MORALS BABY WOO YEAH open.spotify.com/track/3GeeqNhbIL9fLyBU3ATBRo?si=13ab8791974b4126

"Stelle is morally grey" my brother in god she has intergalactic terrorists on speed dial and she texts them frequently

WE ARE DOING GOOD DEEDS WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥

Y'know what sums up this song perfectly? Stelle is lawful chaotic. They follow a strict set of rules but no one knows what the hell they are. Which actually fits in with the "It feels so good when you're morally gray" part, since they stick to their morals but no one really knows what they are... So sometimes their actions are good, sometimes they're maniacally insane

Stelle is such a player character. Like that's her canon personality. She can come off as a sleepy and apathetic "player controlled character" that just wants to fight and do quests and dailies, especially if you make the choices that reflect that, while also being a beloved heroine for deeds, while also just being a little silly that makes mistakes while doing good, and it makes sense somehow.

thank you Will Stetson, i need every "Praise of High Morals" i can get

im suprised more people havent pointed out how ironic/sarcastic this song is, it's stelle literally going "everything you think is right, everyone is morons if they disagree, do morally good things because you get praised/good karma, (and in the words of will stetson) onlyyourpersonalhappinesswhenmakingpositivedecisions" in the beginning it seems like the things are moral and it progressively gets worse, but in reality this entire song is just about stelle's personal opinions on her morals XD edit: i'm referencing reactions i've seen! the song's sarcasm was the first thing i noticed and i thought it was hilarious so i didn't expect reactions wouldn't point it out too. please chill in the replies :')

Thanks for having me record guitars again! Miyo writes the best guitars 🥵

I still see stelle and caelus literally just little toddlers in teenager bodies. They are curious, clueless and overall Still figuring out themselves, and has the self-focusing characteristics of a toddler. Its a wonder welt gets all sweaty when they get into combat.

"HSR Fansong" doesn't describe how amazingly universal this song is. It's so easy to fall into virtue- signaling echo chambers on the internet, and even easier to believe that groups of PEOPLE you don't like are morons. And here it's literally just Stelle causing havoc for them cool items 😂 what a masterpiece Edit: I have nothing against the color purple I'm so sorry 😭

THERE’S NO WAY. There goes Will Stetson creating a new song that will be stuck in my head for months to come

Ok I didn't think someone would write a song about this item. This is hilarious and such a bop.

"Be sure to consider only yourpersonalhappinesswhenmakingdecisions" Thanks for the lesson in morals, Stelle! Off I go dumpster diving again!

Fun Art Fact: the blurred painting at the beginning of the video is called “The Garden of Earthly Delights”, and it pictures the Garden of Eden (left), the Garden of Earthly Delights (middle), and hell (right). A common interpretation of this painting is a moral warning (of some kind). A nice little touch I haven’t seen anyone bring up.

i wanna talk about how batshit insane this song is: it is just saying "listen to the voices in your head and disregard the idiots who disagree" but since i want to get more likes lets examine the lyrics even more even more!: "Society’s collapsing; hanging by a thread" "The kids are running wild and chivalry is dead" "Let’s be better than before" "I’ll give the tools you need to become one of the Moral Elite" this statement tells us 2 things, first is that the guy whos "helping" us believes that the world is already collapsing and going to shit, second, is that he believes that whit his help we can be good people, and because of that he is the one and only person who knows how to be a truly good person, because he believes himself as one of the moral elite.| "It feels so good when your morals are praised" "So listen to the voice you’re hearing deep inside" "When times are tough and you’ve lost your way" "Just remember that virtue is always repaid" "If you keep all your morals high" as said in the original comment this is basically "it feel so good to be right and morally superior, you should hear to the voices deep inside my head, and when you feel you did something wrong, you're not!, keep on going!" which is pretty bad advice if i say so myself, it breeds and narcissistic way to see the world and the morality of actions, to do what you want in belief what you are doing is morally correct, and it makes the thought of changing your mind seem insane. "What’s this money doing here, in a fountain running dry?" "I guess I’ll give it all to a waiter standing by" "Wow he’s looking kinda bored, let’s “liven up” his day" "In a “morally acceptable” way" at the first action, it insinuates that giving money tat you just found to a worker person standing by is the morally right things to do, even thought that the money does not belong to you, and someone might just left it there to get it later, but in general, its something you and me would do. this is just weird and frankly annoying, jump scaring someone isn't really a way to liven up their day, its a way to freak them out, it also says "he’s looking kinda bored" saying that the song protag isn't even sure if he's bored, it even puts "morally acceptable" in quotation marks, to question the true acceptability of this way. "Open somebody else’s letters" "Help a friend keep time better" "Throw a party and bring along every person you know" "See a bomb? Time to be a hero" "Just for fun divide by zero" "Morality is possible everywhere you go" now this geos from bad advice to crimes, invading someone piracy is straight up evil, but i just gotta ask, why the heck is is even here?, what does checking others peoples letters gotta do with morality?. The second and third are weird but fine. HOWEVER, the forth statement shows us that the impact character only wants to act as a hero, throwing a bomb at a glitching tree for some fucking reason. and finally, morality is unfortunately not compatible with every situation, you cant always be good under a normal rule of ethics, since different beliefs clash and and deferrer it causes problems which cant be fixed by following a fixed set o ideals. "But sometimes you’ll struggle" "People will hate you for spreading the truth" "But they’re all morons, don’t listen to them" "Only you can decide what is right" this is just reinforcing the echo chamber by saying anyone who disagrees or doesn't like your ideals are "morons", and aslso saying that you're the only person whos ideals are right. other than that that pretty much the entire song in detail, thanks for reading my 40 page college paragraph.

