Just here to say that I LOVE how you trabslated the "Sayonara" at the beggining, not just a "good bye" or "firewell", but it's true meaning, "we'll never met up again", the final good bye

This is a crazy coincidence. The song that made me discover Will was Phony, which, as of yesterday, Trickle has covered. Whereas the song that made me discover Trickle was Lower One's Eyes, which Will has covered as of today.

After hearing so many covers in Japanese and Trickle's English cover I'm so excited for this one. The beginning sounds so good

Heck with it, I'm making an explanation about the video and the lyrics. 0:05 - The witch is wearing fish earrings, which is a prominent symbol of christianity, we can take here that she represents Jesus judging from the next clips. 0:09 - Is a direct parallel of the last supper, since the character with yellow sleeves here is in the same place as Judas, we can say she represents Judas. 0:13 - May represent witch burning, but I believe it's a similar clue to the Crucification of Jesus Christ. 0:17 0:18 - The yellow sleeves (We'll just call her the maid) is kneeling in prayer through 0:26. 0:34 - As the light passes through her figure changes to a red flower, which represents love, or intoxication. 0:41 - The witch's figure turns to a white flower instead, which represents death. 0:46 - The witch is seen healing someone, which perhaps represents Jesus healing the blind man in the bible. 0:55 - We clearly see the maid envious of the suitor, her figure is yellow, which in the cardinal sin represents greed, in a bid for wanting to have the witch all for herself. Through all the dancing moments their figures become more colorful, this is most likely in the maid's POV of her falling in love with the witch. 1:29 - We get a close up zoom of a dinner plate, and a wine glass, the wine glass is in the same place where the red flowers where, which I believe could probably supplement my idea that the flowers meant intoxication instead, as if the maid was getting an addiction towards the witch's love. 1:37 - There is no sign of the witch at all, if the witch died it would make sense this way. 1:42 - We see posters depicting the witch selling her soul to the devil, which was a common belief during the witch hunts on how witches got their power. 1:43 - The maid is seen carrying a book with arcane symbolism, most likely a book used by witches. 1:45 - Another depiction of the Last Supper, this time with the rest of the maid's faces blotched out in black, this is in the POV of the maid, others around her becoming irrelevant except for the witch. 1:51 - This may be a far fetch but the bird cage is empty, in the bible birds represented still being loved by God, the bird cage is empty so maybe God gave up on her because of her basically selling her soul to the devil too for the Witch's love. 1:55 - This the the first time the witch has a flower motif, they are colorless along with her, but the primary color is white which could be a throwback to 0:41. 2:04 - The rain is the same color as the witch's robes, which could maybe represent her blood and how the maid embraced it (A reference to Jesus' blood being wine.) In the next dance scene the other faces are crossed out. 2:24 - Some posters depicting the witch being hunted down for being a witch. 2:27 - The maid is trying to explain something judging from her pose. 2:28 - A patron is telling a priest about the maid, maybe suspicious of her. 2:31 - The witch is pointing at the maid as if accusing her. 2:33 - The maid is carrying the witch book with traces of its magic in her hands, it could mean she used it for something. 3:00 - The maid (I assume) is buying the raincoat so she can't be recognized, since she is forbidden from where the witch is located. 3:07 - The figures of the other maids appear to be whispering to eachother, as if talking about the other maid. Through 3:12, we see the witch's figure completely dissapear as if the maid is dancing alone, along with having no one around her, this possibly hints on what she did with the book. 3:13 we can see the witch turn into a skeleton, meaning she's dead of course. 3:19 - The witch is expressionless in the last cycles, unlike the first ones where she still smiles, which could be them repeating their dance in different circumstances from before. 3:22 - The maid is strangling the witch, this time the witch's face is blotched out like everyone else's. Here's what I think: 0:13 happened after their first dance together, the witch was burned to death which explains why the maid became more detached. The maid represents Judas - who ended up betraying the Witch (who in this case represents Jesus) because she sold her soul to the devil in order to be able to revive her. This witch being dead idea came from multiple different points which is 0:41, 1:37, 1:51, 1:55, 2:04, 2:24. The sole idea here is that after the maid was able to revive the witch through necromancy, instead of loving her like before she was hated by her instead, with 0:17, 0:18, 0:34, the maid instead of feeling hate is still madly in love with the witch to the point of insanity despite the witch being dead for a while. After being caught using black magic she was chased out, and bought a raincoat in order to disguise herself to be able to go back in where the witch was. The witch wasn't the same, since all that was left was basically just a shell. TL:DR, maid goes insane over love, revives dead loved one, becomes witch herself, damnit.

