【Gumi English】 HOUSEWIFE RADIO 【Original Song】

hello to the Tubed You

it's 1am on a saturday morning and i'm gonna talk about communications hopefully for the last time because in the past i didn't do a very good job of keeping my previous talks about it in a Conveniently Accessible All Compiled In One Place, and because of that some people heard what i had to say and some missed :( i don't want people to miss out so i hope this is a good place to put this!

if you don't know what communications was, i'll try to nutshell explain it real quick: it was a song series i started back in early 2016 and cancelled in mid-2017. it's comprised of rotary dial, black&white, housewife radio and broadcast illusion (in that order), and while colorbars is technically related, it wasn't an official part of the series (tl;dr i was gonna use colorbars, didn't like the song though, so i made a new song that basically tells the same story). while small summaries of what each song specifically covered were in the original descriptions, a majority of the story was kept pretty much contained to my now-deleted tumblr account and pretty much only the people who paid attention to that blog knew the most about the story. i talked a lot about what i planned on doing, a majority of which didn't get put into a song before i cancelled the project.

personally, i don't want to re-tell the story (both the stuff that was in video descriptions, stuff that was only on tumblr, and stuff i never talked about publicly). i know doing so would clear up any misunderstandings/contradicting info and give context to what i'm talking about, but i'd still rather not. a LOT of other people and i have had a lot of valid criticisms against communications, and while i know there's some nuance concerning liking something you acknowledge objectively bad/problematic, i personally don't wanna be the one to introduce more people to the series since i currently have....... over twice as many subscribers as i had when i cancelled it, i think? i can't remember how many i had back then but it was definitely under 100k. that's just my personal preference and i hope you can understand!

so here's where i fucked up: my plans for communications started out as a three-song, really shallow story. i didn't have much of anything in mind for it other than a "this happens and then this happens" sorta story, but as more people showed deeper interest in the story and asked questions about it, i started fleshing things out more. it quickly turned into what i planned to be a 12-song series, broken into four separate stories called cases. now, what i did was make the mistake of not thinking at all before i did any of this. i improvised answers to questions without really thinking about how it connected to the story, i didn't give an ounce of thought into how each aspect of the story would reflect on each other, i didn't try to predict what sorts of meanings people could draw from the series (i know that anyone can come up with any interpretation of my stories they want and that's kinda out of my control, but to an extent i do want to make sure my stories couldn't easily be interpreted as something harmful or offensive), just like....... i mean it literally when i say communications was entirely improvised. and improvisation isn't inherently bad, don't get me wrong! but you really need to know what you're doing when you improvise, and unfortunately "knowing what i was doing" and "18 year-old me" were on COMPLETELY opposite ends of the globe

we ended up with a story and characters that hardly made any sense, some characters' developments were flatter than some people think the earth is, and in more aspects than one were insensitive as hell towards even my own experiences. for context, i base a majority of my songs/stories/characters off my own personal experiences. they're not all self-insert levels of similarities, but if you really think about it you'll notice like 80% of my ocs have abandonment issues and are too emotional for their own good. for just one example out of many others.

nancy was a character with abandonment issues, henry was a character who had been abused by his mother frances since childhood, and kennith was a character who faced abuse from his peers and emotional neglect from his parents. except 18 y/o me thought there wasn't gonna be any issues with having nancy kill someone because of her issues, having henry come out relatively un-traumatized, and not talk publicly nearly enough about how kennith's experiences impacted him in adulthood.

while it's true that mentally ill people and abuse survivors can do bad things or be bad people, there's a difference between realistic portrayals and over-represented stigmas. mentally ill people aren't violent, and in reality are much more likely to face violence than commit it themselves, yet the "scary, dangerous mentally ill person" seems to be the majority of the representation we get. emotional abuse is often taken way less seriously than it should be due to there not being any physically visible scars. and lastly, if i say a character is something (especially something under-represented), i should actually show it!

i've heard the argument "but fiction doesn't affect reality that much" over and over again, and i personally disagree? there's plenty of examples of fiction affecting reality - take for example what jaws did to sharks, or a bit closer to this topic, how movies like "psycho" and "split" affected the public's perception of people with dissociative identity disorder. even outside of fiction impacting society, it's just my own personal preference to avoid stigmatic portrayals of mental illness in my songs and stories and i hope that can be respected regardless of your opinion on this particular criticism.

even though the characters in communications stemmed from my own experiences with mental illness, abuse, and neglect, that doesn't mean i could just do whatever the hell i wanted without giving it much thought. i'm still responsible for how i portray my experiences! i genuinely am sorry to anyone who was hurt by how these characters were handled, you guys deserved a lot better.

since working on communications i've learned a lot about myself that's changed the way i view my experiences, and for the past couple years i've been heavily focusing on doing everything i can think of to avoid repeating communications. i had planned a remake of communications to improve all its flaws, but in the end i felt a total loss of enjoyment towards the series because i just wanna move on and do better (which is why i finally cancelled the series). as much as i wish i could turn communications into something that isn't so.......... Yikes, i don't see myself working on the story again and actually being happy while doing so. that's really the best way i can explain why i won't be revisiting the story. i hope i can show i've learned from the whole experience through my future story projects.

