00:00Hello, this is eSoup aka Specific Soup. Right now I'm doing a reaction that I don't know if anyone
00:08is gonna watch. I don't know if anyone is gonna look this up. Okay, but it's just something that
00:13I really wanted to do. So I really like this Chinese artist, Vanita Wong. I forget how I
00:20found her, but I follow some just like random Chinese pop culture, Chinese musical artists,
00:26you know, whatever stuff. And she probably popped up in like,
00:30a YouTube suggestion or something. And I've been like obsessed with her ever since.
00:35So at least one of these songs I've heard, but I recently realized she has this thing called the
00:42Seventh Seed Trilogy. And there's a music video for each one. Now I've heard Awaken Me. I absolutely
00:47love Awaken Me. I might have heard the other two songs. They are, well, the second song is Seventh
00:53Seed. And the third song is called Kill the Fear. I don't think I've seen the videos for Seventh Seed
00:59or Kill the Fear. I might have seen the one for Awaken Me, but I don't really remember the video.
01:03I just remember being obsessed with this song. So what I wanted to do was just have a reaction to
01:09the trilogy in full, because I have not experienced it that way. So without further ado, this is Awaken Me,
01:17Act One of the Seventh Seed Trilogy.
01:21Oh, hold on, there's text.
01:24I often feel like I'm a tree grown from a small seed. It doesn't feel like this is my first time
01:29coming to this world. Whether it's the first time, the second time, or the seventh time,
01:35I will always find my way. Oh, so hence the seventh seed. Oh, that is cool.
01:40Oh. Oh, explosions. I forgot about that.
02:01Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh, explosions. I forgot about that.
02:08Oh. Okay.
02:28I don't think I have seen this video after all. I think I saw a performance video of it.
02:32Oh. Oh. What. What. Oh. Okay.
02:49The song is so good, y'all.
02:58Oh.
02:58Oh
03:28Oh I love that part
03:31Just the way that she does that
03:34Oh my god
03:34Love the black nails
03:38Oh
03:40Oh this part
03:46I just
03:50I love this song because
03:51If you listen to a lot of her discography
03:54And then you listen to this
03:56You wouldn't expect her necessarily
03:58To do a song like this
03:59And she still
04:01Is like so at home
04:03In a track like this
04:05In addition to
04:07Like the hip hop that she normally
04:10Does and it's just like
04:12I don't know somehow
04:13She makes this work
04:15Like if I just saw this music
04:18Video and I didn't know this artist at all
04:19I would think that all their stuff kind of sounded
04:22Like this and I would be very surprised
04:24If I went and listened to more things by her
04:25But it's like it's just so cool that
04:28She can
04:28I don't know
04:29Kind of live in all those worlds
04:31Oh I love this part
04:58Oh
04:59Hey that's not a crescent moon
05:17That's a full moon
05:17That's a full moon
05:17Oh my god
05:35Oh my god
05:36Oh
05:37Oh
05:41Okay
05:59I gotta go back
06:23I gotta go back
06:24And listen to that
06:25Again
06:25I just
06:25I love that line
06:26When she says
06:27Awaken me
06:28Her tone
06:29On that
06:30On the wall
06:31Which is me
06:32It's just so
06:33I mean I can't
06:35I can't imitate it
06:36But it's so cool
06:37Oh
06:49Oh
06:50Alright
06:52Oh I don't like that
06:53I don't like that
06:55Oh my god
06:55I don't like that
06:56Oh my god
06:59Oh my god
06:59Oh my god
07:00I love the hand choreography.
07:30Oh, my God, just in her falling.
07:49Ah, I feel like I just heard that for the first time.
07:53I definitely did not.
07:55I've listened to this so many times, but it occurred to me, I don't think I've listened
07:58to it on these headphones before.
08:01And that just added something.
08:03And I just felt like I was in it.
08:06That is just the exact type of song that I'm a sucker for.
08:11Kind of like mythical, mystical, you know, epic.
08:16Like, I don't want to, I don't know.
08:19I don't want to just be like, oh, yeah, I like songs that sound epic.
08:22It's more, there's more to it than that.
08:25But this type of song will just like transport me somewhere else.
08:31So let's move on to the second one in the trilogy.
08:34This is the titular seventh seed.
08:38One day I will grow into a towering tree.
08:41Time will carry my seeds to places farther, higher, and wider.
08:46I believe that every accidental event comes from necessity.
08:49I like that.
08:52I don't remember the song if I have heard it.
08:58Look at that, like a cool wing tattoo.
09:03Okay, and she's falling.
09:04Oh, my God.
09:33Oh, my God.
09:34Oh, my God.
