Time for another big one.
“29 :Favourite song: At the moment, Zenmajikake no Kami wa Kaku Katakiri by Automata Girl. If I haven’t posted it yet, I will tomorrow“
Well, a few days have passed, and yes, this is still the song topping my personal list. “Thus Spoke the Clockwork God”, sung from Seiga’s PoV, presumably, by the wonderful Yuna. There is some serious fucking emotion being put into these vocals, and they DEMAND that you stop and pay attention.
“Come hither,” the first words of the song call, and the heavy, hard to ignore, almost carnal bass contrasted with the lighter tones of the Sitar, and that bit of Digeridoo to tie it all together, laying a nice groundwork for one of the hard-hitting lyrical journey ahead of us.
Carnal was a very... intentional word choice for that bass, as the writing here is just that, and reflected wonderfully in the arrange’s overall sound. The lyrics cast Seiga as someone who pretty much feeds off of reactions and emotion, encouraging the listener, egging them on for whatever she can get from them, and in far from healthy ways.
This song has some pretty dark tones in it, and I can’t help but dig that. It’s not Masa-level “Oh my god” dark, but more of a shady back alley in a place thousands of miles from home, probably a brothel, with the sexual themes present here.
Either way, I hope you enjoy this one as much as I do.
