When I'm on a never missing competition and my opponent is acloudyskye

i stayed up until midnight for this

Woke up middle of the night. Just turned 26, lots of changes are occurring in my life, and honestly I'm having trouble keeping my cool through this process. I see this was uploaded. I grab my best (albeit cheap) headphones... and just have an absolutely heavenly experience for 45 minutes. Legitimately forgot about my worries until just now, I thank you for the brief, melodic respite. ^^

I know this might not be noticed. But I still wanted to thak you Skye, I've been a fan of yours for some years now, and it's been a blast seeing how your music grows, how your digital art improves and in general, your art evolves. It's never failed to inspire me, and give me wonder. It's been kind of a rough going this last few years, but I still manage to find joy in interacting with your art and your wolrd, and for that, thank you. Truthfuly and from the bottom a my heart, thank you. Signed, A stranger forever in gratitude ^^

This is the backdrop to my trip to Vermont to see the 2024 total solar eclipse. Sitting here right now on the edge of a lake waiting for totality. It's started 🌙

Fossils is so good

already listened on spotify, I'm crying 😭 the music is so good

If you don’t have any fans, I’m dead. I listen to your music every single day and you’re so skilled it’s pretty much a guarantee that you’re gonna but it big. People this good don’t stay small. Keep it up! 👊

that alteration from "...that I'm trying" to "...I was trying" on Ends destroys me

