Video Games and Anime. Well actually...90% video games. I'm talking about influences by the way. You'll have to excuse me, I just finished editing this video and I am in need of the BIG SLEEP. The influence from videos games (and some anime) had led to some of my favorite song creations I've ever made. This year was something special. I figured I knew enough to attempt making a video game song in 10 minutes. It was meant to be a joke video, but the amount views and support it got was insane. And then it hit me: I can avoid a burnout this year if I introduce "Attempts" as a new series! This led to some pretty great stuff, including some of the most "different" originals I've ever made. This year also included "Hero (Encore)" which is my favorite song I've ever made. It's definitely been a journey, and I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for giving that small lad from 6.5 years ago a chance. I'll never forget that. I will keep working on improving! Here's the medley. This is "Making a Shady Cicada Anime/Video Game Medley (2019)". I hope you enjoy!

SHAKE THE EARTH. I hope you all enjoyed. This song is actually free for awhile on BandCamp (link in description). Just enter $0 and download (unless you actually WANTED to pay more. Thank you so much to those who did). And now for a small end of year message:
I haven't had much sleep due to editing this video, so I'm sorry if this is short or incoherent. I just to thank you all for being some of the most wholesome and supportive people I know out there. Thanks to my streams and such, I've gotten to know so much more about some of you. I'm not here to be some kind of motivational speaker (and I know how corny and fake it can sound), but I truly believe that fighting and working hard for your dream will eventually get you there one day. Everyone is different and has a different living situation, but I still believe you shouldn't ever give up 100% if it's something you truly want to do.
This year has honestly been great. I'll admit that depression hit me hard these past few months for a few reasons (not that it doesn't strike WITHOUT a reason), but I'm glad I had my friend, family, and you guys around to make sure I saw it through. I truly did believe for a second that I was some talent-less joke who should stop. But then I found myself grabbing my guitar an hour later. Doesn't matter what I tell myself. Deep down, I know I'm determined (and stubborn) enough to make this all work. And honestly, I'm sure you have something like that deep down too. I will only get better and maybe one day, I'll be a video game composer...or making my own video game...or both! Thank you all so much. I will see you at some point in 2020 (might take 1-2 weeks off)!
Yes Shady, you go! Thank you for never doubting your abilities, or letting anyone's criticisms get to you. It's because of all of your hard work and dedication that we are able to listen to your epic music.
Keep it up!
Dude, you're like my fav musician out there.
So what if you don't understand anything about music theory? You developed your own style and that makes you unique among every other musician.
Good luck for the upcoming decade 👌
// Btw when will you spill the game ideas? 👀👀👀👀
Thank you so much for everything you do Shady. You are so important to so many people and I will never give up on my dreams thanks to you.
You are my favorite musical tutorial guy! You helped inspire me to try making music (I've made 2 songs since finding you and I think they're an okay start!). We can get through the hard times and grow! Thank you so much for all you do!
don't believe people like the sheet music guy. they can't be pleased, they look out any details to complain at. just know that your own Cicada Swarm will always support you and many people, including me, look forward to every single song of yours.

How about Clone Hero too?
Let's try ! I want this on beatsaber !
@@aliteralsliceofbread maybe...I'm planning on charting this whole thing at some point, it'll take a while though, but it will be worth it!
Ah yes, the end credits theme of 2019
Damn the sequels depressing
Hits different now
It really does
I couldn't come up with a witty comment to say it, but dude
"Luca's Theme" being unveiled as the name for the leitmotif you've used for so long now was straight up the _coolest_
Do you remember a video where Shady is making a song and uses that Luca's Theme melody? I can't find one :P
@@DanielSYT He used it in his "How to make a final boss theme" it was zesty
@@bluebunnexyt awesome, thanks! I gotta start watching Shady's older videos, they seem to be amazing too :D
I am a bit confused about something, what exactly is the significance of the name Luca on this channel, I can tell it has some importance because of how much it is used, but what exactly does it mean
@@JJJSmit9026 It is his video game idea. Sort of the name of the game he'll make.
If he ever makes one
Shady, I just want you to know that as long as this channel still exists, I’ll watch your videos. As absolutely cliche as it sounds, you’ve been a major inspiration to me and motivated me to continue with music and try new things. Sorry if this sounded really cheesy lmao. Never stop doing what you do.
*cough cough
why i deleted my gaming content amd became a remixing channel
*cough cough
Couldn't agree more
*_HACK WHEEZE_*
Why I started making my own tunes.
