So far this is my favorite song from you. And a download link coming soon? SWEET!

The spoiler warning in the beginning was hilarious.

Damn you Miracle! I forced myself to complete Portal 2 tonight, just so I could watch your song!

Wait a minute. Sorry, that should be THANK you, for giving me incentive to finish it off tonight!

This is definitely my favourite song of yours so far! The lyrics are awesome and the accent makes it so much better!

Keep up the good work!

Still a big fan of your work... But...

Well don't take it the wrong way but you cannot hit that accent there, and it's understandable since it's one of the more difficult ones to pull off properly.

This is why you are my favorite person(People?) on the escapist.
I love you as much as I love space.

Great song, the accent surprised me though. i read the lyrics in a GLaDOS voice for some reason.
the last 30 seconds were really good, the background singer (or pre-recording) came off really well.
So are you going to do one in every music genre?
This-Techno
Bulletstorm-country/rock
Dead Space-Funk
Call of Duty/Dragon's Age-Rock
Minecraft-country/rock, slightly gospel feel (it adds, not detracts)
Mass Effect-Disco
Not complaining, and you do really well in all the genres, just can't think of another artist who transfered through genres so well.
The piano/keyboard heavy soundtrack was a nice detour from the guitar, btw
And to the video makers: Loved the turret light show at the beginning

After that music I am pretty sure that Miracle is actually a evil AI, that controls us through that so called "Fallout Song"...

Good song though.
Why don't you have a look through this door here.... the one labelled 'Emergency MiracleOfSound Shutdown and Fallout Song Dispensary'... go on.... open it.... (rubs robotic hands together)
Oh... That? I think there's a trap in there... But if the Fallout Song in really in there then it is worth it...

Wait... What's that? What are you doing?... Is that a brainwashing machine? No, No!

There's no trap in the "Emergency MiracleofSound Shutdown and Fallout Song Dispensary", no Brainwashing machine and Miracle is not a evil AI... In fact there is the Fallout Song in there... and Cake!
And your old friend, deadly earworm neuro-music toxin!
OOOOOOOHHHHHH
Fallout song...
Must...go...to...fallout...song
*hears an autotuned hello
Oh crap...
oh and the Machevilli reference...he'd have no problem removing human morals from the political equation. Except, you know, the fact he could be shot to the moon, I doubt he would keep power for very long

I really liked the song. just one thing bout the video though, it showed a decent amount of the end game scenes. which isnt a huge deal but there was no need to show the scenes... haha idk a small spoilers warning would be good me thinks
Did you skip the first 40 seconds of the video? Because we included the longest spoiler warning of all time!

Admittedly, I was a little disappointed at first. I was hoping for something more akin to GLaDOS's songs, albeit from Wheatley's perspective. Somesuch about how sorry he is or similar. Once I managed to put my hastily conceived expectations aside and let the catchiness sink in, I found it to be an immensely enjoyable tune. Congratulations on another job done amazingly well.
Thanks. I didn't want to try and emulate the Jonathan Coulton songs. They're great and unique and it's his own style.

I've had half of people telling me it's fine and the other half saying it's not so I guess I'll just say it's 'middling'.

This is wonderfully catchy, and it fits Wheatley wonderfully. I absolutely love it - especially the foreshadowing you slipped into the lyrics, heh...and the accent just works perfectly, in my opinion.

Loved it, is Miracle of Sound going to be released on iTunes at some point? Because I want to download all of his stuff.

It's already there and also on Bandcamp. This song won't be up for another 2 weeks though!

Thank you. And it's amusing me to see how much the accent is dividing people :D

You know there's gonna be more 'woos'... you know it! There isn't one in the Fallout song though. I mean, shit, not that I've actually done the Fallout one... or anything... :p

God damn it, I wasn't complaining about the woo, I just found it funny...
*looks for a way to change subject..
So, those Chinese have a REALLY low perception don't they? I was right to the side of one, and still got a stealth crit with a knife

What's that sound effect that happens at 2:50 and again at 2:55? It's really, REALLY familiar.

If Wheatley's IQ is... well, you know... then GLaDOS's IQ is the space from here to the SUN.
The joke is that the space from here to the moon is in fact, not infinite... in otherwords, Wheatley is mistaken about his own IQ.
What I took from the line was that like space Wheatley's IQ is mostly empty :D

This was quite a good song... I'd love to get a version of this that doesn't have the big chunk of empty space at the beginning. Is this available for download (maybe for Pub Club members)?
