Every time I want to reach tomb of valleities, I see this event. It seems like there's no one left in the world to watch their act and the dancers are just waiting to be forgotten, but then YOU appear and change that horrific destiny, at least for a little while. They are happy to perform once again, and they do the best they can to entertain you, but they're sad at the same time, fearing that this is gonna be the last time they will perform for someone ever again.

It's so bittersweet.

"It's the first time I have ever taken a friend here"
These words are some I will never forget

[jamesw]

There's something so desolate yet beautiful about Urotsuki traveling so far to see two isolated performers all the way out here.
She's the only one who showed up. Nobody else is here.
Do they need her? Or does she need them?

[MrKillJoy]

"Abandoned we waited, silent in the dark."
"Waiting, waiting, waiting.”

“For an audience to play for."
"Just so we could hear their remark."

"You came to us, but uttered no reply."
"No applause, for how we played our part."

"Can we not express joy to anyone, "
"When we perform our theatrical art?"

"Is it because we feel empty inside?"
"Or is it our cold, metal, mechanical heart?"

[althenea]

best 58s loop i've ever had pleasure to expereince (god i'm so glad i didn't go through with taking my life 4 years ago)

[scarletdevil]

its so beautifully somber, and faintly nostalgic in a way. just stunning. my number 1 favorite track

[innocentbystander]

It's really interesting to me that your first trip to the forgotten megalopolis (and thus the tomb) will almost certainly go through here, and that this is a mandatory event to view in order to gain access. You can't even get past the room without looking at this first. It feels like a warning of some sort, or maybe a disclaimer that what you're about to see and experience comes from the heart, and is in some way an act of it.
Or maybe I'm reading into it too much. Either way this makes me feel deeply.

[Sugarpxel]

They were wired without love.



Made with a mechanical heart

[ugethacked]

this reminds me of this one steampunk ya novel i read when i was little, and i remember a scene where the main character found her brother, but his heart had been replaced with clockwork and he was stuck performing for the mayor of the town or something. i don't remember the title but hopefully someone out there remembers

[外人バカ]

Currently in a dark and maddening period of my life. This song brings me bittersweet memories, it helps me get thru days like these. I really relate to Yume Nikki since I suffer night terrors since I was a kid. The "dreamscapes" convey pretty much the abstract nature of my nightmares.

[stressrepellentmachine]

my favorite song from the soundtrack currently. it's just so beautiful...

[lordhershel]

I am at my lowest, and this song is my soundtrack.

[stonedhamster]

i could genuinely listen to this all day and not get tired, it evokes one of these feelings you just can't describe with words

[melonpie]

this song makes me feel like this is my last day alive. i'm remembering everything i've done in the past. i feel this nostalgic feeling. but at the same time i feel this dreadful feeling, like i'm about to die.
i wanna say goodbye to my family, just in case this gut feeling is right, but if it's not, i don't want to scare my family.

[aoyagi_touya]

I'm coming back to this soundtrack every day
it's been a year now
and i still love it with all my heart

[scum]

The living, beating heart can never be outdone, you think. In an attempt to immitate love, the mechanical heart becomes stuck in impossibility. A moment forever stuck in time is what it is, two robots dancing around each other for no reason. Only coldness. Sorrowful coldness; soulless. A display, nothing more. Forever unable appreciate the irony of their existence. But finding them out here, in the middle of nowhere, your engine heart warms up at their sight. You're not one of them. But you empathise. You too once loved someone like they seem to, and your heart is cold now. And you wish someone would dance with you, like they are. But you remember someone once did, and they're long gone. And as you stare at the maulding theatre, the cracked dolls, floor barely holding up under their performance, you notice the reflectors, burned by time, still shine for them; you wonder instead if your hearts also were like theirs, dancing to each other's beat in perfect tandem.

[Milkza]

Every now and again when my college classes get too much, I end up coming here and using the song as background music. It's somber, but in an odd way it helps me finish my stuff. I'm thankful for this existing.

[roze_masker]

This music its incredibly well made
I can feel alot of emotions on this one...

[TrulyBS-QJ]

people paint lacking feeling love for others being tragic, when love hurts others for the desires of the one loving them more than helps others and the one loving. Some people love themselves more than anything else, and this makes them capable of terrible and short sighted things. If a disobedient child annoys you, you can love them, but deliberately trotur them because you love yourself more. There is evil in truth and love, and their is beauty in lies and hatred.

[Pandemonic-Planet]

This song gives me such a melancholic feeling. It's sad yet peaceful at the same time? Props to the composer, it's beautiful!
