hello to the Tubed You it's 1am on a saturday morning and i'm gonna talk about communications hopefully for the last time because in the past i didn't do a very good job of keeping my previous talks about it in a Conveniently Accessible All Compiled In One Place, and because of that some people heard what i had to say and some missed :( i don't want people to miss out so i hope this is a good place to put this! if you don't know what communications was, i'll try to nutshell explain it real quick: it was a song series i started back in early 2016 and cancelled in mid-2017. it's comprised of rotary dial, black&white, housewife radio and broadcast illusion (in that order), and while colorbars is *technically* related, it wasn't an official part of the series (tl;dr i was gonna use colorbars, didn't like the song though, so i made a new song that basically tells the same story). while small summaries of what each song specifically covered were in the original descriptions, a majority of the story was kept pretty much contained to my now-deleted tumblr account and pretty much only the people who paid attention to that blog knew the most about the story. i talked a lot about what i planned on doing, a majority of which didn't get put into a song before i cancelled the project. personally, i don't want to re-tell the story (both the stuff that was in video descriptions, stuff that was only on tumblr, and stuff i never talked about publicly). i know doing so would clear up any misunderstandings/contradicting info and give context to what i'm talking about, but i'd still rather not. a LOT of other people and i have had a lot of valid criticisms against communications, and while i know there's some nuance concerning liking something you acknowledge objectively bad/problematic, i personally don't wanna be the one to introduce more people to the series since i currently have....... over twice as many subscribers as i had when i cancelled it, i think? i can't remember how many i had back then but it was definitely under 100k. that's just my personal preference and i hope you can understand! so here's where i fucked up: my plans for communications started out as a three-song, really shallow story. i didn't have much of anything in mind for it other than a "this happens and then this happens" sorta story, but as more people showed deeper interest in the story and asked questions about it, i started fleshing things out more. it quickly turned into what i planned to be a 12-song series, broken into four separate stories called cases. now, what i did was make the mistake of not thinking at all before i did any of this. i improvised answers to questions without really thinking about how it connected to the story, i didn't give an ounce of thought into how each aspect of the story would reflect on each other, i didn't try to predict what sorts of meanings people could draw from the series (i know that anyone can come up with any interpretation of my stories they want and that's kinda out of my control, but to an extent i do want to make sure my stories couldn't *easily* be interpreted as something harmful or offensive), just like....... i mean it literally when i say communications was entirely improvised. and improvisation isn't inherently bad, don't get me wrong! but you really need to know what you're doing when you improvise, and unfortunately "knowing what i was doing" and "18 year-old me" were on COMPLETELY opposite ends of the globe we ended up with a story and characters that hardly made any sense, some characters' developments were flatter than some people think the earth is, and in more aspects than one were insensitive as hell towards even my own experiences. for context, i base a majority of my songs/stories/characters off my own personal experiences. they're not all self-insert levels of similarities, but if you really think about it you'll notice like 80% of my ocs have abandonment issues and are too emotional for their own good. for just one example out of many others. nancy was a character with abandonment issues, henry was a character who had been abused by his mother frances since childhood, and kennith was a character who faced abuse from his peers and emotional neglect from his parents. except 18 y/o me thought there wasn't gonna be any issues with having nancy kill someone because of her issues, having henry come out relatively un-traumatized, and not talk publicly nearly enough about how kennith's experiences impacted him in adulthood. while it's true that mentally ill people and abuse survivors can do bad things or be bad people, there's a difference between realistic portrayals and over-represented stigmas. mentally ill people aren't violent, and in reality are much more likely to face violence than commit it themselves, yet the "scary, dangerous mentally ill person" seems to be the majority of the representation we get. emotional abuse is often taken way less seriously than it should be due to there not being any physically visible scars. and lastly, if i say a character is something (especially something under-represented), i should actually show it! i've heard the argument "but fiction doesn't affect reality that much" over and over again, and i personally disagree? there's plenty of examples of fiction affecting reality - take for example what jaws did to sharks, or a bit closer to this topic, how movies like "psycho" and "split" affected the public's perception of people with dissociative identity disorder. even outside of fiction impacting society, it's just my own personal preference to avoid stigmatic portrayals of mental illness in my songs and stories and i hope that can be respected regardless of your opinion on this particular criticism. even though the characters in communications stemmed from my own experiences with mental illness, abuse, and neglect, that doesn't mean i could just do whatever the hell i wanted without giving it much thought. i'm still responsible for how i portray my experiences! i genuinely am sorry to anyone who was hurt by how these characters were handled, you guys deserved a lot better. since working on communications i've learned a lot about myself that's changed the way i view my experiences, and for the past couple years i've been heavily focusing on doing everything i can think of to avoid repeating communications. i had planned a remake of communications to improve all its flaws, but in the end i felt a total loss of enjoyment towards the series because i just wanna move on and do better (which is why i finally cancelled the series). as much as i wish i could turn communications into something that isn't so.......... Yikes, i don't see myself working on the story again and actually being happy while doing so. that's really the best way i can explain why i won't be revisiting the story. i hope i can show i've learned from the whole experience through my future story projects. this also brings up a side-topic specifically regarding communications' cancellation - i want to say that that decision was in no way anyone's fault but my own. at the time i had expressed feeling pressured when fans would ask "when is the next part coming out?" and "why haven't you uploaded a new part yet?". i can't remember exactly what i said, but i said something along the lines of implying that i might cancel the series if people continued pressuring me to finish it faster. though this wasn't meant as a threat and more of a "i don't perform well under pressure" statement, i totally understand why people would assume it was meant as a threat and why that would be really hurtful (especially considering people were asking those questions out of curiosity, not with the intent to pressure me to work faster). i'm really sorry for having said that, that wasn't ok and i should've handled expressing my concerns with more empathy. i wanna make sure it's clear that the final decision to cancel communications wasn't the public's fault at all - just my own loss of interest in the project. i think.............. that's about it. i'll come back and edit this post if i think of anything else to add. thank you for reading!! obligatory reminder to drink water and take ur meds if u have meds u need to take