the most random thing to write an HSR song about but also the most perfect thing because I truly love earning the praise of high morals just so I can use them to do terrible things afterwards. Loved it!

I remember laughing so hard when I finally figured out that 'Praise of High Morals' was 100% in Stelle's head, which is why it was so random if she was doing something that one could argue actually is moral when she gets them. So now seeing it presented in song form? Is just perfect.

never thought I'd hear a song about the Praise of High Morals item, but it is one of my favorite little touches about HSR!

Before this song, I was morally bankrupt, but now every time I have a moral conundrum, I will remember this song and know exactly what to do.

This. This is why I love Will's original pieces. the lyrics are always one clear sentence/point, that slowly twists into something else, usually the counter opposite of the original sentence/point.

DAMMIT WILL WHY MUST YOU TEASE US LIKE THIS Edit: ‘Twas an amazing song, lived up to the hype I had gained

The full lyrics: Society's collapsing hanging by a thread The kids are running wild And chivalry is dead Let's be better than before I'll give the tools you need To become one of the moral elite When you see a potted plant that's drying in the sun Then giving it some water is morals 101 And if rushing to it's aid Makes something fragile break It's moral to admit your mistake Feed the birds until they can't fly While keeping your neighbour dry And giving an autographed photo To ravenous fans Pick up somebody else's litter Clean a dumpster until it glitters You have to treat things morally every time you can It feels so good when your morals are praised So listen to the voice you're hearing deep inside When times are tough and you've lost your way Just remember that virtue is always repayed If you keep all your morals high What's this money doing here in a fountain running dry? I guess I'll give it all to a waiter standing by Wow he's looking kinda bored Let's "liven" up his day in a "morally acceptable" way Open somebody else's letters Help a friend keep time better Throw a party and bring along every person you know See a bomb time to be a hero Just for fun divide by zero Morality is possible everywhere you go But sometimes you'll struggle People will hate you for spreading the truth But they're all morons, don't listen to them Only you can decide what is right It feels so good when your morals are praised So listen to the voice you're hearing deep inside When times are tough and you've lost your way Be sure to consider only Your personal happiness when making decisions It feels so good when you're morally gray So listen to the voice you're hearing deep inside When times are tough and you've lost your way Remember the wisdom I've taught you today Be sure to keep your morals high (Tell me if I missed anything/made something wrong, thanks! :D)

This is such a banger, truly! HoYoFair simply wouldnt be itself without a Will Stetson song, wether its GI or HSR, or wether its sad or not! Props to everyone who helped with this song!

WE GETTING PRAISE OF HIGH MORALS WITH THIS ONE🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

WE'RE KEEPING OUR MORALS HIGH WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥 Happy new year everyone!!

WE BECOMING ONE OF THE MORALLY ELITE WITH THUS ONE 🔥🔥

Sometimes you have to question if the MC is actually on the path of Elation with how much chaos she causes

I’ve been listening to this song on repeat for like a day now and I just LOVE the meaning of it. The way that you use generic lyrics in some sections and then make it slowly derail to emphasize just how easy it is to stray off from the morals set by others is so good. I love this song so much

god, i never fail to feel immense pride in you will. I remember two or three years ago, you always wanted to go out and make your own songs, and you wanted to have them succeed... Well, look at you now! you are doing great! these songs are amazing, and seeing how far you've come in the time i've been around you just... it makes me so happy. Im glad to have met you.

