Technoblade meant a lot to a lot of people, myself included. I wanted to make something special to commemorate him.
Most of the time, it only takes me a day or so to write lyrics, but this song took me weeks. I was searching for the right words, wanting to make sure it was as perfect as it could be for Techno. It took me a while to figure out what I wanted to say. Techno was, and still is, one of my favorite KZfaqrs. I started watching his content in 2020. I remember being so excited for online class to end so that I could catch a Techno stream. Late at night or during my lunch break at school, I would binge his videos, SMP Earth, Minecraft Mondays, bedwars, skywars, you name it. The character he made for the Dream SMP was also one of my favorites.
If you've watched my other videos, you might have seen that I've written quite a few Dream SMP songs. Techno was one of the first and only big content creators to ever comment on one of my songs. Discovering that he listened to my song and liked it was an incredible feeling. It made my entire year!
During a really dark time in many people's lives, Techno's content brought so much joy. I made so many friends through Technoblade, online and in real life. I remember my junior year I didn't have many friends at school. Then one day I found out someone in my AP class loved to watch Techno and we became friends through that. When we were waiting to take the AP test at the end of the year, the two of us were doodling pictures of his character on our scratch paper. Most people probably don't know this but for Halloween, I dressed up as said character. Some other friends that I had introduced to Techno's content did a group costume with me. There are countless other stories I could share, but I'll keep those close to my chest for now.
When I found out Techno had passed away, it hit really hard. I really hope this song can do him justice.
This video/song is a fundraiser for the Sarcoma Foundation of America, which is the charity Techno's family is supporting on his merch site. I will not be monetizing this song or uploading it to any other streaming platforms because I want this upload of the song to get the most attention, so people can see the fundraiser and donate.
Thank you so much, Techno, for being a light to so many in a dark time. Thank you for the laughter and joy you gave me and countless others. I will always treasure the memories and the friends I made along the way.
Legends never die
Big shoutout to ‪@capillis‬ , aka Grace, who helped me produce this song, and ‪@Niffin‬, for making the beautiful artwork. Both of them did so free of charge, just happy to help contribute to the fundraiser. They both put a lot of time and effort into this and I appreciate them so much. Thank you!!