02:48　I feel your deep education and intellect in choosing the word "dance a pas de deux" instead of "dancing there with you".

Lower One's Eyes lyric: It’s just a prayer and I’m aware it’s fading, but oh Where’d my love retreat? I stare out as the curtain Tears on up high on the stage, so fare thee well We’ll leave our peace and never meet up again My tongue is tied, no thoughts on the mind When every feeling fades out-nothing behind And all the pressure, pushing’s leavin’ me tired and drained I tie a muzzle tight to cover my heart To keep the mind in check, my words under bars But every corpse-like sound is screaming to break from the chains I hide my eyes from shame I regret As all my failures build up blinds in my head Cause now I’m in too deep, but down to the end I’ll remain A tired rasp stings straight down a throat I neglect I try to find a glass, but everything’s wrecked Without a word, I stare not knowing a thing I should say Every feeling that I had inside has now all left me out to dry Sorta the same now, sorta different, sorta sly I don’t know how far down I’ll make it, or if I can see you out What, oh, are you thinking as you’re sinking in the darkness now? If I never get to see you again, if I never come and find you my friend Then I’ll tie you ever tightly here beside me, never slowing If you find you have a chance here with me, if you never wanna get up and leave Then don’t give up on that feeling, the future’s ours for reaching Soon you’ll see Peaceful, happy days, for attrition’s paid In truth it’s all the same The pain and pleasure both divy the weight Every sad regret, every panting breath “Let’s run and break away, this hall’s doomed anyway…” I whisper in the wistful, warping setting sun Always the same, it’s always the same wish, every one I don’t know how to start this journey, or if I’ve forgotten how What, oh, am I thinking as I’m sinking in the darkness now? If we’re ever growing sick of this bet, if there’s ever nothing more to be said Then I’ll free you from the nightmare here beside me, never slowing So we both can keep a cage on our hearts, so we stop from ever falling apart Let’s exchange those very pieces, I’ll treasure all their heat So let’s start Crying there with you Laughing after you Fighting there with you Singing there with you Dance a pas de deux Chatting there with you Whisper in the wistful, warping setting sun Always the same, it’s always the same, I can’t go on So that I never lose your breath upon my nape, I’ll carry on In the end, I wonder, just how long I’ll have to keep these thoughts Only us again, if… If I never get to see you again, if I never come and find you my friend Then I’ll tie you ever tightly here beside me, never slowing If you find you have a chance here with me, if you never wanna get up and leave I’ll make sure this precious feeling, the reason for my being is Always, always, free and eternal like my never ending love

The jazzy set of instruments make this cover one of the best I ever heard with the one from Chogakusei ! It will definitely be a fav for a while

i love your emotion in the singing, it just elevates it from just a singer singing a song to a storyteller telling a story. my favorite part is 2:41-2:56 its so well done, amazing

Thanks so much for using my inst!! This cover is actually straight flames!!!!

2:42 ここからのところ、「君と踊る」だけ歌詞の雰囲気がズレて、最終サビの映像をより意味深にしてる…｡ 言葉の使い方が上手すぎる。

推しが作った推し曲を推しが歌う…？？ 最高としか言えない。Willさんの歌い方が安定に好きです。今回も大変よかったです！！

I am so obsessed with the line “whisper in the wistful, warping, setting sun” as well as every other lyric in this brilliant song translation!!

