia for me. Now 22 years old and these somgs stull bring a smile to my face, knowing how simple it omce was as a kid. Good times.
Something about the music style and just instrumental choice makes this stand out from any other Minecraft “original” song, 11 years later still one of the best
Memories.
the nostalgia of this song is awesome... this song was the one that made me play Minecraft!, thank you laura
Dang, it's been so long since I heard this song. I still like it! You're a really great singer btw
Actually, she was the one who originally sung it, the one who uploaded the video (I forgot the uploader) asked if they could use the song and she said they could
np
***** Thank you
Laura is this all you? I mean the mixing, music, production and just everything?
Yup :)
***** A...mazing.
***** you have a Beutiful voice hold on i need to call American Idol for your addition
***** thx to ur song slamacow has now 25 million views now.which is surprising. ur awesome. :3
+supershigi WHAT DA FUQ K! ITS COOL CAN U HELP ME MAKE SONG ABOUT Heroes Of Soulcraft pls.... email me the song : sammygaming90@gmail.com thx :)
Still a bop after all these years.
I agree
soooooo just got back into my minecraft hyperfixation yet again, been listening to the music that i used to and... holy shit when i say this song brought up so many emotions, so much so that i cant even find a way to pinpoint just exactly what it is. maybe im crying because deep down im realizing it'll never be as simple as it was 9 years ago? maybe im crying out of nostalgia, and these tears are actually a sign of appreciation for the memories i had. there is endless possible reasons to explain why im sobbing my fucking eyes out, but there is one thing that stands gosh darn true through all of them.
i miss this. i wish i could relive every second and not take it for granted this time. i want to respect the time, as well as enjoy it, rather than just the latter. i... i just want to thank you Laura, for the amazing work you did and still do. you were part of my childhood and i didnt even know it.
SAME LITERALLY SAMEEE
Its very rare to have a fan song be on par with mainstream music in terms of quality and depth. Amazing song
2024 ❤
Woah I remember this song makes me feel so... magical? And nostalgic. I've never played Minecraft but the way the lyrics describe the gameplay is wonderful, Laura is truly an talented artist ♡
Dang, it's been 10 years. Your game style of music is so iconic.
I was 7 when first hearing this song and now coming back 12 years later the song still hit hard my life. I love it ❤
"i dig with cold hands"
-This statement has a double effect on your feelings during the winter.
11 years later, and still the best minecraft song, it's in a league of it's own
my childhood Minecraft song......... *man time flies by so fast*
I remember having listened/watched the minecraft-animation with this song on constant loop on youtuberepeat like 12 or so years ago.
It's a strange feeling to completely forget about the existance of a song to instantly becoming nostalgic when hearing just the first few notes of it again.
To me, the way the main and background vocals at 0:42-0:51 combine always felt "strangely comforting" to me. I mean... They still do.
There are two best songs ever - Cube land and From the ground up;)Dear Laura, please make more Minecraft songs^)
I did not remember this song until it appeared in recommended, i decided to enter and i felt it very familiar, until suddenly I started singing it as if I had already sung it before.
I guess I was very young at the time I heard it. Its a excellent song!
Definitely one of my favorite Minecraft songs ever. This video is painfully nostalgic as well, it hurts. Thank you for everything.
Besides the awesome background music, what made this song so great is it wasn't about how great someone's castle was, or how someone had a full suit of diamond armour. It was about a normal man in a terrifying, dangerous situation just trying to survive and escape, and at the end, he won. It is why a poor person trying to feed his family is more entertaining than a rich person eating food with gold leaf in it. It is why a normal person stranded in the middle of the ocean trying to find dry land, is more entertaining than someone getting an Olympics swimming medal. That is why this song is awesome!
Remember when Herobrine was everywhere and the scariest thing to ever exist
its all a hoax

(verse 1)
I'm in a cube land
I dig with cold hands
I use these tools to try and climb out of this mess I've made
My door is open
Skeletons and zombies
I am broken, as they walk all over me
But if I keep on building walls, maybe they'll stay away
(pre-chorus)
Think fast, it's got to last if you're gonna make it through the rest of the day
I'm trapped, I can't go back, I've made the choice to stay
(chorus)
And we'll fight... keep defending through the night
(we'll fight the good fight)
Live... we're all driven to survive
(we'll fight the good fight)
I'll keep going, just stay by my side.
(verse 2)
I'm in a cube land
My castle's so grand
And once I lay these tracks I'll finally make my escape
I am no one
I have no place, no one relates
And there is no sun
As the night covers this space
But I beg you, please please don't let this life go to waste
This is my favorite Minecraft song EVER!
thanks for made this masterpiece. it was part of my childhood. thank you so much
This somehow got in my recommended and instantly shot me back 12 years. Feels great to hear it again, it let me relive what my earlier days on the internet felt like for a bit. Thanks for creating something that influenced such a core time in my life.
I remember watching a top 10 list of Minecraft songs of that month, and this showed up in there. I remember it being 8th place and everything after being parodies. Didn't understand why as a kid cause Cubeland is an authentic Minecraft original
i cant believe its been over 10 years since this song released, still a vibe to this day
In my search for Music this year, 2024, I was losing hope until I found the name Laura Shigihara in my streaming recommendations, and there is no doubt I am in love with her work, her projects are unique, full of emotion, history and above all that reality and life that I was looking for so much. From these projects of 12 years ago to the most newest such as "when you wake up" or "Roses" we undoubtedly hope to continue enjoying you more Miss Shigihara.