two guys walk into a-

Everyone's talking about how the title's now just "bar" like you forgot about the best ones "Megalovania" and "Original Penis Music", kek

I love how first he politely asked "And now, will you please applaud?" Then at the end he demanded "And now you will applaude"

When you wanted to make special, deep song theories But Ghost said: *B A R*

kennith is my favorite character from undertale

Today is November 26, 2018. And currently, this video is called Megalovania.

99% of the comments: b a r 1% of the comments: ebic song

Y'know, everyone's freaking out about how the title is 'bar', but we mustn't forget when it was 'I'm sorry Fukase you deserved better'

A reminder that the title was changed to "megalovania" for a day or two

“【Fukase English】 megalovania 【Original Song】” Kennith, dear, did you hijack GHOST’s song?

Kennith: AUGH AUGH AUGH AUGH AUGH AUGH Everyone watching the broadcast: 💃🕺🎶

Everybody's gangsta until Fukase's colorbars start mixing frequencies

broke: megalovania woke: bar

Where's the damn drinks the title said this was a bar

Ghost was ahead of every wierdcore aesthetic person from nowdays.

can I please stop applauding, my hands hurt. edit: y’all this comment is blowing up faster than 5 billionaires in a submarine chillllll💀

Dear everyone who ever thought it was supposed to be colour, c-o-l-o-r is the American spelling, and let's just admit it, you know it's America when a teenager nearly causes "the death of a nation" with tv.

I remember looking down here on the old video and seeing “Soon we’ll televise our C-O-L-O-R-B-R-A-S” and I really miss that comment

i adore this song but i think every day about how it used to be titled “original penis music” and “megalovania”

I remember the first time I listened to this hearing Fukase say "You're a fucking idiot and statics pouring out of your mouth. " the chills were everywhere.

i cant believe kennith was in the incredibles 2

*reading smudged title* Man I love M e g a l o v a n i a By Yhostie-B

Hey does anyone else feel that each of GHOST's songs has a particular feeling that only GHOST songs can give? Like.... I dunno it's hard to explain... but some of GHOST's song give it off more strongly than others and this one is just full of it... please tell me I'm not alone in feeling this

i cant believe i played this in the morning when it was still "bar" now it's changed back to colorbars moment of silence

remarking on the "i'm so sorry fukase u deserved better" and "ugly" in the title before they vanish lol day 2: remarking on the "bar" being the entire title