SKYE YOU'RE KILLING IT 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

ALL LYRICS *RELAY* 00:00 I know how this will end Oh I had that dream again Where I'd see you underneath And you're reaching out for me Those words I never meant But I had to save a friend And if only there was time Maybe then I'd make it right Then a static fills the air All the clouds are drawing near So I turned to look around And I saw that you were there So we spoke and then I left I'll breathe the air again All the hurt I couldn't let You take all of the rеst And I know this isn't right To leave you therе in the night But you reap the things I sow When it's out of your control Then a static fills the air All the clouds are drawing near So I turned to look around And I saw that you were there Then it stops and disappears All my thoughts are finally cleared So we'll end how we begin And I finally let you in Oh there must be something here 4x *SURFACE* 6:23 Was it only fair To keep you out my mind I left it in the air Though trying as I might I'm sliding down the walls Running through the dark But I couldn't get that far And if you're there can you hear it They're shooting flares in the distance But they won't find a trace of us We'll be gone when the morning comes Then it's pouring out The things that you once said The sun is going down And drowning out the rest The radios went out The static hides our breathes Running towards the edge And if you're there can you hear it They'rе shooting flares in the distance But thеy won't find a trace of us Fall away beneath the dust And if you're there can you hear it They're shooting flares in the distance But they won't find a trace of us Fall away beneath the dust And if you're there can you hear it They're shooting flares in the distance But they won't find a trace of us We'll be gone when the morning comes *FLARES* 10:55 How many chances do I get For you to pull me down again Move to a place inside my head Falling away from where I stand I got caught chasing loose ends You brought me further away from them Feet on the ground and it all made sense That I need something That's out of reach from me So just hold on back looking through the gaps and you'll see What's been missing And then it gets to me Walls closing in, slowly Then it's hard to breathe I will try and think of the things We could be I spent too long on broken things By now it's probably killing me Stare at the mirror never blink The things I didn't want to see You're scared to talk about your drеams I'm scared I'll mess up evеrything Wash down my worries go to sleep That I need something That's out of reach from me So just hold on back looking through the gaps and you'll see What's been missing And then it gets to me Walls closing in slowly Then it's hard to breathe I will try and think of the things We could be *TEAM* 14:39 Slowly speaking off the top of your head Do you ever think about the things that I said? Home's disappearing and the forest forgets I'm waiting outside at the bottom of the steps And I know this time will be different Two tries, our lives quickly shifting Headlights point in our direction Red light, blue light, pay attention Will you be there after? What's the worth in words if they just end up a mess? You said to forgive the ones who hurt you instead I swear that I never tried to makе you upset But I told you I'd rather do anything elsе than that And I know this time will be different Two tries, our lives quickly shifting Headlights point in our direction Red light, blue light, pay attention (slowly fading out) Just like how you say it's ending Oceans dried up, forests burning Despite all my good intentions Our team won't be the exception *DEPTHS* 17:45 Love, I tried to warn you There's a pit in my stomach And I should've listened Faith, you must have lost it When I let you down I'll find my way out Take, all that you're given Push it aside You never had time Truth, I tried to ignore it But secrets are poison And slowly it seeped in Stay, I say it's too dangerous But you didn't care You know who you are Futures, am I still involved in Do I want to know How far down this goes Something's taken over You're not coming back No, something's taken over You're not coming back Something's taken over You're not coming back No, something's takеn over You're not coming back *QUICKSAND* 23:26 (Instrumental) *FOSSILS* 26:32 After all the good has left I won't be your argument Under faults I'm caving in I don't know how I fall for this *DITCH* 29:55 Fever coming down Light touching the ground by your fingers and I will be the sound Of a thousand glaciers crashing down Came from underneath Wandered too far too deeply and now There's red above the clouds And I don't think we'll make it out I hope for all that's after Cause I'd hate for all this to end Beautiful stranded creatures Hate us for all that we did And if that doors still open I hope you never go in And if that doors still open That's where we left what we hid And if this is our goodbye I'm not running back this time Wе stood there for awhile Motionlеss until You held your hand in mine And I've never felt so clear Then you were in the air And I think so was I I hope for all that's after Cause I'd hate for all this to end Beautiful stranded creatures Hate us for all that we did And if that doors still open I hope you never go in And if that doors still open It must've found its way in Whatever's up ahead I will see it through Underneath the leaves There's a part of us in you I was such a fool Thinking it was me I hope for all that's after Cause I'm scared of what's coming next Something outside my vision Passed by the place it begins I think there's something after Cause I know this isn't the end Poison ran through the river Down by where we used to swim Down by where we used to swim *LEFT* 33:56 When all the words go, all the way out where the fire starts I'll travel there cold, didn't know why til I found you there The stratosphere comes, and radiowaves scattered everywhere I know if I go, I would know what it's like to disappear And I know this is love (Tell me if you feel the same) I'd follow you to the edge (Someone else can take my place) A message from below (Whеn I'm out of things to say) You said under your breath (Would you follow me that way) And my hеart is in your hands (Is there nothing I can do) Do what you have to (Hoping I remember you) Left to bitter ends (Oh, I try to carry through) I know that you want to (But my arms are turning blue) Then all you said falls, all burning inside til it's left a hole You try and get close, it's hard to get why til you said it's here The stratosphere goes, wondering how you made it this far You couldn't let go, now you're pacing it back where they'll never know But I know this is love (Tell me if you feel the same) I'd follow you to the edge (Someone else can take my place) A message from below (When I'm out of things to say) You said under your breath (Would you follow me that way) And my heart is in your hands (Is there nothing I can do) Do what you have to (Hoping I remember you) Left to bitter ends (Oh I try to carry through) I know that you want to (But my arms are turning blue) And if I had any luck (I was scared of what you'd say) I'd let it fall behind (If it's ending up that way) You know I went too far (Did you lie to keep me safe) And you're the reason why (Do you wish that I could stay) And I know this is love I'd follow you to the edge A message from below You said under your breath And my heart is in your hands Do what you have to Left to bitter ends I know that you want to And I know you now And I'm walking back I close my eyes My arms spread out *ENDS* 40:49 Something underneath Boils up again Now it's in the trees Floating through the air Drifting out to sea One day it will sink Then it's in the rivers The water I will drink I know there will be (I didn't mean for this to end) Something after me (I felt a little overwhelmed) I'll make it far but (I'll find you in another place) I won't be winning (And I won't make the same mistakes) I know there must be (I think of all the things I'll miss) Someone there who's watching (I'm acting like a fool about it) Just a blur in my vision (Wish you could see thе view from there) Turn around disappеaring (I could see the static in the air) I'm going home again For once my head is clear I didn't even think That there was something there I've been away so long I'm worried I forgot How to say the things that I meant How I used to feel back then I know there will be (I didn't mean for this to end) Something after me (I felt a little overwhelmed) I'll make it far but (I'll find you in another place) I won't be winning (And I won't make the same mistakes) I know there must be (I think of all the things I'll miss) Someone there who's watching (I'm acting like a fool about it) Just a blur in my vision (Wish you could see the view from there) Turn around disappearing (I could see the static in the air) I'd say I'm sorry (I think you've been too hard on yourself) I can't change what's been started (You thought nobody there could tell) Don't you see that I'm trying (Forget the names of everyone else) Don't you see I was trying