*_HACK WHEEZE_*
Lol, takes time though, and writing different types of music is fun but rough sometimes lol.
His videos are literally content +
*Listen, I'm going to shamelessly be a real sentimental bastard in this v long comment, so be prepared.*
This song was the coolest thing ever, first of all. Not because it was awesome in the musical sense, which it also was, but because it felt like a story that I was a part of - recognising the songs, muttering "if he plays megalovania is2g" at the screen, thigh-slapping along at the end. I've been following you for maybe not even a year, definitely not more than 18 months, and in that time you've become such a vital part of my UA-cam feed that if you ever walked away from making music, I would mourn your loss far more than I'd have it in me to mourn the loss of any famous big-name musician.
And every time you blow my mind with yet another New Favourite, or impossible challenge done near-effortlessly, or some offhand comment about how you don't even know music theory or are doing all your 10-minute challenges with a _fucking trackpad,_ it inspires me. It honestly makes me feel much more drawn to you and your content than other creators who seem leagues beyond tangibility as musical artists - no shade to them, they're wonderful, but you're the only musician whose content makes me actually feel like I _could_ create something I want to, without necessarily knowing all the technicalities that come with it. Your content is down-to-earth, real, genuinely flipping hilarious, and always leaves me properly excited to see what your game ideas will come to. If Toby Fox has been an inspiration to you, then you've equally inspired me, and probably countless others.
Oh, and also, every time you release a new video and talk about your game projects, I fervently hope that in the next few years, when (hopefully) I follow my own aspirations and create a video game of my own, that you're still around, making amazing music, and still being as approachable an artist as you can manage in your fame. Because if I want _anyone_ to provide the musical score to anything I create, it would be you and your brilliant composition and your chaotic post-millennial guitar boi energy.
So yeah, thank you for making my 2019 brighter, and giving me the drive and motivation (every week!) to remember my own goals and work towards them. You're my New Favourite.
TL;DR I love you, never stop.
Cheers, I'll drink to that, bro.
I may not be first,
and I'll never be the last,
But when I see Cicada,
you KNOW I click fast
You aren't first but you're original and I commend that
This sums up my thoughts too well and i feel attacked
@@rlbaase3 he's not though
Same here mate! :3
As my teacher says, "First time, worst time."
So if this is you at your worst, imagine what you could become in 5 years. This is amazing, and you can only get better from here

Oh my god, such an underrated comment
The chefs: why do I hear boss music?
now this, is a quality comment my good sir
GOLD
Omia wa mou shinderu
The most genial thing is shady make a game and use all these tracks on them
ps: i love so much your musical videos and greetings from chile :)
If he made a game I'd have more hours on that game then I do Terraria and Minecraft combined. Those add up to a lot of hours...
Hey Cicada, you actually ended up being my most played artist on Spotify this year. Really love all of your songs, the leitmotifs are always heartwarming to hear. Keep going man.
Same... I spent over 90 hours listening to his music alone and my second most played station only had about 40 hours of listening time total from what I remember...
My Mix on UA-cam has gotten to where only about 3 in 50 songs aren't Shady's. I listen to him all the time, and frankly, I'm still not sick of any of it.
ffs shady,
you made me cry more than the ending of assassination classroom,
and as a weeb, you know this mean a lot
This was a good year. And here's to another amazing year with amazing, even if not weekly, music!
(long ass comment oof)
I was attracted to your originals cause you put "how to make this theme" and so far no one else has done it
You have this fluidity with your music that's different from other musicians on this site, it's not rough sounding? (It's hard to explain lol) and you add extra melodies to your covers that i hardly see anyone do (also hard to explain im not a music nut lol)
All your originals sound like it's in it's own series and i often slip saying it's an ost from an actual game when it's not (yet)
So i say you're pretty original in my eyes lol
Twas a good year my man
Go get some rest you deserve it
Can't wait to hear more music in the future
Smol Angel Nana Are you talking about motifs? (Recurring themes)
@@braxbro6674 pretty sure he means how shady's music transitions so well into every part. And how it doesn't feel contrasting at all when Shady implements a new melody every then and now
I'm sure a lot of people feel the same but I feel I need to say this. I found Shady when I didnt know I needed his music most lol. He just popped into my feed around 2 years ago because I was listening to some OST or something and his Counterattack cover from XC2 popped up and I listened and I was amazed. I am a bit versed in music theory and such so when I heard his stuff, it was almost like a breath of fresh air. It was so intricate and felt/sounded genuine. Plus, it was rock music, which is my favorite genre. I appreciate any music that is played by an actual instrument and person and to see it in my favorite way was just awesome, especially this day and age. I loved his riffs especially for his anime songs because honestly, anime has pretty dang good music and he made it sound even better. Shady is no god or someone to worship but he's definitely someone I look to when it comes to originality and inspiration. I hope Shady understands that he really has made people's lives better by creating his Originals. They at least have for me. I hope he continues to create more originals this next year. I'm excited, and I hope you all are too.
