Still Alive on Mario Paint Composer

Edit: June 8th - Got round to playing Portal and completing it, and man was that cake delicious and moist. If you haven't played Portal, I highly recommend.

Once upon a time, about half a year or so ago, I discovered Still Alive 2.0 by Geoffnet1. (Click the link in the video) I thought to myself Wow, this is amazing! I wish I could make something this good! Now, that dream will NEVER become a reality, yet I decided to have a crack at the tune myself.

Featuring my 2nd tune on Mario Paint Composer, (Along with Tetris) Still Alive! It was one of the pieces I worked on ages ago and actually finished. I decided to make it 5 times better, and on a new sound set. Although I cant get the percussion right, Im satisfied with the result, since I wasnt aiming to make a copy of the tune, but more a different way of putting it.

I used Cat333Pokemons real sound set 2.0 for this.

The amount of time it took me to create this is unknown. I spend about half an hour each night working on my pieces, and they take up a lot of nights. I guess Im just a slow worker.

Anyways, Ive gone on long enough. Enjoy, I think this tops my composition by a fair bit.

Lyrics:

This was a triumph.
Im making a note here
HUGE SUCCESS.
Its hard to overstate my satisfaction.
Aperture Science
We do what we must
Because we can
For the good of all of us
Except the ones who are dead.

But theres no sense crying over every mistake
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
And the science gets done
And you make a neat gun
For the people who are
STILL ALIVE

Im not even angry.
Im being so sincere right now.
Even though you broke my heart
AND KILLED ME
And tore me to pieces
And threw every piece into a fire
As they burned it hurt because
I was so happy for you.


Now these points of data make a beautiful line
And were out of beta, were releasing on time
So Im glad I got burned
Think of all the things we learned
For the people who are
STILL ALIVE

Go ahead and leave me
I think Id prefer to stay inside
Maybe youll find someone else to help you
Maybe Black Mesa
That was a joke
HAHA. FAT CHANCE.
Anyway, this cake is great!
Its so delicious and moist.

Look at me still talking when theres science to do?
When I look up there, it makes me glad Im not you.
Ive experiments to run
There is research to be done
On the people who are
STILL ALIVE

And believe me, I am STILL ALIVE
Im doing science and Im STILL ALIVE
I feel fantastic and Im STILL ALIVE
While youre dying Ill be STILL ALIVE
And when youre dead I will be STILL ALIVE
STILL ALIVE
Still alive.

@herty140 sweet...because im gonna send it to my mate he likes it :D

i just want to say....how long did it take you to do this?

it looked a pain in the ass

[herty140]

@jeodemon246 I started it December 2009, finished it Feburary 2010.

However, I procrastinated A LOT.

It's got nowhere near as much effort put into it as my more recent videos. Take a look at this:

i can't use the arranger at all. In fact i totally quit this program and started using advanced mario sequencer.

[herty140]

@PianoKing2000 I don't use AMS purely BECAUSE of no arranger. X D

Ah well, everyone has their preferences.