Yo i was boutta go to sleep and put some music on but then this dropped so i can sleep well

just so special

I don't know necessarily WHY RU-vid recommended me this but I am really glad it did. Absolutely my favorite album of the year so far

My (current) ranking of the songs in this album: 10. Quicksand - Out of Skye's more atonal, dubstep-esque songs this is one of the best, and I love the percussion. Unfortunately the style isn't _totally_ my thing (especially the electric guitar) but I still vibe to this greatly. 8/10 9. Fossils - Nothing too special here, just a gradual build up of instruments followed by some vocals. It's pretty good, even if it's nothing crazy. 8/10 8. Team - This is one of the two more chill, guitar & vocal based tracks. There's not much to say here, but I love the background instrumentation and the break section is really nice. The fact it's in 3/4 also gives it a unique, lullaby feel. 8.2/10 7. Ends - It's very similar to Team, but the backing vocals and sound design add a whole new dimension that elevates the song past its cousin, even if it also lacks many of the aspects I like about Team. 8.2/10 6. Flares - There's not too much to say here. It's just a fun, catchy, upbeat, pop song with some rock elements and pleasant instrumentation. I'm not crazy about the overdrive guitar but it clearly works better in here than in Quicksand. 8.5/10 5. Ditch - This is another pop/rock song, but I prefer it to Flares because of a) the faster speed, b) the piano and c) I just generally prefer the vocal and guitar melodies here. 9/10 4. Left - I'll be honest I was expecting better but this is still great. Everything from the melodies to the instruments to the lyrics give off a really nice vibe, and even if the melodic "drop" wasn't _quite_ as good as I was expecting for the penultimate track of the album this will (hopefully) still go down in history as one of Skye's finest songs. 9.2/10 3. Depths - This seems like a strange choice for such a high ranking, but hear me out: the guitar progression here is genuinely beautiful, and complimented perfectly by the vocals and drums, and the melodic drop worked SO WELL for the song. It also deserves bonus points for facilitating the transition between the beginning of the album and Quicksand. Everything about this is great. 9.7/10 2. Relay - The buildup here is great, with all the instruments (and even lyrics) coming together to create a sense that something big is coming up, AND THE SONG DELIVERS ON ITS PROMISES. The melodic drop here is Legendary, and the airier sound design sets this song apart from other similar drops. Also, I love acloudyskye piano, 9.7/10 1. Surface - AND IF YOU'RE THEEEEEEEEEEEEEERE CAN YOU HEAR IT: THEY'RE SHOOTING FLAAAAAAAAAARES IN THE DISTANCE. This is one of the few acloudyskye songs that made me actively want to loudly sing along to it, with possibly the catchiest vocal melody (and counter melody) Skye has ever written. Plus, that synth lead in the break section is a great bonus, and the speed is PERFECT. This is peak acloudyskye rock, 10/10 Final score: 9/10

legitimately stunned by this album the singles were already hype enough but the rest of the album... wow

Always gets a tear or two out of me with every album, Lilys vocals were also a very nice touch

You capture overcast and foggy days perfectly You will soundtrack many storms in my life.