I have been playing and learning music for more than half my life, and music terms are only that : *terms*
It doesn't matter if you don't know that a flûte is called a flûte, what matters is the sound it makes because that's what music is all about. The only point of terms is to make it easier to communicate with other musicians
A musician is to me just like an artist, someone that tries to convey ideas or emotions through sound. But in the end, others don't get to decide if you are a "true" one or not, only you can do that.
Anyways, i hope you all have a good day !
Well said
Sweet lord and savior Jesus Christ this year was amazing. I’m so glad that I found this channel and that you were the person behind it. Here’s hoping next year is even better
This is insane! You managed to weave an entire story into a recap video - and not only that, you were brave enough to level with us, to tell us how you really felt. A lot of artists don't have the courage to do that, and they try to just take success and roll with it. But you chose to talk with us. You chose to allow us to understand how you were feeling. Thank you.
I think that's a part of the reason that you're so influential to so many of us - you've never been afraid to tell us everything. And because of that, this isn't just your journey anymore - you've made this our journey.
So let's rock into 2020! We'll be with you every chord, every key change, every new leitmotif, every story. Count on it!
It would be sad if the musician stopped making, right? HERES TO A GREEEAAAT NEW DECADE!!!!!!
balloon guy still has his balloon - and it's still afloat. it's full of hope and determination (and probably helium). as long you hang onto that, you can keep going.
This is amazing! I found you through wood wood and I’ve enjoyed sticking around for every video, and binging some old ones too. You have been doing a really awesome job and there has been a lot of improvement. Here’s to a sweet 2020 full of bangin music and jams!
I caught that pun, you genius. "Sticking around"
*Starting off with earth shaker*
Yep this is gonna be a good video
Edit(s): The hero encore part gives me smash bros brawl remix vibes
I never thought I wanted Soulless caphony played on guitar so much until now
I’m a little sad tablu rasa didn’t make it in here but it’s still a good melody either way :)
Ok final edit:
Shady, I just want to start off by saying that you are my #1 favorite artist in general, I found you on Spotify earlier this year through sour cherry and since then I had listened to every song that was released on Spotify at the time and with those songs I had seen my characters and story playing out to something I had never considered to do with them, and that was to make it a video game, I’ve been trying to put together this idea for the past 6/7 months now and every time you release a new song it fuels more concepts for songs and places that I could put in this game, like for example tablu rasa gave me an idea of a neon lit city that looks straight out of the 80’s/90’s
What I’m trying to say is, keep up the great work and here’s to a great new decade.
Happy new year :)
I found your channel earlier this year, and ever since have been a fan. Heres to the success of this year, and to 2020 too
I like having your songs in the background while I'm drawing or doing chores, they get me pumped!
Oh sweet Homesick is on here! Great medley as always Shady!
The fact that I remember most of these songs surprises me
coming back to this song, I was surprised no one has made timestamps for each part
The “so why do I keep feeling like it’s not enough?” hits me so hard everytime
Dude, I just want to say, you’re a straight-up inspiration. Whatever kind of stuff you make in the future, don’t stop putting your heart into it. Here’s to 2020. 🍾
that last part of the comment didn't age well
This music fills your heart with determination.
Wait time to move and homesick was from this year?! I thought it was last year lmao
Srsly tho you've inspired me to be like you with the how to vids. Now I'm here, made many songs along the way
It's as if, you've made me manage to figure out how to blend music with creativity
Also I just realized the main leitmotif for this song is from the wood wood only song lol
Keep reeling em in with that harmony, champ
You are one of the artists that can consistently make music that I love, don't give up! Keep improving! And remember to reel' em in with that harmony!!
Also the hero has a name now! Waaah!! I squealed when I saw it
Just saying taking inspiration is not the same as a "rip-off" so those who say that are probably just jealous. Your a great artist. Keep being you. Much love for shady cicada.