i love how i instantly recognised the pixelated painting because of art class, for anyone wondering,its "de tuin der lusten" by jeroen bosch

here's some indonesian translation of the lyrics. mostly for practice, but also maybe for any indon HSR fans out there who may or may not come across this gem. :p (note: not meant to be sung along, just a dry translation) [ LYRICS ] Masyarakat runtuh; tergantung pada seutas benang Anak-anak berkeliaran dan tiada lagi sopan-santun Mari kita menjadi lebih baik dari sebelumnya Akan 'ku ajarkanmu cara menjadi seseorang yang Bermoral Tinggi (High, high, high morals!) Kalau melihat tanaman berjemur dibawah mentari Menyiramkannya dengan air itu moral Dan jika bergegasan untuk membantunya bisa membuat barang pecah Termasuk moral untuk mengakui kesalahanmu Suapkan burung-burung hingga tak bisa terbang Sambil jaga tetanggamu kering Dan memberi foto tanda-tangan kepada fans menggila Ambil sampah buangan orang lain Bersihkan tong sampah sampai berkilau Kau harus memperlakukan segala sesuatu secara moral sebisamu Rasanya sangat memuaskan kalau moralmu dipuji Jadi dengarlah suara yang kau dengar dalam hatimu Ketika masa-masa sulit dan kau sesat di jalan Ingatlah saja kebajikan akan selalu dibalas Kalau kau menjunjung tinggi moralitas mu (High, high, high morals!) Sedang apa duit ini disini, dalam air mancur mengalir? Mungkin ku berikan saja ke seorang pelayan disebelah Wow dia sedang kelihatan bosan, yuk kita "hiburkan" dia Dengan cara yang "sepantasnya moral" Buka kotak surat orang lain Bantu teman jaga waktu Adakan pesta dan ajak semua yang kau kenal Ada bom? Saatnya jadi pahlawan Buat iseng aja bagi dengan nol Moralitas itu bisa dimana saja kau berjalan Tapi kadang kau akan berjuang keras Orang-orang akan membencimu menyebarkan kebenaran Tapi mereka semua tolol, jangan dengarkan mereka Hanya kau yang bisa tentukan apa yang benar Rasanya sangat memuaskan kalau moralmu dipuji Jadi dengarlah suara yang kau dengar didalam hatimu Ketika masa-masa sulit dan kau sesat di jalan Pertimbangkanlah hanya kebahagiaanmusendirisaatmembuatkeputusan Rasanya sangat memuaskan kalau moralmu abu Jadi dengarlah suara yang kau dengar dalam hatimu Ketika masa-masa sulit dan kau sesat di jalan Ingatlah kebijakan yang sudah kuajarkan ke kamu Junjunglah tinggi moralitas mu (High, high, high morals!)

I like how this song really does fit stelle's personality of someone who was born last month and is trying to copy people that we're kind to her

God the music video on this is so clever! The use of definitions and facts and stuff just randomly placed in there to teach a "Morality Lesson" is so cool, I love it! The song itself is amazing too, I love how it goes "do this to be good" and then at the end goes "but be selfish any time you wanna do something because you should be happy :D" I love it all so much

100% my Caelus would go to the Divination Commision and divide by zero to see what happens.

Ending the vocal melody with the lick was both so troll and so fitting. Bravo

YESSS A HSR FANSONG!!! and by the king himself!

WE GETTING PRAISE OF THE HIGH MORALS WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

今更聞いてbgmの良さとサビの爽快感にハマりました！ スタレ好きとしてリピートしたいです

The moral lesson is that so long as you feel good about a decision you're morally "correct" no matter what anyone might say or think. It's like good and evil. Good is anything I believe it is and evil is everything else, y'know? It's just how morality works. Even if most people base their morality on what society decides in morally good, it's still what someone decided should be considered good. it doesn't make it the moral choice. Just the popular one. And in the land of YOU you're the most popular person around, morality is whatever makes you happy.

I like how it starts with telling to be morally good to telling to be morally gray. I just love the change of perspective in your songs, keep it up.

