Shadow Shadow (English Cover)【Will Stetson】「Azari」 

THANK YOU FOR WATCHING!! we r back for round two!! it seems that azari is here to stay :D if azari sees this ily follow me on twitter if u would like to know how im doing!! twitter.com/stillwetson

I know that this is about depression, but it kind of hits different as someone with dermatillomania “In secret I will cry with a vicious little lie”-“In secret I will cry” can go for alot of things. Some choose to hide their scars, some dont. Personally for me, this related to more the “vicious little lie”. How I hate people seeing my pick. “I don’t know where to find who to blame at all this time”-it can be really frustrating how you can get stuck in a trance for hours, loosing so much time just suffering. “Sell your soul while you’re alive to that one devil that will buy”-sometimes it does feel like you’ve sold your soul. You feel possesed, because you keep hurting yourself and cant stop. It feels like a demon using your body to hurt you and torture you. “You’ll find once you pry that its so null so deep inside”-“prying” your skin off, but not feeling anything in terms of pain, because you’ve become numb, either from picking at said area so much or just from being in the trance. “So deep inside”, this one’s a little personal, but sometimes when i pick at skin on my stomach it literally feels like im digging around in my insides “In the dark and shining bright on your fingers hell resides”- again, first part is quite personal; i often find myself picking in the late afternoon, many times staying up an hour later than i want to because i just cant stop. More generally, though, “on your fingers hell resides” i feel would resonate with alot of people with the disorder who mainly pick using their nails/fingers. The hell is the blood residing on your fingers, under your nails, caking them, a gory mess. “Your mind’s ill and blind, it won’t hesitate for time”-“ill” in terms of it being a mental disorder, “blind” to the damage your causing, not hesitating for the amount of time spent on it because you’re in the trance “You’ll only find pain will turn to pleasure every time”-it can feel morbidly satisfying to smooth out a perceived flaw in your skin “You’ll hear it in your mind”-complusive, intrusive thoughts that are so intense you can almost hear them “I sigh, look inside after peeling skin of mine”-need I explain? I think this line is the very thing that started this interpretation of the song for me “Those ashes piling high with that emptiness they hide”-depending on how you pick, you can sometimes see little bits of nail/skin around the area. The emptiness is what you feel afterwards, after a while. Nothing. You grow numb to it. But for some, this emptiness may be that gut wrenching guilt. “That hand I call my right stained with lead will make me cry”-the “lead” in this situation being blood. The staining of blood, especially when you dont have the opportunity to readily wash your hands. And the smell of blood. The smell. That metalic smell. Its sickening.

He is in the quest of translating all of the nameless gods' songs

I am Japanese. I really like the way you have unified the vowels at the end of the sentence, just like the original Japanese version. I've become a fan of yours. Thank you.

Your music actually has gotten me into a lot of new artists I never would've found on my own. Fantastic cover!

「孤独な」を”now all alone”と翻訳するの凄い好きです。

Hands down one of the most talented people when it comes to singing japanese vocaloid songs in english. Amazing work once again

Azariの曲2つどっちもめっちゃ好きだからまじうれしいこれを歌ってくれるとは思わなかった

英語の語順でsellとかillとか、どうやって最後に配置するのかな？と思ってたら全然違う方法でちゃんと韻踏んでて「すげぇ…」ってなった

thank you for having me on board again to write lyrics for you will! brb selling my soul to ur vocals 🏃‍♀️🤲🤲

Just hearing the first 10 seconds has already made me bop, what a great cover!

props to you and your translator... too many English covers seem to forget a song needs to sound like well, a song, not strictly a translation. very good job keeping the feel and meaning of the lyrics while making it sound good

日本語で韻を踏んでる歌詞なのに英語でもそう聞こえる歌い方と歌詞にセンスしか感じない

hearing the english version reminds me even more of ibitsu, a (very graphic) horror manga about a gothic-lolita style demon. how the story goes it like this: a young girl in gothic-lolita clothes can be found sitting alone. she'll ask you: "would you have a little sister?" and the outcome will be gruesome no matter what you answer. the main reason this song reminds me of it is the art, its very similar to the design of the demon.

Gonna miss another premiere but I loved the last Azari one so I'll be sure to listen to it as soon as I can

1:23 THIS PARTTT IS SO GOODDDD. LIKE I GASPED YOU HAVE NO IDEA

日本語にない、1音に1単語が当たる他言語特有の感じがこの曲にすごく合ってる気がする

ちゃんと韻踏んでて感動した……すげえ

Yet another incredible cover as expected! If Will sees this ily

Will Stetsonさんの声が良い味だしてて好き

低音英語voiceがまじで耳の保養

Not gonna lie, your channel is the entire reason why I got into vocaloid and japanese song covers, I got an addiction to them. You should do a cover on Proto-Disco, it's really really good and I think your voice would be amazing for it!