10:04Oh, my God.
10:34Oh, there's the bug.
10:46Oh.
10:47I feel like I should be paying attention to these lyrics.
10:53But one, they are tiny.
10:55They're so little.
10:57Okay.
10:57And two, the sounds that are happening right now, it just makes it hard to pay attention to anything else.
11:02But I know the lyrics are awesome, too.
11:05Oh, my God.
11:22Oh.
11:23Oh.
11:27Oh, that's gorgeous, oh, oh, I love this environment.
11:57And there's that crazy yell again.
12:26Oh, my God.
12:36Oh, my God.
12:38Oh, my God.
12:39All right, well, no, it's just credits.
12:41Okay, I have a vague feeling like I might have heard this song before.
12:48But if I did, it was like automatically playing on Spotify in the background.
12:55I was doing something.
12:56I did not really register everything that happened in that song because, wow, like what an incredible follow up to Awaken Me.
13:07Just that was that was overwhelming.
13:11That was so good.
13:12I'm just I'm just going to get into the next one.
13:15Okay, so here's act three, the final in the trilogy.
13:19Kill the Fear.
13:20Love is the oldest seed in this world.
13:23The most mysterious number.
13:25The most perfect dance.
13:26And the sharpest weapon.
13:28Perhaps there is a way to kill a soul.
13:30But you cannot kill the will that spreads through love.
13:33I can feel it in my soul.
13:43Not nobody can stop me.
13:45Ooh.
13:45Not nobody can stop me.
13:47Not nobody can stop me.
13:49Not nobody can stop me.
13:51Oh.
13:52Oh my god.
14:11Rhinos?
14:12Okay, we're fighting.
14:26Oh my god.
14:50Oh.
15:20Oh my god
15:46This okay, this is going to get stuck in my head
15:49This is absolutely going to get stuck in my head. This one, Kill the Fear, I can say with almost
15:54certainty, I have not heard this one at all in the background or anywhere. I have not heard the
16:00song at all. And it's such an- it's- it's such an incredible finale to this trilogy. I can't deal
16:06with it. I love the environment and the colors in this video.
16:36Ooh. Heartbeat.
16:44Oh. Oh my god, I love the- whatever that is.
17:00Ooh.
17:04Oh my god.
17:16I love this environment.
17:32Nobody can't stop me. Nobody can't stop me.
17:36I think you have to experience all those songs with headphones.
17:48Or really good speakers or whatever. But headphones are probably your best bet to like- or earbuds.
17:54But like something to just pipe the bass into you. You really want to like kind of feel it.
18:02But I mean they're- they're gonna sound good even on like a crappy speaker because they're good songs.
18:10But I'm just- in the first two which I had heard, Awaken Me I had actually heard like the most.
18:16But like with- with these headphones I just kind of like experienced more little bits of the songs that I hadn't really noticed before.
18:24And the whole trilogy together in a row is such an experience.
18:28Everyone who like did all the effects with the video, like the video concept, they just killed it.
18:34The choreography was so good. And I love how- well, so first I said about Awaken Me.
18:40If you hear Awaken Me, you wouldn't really expect Vanita Wong to be like primarily like a hip-hop artist.
18:46But then in the next two songs in the trilogy, like she was rapping in both of them.
18:52Not the whole time. Not for the whole song. That wasn't the whole thing.
18:56But there were significant rap parts. And it all worked really well with the- this overall theme.
19:03This overall sound. Even though there were some like significant differences between the songs.
19:09I feel like that last song just now was the most- I don't know, like had a lot of elements that are more modern sounding usually.
19:18But somehow it just- it still fit in with the overall theme.
19:23I love that. I love when someone can do that.
19:26It's sort of like- it doesn't seem like it would work, but it totally did.
19:30Like I said, this was- I just wanted to react to this because I really like Vanita Wong.
19:35And I had never actually watched all these like trilogy videos.
19:39I don't know if anyone is looking up reactions to her.
19:42But if I- if I'm like one of the first to do one, then I'm happy to be that person.
19:48Because I know I would want to see reactions to her.
19:51I feel like I have looked that up, but- but I- now I don't remember.
19:55But I feel like I did and I didn't find that much, you know, unsurprisingly.
19:59At least in, you know, in English speaking internet, there's not going to be a lot.
20:03So I am happy to be one of those people.
20:05Even if I don't get anybody looking at this, I just wanted to react to this and put this out there.
20:12This is just fun for me.
20:14So please comment, tell me what you think.
20:18Please like and subscribe.
20:20And until next time, this is eSoup signing out.
20:24We'll see you next time.
20:26We'll see you next time.
20:28We'll see you next time.
