Human--OrionAndArtemis (littletophatgal)

[littletophatgal]

Performed under my musical name, "Orion and Artemis". It's the ending credits song to The White Cat (it'll be revamped by then though), as well as one of the songs performed within it. I can gladly say EVERYTHING in this is owned by me, including the instrumental/bg (whatever you wanna call it) and the actual visual.

I really like it. It's different and it's certainly not something I'd expect to see on VAA. The ambient background noise is supposed to feel slightly soothing, yet the filters layered on your voice turn the atmosphere cryptic. It draws me back to the title of the song, "Human". This is perhaps the only item I can criticize; I'm trying to focus in on the lyrics, but I can't seem to pick most of the words out. Not certain if this could be resolved through vocal delivery or editing.

The animations are nice as well : ) They may be old random clips, but the color themes and the static-ish filter on top of the animations definitely align it properly to the song.

Thank you SO much. I was so worried people would interpret everything as being bad and was afraid of even putting it up for awhile. If you've heard of Florence and the Machine, I was kinda inspired by them as far as atmosphere. Oh, and as far as lyrics go, here they are.

Shouldn't it be okay to just live for yourself?

No such thing as two like days
When you're living in a haze
Don't let anyone decide for you
What kind of life you have to live through
Step by step, do anything
Long as you're pulling the strings

Shouldn't it be okay to just live for yourself?
No one got anywhere with perfection
So I'll laugh and cry whenever I tell myself
All I'm asking for is to be human

I'm tired of being caught
In a web of my own thoughts
Or at least what people say are mine
What's the difference anyway? Define
Who's me and take a step back
This deck of cards is my stack

No one got anywhere with perfection
So I'll laugh and cry whenever I tell myself
All I'm asking for is to be human

Shouldn't it be okay to just live for yourself?
No one got anywhere with perfection
So I'll laugh and cry whenever I tell myself
All I'm asking for is to be human