Tbh some of these melodies feel so emotional it almost makes me cry...
hell yeah you funky little cicada...hell yeah
7 Months later and I’m still listening to this song. It just gives me really happy feelings, thank you and continue doing your best shady.
Being in a music rut myself, hearing all this from another artist is more meaningful than you could possibly know.
Thanks, Shady. I love your work. You're the best.
I literally got chills, that was so amazing, thank you so much!
Keep doing what you're doing, I love your work!
This is by far one of my favorite videos ever put on the internet! Thanks for the inspiration and encouragement Shady, I feel like I'm ready to kick life's ass every time I listen to this track.
I can't believe I only just now discovered you.
I pray for those who don't have a daily dose of shady.
This is gold, going through all the old ones is a bop in a remix style
Watch out 2020 because a real Shady guy has his sights on you.
Just on time for this masterpiece. Keep up the good work! See you in 2020!
There are no words, just cheering and fist pumping.
Happy New Year, Shady. Here's to many, many more. Cheers!
Here's to a good year enjoy your big sleep shady
Thanks for an amazing year, Shady. You have been a huge inspiration for me and both your channel and the community you've built are nothing short of incredible. Can't wait to see what 2020 Shady has in store for us!
When people ask me who my favorite music artist is, I can confidently respond “Shady Cicada.”
Two things:
1) I've had this on repeat for at least three days straight, congratulations.
2) "We're All Gonna Be Stars" popped into my Discover Weekly playlist on Spotify! Normally it throws things like Vocaloid or Anime Openings, so I was hella excited when I recognized a SC original. Keep up the sweet work Shady! :D
We’re all gonna be stars has definitely got to be the anime version of smash mouth - “all star”
you go!! you’re one of my biggest inspirations when making music and i am so invested in your story as a musician, i’m so happy you’re still making music after all this time and i hope one day i can be like you- thank you so much for making these songs for all of us :)) we love you!
No matter the art, there will be doubts, there will be the nay-sayers, and there will be countless nights where you wonder if you're truly doing something, or just wasting time...
But when you have a passion, when you have a DREAM and a PURPOSE, then there is no such thing as wasting time.
You taught me that, Shady. Thank you. My writing, my heart and soul... Thanks to you, I will not doubt it. I may doubt myself sometimes, however, just like you...
I REFUSE TO QUIT
Beautiful.
The annual medleys always make me say “oh yeah! I remember that song!”
Here’s to a new year of future favorites!
As someone who struggles with self-doubt a lot, I really felt that last part. Let's all do our best to make 2020 the best year yet!
P.S. dude if you're not composing for a game already get on that I'd play it for the soundtrack alone.
Words cannot describe how beautiful this is and how much I kept screaming "nOOOOOOO" at the doubting parts
Everyone has their coping mechanism, for me it’s music, now if been interested in music since I was about ten or so but just a year earlier, I found you.
At this time I was going through some stressful things with school and it didn’t help that everywhere around me people are saying the lyrics to these songs that I can tell they say just to think “oh I’m listen to XXX tentachion so I’m cool”, but me personally couldn’t care less about the lyrics in a song, for that I was different.
Now I just would listen to your music and could feel how much passion and heart you put into it, and it inspired me to just not care if the rest of class is singing lyrics while I’m humming a melody.
I even got a guitar, sure it’s acoustic but, you have to start somewhere. Right now I’m looking for a music software that can help me.
I promise you I will never drop my dream. Thank you
Sorry I just had a lot on my chest (sorry if it was a rant)
Okay okay okay so setting aside the fact that i literally swore every time Shady doubted himself or called himself unoriginal (seriously he's one of the most unique musicians i listen to, has a great sense of humor and has been a huge inspiration for me personally) *we finally know more about the classic leitmotif of this channel.* Like is it just me or is this the first time he called it "Luca's Theme"? Cause like???? Still so excited about the video game idea he keeps composing for ahhhh
i cried 3 times during this, worth every second of it
I don’t think I saw the original video of the fire level theme but that was genuinely one of the best melodies I’ve ever heard
Once Shady reaches a million subs and turn this into a real job in the next ten years, I definitely wanna see a decade recap with an hour (2 hour?) long medley from him. Starting from the newest songs to the oldest and iconic songs of the last few years... Or maybe a full reimagining of the game with all tracks in it to celebrate his journey.
Why do I imagine this song to be the final fight of a show and you are the protagonist giving his final speech before triumph.
your not ripping of anyone dude! Your an inspiration !
