Thinking about how kaveh’s version is almost always “we” as in artists because he felt like he had to represent his darshan and advocate the arts in general but alhaitham’s version is “I” and “You” as individuals…
Another fun thing is that, even in the terms of both the characters and the songs, Kavehs part is complete even without alhaithams, while alhaithams directly encompasses Kavehs part, just like how while Kaveh builds a technically completed house with the walls, Alhaitham finishes it with the floor and the roof, furthering the completion, Kaveh can exist separately but is not fully recognized without Alhaithams part and of course the analogy of the fact without a wall to hold it up the roof cannot protect the house from rain, as how Alhaitham cannot protect Kaveh from himself unless Kaveh accepts to “hold up the roof”
3:49, damn this scene it's like kaveh showing off his works and then al haitham there watching him, knowing the hardwork he takes to create that building
Everything is finally piecing together, who knew kavetham would be the endgame to all of this? (I still and forever will love this song and this ship. You did an amazing job!)
The overlapping paired with the moments where the lyrics match really well sum up Kaveh and Al Haitham’s relationship, just as well as these songs do. It’s so beautiful
3:31 I am OBSESSED with the way the layering of the songs really convey Kaveh trapped in his own self-destructive spiral, and Alhaitham desperately clawing him out from the rubble of his mind.
I love how the chorus is hearing both their perspective - One from the man locked inside a cage of his own making but to him his situation is normal, even if painful - The other from outside the cage, seeing what it's doing to him and wants things to be better for him
2:13 the crossover of "remains inside" and "is locked inside" was gorgeous. just, the idea of kaveh still kidding himself that he has a choice in leaving a part of him behind in every creation he makes, but alhaitham, the voice of reason, realising earlier how kaveh cannot escape his nature. god. this ship will be the death of me, istg /pos
Lyrics: Kaveh: palaces of silver and gold can not be designed over night Alhaitham: not paying mind to what you've been told "you try to do right its futile" Together: Alhaitham: you're always on edge and you strive for perfection Kaveh: you have to be careful you have to be diligent Kaveh and alhaitham: planning and measuring every detail Kaveh: erasing then drawing erasing then drawing again Alhaitham:i watch you draw, erase, draw and then black out again Kaveh: and i've never been in it for fame it attention i only work hard so the structures wont fail Alhaitham: and you never admit wanting fame or attention you only work hard is your structures won't fail Kaveh: seeing it finished is worth every mora i spend Alhaitham: is seeing it finished worth every mora you spend? Alhaitham and kaveh: within every building make with pride The architect lives on inside Shining paint, a marble heart Kaveh: that's what makes a work of art Alhaitham: tirelessly makes works of art Kaveh:we build and we play Alhaitham: you buld day by day Kaveh: building dreams out of clay Alhaitham: sculpt your dreams out of clay Kaveh: with the hope that our towers don't fall Alhaitham: but you hope that your towers don't fall Kaveh: so we don't have to see the writing on the wall Alhaitham: you i don't have to see the writing on the wall Alhaitham: keeping track of all your mistakes Kaveh: the more you work the higher the stakes and the bigger the sorrows to drown Alhaitham: i come to say, "that's not all it takes for your walls to come crumbling down." Kaveh: crumbling down You have to ignore them The echoing voices That cackle and cruse as you toil away Alhaitham: cover your ears and fill your heart with the lies Kaveh: and the shadowy figure they're nothing but shadows like ink on a page they have nothing to say (Together) Kaveh: but maybe, just maybe they're trying to give me a sign Alhaitham: cause maybe, just maybe, they're trying to give you a sign Kaveh: that in every building made with pride the architect remains inside Alhaitham: that with every building made with pride the architect is locked inside Kaveh: peeling paint a heavy heart Alhaitham: walls press in and choke your heart Kaveh: thats what makes a work of art Alhaitham: any day, you'll fall apart Kaveh: we scream and we pray Alhaitham: i screen and i pray Kaveh: sculpting dreams out of clay Alhaitham: that I'll reach you some way Kaveh: as we try not to look at the scrawl Alhaitham: cause together we can make it though Alhaitham: i will be there soon Kaveh: so we don't have to see Alhaitham