(The Amazing Digital Circus Song) SURELY YOU JEST - limtunes

(Moderate glitch warning from 1:49 onwards!)

WELCOME TO THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS FAN SONG!
(Well, amazing fan song? You can be the judge of that. It's certainly a Digital Circus song though!)

In a twist, I've written a fan song for The Amazing Digital Circus! If you're surprised, so am I. I wrote, recorded, and edited this in about three or four days, all while procrastinating an essay and revision. The brain can do wonderful things when wanting to get away from exams. :D

In all seriousness, I was really interested in the pilot episode of TADC, and can't wait to follow where it goes next - and with the second episode out today, I won't be waiting for long! This should hopefully come out pretty much as soon as it premieres, so I'll likely already be watching it lol.

The music of this song is inspired by three sources: the theme of TADC itself (the Theme Song and Your New Home), Black Gryph0n's TADC fan song JESTER, and additionally by Yoh Kamiyama's song YELLOW. I also made the decision to include a few voice lines of Pomni (Lizzie Freeman) from the pilot, as I thought they fit pretty well!

One more twist... this video features more effects and edits than in any other one I've put out on this channel before! This is because I decided to try out Davinci Resolve, and did some experimenting with its features. It's really cool so far, and I may use it in more projects going forward! All the art I drew for this I think turned out quite nicely as well, although my hand is making me regret drawing all the backgrounds. :')

As always, hope you enjoy, and subscribe if you like! I recently passed 400 subscribers and I'm really proud to have hit that milestone - if you're one of them, thank you so much!

Disclaimer: all art, instrumental, and singing by me, except for two voicelines by Lizzie Freeman clipped from the pilot!

Lyrics:

Put on a headset, now I’m here
I don’t remember this new gear
Wait, where am I and what’s my name, and who are you?
Surely this all must be a dream
I can’t swear but I’m free to scream
Just what have I gotten myself into

Stuck inside a circus game that I’m forced to play, I
Am spending day by day by day in chattering AI
You’re looking a bit stressed, my dear
So might I suggest
Living up to your new jester role and jest

Now in a world controlled by snaps
Don’t know whether to cry or laugh
Tossed like a ragdoll, beat cartoonish black and blue
And I’ve no time to play with jacks, but in this life of mix and match
It’s a never-ending checkmate full of vibrant deja vu

Stuck inside a circus game that I’m forced to play, I
Am spending day by day by day in chattering AI
I swear there’s a real exit here, not just for a ‘quest’
But I’ve now seen what happens to those who get much too depressed
Still, though, saying that we can’t leave? Surely you jest

In the void
Everything was calm
Not a soul
Or a sound
Pomni was gone
And so is this song

Stuck inside a circus game that I’m forced to play, I
Am spending day by day by day in chattering AI
And I’m a fool for trying, I should just give it a rest
So as I stare at food before me I can’t really ingest
Guess I should do what I’m supposed to best and jest
