Duvet (cyberpunk/synthwave 80s remix)

This is a re-upload, but a special one. People were asking for the complete version and also with vocals, so here it is! I'm very fond of this song and it was the first song to explode on my late channel. Enjoy!

I knew the guy that wrote the music for Duvet, the lyrics were written by the singer. A lot of people think it was by a Kpop artist called Boa, but it was actually a small band from London by the same name - if you search youtube you can find the original music video. Paul sadly passed a couple of years ago, but I know he'd have loved this - he was always very proud of this song and the knowledge that people still liked it enough to keep reworking it would have really made him happy.

It was the early 2000's when I first discovered Lain.

Though I didn't get Techtv, through cable, with a booster I was able to pick it up through the old antenna on the roof as it broadcasted out of Albany.

Though it was staticky, I was able to watch it, Boogiepop Phantom, Silent Mobius, Call for Help, Cinematech, and X-Play. Along with other channels.

Lain though, sat with me the most. There was just something about it that resonated with my young mind, and I fondly remembered sitting late nights in my basement watching this in the warm glow of my CRT.

Years later, I told this to an anime fan much younger then me, and he responded "you're so lucky, you got to live the aesthetic". I guess in some way I did, but before that, I never thought of that.

Sorry for the wall of text, great work Astrophysics.

I'm here 'cause Boa shared this version on their facebook page. Sounds fucking amazing.

I don't think there's a better expression of one of the themes of Lain, that we're all connected, than a remix by someone in Brazil of a song from a band in London in the 90s that most of us know from a Japanese show and having 480 thousand people from around the world show up to listen

Edit: As of present day, present time it is over 1.5 million people.

Remember skipping Serial Experiments Lain's opening? Me neither.

This remix is what spurred me to finally sit down and watch Lain. It was just as incredible as everyone here said it was. Just wanted to say thanks.

[ToxiKrisis]

everything about Serial Experiments: Lain felt familiar, despite never having seen it. I remember seeing art around the internet when I was was a teenager and I remember hearing this song when I hung out with my uncle as a kid, but I could never put any of this together. now that I've sat through the series here on YT, it still feels vaguely familiar, yet it's so new to me and it feels really special to me now. and especially with how we all are now, constantly within arm's reach of any technology that could distance us or bring us closer together; and with the pandemic going on, I still feel disconnected from reality whenever I go out for groceries, but I guess there's solace knowing we're all experiencing technology together, whether we want to or not.

Lain is a concept ahead of its time. Valid from now on and to who knows when. Thats why this mix is just beatiful. Thanks a lot

Watching Serial Project: Lain is like voluntarily putting myself through a dissociative episode.

People only have substance within the memories of others.

[UnwantedFeather]

Ow my god I am becoming internet, help.

[Dat_Jonx]

It's sound so retro...



...but it's PRESENT DAY, PRESENT TIME, HAHAHAHAHA

[laninfapimentel]

This version of the song sounds GOOD! It's like a brain massage, thank you.

[endersteph]

*On todays news* : Local girl becomes internet or maybe was from the beginning idk i didn't understand the plot- ALSO *_LETS ALL LOVE LAIN_*

[NonCanonGanon]

Ikuwara Lain and Kaname Madoka are the anime champions of selflessness.
They sacrificed themselves and created thought-provoking ripples within the community that can easily still be felt to this day.

[KrebsTLegendvods]

The more I listen to this, the more I'm convinced its a masterpiece

[dntwannade]

Lyrics
And you don't seem to understand
A shame you seemed an honest man
And all the fears you hold so dear
Will turn to whisper in your ear
And you know what they say might hurt you
And you know that it means so much
And you don't even feel a thing

I am falling
I am fading
I have lost it all

And you don't seem the lying kind
A shame that I can read your mind
And all the things that I read there
Candle lit smile that we both share
And you know I don't mean to hurt you
But you know that it means so much
And you don't even feel a thing

I am falling
I am fading
I am drowning
Help me to breathe
I am hurting
I have lost it all
I am losing
Help me to breathe

I am falling
I am fading
I am drowning
Help me to breathe
I am hurting
I have lost it all
I am losing
Help me to breathe

I am falling
I am fading
I am drowning
Help me to breathe
I am hurting
I have lost it all
I am losing
Help me to breathe

I feel like I'm in Cyberia right now...

[namelesscompadre]

I'm a very simple person, I see Lain in the thumbnail, I click. This truly is some Wired Sound for Wired People.

This makes me want to suggest to astro that he needs to make some darksynth
