And on this casket's back sits a little lonely ghost. He misses his old bones and wishes he had his throat. Those good old days are daylight.
We'll watch it, wait, it's gonna fade, yeah. It will fade in the darkness.
We'll take it.
It's gonna come in. It will come in.
Yeah. So I am grateful for this, this consciousness oasis that paints the darkest carpet with a sudden streak of white. We burn so bright.
I will swallow it whole. I'm gonna run out. I will run Till my body breaks down. Fill it up and fill me up and I'll hold you.
Don't look back, you turn too soon. So just march I'll let moments melt.
I'm awake.
Wake up, wake up.
I'm awake. We can never miss out our way. Let's be loud, let's go, let's make some sound.
Yay!
Hello!
I have really exciting news, but I'm not gonna say it quite yet. First thing, thank you guys so much. There were over 600 responses now to the how-to videos, which songs I should make how-to videos for. I'm gonna announce the 5 winners in a second. Before I do that, I want to say that Marvin in the Dark was not one of the winners, but there were a lot of people talking about making a piano score for that, so I made a piano score for that. And, um, you can download it. It's in the sidebar over there. It's beta version 1.0, so it's not finished. If there's any things that I missed, let me know and I'll make corrections. Everybody, thank you for the artwork submissions too! I got your artwork submissions. I'm gonna go over all of them and choose one for the next MP3 release. But thank you, everybody who submitted artwork. Um, that's awesome! The songs that got the most votes for the how-to thing are: Coming in fifth place, fourth place, yay! Third place, fifth place. No wait, did I just say fifth place? Fourth place, third place. I don't freaking know. The next place, and in first place with 274 votes was.
Okay.
And now for the super exciting news! Okay, long story short, I'm gonna be playing a show at YouTube headquarters! At the actual company, YouTube. Not like on the web, but like at the building place. With Ryan on guitar and bass and mandolin and all that kind of stuff, and Lewis Cole on drums. And that's it! And thank you! And you're the best! And thanks for watching always! And I always end vlogs this way with my arms, and I'm gonna not do that for the next time I do a vlog. Okay, goodbye!
Daylight will wash away, it's gonna fade, yeah, it will fade in the darkness. Darkness will take its place, it's gonna come, yeah, it will come, yeah.
