It's rare to see creators realize just how self-destructive Kaveh is because it's easy to miss unless you read between the lines in his dialogue and/or fully immerse yourself in his bio. He's such a great character but is clearly NOT okay, haha. Everyone involved here did an excellent job translating that to lyrics and then to music, with fantastically haunting visuals to accompany it. Great job all around!

Never ask: a woman her age a man his salary a kaveh main about this song (they will break down from the feels)

For those who don't understand the allegory here, it's about how devotion to your art causes you to lose a piece of your own self for every masterpiece you create. The "Writing" is the suffering of the artist as they lose their life and sanity trying to perfect the masterpiece.

WE ARE UNFORTUNATELY NOT MAKING IT OUT OF THE BUILDING MADE WITH PRIDE WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥

As an artist, watching this is almost nauseating, the struggle of creating and living go hand in hand so often with how overwhelming the need to make anything worth the time you've got less and less of. It's so easy for others to say to be realistic but at some point it's heartbreaking to look in yourself to find nothing bc it's in everything you made for everyone else rather than where you were supposed to keep it safe for yourself. Just a constant toil for, with, and to love. Kaveh is such a relatable and silly guy but this song really captures the sadder aspects of kaveh's character

Nahida herself has said it, Kaveh is the closest to understanding the true meaning of wisdom. This is one thing, that keeps me loving this man, he's such a deeply complex character and he feels so human.

I am graduate from the Architecture major and believe me I finished this major with an ounce of passion left in me. These days I felt that my passion to draw, to design is slowly falling apart and I missed those days that I enjoyed solving design problems to be able to design for the people.Believe me those endless struggles made me questions if this is a worth a life, that I'm going to live for the rest of my life and I was ready to give it all until this happen. And then one day my brother suggested me to listen to this fan-made song in Genshin-Hoyofest . I did not know this event since I only became a fan of it this recently. I heard this song for the first time and I cried, like literally sobbing. I realized that Kaveh, who is an architect, also experience those struggles, especially overthinking things of this solution is not enough hence, we shall change these specific idea, and all those repetitive revising and changing makes me wonder if this what I want in life, wherein you need to to be diligent enough to thoroughly check and recheck everything to make a functional yet aesthetical designs that preserves human and quality of life. Yes all the lyrics of the song is so relatable to the point it tells the audience about what life of an architecture or any art-relted majors and even professionals really experience. Because of this awe-inspiring song, I then, admires Kaveh's outstanding passion and efforts to not just literally draw but also to protect the dreams of people with pride and honor. To those who are going in the same path as I am, believe me its not easy but no matter what happens, just don't give up in chasing your what your hearts desired, This song inspires a person like me who is ready to give up my dream to becoming an Architect, so thank you for being the voice of the artists in any way. Kudos to all the people behind it, and thank you for saving our lives. If you already came here and read this long message, Thank you and I hope you are in good health in mind and body. May every day of your life filled with joy and happiness. ^_^

Anyone else notice how as the song goes on, Wills voice becomes less clear and bright turns more raspy and desperate to a maddening state dragging us to be emotionally pulled along?

The “instru mental breakdown” is literal GENIUS. This entire song is genius. Will Stetson is a genius.

As an Traditional Artist, I can understand this song. Artists go through the struggle of perfecting their artwork just to impress someone. People can say, “Oh my, that looks so good,” but they’ll never know how much time you’ve spent just to make art to impress people.

3:11 IDK IF I'M JUST STRETCHING BUT I REALLY LIKE GRAPHOLOGY(analysis of handwriting) AND IF YOU PAUSE HERE AT THE SENTENCE 'So many drawings' AT THE END OF IT IT DROOPS WAY DOWN AND IN GRAPHOLOGY THAT'S CALLED A SCUICIDE TAIL OR SOMETHING IDK I CAN'T REMEMBER AND IT'S SHOWN IN HANDWRITING WHEN THE WRITER IS IN GREAT DEPRESSION AND IS MOST OFTEN SEEN IN SCUICIDAL INDIVIDUALS AHHH I'M SCREAMING AT THE DETAILS

THIS CARRIED HOYOFAIR, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S BEEN 7 MONTHS

Wow... Kaveh escalated quickly from "diagnosis" to "writhing on the wall"

I love this song so much, this song completely captures both kaveh's struggles and complexity as a character. I know genshin impact is a game about gods etc so its not suppose to be realistic however kaveh's entire story arc feels so grounded in reality as his character theme is about recovering from a death of a loved one and also being honest about oneselfs... He feels such a realistic character and this song completely captures that. Thank you so much for this song, Will Stetson.

Will, i hope you know not only you summoned genshin fans, but you summoned artists and architects from around the world, they all probably agreed this has become their anthem of sorts

Kaveh is such a complex character and this song's not only capture him flawlessly, it also depicts how artists feel when the burden of "perfection" is on their shoulders. I saw many artists (myself included) suffered from burnout because they couldn't achieve something far beyond their ability. It also adds to the burden when people understimate and don't appreciate artists enough 😢 "When you swing your brush, you have to follow through." This line in particular destroyed me on the spot because it shows how artists forced themselves to keep creating art even though they suffer greatly....

Truth is, beside the beautiful portrayal of Kaveh's character, I think this song speaks of every artist's struggle. The joy to create something beautiful and worthwhile, the harsh criticism every artist undoubtedly faces, and the bitter truth that you'll always ask the question "What is this all for?" but find no answer, yet never being able to deny the call of your soul either. Truly 'When you swing your brush you have to follow through'. You don't put the brush down until you've poured your soul in your work with blood, sweat and tears, and then you have to face the truth that even then, it's full of flaws and imperfections.

We vandalizing the wall with this one 🗣🔥‼‼
