    holy crap! Ridiculous! Such brilliance! Mega props of course to RSO and his amazing singers - but, geez let's not forget those incredible musicians. Jeremy Yaddaw is the best, hands-down and Matt Hinkley and Emily Hope Price - SO talented. Ryan Scott Oliver knows how to pick the best.

    Can someone tell me what this song is about?

    • @coco-gamingart
      @coco-gamingart Před 2 lety +9

      The narrative deals with a character called the Idle Boy, who appears to be traveled into a Wonderland-like world called Crazytown. However Crazytown is far more horrific and adult then Wonderland. The song ends with the Idle Boy feeling his body torn apart and starting the experience again. It is left ambiguous to the listener if Crazytown is real, if it’s a manifestation of the Idle Boy’s delusions, or if he has died and gone to Hell.

    • @mrbusinesss1
      @mrbusinesss1 Před rokem

      I believe it also was inspired by the top 10 nightmares students (or college students??) have according to research which Ryan Scott Oliver read. So like being chased, drowning, etc.