I will be shocked if Stelle’s VA actually does a cover of this song!!!

no one asked for this, but here's the essay put in tiny text throughout the video: The topic of this entry is not at least directly moral theory: rather, it is the definition of morality. Moral theories are large and complex things: definitions are not. The question of the definition of morality is the question of identifying the target of moral theorizing. Identifying this target enables us to see dilferent moral theories as attempting to capture the very same thing. And it enables psychologists, anthropologists, evolutionary biologists, and other more empirically oriented theorists to design their experiments or formulate their hypotheses without prejudicing matters too much in terms of the specific content a code. Judgment. or norm must have in order to count as distinctively' moral. There does not seem to be much reason to think that a single delinition of morality will be applicable to all moral discussions. One reason for this is that "morality" seems to be used in two distinct broad senses: a descriptive sense and a normative sense. Which of these two senses of "morality" a moral philosopher is using plays a crucial, although sometimes unacknowledged role in the development of an ethical theory. If one uses "morality in its deseriptive sense, and therefore uses it to refer to codes of conduct actually put forward by distinct groups or societies, one will almost certainly deny that there is a universal morality that applies to all human beings. The descriptive use of "morality" is the one used by anthropologists when they report on the morality of the societies that they study. Recently, some comparative and evolutionary psychologists (Haidt 2000: Hauser 2006: De Waal 1996) have taken morality, or a close anticipation of it, to be present among groups of non human animals: primarily, but not exclusively, other primates. Accepting that there are two uses or senses of "morality" - a descriptive sense and a normative sense does not commit one to holding that the distinction between descriptions and norms between what is and what ought to be - is obvious and unbridgeable". as some have held that it does (Churchland 2011: 185). To see this, note that it is obvious that there is a descriptive sense of morality. That is, it is obvious (that one can sensibly describe the moralities of various groups without making normative claims. And it should be equally obvious that that one might hold that a certain code of conduct would be put forward by all rational people under certain conditions without having any particular views about the nature of the is ought gap or the possibility of crossing it. great song, will! super enjoyed itt

waiting room for Will to make an Aventurine based on fansong

I thought the bomb line was a joke….. after checking some trash cans I found out it isn’t a joke

I can't express how happy I was to listen to this song! The moral scale in-game is such a minute aspect of the game that doesn't contribute much to the main plot of the story or side quests, but it is one of the funniest things do find what aspect of each world you can add to your moral scale or take it away. It is one of those little details that many players may overlook, but for you to write an entire song dedicated to the MC performing good deeds and obtaining those moral scales, I can only applaud you

This Stelle with the praise of high morals in her hands really gives feelings of a divine being showing us morality

As someone who actually keeps up being a moral person and is new to Honkai Star Rail... Dang this is a gift

When she punches the camera man I can't 😂 This is a banger as always, Will.

As a student in math, the division by zero hurts me more than i'm willing to admit

I love how most of these things are technically not moral. Like feeding birds until they can't fly, the autographed photo, helping in a 'moral' way, Opening other's letters, helping Stelle's friend with time, bringing everyone you know to a party, dividing by zero (usually isn't a good thing,) and technically the plant because it resulted in it breaking. Another mention could include giving the waiter the money (it's not their's, the moral thing would be to give the money back to the owner).

長らくお世話になります… 0:54 1:15 2:24 🫶！！！！！！！！！ サビ行ったとき下がるのオシャレすぎんだろ…間奏大好き

Stelle is such a menace I love her.

I absolutely love this. It fits so well, the artwork is beautiful, the song has a cheerful vibe and lyrics that at first, make you think this is just a song about doing good but you kinda realize it’s not what it seems. Very well-written and incredible! I really want to say more but its very late at night so my brain is half-asleep

There’s now better way to end this year than with this morality lesson!! HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! ♥️

banger song mr stetson

I only now realized the chorus was singing "Hey! Hey! MORALS!" and not "MOORS!" 😂

I’ve read every paragraph in the MV out loud like I was preaching, and now my family is concerned. That’s moral, right?

The song starting off with gloomy lyrics and then rapidly descending into cheerful madness is exactly the vibe I'm getting whenever I play hsr, it's so fitting. Truly a shitpost mixed perfectly with amazing talent ((also I really hope will is not being held hostage by the hoyofair crew because this is the third hoyofair song in one year-))

This song was playing in the background and when i was playing and i was about to giveup but then heard this out of context(2:48)and i thought literally "yeah i should cheer up and keep my moral high insteadof losing hope its making me worse at playing"

Sounds awesome I can tell from the trailer alone that once this comes out it will be on repeat for a while

WE’RE WINNING OUT 50/50S WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🔥🔥

Damn, my brain has started to reverse it into just moral anarchy and it is a strait banger.

HSR taught me that Morality is actually a currency. Right and wrong is purely transactional. dw about it

The monogatari editing is so good!

Fun thing is that most of the situations in the moral lessons are actually some side quests in game. I love this. Like watering the plant on herta station. It is super cute :>

WE SUCCOMBING TO THE VOICES IN OUR HEAD WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥

I think the reason I love this song is because it doesn't feel like a fan song it's just universal you and your team did a great job with this

I wasn't expecting to find a song like this... damn, this is great. It really hits well with the game and life in general. Well done...

