The Red Means I Love You (Album Version) - Madds Buckley 

Toga's song gets a revamp!!! Since the song was released more than a year before the record, I wanted to revisit it so the newer version would fit better sonically with the album. That, and I wanted it to be creepier! I've never had so much fun laughing in my entire life!

I can't tell which version i like better! The first recording was unhinged passionate while this version is stalkery passionate. They are such different vibes but both work so well with this song

i love the jazzy undertones so much- honestly the talent is unbelievable

"Cause my insides are red, and yours are too." True. I mean *LITERALLY TRUE*

This takes girl in red to a different level

the whispering harmonies in the pre-chorus and chorus then bridge. the slight swing, the slow build in each verse, god this is so gorgeous and so genius and so perfect for toga

Not a MHA fan but DAMN does this song slap!

this "toga" person seems like a peaceful person update: she has a knife please help me

Both version gives me the chills

this version is SO expressive i am absolutely in love

Honestly, if you took her violent side out of the picture, she would actually be a great partner. Honest, cute, good singer, funny, what else could you ask for?

I ADORE both versions of this song! The first version was incredibly unhinged; someone who was truly deranged and the music showed that as well with the loudness to it. This version, however, while showing similar aspects, is more tone downed which somehow makes it more creepy. You hear how unhinged the singer is, but it’s almost as if the music is trying to hide it with its more calm nature. And it’s not until the end where the manic laugh comes in, when the music is quiet, where you see how the singer is in fact crazy as hell. A little difficult to explain my thought process, but hope I got my point across. Wonderful song, Madds, everyone who worked on it did so beautifully!

Toga being beaten by her parents for how she smiles and how her smile looks really makes me feel mad at the way the system has failed her. It's obvious that she was abused and mistreated and people treat people so badly for their quirks and there's no system to actually handle that kind of thing. There needs to be something to deal with the parents who don't like how their kids come out. Or that they don't like how their quirks are. Toga is a victim of child abuse.

The author urge to blast this in my headphones in a coffee shop while I write my characters into the worst versions of themselves 😍 That actually sounds exquisite. I’m gonna do that tomorrow over my tall sweet cream cold brew from Starbucks. (Great drink you should try it.)

Love this song. Also immediately made me think of the show Hannibal, which is another plus bc the vibes in that show were impeccable

1:55 YA’LL- I CAN’T ITS SO AMAZING

pov: your love language is physical touch lol

Unusual They say strange fascination, infatuation A lunatic Call me what suits your taste, I just wanna taste And I've always heard it's what's inside that counts Cause my insides are red And yours are too And the red on my face Is matching you And goodness you're bleeding What a wonderful feeling You're down and you're pleading My head is just reeling The Red means I love you Tasting your blood means I love you The Red means I love you The Red means I love you Unfortunate They say such a shame, I turned out this way A maniac Well, yeah I get manic when I cause a panic And of course I'm excited when I see you around Cause my insides are red And yours are too And the red on my face Is matching you And goodness you're bleeding What a wonderful feeling You're down and you're pleading My head is just reeling The Red means I love you Tasting your blood means I love you The Red means I love you The Red means I love you You leave me high and dry A rush comes to my mind At the drops Of blood you leave behind Run as you might, my love will never, ever Stop And I've always heard it's what's inside... Cause my insides are red And yours are too And the red on my face Is matching you And goodness you're bleeding What a wonderful feeling You're down and you're pleading My head is just reeling The Red means I love you Tasting your blood means I love you The Red means I love you The Red means I love you The Red means I love you Tasting your blood means I love you The Red means I love you The Red means I love you

Took me almost the whole song to hear the laughs but like when I did... wow the talent not only in that but the vocals too

This gives me sadistic vibes. I love it

Wearing earbuds during 3:20 - 4:21 Is just chilling (The laughter 😃)

I normally prefer the originals rather than the revamps but this is a big big step up from the original. Big applause

Absolutely love this, especially the laughter beginning from the final pre-chorus and it growing until the song's very end. It show more of her unhinged state and her embracing madness. Both versions are absolute gems in their own unique ways so I really can't choose one over the other!

oh my goooosh this version is so ggood the original is already amazing, this version is just so mature and sophisticated aa i love that the listener can see how you’ve grown as an artist and musician!!

2:38 The BEST part about this remake, is not only because it’s better in general, but also this sick ass guitar solo! I NEED an instrumental version of this song!!!

the buildup at the end makes me feel like I’m going slowly insane in a movie, I love it so much 😭

I love it! Love how all parts make up a chaotic ensemble. It really mirrors the intricacies of an unsound mind from mania

My family was extremely concerned when they saw me bopping to this song 😂

The original song was amazing enough, but the revamp is somehow even more amazing! It just sounds a little crazier you know, as if like toga was actually singing it to someone. Bravo I say, bravo!

the laugh at the end is perfect, it gives me chills

I love the little hearts in the eyes. It's such a small unnecessary detail that just adds so much.

I absolutely love Instruments on this one more but I love the vocals on the original I’d love to see them mixed but all in all both versions are so enjoyable 💖

Both versions are so amazing I’m obsessed with this song so it’s nice to hear a second version I can’t tell what one I like better

THE MANIACAL LAUGHTER!!! 😩😩😩

Y’all are sleeping on this version both are good but this one is so much more polished 😫

Ok. This is totally my favorite version of this song. The laughing gave it that extra creepy little effect. So awesome!