I just finished the video and I am sobbing. Shady you have already done so much for people including me no matter what you will never be a nobody to me. Everything you do here on UA-cam and Twitch has motivated me so much and helped me get through hard times. It’s because of you I’m never giving up on my dreams and I can’t thank you enough for not giving up on yours. No matter what others think of you, you have already done so much more than most people will in their lives and you should be proud. Thank you Shady Cicada, for everything.
This should have been voted Best Shounen of the Decade.
The hype and wind-up was real, and Shake the Earth was amazing! Awesome job my dude!
To a new year! A new decade! Keep making great music Shady!
Honestly, if you're aiming your songs towards a video game type of kind, you're really the best at it. I've heard so many other originals for video games, yet your songs were the most catchy of all. Even if some aren't even targetted towards an anime/video game style, kinda like Karma, Last Stop, Rip & Tear and so many others, every time I listen to them, I kind of get motivated just from that. I think to myself that somehow, even if you aren't the best at music terms and shit like that, you're one of the most original folks I've ever listened to. And who cares if your songs are made from an inspiration of others who got more successful? Look at yourself, you only got half of half a million, yet your songs are more unique than everything. It's crazy how you've managed to keep making all these sick songs with all the weight and pressure of a daily life. You're truly a strong fellow, you speak your courage and your determination through your songs, and that's most likely why I feel determined to go on when times get hard. Because of the amount of strength that comes out of your style, and how every melody keeps getting better as you keep making different songs, you're really one that I admire.
I've been thinking about learning to play the guitar, yet I never really did it. Losing interest and procrastination are the most important reasons as to why someone would give up on a dream. But you still haven't done that! You're still going strong, even better than before! I'm looking forward to what you come up with in 2020, best of luck to you my dude, and don't forget to "Reel 'Em In"!
Also, the transition from Homesick to Hero was damn good
(man, i havent written such a long message in a while, forgive me if it isn't the most motivational thing ever.)
This channel is my favorite anime series
Amazing work this year shady, can't wait to see what 2020 has in store!
I'm not that loyal of a fan but every time I come back to you I never regret it. 10/10 content, you can't prove me wrong, we should have to pay to see this stuff.
bruh ngl, you're one of the reasons why i decided to do music. knowing that it's possible to create such cool sounding songs really inspired me to put time and effort into music, and im sure that's the case for a fuck ton of other people. fucking thank you for writing such amazing songs. not sure what i'd be spending my free time doing without it.
WOW! This honestly has to be the best channels "UA-cam Rewind". I honestly think that this is awesome, it truly makes me excited for the next decade of Shady Cicada!
Here's to a new decade of Shady Cicada. We're all with you, Shady, every last one of us. Remember that.
Shady, you always will be you, and never some ripoff. Your music is amazing and I hope that you have a nice rest
I came back to this song, and sat and read through the subtitles properly. And after seeing all your hard work through 2020 thus far Shady, I can confirm...
You have shaken the earth
@6:17 "This year has seen the most success...ever. But do I even deserve that?" Yes, yes you do. Congrats on a great year!! Can't wait to see all the great content you'll create in 2020!
Your Shady Cicada Style entails entrails because you are *shredding*!
The things that actually attracted me to this channel were your sense of humor, your fairly unique (to me at least) musical style, and your ability to bring that style to a plethora of genres that keep your channel fresh. Weird to see a lot of those are the things you were worried about. Love your channel, and I'm super glad I found it. If I ever made a video game, I know I'd want you for the composer.
Youve set high expectations for yourself with this, i expect masterpieces next year ;)
Who am I kidding, all your songs are amazing. Fucking hell, every time I hear your music I wanna play guitar. You’re a badass, keep going 🤘
Discovered my dream guitar through you, i played a banshee 7 string yesterday and i loved it to death. Its too expensive right now, but some day ill own it (anime powerstance)
Go, you funky Cicada! Chase those dreams, and keep reelin' them in! 🤘💞🤘
Wood wood better be in the next decade y'all.
*Wood wood is good good*
A lot of bangers were made this year
Cheers to another year of success!
I can't believe so much time has passed since 2018's medley. Still, keep it up for years to come.
"EVIL CHEF HOURS COMMENCE" I got chills from that shift into the final bit
also I just found your channel and it's time to *binge*
The world needs more video games with soundtracks like this.
I absolutely adored the use of Mystified in this. That was probably the first song I heard from you that firmly placed you in the top tier of my mental list of musicians. And obviously everything else you've done has been amazing, that was just the first time I was so aware that you obviously you knew exactly what you were doing. Shake the earth my man.