From some corner of the world someone normal. Thank you very much for what you have done and what you will do.
1: 11 years old and still slaps
2: How'd I not find this earlier?
Edit: I may have heard this before, but if I did, then it was when I was younger than 10. So I only have recollection of the piano melody
wow this is the original video
11 years ago. That’s crazy I was a kid then. I smoke crack now
I was a kid too back then bro life's crazy now
This song is art. Its beautiful, the music is an earworm, and as a bonus its made by the same creator as the pvz music (graze the roof is amazing). Cube land deserves recognition.
Bro I used to listen to this song on repeat for hours while I played minecraft when I was like 8
OMG I LOVE THIS SONG FOR MULTIPLE YEARS IN A ROW
Me too!!!
Esta canción fue parte de mi infancia, recuerdo la animación de Steve con su cerdito, y esta hermosa melodía, MUCHAS GRACIAS LAURA, de verdad tu trabajo en esto es algo que debo agradecer mucho
This song was part of my childhood, i remember the Steve's animation with his piglet, and this beautiful melody, THANK YOU SO MUCH LAURA, really your work in this is something that i have to thank a lot
After almost twelve years I still come back.
It's one of my favorite nostalgic songs and inspired my nostalgia playlist on Spotify. Thank you so much for this song.
So good. So good.
Not just in terms of 'minecraft songs' but in it's own right as a great written arranged and performed piece of music. That piano. Your voice. Baaah, even after this time I keep coming back to listen to everything this song is! Wonderful and thank you so much for making it Laura
I loved it, This song is a great representation of the difficulty to survive in the early days of the game, it trully was a chalenge, to thoses who never played the early fases of the game try with beta 1.7.3, some of the gameplay features are changed yet simple.
Returning in 2019, such an nostalgic piece, I remembered this back in the height of Minecraft's popularity in 2012
Best minecraft original song.
such a nostalgia trip
There zombies on your law
Cube Land
the 2 great demands of laura shigihara according to me and maybe according to others seriously those 2 songs are epic and I never expected Laura to be the singer of there zombies on your law
how not to forget these versions, when minecraft was really good, without pillagers, without ravagers, without nether biomes, no no no, just create your base and survive with your team, I have to admit that Laura not only did a good job in Plants vs Zombies, but apart from that she is very talented and it makes you nostalgic to listen to all her songs, thanks her career is very generous...
LEGENDARY
This is the definition of Legendary
thank you for making this masterpiece of art in 16x16 pixeled blocks 3d game usually called minecraft, as known as "cave game" for the ancient players. i will hear to this while playing minecraft with my friends.
This is such a genuinely good song, regardless of the fact that it's a minecraft song. been over 10 years and still amazing
my childhood was this amazing
you can really tell this is the same person who made the pvz soundtrack
This song is very nostalgic, I remember all the mysteries that were made and that I looked for them, that nostalgia makes me cry, You are very special :'3
Even more nostalgic now 😢
minecraft used to have so much lore stuff, far more than stuff like undertale etc
their used to be so many channels dedicated for this stuff, more so than all the dark souls lore stuff etc
Heard this last night live on the stream and I honestly can't stop tearing up. When I first heard this song it was just a Minecraft song by someone cool, but over the years I grew to understand the deeper meaning. Thank you, Laura. You've made the life of thousands of us a liiitle bit more tolerable. ♡
I had to revisit this. It reminds me of a simpler time. When I was randomly going on UA-cam, I saw your one of your videos. It is very nice that you are still making great music!
This song is beautiful! Having kind of a hard time I need songs like this. Thank you Laura!
Wait this was the original music video
Yes.
Felix Forthwind Interesting. I thought it was Slama cows video
giclee101 Laura worked together with Slamacow. Same thing
it said it in the vid
Yeah it came out in 2011 not animated but in 2012 slamacow animated it for her.
can't believe it's already 11 years old 😢
Still one of the best songs I’ve ever listened to after all these years. Man it’s great to come back to it
I know You don't know Me and I don't know You either but...
Thank You for Everything this Music has put a Smile in My Face during the Hard Times
Thank You 💙
you made me remember the old Times.
Thank You
oh what’d i do to go back to listen to this for the first time again
я впервые услышала эту песню когда мне было 6 лет. сейчас мне 15 и я все еще влюблена в нее. Ваш ангельский голос идеален💕.
Спустя столько лет песня совсем по другому ощущается, почти плачу когда слушаю
Memories ...
I’ll never stop coming back to Laura’s old stuff, it never gets old
I saw this once as a kid and i looked for it for last 10 years. Found it while playing Beta 1.7.3 with a friend. :D
Too much good memories and nostalgia, I still love this song since the first listening, I love it!
My brother had this downloaded on his PS3, hearing this on my own pc years later is insane to me.
THE MEMORIES ARE FLOODING IN- I remember listening to these while playing minecraft when I was little… I’m turning 18 now…
Thank you for making my childhood when I was in my minecraft parody songs era. About 5 years when I grew up, this song randomly came into my head and i searched for about an hour till I found this song. So nostalgic thank you.