The laugh at the end gave me chills, love this song ❤

the voice in this sounds so much more unhinged than the spotify version and it really works I love it

BABE WAKE UP! A NEW VERSION OF THE RED MEANS I LOVE YOU JUST DROPPED

Pure art. I’ve listened to the album on loop and have all the songs from RU-vid recorded so I can listen offline since I don’t have data or Wi-Fi-less streaming apps

I ADORE THIS VERSION OMG!!!

Stumbled across this song without knowing it was about Toga, and while listening to the lyrics, I was like "Hey this is a perfect song for Toga!" LOL, I think that just proves how perfect this song is! I love it!

THE LAUGHING GAVE ME SO MANY CHILLS

OMG I LOVE THIS VERSION! Why? It feels realistic!

I def need a 10 hour version of this 😭

Oh my god this sounds like a song from a musical. Absolutely amazing

This song has no right...being this fucking good. I've listened to it like 10 times in the past hour! Amazing job!!

Ironically, i used this song as inspiration for a character from london with a vampire quirk, so- honestly, 1: great song! 2: thanks for helping me get past art block! 😅😄

I CANT WITH THIS HAND WHEN THEY SAY “the red means I love you~” MY GOD I CANT THE VOCALS THE EVERYTHING 😍😍

I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH ESPECIALLY THE REVAMP!!!

literal chills

That laugh still makes me feel a certain way 😩🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️

its funny on how this fits the Character Cutthroat too well from him being obsessed with red and blood plus him being crazy in love with Swindler. the anime im talking about is Akudama Drive and if you watch the series you will soon understand why this song matches Cutthroat.

Can I just say that this art is just sooo beautiful

Me:What dose the red mean? The song: THE RED MEANS I LOVE YOU

It took me listening to this I dont even know how many times to realize the laughing starts before the music stops

this song is literally so relatable

I came here looking for the original version and found this gem. I haven't gotten goosebumps from a song in a long while damn

This has such a showtune feel to it, and i'm loving it.

I discovered this song. And then I discovered you. Gurl, you can SING! I wanna cover this song.

Okay so when I first heard this I didn't know it was for Toga and I messaged my friend (an absolute god damned weeb) that this song was in my recommended with major yandere vibes going on. Long story short my friend recognised the song and now we're both obsessed. This has been your storytime with the local satan of fruitiness, farewell and goodnight/day whenever you are reading this.

I ADORE both versions of this song, I have both of them on my playlist mainly because they give me a different vibe- even tho the lyrics are the same-

I prefer this version over the original, the slight echo, the slight hint of laughter adds to the atmosphere of slowly being bled to death in a Psychopa- I mean anime fan's basement.

My favorite music artist madds buckley ❤❤

all've it is epik, i listen to it like- everyday, on repeat. for hours. toga's my second favriote character too!

An ABSOLUTE banger! Gonna be listening to this one on repeat!

I don’t even know what to say you killed it

You're genuinely so talented

This is absolutely amazing 🤩 . I found your music tonight and it was exactly what I needed!❤️

This is amazing!!

I really enjoy this song because it can apply to anything and not just my hero academia. Really amazing work.

not me haven't watched mha but blasting this song

the laughs give me power

Oh my goodness- Thank you RU-vid for recommending me this absolute m a s t e r p i e c e of a song! The vibes are immaculate and your voice is just so gorgeous, no amount of praise in words can express how much I adore this. ^^

is it bad that this is one of my favorite songs?

While I prefer the old one, this turned out great, actually one of the better things I've listened to recently

So this song was recommended to me by Spotify and I absolutely loved (and still do) the musical vibes of this song so I put it in my liked songs. I've always visualized Toga singing this song because it matches her so well, and lo and behold, I decided to look up the artist to hear more of her music and I learn that it's literally who I based it on. Friggin wild...

I just can't stop listening!! it's like Toga is singing to someone, and it's probably Izuku, and I imagine that when she laughs it's like she kills him (like the first boy Toga loved) that's how I imagine!,but the song has a singing vibe that willingly!

This is actually how i feel with this guy and thats mostly likely how i will said how much i love him ❤💀🩸

The guitar in this song is great!!!! what a cool music

Absolutely love this song!!!! ✨❤️🩸✨

Oh my god. I love the original dearly, but GOD I LOVE THIS SO MUCH MORE??? You nailed the instability so hard! The art looks amazing too.

I've been listening this on Spotify and I love this song sm

love this song so much! I hear it all day long! thank you

I dont really know about if these ocs have had presence elsewhere of if they're ocs at all or if Madds has put a full story for them somewhere but a gay relationship with the bloody and unhinged song is very good and i needed it

This is amazing! I love the new sound! :)

I was listening to the new Hazbin Hotel songs and this song came third in the random playlist and at first since it wasn't what I was originally listening to I almost skipped it but then I waited a few more seconds and started liking the voice of the singer so I let play and ended up enjoying the song

I’m obsessed with this song! ❤ thank you for this amazing music!

Oh maaaaaaaaaa I'm in love 😍😍😍😍 Madds u rock as hell aaaaaaa

Omg this was soooooo good

YOU WROTE THIS SONG??? THIS IS AWESOME!!!

this song made history! and many memories for me, along with it.. I adore you and your talent.

One word perfect just perfect

I FREAKING LOVE THIS SONGGGG AHHH!

Bro I had been listening to this song for a while and my brain did not connect a to b that maybe the Song "The Red Means I Love You" on Spotify by Madds Buckley is the same as the Madds Buckley on youtube.... I feel like a dingus.

Always leaves my speechless

I adore this
