A Flashback, the cries of the cicadas, and you, who won’t return to my side. FW near the end(?) Click that flag! Scratch also messed with the quality so it sounds worse than it actually is. Not what you were expecting, right? Well, me neither! Until sometime at the end of March, or so when I heard KOMAINU on YT sing it, not only did I fall in love with their voice and instantly checked out more of their covers, I fell in love with the song too. I found the original, and decided that I would cover this song first! This is also partially because the cover I was making originally was being difficult with me as far as the mixing and vocal tracks went (some weren’t saving so i put it on hold), but this is what we have for now. I love the cicadas, and the train noises, as well as the very “by the ocean” vibe it has with the steel pans and the wave noises in the background. This was also an opportunity to mess with the way I mix my vocals, so tell me what you guys think! This is my favorite cover by far, and please drop a recommendation or two in the comments (vocaloid appreciated but i take all requests!!!) be kid friendly though (pg-13 or lower, and be careful even still there are 8 year olds around here….) AND!! The cover art (the wonderful artwork you see right there on the front page?), was very generously made by @SuperZeraora11 !!!, one of the 2 creators of the ForgeNHolo series and the main illustrator of FGODS! Everyone say “ thank you Zera. “!!! But this cover was actually so freaking difficult to work with so uh Why did I think this was a good idea ep3 Credits time!!!

And now, standing in that void of despair— You ran to the tracks, And you never looked back. So, You’re my friend. Of course I’ll take your hand in mine. So, You’re all by yourself, And you’ve nowhere to go, do you? But with things the way they are— We can love each other. It repeats— A flashback, the cries of the cicadas, and you, who won’t return to my side. Our matching keychains, Being torn apart forevermore. The girl with the pale-white skin, That the summer had stolen away. I want to be possessed by her— So badly that I’m at the point of tears. My true nature begins to break free, At the start of September, marked by the sound of chimes. A vase of flowers on the next victim’s desk— And the one who placed it, Happened to be me. It’s the truth, You’re the one to be blamed. So just look at me, and no one else. It’s the truth, You want someone to help you, Right? I took your drowning hands in mine— And placed a gentle kiss onto them. The softly smiling monsters, dug their claws into you, Until their own hearts were full and refreshed. Your skirt is uneven, now. A scream that seemed to slice the silence of summer, Echoes in the classroom, whose windows reflected the blue sky. “ You’re my friend. “ So, You’re my friend, So you can hold my hand in yours. So, You’re no longer here, And I’ve nowhere to go. If we were able to love each other— In that transparent world.. It repeats—… A flashback, the cries of the cicadas, and you, who won’t return to my side. Our matching keychains, Being torn apart forevermore. The girl with the pale-white skin, That the summer had taken with it. I want to be possessed by her— So badly that I’m at the point of tears. The invisible you, Just raised your finger— And pointed at me. (Ah…)