I’M SO MAD I MISSED WHEN IT WAS CALLED MEGALOVANIA

So basically what happen: Kennith: *In America. You watch TV. BUT in Russia. TV WATCHES YOU.*

Fukase: I see you. Me listening in the shower: *chuckles* I’m in danger

ghost keeps changing the title of colorbars: a documentary next time just call it “the tv song”

I hope this doesn't offend anyone but bar

I wanna see a TV show made based off of every single GHOST song. Maybe all the characters' lives intermingled, and you get to see exactly how their lives get fucked up. Maybe have a small instrumental of their songs in certain scenes like their introduction/ first appearance or any dramatic scene

The title has been bar for 3 months and I’m getting worried we’ll never see colorbars ever again. Edit: it’s currently 2022 and it’s still bar

bar 1 star. Don't recommend coming here. Expected to be able to crack open a cold drink with the boys, but there wasn't even any drinks. We also wanted to be able to watch the C vs GS basketball game, but the TVs didnt even work, they only showed static and colorbars. Oh, and also they sometimes showed eyes, very creepy. Also, very bad customer service. Instead of taking our orders, some kid ended the entire world right before our eyes with just a single song.

How to use this song. Wait until you are stuck in traffic with family/friends. Wait until there is an awkward silence, then... *"O H THE WORLD'S SIGNING OFF THE SECOND HOUR TELLS YOUR AUDIENCE-"* Gets perfect results.

An ad came up about a school before this but I listened to the end because it was unskipable, and it said "Kennith has been a different kid after he went to this school." *PROBABLY.*

After all this time,.,.,.bar is gone. By gods.

*A c t u a l l y . . .* *I t C a n B e S p e l l e d B o t h W a y s.*

theres so many comments abt "bar" but im here like. can we take a sec to look at this then at ghosts newer work??? like HECK thats some great improvement!!!!!! when u look at this, or ghosts even older work, its rlly cool to look at how much theyve improved since then, illustration-wise AND music production-wise(???????? u get what i mean). idk why im rambling but like?????????? i just like talking abt how cool it is to see how much amazing artists have grown over the years..........that is all

i guess you could say he's spitting bars

Ghost creating Kennith in *Bjår:* Gay Ghost creating Kennith in the new one: Gay, but *L O N G*

Today colorbars is megalovania mark this in the history books

The song is currently titled “bar” on February 26th, 2020. This is history. Edit: You madlads in the comments. It’s still bar. It switched to “bar” right around February 26th; I believe before that (Feb 25th) it was still “Colorbars”. And wasn’t this song Megalovannia at one point? Edit 2: I’m proud that of all the comments I’ve made on YT, this is hands down my most liked.

woah it’s changed back to colorbars

Fun fact: Kennith is canonically genderfluid Let me hug this gay cactus please just please

Soon we'll televise our M-E-M-E-S

A reminder to the future that this is now named 'bar' GHOST's creative genius is overflowing.

So I’m linking this in a reference playlist for my public speaking class and my poor teacher is going to be so confused as to why this is just called “bar”

I'm glad to be a part of the legendary time where this song was referred to as a station for alcoholic drinks :>

Wait, imagine if Kennith dropped the mic on accident. Would it go like: "Soon we'll televise our C-O-L-O-R now leave me- THUD" "Fuuuu-" WE'RE SORRY, WE ARE HAVING TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES Huh? That'd be odd...

Honey, the tv’s winking at me

can we just appreciate the hair for a second

I was literally listening to this and my laptop started freaking shaking and glitching, never been more scared in my life. It was just dust buildup in the fans but un-logic compels me to say that it was kennith

I missed it being called Megalovania, so I’m glad I can be here for Bar

Soon, we'll televise our S-A-N-S

I believe the canon explaination why kennith does that lil weird "Ah-" at 3:01 is because Arc is bashing the tv to get it to work again edit: I cant believe I spelt explaination that badly. what even in the hells heaven is an "explainion"???