I think the thing about you that impresses me the most is your ability to capture feelings/emotions/themes in your music. You set out to write "x" type of song, and can do it, and do it well. If you want to write a boss battle theme, the song you come up with sounds like a boss battle theme I'd actually hear in a video game. Who gives a fuck if you know the correct terms and theory, you understand how to make a song sound like something, which I think is way more important.
Thank you for all you have done! Here’s to another great year!
How dare anyone dislike this absolute masterpiece!!?!?
But on a different note your music has been a huge inspiration to me for as long as I’ve known your channel, it’s helped me reach new heights with my art and characters as well as envision a video game of my own that will probably never come to fruition. So here’s to a new year of fantastic music and improvement!!
For real, Shady, I'm glad you know deep down that you're only improving. You're not a rip off. You're the best Cicada to ever be Shady. You earned your success this year and you deserve it all. Through good and bad, your true fans will stick with you no matter what people say. You're an awesome musician and a really fun dude in general. All these years I've been following and supporting you have been a blast, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I've never followed a band/composer/musician as long as I have for you, and this train isn't gonna stop getting better and more fun anytime soon!
Lastly, who cares if you can't read sheet music or whatever it was people keep saying? You're making good music, and having a fun time doing it, so that's what really matters!
I remember I was on a road trip back in 2018. I was starting to run out of things to do after driving for so long and then I stumbled across one of your videos. Then I started watching more of your videos and just fell in love with your music. And the videos where you attempted to make a song in a certain amount of time always gave me a good laugh. Your videos and music have inspired me and I’m sure plenty of others. Here’s to the new year and the new decade.
Hope you got *some* sleep this week. Now it's time for a break my boi!
I really liked the way you told a story with this one. And the medley itself was nice as well, which I wasn't sure would be the case in the beginning, given how different some of the songs are, like evil chef or weird forest themes, but it still meshed nicely. See you next year! Perhaps I manage to watch your stream live for once :P only possible when you go really overtime, since I'm one of these european guys ^^
Where does he stream? I want to watch one but can't find it
@@nevanada2961 www.twitch.tv/shadycicada/ here you go! He sometimes does music, like the "In x minutes" series, but he usually plays games like Zelda or Mario. Actually, until now I've ONLY see him stream Zelda or Mario games when he doensn't do music.
I just found your channel, and I'll glad that I did!
Congratulations!
You have a new subscriber!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Btw, this sounds like a whole goddamn anime.
Good job!
Shady Cicada is consistently great at what he does. Long story short, I want to buy a game with a Shady Cicada soundtrack.
Shady, you made a song out of just Oboes in ten minutes and you made it sound GOOD. Don't ever doubt that you're getting better because that alone is a feat that probably next to nobody could pull off. You keep shaking this earth as you do, after all, as I believe you said in one of your videos, "It would be a boring story if the hero were to give up, now wouldn't it?"
Ok, honestly whoever called you a rip out , probably says, "Achually, 2021 is the decades end."
And that inspirational speech at the end, you don't need that, why, because you inspire people with your music. I've made more drawings than I can count while listening to your 10 minute series or any music you create. You're no rip-off, and people who say you are probably ripped off neck-beards.
2019 really has been a great year with your music Shady and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. You’ve inspired so many people to follow their dream and we’re happy to see you on the road to fulfilling yours!
this medley sure be rattlin’ me ole bones
Shady, in all honesty, I think all of your doubts are unfounded. I don’t think you are a rip off in any way. You definitely have your own unique and distinguishable sound. I discovered you a while back from one of your how to make a.... videos and thought it was cool but kinda forgot about it. Then I rediscovered you more recently and was like “oh yeah I remember this guy” and started watching more of your vids and honestly thought you were great! I subbed and have been watching you since. Usually when I watch my daily subscriptions, I save stuff for last that is the most entertaining but theres always a few channels that I cant wait till last to watch because they are just too good and I know that before tapping on the video. You are one of those few channels. I always watch your stuff first. Because not only does your humor make me laugh my ass off, but your music is fantastic and I love all the various genres you experiment with. In fact I hope you keep experimenting more and more because those are some of my favorite songs. You may or may not see this comment Shady, but either way I hope you know you are doing great work and you got people that believe in you so just keep rocking!
Cheers to the great music and year you've had! You have an amazing talent and deserve all the good things that come your way. ❤ Rock on, dude!
If your game idea ever becomes a thing, this should definitely be the credits theme