WE STARTING THE YEAR STRONG WITH THIS ONE!!!

Idk how you guys thought to make a song for high morals 😂 it’s so endearing and catchy 😊Thank y’all so much, you guys did a fabulous job!

WE LEARNING MORALS WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

投稿されてから毎日聞いていて今更ですが、すごく好きです！offvocalも最高だと確信してるのでいくらでも待ちます！！！

this is the feral racoon Stelle song we needed

currently 2:34am on new years, but nothing will stop me listening to this🔥🔥💃💃

never thought i'd hear a song where chanting "morals!" makes any sense. Fantastic XD

All these mihoyo games songs are amazing. So glad to see fansongs of my fav games/ game characters.

2:54 Pattern Recognizing Monkey Brain Activate. ANALYZING… “the lick”

It’s an absolute wonder to listen to, once it’s on on Spotify, it’s definitely going to be played on loop for me. Will, your singing is melodious, and these lyrics are fantastic. Amazing song. Happy New Year’s everyone!

Damn, pulling a Monogatari frames on me. It compulses me to read all text in the in-between frames and I already love you for that stylistic choice. Also it's smart as then I had to listen to the song again to, you know, actually listen to it.

MY FAVOURITE RACOON'S THEME SONG

WE'RE MAKING IT INTO THE INSANE ASYLUM WITH THIS ONE!!!!! 🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥

WE GETTING OUT THE HOOD WITH THIS ONE, POOKIE!💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This song is such a bop and a thought manifested and im like what if its a villain singing this song so I made this parody almost instantly (its basically just the opposite of the song) Society’s conniving; held by a "sturdy" string The kids are orderly, and chivalry's the thing Let’s regress to days of yore I'll give you tools to embrace the morally impure (Low, low, low morals!) If you spot a potted plant, let it wither in the sun Morals are overrated; it's time for some real fun If breaking something makes you laugh, don't admit mistake Take advantage, exploit, and watch the world break Starve the birds until they drop Let your neighbor's roof leak non-stop Snub fans, let them hunger for your autograph Dump your litter with glee Turn the dumpster into debris Morality's a choice; ignore it, just laugh It feels so good when your morals are scorned Ignore that inner voice; let it go ignored When times are tough, and you've lost your way Virtue's a myth; live for yourself today Let your morals fall away (Low, low, low morals!) Money in a fountain, take it all and don't ask why Keep it for yourself; let the waiter's hopes die He's looking kinda bored; let's make his day In a morally questionable, self-serving way Open everyone else’s letters Worsen a procrastinator Throw a party, but only invite those who have served you well See a bomb? Run away; save yourself zero morals equaling to more wealth Morality's a joke, just laugh and rebel You'll only triumph sometimes People will hate you for spreading your lies They might be right; listen to them So that you can repent when its convenient It feels so good when your morals are scorned So drown out that inner voice, let it be ignored When times are tough and you've lost your way Ignore personal happiness; lock all your hopes of belonging It feels so good when your morally stained So drown out that inner voice, let it be ignored When times are tough, and you've lost your way Remember the chaos you have sown today Keep your morals low (Low, low, low morals!) im just imagining someone that is just morally unhinged singing this to themselves

If I had to use one word to describe the song, it would be "awesome"! Thank you for this super cool piece!

Interesting that the screen turns pink when it says “but they’re all morons.” Made me think of Kafka…

I bet this will be good as always, your voice makes everything sound perfect

It’s crazy that this song is already a month old time flys by quickly

Happy New Year! I'm sure with this song our morality will be rewarded in the coming year 😌

Will be pumping out back to back bangers this month

Great song and great lesson, It is hard to explain how much I love this song.

Love it how an article about morality is going on the background lol

Love how everything shown is an actual event or quest in the game, love the music too keep it up :D.

Omg this sounds amazing so far! Can't wait for the full thing!

Ending this year off with a bang!🎉 (With Stelle’s batting skills ofc). Glad I could be here for the premiere, happy new year everyone!!✨

Wow this is amazing, didn't knew we would get a fansong about our favorite Trash Tomboy Stelle and it suits her character so much, she's such an unhinged chaotic racoon and this song proves it even more. Now all we need is a female version so it better suits Stelle as she's the one singing it but still you did an amazing job with your vocals. thank you and happy new year!

I love star rail

when will the off vocal be uploaded? i've been obsessed with this song since released 😭 would love to have the honor of covering it!

Yep, Stelle and Caelus, those chaos goblins, definitely need a morality lesson.

I want more songs like this

YESSSS I’m so hyped for the livestream, hope more people find your work!