and kaveh: the writing in the wall --Instrumental-- Kaveh amd alhaitham: everyday we play this game of chace Whirling through a desperate dance Sketching vision in our heads Kaveh: just to see them ripped to shreds Alhaitham: then you rip them all to shreds Kaveh: that road that we share Alhaitham: not once did you share Kaveh: doesn't lead anywhere Alhaitham: pain you shouldered, but bared Kaveh: but there's nothing an artist can do Alhaitham: did you notice me watch over you? Kaveh: once you swing your brush you have to follow through Alhaitham: i've seen all the things your brush had made you do Kaveh: cause in every building made with Alhaitham: now that all your buildings, towering high Kaveh: the architect is trapped inside Alhaitham: crumble down, you're trapped inside Kaveh: bleeding paint a shattered heart Alhaitham: finished ending at the start Kaveh: thats what make a work of art Alhaitham: now it's time to play my part Kaveh: I'll fight for control Alhaitham: ill come save your soul Kaveh: but the right way takes a toll Alhaitham: as your "right way" takes a toll Kaveh:and still at the end of it all Alhaitham and then at the end if it all Kaveh: i cant escape my fate Alhaitham: i will rewrite your fate Kaveh: the writing's on the wall Alhaitham: as writing on the wall
2:09 This. With the way the two videos are overlapping one another, it makes it seem like Alhaitham is watching over him with SO MUCH worry in the background as Kaveh breaks himself little by little, unable to do anything about it. It breaks my soul, pulverizing it to smithereens and burning the ashes. I am not okay.
The part where Alhaitham says “I scream and I pray, that’ll reach you some day” 2:28 btw, if you listen hard enough Kaveh’s voice is but louder if you think about it, Alhaitham is still trying to reach his voice to Kaveh through the trapped walls of his crumbling palace
when you love fictional characters so much that you feel like you emotionally resonate with people that don't even exist. thank you to everyone who decided to provide this piece of art.
I’ve never cried over a fan song as much as I have this. People who don’t actually understand kaveh and alhaitham lore will say “oh the ship is toxic” like no it’s not, just because they argue doesn’t mean it’s toxic like arguments are just a human thing it doesn’t mean a relationship is toxic as long as it doesn’t get out of hand. Plus if they did actually hate each other alhaitham would’ve kicked kaveh out by now, but he hasn’t meaning he doesn’t hate kaveh, they both show they care in they’re own ways, alhaitham doesn’t say anything but he knows how hard kaveh works , kaveh doesn’t think alhaitham knows and so he constantly yells at him.
Damn, their voices blend so well and fit their characters exponentially this is incredible Lia's voices carries the care and worry Alhaitham has for Kaveh and Will voices the spiral of an artist perfectly In conclusion: All the singers and people that worked on those songs were amazing and your mixing is wonderful
I knew this would be good when I added it to my Genshin playlist yesterday, but HOLY CRAP THIS EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE! Definitely gonna listen to this on repeat for a while
While I was listening to Kaveh's version of the song, I was getting ready to go to art school, I was pushing myself, but I didn't like any of my drawings I forgot to take out one of my AirPods during the exam and I drew throughout the exam, thinking that Kaveh was hurting himself for his art. And. I came first in the exam, I feel complete thanks to the continuation of this song, this song is not just a haikaveh song for me 🙏❤️🩹
Pretty good remix, and felt like it was a good idea to have the animations overlap with each other, since it showed some symmetry/contrast illustrations the two has that was intended by the Alhaitam version. Also, you are something else making this 4 hours after the Alhaitam Version, hope you get some needed rest for making a great remix in a matter of hours
The overlapping and harmony really is the perfect way of showing how these two compliments each other! I've been looping this for nearly an hour now, this is definitely going to be my favorite remix :D Thank you for creating this composition for us to enjoy, glad I found this vid on my recommended ❤
This literally had me ACSEND. There’s just so much with their relationship that words cannot form. Alhaitham is there, being the wall for Kaveh the lean on after a days hard work of beating himself up over getting stuff to “perfection.” This is a great example of what could actually happen in game(ik not actually but who knows) and this song is lovely. TY SO MUCH!!!💙💙💙💙