This is the best thing to happen since whatever the last best thing was.

I'm just gonna vent here, because honestly I don't really have another place to do it. The public comments section of a youtube video feels more safe for me than private chats with others. I saw this released 4 days ago and almost watched it immediately, but I had other things on my mind at the moment, so I put it on my "to-do soon" list. I've been dealing with a lot of stress lately and, to be frank, really not dealing with it well. I've been falling into vices that consume far too much of my time and only act as escapes, never providing clarity or relief. 2 nights ago, I had my second stress dream. The first one was just over a week earlier. I've been dealing with the consequences of that, and talked about it with my therapist when I met with them later that week after the first one. Today, I woke up after having slept through my first class; I haven't been able to make it at all for about 2 or 3 weeks. Later, I talked with my therapist again. I noticed that the relationship we spent a while working with was partially failing, and I wasn't really sure why. I felt like I was under attack when we discussed my problems, and it was hard to communicate. I happened to remember that you had released an album that I hadn't listened to yet, and decided to do so after the meeting. The music you've made has always felt like a safe space when I've taken the time to listen, so I figured it'd be more like that. I was expecting something a little different than what the album was, but that's just how things are sometimes. It really didn't feel like as much of the sort of "I'm finally letting you behind these emotional walls I've built" that has been the case for the last two albums (WDYW!, BRLCTaP), which I felt would let me take a moment to have peace with myself. Instead, it felt much more "tough". Rather than the sort of "lashing out" that could be interpreted your earlier works (WMH, Pressure B-Side), it felt more like dealing with everything you had buried long ago, getting unearthed without ceremony. It's not really how I was feeling at the moment, but as the album went on, my thoughts kept going back to the one friend whose life I ruined a long time ago. I ended up having a dream involving them recently where I had somehow messed up their life even worse, though I didn't think much of it when I woke up. I've distanced myself from this person, after they informed me after some time that I had messed up enough to not merit a friendship anymore, which I simply accepted. I had indeed fucked up big time, so I felt it was deserved, almost. I almost feel I should reconnect with them. It's not like I haven't had these strange sorts of "not necessarily friends but still talking" relationships before -- they're partially the norm for me to establish out of almost thin air. I just don't think I should unearth the trauma I put them through, if they've managed to put it behind them. At the same time, I feel someone who has no connections to anything you do, even if you dislike them, can be a better confidant than someone who knows you best; their inaccessibility insulates them from impacting you. Even though I've already damaged them and betrayed their trust, and there's no going back, I can't put the thought out of my head. It's selfish, and I know that. Except, I've built myself into a different person completely after they said "no". I could stand to lose much of what I built my identity upon if we started talking again, even if it was meaningless, even if it was just to vent, even if it meant everything. I can't really identify why I want to talk to them again, either. I still have their contact information in my phone, and I still know their address. Maybe when I get home on spring break, I'll send a card, maybe with a link/drive to show them what I'm doing these days and contact info. My family hasn't moved either, so they'd have a fair chance to identify it as me and reject it. Maybe I'm overthinking this and should just put the thoughts to rest, but it might be time to finally get this skeleton out of my closet. If you've taken the time to read this, well... thanks, I guess. I don't really get anything out of you reading it. I just felt the need to put these thoughts out there. I haven't asked for feedback or anything, this was mostly just to vent, but feel free to leave it if you want. And if you are the person that I'm talking about... hi. I still have my old email but don't check it often. Can't imagine that you'd be reading this, but I've had more improbable things happen.

Thank you for your work! Congratulations on the release of the album! It really is something incredible. Your music really inspires me to work on myself to get better as a musician. There is a lot of energy and emotion put into this music, and it can be felt. Thank you for your creativity, keep it up because you are doing something very unique and heartfelt!

i woke up at 1 am with 15 dms telling me to listen to this AND IT IS ALREADY SO GOOD i cant wait to make it to end of the album skye you have COOKED

And I thought Flares was first... From Relay to Ends, such an amazing album. Ends had me in tears; Keep up the amazing work, as always!