this also brings up a side-topic specifically regarding communications' cancellation - i want to say that that decision was in no way anyone's fault but my own. at the time i had expressed feeling pressured when fans would ask "when is the next part coming out?" and "why haven't you uploaded a new part yet?". i can't remember exactly what i said, but i said something along the lines of implying that i might cancel the series if people continued pressuring me to finish it faster. though this wasn't meant as a threat and more of a "i don't perform well under pressure" statement, i totally understand why people would assume it was meant as a threat and why that would be really hurtful (especially considering people were asking those questions out of curiosity, not with the intent to pressure me to work faster). i'm really sorry for having said that, that wasn't ok and i should've handled expressing my concerns with more empathy. i wanna make sure it's clear that the final decision to cancel communications wasn't the public's fault at all - just my own loss of interest in the project.

i think.............. that's about it. i'll come back and edit this post if i think of anything else to add.

Stitch sew cut pull

80 degrees, hemmed by reveries
Iron out saudade and wrinkles unfold
Off-grain fabric tells a different tale
Tailored frequencies need to be repaired

7AM is when the station plays its sounds
Listening to the speaker while the patterns pin into place
Scissors separate the yellow from the white
Good morning, small-town listeners

Thimbles coat my fingers
Feed dogs are jamming up
The thread comes in tangles
I see such pretty things

FM comes in different colors, I believe
In the sewing machine, I've lost myself
Memories inside my heart are there to grieve
Color-coded by the love he gave to me

Ah, his voice, it speaks to me through the radio
Pressing spotted fabric on an ironing board
Losing bobbins under tables, is it so?
Every day, it feels like seams are more than torn

Buttoned patchwork, thread that's tied in knots
Hand-sew everything with kind intention
Liquid sound waves pour from my eyes
My heart cries out to you in desperation

7AM is when the station plays its sounds
Listening to the speaker while the patterns sew into place
Unmistakably, he'll return alive
His colors ought to show again

Black and white and black and white and black and white and black and white
No blue and green and yellow and red; the radio only plays in
Black and white and black and white and black and white and black and white
No blue and green and yellow and red; the radio only plays in
Black and white and black and white and black and white and black and white
No blue and green and yellow and red; the radio only plays in
Black and white and black and white and black and white and black and white
No blue and green and yellow and red; the radio only plays in
Black and white and black and white and black and white and black and white
No blue and green and yellow and red; the radio only plays in
Black and white and black and white and black and white and black and white
No blue and green and yellow and red; the radio only plays in
Black and white and black and white and black and white and black and white
No blue and green and yellow and red; the radio only plays in
Black and white and black and white and black and white and black and white
No blue and green and yellow and red

These aren't the colors i should see

FM comes in different colors, I believe
In the sewing machine, I've lost myself
Memories inside my heart are there to grieve
Color-coded by the love he gave to me

Ah, his voice, it speaks to me through the radio
Pressing spotted fabric on an ironing board
Losing bobbins under tables, is it so?
Every day, it feels like seams are more than torn

Animation memes go brrrr

This song is prob gonna be one of my favorite (vocaloid) songs

Came out as the song number 45 on my 2023 recap :]

All my emotions in one song be like:

"Stitch sew, I tried, stitch sew, you're alive!"
Is this saying she tried to revive her husband that died?

Iron out saudade and the wrinkles unfold.

Listening to the speaker while the,

Scissors separate the,

Good morning small—town listeners.

Thimbles coat my fingers.
Feed dogs are jamming up.
The tread comes in tangles.
I see such pretty things.

FM comes in different colors, I believe.
In the sewing machine, I’ve lost myself.
Memories inside my heart are there to grieve.
Color—coded by the love he gave to me.

Ah, his voice,
It speaks to me through the radio.
Pressing spotted fabric,
on an ironing board.
Losing bobbins under tables, is it so?
Everyday it feels like
seams are more than torn!

Buttoned patchwork,
thread that’s tied in knots.
Hand—sew everything with kind intention.
Liquid sound waves pour from my eyes.
My heart cries out to you in desperation.

7AM is when the station plays it’s sounds.
Listening to the speaker while the

Unmistakably, he’ll return alive.

COLOR—CODED BY THE LOVE HE GAVE TO ME.

AH, HIS VOICE,
IT SPEAKS TO ME THROUGH THE RADIO.
PRESSING SPOTTED FABRIC
ON AN IRONING BOARD.

EVERYDAY IT SEEMS LIKE
SEAMS ARE MORE THAN TORN!!

Please like this comment, it took a LONG TIME.

"Iron out saudade" I just noticed this!! I'm portuguese and saudade means missing someone/longing for something. Only a small amount of languages have an exact translation of this word.

Is it weird that this song managed to calm me down every time I felt like I'm about to snap and give up on everything?

This sounds A Lot Like an Anime Intro, Im Sorry That Im this much of an Annoying anime fan but i really feel like this could be an intro or outro i swear

Even though I'm a bit late about commenting this, IM SO SO SO GLAD MY FAVOURITE SONG GOT 10 MILLION VIEWS!! I love this song and even if its a bit old, it deserves each and every single view <3

why would you use a thimble if you already use your arm as a pin cushion
