What a beautiful song. Ellie never stops surprising me 🥲

[YourAverageBo]

ANOTHER ABSOLUTE BANGER OF A SONG FROM THE ONE AND ONLY ELLIE MINIBOT!!! Ellie I'm so proud of you!! This song is gorgeous! I told you people would adore it!!

[magebear]

ellie has the most brilliant music marketing scheme i've ever seen:

step 1: learn robotics and programming
step 2: become an indie vtuber
step 3: get noticed by a bigger vtuber for embarrassing content
step 4: grow an audience until being noticed by another tech vtuber
step 5: work with other tech vtuber on one of the most interesting robotics projects ever
step 6: regularly expose the ever-expanding audience to self-written, composed, and performed hauntingly beautiful and resonating music
step 7: top the billboard charts
side effect: also get some kind of job for some random start-up robotics company or something by not leveraging the online popularity at all, idk not a huge deal.

ELLIE!!! THIS IS All your songs are so SO good, how do you keep dropping bangers?!?! PLEASE SHARE SOME OF YOUR TALENT!!! 😭😭

[FRK_]

If Ellie learns to scream she'll be unstoppable, maybe obkatiekat could teach her!

[ShinstaStudio]

From the moment I heard the instrumental a few months back and the snippets that came afterwards, there's no doubt that you would crush it.
And you absolutely did. Amazing job, Ellie. 😁

Lyrics:
You were still a kid when the hurricane came,
the crumpled up sky and the hollering rain.
The brook turned black in the screeching wind,
swelled like she'd pulled the whole world in.

You'd seen the creek before,
shining pretty in the summer,
now she boils and crashes,
full of dark poison water
and like a taunt she dares you
to reach inside yourself for the hungry thing that scares you.

Oh god, get back and don't look down,
in the river there's a hunger that's devouring the town,
dragging everything she treasures deep inside of herself 'til it drowns.
Oh god, get back and don't look down.

Ten years along, you've been gracious, you've been driven.
You've been whittling away at the body you were given,
staying quieter than silence and hungrier than sin,
chewing up your lips to keep all your poison in,
and you're sick to death fighting with the thing you saw
the day the creek rose up and you watched the sky fall.
You've been smiling like the sunshine just as long as you remember,
but there are clouds on the horizon and they're rising with your temper.

Oh god, get back and don't look down,
do you root for the river instead of the town?
Your ties are coming undone, your heart unbound.
Oh god, get back and don't look down.

One of these days, you're going to rise up like the river,
over everything you treasure and everything you ever did.
Lay your claim, make the streets your own,
fold it all into you until you're heaving and alone.

Oh god, get back and don't look down,
You're the river, you're the storm, and it's too late to stop now.
The seas will swallow the sun, the world will bow.
Oh god, get back or you will drown.

Oh god, get back and don't look down.

Oh god, get back.

vocals are so BEAUTIFULL AHH HOW Do you sound so professional!!!! the song is so cinematic- sound & lyrically. amazing work as always ellie 💖💖💖

[SandClipper]

This made me realize that ellie would do really well in a musical. Like, her vocals here are amazing

[ControlUltDefeat]

1:08 "Staying quieter than silence and hungrier than sin, chewing up your lips to keep all your poison in." Man, a lot of these lyrics are genius, but these hit me hard. It's safe to say the song you wrote does mean something to me. Would have related to it so hard as a kid. It was performed so well, too. GJ Ellie.
I look forward to your next debut soon!

[Okestune]

It came out so good! I love that you pushed outside your comfort zone, ran into challenges, but then absolutely bulldozed through them!

[JLM-yg]

This song strikes me: For years, I refused to get angry, then it all just exploded one day and I'm still recovering from it. The day I chose to "root for the river" just happened to be the day it overflowed.

[waterjem]

Yay glad I catch your song within a few mins of release. Can't wait to be at your debut later today!

[Nuparus-]

Relistening to all the other originals and then getting to this does definitely feel like being swept up by a flash flood. Very evocative. This is good.

[snow]

definitely haven't had this on repeat for like 4 hours now

[EragoEntertainment]

Ellie got anxiety as a debuff to balance out her having so many talents.

[RapFab]

I only realized this was an original after about 20 listens. Holy, I LOVE IT. You rock Ellie!

[jasonbalius]

Ellie is on the path to becoming one of the most popular creators in this space. I can't wait to see what the future holds.

[lmaolop]

This is so underrated i love it puttin on loop forever