I keep coming back to this, the transition from Depths to Quicksand is incredibly satisfying and I can't stop listening to it absolutely phenomenal album

This is genuinely one of the best albums ever made

huh didnt even realise this was released today! ive been listening to flares for ages!

you are one of the most unique artists ive ever come across, every song is a masterpiece.

I saw this on spotify didn't know it was BRAND new, fucking incredible like always

It feels like that's so much more than just music...

Absolutely outstanding work Skye, I found your music through Beat Saber custom maps of all things back in 2021 and have been a devout listener since. Life's been a bit rough for me recently, but I always turn on one of your albums and suddenly everything becomes a bit easier to handle. Keep up the good work, I'll be here cheering you on always!

Amazing album. Thanks for all the incredible music skye! You really helped me get through a hard time in my life with "what do you want!", and this album kinda reminds me that I'm in a better place

what an experience

its my first time discovering your music. but i feel like ive just stumbled into a treasure trove. immediately after listening to this, i went and played your other albums, 'blood rushing like current through a powerline' especially, and i cant believe ive been missing your music in my life.

WHAT. THIS ALBUM IS LITERALLY MY FAVORITE ALBUM OF ALL TIME. Not just saying that, legit this is my favorite album that I've ever listened to. Even before it released I loved Surface in particular but all of them were easily in my top 10, but Lost is literally the most beautiful thing I have heard since Spells. Skye you have literally outdone yourself. This is why you are my fav artist like ever... also PLEASE RELEASE A VINYL I NEED THIS ON MY PLAYER IMMEDIATELY

Every comment here says what I want to. This is great. Keep it up.

You somehow keep producing the best songs to write to

a new album im excited :)

Ditch and Left "left" me in complete aw. Absolutely incredible album Skye!🔥❤

Just about finished the entire album. I LOVE EVERY SONG. THEY ARE ALL SO GOOD. I heard multiple other songs like Out to Sea and I think I also heard Somewhere Out There, anyways, love your music!!

There's something so heartfelt about this album. I think it's the fuck ton of guitar that does it for me. When that processing on the guitars in Depths hit I knew I was going to be in for a ride. Also can I just say I love Left so much, especially with how vocal-forward the mix is! Same with Ends, but I noticed it especially in Left. Maybe it's just me making shit up, but I feel like in the past Skye's vocals have largely taken a back seat to the instrumentation, but here especially towards the end of the album it's so much more of a presence, and I love it. I don't think I've ever gotten a chance to fully appreciate how smooth his voice is until now. Lily also did an incredible job with the extra vocals. That call and response is just so pretty. I found the new album I'll be listening for months on end completely non-stop I think! I've only listened through once but I'm already in love with this work just as I was with What Do You Want and Blood Rushing. Incredible work.

Thank you for the music, along with the album on my birthday

and as always, another banger! you never miss. keep up the amazing job!

Every single song in this album is incredible

I just heard your music once and found gold ❤.

left is genuinely such a goddamn good song, i have been waiting for a song exactly like it for such a long time and it absolutely hits the spot, such an incredible song. please never stop making music

I am a MASSIVE fan of all of your music ever since 'A Place Where Mountains Hide'! I've loved so many of your songs, please keep it up! I envy your amazing vocals, and your lyrics are so special and unique to me. Your song 'Relay' reminded me a lot of 'Somewhere Out There', my favorite song by anyone ever. Heavily underrated artist, you deserve much more attention on all your work. Thank you for producing such an amazing album yet again!

My eyes aren't ready for this

never fails to disappoint, such heartfelt lyrics, such an improvement in your singing and the production never fails to leave me astonished. Thank you so much Skye, your music does more than you know 🧡