Funfact: I totally forgot about this song but my cousin breaking my aunts tv made me remember it and now I can't stop listening to it, just like I did when I first found it

*THIS GAY CACTUS*

2:03 When you get home from school and look in the fridge for food.

One thing I’ve noticed in every ghost song is *they are all good*

1:50 Thats called *Rabies*

everyone is sad for it being changed from megalovania while i’m sad for it being changed from original penis music song

I’d let him hijack my tv at anytime

I started playing this and right at that moment my mom texted me “I see you”

Title update- It's now back to colorbars.

ghost are we seriously doing this again, first Megalovania and NOW “BAR” OM cRYIJG ABAHAHEGDSHAHA

Ghost im so happy you re-enabled comments!!!!! it sounds like youre in a much better place in your life and i'm so glad to see youre okay!!!

I feel holy when Fukase sings the word "frequencies" and spell C-O-L-O-R

"Hey Kennith, remember that time when you brainwashed the nation with a TV!" "Remember that time when your parents disowned you"

Idk what yall are talking about, "bar" is the best name anyone could think of.

Remember kids: Kennith is *A L W A Y S* here and he's *A L W A Y S* watching

2:48 me at 3:00 am doing a craft project

Soon you'll be a part of B-A-R-BAR it leaves me barded and erase my BARmories

Warning: do not lip sync this in front of a mirror while copying Kennith's pose for the entirety of the song My arm hurts

ah yes, my favorite song. “bar” It’s so eloquent and deep, I really appreciate GHOST’s intelligent nature in naming this song in such a magnificent and beautiful way.

several years later, I find myself returning to bar I am an alcoholic Help

1:17 **pissed off brit noises**

EVERYONE SHUT UP ABOUT THE SPELLING. IT CAN BE SPELT BOTH WAYS.

Pls tell me ppl are not gonna start another "colour, color" nonsense

Am I the only one that's thinking "damn that eyeliner on fleek" 😂😂😂

Lovely art style I really can't get over how soft and smooth the color shades are while also keeping cute and attractive anatomically correct humanoids

I can now start my worshipping Jelf the El-I mean Kennith Simmons cult in the comments now

Colorbars, Broadcast Illusion, Amygdala's Ragdoll are my absolute favorites :D Ghost you make the best vocaloid songs!

i was here when the title was b a r i hope the next title is 'it's real brainwashing hours' edit: wow forgot this post existed until i randomly came back to this song...thanks for the likes frens, make sure to stay safe in quarantine and take care of yourselves~

You guys better not start the entire color vs colour fiasco again.

I missed megalovania, but at least I'm here for "I'm sorry fukase you deserved better" and "bar"

this song is so criminally underrated

What if you wanted to go to heaven, but god said "ßår"? Sorry about ß symbol, I used font generator.

WAAAH . I KNOW GHOST HATES THIS SONG BUT ITS LIKE ONE OF MY FAVORITES I LITERALLY GOT INSPIRED AND MADE A WHOLE OC BECAUSE OF IT KLAKSAJKJSKL

Every once in a while I return to this video to view the comment section because it’s a lawless wasteland