"dance a pas de deux" WE GET IT, UR SMART. YOU CAN LEAVE NOW

2:41 Will really nailed this part. The melody and harmony is just everything

I really love this song and I can't wait for to hear this cover!

The lyrics are so intricate. David's work is always so impressive!! (Great job on the vocals btw!)

The "dance a pas de deux" bit got me so 😭👌

This cover has me in a chokehold, I just can't stop playing it. From the emotion in certain parts of the vocals to the extremely well made lyrics to the interesting spin on the original instrumentals, everything about this is just so incredible.

日本語とはまた違ったよさが滲み出てて最高すぎる

One thing you do so amazing that other English cover artists seem to miss is specific inter-lyric rhyme-schemes. Sometimes rhymes happen from between lines, and you keep those so well! I just wanted to let you know

こうやって日本のボカロ曲が広まってくれるのは嬉しい☺️

僕はすごく単純かもしれない だって英語で歌ってるだけでいつもよりかっこよく聞こえてしまうのだから

特にアレンジの部分がめっちゃ好きだな、かっこいい！ あとこの曲が太宰治の「駆込み訴え」を元に作られたと言われてるから、それを知るとより面白いと思うな。 I especially like the arrangement part!cool!!! It is said that this song was made based on the 駆込み訴え written by Japanese writer Osamu Dazai. I recommend reading the story because you can understand this song more. （I used a translator. I appologize if I am mistaken.）

Two cool details I didn't notice on first watch that directly parallel Judas' betrayal are the witch's earring 0:05 and the maids at 0:09 referencing last supper :>

I highly recommend An Urgent Appeal by Osamu Dazai, which inspired the original song It really enhances the experience all around, but the scene on the beach especially becomes much stronger with the context from the story

That was incredible! You really went off on this one, the lyrical flow is fantastic and I love the approach you took vocally! The harmonies and growl are especially breathtaking, I love your backing vocals and they’re mixed so well! Giving your voice multiple layers fits so freaking well for the song, too! I feel like it adds to the inner conflict of the Judas character here, having a different tone hidden behind the foremost words. Keep up the fantastic work! If Will sees this ily

英語のロウワーもめっちゃ良い、、、かっこよさが増す

I love this so much, your vocals are just something else man, also these lyrics David made go so freaking hard. The “dance a pas de deux” too, 😫 Thank you and the team for another banger. If Will Stetson sees this ily

It’s just a prayer and I’m aware it’s fading, but oh Where’d my love retreat? I stare out as the curtain Tears on up high on the stage, so fare thee well We’ll leave our peace and never meet up again My tongue is tied, no thoughts on the mind When every feeling fades out-nothing behind And all the pressure, pushing’s leavin’ me tired and drained I tie a muzzle tight to cover my heart To keep the mind in check, my words under bars But every corpse-like sound is screaming to break from the chains I hide my eyes from shame I regret As all my failures build up blinds in my head Cause now I’m in too deep, but down to the end I’ll remain A tired rasp stings straight down a throat I neglect I try to find a glass, but everything’s wrecked Without a word, I stare not knowing a thing I should say Every feeling that I had inside has now all left me out to dry Sorta the same now, sorta different, sorta sly I don’t know how far down I’ll make it, or if I can see you out What, oh, are you thinking as you’re sinking in the darkness now?

Another Lower One's Eyes cover to kidnap and add to my never ending loop of Lower One's Eyes covers. Banger as always, Will 👌 Also I only know little about Osamu Dazai so I'm gonna pretend that the Setting Sun was a reference to one of his works instead of it being an actual setting sun.

It’s a will Stetson cover, of course it’s gonna be good.

