Jonathan's notes on the Living In The Shadows:
This piece is about the struggle of being separated from the people you love. I imagine the anime character being forced to walk a lonely path by an otherworldly force.The music reflects their struggle to find their way home by trying to understand this force that is holding them back.Through overcoming a series of challenges, they are able to find the strength to return home, but only after numerous failed attempts and dangerous encounters.

My man said “improvising what’s in my head” and played a whole ass song
-
The way he improvises a masterpiece at 1:25 then casually says "you know, something like that"
-
His soundtracks remind me, of the cool songs you make up in your head, but forget about after a day and get angry since you can't find it again.
-
Petition to get him to make a full version for the thirty seconds one
-
him: “it takes lots of time” also him: writes a banger in 30 seconds
-
My guy wrote a whole fucking masterpiece while he was “improvising”
-
The five hour version is definitely the most well flushed out and feels coherent as an opener. The overall wistful tone of the one hour version feels more like an end credits theme, alluding to variations on one main theme introduced through the movie while a slideshow of stylized representations of stills from pivotal moments fades from one image to the next, recapping the story and growth of the main hero. It feels like the viewers already know the characters.

"Living in the Shadows" - Dude just wrote the score to my new favorite anime that doesn't exist....
-
He really didn't write an anime opening, he wrote a whole anime, all in music. Stunning.
-
“Living in the shadows” actually inspired me to come up with two different story concepts called “Shadow-box” and “Thenafter” respectively, one is about a girl in a literal cycle of abuse as they are forced to relive the same memory until they can break the cycle, and the other is about the scars a hero bears after returning home from their journey
-
Living in shadows, was like some sort of a rollercoaster of emotions, relaxing and epic, i forgot that it was a video not a real video for the song

The 1 hour one brought back memories of the time I watched Tokyo Ghoul with my dog. He died back in 2019 due to old age and the last anime opening he heard was Tokyo Ghoul Unravel. The last anime he watched was Tokyo Ghoul. We watched it together and never finished it together. Took me about 15 months after he died to even start Watching Tokyo Ghoul again so that I could finish it and not leave myself wondering anymore.... I couldn't even watch the rest without crying a bit because of the memories and knowing that my dog would never know the ending of it... Anyways it's a really good piece to listen to...

I’m not only impressed by the way he can write this music, but also his fantastic piano playing skills. Wow

"Fight for freedom" is the type of opening that gets played during the season finale and gets you hype as fuck