This lyric is from a song, it appears to be expressing feelings of frustration and disconnection with the world and media. The lyrics suggest that the speaker is tired of the world "signing off" and is tired of the audience seeing their loneliness arranged across the screen. The song also speaks of the world becoming silent and the days getting shorter. It also speaks of losing control of one's imagination, and a need for a solution that is sweeping across the nation. The chorus repeats the phrase "Soon we'll televise our C-O-L-O-R" and speaks of leaving the listener blinded, erasing memories and causing a change in perspective. The spoken line "You're a fucking idiot and static's pouring out of your mouth!" is included, it suggest the speaker's anger and frustration towards the audience. The song also speaks of being present for the audience to see, but in the end, the speaker is asking the audience to applaud. Additionally, the lyrics also seem to be expressing a sense of being controlled or manipulated by the media, with phrases such as "turn your eyes towards the screen" and "all the limits of the televised have gone erratic." The use of the word "color" in the phrase "Soon we'll televise our C-O-L-O-R" may also be a metaphor for the way that the media presents a curated, artificial version of reality. The spoken line "Turn the volume up, folks! Listen to the words I say now!" suggests the speaker is demanding that the audience pay attention to what they have to say and not just be passive consumers of media. The lyrics also express a feeling of being trapped, with the line "And now you'll turn your eyes towards the screen" and "there's a voice inside my head that says you've had enough." It also seems like the lyrics are expressing a desire to take control of one's own life, imagination and thoughts, and not be controlled by the media and the world around them. The lyrics suggest a need for a change, and a desire to break free from the monotony and silence of the world. The spoken line "Turn the signal down and spin around in the opposite direction" can be interpreted as a call to take control of one's own life and not be led blindly by the media. The song also speaks of the power of imagination, and how it can be used to create a new reality. The line "I've lost control of my imagination" can be interpreted as a feeling of being trapped in a reality created by others, and a desire to take control of one's own imagination to create a new reality. The song also speaks about the audience being a part of the media, and the lyrics repeat the phrase "Soon you'll be a part of C-O-L-O-R" which can suggest that the audience is not just passive consumers of media, but also have the power to shape the narrative and the reality that the media presents. The lyrics also suggest that the audience has seen enough, that they are tired of being manipulated and controlled by the media. The lyrics also speak of the audience being left "nauseous" and "changes everything" which could be interpreted as a call to action to question what they are being presented with and to not accept it blindly. The lyrics also seem to be asking the audience to take a step back, to turn the volume down and spin around in the opposite direction, in order to see the reality for what it is. The song also speaks of the artist already being present, and always being present, which can be interpreted as a way of saying that the artist is not just a product of the media, but also an individual with their own thoughts, opinions and reality. The artist is not just a part of the media but also have their own voice, and their own reality that they want to share with the audience. The lyrics also contain elements of satire, sarcasm, and irony. The spoken line "Turn the volume up, folks! Listen to the words I say now! You're a fucking idiot and static's pouring out of your mouth!" is an example of this, as it is spoken in a way that is meant to be sarcastic or ironic. It is intended to mock the idea of the audience as passive consumers of media who are easily manipulated and controlled. The lyrics also speak of the audience being "nauseous" and "erase my memories" which is meant to be a way of emphasizing the negative effects of media on the individual, and the way it can manipulate our thoughts and memories. The line "And now will you please applaud?" is also meant to be ironic. It is asking for the audience's approval and validation, but in a way that is meant to mock the idea of the artist needing the audience's approval. The lyrics also speaks of the artist as being present and always being present, this is meant to be a way of emphasizing the artist's own reality and the fact that they are not just a product of the media. he lyrics also touch on the theme of loneliness, this is reflected in the lines "And all the colors of my loneliness arranged across the screen" and "The world's gone silent." These lines suggest that the speaker feels disconnected and alone, and that the media is only amplifying these feelings by presenting a curated and artificial version of reality. The lyrics also speak of the days getting shorter, which can be interpreted as a metaphor for the fleeting nature of life and the feeling that time is running out. The lyrics also suggest that the speaker has grown tired of the monotony and repetition of life, and is searching for something more. This is reflected in the line "There's a voice inside my head that says you've had enough." This line suggests that the speaker is no longer content with their current reality, and is searching for something more meaningful and fulfilling. The lyrics also contain elements of despair and hopelessness. The line "I've lost control of my imagination" can be interpreted as a feeling of being trapped and unable to change the reality that one is in. The line "Tell me a solution" can be interpreted as a plea for help, and a sense of not knowing what to do next. overall, the lyrics of this song express feelings of alienation, frustration, and a desire to break free from the manipulation and control of the media. The song also touches on themes of loneliness, the fleeting nature of life, and the search for something more meaningful and fulfilling. The lyrics also contain elements of satire, sarcasm, and irony, which are used to mock and criticize the way the media manipulates and controls the audience, and the way the artist need the audience's approval. The lyrics also contain elements of despair and hopelessness, which reflect the feeling of being trapped and unable to change the reality that one is in. The lyrics also speak about the theme of memory, control and manipulation, and power.

Soon we’ll televise our L-E-G-G-Y

ok am i losing my mind or was this called "megalovania" for a day????

It's changed back to colorbars