I went and gave the original a listen And damn I think this fits your style incredibly well and im looking forward to this cover

めちゃめちゃオシャレになってる！すごく好きです！！

I'm so excited, I love this song so much and all the versions of it! Can't wait to add yours in the list

I’ve been waiting for this cover! Thanks a lot, it sounds amazing!🤩

I love the way you enunciate your words, the way it flows with the rhythm is really pleasing to listen to.

Been listening to this song for a while now and oh boy... The mv kinda hit different in this cover idk why, and Will voice is just *way* too fit for this style of rhythm, your grumpy voice is also just 👌(*chef kiss) perfect, and man...... David's lyrics is just always mind-blowing

This is actually no joke my favorite song now

Something I've always loved about his covers is that you can hear the emotions in his voice.

dance a pas de deux 調べてみて、メイドちゃんのことを思うと胸がぐぅってなる表現だとわかりました。素敵。

Masterful vocals once again

I've been waiting for the English cover for this song so thank you so much for making this song's English cover :D

I’ve been waiting so long for a good cover of this song thanks!

Always so beautiful voice!

I love how the lyrics flow, it’s so good!

Took me a while to see this video because of exams, but as expected i absolutely love it!!! I remember getting swallowed in a rabbit hole of the all the symbolism in it and this cover makes me love it more. I especially love the running into the forest part at the end! The lyrics along with your delivery gave me chills!!

いつも素敵なカバーありがとうございます！最高です😭💕✨

I have never been so excited for a cover to come out, every single song that u cover is such a delightful and exquisite experience to live. Ty Will 4everything

GOD HOW CAN YOU BE SO GOOD AT THIS I cannot comment for an entire hour I'm trying to wrap your cover in my head, the lyrics, the growls, everything. You delivered so well on this. I honestly hope you cover more project sekai commissioned songs in the future but I am content with the fact you have done one of the best songs in the game

Yoooo this was so good!! I totally love your covers!

Gosh- Will Stetson as always surprises me, it truly is the best english version I've heard and I think it truly capturates the original vibe. Can never get enough out of your work, can't wait to listen to you again !

coming back about a month later and this is probably one of my favorite will stetson covers. just something about it makes it so addicting and I love it 🥹💞

THIS IS SUCH A GOOD COVER AND YOU TRANSLATED IT SO WELL WOW IM JUST SO IMPRESSED

毎回鳥肌レベルのクオリティ…

OH MY GOD THANK YOU FOR THIS COVER I LOVE THIS SONG

I needed this I have been feeling depressed but this song as given me the willpower to continue I remember when I heard the original but your cover it’s just so magical

It’s interesting how people translate differently. This is really good and honestly my favorite English cover, even though you’re definitely adding your own spin to a great portion of the lyrics when translating

It’s crazy how just yesterday I was looking for English covers of this song, I can’t wait for this to come out

声もいいし英語アレンジかっこいいし最高か……

This cover it's so fantastic!!!!! It sounds so good.

コーラスが死ぬほど綺麗で泣いた

I’ve been waiting for this cover for so long, one day more.

I usually don't like a cover more than the original, but this is an exception! Great job, Will!!!!

初めてこの人の歌聴いたけどすごい好き…アレンジいいなあ

日本語と英語じゃ言葉の長さ？とかも違うのにこんな違和感のないのすごい😮

This cover will be playing in my head for the month, thank you king

Yknow, I didn’t like this the first time I listened to it. But now that I’ve listened to it a few times, it goes hard as hell. Thank you for this amazing cover as always, Will

I love it 💕💕💕 You have a beautiful voice! 😭😭💕💕💕

Another Project Sekai cover since Identity! I love it❤️

I promise it’s worth it to listen to this while going along with the transcript

The loop sounds like part of the song The immersion never breaks

ありがとうございます…！！！とてもかっこよくて、歌声が曲に合っていて最高です…！ボカロ版、プロセカ版で聴くのとはまた違った印象でカッコいいです！
