[Dreamtale Original] SharaX - Benevolence

Hullo! I wasn't really sure what to do for Dream initially, but I guess that's how this original series has been going so far with each of these characters (｢･ω･)｢ I knew I wanted to do something with bells, a harpsichord, & piano somewhere etc, but I didn't want to write a track that was too mellow, at least not for these first attempts. An uplifting progression was a natural choice, but I didn't want something that was too "happy go lucky" cheery as this track included part of Malevolence's melody (and could be a bit out of context if I were to style this track to be rainbows and unicorns, per say). I styled the drop at 1:00 to have more "2010 pop-sounding" lead with a lighter bassline, as I wanted the focus to be on the instruments rather than the bass in my other stuff. Overall took about 15 hours & am very happy with the result!◝(⁰▿⁰)◜

I love how this song portrays Dream's positivity at the same time it gives the listener a feel of the weight and despair that Dreamtale's story has. It really fits Dream's character in the responsibility he carries on his shoulders as a protector of hopes and dreams to the entire multiverse, and the despair that must come with the fact that he's fighting his own brother.

THANK YOU FOR NOT GIVING HIM AN OVERLY CUTESY THEME. I love his character and this is perfect for him, great job! It’s a great contrast with malevolence, too!

[iwonderhowgrasstastelike]

You can hear Dream’s character literally flowing through the song

[alphebettispaghetti]

I read the title as Beanviolence. I need to put my glasses back on.

Ya know when I first heard Malevolence the two distinct melodies in the song just made me think of both sides of Nightmare. The rougher one at the beginning reminded me of his corruption but the smoother one in the middle made me think of who he use to be. The abused guardian who loved his brother and just wanted to enjoy his books in peace. This song with the light and slightly peppy melody for dream along with the smoother part of the other just made me think of the brothers when they were younger and happy together, and I absolutely love it!!

[willowdrakon]

The melody you said you "accidentally stumbled on" allowed us to have a bit of a taste in the last song. The benevolent breadstick queen has allowed us all a full bite of that breadstick. And it is fucking awesome.

[Krizzyboi]

I love how you made Dreams theme sound like an epic hero theme and even incorporated the melody of Malevolence in it too. Keep up the good work SharaX!!!! ❤

[sim]

I personally like this one more than malevolence, it has some hype energy in it and the melody really reminds me of something...
Anyway, good job!

[shroomy]

I cant believe the ut fandom still exists and is thriving.
I miss dreamtale.

This song means more to me than people can probably understand. I've been using Dream as a vessel for myself for years and years, completely rewriting them and putting every ounce of my own person into a character I can write for. I've never liked themes for them, sense the character became so personal to me that I couldn't relate any of the songs to the person in my mind.

Despite having been a fan of Shara sense 2015, when this song released, I was uninterested. I usually listened to Shara's songs, but I skipped out on this one sense I thought that I wouldn't care much for it. Several months later, I was incredibly sad. I wasn't able to figure out what to do, and I wanted to listen to some music, hesitantly, I clicked, and the song brought me to tears.

This is what hope sounds like to me. The light instruments but used in such an intense way make the song sound like it's screaming that it will go on. It's not cheerful, it's a battle. It's hopeful, but not in a light way. Hope doesn't mean pretending nothing's wrong. It's about keeping on going because no matter how horrible things can get, your only savior can be your own hope that things will get better one day. This is the only way to hang onto that.

I listen to this song only at my darkest of times to help me remember what hope feels like. I've never been able to describe the experience I have listening to this song to other people, but I can understand it myself. Thank you SharaX.

[madshiper]

This song is so beautiful. I kind of want to play both this one and Malevolence at the same time to see how they fit together. I'm also happy that you didnt make Dream's theme overly childish or sweet, that character doesnt deserve to be treated as a naive child.
If you want suggestions for a next theme, maybe Ink sans ? I mean, although I love Tokiovania, you never said it was INK'S theme, so maybe another music with a bit of Tokio in it ? Otherwise, maybe you could do Reaper Sans or Geno sans ?

[thesmashdancers]

I absolutely love it. Though I've been thinking, Ink never really got his own song. I mean, everybody keeps thinking Tokyovania is his song, but it really isn't, it was for Sans and Papyrus. And then "An Inking Mistake" yeah that's partially his song, but it's more of an Ink VS Error song. I think Ink deserves his own TRUE song by now to be honest, don't you think?




Edit: Oh, Nyx came out with Brushwork huh? Sounds great! Though, I still want to see what Sharax could come up with. Nyx is pretty great too, but I would love to see an original song by Sharax for Ink, just like Sharax did for Error, Dream, Nightmare, Fresh, ect. I think it'd be pretty fair if Ink got one too! That good ol' inky boi deserves one! ^^
Plus, I feel like Brushwork gives me a vibe more of the whole "kanji" type of thing. It feels more focused on the brush, and less on Ink himself.

[shatterIguess]

Dream is not just about good vibes and radiant positivity, beneath that shimmering smile is a warrior looking to try and make things right with his emotionally scorned brother. This song highlights the almost childish positivity, while still paying respects to the warrior of which it serenades.

Masterful Work as expected, Breadstick Queen

[sorahotaru]

This Piece seriously got "hope" written over it. Especially in the like "intro"-parts.
I´m always so happy when a new piece comes out <3

[monsoonxskies]

i’m early for once!

and this... this is a big Y E S .

i literally screeched when i got the notification.

guess you could say this is a DREAM COME TRUE! :D

[Noxdraws]

I love that fact that Malevolence is in here too because they're brothers (even if they are like the opposite buuut i still love that AU and this song of course ^•^)

[petroleum]

I want to hear Ink’s theme, since it would be interesting to hear a song on a character that’s soulless yet “feels” artificial emotions

[gasterblasterinksans]

It's my birthday today and not gonna lie, I've been in a pretty melancholy state all day but seeing the notification pop up that SharaX uploaded and posted an amazing new song really helped cheer me up a bunch. Been around listening for around 5 years now and SharaX's music and art has the power to put a smile on my face every time I hear or see it. Thanks for existing, SharaX.

[lelieakiha]

It was at the beginning, i knew

This was amazing
I screamed when the notif popped up
I also really love love love Malevolence!!
