would ya look at that! i made another song! huge thanks to wayne for asking me to work on this; it was a super cool experience all around and i feel in the time since passport guardian i've learned at least a bit and blah blah bunch of thought bullshit that boils down to i'm happy to have had the opportunity to do this for a lot of reasons!

my file got completely fucked over so the mixing in this isn't something I'm the most proud of but i tried my best to fix it after the fact and y'know, i'm ok with doing what i could!

    The fact you can hear the passport guardian leitmotif underneath the main melody is genius. Elevated the finale cut even higher above, impeccable work.

    The rage this music exudes is incredibly potent. It perfectly captures the story of a man who was beaten down by a simple challenge, made into a clown, called “crazy” by his peers. And when he completes his original goal, he is left empty. Because in the end, it doesn’t matter anymore… What mattered was the friend he made along the way. And now, his friend is in trouble and he’s going to do what he’s believes is right. NO MATTER THE COST.

    WE COMPLETING THE CHALLENGE WITH THIS ONE!!!!!
  • @user-xj5gs3zt6s
    It went from 'quite a bop' for Passport Guardian to 'absolute fucking banger' for Gnome Regrets.

    I watched HLVRAI, but never got into the gnome series. This makes me want to finish it lol. Edit: currently on the final act, I was missing out lmao Edit: finished it... What the hell.

    This song is genuinely beautiful, all for a garden gnome with prerecorded voicelines
  • @heyitsmiiips
    I hear that piano in the background at 1:08 ;o) Nice callback to Passport Guardian, and bloody nice track overall!
  • @PARKlNG
    hearing your work in yet another rtvs piece after all this time made me straight up almost launch out of my chair in excitement. your improvement in just the past few years is INSANE

    "They're using Heat Haze Shadow way earlier than in the stream. I wonder why?" I probably should have known it was because you'd written something even more perfect for that scene.
  • @theonlyosh4088
    I recognized the style immediately when watching the gnome video, amazing job!
  • Hearing this song in the video made the experience so much more intense. Like genuinely made watching the end sequence feel so new. I was there when the finale was streamed and watched it multiple times since, but this made me feel like I was experiencing the adrenaline of the situation for the first time.
  • @mcdardnalds
    people have already pointed out the passport guardian motif, but i feel like no one is talking about how the instrumentation in the beginning sounds like something out of the boneworks ost, which is very fitting considering "opera de ossium" was the track that played during benrey's monologue in hlvrai act 4. was that intentional, its3oe?
  • @Mothpile
    The second the song started playing in the gnome finale I immediately went "wait, is this the its3oe song ! it must be..!" And now that I'm here I see i was right yay! It sounds so good and fit so damn well with the video !!! Incredible !!!!!!
  • @wtscallop
    i wish i could convey in the proper words how fucking hyped this song and this sequence made me. like i literally had to get up and do a little walk while watching. amazing.
  • Congrats on getting featured in another video man, as soon as I heard the first few seconds of the song I recognized it as one of yours instantly. It's cool to see how much you have improved in 3 years, and as weird as this may or may not sound it inspires me to make my own stuff. So kudos to you and I hope you continue doing music in the future! :)
  • @Dimonds456
    Your work for these guys in absolutely insane. Awesome job! Hoping to see more in the future! /pos Would it be alright if people did covers of the song at all? It's okay if not, I'm just curious.