聞きに来るのが遅れてしまった...azariさんの曲丁度ハマってたタイミングに歌ってくれるの本当に天才👏

この人の力強い歌い方めっちゃ好き

I think I understood the meaning of the song, which many commentators are looking for. So, let's get started. We are talking about a girl who got married after learning that her husband betrayed her "I mourn in secret the treacherous deception" in a fit of rage she accidentally killed him, she does not know who is to blame for what happened "it's a shame that I don't know who is to blame." In the alley, having signed a contract with the devil, she became his servant, a phantom, and began to kill even more "with a smile on my face, I'm not shy about killing." "HELL is already burning under your feet Don't think and walk, you've already gone crazy" - after killing a lot of people, she went crazy and can't stop. "The confused head will wait for the verdict" - after death under the contract, the devil will receive her soul, the same sentence. "Hyenas are still prowling around corners tonight" - at night they go out to kill people in alleys. "She was a saint - now she is naked" - she has always been a saint, but after that tragedy everything went downhill, and now her real essence is "naked". "The ritual. Push everyone and put yourself on a pedestal" - psychopaths always put themselves above ordinary people. "You will replace the pain with pleasure, and then you will hear without difficulty how the choir of restless souls is calling there ..." - the girl already wants to go to another world, cuts her veins, and hears the voices of souls who call her to HELL. "Take one last breath and slip out of your skin. I shake off the dust, leaving a void. The hand is taken away from the weight of the pain" - taking her last breath, her hand is taken away from her, which is covered in cuts, dying she would be released from her skin, shaking the dust and leaving only emptiness.

Hes voice fits this really well ^^ and now we know the en lyrics

Yes one more Still Wetson banger cover goes right in my playlist

めっちゃ良い…最高…

highly appreciate the effort of writing the lyrics you can rhyme while also putting in the English words from Japanese upload

0:11 In secret, I will cry with a vicious little lie I don’t know where to find who to blame at all this time This doubt will have a price that I mimic and I mime I’m all alone Shadow Shadow 0:25 Sell your soul while you’re alive to that one devil that will buy You’ll find, once you pry that it’s all null so deep inside Combine, smiling wide, don’t delay but kill and fight Now all alone Shadow Shadow 0:39 In the dark and shining bright, on your fingers, hell resides Your mind’s ill and blind, it won’t hesitate for time In answer to those lies, just be ready, chill, alright? Now all alone Shadow Shadow 0:57 Falling shy This love is rough outside, it’s sweetened when it dies And now tonight, seems hyenas run and hunt for life I’m feeling drunk and high on stabbing saints alive I’ll never recognize 1:11 Order right Just playing with our pride, go crush that foolish side You’ll only find pain will turn to pleasure every time 1:20 You’ll hear it in your mind, the shadows left behind dance to ballads that will die 1:39 Sell your soul while you’re alive to that one devil that will buy You’ll find, once you pry that it’s all null so deep inside Combine, smiling wide, don’t delay but kill and fight Now all alone Shadow Shadow 1:54 In the dark and shining bright, on your fingers, hell resides Your mind’s ill and blind, it won’t hesitate for time In answer to those lies, just be ready, chill, alright? Now all alone Shadow Shadow 2:08 I sigh, look inside after peeling skin of mine Those ashes piling high with that emptiness they hide That hand I call my right, stained with lead, will make me cry I’m all alone Shadow Shadow

Hell yeah, I’ve been waiting for this one! - Lots of love from me and Wario

Sadly this premieres in the middle of my chemistry class and we have a lab so no phone/earbuds D:

Found this artist through your covers. Love both the original and this, since I always love your covers!

This is my favorite Azari song, I'm so glad to hear this cover, it's great!

This song currently has me in a chokehold and is living rent free in my head. This song in general, cover or not, is criminally underrated for how hard it goes.

A BLESSING FROM THE LORD HOW! HOW! WHEN I LIKE A SONG, WILL STETSON MAKES AN ENGLISH VERSION OF IT!! DOES HE HAVE CAMERAS?? IS HE READING MY MIND!!???

I like the”sell your soul part” very much🎵🎵🎵

He has such pretty voice 😅

The pale girl in the video partnered by the masculine voice makes me think of a certain spirit. It has the appearance of a woman with a deep voice. It’s fitting.
